When players set up a game in Ara: History Untold, they'll have to pick which leader they'd like to be moving forward. On the right side of the screen, they'll be able to view their traits. The first trait to appear is the leader's unique treat because even though leaders can share traits, the unique trait is exclusive to that leader.

The traits below the leader's unique trait are shared by several leaders. They will affect various aspects of this historical strategy game, and they can either be positive or negative. The banner color represents what the trait focuses on, and the trait background color let's the player know if it's a positive or negative trait. Traits with a yellow background are positive traits, while traits with a violet background are negative.
