Ever looked at a pineapple and wondered why it doesn’t act more like a banana? It’s all about attributes! Let’s peel back the rind and unearth the juicy secrets of these essential qualities!
What Are Attributes?
Attributes are those peculiar qualities that make things undeniably themselves. Like how a magician has a top hat, wand, and a mysterious air, an attribute is a characteristic that taps into the essence of an item, creature, or concept—without it, things just wouldn’t be the same!

Types of Attributes
