So many different people in the world, there should be many in your book, here are just a few ways to describe these people without having to go into paragraphs. Try finding people who resemble the words in order to help you remember them.
Pawky- (adjective) Sly, shrewd; dryly humorous.
Example: The History Teacher who thinks it's funny to tell you your report it due a week before it really is, then admits he was 'joking' after you spend the next 24 hours panicking and tells you he made his little joke to motivate you to get the report done faster. Joy, now you have more time to perfect it.
Lowering- (adjective) Sullen, frowning, gloomy.
Example: You can say a lowering frown as i have seen this word used that way. It implies more unhappiness. However, you can also describe a character as lowering. The old woman down the street who walks her small but surprisingly temperamental dog past the park, snarling at the kids playing tag. If you wave, she will glare at you.
If you walk past her, she will glare, her dog with snap. If you jog past her she will screech after you for scaring her dog. She's the woman who would rather shoot you than look at you, and even those who bow to her are not in her favor.
Sequacious- (adjective) Unthinkingly following others.
Example: Someone stereotypical... who acts a certain way because it is ideal. Think of the A+ student who sucks up to the teachers, joins all the 'right' clubs, joins the cheer squad, yadda yadda yadda.
Tatterdemalion-
(adjective) Ragged, tattered.
Example, the person who wears ripped jeans
(noun) A person in ragged clothes.
