Paper doll

The paper doll (also called the character sheet) is the default display shown in the character info frame. It shows what the player's character looks like and the various item slots that can be equipped (held or worn) by the character.

The terms "paper doll" and "character sheet" both come from pen-and-paper RPGs.

Tabs at the bottom of the character info frame provide easy access to other facets of a character, such as its reputation with various factions and any currencies it may possess. In addition, pet classes (hunters and warlocks) have access to the pets tab, which is their combat pet's paper doll.
