Accessibility
- The avatar image receives characterName as its alt text; if the image is unavailable, the fallback shows avatarFallback or the character name’s first letter.
- The character name is rendered as an h2, and section titles are rendered as h3 headings.
- The progress bars are built on the Radix Progress primitive and receive the calculated percentage as their value.
- Section labels such as Health, Mana, and Experience are visually adjacent to their bars, but the source does not explicitly associate those labels with the progress elements.
- The decorative separators use the underlying separator component’s decorative default.
