They are all very similar words and can be used almost interchangeably, so much so, that it is difficult to describe one of the words, without making reference to the other two! 1) characteristic = a distinguishing feature or quality. It often refers to people and their type of personality, rather than an object. 2) quality = an essential or distinctive characteristic or attribute. It can refer to either somebody, or something. 3) feature = a prominent or conspicuous part or characteristic. It usually refers to something rather than someone but is often used in relation to facial appearance i.e. 'facial feature'. Hope this helps, it is not an easy one!
