Ideally, around 3 lines of text for a brief description is enough to attract people to the branch off article while still being brief.

This is the absolute perfect length for a brief description, although that will rarely happen, so most brief descriptions will end up looking like this or this.

Writing a brief description that is slightly too short is fine as long as you think that you've covered everything you can, brief descriptions that are slightly too long are good for characters that have a lot of moves or a notable gimmick, but these longer descriptions are not vital.

Don't, however, do a brief description like this, this is not acceptable.

Remember, brief descriptions are normally the only part of the article in which you can write about the character's sprites and animations, don't waste that opportunity!
