Something portraying me / Something depicting me


Explanation:
Look at definition number 2 of the Oxford below. I believe this is most appropriate in this context - a description:

caracterizar ÞA4 vt
1 (distinguir, ser típico de) to characterize; los síntomas que caracterizan la enfermedad the
symptoms which characterize the illness o which are characteristic of the illness; con la franqueza
que lo caracteriza with his characteristic frankness
2 (describir) to portray, depict; lo caracterizó como el suceso más importante del año he described it
as the most important event of the year
