Traits are specialized skills that you have to acquire in the game. Traits offer the unique benefit of obtaining prestige in different ways. Traits are purchased with prestige and their overall values are tied directly to your provision.

Each trait can be raised by 5% per 1k prestige up to a total of the level of your trainer. The trainer is a player or NPC who has the appropriate skill and can train up to their skill level. You do pay prestige for training however it does not go to the trainer. In order for a trainer to train over skill levels 60% and higher they must have the teacher perk.
