When you are writing a story and refer to a character by a physical trait, occupation, age, or any other attribute, rather than that character’s name, you are bringing the reader’s attention to that particular attribute. That can be used quite effectively to help your reader to focus on key details with just a few words. However, if the fact that the character is “the blond,” “the magician,” “the older woman,” etc. is not relevant to that moment in the story, this will only distract the reader from the purpose of the scene.
If your only reason for referring to a character this way is to avoid using his or her name or a pronoun too much, don’t do it. You’re fixing a problem that actually isn’t one. Just go ahead and use the name or pronoun again. It’ll be good.

Step 1: Read the word. Step 2: Wrong.
Some day I’m going to have to come up with a crack headcanon about what exactly is up with the body types in Hyrule’s royal family.
I mean, yeah, it’s probably just dramatic license, but if you take it as fully diegetic, King Hyrule is a straight up beast of a man.
Ganondorf is Gerudo, so there’s at least some textual justification for him being a lanky ogre-man, but what’s King Hyrule’s excuse?
He’s like eight feet tall, and about three feet broad at the shoulder; his fist is the size of an ordinary man’s head!
And yet his daughter consistently has totally average proportions.
There’s something funny going on with the royal bloodline, is what I’m saying.
