The description is useful, but not needed. Mostly just a reminder of what makes that character unique.
But, i'd suggest not using the official character sheet, it's has several small issues.
Some alternatives (there are more, searching on this forum or google may find some)

Obviously, I recommend my own. It's a work of art that surpasses the Mona Lisa, and will be remembered longer. But you may disagree with me, and continue to use the official one.
