'''Character''' refers to the indefinable qualities that make up a person's unique [[personality]], especially those traits that are positive. For example, an honest person is said to have "good character." In this sense, character may be interchangeable with [[reputation]].Character is also intimately related with one's outlook on life. For example, one might have a [[conservative]] character, identified by a strong sense of self, by self-reliance and abhorrence of [[deceit]], or, conversely, a [[liberal]] character.
