Character is defined by the LAROUSSE dictionary as the set of consistent emotional dispositions through which an individual reacts to their environment and which make up their personality. It is the way a person typically responds in a given situation. A young woman should strive to be someone pleasant to live with, someone who respects herself and others, whether they are older or younger.
