A fictional character is a person or animal in a narrative work of fiction (such as a novel, play, television series, or movie). The character can be completely made up or based on a real-life person. In that case, the difference between a “fictional” and “real” character can be made. Coming from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ, the English word dates from the Restoration, although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749. From this, the sense of “a part played by an actor” developed. Character, mainly when played by an actor in the theatre or cinema, involves “the illusion of being a human person.”

The word character can also mean “personality”. We can say that someone has a “strong character” meaning a strong, confident personality. It is sometimes used as a noun in this sense: “He is a real character” (meaning someone you cannot easily forget).
