character or reputation....

If a person has good morals and good ethics, then their character will be without reproach. That doesn't mean,though, that everyone is going to view them as good people. It doesn't take too much for someone to give you a bad reputation. They may disagree with how you believe, what you do, among other things and start rumors against you. That makes others perceive you as not having a good reputation. And, the only way they will realize it isn't true is to get to know you personally. That's why it is very important to always watch what you say, what you do, and be honest in all things. I would never do something against my will in order to be accepted by someone. Life it too short to follow after people and lose your good character and gain a bad reputation.

This is extremely easy! My character is far more important than my reputation. It doesn't matter what people think of me and if my character is good and strong they'll be drawn to me anyway.

If we work on our reputations people will see through this and know we're only interested in our popularity. People like those who are sincere and are being themselves.
