Explanation:

"Character is what you are in the dark." --> By character, the author means one's true qualities. Now, as for dark, there is more than one possible interpretation. First, in the dark, we cannot see around us. That also means no one can see you, so you are free to do and be whatever you'd like. This allows for the first interpretation: 2. You are most yourself when no one is watching.

Dark can also refer to "dark times", to difficulties and troubles. Often, when we face a hardship, we tend to show our traits more easily. Calm people, for instance, react calmly. A dishonest person may see the difficulty as an opportunity to do crafty things. Here, we have our second interpretation: 3. Dark and troubled times bring out a person's true nature.

Finally, we can think of dark as referring to that part of ourselves that no one has access to. It is a part of our minds or hearts, something on the inside, that guides us, that holds our true personality. Here, we have the final interpretation: 4. Your true nature in on the inside.
