It means your character is a reflection of you on the inside. If you're in the dark, no one can see your physical attributes and will not be influenced by outward appearance. Instead, they see the real you. In other words, its like saying "don't judge a book by its cover." Character has nothing to do with outward appearance.

Character is the kind of person you are ..and obviously when you're in the dark, no one can see you.. so case in point, it means, what kind of person you are really shows when you think no one can see, or you think no one is looking.
