    It depends on the sentence you have made. Often, word is lame and disagrees with my grammar but when I KNOW it's right I ignore word. Paste your sentence and we'll give you a second opinion.

    edit: I think in this case you should use THAT. If you used the word PERSON instead of CHARACTER then it would be WHO not THAT.
