When we were kids I shared a bedroom with my two sisters. One night my little sister said " Mom, what does f*** mean?" My mother had the presence to say "Why?" and my sis replied "All the boys write it in the steam on the bus windows." Mom said "It's a bad word, don't ever use it." instead of launching into a sex talk that my sis didn't care about that night.

That's a little silly for a serious question like yours, but I've found that you can't really give a good answer to a question like that with out asking "Why?" It seems like there's a big story behind her asking the question.

But the question "Does character require conflict?" - Sometimes. Sometimes standing up for something will cause conflict and you should be prepared to deal with it. But sometimes sometimes character eases conflict too.
