character references
Testimonials about someone
Character references are people who can vouch for someone's integrity, reliability, or general character—typically in job applications, rental agreements, or legal proceedings.
Unlike professional references who speak to work performance, character references attest to personal qualities: She listed her pastor and a longtime neighbor as character references.
