Brave character (4)

I believe the answer is:

hero

(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Man admired for courage and nobility" , "Chief good guy in a book or film" , "chap we revere" , "Leander's love" , "Leander's lover - a person of courage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
