Words that rhyme with Character
You can read character two ways: as a common-tongue word, or as a three-syllable shape on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel that flows into the next line via a liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: nothing matches this word strictly, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why character rhymes the way it does
In our engine, character registers as a three-syllable word on the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) that spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 141, assonance 12,115, and consonance 19. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Character rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
