There are many of them. The one I find to be the most important is integrity--an internal understanding of what is right and wrong and the will to act on what you believe to be right.
Others which my curriculum teach include attitude, preparation, perseverance, honesty, empathy, compassion, leadership, loyalty, duty, and tolerance (among others).

I'm not 100% sure what your asking, but there are the 'big 5' personality traits which are Neuroticism, agreeableness, openness, extraversion and conscientiousness. Each of these traits exist in everyone to a larger or smaller degree. In other words one person can be high in neurotisism (so not as emotionally stable) and high on extraversion, where as the next person may be higher on conscientiousness.
There are countless specific traits that can be seen as positive, such as loyalty, trustworthiness, good sense of humour etc. but the question you're asking can actually be a lot more complex that that.
For example, new research has begun investigating the theory of humanness, this basically refers to the idea that we percieve ourselves to be more human than others (like the in-group preservation stuff). In this theory it has also been shown that we are even willing to take on some negative traits if it makes us more human. e.g 'I feel jealous, but its only because i'm human.'
So to answer your question, if you want to list ALL the good character traits you will probably be here for a while, but keep in mind that some negative traits can also be good.
here is a list of a few potential traits/characteristics:
curious
friendly
broadminded
fun-loving
sociable
trusting
passive
focussed
patient
secure
humble
confident
organsied
polite
through
warm
conservative
extraverted
intraverted
hope that helps a little and doesnt confuse you too much!
