Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'cheerful' (joyful, optimistic) with 'personality' (a person's characteristic temperament), so the adjective straightforwardly describes the noun. This standard adjective + noun composition is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the phrase meaning.
Etymology
Cheerful personality comes from cheer, meaning loud, happy praise, and personality, meaning how a person usually is. Imagine someone who always brings that happy energy and makes others feel better, so the phrase means a person who is always 'happy' and 'uplifts' others.
