The phrase is fully compositional: 'fictitious' means not real or invented and 'character' refers to a person in a story, so together they straightforwardly denote an imaginary person. This adjective+noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and requires no idiomatic knowledge, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
