The characteristics that best describe Antigone are "She lives by her own moral code", because she does what she thinks is right despite human's law; "She sacrifices herself for her values", because she does what she thinks is right, even if that causes her death; and I think the last one is also correct because it is a difficult choice to make to stand for one's values despite the consequences, but a part is missing so I can't be sure.
