15ac. Ocker's ugly character is reflected.

I'm almost sure the answer is 'Drac'
Card (character reflected)

It is Aussie Slang for Dracula. (I.E. Ocker)
But the only Definitions I can find are 'Drack'
Maybe this is an alternative spelling.

drack
drak/
adjectiveAustralianinformal
adjective: drack

(especially of a woman) unattractive or slovenly.
dreary and dull.

Yes, that must be it: Collins does have that spelling, even though it's not in the OED (and Chambers omits the word .)
