Player Data vs Character Data

Question from a developer:

I’m not sure whether to use PlayerData or CharacterData for my game. The player will only have one character, though. What are the essential differences?

If the player only has one "avatar" in the game, I wouldn't bother with the Character system or Character Data. That's designed for games where the player can have multiple avatars (or vehicles, etc.), so that each Character can have its own inventory, statistics, virtual currency, and data.
