I believe the answer is:

tosca

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dramatic character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a wild coast' is the wordplay.
'a wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coast' is an anagram of 'TOSCA'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tosca that I've seen before include "Puccini's Rome opera" , "Puccini opera set in Rome" , "One of Puccini's 19" , "Puccini heroine" , "title role" .)
