Suppose $K$ is a quadratic imaginary field, and $\phi:G_K\rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times}$ is a finite order Galois character satisfying $\phi\phi^c=1$ (where $c$ is a complex conjugation). Can we necessarily write $\phi=\psi^c/\psi$ for some finite order character $\psi:G_K\rightarrow \overline{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times}$? What about for a CM field?
Can every Galois character phi with phi phi^c = 1 be written as psi/psi^c?
