In Character Mode, do you still gain experience and move your story on after failing a quest?
The publisher and the rulebook's Tracking Experience Points text agree that a failed character quest still earns experience.

Yes. A failed encounter gives no rewards, but you still earn the experience star, the reaction paragraph is read, and you mark the next character quest. This holds even if you chose not to spend hearts on the attempt.
