Write a character profile, about 1 paragraph. This character can be a person, animal or even an alien or a fantasy creature. Your character should be one of the following.
HERO. This should be the main character of the story. The hero can save the day, or try and fail. He doesn't have to be completely good or noble. He can make some very bad choices, but he should never give up trying.
eg. Peter Pan, Luke Skywalker, Don Quixote
HEROINE. She is usually the hero's love interest. She can be the lady in distress who needs to be rescued, or a strong woman who takes matters into her own hands. She can also be smarter than the hero and the one who saves the day in the end.
eg. Wendy, Princess Leia
SIDEKICK. This is the hero's best friend and confidant. The sidekick admires the hero and stays by his side.
eg. Tinkerbell, Robin, Sancho Panza
VILLAIN. The villain is greedy, selfish and hungry for personal gain. It can be the villain's motive to defeat the hero or to have his own goal that the hero feels he must stop. He must let nothing stand between him and his goal.
eg. Captain Hook, the Joker
VILLAINESS. She may be the love interest to the villain or a competitor to the heroine, vying for the affections of the hero. Like the villain, she must let nothing stand in her way.
eg. Harley Quinn, Cat Woman, Tinkerbell
LACKEY. This is the villain's sidekick. He may admire the villain or simply fear him. But he stays by his side. Unlike the sidekick, he might leave or betray the villain if he thinks it's in his best interests.
eg. Smee to Capt. Hook, Renfield to Dracula
GURU. This is someone older and wiser who teaches and advises the hero. Maybe he was a hero in his own day. But now he can only look on and drop pearls of wisdom.
eg. Yoda, Batman's butler Alfred
Once you have chosen what kind of character you have, you must decide several things.
1. What does he/she want?
2.What obstacles stand in his/her way?
3.What is he/she willing to do to get it?
4. What is this person's defining characteristic? (think adjectives: brave, honest, selfish, afraid...etc.)

ReplyDeleteRobin Hood is a brave and tall man who stands up for the poors in his country. At first he is stealing the money from the richest and afterwards he shares it among the poorest.
ReplyDeleteThat hero who has a big heart and is also clever in the way he is acting, knows how to handle with bow and arrow professionally.
Loved by the poor and hated by the rich who are afraid of being robbed by him, he has a big popularity with all the girls around him.
That guy, that is always wearing a green hat with a beautiful feather, a jacket of the same colour and brown boots, knows how to behave for being successfull with them.
