The Good, the Bad, the Morally Gray, and...The Non-Human - Our Favorite Secondary Characters
Mentors, heralds, allies, shapeshifters--today we explore secondary character archetypes, how a side character can be integral to the main character's growth as well as the overall plot itself, and the fact that some of the best secondary characters might not even be human--or living--at all. Some are gone too soon. Some almost die but don't. And some get their just desserts in the end. Whatever the outcome, we love a three-dimensional side character with main character energy and can't wait to hear about your favorites too!
