The Mismatched Friends

Create a story about the friendship between two unlike characters.

One character could be outgoing and the other could be shy, one could be wealthy and the other live in poverty, or make them from different species in a fantasy setting. Develop a storyline about how these oppositely characterized individuals can become friends. Show conflicts that emerge because of their differences, and how mutual understanding and respect help to resolve these conflicts, hence reinforcing their bond. This prompt encourages empathy, creative storytelling and thorough understanding of character development.
