The Unlikely Champion

Write about a character who doesn’t possess the typical traits of a hero but manages to save the day.

Often, heroes are depicted as strong, handsome, and brave. But what happens when your hero is none of these things? What if they’re shy, clumsy or even a little cowardly? This prompt allows writers to delve into the theme of unconventional heroism, showcasing that often, bravery is not about physical strength, but rather about the strength of character, and courage is not always about facing danger, but also about fighting one’s own fears.
