Craft a story about a protagonist whose physicality doesn’t match the typical “hero” image.
Fantasy literature is full of strong, handsome heroes or heroines. What happens when your protagonist is physically different? They may be small, weak, elderly or disabled – but that does not impede their heroism. Explore this character’s journey, how they overcome challenges and biases, and how they use their unique qualities to their advantage. This theme can lead to a deeper exploration of individuality, adversity, and resilience.
