Unexpected Hero

Write about a seemingly insignificant character who, in the story’s climax, becomes the unlikely hero.

Often, characters seemingly in the background of your story can have the most profound impact in the end. Challenge the conventional roles of heroes and villains by assigning the heroism to an overlooked or underestimated character. This exploration of the underdog triumphing not only surprises the reader, but also encourages an analysis of the subtleties and potential hidden in every individual within a narrative.
