Unlikely Hero’s Friend

Introduce a companion who is significantly different from your Hero – different backgrounds, values, or skills.

Diversity and contrast often brew a perfect blend of tension, discourse, and eventual understanding in a narrative. An unlikely companion with stark contrast to the hero pose an excellent opportunity to weave a story between them that navigates the nuances of their differences, the challenges they need to overcome to acknowledge and understand each other and how this relationship eventually helps them in their journey.
