This is it. Our journey through the four fairy tale archetypes is finally over. And what a journey this has been!
We’ve met tyrants, who seized power and ruled through fear. We’ve met advisors, wise men and women who gave us advice. And we’ve met beggars, who often turned out to be something more than they appeared to be. But wait—there is one more type of character who is waiting to take the stage: the champion.
Champion: "one that does battle for another's rights or honor."
The champion is usually the hero of the story, or the protagonist. He or she is the one who must face the tyrant, who receives the gift of the advisor, and who encounters the beggar along the way. The champion must choose to set out on a journey, overcoming insurmountable odds to achieve victory.
