Characters

1.The main character is Cher Horowitz

2.I'm not sure if she would be classed as a main character or not but Tai?

3.The story is about both of the main characters

4.It's told from Cher's point of view

5.Cher is blonde, popular and girly. Tai is brunette/ginger and more of a tomboy

6.The way they dress will show how wealthy they are

7.They use slang and have american accents

8.Cher behaves like a stereo-typical popular, rich girl. Tai behaves like a confused, innocent new girl who is grateful for what she has

9.They are relatively nice but when they don't want to talk to people, they'll let them know

10.Cher because she's the main character so she's made to be liked

11.Cher's mum

12.Cher's mum died so if she was in the story, Cher might be more compassionate towards other people and more caring.

Propp

  • The Hero- generally leads the narrative; has a quest or has to solve something; wants to succeed; can be any gender
  • The Villain- struggles against the hero; seen as morally bad; attempts to stop hero from achieving goal
  • The Donor- gives the hero something special (power/weapon/wisdom etc); enables hero to complete quest
  • The Helper- supports hero (sidekick); appears at critical moments; their limitations help define the hero
  • The Princess- can take two forms; the object sought by the hero or the reward
  • The Dispatcher- sends hero on the mission (can be combined with another role)
  • The Father- gives task to the hero; authority figure; protective over princess (doesn't have to be her biological father)
  • The False Hero- appears to act heroically and often mistakes for the real hero; gets credit for the work; gains respect from the father
