  3. Character • A character is a person, animal, or imaginary creature that takes part in the action of a story. An author can develop a character by showing you the character’s appearance and personality, speech and behavior, thoughts and feelings, and interactions with other characters.

  4. Main/Secondary • Main character (also known as the major character) is the most important character in the story. They are most often the protagonists. • Secondary character (also known as the minor character) is less important in the story. They interact with the main character and with each other but we don’t know much about them.

  5. Static/Dynamic • Static characters are those that stay the same in the story, there is hardly any change at all. • Dynamic characters change from beginning to end.

  6. Protagonist/Antagonist • Protagonists are the “heros”, they are usually the main character in the story. The action of the plot revolves around the character. • Antagonists are the “bad guys”, they are the person or thing working against the protagonist.
