I would craft Isabel to be the main character of a folk/fairy tale. I chose Isabel because she is such a nice and kind person. She always has a smile on her face and I always have fun when I’m with her. I think she would be an amazing main character because she isn’t boring, she would keep her readers intrigued.
If I had to create my own folk/fairytale my main character would be Alyssa. I would choose Alyssa because she is really nice and always brings a bright and positive attitude to the table. I could see her being a character that would work through obstacles with a smile on her face, and always find the good in bad situations. I think she would be a character that would keep readers wanting to turn the page.
If I were to make my own fairytale, I would make the main character someone just like me! I’ve heard so many stories, between reading books, watching movies and shows, that I’ve always wished I could actually be the person the story is about. I want to fight in awesome battles with magic like in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, or find my prince charming like Cinderella or Belle. I want to be the amazing character everyone loves to read about, living in a cool magical world with awesome powers and friends. So my fairytale would be about a girl just like me, so I could have a story that I can picture myself in.
If I were to create my own fairy tale, the main character that I would create would probably be someone who is quick witted, smart, and slightly naive, a young person, between 11-14 years old. The reason I would make the protagonist this way is because I feel that fairy tales often have lessons that are involved with coming-of-age stories, and I believe that it is beneficial to write about a character in this age range because chances are, most people truly analyzing the story would be around or older than that age. Hopefully, they would be able to relate to the transformations in personality, character, and understanding that happen during this time. By putting the protagonist in this situation, it allows for a comparison between the fictional story and our real lives in a way that would hopefully make sense and be easy to see and understand, even to younger readers.
If I were to write my own fairytale, I would make my dog the main character. I think her story has a classic fairytale theme. She is a rescue who has been through a lot and now lives a great life.
If I were to create my own folk/fairy tale I would make my main character an intelligent young woman who likes to go on different adventures and discover new things. I would use this type of character because I feel like it would be entertaining to read about the different adventures she’d go on and the reader could easily learn lessons from her stories. I think there is a lot of room for creative twist and turns that her adventures could possibly take. I also think that this type of character isn’t common in old folk and fairy tales, so it would be different.
If I were to create my own folk/fairy tale my main character would be a comical, quick thinking, and understanding young adult. These qualities not only represent someone who is enjoyable and entertaining, but they also can represent a person who has experienced past traumas. These past experiences can shape the exciting adventures the main character takes us along with.
Loving these choices so far!
If I were to create my own folk/fairytale, I would make the main character my grandpa. He knows how to adjust himself to life changes and moved to New York from across the Atlantic, bringing himself into a new environment. He knows how to get through difficult obstacles and is very brave, and therefore I think he would be an entertaining and strong main character.
If I were to create my own fairytale, my heroine would be a young blind girl. Probably between the age 10-12, who also loves fairytales. Since she isn’t able to properly see the world around her, her ideas of the stories was very wild and vivid. Initially, she would only listen to stories, but when she finally learns how to read them in braille it was as if she could finally see everything crystal clear. The beasts, the townsfolk, the heroine all right in front of her as her finger traced the braille. She didn’t feel just the words, but the setting of the story around her.
I technically have stories which rhyme and twist into fairytale and mythical situations. So I’ll kind of come up with a story within another, worldbuilding is fun! I think it’d be two protagonists, a young child lost within a tangled woods, almost consumed by the grove they have wandered into, wandering away from the fields where they farm and work. There they meet a little animal, I feel like a fox is fitting for the overall setting where this takes place, but it could easily be a unique little creature. One that’s cunning and smart, yet earnest and helpful.
A Tale of Two, A Child and a Fox, A Tale of Two who were Spirited Away as so many young children are; through wild wood, through thick and barren bramble, all through a mystical forest, as they all truly are.
I would make my fairytale protagonist a young adult girl whose ideas and perception of romance has been influenced by pre-existing fairytales, leading her into dangerous relationships she would ultimately learn to escape from. This is because I was interested by the textbook’s discussion of the woman’s view on romance being influenced by childhood fairytales, along with viewing some of myself in that account (emphasis on finding true love and romance since I was very young). Additionally, a decent majority of popular fairytales involve (at times questionable) romance and “happily ever afters”, so this tale would act as a subversion to the trope. The partners would most likely have monstrous stand-ins the protagonist would defeat (callback to the symbolism of ogres and witches).
If I were writing my own fairytale, I would make the main character my Mom. She does so much for our family come rain or shine. Not only is she extremely hardworking, but also as equally loving, compassionate, protective, and loyal. Through all the hardships and conflict she’s been through throughout her life, she always shows up for her family and loved ones no matter what, and with a smile on her face. I think these are good morals to teach.
If I were to make my own Fairy Tale I would make the main character a life giving well, that heals through drinking its water. This well will be like a character, with the ability to talk and sometimes even take form as humanlike. It will do more than heal, but give advice and also with the help of its city, defend itself from people who try to steal the water selfishly for themselves. I think this would make an interesting story, showing how even things that do not seem alive, may actually be what give us life in the first place, and may be just as alive as us.
That is a twist, Erik. And yes, objects can be main characters as well as people.
