First, you have to know that there are different categories of characters in literature/fiction. 1. Categories of Characters: A) Central character/Main characters are characters, which are most important for the story. In traditional fairy tales, for example, they are usually the heroes / the heroines. The plot¹ is built around them, and most of the time it is their story being told. In the Shrek movies, Shrek and Princess Fiona would be called central characters, for instance². 1 Handlung 2 = for example B) Background characters ... are characters that play important roles and sometimes they have their big moments, nonetheless³, they are just supporting characters and are not always present in the story. They are part of the story but it is not their story! In Shrek, the Donkey or Puss in Boots are such characters. CREED II ROCKY'S LEGACY Y CINEMA C) Intermediate characters are characters that are only important to keep the story going. Normally, they appears just for a few moments and mainly stand for short actions and ideas that help the story/plot. In Shrek, the three blind mice or the gingerbread-man are these kinds of characters.
