Propp's Character Archetypes.

These are Propp's seven character archetypes;

1. The villain
2. The donor – this person gives the hero information or an object to help him on his way.
3. The helper – often magical in nature, such as a talking animal, helps the hero.
4. The princess and her father – For Propp these two often serve the same purpose in regard to their function within the story. Whether being sought after by the hero, or setting the hero on his quest, unmasking the false hero or providing the hero with his reward, both characters often fill the same space.
5. The dispatcher – this character informs the hero of what is needed, or the lack, and sends him off on his journey.
6. The hero
7. The false hero – tries to take the hero's place either by taking credit for his actions or trying to marry the princess

In our film we will not be able to fit in all of these characters.
However, we plan to use these;

The Hero - Sam. Our main character. She is the one exploring her new world
she is occaisionally aided by the 'Hung Helper' - this character would be the helper, rather obviously due to his name.. But we are also making this character the donor, and maybe even the dispatcher.
We also have the villain - crucial to every fantasy. The villain shall be Sam's father in the real world, who in the fantasy world will be an exaggerated version of himself. Obviously we would probably fit in all or as many as characters as we could, if we were making a full film.
