Top 5 Wednesday - Favorite Character Tropes

Top 5 Wednesday

Favorite Character Tropes

July 29th

*a character trope are things you see often in books, maybe sometimes they get redundant or are overused (especially in ya) but you can't help but love them. A couple examples
- one girl against the government
- two best friends falling in love



  • The Love Triangle  
    • Two guys, one new flame, one old friend, + the girl
    • Bad boy, Shy boy combo
  • Anti Heroes
    •  Bad boys who are good men
  • The childhood and or past trauma 
    • that is the root of all things evil 
    • the reason why a character is so determined to "do good"
    • how the other characters react
    • maybe its something just the reader and the main character know
  • That side character you always relate with or crush on
    • For me its often the big muscly guy who has a : always had the same girlfriend or is always single with no one really interested in him
  • Destiny. Fate. Signs ect
    • This is a hard one to put down because there is so much love hate. Some books have it written in perfectly and with others I just find it unnecessary and frustrating. 
    • Love should never be destined
    • Birthday transformations are a grey area
    • Prophecies are a favourite of mine
    • Birth Marks are a grey area
