It's so amazing how a single story can contain hundreds of characters (like I feel like the Mahabharata does) or can contain only one of two. There are so many endless possibilities when writing a story. I liked this graphic because it has examples of some characters we see a lot in stories (the hero, the old man, the girl, the faithful hound, the guards) but it also shows some really silly ones too (the floating skull, the dancing bear, the giant cat, the talking shrub). There are so many more possibilities out there for characters too (that kind of blows my mind). I think the first hurdle (and the most important part) to writing a story, is determining what characters you want to use and how you want to use them.
