Deconstructing Character Protagonist

A tree relates to my character because of the colors he wears. His outfit consists of different shades of green and accents of brown. The bottom of his shirt and the sleeves are jagged to resemble leaves.  His shoes are brown and look like tree roots. Trees usually create a sense of safety because they are grounded and strong. They are also organic indicating purity and simplicity. These colors can also be a form of camouflage on the island he lives on. Shades of green and brown will help him blend in with plants and trees to hide from his enemies. 

This spotlight represents my character because it resembles the moon. My character spends a lot of time flying in the moonlight because he visits people during the night. Even when he is in a house the moonlight is still shining on him, almost making him a godly figure.  The lighting usually brightens whenever my character comes on screen, suggesting he is “the good guy.” Although he is always in the spotlight, it is hard for his enemies to keep an eye on him and capture him. His shadow detaches from him at one point suggesting there is no dark or evil part to this character.

My character takes the same shape as a bird when he flies. He generally holds out his arms when he flies, but he doesn’t flap his arms. He likes to be enthusiastic and show others how to soar to his homeland. He tells others to think happy thoughts to give them the power to fly. When this doesn’t work, sprinkling fairy dust on his friends seems to do the trick. Only one other person on his home island can fly; this ability is especially helpful when he needs to fight evil or travel long distances. This is the power that sets him apart from regular people. 


Peter Pan!
