Character Description

More Character Images

Enter the Confidant. They (statuary and inanimate objects can serve this purpose, as can pets) are the one person that the character can confide in. The Confidant doesn't just listen though; they understand and keep the secret, no matter how much it sucks. They may or may not have profound, sensible, or well-reasoned advice; sometimes just listening can help the character achieve an epiphanic "Eureka!" Moment. The Confidant can be any cast member or a one-time-only character. Interestingly, The Confidant isn't necessarily everyone's Confidant; there may be a daisy chain of confidants in the story.
