Day Twenty-Three

In my story, the social responsibility of the characters are basically pretty obvious in the way that they act and speak. There's always the good, the bad, and the ones in between.

First is Princess Katsumi, her social responsibility is like the yang of the yin. She's bright and her actions in the story is never wrong. She's the one that everyone feels sorry for, because her step-mother dislikes her. She's always honest and trustworthy to her people. She can also kind of have the role of the hero in the story, since it was her that went to go find her love at the end of the story.

Samurai Nobuo's social responsibility is to be a loyal lover. Every action that he takes is only for the love of his true princess. Never will he purposely love the step-sister, because he has a kind and loving heart that truly loves only one person. He may seem like he is supposed to the be prince charming, and the hero, however I think he's a little of both, but not really the hero part. The reason I think so is because he's a hero in his own way, but he isn't the one to save the day, the princess was. He just played a role to help the princess find him.

Empress Neikan is the step-mother, so her social responsibility is to make sure that Princess Katsumi lives a miserable and lonely life, and spoil her own daughter. Her role is the main antagonist, and since this is so then most of her actions will never be beneficial to the protagonist. Instead it'll always cause some kind of harm to the princess.

Princess Donyoku is the step-sister, I think her social role is one of the ones that are in between-ish. The reason I say this is because her actions may be kind of rude, but it is never to hurt the ones around her. Her actions are just for her own selfishness and enjoyment, she just doesn't see the pain that she casts upon the others around her, especially Princess Katsumi.

Samurai Tadashi is the good friend of Samurai Nobuo, his social responsibility is to help Samurai Nobuo through his trials. I think he's another character that has social responsibility in between. He's there to help and he's also like the loyal friend of the prince, or in other words, Samurai Nobuo. Although he's like a minor character, the bird would not have survived if it were not for Samurai Tadashi.

Kurai Mahou is the sorcerer that casts the spell on the samurai. I think that her social responsibility is to help out the empress. Although she's not really the antagonist, she's the one that helps out the empress win.

Yoi Mahou is the good sorcerer that helps Princess Katsumi by giving her magic seashells. Her social responsibility is to be like the guidance and an aide to the Princess when she was trying to find the samurai.

Lastly, the Emperor has the social responsibility of the careless ruler. I say this because, he doesn't like to deal witht he drama of his new wife and step-daughter, so he lets the empress do whatever she wants. That can even include locking up the princess.

These are the social responsibilities in my characters of my story. One can assume the social responsibility of each character just by knowing which role they play and knowing the plot of the story.
