Villain- Struggles against the hero; seen as morally bad; attempts to stop hero from achieving a goal.

Donor- Gives the hero something special (power/weapon/wisdom etc.); enables hero to complete quest.

Helper- Supports hero (sidekick); appears at critical moments; their limitations help define the hero.

Princess- Can take two forms; the object sought by the hero or the reward.

Dispatcher- Sends hero on the mission (can be combined with another role).
