Vladimir Propp indicates that there are 7 character types present in the majority of media:
1 - The Hero (also known as the victim/ main character/ winner)
2 - The Villain (fights against the hero)
3 - The Donor (may give the hero a gift which will greatly help him)
4 - The Helper/Sidekick (assists the hero in the quest)
5 - The Heroine (the hero's reward - may get married)
6 - The False Hero (character perceived to be good but isn't)
7 - The Dispatcher (the character which sends the hero on their quest)
