Loved reading that post! Thanks for directing me there!
I thought you would like that one, Alexis, because you'd asked about it before *g*
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Elle,
Sidekicks are important characters as they do all kinds of things, from screwing things up and getting the main character into danger to redeeming themselves by saving the protagonist's life or offering that one piece of advice that saves the day.
They are the ying to the protagonist's yang. Think of Seinfeld and George. They have to have very differing characteristics and play off each other at times, kinda like the straight man and the funny man like Abbot and Costello, George and Gracie, or Laurel and Hardy.

Jina - thanks!
Stephen - my sidekick is there to make the first move, since Dino's too reserved to do it!

I've always loved sidekicks. They've been around ever since there've been heroes. They add dimension and depth! Cool about the guest blogging.
