Cliche' Characters...

So these are a few cliche characters I came up with, although after writing them down, I felt like they were all from movies I've seen rather than books, but I guess that doesn't matter.


Miss. Susie Doozey or Cinderella: the awkward, unpopular teenage girl, who somehow meets the cool popular jock, lets her hair fall down, puts on contacts and a tight dress and voila—a deep passionate romance ensues.

Break it:

Fred the Drunk: Cliché party kid who is never sober. His only actions are drinking, partying and then vomiting when the night is over, and usually making a fool of himself. He’s usually part of the ‘cool kid crowd’ as well.

Break it:

The feminist: She hates men, is strong and independent, has had her heart broken, but attracts some guy based on her incredible intelligence and somehow the guy manages to make her fall in love and they live happily ever after.

Break it:

The rich bitch: She’s popular but no one really likes her, has her own little clique of snobs. She picks on the heroine of the story and in the end gets what she deserves, humiliation.

Break it: She runs into the girl she picked on like ten years later, sweet revenge… Maybe in a job interview, with the girl she picked on as the boss or employer.

Ms. Worry Wart: she is usually a comical character that worries about everything, a mother or a nerd, someone who is constantly questioning whether something is safe or a good idea. Perhaps the goody-two-shoes.

Break it: She gets herself hurt or killed in the most ironic of ways, perhaps by following the rules.

The artist: Enough said. The starving but brilliant artist with so much talent to give to the world. Egoist beyond all belief.

Break it: Decides to actually get a job, instead of stay a starving artist. Perhaps something really embarrassing like being a kids cartoon character in costume at birthday parties. He never gets discovered. No American Dream fulfilled here.
