Propp suggested that every narrative has six different character types, these character types are:

1. The Hero- A character that seeks something.

2. The Villain- Someone who opposes the hero’s mission.

3. The Donor- Someone who provides an object with special properties.

4. The Dispatcher- Someone who senses the hero on their mission with a message.

5. The False Hero- Someone who disrupts the hero’s success by making false claims.

6. The Helper- Someone who aids the hero.
