- False Hero
Often there is a villain who has done something to a victim. This means that we need a hero, who (often) accompanied by a helper is sent out (by a dispatcher) to fight the villain. The dispatcher or similar donor (such as a father figure) prepares the hero in his ‘quest‘ and gives the herosome magical object.
Isabella is the victim and Jake will be the dispatcher and he tells daisy, then they both become the hero’s.
