The reason why writers still use Character archetypes is because they have been working since ancient times and still work.
think about it, you have probably heard of these character descriptions in every great book/story/movie.
Shapeshifter- the character that can change turn into something (AKA the werewolf and that pirate from the pirates of a Caribbean) or just go from good to evil or evil to good.
The Hero- no explanation needed
the trickster-A character for comic relief and to cause mischief
The guardians threshold- basically henchmen and stop the hero from moving on there journey
the Herald- the person/object that gets the hero to go on a journey
the mentor- the person that teaches the hero about the world. Also trains the hero
the shadow- the main villain that the hero has to defeat.

A cold, depressing, long period of time where people are upset and broke from the cost of happiness; runny noses, cheeks rosy and never feeling dressed warm enough: Is it really the most wonderful time of the year? In my eyes, it is. Winter to me; is something completely different.

Lastly, I feel a real closeness in the wintertime. I always have such a secure, safe, warm feeling because of my family. Every year we have our many traditions. The second week of December we go on a sleigh ride, debate for hours on our perfect tree and I usually saw it down, with assistance from my dad of course. We then drink some hot chocolate. Now, it’s decorating day. The day we get out the ornaments. Mom puts the garland on and decorates the house, I put the tinsel on with my brother; Matt, Dad puts on the lights; then we all pick our favourite ornaments and start the adventure.
