To build motivation for the character gives a backbone to the story and about the Arthur for example if the Arthur got the motivation from seeing a kid take a candy out of a store that motivation for that character would be a bad guy or a heel and or antagonist there for the motivation for a character is very important they reveal it so you can get a bit of a background on the character in more information on the story and the Arthur.
The theme is "Anything is possible; don't let anybody or anything get in your way."
