My Hero: Naco! =)

Harry Potter is not the average hero. He is scrawny and humble. He fits the perfect description of an anti-hero. I like how he does not fit into the typical hero category. If I created an anti-hero, the story would be something really strange like this:
  • Anti-hero: Naco, a scrawny little terrier dog who lives with two bigger and stronger dogs. He is less than a foot tall with black fur, white feet, and tan markings on his face. Also, Naco has a short, stubbly tail, rather than a long tail like the other dogs. His teeth are smaller than the other dogs' and his bark is more high-pitched. He is a "mama's boy."
  • Master: Chusma, a hairy purple troll that visits him at night when everyone is sleeping and tells Naco how to be a more manly dog. This troll stands about three inches tall and hops like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.
  • Villain: a robber that comes to break into the house
  • Supporting Characters: Loco and Gorda (the two big dogs), Charlina (Naco's owner), Lee (Charlina's sister), Mommy, and Daddy
  • Setting: A house in North Carolina that has too many pets

  1. I like the anti-hero's name, Naco. LOL all your character's name are spanish, which is cool. What inspired you to name your characters? :)

  2. That's pretty cool. I never thought of the aspect of rather an animal's view of being a hero, or in this case anti-hero, and only staying in the human aspect. Good job. (:

  3. Well "naco" is a name meaning kinda like tacky/ silly, and "chusma" is like a trouble-maker, which is how I picture trolls. "Loco" means crazy, which describes one of our dogs, and "gorda" means fat, which describes the other dog. Hahaha =)
