Ah, yes. The characters—the person/people in your book.
Did you know that there are cliché characters too?
You didn't? Well, lemme' go ahead and give y'all the top ten overrated, overused, and needs-to-stop-being-used ass kid characters.OVERUSED
URBAN FICTION
CHARACTERS
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃MRS. "MY-SHIT-SMELL-LIKE-LOVE-SPELL-AND-I'M A GODDESS"
The baddest thing to ever hit the streets, (at least in her head) usually spoiled, (by her kingpin father) feels as if everybody owes or is obligated to do whatever she says, and feels she can do no wrong.
selfish, heartless, conceited, rude, obnoxious, extremely ignorant, and very deceitful.MRS. "MAKE A PEEP, I MIGHT GET KNOCKED TO SLEEP"
This girl is a walking corpse. Mute, minds her own business, and yet everybody and they momma harps on her ass. And Lord knows you wanna' jump through the book and kick not only everybody who fucks with her ass, but her quiet ass too.
timid, shy, a pushover, reclusive, annoyingly optimistic, and very low self-esteem.Keynote: It's nothing wrong with having a "weak" character, it's good to show their progression of strength, but the ones I read about never develop out of their weak shell, they stay this way the "whole" book and the only time they progress is during sex.
MS. "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS"
Main female character is straight up independent; she makes her own money, pays all her bills, buys herself all the good flashy shit, drives her expensive ass Benz on the daily, but is bougie, hunty—BOO-G! She's drop dead gorgeous, and every nigga and they daddy want her. Her hood friends know she's bougie, niggas around the way knows she's bougie, and she flaunts on the fact that she's stuck-up.
obnoxious, stubborn, head-strong, sophisticated, bourgeoisie, and inferior-attitude.MRS. "I'M THE LOUD ASS, EXTRA ASS BEST FRIEND THAT ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY AND FOR SOME REASON NOBODY KNOCKED ME OUT YET"
Just like the name introduction, this character is usually the main character's best friend and always has something to say. Her personality is always excused because "that's just how she is" and their friendship has been existent since they were in diapers.
outspoken, brash, feisty, blunt, aggressive, animated, fearless, and extra.MRS. "IF YOU HAVE A DICK, I'M HOPPING ON IT!"
A slurp-a-nigga, fuck-a-nigga, get pregnant from numerous amounts of niggas, fuck her friends' niggas, fuck her niggas' friends, fuck her momma's boyfriend ass hoe.
promiscuous, flirty, extra, blunt, sneaky, deceitful, and selfish.MR. "PUNK BITCH HEIFER"
A lame ass, "you taking a shower without me?", main character used to go out with him but had an sudden epiphany and canceled that shit, makes it his priority to be fucking crazy, where the fuck did you come from and why the fuck you keep coming back ass, fuck boy.
delusional, extremely corny, conceited, manipulative, crazed.MRS. "BITCH GO FIND YOUR MIND! WHO RAISED YOU?!"
A crazy ass girl, main character used to go out with her but had an sudden epiphany and canceled that shit, makes it her priority to be fucking crazy, where the fuck did you come from and why the fuck you keep coming back ass, bum ass hoe.
delusional, extremely corny, conceited, manipulative, crazed.Keynote: I apologize for going the fuck off, but I hate these characters. They are usually the exes of the main characters and they are used strictly for conflict which is tacky as shit.
MR. "#FEMALESDID911"
A straight up Bompton Balifornia, don't-never-smile-ass nigga that has been on an anti-female kick, and plans on spending the rest of his life hating females because of his past (female family member hurt him/cheated on by ex).
prejudice, annoyingly cynical, anti-social, hot-tempered.MR. "SO BECAUSE I LIKE THE SAME SEX I AUTOMATICALLY HAVE TO ACT LIKE A FEMALE"
He's the gay best friend of the main female character, and is always portrayed as a flamboyant, drama queen.
conceited, extra, flamboyant, messy, blunt, bold.Keynote: There is nothing wrong with having a character like this since there are gay men and transgender women who have this personality, just know that all gay men or transgender women have different personalities and aren't categorized under just one damn personality.
MR. "I'M THE FUNNY ASS BEST FRIEND THAT CRACKS A JOKE EVERY 0.0000000013th OF A SECOND"
The best friend of the male main character, and as said in the name introduction, he's funny. He's always cracking jokes or saying hilarious and ridiculous comments.
obnoxious, hilarious, immature, usually extremely ignorant, a clown.MR. "I'MMA' FUCK YOU UP JUST CAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT"
A "he woke up out the bed ready to smash a nigga head in", he's got an anger issues therapist appointment at three o'clock, his daddy be jacking his shit up at home so he come to school and do it on everybody else ass bully.
lack of empathy for anything or anyone, narcissistic, pretentious, intimidating.Now, don't get me or what I'm writing confused! These personalities are very much real, and you as well as me have seen or see these type of personalities on the daily. What I'm getting at is these characteristics are seen too much in urban fiction, to the point of where it's getting boring and annoying.
I myself am tired of Angel thinking her shit don't stink, I'm tired of Kianna being stepped all over by everybody in school, I'm tired of Lashay being so damn successful she gotta' act on top of the world, I'm tired of Alize getting ready to boot up in the mall every time somebody look at her, I'm tired of Janay fucking niggas in the school's bathroom, I'm tired of sneaky ass Tre tryna' slide any bitch his number, I'm tired of Rashad coming at every female because ONE fucked him over and I'm tired of females doing the same to males when one nigga fucks them over, I'm tired of TJ being extra and all over the place with his sexuality, and I'm tired of Jamal beating on niggas on the hallway and getting away with that shit.
Yes, it's people like this, I get it, but let's leave these mothafuckas out our books, and come up with new personalities that we haven't read about but we know or want to know about.
