Some fanfictions may also introduce new characters, perhaps a young protege that Tony takes under his wing. This character could learn from Tony, both his good and bad sides, and could play a crucial role in Tony's journey towards redemption or further descent into the 'Merchant of Death' role.
Well, obviously Tony is the central character. But there could also be other characters like his business partners who might be involved in his 'Merchant of Death' activities, either helping or hindering him. There could also be some love interests for Tony, which could add a romantic sub - plot to the fanfiction.
Carlisle, as the patriarch of the Cullen family, might be a main character. His long - lived experience and moral code could be put to the test in a story about death. He could be the one guiding other characters through the difficult times after a death, or dealing with the implications of a death that challenges his beliefs.
The 'Merchant of Death' concept probably means that Tony is involved in activities related to death in a commercial way. For example, he might be selling things that can cause death, such as weapons or poisons.
I'm not sure who Tony specifically is in this fanfiction without reading it. It could be an original character created by the author, or perhaps a reimagined version of a known character in a particular fictional universe.
Obviously, Harry and Tony Merchant are the main characters. Harry could be a heroic type, with special abilities or skills. Tony Merchant might be a more complex character, perhaps a bit of a rogue but with a good heart.
Ron Weasley could be another main character. He would be by Harry's side, providing support and his own brand of wizarding skills. Sometimes, characters like Dumbledore might also play a significant role. Even though he's dead, his wisdom could be passed on to Harry in some way, guiding him as he navigates his role as the Master of Death.
Another theme is self - discovery. Tony realizes that his identity as a weapons - maker isn't all he wants to be. He starts to explore other aspects of himself, like his ability to be a true hero and protector. In some fanfictions, he discovers new values and beliefs that change his perspective on life. For example, he might start to value human life more than profits from weapons sales. This self - discovery often goes hand in hand with his journey of redemption.
Typically, the main characters from the original work on which the 'in a heartbeat' is based are often the main focus in the fanfiction. However, sometimes new characters can be introduced to add more depth or drama to the story.
Obviously, the Wonderbird itself is a main character. Often, there might be a young wizard or witch who befriends the Wonderbird.
Coco herself is, of course, a main character in most coco fanfiction. She is the center of the story, whether it's about her music career or her family relationships.
Willy Wonka is of course a main character. He is often depicted as an eccentric and brilliant chocolatier with many secrets. The Oompa - Loompas also feature prominently as his helpers in the factory, with their unique songs and personalities.
