The returning champion is obviously a main character. They are the center of the story's action, driving the plot forward with their comeback.
There could be a mentor figure who helped the champion during their time away and now plays a role in their return. This character might offer wisdom and guidance.
The main characters are often the champions themselves. They are the central figures in the game and so in the fanfic. For example, Link is a very common main character as he is a key part of the Champions Ballad story.
I don't know as I haven't read it. But it could be the champions themselves. Maybe there's a hero - like character who stands out among the rest.
Obviously, the previous Triwizard champions like Cedric Diggory (even though he passed away, there could be some magical way he's brought back), Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum would be the main characters. Harry Potter himself would also be involved as he was an unexpected champion in his time.
In addition to the well - known champions, there could be some new or lesser - known champions. Maybe a champion from a newly discovered region that has unique Pokemon. They would bring in a fresh perspective and different training methods. Also, some retired champions might come back to help the current ones. They could have a wealth of experience and wisdom that the younger champions lack. These characters would all interact, share their stories, and work together towards a common goal in the fanfic.
There could also be a group of adventurers as the main characters. When the dragons return, they might be hired or compelled to go on a quest to find out more about the dragons. This group could consist of different races and classes, like a human warrior, an elven archer, and a dwarven miner. Their different skills and perspectives would make for an interesting dynamic as they face the challenges brought about by the dragons' return.
Maybe there are two main characters, a male and a female champion. The male could be a famous athlete who has won numerous trophies, and the female could be a renowned scientist who has made great breakthroughs. They meet by chance at an event and gradually fall in love. Their different backgrounds and achievements add depth to their relationship as they navigate through their love story.
Since I don't know the exact 'champions graphic novel', it could have characters like a super - strong leader, a smart and agile female character, and a tech - savvy sidekick.
I'm not sure as there's not enough information given. But they could be athletes, coaches, or people related to the field where the championship is taking place.
Another plot could involve the returning champion's relationship with their old friends and allies. Some might have moved on, some might be resentful of their absence, and the champion has to navigate these complex emotions while also dealing with external threats.
One of the most popular characters is often the main protagonist, a determined trainer on their journey to champion status. They are usually relatable, with their own dreams and fears. Another popular character could be the reigning champion, who has an air of mystery and great power.
