ARCHETYPE EXAMPLES LIST
Complete character archetypes list
Another important thing to keep in mind is how the archetypical characters on this list interact with one another. We’ve divided this into categories:
- Allies
- Enemies
Now, this doesn’t mean that you can’t have incompatible archetypes on the same team or vice versa, because that will often lead to logical conflict. While this is great for storytelling, certain personality types have a much easier time connecting with others.
Some will have more harmonious interactions while others will have more chaotic interactions.
Like in this scene from The Avengers.

They all share anger at the moment, but each of them show it in their own way. Don’t shy away from these interactions in your stories.
CHARACTER ARCHETYPES LIST
1. The Leader
Our first character archetype is The Leader.
Commonly, this character archetype is forceful, a person of action. They’re confident, motivated, and brave.
Which is beneficial for staying active and building story momentum but they can often be arrogant and domineering. This is great for generating a lot of natural conflict.
Here’s a video breaking down how to create a dynamic Leader in your story:
Archetypal Characters — The Leader • Subscribe on YouTube
The Leader — Allies
- The Warrior
- The Caregiver
Leaders want to be surrounded by team players, and more often than not the team players are those who care about rules and standards.
That normally translates into strong, reliable relationships with both the strong will of a warrior, and the responsible approach of the caregiver.
The Leader — Enemies
- The Rebel
- The Wildcard
The leader has a plan, and wants to stick to that plan.
Naturally, anyone who seems to throw caution to the wind or rely heavily on improvisation will get under the skin of any leader.
A true leader knows that they are responsible for more than their own skin, so anyone who is a cavalier will inevitably gum up the works.
The Leader — Common Professions
- King/Queen
- President
- CEO
- Quarterback
- General
The Leader Archetype Examples
- Gandalf — Lord of the Rings
- Selina Meyer — Veep
- Jack Aubrey — Master & Commander
#1 – Character Archetype: The Leader
The leader is a well-known and widely used character archetype for a number of reasons.
Firstly, this archetype is always active, meaning they don’t allow things to happen to them but rather, they move the plot forward through decisions and their own actions.
You’ll often find that main characters often possess the qualities of a leader, which makes for an alluring book.
Qualities of a The Leader character archetype:
- Active and not a passive character
- Makes decisions for other characters
- Leads the “charge” in almost all scenarios
- Is the go-to character for advice
- Can grow into the leadership role if they’re not there right away
- They are typically a key-player in the plot and overall story
Character Archetype Examples: The Leader
For more clarity, here are some recognizable examples of this character archetype where you can easily identify these traits.
Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling – Throughout the series, Rowling paint Harry as a leader in several ways. We first see him as less than a leader, living under the stairs but as the story progresses, his leadership shines in several ways. Firstly, he decides to forgo friendship with Draco Malfoy because, well, he doesn’t believe him to be a good person. This sets the stage for even more leadership characteristics as he stands up to Snape, and ultimately takes on Voldemort in the end. His leadership continues to grow as he leads his friends and classmates through difficult times in the series.
Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins – The first act of leadership we see from Katniss is the very beginning of the story. She is hunting for her family…so they can eat. It’s a very basic form of leadership that’s necessary due to her mom’s state after her father passes away. We continue to see her leadership flourish as she volunteers as tribute, sets a precedent of distaste for the games, and ultimately saves both her own and Peeta’s life by the end of the first book.
Tobias Kaya in The Savior’s Champion by Jenna Moreci – Tobias begins the book as a provider for his family. This leadership role is necessary due to his sister’s disability. As the book progresses and Tobias enters the deadly tournament, allies seem to be his only means of survival. He bands together (somewhat reluctantly) with a few key competitors and soon finds himself as the voice of their group, making decisions out of instinct without even realizing the position he’s in.
