a side character. usually a character in a book or movie that is associated with the main characters story/ life. However in this day and age, a side character is known to fit into real life, being an ordinary and basic person, not fitting into the ‘perfect’ role of the so called main characters. this can be in many ways, looks, personality, style, and even looks. the only ‘interesting’ characteristic about them is something that they are know for, being smart or creative or something ben really just being stupid. it’s probably the only thing that makes them a side character rather than an ordinary background character, besides being linked to a main character, for example being their friend or enemy even.

"no shit sherlock, I mean in real life." "real life?" I asked. "Yes, I mean take angelica for example, she's legit the main character, everything about her is perfect, it's like she has fate wrapped around her pinky finger." jess says motioning to angelica, who was on the other sofa, paying no attention to us, Hayden, her boyfriend, snuggled all up with her. "so what are we then?" I ask looking at jess. "I guess we are the side characters." she shrugs taking another bite out of her donut, focusing back onto the show
