Side-Character Syndrome

A stereotype of movies. If a character is not specifically important to the (movie, game, etc.)'s plot, or simply isn't "good enough", that character is doomed to die by the end of the story.
I'm surprised that Daniel didn't die by the end of that movie. He had a severe case of Side-Character Syndrome, after all.

Canada(Character) 

Canada(or Matthew Williams) is a character from Axis Powers: Hetalia.

He is usually known as "the forgotten one", and everyone mistakes him for his "older brother" America(Alfred F. Jones).

Some people don't even notice his presence...at all...

He's also really quiet. When he talks it seems like he's whispering, while his "older brother" America sounds like he's yelling all the time while he's talking.

He's also included a lot in pairings such as FranceXCanada,

AmericaXCanada, CubaXCanada, UkraineXCanada...etc...
Arthur Kirkland(Britain/England/UK): "Hey, America!"

Matthew Williams(Canada): "I'm not America, I'm Canada! Please get it right."

Arthur Kirkland(Britain/England/UK): "Oh, sorry Canada..."

Francis Bonnefoy(France): "It's Canada, duh... Can't you reconise him from his sexy 'air?"

And that's Canada(Character).
