Take "100 Mountains~Quiz 2."
A FOIL CHARACTER may be an enemy or a friend. It is a character that reflects (like
shiny foil) the attributes of another character. One character is better understood through the contrast with another.
*The foil
character’s characteristics and personality serve as a contrast to the
main character.
*The name comes from the medieval practice of placing a
metal foil around a gemstone to make it shine brighter. *Foils
are a great way to develop the protagonist’s characterization without telling the reader directly.
*Foils
often have conflicting personalities and dissimilar physical features. The foil can share
similarities in the given areas or have completely different
circumstances in life.
