Legend (character types)

In storytelling, a "Legend" character typically refers to a figure whose name and deeds have become legendary, often embodying ideal qualities or extraordinary abilities that inspire admiration. They may be based on historical or mythical figures whose stories have grown over time, transforming into symbols of heroism, wisdom, or cultural identity. Legends serve to convey moral lessons, cultural values, or collective history, often blurring the line between fact and myth to inspire and unify communities through shared stories of remarkable individuals.
