Trickster
A Trickster is a character found in many cultures' myths, folklore, and literature, known for their cleverness, deceit, and playful nature. Often embodying contradictions, Tricksters can be both creator and destroyer, wise and foolish. They challenge social norms, provoke thought, and reveal deeper truths through their antics. Examples include figures like Loki from Norse mythology and Anansi the spider from African folklore. Tricksters serve as a vehicle for humor and wisdom, helping people to confront complexities in life by breaking down established rules and encouraging adaptability and innovation.
