The sidekick, the servant, the guide, the fool, etc. They are minor characters that bring life to the scene, giving your protagonists and antagonists opportunities to shine. Unfortunately they are often overlooked in favor of the main characters or the environments they are in. 

Your spaceship needs crewmembers, your magical kingdom needs knights and warrior nuns. A world that's populated by stick figures will feel like a barely sketched world.

A good story, whether it be in the form of a comic, a movie, a game or in this case, a novel, should have solid and compelling supporting characters. In today's article link, our author offers a good set of tips to follow when filling in these minor, yet absolutely essential elements to your story.
