Supporters

Supporters are characters who ally themselves to a story's main protagonists without actually aiding them in combat scenarios whether on a journey or life. A person who supports a hero in the fight against villains and/or monsters when they are causing mayhem in the heroes' world. They are most often attributed to moral support, most often used to either cheer the heroes on from the sidelines or offer advice for personal situations. Sometimes they help the protagonists in midst of obstacles or hardships.
