Which YA Trope Are You?

You're someone with a dark and mysterious past that can only be revealed to someone who sticks by you, even when you're an absolute jerk to them. You're emotionally stunted, you wear dark clothes, and you probably have a bad relationship with your father (if you have parents at all). You still have a few redeeming qualities that'll make your audience swoon, however, so you've got that going for you.

You're just like one of the guys, except you're a woman. You hate anything that's even remotely feminine, like cooking and showing emotions. You're strong and independent for the most part, except when two very similar (but totally different) guys start trying to win your love. Still, you're clearly the epitome of strength, and anyone who thinks otherwise can get punched in the face.

You've spent all your life waiting for one moment - a sixteen-year-old kid to show up on your doorstep in the middle of nowhere and ask for you assistance. You teach the kid everything you know, but you know in the back of your mind that as soon as your purpose is fulfilled, you'll probably die. Your sole purpose in life is to make the protagonist better. No one's got time for supporting characters with arcs.

You're tall, blonde, conventionally pretty, and love making life miserable for the leading female character. You know everyone in the school, and you love making a big deal about it. Most people probably think you're a terrible person, but that's the price you pay for being popular.

Your motto is probably "morals are for losers" and you've only smiled once in your life. Maybe. Somehow you've ended up on the side of good, but you're only in it for your own reasons - revenge, greed, pride, etc. Your loyalties only lie with one person (yourself), and nothing's going to change that. No one has time for a change of heart.

You've never had a bad day in your life! Anything you do, you do it perfectly - even if you've never done it before. Everyone admires you and wants to date you. If they hate you, well, that's just because they're jealous of your coolness. It's definitely not because you're an unrealistic character.

The Prophecy foretold of a hero who would come and take their rightful place as a leader, and surprise - it's you! But you knew that already - you have a distinct appearance, strange abilities, or something else that sets you apart from the everyday man. I mean, you got that magical sword the one time. That has to mean something!

You're an adult in a YA novel, so give yourself a pat on the back for that rarity. Unfortunately, you're not going to do much - maybe offer some empty words to the main character, create group projects to pair the romantic interests together, but other than that, you might as well not be there. And you never think twice when you realize your kid is always out late at night.

No one's sure where you live (in a run down but chic apartment, of course), but you can be found almost exclusively in hipster coffee shops. Your goal in life is to find someone who isn't living to their full potential and push them to do crazy things, like spontaneous road trips and collecting shells on the beach. Once you've accomplished this, you'll disappear, leaving the main character wondering whatever happened to you.

When another character has a problem, you're the one they come to. You bake cookies, fix wounds, and provide a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes you wonder how you suddenly adopted a cast of children, but you're okay with that. After all, caring for them is what you were (literally) made to do.
