Animadow: Pseudonym or Archetype?

/ˈanəmadō/


Animadow is a cross between literary archetypes. The "Anima/Animus" acting respectfully as female/male caregiving characters within storytelling - contrasted by dark trickery and conniving cunning of the "Shadow". The strongest of the three a loving "Anima" will find powers unbeknownst to her fueling the impossible. The "Animus" jealous of her adrenaline is left ever-willing to match it as the "Shadow" finds ways to plot these ambitions against them.


Relatively well known examples of literary archetypes would include Yoda from Star Wars representing the archetype of a "Wise Old Man". Loki from Greek mythology naturally "The Shadow". Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables and Fa Mulan from Mulan are both great representations of the "Anima". Harry Potter is the perfect "Animus" wishing for a little bit of normalcy constantly eager to fend off the dark lord from his loved ones. A few iterations of lightsabers later and Animadow too might deserve the title of wise and old. "Wise Old Animadow" or perhaps the author should simply pen in a talking crow.
