Role added by connieblackwood on August 18, 2022
Character fridging is the use of a secondary or tertiary character as a plot device to motivate a primary character by cause of brutally killing, maiming, or otherwise harming said secondary/tertiary character. Usually done by an antagonist, but not always. In other words, dealing serious harm to a background/secondary character as a plot device to drive a protagonist forward in their own story."This character was killed/traumatized" does NOT always apply to this; this MAJOR character was killed/traumatized/etc for NO plot reason other than to motivate the hero. Does not include "Death by Origin Story."
