character patterns-archetypes in ZigZag

      I think that THE HERO in this book is Robin. When she goes on a rode trip with her cousins and aunt she started to help them come together as a family. Each one of her cousins had a problem that they needed to deal with and she helped them in different ways. But she also is not perfect either. This rode trip helped Robin change herself in many different ways.  She became a person who is more mature and doesn't look into the past, she keeps on moving forward which rubs off on everyone else.
      I think that  THE MENTOR in this book is the aunt. The aunt has been through this situations before. The reason why the aunt brought Robin on the trip was to help her with her kids. So she kind of guides Robin in different directions to help her with her kids.
       I think that  THE SHADOW in this book is Iris. She gets herself into trouble. She doesn't know when to stop and she doesn't want to listen to anyone at times. Sometimes there is so much tension between her and Robin. She is just always creating problems.
      I think that THE SHAPESHIFTER is also Iris. Towards the middle of the book she begins to change a little bit. But then in a second she goes back to her old ways. Sometimes she would be on Robins side when she says something but then other times she would not agree with her at all. She keep on switching sides. One minute she is on Robins side and then the next minute she hates her guts. She cant make up her mind on what she is doing or anything. She just keeps on changing sides.
