They weren't extraordinary in terms of privileges or skills, but their presence was crucial in the success of the main character's endeavors.
I was happily able to see Mylene take that role among her close friends, and slowly grow into her own from that. It all started with me using her as the character I'm -learning- how to roleplay with, hence her simplicity, and her flaws. I can easily see her as one of the Suikoden 108 Stars of Destiny, which is my favorite video game series. Specifically the fisher character.
When I was a teenager, I read Robin Hobb's take on her main character in the Farseer Trilogy, and how she'd always been interested in supporting characters since she'd read about Sam in LotR as a child (Fitz was, to her, not the main character in the events of the trilogy, but a supporting character who was doing the narration -- assuming I'm remembering right). It stuck with me. It's become my favorite part to play in rp -- the person who helps push things along, but who isn't necessarily the focus of plot/story. Plus, I'll admit, I get a huge kick out of seeing people roll with things I've helped create the foundation for.
Indeed! <3
