I'll make this short - I'm plotting a novel series and I like the idea of my character being special in some way that the villain wants to capture or kill her. But there are so many cliches associated with this. I want to have a way for them to be special that's not cliche. Any ideas?
Some of the cliches I've noticed are: have something that the villain wants (Frodo in LotR), were born with special powers but grew up normally (Luke Skywalker in Star Wars), and the parents being the reason they're special in some way (Harry Potter in, well, Harry Potter).
No - guys - I'm looking for ways to make the character valuable to the villain, as in what you'd find in fantasy or sci-fi. That's why I LISTED fantasy and sci-fi stories. Not memorable. Special.
