The main characters are the Avengers. Iron Man would be the one coming up with the most extravagant Christmas ideas, like a flying sleigh made out of his latest technology. Captain America would be the moral compass, making sure everyone is in the right spirit. Thor with his godly presence would add an element of grandeur. Hulk could be the unexpected helper, and Black Widow and Hawkeye would be the ones keeping an eye out for any threats during the Christmas celebrations, all of them together making the 'Avengers Christmas Stories' interesting.
Well, in addition to the core Avengers, there might be some supporting characters as well. For example, Jarvis (in the earlier stories) could be there helping Tony Stark with the Christmas preparations at the tower. And maybe Pepper Potts is also involved, adding a touch of normalcy to the Avengers' Christmas. But still, the main focus would be on the Avengers like Thor who could bring some Asgardian magic to the Christmas festivities, or Captain America who might be a bit old - fashioned about how Christmas should be celebrated.
The main characters are surely the Avengers themselves. This includes Iron Man (Tony Stark), Captain America (Steve Rogers), Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. They are the ones who would be at the center of any story in the 'Avengers Christmas Stories' collection, whether they're saving Christmas or just having a holiday celebration together.
The main characters would surely include Loki, who might be the catalyst for the story. Then there's Thor, his brother, who would try to bring Loki into the Christmas spirit. Hulk could also be a main character in a funny way. Imagine Hulk trying to put up Christmas lights and accidentally destroying half of the building. And of course, the core Avengers like Hawkeye, who could be teaching Loki how to shoot arrows at Christmas - themed targets, and Vision, who might explain the deeper meaning of Christmas to Loki using his knowledge of the Mind Stone.
Sometimes, the original Avengers themselves still play important roles in the Next Avengers fanfiction, even if they are more in the background as mentors or guides. Their presence still shapes the story and the development of the younger Next Avengers characters.
The Doctor is obviously one of the main characters. He's the time - traveling hero who gets into all sorts of adventures.
The elves are also main characters. They are the ones who work hard in the North Pole making toys. They are often depicted as small, nimble, and very creative beings in Action Christmas Stories.
The main characters might also include children. They could be the ones who are most excited about Christmas on the prairie. They might be looking forward to getting a small gift, seeing the Christmas decorations, or eating a special treat. Their innocence and joy could be a central part of the stories in 'Prairie Christmas Stories'.
Also, there could be some Christmas - specific characters like Santa Claus or elves if the stories have a more magical take on Christmas. They would interact with Thomas and add to the festive feel of the stories.
In some of the stories, there are also kind-hearted adults. These adults might be a simple baker or a poor fisherman. They show great compassion towards the children or other needy people. For example, an old woman who shares her last piece of bread with a hungry child. They play important roles in spreading the Christmas spirit.
Maybe Santa Claus and his elves are the main characters. They are very common in Christmas stories.
Maybe there's a hard - working shopkeeper. In a Christmas story, this person could be selling all the Christmas goodies and interacting with different customers. There could also be an angel - like figure, which is quite common in Christmas stories, who might be guiding or helping the other characters to experience the true meaning of Christmas.
I don't know the specific main characters as I haven't read it. But they could be children, parents, Santa Claus - typical characters in Christmas stories.
