Given the lack of details, the main characters could be anyone really. They might be individuals who are all at the same level in terms of power and influence within the story. It could be a family, where each member has an equal say, or a group of colleagues working together without a bossy figure. For instance, it could be a story about a bunch of artists collaborating, and no one is trying to dominate the creative process.
There's no way to tell without reading the novel. It could be a group of ordinary people, or perhaps characters with unique skills but without a dominant - submissive relationship among them.
Since we don't have much information about this 'an understated dominance free novel', it could be a novel that explores relationships without the overbearing presence of dominance. It might be set in a world where different values are held in high regard, like empathy and understanding. The characters could be engaged in activities that promote harmony and growth without the need for one to dominate the other. For example, it could be a story about a group of friends on a journey where they all contribute equally and no one is in charge in a dictatorial sense.
One characteristic is the presence of characters who have power or influence but don't show it blatantly. They might be reserved or quiet in their mannerisms.
One could be 'Pride and Prejudice'. Mr. Darcy has an understated dominance. His wealth and status give him a certain power, but he doesn't flaunt it all the time. Instead, it comes out in his reserved behavior and the way he makes decisions regarding his relationship with Elizabeth.
The unique plot might make it special. It could be that the understated dominance element adds a sense of mystery and intrigue. Maybe the characters' relationships are developed in a way that is different from other novels, with the dominance being subtly expressed rather than blatantly shown.
Another example might be 'Jane Eyre'. Rochester has an understated dominance. He is the master of Thornfield Hall and his personality is complex. His power and influence are there, but not always flaunted. He has a certain quiet control over the situation, especially in his relationship with Jane at first, which can be seen as understated dominance.
The main characters are Harry and Charlie. Harry is well - known from the Harry Potter series, having faced Voldemort and many other challenges. Charlie, on the other hand, is also from the Potter universe, known for his work with dragons.
Naruto is very likely to be one of the main characters. Since he is the protagonist of the original series, in a fanfiction about power of dominance, he could be the one to obtain or face this powerful force. Sasuke is also a strong candidate as he is Naruto's rival and has his own pursuit of power. Another possibility is Madara Uchiha. His powerful abilities and his desire for control in the original story make him a prime candidate for a fanfiction dealing with power of dominance.

I'm not sure specifically without reading the novel, but often in a story about breaking free, there could be a young protagonist who feels restricted by their circumstances.
Since I haven't read the 'free to breathe novel', it's difficult to say. It might have a female lead who is fighting against a system that restricts her freedom. Or it could be a group of friends who together strive to reach a state of being free to breathe.
