Some characters might start as meek slaves but develop into strong - willed individuals. For example, a dark elf slave could initially be submissive due to fear but gradually gain confidence as they face different situations and make new friends.
The development could also be in terms of their magical abilities. A dark elf slave might start with basic skills but through training or some magical encounter, they develop more advanced and unique magical powers, which in turn changes their role in the story.
The relationships between characters also play a huge role in development. For instance, if an elf inherits a position of power, the wizards around them may have to re - evaluate their relationships. Some might become jealous or try to undermine the elf, while others might support and learn from them. These complex relationship dynamics contribute to the overall character development in the fanfiction.
One interesting plot could be a dark elf slave who discovers hidden magic within themselves that is unique to their kind. This newfound power might help them in their struggle against the unjust treatment they receive in the wizarding world.
Well, Harry would likely develop a more strategic mindset. Instead of just reacting to the Dark Lord's attacks, he'd be planning ahead. The Dark Lord himself would be more than just a power - hungry villain. His intelligence might make him more of a philosopher - king type in the fanfiction. He could have complex motives for his actions, not just the typical 'rule the wizarding world' goal. Hermione, for example, might become more of a political ally to Harry, using her vast knowledge to help him navigate the complex world of dark and light magic politics.
Often, they start as underdogs. They are constantly put down because of their 'mudblood' status. But as the story progresses, they learn to be confident. They might study magic harder than others to prove themselves, like Hermione in the original series. And gradually, they gain respect from their peers.
In many of these fanfictions, the characters develop in response to the unique situations created by the god - like Harry. Let's say Ginny. She may have been just a love interest in the original series, but in the harem fanfiction, she might become a powerful ally in Harry's journey with his god - like powers. The characters also develop through facing challenges together. Maybe they have to fight against a new dark wizard who is after Harry's god - like powers. During these battles, they learn more about themselves and each other, and their relationships deepen. They might also develop new magical abilities or skills as a result of being part of Harry's world with his special powers.
Harry's character might also evolve differently. He could be more in tune with his emotions regarding Cho. In some fanfictions, he might open up to her about his fears and insecurities related to the prophecy and fighting Voldemort much earlier than in the original story.
Harry might develop a more refined side to his personality as he spends time with Daphne, who comes from a different social background. Daphne, on the other hand, could become more open - minded and adventurous, influenced by Harry's experiences. For example, Harry might introduce Daphne to the Muggle world, which broadens her horizons.
Their relationship might start slowly. At first, they could be curious about each other's worlds. Harry would be intrigued by the elf princess's connection to nature and her unique magic. The elf princess would be interested in Harry's courage and his role in the wizarding world. As they spend more time together, they start to fall in love. They might exchange gifts that are significant in their respective cultures, like Harry giving the elf princess a magical artifact from Hogwarts, and she gives him an enchanted item from her elf kingdom.
Dark gifts can isolate characters. If a character has a dark gift like being able to see the future of dark events, others might be afraid of them or think they are cursed. For example, they could be shunned by their peers at Hogwarts.
For Harry, if he goes dark, he might lose his sense of compassion. He could become more calculating and power - hungry. Tonks, on the other hand, might become more cynical. Her usually cheerful self could be replaced with a more guarded and suspicious personality as she deals with dark Harry.
