Not all heroes wear capes. In fact, not all heroes have cleft chins, granite jawlines, rippling pectorals or any of the other standard hero signifiers. Sometimes you wouldn’t be able to tell a hero if they stood up and slapped you in the face – a pretty unheroic thing to do. But when it comes to being generally unheroic, unassuming, and unqualified, these fantasy protagonists fit the description. Here are the 10 most unlikely fantasy book heroes, the least heroic of them all.
Lyra Belacqua – The Golden Compass
(Random House)Lyra Belacqua, protagonist of Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials doesn’t have a lot going for her. When we meet her at the start of The Golden Compass, she only has two skills: lying and throwing rocks at people. Neither belong on a hero’s LinkedIn resume. However, it’s Lyra’s penchant for rule breaking that leads her on the heroic journey she is totally unworthy of – that and being a child of prophecy of course. After coming across the titular compass with the power to communicate with otherworldly forces, Lyra harnesses her chaotic neutral energy and hurls it at the universe itself – aiming to break the rules of reality, and maybe even kill God in the process.
