What to Expect
- → Expect a protagonist who resists the weight of their destiny before accepting it
- → The burden of being chosen creates isolation — even among allies
- → Usually involves a reveal that recontextualizes the protagonist's past
- → The found family often forms around the chosen one's mission
- → Subversions work best when the prophecy is real but misinterpreted
