Hero Quest Analysis

I also happen to believe that Gemma is a hero because of what she fought for and believed in. She perservered for equality and fought against evil, a trait of a hero. Her friends would also be classified as heroes as well then, for they fought some of the battles that Gemma did as well. Each character also had personal battles they had to fight internally in a world of choas and oppression. Each would be discovered as pariah to normal society. Gemma was magical, she was a feminist, and she did things her way even if that meant consequences. Ann was pudgy, poor, and had low self confidence, all traits a formal lady should acquire. And Felicity had a deep secret that had been billowing inside her for years, she a lesbian love affair with her best friend Pippa, a twist that none of her friends or schoolmates saw coming. She also was sexually abused by her father as a child, an emotional scarring that people rarely knew about. Together, they bonded together to form a new social norm, a pact where they could be themselves and not care what others thought. That in itself also made them heroes, an inspiration for other "weird" people to be satisfied with their images.
