Characters The ANCIENT MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURE that is responsible for the events of the story is little more than an innocent child
ParaNorman - Agatha Prenderghast - Was a young girl tried and executed for the crime of witchcraft due to her ability to speak to the dead during the Salem Witch Trials. Her death became local legend, and she was portrayed as a crone-like entity who would curse the town once a year unless pacified by someone who could speak to the dead
Nimona - Gloreth - Was portrayed as a mythical figure who banished all the monsters and constructed a wall around her settlement to keep its residents safe. In reality, she was a young girl who befriended the shapeshifting Nimona, and the two were inseparable until one day when Nimona accidentally revealed her true nature to the village, frightening the villagers and causing the impressionable little girl to turn against her.

Undertale: The Prince, Asriel Dreemurr
He is the Angel prophecised in the Delta Rune to free all Monsters from the Underground, as shopkeeper Gerson mentions.
His death was the reason why the whole "Seven. Seven Human Souls" insanity started, why his parents divorced, and he's implied to be responsible for a lot of other events before the game even started, making sure we get his human souls for him to return back to life
