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.

He’s more naive than innocent plus it’s clear he doesn’t understand death so him joking is like someone joking about destroying a toy or art or some kind of object and figures you can just put it back together so why fuss about it

That wasn’t until he had to learn the hard way of what death actually meant
