How Would Your Story Change if One of the Background Characters was the MC?

Stories have their main characters that the story centers around, along with many secondary and background characters. These other characters vary in their involvement with the MC and the main plot, so the story would be expected to change if one of these characters of less importance was the MC.

So how would your story change?

If the plot was the same, then some dialogues, actions and some scenes would be changed. And obviously the backstory, personality and motive too.

My story is kind of the MC in the centre and background as well so to speak.

But interesting take on this. :+1:t3:

It probably would have more action scenes. And the romance would be paced a lot faster.

I feel like it would change the whole feel of the story having a different PoV.

How about for your story/stories, @Jessica.epi?

It would revolve around a different conflict. Right now, the main plot is about Ellie getting into a cooking school without knowing how to cook because she wants to find her dad. If a background character was the main character, it wouldn’t be about that anymore. All the other kids in Ellie’s group know how to cook, so it would probably revolve around their lives and conflicts.
