Guide Mentor

Character Role Analysis

The Faun and his Fairies

Like the Faun himself, this role is a little tricky. The Faun is Ofelia's guide in terms of providing exposition and acting as a catalyst. He tells her about her true identity as Princes Moanna and gives her the Book of Crossroads where she'll discover her three tasks. He also gives her the fairies to help guide her through the Pale Man task.

The problem is that the fairies are only partially helpful (they defend against the Pale Man but point to the wrong key hole) and even the Faun himself is purposefully misleading.
