Sometimes, instead of making characters symbolize things and limiting them to the symbolism,
like "villains" and "heroes", like we talked about,,,,, is uh ._.
Now characters are far more developed, more relatable, I might relate to how the lizard thinks, you might get what Peach thinks about,,,
Instead of making the main character people you "look up to" and shit, they're people you connect to, which is a hell lot better idea.
