Select a secondary character who has a strong voice and a unique viewpoint on the world. This character should have their own goals, conflicts, and motivations that drive the narrative forward.

Ensure the narrator has a relevant connection to the main character. This could be a friend, sibling, coworker, or even an adversary. Their perspective should provide insights into the main character's life without overshadowing their story.
