You're looking at "uniqueness" the wrong way, I think. Look, for example, at _The Lord of the Rings_: Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin are all hobbits. They come from the same place, they share the same kind of views, they're all heterosexual white men, three of them are the same social class. This doesn't prevent each of them from having his unique personality, his unique voice. If a character were to say > Begging your pardon, he's no right to talk to you so You'd recognise the speaker as Sam. No other character in the LotR would use that turn of phrase. If someone > felt curiously attracted by the well and > crept to the edge and peered over You'd know those actions to be those of Pippin. Unrestrained curiosity and impulsiveness are his traits. What makes a character unique is not their skin colour and sexual orientation, but their personality, their quirks, the way they speak, the kind of things you can expect them to do.
