Tod eines Charakteres in FF?

I agree with Wiloki. In the end, you should let the person die who brings your story forward most. Think about the following things:

• How should the person’s death promote your history? It doesn’t matter if you kill someone just to let someone jump over the feather and the incident is completely forgotten after two chapters.
• Which people can you achieve this goal? For example, if your principal wants to explain death, it makes sense to take someone close to her and not someone she didn’t like.
• What person can’t die at all? For example, who has to play an important role later? Or what death would cause a “damant” character development?

What is completely unimportant is the size of the role before. Taking someone who the readers knew and liked in the best case makes it easier for them to mourn, but in the end it comes mainly to the reaction of your main character. If you manage to transport her grief, you can also let the most unhappy figure die and people will cry.
