Manuel F. GarciaJoel Valle

archetype is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned, or emulated; a symbol universally recognized by all. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior.

Archetypes are cited as important to both ancient mythology and modern narratives

An Archtypal Character is a character who appears over and over in legends far and wide even in cultures that have shut themselves off from the world.
