...and I didn't have to retype it) So, here is the thing. Cliches of characters, stereotypes of characters are not a new thing. It isn'... around. But story characters throughout the centuries aren't always seen as cliches. Why is that?

The Evil Other Woman or the Beyotch Cheerleader Girl The Evil Other Woman (E.O.W.) and/or the Beyotch Cheerleader Girl shows up in so many books, both romantic and otherwise, adult and young adult, and even… (ahem) sometimes picture books.
