Do it in a couple of sentences, but don't tell us the name of the character or the work they appear in.

Black and poorly treated he still keeps his kind nature and dignity

Think I should add, he can run like the wind when he needs to.

She is the central character of the book, which is written in the first person, but injuries prevent her walking. A very tempestuous time is seen through her eyes.

Tenko

We don't know her name but she is haunted by her predecessor.

Rebecca

Yes; though of course strictly speaking that is the name of the book rather than the character.

A baby born into a PoW camp, escapes when he's old enough with help from the other prisoners. Eventually turns up on relatives (mums, I think) doorstep and tells her who he is!

A young woman who escapes from a criminal gang into the arms of a gentle farmer and his kindly family. She almost dies on her wedding day, but it is actually her assassin who is ducked to his doom....

Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realised it when caught by her charm....

Dracula arrived on the Demeter, and came ashore in the guide of a black dog....
