A kid who is always joking around, having fun, and doing their own thing is an example of which archetype?
A
The Everyman
B
The Outlaw
C
The Artist
D
The Jester
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -‍The Jester archetype is a surprisingly versatile and complex character archetype. For many of us, the word “jester” brings to mind a character like Shakespeare’s fool. This is the servant who’s drunk on the job, drunk on puns, and turning everyone else’s suffering into a joke.

Detailed explanation-2: -A good example of the scapegoat is Simba in The Lion King. His evil Uncle Scar is responsible for King Mufasa’s death and lays the blame on Simba, even though Mufasa was Simba’s mentor. The young prince flees the pride lands before he is aware of the accusations. He didn’t even know he was the scapegoat until late on.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trickster is well-known as the Jester archetype and is a powerful character; with sheer intelligence and brilliance he manipulates and disobeys the “system” and “authority.” The exhibition of his unconventional behavior acts as a facade for his true inner intentions!

Detailed explanation-4: -Typically, any brand that seeks to create something new, from nothing or from something out of date, would fall under the Creator archetype. Brands that are labeled as Creators include Crayola, Sony, Pinterest, and YouTube.
