"A foil" (or "a foil character") provides contrast with the main character.
Definition: a foil is a secondary character whose qualities—similar or opposite—highlight particular traits of the protagonist.
Examples: Dr. Watson vs. Sherlock Holmes; Mercutio vs. Romeo; Sancho Panza vs. Don Quixote. Purpose: to emphasize the protagonist’s traits, clarify themes, and create dramatic contrast.
