Characters who contrast with each other are often referred to as foils. Foils are used in literature to highlight specific traits or qualities in a character by juxtaposing them with another character who possesses contrasting traits. This technique helps to emphasize certain characteristics and deepen the reader's understanding of the characters involved.
Highlights him or her by contrast

Odysseus was the main character of the Odyssey.
There were Cyclops, Odysseus, Odysseus's men, Poseidon and there are so many characters.
One example of foils is Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West in the movie "The Wizard of Oz.
There are various characters in literature, film, and media, each with distinct traits and roles. Some common character types include protagonists (main characters), antagonists (opposing characters), supporting characters, and foils (characters who contrast with the protagonist). Additionally, there are archetypical characters like the hero, the villain, the mentor, the sidekick, and the love interest that appear in many stories.
Foils are two characters who are the opposite of each other and emphasize each others' personality through the contrast of their characters. Ron is a comical, rather lazy (when it comes to homework), full-blooded wizard. He isn't the brightest in his classes, but he knows a lot about the wizarding world in general because he grew up in it. He also provides much of the comedy in the Harry Potter noovels. Hermione is a sensible, overachieving, muggle-born witch. She is amazingly intelligent and hardworking, but she was raised by muggles and does not know as much about the wizarding world as the weasleys do. She brings logic and answers to the books when Harry and Ron are in doubt. In this way, Harry's two best friends are foils of each other.
