A Miranda character

The individual play I read was As You Like It, and I thought that we should bring in a character like Duke Senior (who is from that play), or like Miranda from The Tempest--someone who appeals to the more idyllic personality traits of audience members (such as sweetness, respect, wisdom, and virtue).  Shakespeare does this a lot; he's got admirable and sometimes tender characters in many plays whom his audience loves for their general goodness:  consider Ophelia (from Hamlet) and Banquo (from Macbeth) as well as those I listed above.  Here are some lines by Duke Senior from As You Like It that illustrate what kind of character I'm talking about:

 

Duke Senior, As You Like It act II scene i  (He's a nobleman who's been exiled from his home and separated from his daughter, banished to the Arden Forest with his band of loyal men.)

Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile,
Hath not old custom made this life more sweet
Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods
More free from peril than the envious court?
Here feel we but the penalty of Adam,
The seasons' difference, as the icy fang
And churlish chiding of the winter's wind,
Which, when it bites and blows upon my body,
Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say
'This is no flattery: these are counsellors
That feelingly persuade me what I am.'
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
I would not change it.

AMIENS
Happy is your grace,
That can translate the stubbornness of fortune
Into so quiet and so sweet a style.

A character like this has wisdom that seems to be a characteristic that comes as a package deal with their virtue, and is usually more of a side character than one of the main actors. They also act as a foil to the main character, so I'm thinking that we could make this character a good friend of Meleager's who would remind him about faith in God (bringing in aspects of Nickson's fable here) & acting in wisdom/patience.
