Youngest son

The youngest son is a stock character in fairy tales, where he features as the hero. He is usually the third son, but sometimes there are more brothers, and sometimes he has only one; usually, they have no sisters.

In a family of many daughters, the youngest daughter may be an equivalent figure.[1]
