For more detail. n a third person narrative, you have the narrator and the viewpoint character. The narrator isn’t a character in the novel – they simply tell the story, sometimes from on high and sometimes through the eyes and mind of the viewpoint character.

When the narrator tells the story from on high, their voice is neutral and non-opinionated. When they slip into the skin of the viewpoint character, their language begins to approximate the character’s own voice.
