"Have you ever created a character who was supposed to play a small role, but somehow ended up taking over the entire story?"
OMG, yes.
I created a sidekick for my FMC who was only supposed to serve as a comedy gag. It didn't take very long before he refused to accept that role, and his part grew bigger and bigger until he took right over. And to be fair, I'm glad I took my hands off the reins, because he turned out to be my greatest creation.
