This applies to all books, actually. Supporting characters are most of the time very useful when you have trouble creating ways to make your story to move forward. Their availability can be an advantage for you to make things possible during the hard parts in your story, especially for the main character/s. However, it is not good to always use your characters as scapegoats. It is true that they are sometimes created intended to support the protagonist but remember, not all the time, not all of them, should be agreeable, easy to get or to deal with whenever they are needed to. Every characters should have their own personalities, their own conflicts to deal with, that not all the time they are just there to help out your protagonist.

Having characters with complicated attitudes are those that makes the story more interesting. So, make sure to have every one of them to possess personalities only they have, let them develop naturally, and use that development as a way for your protagonist. Just don’t overdo it. You still have to balance the possible things and impossible things in what we call reality.
