Despises girly stuff like nail varnish and stupid tight clothes. Into the Skater look, but not the expensive labels. Organised, likes to be in control of what is happening to her.

David

Star sign Virgo. Best subjects Art, Maths. Worst, Chemistry, French. Hobbies, football, art. Doesn't really support a soccer team, but still supports the Houston Thunderbears (American Football).

Mr Flowerdew

No starsign -- he was here before the stars. Many past lives. Possessed of infinite patience. Very slow to get angry, but when he does... Has had time to amass lots of hobbies, including cookery, wine, art, ornithology, film. Learned to make pizza in Naples when he was there in the late 1800s. Favourite topping - anchovy and mushroom.

Erda

One of a race of almost mythical and enormously powerful beings -- The Stardreamers -- who drift among the currents of space for eternity, unless they are called down to a world by those with enough power. Have no physical form until they reach the world and absorb knowledge of it. Erda is the spirit of the Earth.

Morgan

Raised and lived all his life in one of the villages in the Wildwood. Very close to his younger brother Thomas, as his mother and stepfather are dead. Good at hunting and tracking. A solitary man, for the most part, emotionally guarded. Likes being on his own, hunting, the wood, beer. Has a terrible singing voice.
