Cast of Characters

I’ve often asked authors of extended series to include character lists so I could figure out, especially when chapters sometimes take a month or more to come out, who was who. This is presented for that purpose. It’s unlikely you’ll need it for quite a while, so just treat it as a place holder for now.

In order to prevent surprises to future readers, I’ve organized the initial list by group, but additions will all be done chronologically by chapter, so don’t read past the chapter you are currently reading!

Let me know if this particular format is difficult to use, as I’m still open to suggestions on how to improve it.

Family:

Alex Jennings: The story’s protagonist, a 17 year old boy.

Becky Jennings: Alex’s eldest sister, a 22 year old nurse.

Cate Jennings: Alex’s youngest sister and confidant, a 16 year old high school student.
