Let me see, happy memories. I used to write stories always with the following characters:
Charity Chandler, fun-loving mischievous but overall decent leader of the group
Randal Spinelli, Mr. Hotshot Practical Sensible Superhero
Sidney Walker, the genius lacking in simple common sense
Spencer Freeman, over 400 pounds in grade 11, favorite pastime eating
Sofia Spinelli, Randal's cheap-Italian-ghetto-child-but-trying-to-seem-more-civilized sister
Cora Peterson, the spoiled rotten arrogant rich girl
Stephanie Forger, longing to be free and would rather be a ghetto child than live with her overprotective, stifling family
David Sunfellow, argumentative and claustrophobic
Timmy Baxter, hypochondriac
Reeva Delorme, disaster-happy as a way of coping with health problems like cystic fibrosis
I had a lot of fun with The Guildmaster, getting all these characters together and interacting with each other in a stressful environment!
