While I was reading through Senta and the Steel Dragon this summer in order to create the encyclopedia, I also created a character list.  This list is fairly complete– it includes pretty much every character with a name.  I’ve listed which books they appear in, and ranked their importance– somewhat arbitrarily, I admit.  Characters are mentioned, appear, have a minor role, or a major role.

Some characters are only mentioned, and yet have an important part to play in the setting– like Kafira or Kazia Garstone.  Other characters appear often, but don’t really play a part in the plot– like Mr. Parnorsham, who runs the general store.

Some characters are important to a particular book, but not the series overall.  So watch this space tomorrow for the character list– it’s pretty long, as you will see.
