The Price of Magic is just a couple of weeks away, so it’s time to start looking at the many characters in the book. Most have appeared in previous books. I’m not going to tell you what happens to them in The Price of Magic, but if you haven’t read the earlier Senta books, Spoiler Alert.

The Stephenson family lives nearest to the Dechantagnes and Staffs.  They are also probably closest to them in status, being old money.  Claude and Julian Stephenson have made several brief appearances in Book 2: The Dark and Forbidding Land and Book 3: The Drache Girl.  They are mentioned a few other times, being the closest friends of Augie Dechantagne.  Their older brother Tiber makes his first appearance in The Price of Magic, and he plays a fairly important role in several chapters.

Didrika and Ernst Goose are Senta’s cousins.  We first saw them in Book 0: Brechalon and in Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur as babies.  In The Price of Magic we get to meet them as young women.  They are, in fact, two of the most popular young women in Birmisia.

Geert is Senta’s cousin.  We first meet him in Book 0: Brechalon, where he is selling apples to earn money for the family.  We see him again in Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur, but they are separated when Granny, their guardian, dies.  Geert shows up again in Book 5: The Two Dragons, when he and his brother arrive in Birmisia to start a printing business.  At last, Senta has nearby family.

Honor McCoort, nee Hertling, is an important citizen of Port Dechantagne since its founding.  We find her in Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur, a pillar of the community and city council member.  She is present in Book 2: The Dark and Forbidding Land, Book 3: The Drache Girl, and Book 4: The Young Sorceress, as she raises her two siblings, Senta’s friends Hero and Hertzal.  She meets young Geert in Book 5: The Two Dragons, where she plays a big part in Yuah’s story, but suffers a horrible accident.  We learn in Book 6: The Sorceress and her Lovers that the two have married, and we see them again in The Price of Magic.

Bernice is Senta’s cousin, the oldest of the bunch.  We see her briefly in Book 0: Brechalon, and Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur, where we learn that she is marrying Tait Vishmornan, after Granny’s death.  He was a supervisor at the shirtwaist factory where she worked, and they adopted Ernst and Didrika, two other cousins, but had no room apparently for Senta.

In Book 6: The Sorceress and her Lovers, we learn second hand that the couple and their children have relocated to Birmisia, but we don’t actually see them.  But in The Price of Magic, we at last see Bertice again, and her husband for the first time.

Gyula Kearn first appeared in Book 1: The Voyage of the Minotaur.  He was a cook at Cafe Carlo, who made a sandwich for Senta.  He arrived in Port Dechantagne in Book 5: The Two Dragons to become a cook for Alwijn Finkler, having survived the torpedoing of his ship by Freedonians.

Melis is Gyula’s new bride, a MIrsannan girl.  Like most Mirsannans, she has brown skin, black hair, and brown eyes.  Also like most Mirsannan women, she is prone to wearing scandalous (by Brech standards) clothing and a gold ring in her pierced nose.
