NAME: Charlie W.
SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom
APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)
PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something
HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?
STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.
WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.
BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

NAME: Vesper Thorne
SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Spy for Little Crow
APPEARANCE: (I like to go into great detail about these things, so be warned). She is very tall, and has LONG (a little bit above waist length) feathery dark red hair with a few lighter highlights, hazel (mostly brown) eyes, usually wears a red short sleeve t-shirt, a black leather jacket, dark jeans, and red Converse shoes. She usually wears some mascara and bright red lipstick, but no other kinds of makeup, except red nail polish. I know this isn't part of her appearance, but she is 17.
PERSONALITY: She is very spunky, loud, sarcastic and outgoing. Vesper LOVES animals, and will not put one in danger or hurt it in any way. That's why she didn't join B.I.G., except for spying on them for Little Crow. She can also be very sly and sneaky. She wouldn't seem like it, but she loves to sing and is often humming a tune to herself. She is not the neatest person, and hates cleaning up. She is also loves to work with technology, and has a huge computer set up at her house. She doesn't trust B.I.G., and thinks that they are up to something sinister...
HOME: Lives in a small apartment in the city in Western Kyngdom.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Her house, on her computer, looking for important info about B.I.G.

But her most vital possesion is her laptop, which has everything she's founf out about B.I.G. on it, along with important documents.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus. (Yes that is the Hogwarts motto: Never tickle a sleeping dragon. That's good advice, you know.)
STRENGTHS: She is actually very phisically strong, and is quite witty and clever. Always has a good comeback. She can also speak Cypher (is Cypher a language or like a device that lets you speak with animals?)
WEAKNESSES: She has a hot temper, and gets angry very easily.
BACKGROUND: Vesper's father left her mother when she was very young, and her mother died of sickness last year. She's had to live on her own ever since, which isn't hard, since she lives in the city. Vesper found Synnove injured while on a hike through the woods, and brought her back to her apartment and nursed her back to health.

Name: Isabelle
Species: Human/Cat mix. Cat species: siamese
JOB/TITLE: Not really sure. I submitted "Never!! Fur and Feathers Forever!!" on the B.I.G. letter thing. So I guess i can't be a spy. but I want to help F.A.F.A. in any way I can!
APPEARANCE: (Cat) Front of face is a dark, almost black, brown. It also covers ears. Same color runs down back, covers average-sized tail, as well as most of each leg. Pieces of that darkness cover belly. The rest of my body is regular to light brown. Fairly big eyes that are a sort of sparkling light blue.
(Human) Very pale skin. Tons of freckles on face. Light blue eyes that look green, gray, or blue depending on what I'm wearing. Orange flecks dance around my pupils. More about my eyes later*. Brown to light brown hair, lightest at the tips. Hair is very long, down to bottom. Straight, average size (fairly small) nose. Pink, thin lips. Thin body overall. A bit short for my age (12 years).
* The color I have described above is my usual color. However, the color changes depending on my mood.
Happy: Light yellow
Sad: Deep, dark blue
Frustrated: Brown
Angry: Fiery, bright red
Enthusiastic: Fiery, bright red (You can tell the difference between angry and enthusiastic based on the other circumstances and my facial expression.)
Jealous: Green
In love: Purple
Stressed: Black
More may come, which I will make up throughout my experience.
PERSONALITY: Kind, gentle, and caring. I am also playful and funny. Can be mysterious if I need to. Also very convincing when pretending something is real. For example, "Oh My Gosh, Lily!! Did you just see that woman standing on the side of the road? She looked exactly like you!"
"Really? Oh My Gosh, that's so creepy!!" replied Lily.
Hee hee!
Of course, I told her I was just pretending afterward. I try to be as honest as possible, but if I am making believe and tell the person it's not really real later, I think it's okay.
HOME: Average-sized house in the cottage style. Cozy and homey, old-fashioned. I live with my parents.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Need more information about possible friends, my position in the community, etc.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: I do not actually know anyone in the kyngdom yet, so maybe I'll wait until I meet someone.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Those who say animals don't have feelings (a.k.a. B.I.G).
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: I can't think of anything right now, and I favor people and animals much higher than objects, but perhaps I'll think of something later.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Would you like it if a Giant came and stepped on you?!!"
(This saying comes in handy when some horrid boys--or even girls--step on a bunch of ants, forcing you to watch because they know you don't like anything being killed, even tiny little ants.)
Truly, I like many quotes and sayings. This is just the one that came to mind.
STRENGTHS: I am intelligent, amiable, and funny. I have the freedom to change from a human to an animal and back again whenever I want.
WEAKNESSES: Have trouble hiding emotions since they are displayed in my eyes. Also, some humans don't trust me because I am a cat as well, and some animals don't trust me because I am a human, as well.
BACKGROUND: My mother is a fairy and my father is a human. My mother has the freedom to change into any creature she pleases, but she could only let my father pick one creature. He chose a hawk, so he could fly, but not as a small bird that may be eaten by another animal. I had the same choice when I was 10 and finally old enough. I chose cat because I love the animal. The cat is very free to jump and move where it wants. It is a very stealthy animal.
I received the letter from B.I.G., just like many others. But my love for animals-- I'm half animal myself!--stopped me. Especially the part about animals not having feelings. What is this treachorous lie? What is the meaning of it?!!

(February 13, 2016 - 5:01 pm)
NAME: Ayne Alabrynthe (Ay-n) (A-la-BRIN-thay). B.I.G knows her as Monyca Shutsource, and FaFA knows her as Thymewild.
SPECIES: Human (homo sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Informer for both B.I.G and FaFA, but is actually working on her own private mission.
APPEARANCE: Very dark brown hair and eyes, tiny, pert nose, small mouth with a giant dimple in the lower left corner. She is petite.
PERSONALITY: She is quite emotional and hates deception and treachery, but she is also amazingly strong-willed and determined, and so she tries to ignore her moral values so she can accomplish her rather titanic and important mission. She is also easily irritated by little things- most of the B.I.G people call her “Dimple”, which drives her crazy.
HOME: Some empty room in B.I.G., Jadewing’s den, or somewhere in between.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: B.I.G.’s Information Center, or The Library of FaFA.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her friends are Mytchel Sanders, a lepidopterist at B.I.G., and Jadewing, a skilled spy and assassin for FaFA. Contrary to common assumption, Jadewing is a jaguar.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: The Time Source. And a rather irritating man named Edward Tarton, the Records Keeper at B.I.G., who always seems awful close to discovering her true identity.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: A bunch of dried thyme, the last clue left to her by her father, and a strand of her mother’s hair.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Sometimes, when something needs saving, someone must lose a part of themselves to regain that something for others.
STRENGTHS: Very determined. She can do what must be done, even when she is frightened or doubting.
WEAKNESSES: She is a decided worrier, and is always doubting herself and other people. This part of her is always doing battle with her determined side, but as each side is equally strong in her she is constantly in turmoil inside.
BACKGROUND: Her mother, Brynhylde, died in an unknown accident when Ayne was only two years old, and she was raised by her father, Ulyssys Alabrynthe, until she was ten.
Her father was a strange personality, very close and reserved. He spent every day of his life after Brynhylde’s death restlessly and pointlessly roaming all of Kyngdom- or so people said. Ayne, therefore, spent that time traveling with him- although her father never told her WHY they were traveling, or WHERE they were going. Every now and again she would scrape up enough courage to ask, but she was always put off. Ayne, however, being very determined, didn’t give up, and her father began leaving her subtle clues wherever they went, as though he were afraid or ashamed to tell her with his own mouth. These clues were so obscure that Ayne learned precious little from them, and for years remained still oblivious to her father’s mission.
Then, on the eve of her tenth birthday, her father was caught up in a strange, otherworldly vortex and warped away. Before he disappeared he pointed to a clump of thyme, growing in the grass. Ayne recognized this as a clue, gathered it up and, through her following sorrow, pondered it in her mind along with the clues she had gathered over the years.
She also went through her father’s knapsack, and though she found no further clues, she DID find a very useful map of Kyngdom, with the route Ulyssys had been traveling marked on it. Ayne decided to take her father’s mysterious quest upon herself, and set off along Ulyssys’ route, paying careful attention to everything around her, especially the landmarks marked on the map. Two years later, she finally knew the truth- her father had been on a mission to find a way to defend Kyngdom against some sort of Time Source, an object that had caused a fracture in the Time Barrier and put the lives of all Kyngdom’s inhabitants in grim peril. Her parents, she guessed, had been the ones who had first activated the Source, the doing of which had drawn in and trapped her mother in the Time Outside the Barrier. That was why her father had been on a mad mission to find some way to deactivate the Source- he knew what it was capable of, and had perhaps cherished some hope of regaining Brynhyld.
Ayne saw that she had to find this source, and she hunted until she found B.I.G. She ran a private, undercover analysis of the place and calculated that the power the scientists were testing on was actually the Time Source.
She knew the scientists would never believe her if she told them her story, and so she set about finding a way to deactivate the Source by herself.
She heard rumors of a secret organization of animals called the FaFA, and upon further investigation of THAT, realized that they had the knowledge needed to destroy the Time Source. She found that B.I.G and FaFA loathed each other, and realized that FaFA would never ever collaborate with B.I.G, and that in order to accomplish her mission, she would have to collect information from both of them without their knowing. So she applied as an informant for B.I.G., and again as a spy for FaFA. FaFA took lots of convincing, but at last she got through after proving that she had information that could be useful to them. On her thirteenth birthday, she had been successfully installed at both B.I.G. and FaFA. She spent the next year setting up correspondents and validating information, and now, at fourteen, she is quite firmly set into both organizations. She gives each party enough information to keep them trustful and grateful to her, but never actually betrays each to the other. She has made two good friends, shy, timid Mytchel and energetic, passionate Jadewing. Together they fuel both sides of her personality. She has collected quite a lot of info by now, but something tells her time is running out, and she is petrified that someone will discover her real name and link Monyca and Thymewild together. She knows that her life, and the lives of all the peoples of Kyngdom, are at stake...
Sorry this is so long- I couldn't help it :)
