Cassandra “Cass” Russo
Age: 30
Height: 5’5”
Description: Long, dark hair, average height and build, frequently found in
flip-flops
Cass is a drifter, and she’s never managed to stay in one
place for too long. There’s nowhere she’s ever really found a connection to, so
she’s always looking for the next best thing and wants to avoid getting tied
down. She has the Sight, which means she can see faeries and has the “gift” of
premonitions. Over the course of her life, she’s found that her abilities have
caused her more trouble than they’re worth, so she tries to avoid the
supernatural as much as possible. She likes to live in urban environments
because fae tend to congregate in undeveloped areas with a lot of trees, where
natures runs wild. When she inherits her great-aunt’s house in rural Oregon,
she finds herself dragged back into the magical world against her will. She
wants nothing more than to sell the house quickly and get back to the city—any
city—and yet, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a supernatural mystery
that she may not be able to escape.
Matthew McCarthy
Age: 30
Height: 6’0”
Description: Short, honey-brown hair, tall and muscular, clean-shaven
Matthew recently moved to Riddle after spending several
years living and teaching in Eugene, Oregon. He currently teaches fourth grade
at Riddle Elementary. He originally hails from the small town of Foreston,
Washington, on the north side of the Columbia River. He hails from a long line
of stubborn Irish-Americans and Irish-Canadians, and his grandparents on his
mother’s side live in Saskatchewan. He has two younger sisters, Laney and
Taryn. His family are dog lovers, and he has a floppy-eared red Doberman who’s
afraid of his own shadow. Patient, friendly and laid-back, Matthew seems as
ordinary as they come—but he has a secret of his own that Cass’s premonitions
could never have predicted.
Lily Kowalski
Age: 9
Height: 4’3”
Description: Shoulder-length black hair with bangs, slender and slight, dresses
in a somewhat old-fashioned way (skirts and sweaters, saddle shoes, jumpers)
Lily lives with her somewhat absentee parents next door to
Cass’s property, which she recently inherited from her Aunt Alexandra. Quiet,
shy, and something of an outcast among her peers, Lily spends much of her time
exploring Alexandra’s woods and making friends with the creatures that live in
the trees. She just started fourth grade and is very artistically talented. Her
closest friend in town after Alexandra’s death is the children’s librarian,
Darcy. Something about Lily seems odd to Cass, and she is starting to suspect
that there may be more to the girl than meets the eye.
Green
Age: ?
Height: 6 inches
Description: An odd green fae, species unknown. Green in color, no wings, has a
clump of leaves on its head that could be a hat or could be its hair.
Green is the strangest fae Cass has ever encountered. Unlike
most of the other magical creatures that inhabit the woods, Green is able to
speak English, and takes a greater interest in the goings-on of the humans that
occupy Riddle. Seems to have some kind of connection to Cass’s past, but though
it seems familiar, Cass can’t quite remember where she’s seen this creature
before…
Darcy Hudson
Age: 28
Height: 5’8”
Description: Long, black hair, bangs, freckles, small gap between front teeth
Darcy is the children’s librarian at the Riddle Branch
Library. She organizes special activities for the kids as well as coordinating
Homework Help Hour with the teachers at Riddle Elementary. With a special gift
for educating and a way with kids, Darcy is excited when Cass joins the library
staff, because it means she’s able to spend more time on programming. She has
lived in Riddle all her life and can’t imagine ever living anywhere else.
Cheerful and outgoing, she immediately befriends Cass, and she has a soft spot
for Lily. Darcy lives with her parents, helping her dad care for her disabled
mom. Darcy’s dad is an officer for the Riddle Historical Society, and he also
holds a spot on the board of the Riddle Chamber of Commerce.
