Twenty-four students, out of more than two hundred and forty students total, have a part in the first book in the series.
Their heritage is diverse as our country is: European, Ugandan, Japanese, Native American, and Arabic, to name a few.
There is even a character named Potato Craig. He is a rather irritating child with no gumption.
There are also currently fourteen teachers. One is a Black Dragon man, with scales, wings, smoking nostrils and glowing eyes. I believe I will work on his illustration next, but no promises yet. We also have a rare Izzet, a Bengali Fairy, a dwarf, an Apache Mountain Spirit, a water Spirit, a Sylph, a Wood Elf, and several mixes of Pixie, fairies and elves. It can get mighty crowded in that tree.
