I've broken the characters into Alex's family, his central core of followers. Other than that, everyone is dumped into one large list, without identifying who is from which book. The list shouldn't be much fun to read, but when you can't remember who is who, it should help. Just search for a characters name, and you should see who you're interested in without learning about anyone is a chapter you haven't gotten to yet.<br><br> Let me know if you spot any errors and I'll fix them. I m also open to suggestions on how to improve it.</p> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center><br> <p><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Family:</span></b></p><br> <p class=MsoNormal>Alex Jennings: The story s protagonist, an 18-year-old who's just graduated from high school.<br><br> Becky Jennings: Alex s eldest sister, a 22-year-old graduate student interning in a Genetics lab.<br><br> Cate Jennings: Alex's younger sister, confidant, and lover.
