Which ones are the lunatics? Which ones are the lycanthropes? Which characters are none of the above? I guess potentially there could be a crazy werewolf in here somewhere, making that character both? I haven't even decided yet myself, but here is a preview of the tentative character list I've created for the novel:
The Benton Sisters (there are 5 Benton sisters, the oldest named after the state of Georgia, and the next 4 named after cities in Georgia):
Georgia - the oldest, very sweet and mild-mannered
Savannah - 2nd oldest, very logical. Savannah is the narrator of the story; the novel will be told in first person from her point of view.
Marietta - next in line, annoys her other sisters by telling them useless facts all the time
Alpharetta - very silly and materialistic. The other Benton sisters call her "Freddie," a nickname she hates.
Augusta - the youngest Benton, who follows Alpharetta in everything and mimics whatever Freddie does.
Mr. & Mrs. Benton - the sisters' unconcerned father and hypochondriac mother
Chandler & Carol-Anne Bingle - teenaged children of the family who moves in next door to the Bentons over spring break. Georgia immediately develops a crush on Chandler.
Darcy Fitz - Chandler's best friend, who stays with him over spring break & visits during the summer. Darcy is very rude and arrogant to Savannah when they first meet.
Jordy Whitcomb - teenaged son of military family who moves in across the street from the Bentons right after school lets out for the summer
Emory Lupin - Savannah's life-long best friend, and a firm believer in the existence of werewolves
Gilbert Scoggins - a cousin of the Benton sisters whom they have never met before, and who proves to be very unlikable when they do meet him.
That was just a quick glance at some of the characters who are about to make an appearance in my NaNoWriMo novel. If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, I am sure you can recognize the counterparts on which they are based!
