Fight! Ahem, ok, this is a pretty intensely involved round. I am to distinguish the main characters of the book and create a one-page sort of bio for each of them. I am compiling a dossier of main characters, if you will. So, first comes identifying the main characters from the rest of the “chaff.” …
