The problem is, I am going to be referencing Witch Week extensively, which as far as I know you have not yet read! OH WELL more motivation for you guys to get around to it. :D

Estelle Green: Estelle is a knitting chatterbox who seems like nothing more than a spineless hanger-on of the boarding school's popular crowd. BUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW is that Estelle's mom is in prison for smuggling condemned witches out of the country, and Estelle is determined to secretly keeping watch on the whole school in case someone eventually needs rescuing. Which doesn't stop her from being genuinely sweet and bubbly and chattery, which I love too, but there are such hidden depths under there. <3333

Nan Pilgrim: Another Witch Week girl, Nan is dumpy and plain but has a secret gift (well, aside from the witchcraft): she can describe things amazingly. Sometimes she gets so caught up in describing things that she can't stop, which is kind of a problem at the lunch table when she is going on about how the tinned tomatoes look like skinned mice. >.> At the start, she's sort of the school punching bag, but throughout the story she finds her spine and her voice, and it's a hell of a voice. I love her a lot.

Millie: I love Millie in all stages of life! As a cranky goddess, kind of scared for her life, but also just bored and longing for a life like she reads about in books; as a sensible and far-too-stubborn teenager, mocking Christopher mercilessly and occasionally getting into scrapes she can't quite get out of; as an extremely sensible adult witch and mother, with how powerful she is hidden under a layer of ordinariness that you have to squint to see past. She is amazing at every stage!

For you . . . Samurai Champloo!
