| Miss Wildford |
Faculty Miss Wildford's another of Ken's originally, but as I "employ" her most often he let me look after her employment contract, so to speak. She started as a part-time instructor, but has now moved up to take Miss Pelton's place. She is a mixed breed; some folk think skunk/cat but more likely rabbit black and white cat. She's not saying. |

| Missy Kahaloa ~ | |
| Molly Procyk @ | Doe Songmark Student from Chicago. 6' to tip of ears. Hmm. She may be taller than that - after all, that would make her about 5 foot 2 with her ears down, and I'm sure she's not that short. Possibly ears aren't included in a standard fur's height? Molly's the tallest of her dorm, Amelia the shortest. |
| Noota Aleutian | Isles Husky 3rd Year (now graduated) |
| Prudence Akroyd ~ | |
| Saffina | The year below Amelia and co; half-breed lioness from Ubangi-Chari (now Upper Volta I believe.) She's a full-scale lioness apart from housecat tabby fur markings, courtesy of her mother, a Missionary's daughter. (Any strongly religious or rampantly Colonialist characters would object to her very existence; Missionary's daughters are NOT meant to marry handsome Native princes and convert to their religion. Absolutely Not Done.) |

| Chastity 'Soppy' Forsythe | (English Spy, departed rapidly ‘For Her Health.’) |

| Jane Ferry | Mixed breed. Mongrel canine, I think. One year behind Amelia, inhabits the school archives. |
| Islanders (Natives): | |
| Countess Rachorska | White Russian Wolf. Although it's not been revealed yet, she's not really a countess but so many were exterminated by the Reds, there are families with only one survivor and nobody to deny they are who they say they are. Some folk have wondered why she didn't go to Vostok, where the Government has pensions and looks after exiled nobility. She's awfully good at sewing; maids get to know Everything about their mistresses after all.. |
| Nuala Rachorska | (daughter, a civet) Has a Hunters License. Well, half civet, half wolf. The "tragic" public story is she was born after her Mother was held captive by China Sea pirates for a year, after escaping the Bolsheviks. Actually there's a handsome civet male somewhere who was a cute cabin-boy at the time and could give a Quite different story |
| Mr. Albert Sapohatan | Ferret (Intelligence) male. Originally in charge of detectives on Spontoon, before an official force was set up. |
| Madame Maxine | A Siamese cat, teaches deportment, fur styling, and "generally anything a girl wants to know." |

| Tomma | |
| Naometa | Lives on Orpington Island, Chicken Spirit Priestess. She's one of the (many) cousins. Spontoonie families are generally large and extended. |
| Obaio & Uleria | cooks at the SponTari Guest House |
| Herr Rassberg | |
| Violobe | One of the girls kidnaped with Molly and saved by Amelia. Native Guide |
| Van Hoogstraaten | family Local upper class criminal family. Mr. Van Hoogstraaten senior is copyright Stu Shiffmann, only mentioned as a one-liner in passing. His son Piet is one of mine. |
| Islanders (Non-Native): | |
| Captain Ryalsov | (owns a 40' ship) |
| Mr. & Mrs. Tanoaho | (run SponTari Guest House) I'd think they're Natives, but I'm not sure. |
| Lars | Lard Nordstrom is actually a Native, of the Scandinavian NE end of the island. He tends to move in "Euro" circles though, and nobody's mentioned him as having family on Spontoon. Possibly an orphan of the Gunboat Wars? He's about the right age. |
| Letitia Fosbury-Smythe | self-proclaimed 'Air Pirate Queen of the South Seas.' If she's been to Spontoon since taking up her post-Songmark career, is an interesting question. And if her aunt, Miss Devinski knows, she's not telling. |
