The Gianti family |
 |
Ondine Gianti
Age: 21
Snail Dust's main character was once a close representation
of the author, but over the years has evolved into more of her own entity.
Owning talking snails helps with that part. Ondine is sometimes
weird, often confusing, and generally content with her lot as an
easily-amused individual of the geek persuasion. She lives at
home with the rest of the Gianti clan. |
 |
Mrs. Gianti
Age: "late 30s"
The Gianti matriarch and family head. She tends to look tired, but
wouldn't you be, having to work two jobs to keep
that trailer roof over your kids' heads? |
 |
Craig Gianti
Age: 17
Craig is Ondine's younger brother. They mostly get along okay, although she does tend to
wind up giving him death threats rather often. He really, really likes watching TV. Like,
a lot. |
Various Friends |
 |
Percy Train
Age: 20
Percy and Ondine have been friends since they were young. He's become rather busy with
college, but they still occasionally get together to spend time playing video games,
discuss sci-fi entertainment, and do similar geeky things.
|
 |
Cassie Train
Age: 19
Cassie is Percy's little sister, and is friends with Ondine and Andy. She is terribly, terribly cute. And rather evil as well. |
 |
Andromeda Calliope Montgomery-Sloan
Age: 22
Most often known as Andy, though she does have any other number of nicknames.
She and Ondine met in high school, and still hang out,
even though Andy's gone on to a job, and Ondine to college. Andy has a finely-tuned
love of the amusement gained from movies, people, products, &c, that take themselves
too seriously. |
 |
Daniel
Age: 20something.
Daniel and Ondine met at the zoo, amidst a few misunderstandings that were eventually
sorted out. He, like Ondine, was sucked into Eta Mu Pi, and finds them an agreeable
enough sort to stick around with them. |
 |
Joshua Hawk
Age: Won't tell exactly, but somewhere vaguely around 20.
A fellow who's paranoid through and through. No one's even sure if "Joshua
Hawk" is his real name, but it's the one he responds to, so it's the one
they use. Seems to have an... interesting... handle on the English
language. |
 |
Ro
Age: 22
Ro has an oddly cynical sense of humor. She regularly dresses up
like something she's not, not because she wants to impress or fit in, but
because she gets a kick out of watching how much people's perceptions of
her change just because of what she looks like. |
 |
Corey
Age: 22
Ro's boyfriend, Corey is a fellow who enjoys the beach and is into magic. Like, the spell-casting kind, not the card game kind. He appears to be simultaneously capable of soaring insights into the
human character and acts of sheer moronocity. Neat trick, that. |
 |
Mav
Age: 21
Mav was a good friend of Ondine's who started acting a bit weird (especially when
the two of them were joined by any other male individuals), then sort of fell away.
His current location is unknown. |
