A few words from Pandora about the main characters:
“I enjoy writing about all of my characters and they all talk to me and to each other in my head. They’re funny, annoying, scary and at times infuriating. When I want them to do one thing – they do another; and I’m left scrambling around trying to get them out of it.
Pilgrim is the most complicated of my characters. She endeavours to do the right thing but its sometimes at a personal cost to others. She struggles with what and who she is – two very different beings. I believe each of us have these opposing forces within us. We hope to do our best but invariably fall short more often than we would like; its what makes us human.
Baxter is the character I warm to the most. He is the human face within the world he inhabits with a supernatural creature – Pilgrim. He reacts very much how I would react to the challenging situations he finds himself in. I appreciate his need to ‘live’ as opposed to simply existing.
Hansford is my biggest challenge, as I disagree with him most of the time. I’ve tried several times to curb his behaviour, but he ignores me. There is something liberating when I’m writing him. He stomps all over my preconceived ideas as to what hes meant to be doing and invariably I wind-up deleting chunks of dialogue, he refuses to say. But I love his independence.
Mr. Stenmore is a character I forecast will have a lot of growth in the upcoming books. Hes smart, idiosyncratic and a person who wants to change. He forces himself to re-evaluate what he believes is essential to him to become a free man – even if it means changing himself on an atomic level.
Mr. Phelps sits rocking back-and forth in the corner of my mind in a decrepit room on bare floorboards with peeling and heavily stained wallpaper. When he rises, hes a changed man both in mind and dress. He wears all the exterior accouterments that to the casual observer identify him as a gentleman;. however, hes not the Titans legendary killer for nothing. When I’m writing Phelps, my hands fly across the keyboard in an effort to minimise the time he spends in my head. Just when I see a chink of light in his soul he does something that makes my jaw drop.”
