4. Cece: total feminist (the second Nun)
5. Cookie: pothead philosopher (the Cook)
6. Franklin: obscenely rich son of chronic Alp-skiing parents; throws legendary parties and has a maid clean it up after; drives a Boxster; good-looking, though in that artificially tanned, whitened-teeth way; Mouse’s boyfriend (the Franklin)

10. Lupe: smart, pre-law; Reiko’s best friend; recently Marcus’s girlfriend (the Manciple)

12. Marcus: quotes Aristotle at the start of every damn paper he writes; the kind of person who sophomore year tells you a tomato is a fruit, and when you argue over it he wants to use the Socratic method to determine fruitness when you’d rather just say tomatoes don’t belong in fruit salad and thus can’t be called fruits; inexplicably Lupe’s boyfriend; going to Harvard (the Clerk)
13. Mari: really good writer, but kind of a rival; editor for our lit journal, The Southwarks; hangs out with Sophie (the Nun’s Priest)

15. Pard: pale, thin-haired, high-voiced, tiny guy with extreme fashion sense; used to be best friends with Jeff until that went up in flames; it’s complicated (the Pardoner)
16. Parson: hard-core Christian who actually practices what he preaches; handsome, perfect, and moral, yet it’s impossible to hate him (the Parson)
17. Reeve: friendless little tattletale; bundle of nerves; so skinny he doesn’t have calves (the Reeve)
18. Reiko: smart, pre-med; really pretty; alarmingly ready to throw herself at Frye; Jeff’s ex (the Physician)
19. Rooster: red-headed linebacker; skull like a battering ram; body like a mountain; language like a gutter; a slapstick, emphatic sort of person (the Miller)
