Characters
There were a few main characters in the story who made it into Banjo-Kazooie, excluding Edison. The characters of Dream did include Banjo the bear himself, who was a secondary character in the game before Rare removed Edison and replaced Banjo as the main character. Captain Blackeye was removed when Rare redeveloped Dream into Banjo-Kazooie, although Blackeye himself makes an appearance in Banjo-Tooie.
There were also a few outlining minor characters in the game. Edison's girlfriend Madeleine was a character specified by Grant Kirkhope. Other characters specified by Kirkhope are Bully, Big Belly and Cockeye, for which he composed musical themes. An unnamed rabbit was later changed to the main character when Edison was removed. Tooty eventually appeared in Banjo-Kazooie, and an unspecified dog was a secondary character. Gruntilda was initially a giant in the game and later changed into the main antagonist of Banjo-Kazooie, and Tiptup was going to be another secondary character. Kazooie was not to be featured as a main character in Dream. She was going to have an appearance as a baby bird found by a girl named Ella, who was the protagonists' little sister.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And that’s basically a conservative view of life.”
—Jane Smiley (b. 1949)
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
