The Book of Night With Moon (novel) - Characters

Characters

Rhiow, the cat featured on the cover of this book, is the leader of the team of cat-wizards. In the beginning of the book, she is on her fourth life (out of nine). She lives with two humans, Sue and Mike. She also appears briefly in one of the regular series.

Saash, a tortoiseshell cat, is the technical expert on the gates' hyperstrings. She is in her ninth (and final) life in this book, and she has a problem with a scratchy coat.

Urruah has more energy at his disposal than the rest of the team, and is therefore generally the power source for any big workings on the worldgates. He lives in a dumpster and is interested in the Metropolitan Opera.

Arhu is a new member of the team, discovered after being chewed up by rats. He ends up being a very important part of their mission.

Tom Swale and Carl Romeo are human wizards at the Advisory level in the Manhattan area. They are some of the team's supervisors.

Mike and Sue are the humans that keep and feed Rhiow. They are called "Iaehh" and "Hhuha" by Rhiow, that being the closest that Ailurin, the feline language, can come to the correct pronunciation.

Sehhff'hhihhnei'ithhhssshweihh – to the cat-wizards, Ith for short – is a saurian wizard who also becomes instrumental in the team's mission.

Ehef is the feline Advisory in the area.

Yafh isn't a wizard, but still an oft recurring character. He is an apparently long time friend of Rhiow's.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
