Edward Lornton
Poor old Edward Lornton, a shy, awkward, bookish little man - slight in all forms, he's barely 5'9 and skinny as a beanstalk. His whole person is overpowered by large desparate eyes which gaze out from under a huge fringe that has dominated his face since his early childhood. He has had a stammer all his life, which despite his best efforts seems to be his one defining feature and that which people are interested most in.
He runs his own north London bookshop with a small party of loyal customers and an annoyingly large percentage of non-perchasing browsers. It seems, though, that everything Edward strives towards fails, and that at every turn he is rained upon or his masculinity belittled.
He pushes himself about his monotonous little life from day to day in his characteristic little blue suit and brown brogues never seemingly making an impact of impression wherever he goes.

Edith
Edith awaits you on the other side of the mirror. Edith is the guide. A funny, odd, mysterious sort of a guy he seems a strange sort of Peter Pan figure, infinitely charming, yet terribly scattered and forgetful. He is a strange creature, with a 2 meter tail and cluttered pointed teeth that seem to make no sense or reason. He seems completely awkward and out of place wherever he goes, spending no longer in any world than his short attention span allows.
He holds with him the timepiece, a pocket watch in appearance - however its many minature faces somehow give Edith information enough to understand each and every world he enters.
To others, however, it seems a random mess of small pointless faces of compasses facing the wrong way, upside down clocks and constalation charts too small to read any sense from.
He seems completely lost, while constantly knowing the way. Even his name "Edith" seems to be the latest in a long string of confusion - it appears that each name he encounters which he favours more than his present becomes his new identity. This constantly leaves you wondering....
.... who is this strange man I'm trusting implicitly?

Name: Viola Bridges
Gender: Female
Race: Mortal
Height: 5’9”
Age: 26
Place of Residence: Westminster, London
Family: Parents, one younger brother
Appearance: Brown hair, an open face and a slender frame. Prefers to wear casual clothes and dress down in old jumpers, jeans and t-shirts.
Personality: Quick, determined, and stubborn whilst arguing a point. Works full time and is trying to get out of her rut in life by studying Philosophy part time on an evening course at the London University. She does not know where she is going in life, and feels she chose the course merely to fill out the spare evenings she has whilst not waitressing, which pays surprisingly well through tips from customers. She is aware however it is not a means she wishes to be stuck in for the rest of her life.
History: Born in Stratford, England; moved down to the south in her teenage years with her parents where she attended college in London. Has lived there since and fills her weekends with exploring old markets and hunting through quaint little bookstores. Her pokey apartment is thus filled with old, useless, and often broken items which she has picked up from small stalls; her walls lined with antiques and rare items from her trips abroad when she was still dependent on her middle-class parents. She also has a small collection of elaborate mirrors, dotted about filling otherwise dull or darker corners.

Warren Rinestone
Height: 6’2”
Age: 28
Family: Far away
Place of Residence: London
If there had to be a picture next to ‘Vanity’ in any encyclopaedia, it would be a portrait of Warren; and if anyone browsed through a telephone directory looking for the stereotype of someone who was born and raised in the eighties, he would find Warren’s number. After a depressing youth filled with Joy Division, make up and oversized epaulets, he decided to take the risk and started writing songs and mediocre poetry in a little flat.
He had always been fascinated by the image of the suffering artist, and was determined to succeed by following his own ideas of aesthetics and art. Struggling for years to make a living, his poetry hasn’t left the obscure book store around the corner; and he has given up on busking the streets with his guitar. Suffering had indeed become a philosophy to him, and it had been a deliberate choice to indulge himself in the sadness and beauty of failure.

Kaylee Fry American mechanic, passionate about cars and engines she's most often seen with her hair pulled back and grease smears across her face. Kaylee is good nature personified, seemingly always happy, always chipper she always lovingly tries to find the good side. It renders her slightly niaeve at times and places her in a vulnerable position - particularly with men.
She's by no means the smartest, the funniest, the most intelligent, least of all the most beautiful or slim, and she is far from feminine - despite her occasional best efforts which usually result in awkwardly brash and bright makeup and an ill fitting, rather dated cocktail dress that would sooner suit an 80s daytime tv star. These flirtations with femininity often result in the feeling of complete failure, rather too many beers and a resolution never to lift her head from an engine again.
But time passes and men don't look at the dowdy, greasy, homely girl. They're not impressed by carborators and fuel lines and 0 to 60 in so-many-seconds - they want it served up like steak, right on a plate. So the dress comes out again for a fresh embarrassment.
There is a certain desparation at times in her cheerfulness, her optimism, and while it is for the most part genuine... deep down she does harbour her own "why me?" factor.
