Cast of Characters

In reaction to several complaints that there were too many family members to keep track of, I've decided to incorporate this linear family tree that defines them in relation to the protagonist, and to each other in a more limited way. I will do this for the sequels as well, but each time I will limit myself to the relatives that are mentioned or actually appear in that specific story. As more information becomes available, more specifics will be mentioned, and the cast page will be updated after every new chapter.

Dave's maternal grandmother is not mentioned by name in this story, but is mentioned in chapters 3, 4 and 6 of The Family Secrets. She is Veronica's identical twin sister.
