Here is a description of three of the main characters from my book!
Main Characters
Gordy Komori
Gordy is a fallen fire sorcerer turned ghost. A year earlier he was betrayed and poisoned by his police partner, who later became the sheriff. The traitor also managed to frame his companion, a Bat, named Eeltog. At the present night, the Bat is due for execution at dawn. Gordy’s ghost form stays on this earth, waiting to settle unfinished business before he can reunite with his late parents. Gordy was born in Japan to ordinary parents without magic, but at the age of two, he showed signs of being a fire sorcerer. The Salem Society of Sorcery invited him and his family to live in Salem for protection. Gordy eventually got control of his fire powers, but could not use his magic to save his parents from a fire. After the loss of his parents, Gordy became a police officer in order to serve others and create peaceful justice. His police partner, Sam, on the other hand, wanted power, which led to the end of Gordy’s life. As a ghost, Gordy regrets that he no longer has influence on the affairs of the living, but still wishes he could protect the Bat, Eeltog.
Annie Airgid
Annie is an air sorceress who befriended Gordy and participated in magic training with him. Annie is the daughter of an ordinary man and a former dictator sorceress, now banished for thirty-five years. Her father never liked the idea of Annie involving herself with magic, since her mother’s magic resulted in huge damage. Annie has not seen her mother since the age of six and has a volatile relationship with her ordinary father. As a sorceress (also called a witch), Annie works as a pizza chef, making magical pizzas in a matter of minutes, much loved by everyone in the Sorcery Society, especially her Cat, Seronethera. Annie also has a special relationship with Gordy’s Bat, Eeltog, as prior to working with Gordy, Eeltog worked with Annie’s banished mother. After Eeltog’s undeserved arrest for poisoning Gordy, Annie set herself to work on a necromancy spell that would allow her to communicate with the ghost of her fallen friend. After a year of performing tasks and gathering ingredients around the world (and a sword from Mars), Annie enacted the rare necromancy spell, offering the most surprising result.
The Pumpkin
Annie created this unique character one Halloween night, as the unexpected result of her necromancy spell. Not understanding the Pumpkin’s true purpose, Annie is disappointed, making the Pumpkin feel unwanted. The Pumpkin desires the approval of Annie and others in this confusing world. As the main protagonist and narrator, the readers learn about the Salem Society of Sorcery through the Pumpkin’s experiences. The necromancy spell grants the Pumpkin extraordinary linguistic abilities, but this hero still struggles with understanding people and will be tested in knowing right from wrong. The ordinary people of this world do not accept a walking, talking Pumpkin and many people with magic find it a stretch as well. This character has a goal for understanding self-identity and wanting a place to belong. The Pumpkin’s magic is unpredictable and based on emotions. As a product of Annie’s necromancy spell, the Pumpkin is the only one who can see and communicate with the ghost of Gordy, and thus leads the Pumpkin’s quest in finding justice for the fallen sorcerer and the framed Bat before the execution at dawn.
