You might need to read the plot overview first.
Ethan James is one of my few protagonists.
He's timid, quiet, and stays away from things. You can't blame him really. He's had an incredibly bad history.
Ethan was just nine when his father died, and he found himself unable to identify why. He and his father had had a real connection, a fantastic bond, and he was just suddenly…gone. He got through it though, with his mother, Belle, and his sister, Ratu. He and Ratu were like best friends. They did everything together. It could seem unusual that Ethan and his little sister got on so well, but they’d been through so much together. Suddenly, on his 13th birthday, Ratu was killed by a falling tree. (Anyone got any suggestions as to a better death?) Everything changed and Ethan became depressed. He never smiled at things, never laughed at all. This was mostly because of the horrible last words he had shouted at Ratu. He was disturbed, and solemnly sad. One day everything suddenly started getting better when the sanctuary adopted an orphan tiger cub. They named it Ratu (later discovering it was a boy!) and Ethan created a real connection with it. They became the new best friends. The rest of Ethan’s life is yet to be written.
Appearance: Ethan is fairly short and slim. He has scruffy bark-brown hair and bright azure eyes. His lips are sweetly small and he still has his round baby face. He is very lightly freckled, and you can only see them in the summer.

Aww, even though you've created a very depressing history, the fact that they name the tiger cub after Ethan's sister is absolutely adorable. I love that! ^o^

Second Protagonist:
Belle James is Ethan's mother. She used to be a bright, loving woman and even tried to keep it up after her husband died. It all broke down when her daughter died too, though. Everything went wrong and Ethan created his own secluded world, keeping Belle far out of it. She felt alone, depressed, was breaking down and had no one to help her. She would soon do something that would leave her son truly alone...
Belle has mediumish blonde hair, blue eyes, a normal, and if anything then pretty, face. She is slim and just has a normal, regular look about her.

Third protagonist:
Ratu the tiger. Ratu is an orphan tiger cub, discovered by two humble loggers. Not knowing what to do with him, they hand him in to the Orangutan Sanctuary where the cub grows up with Ethan. Eventually, the cub gets a little big, and as they tend to do, grows into a tiger. Ratu is forced to live outside. One day though, when everything goes wrong, he is suddenly forced away into the jungle to fend for himself.
Ratu is a beautiful tiger with thick raven stripes and evenly dark fur. He has a tufty white mane on his large cheeks and glowing amber eyes.

Fourth protagonist:
Hilary James.
She is the most loopy person I have ever written about. Hilary is fifteen years old and lives in England. She's absoloutly...weird. But unique, and has a tremendous fashion sense. She's just average looking, if not girly, and has wondering green eyes. She dresses like she thinks she's a fairy and is obsessed with flourescent colours.
Hilary is very light and dreamy and is always glowing with happiness. She seems completely oblivious to the fact that she has only one friend. Though when put into a serious situation which demands authority, she can reveal her understanding, intellectual side.
When Ethan moves to England, he is put in a few classes with Hilary. At first he finds her very irritating, but soon grows to like her airy ways and they become best friends.
