CHARACTERS

	Lucy Lucy is staggeringly unpopular at both school and home. Still, our heroine soldiers on, armed with a guitar, her pufferfish and the occasional Chunky Muffin Shake.
	Puffy Lucy’s pet pufferfish. After a nervous introduction, Lucy relishes having someone that doesn’t recoil at her site. As long as she keeps Puffy in Puffy Puffs, the leading Pufferfish treat, they get on fine.
	Yasmin Lucy’s sister Yasmin is popular, pretty and always in style. She’s more than happy to help Lucy with her wardrobe, as it will make it less shameful should anyone find out they are related.
	Justin Lucy’s brother Justin loves playing games with Lucy. His favourites are “Put seaweed in Lucy’s bed”, “Hide Lucy’s breakfast” and of course “Flick an elastic band at Lucy’s head.”
	Patricia Lucy’s sister Patricia is an absolute sweetheart. To most folk that is. To Lucy, she’s down right scary.
	Larry Lucy’s brother is not as hostile to her as many folk in her life. He’s not likely to step in to help her in times of trouble either. He prefers to be a neutral observer of Lucy’s struggles, purely for the sake of academic research of course.
	Lucy’s Mum and Dad Lucy’s parents pride themselves on their parenting, to just four of their five children at least. This leaves their attitudes towards Lucy ranging from indifference, to hostility with possible homicidal tendencies.
	Kate, Jessica, Miki and Rami The cool kids seem to effortlessly breeze through the hardships of school life. They tend to either ignore Lucy or make her feel like pond scum.
	Sandra Sandra arrives at Stoneydip High, excited to start her new school, and assumes she will be just as popular as she was in her old one. Then she meets Lucy.
	Lamington Fuzz The coolest band in Stoneydip. Lucy is their biggest fan. I hope things go well for this talented group.
