Terry Carnivore
|
A high-spirited and audacious
tomboy who vigorously resists anything girly. So much so, she is often
mistaken for a boy. Even Teddy likes to refer to her as his brother.
This is further complicated by a bet she lost to Heather, she can not
reveal to anyone she is a girl. She is not afraid to try new things
including all kinds of athletic endeavors except the girly ones. She
shares an unusual relationship with Heather, her adversarial opposite.
When they are not busy throwing messy stuff at each other, dubiously
called "The Flan Wars", they seem to always be hanging out
with each other. A schemer like her father, but unlike her father, her
plans often runs afoul especially with the school faculty. Students see
her free thinking as non-conformity and added her war with Heather, she
has achieved a certain amount of popularity. She an energetic go getter
who also likes to take things in stride.

Teddy Carnivore
|
An affable cub who considers
Terry a brother and is each other’s best friend. Their relationship is
so close some people falsely think it’s unseemly. The only things that
upset him about her is when she borrows his clothes and her constant
warring with Heather whom he sometimes serves as a mediator. While Terry
is into athletics, Teddy is into all kinds of hobbies ranging from
typical to unconventional and enjoys introducing these things to Terry.
Considered the cutest kid in school, he is often swoon upon by all the
girls. |

 |
Johnnie Carnivore
|
An ill natured, intimidating
bear that takes no stuff from anyone and at times can be antisocial.
Born and raised in the woods, she is the least adapted of the clan, and
is prone to open displays of crass and tactless behavior. Enjoys any and
all kinds of lowbrow endeavors such as reality television, and is a bear
of many vices. Believes the bears are being corrupted by humanity but
she is in fact the worse offender. |

 |
Jeffery Carnivore
|
The even-tempered and
intelligent patriarch of the clan who is one of a very few individuals
who is not intimidated by Johnnie. Raised in the zoo, he learned the
ways of humanity by observing the people who visit him. After being
released in the wild, he uses this knowledge to integrate himself into
human society. An enterprising profiteer, his elaborate schemes range
from ingenious to unscrupulous and luck always seems to be with him,
much to everyone chagrin. Though he is a profiteer; he’s far from
frugal, as he has no problem enjoying a lavish lifestyle. |

Heather Carnivelle
|
Terry’s self proclaim arch
nemesis and polar opposite. A brooding thumb sucking cheerleader whom
believes she is a sophisticated and refined girl but unbeknownst to
herself, she has a boorish, slovenly underside. She claims to harbor a
deep-rooted hatred for Terry and wishes to humiliate and destroy her.
According to Heather, she and Terry were the very best of friends who
annually see each at summer camp but when Terry transfers to her school,
Terry has no recollection of their friendship. This slight enrages
Heather so much; she declares war on her so-called friend Terry. Her
goal is to mold the tomboy into her own image and make her join the
cheerleading team. The most popular girl in school, she is treated like
a celebrity but her obsessive war with Terry has inadvertently raised
Terry’s popularity ratings at the cost of her own. |

Kim Carter
|
Terry’s geeky, pretentious,
and boring sidekick, who is smartest girl in school. A know-it-all
overachiever who feels her intelligence makes her superior to everyone.
She actually runs afoul of teachers who don’t like to read her long
boring book reports or her sleep inducing oral reports. Always bragging
about her intelligence and look for ways to be rewarded for it, such a
petitioning the school board to rename the school after her. She sees
her friendship with Terry as a privilege on her part and considers PBS
and lengthy study times the highest form of recreation. Many wonders why
the two with such different personalities can be friends, especially the
envious Heather. She believes herself to be cool, but she is really
tragically unhip. |

 |
Tracy McNeil
|
An uptight and driven
community activist with a suppressed unrestrained side, who tries to get
the passive Johnnie to participate in her volunteer work. A constant
meddler particularly regarding Jeffrey’s nonchalant approach to life
and Johnnie’s boorish actions. Though being a part of the Carnivores’
entourage makes her feel like a sycophant, she still accepts their
generosity just the same. |
|
 |
Carl McNeil
|
Jeffrey’s jack of all trades
neighbor who admires his ingenuity. A sometimes-frustrated blue-collar
business owner, Carl has no problem being a part of the Carnivores’
entourage. |
|
 |
Allowese Wright
|
Typically low paid, polyester wearing
teacher, who is very strict and rumored to be borderline
postal. She takes great pleasure in sadistically dishing
out extra hard classroom assignments to her students.
When she is not harping about her chosen profession, she
has to deal with either Terry’s smart-alecky attitude
or Kim’s excessively tedious school assignments. She
calls them "The Terrible Twos". |
