Lee Andrew Holtzer

Lee is seventeen, middle class, and has his hands in everything.  Chorus, drama club, yearbook, prom committee (he’s a real social and organizational butterfly) — but his real love is biology.  He's not sure what kind of career is ahead of him in that field, but his main focus right now is getting into a college with an excellent biology program.  The problem is, there are these cats that won’t leave him alone.  They keep talking to him, and one in particular keeps bugging him about making a wish!  If cats can grant wishes, he figures he's going to hang onto it and make it really count!

Francis Murakami

Frank is five days older than Lee, and his best friend since grade two.  He lives and works on a small family farm outside of town.  He assumes he has a duty to fulfill in taking over the seventy year-old farm, and spends his afterschool time attending to the obligations there.  But his passion is fashion, and his real dream is to be a designer.  He makes and alters a lot of his own clothes, but doesn’t have a lot of hope regarding being able to afford going to college.  Frank doesn’t interact with many of his schoolmates besides Lee.  Being the only Japanese-American in the school gives him his fair share of grief — he finds he gets less of it when he keeps to himself. He is particularly close to the elder of his two younger sisters, Sam.  

Adi R. Cohen 

Adi is a classmate of both Frank and Lee, but not at the same time.  She is sometimes called on to deliver messages between them, and she's the closest thing to another friend that Frank has besides Lee. At first, their relationship isn't much more than her being tutored in English Comp by Frank, which he does for a few students to get credit that makes up for his absences when things get busy on the farm.

Owen Wright

Owen is "the other tenor" in the school chorus, and a major drama diva (both in the "star of the school plays" sense as well as the "gossip" type.)  He would be total "alpha bitch" material, if not for the fact that he is too short to be intimidating and too clingy to be taken seriously.  Since they have several classes together, and since no one else pays attention to him, he spends a lot of school time hanging around Lee.  They have a testy relationship, but they are sort of stuck with each other because of secrets they've shared with one another and no one else.

Amy Murakami

Frank's youngest sister, aged 13.  She is a bit of a princess and a brat, opting out of helping with any of the farm work for fear of getting dirty or messing up her hair.  Frank and Sam have a habit of ganging up on her when she's being difficult, which just drives her more into her contrary and judgmental personality.  Her hobbies include talking on the phone and watching television.

.Sam Murakami

Sam (which is not her real name) is the middle sibling, and is only one year younger than Frank.  Although she spends most of her time watching animé or socializing on the internet instead of spending it with other people, she's a particularly perceptive and well balanced person.  She is the only one of the siblings who can both speak and read Japanese (Frank can speak a little, and Amy knows absolutely none.)
