Characters - Through the Window

Characters

	Chessie Chessie is your typical grey squirrel...except not. An eternal optimist and cloudcuckoolander, she seems to follow her own set of rules. After meeting Dook, she spends most of her time annoying the ferret either through the window or inside the house. Comics: 299 Recent Appearance: Page #517: "The moon is made of cheese." (Intermission 13) First Appearance: Page #1: “You’ll never guess how much I care.” (City Visit)
	Dook Dook is an ordinary house ferret, if you overlook his grumpy demeanor and his dream to become a famous songwriter. He lived a life of peace and quiet (again, aside from the music) until the day he met Chessie. Since then, he's done his best to ignore her, hoping she'll eventually go away. It's not looking very likely. Comics: 243 Recent Appearance: Page #517: "The moon is made of cheese." (Intermission 13) First Appearance: Page #1: “You’ll never guess how much I care.” (City Visit)
	Honey Honey is absolutely fabulous. Her appearance is meticulous in that everything must be perfect. She holds a high regard in making a good first impression, and wants to share this view with others. Why she decided to start this crusade with Chessie is anyone's guess. Comics: 134 Recent Appearance: Page #506: "It can be yours for twenty nickels!" (Show on the Road) First Appearance: Page #49: “Good morning, Chessie?!” (Dead of Winter)
	Elizabeth Elizabeth is a mouse living in the walls of Dook's home. She doesn't socialize much with the animals on either side of The Window, and when she does, she can be very distant and soft-spoken...until she starts to sing. After hearing Dook's untrained voice, she decided to give him singing lessons so he wouldn't embarrass himself around her again.

	Hazel Hazel is a timid, soft-spoken red squirrel that lives "across the pond". When nervous, she tries to hide herself behind her long, poofy tail. It's assumed that Chessie and Hazel are cousins, but the exact lineage is unclear. Comics: 102 Recent Appearance: Page #519: "Whew." (Headquarters) First Appearance: Page #88: “Bye, Dook!” (Goodbye, Summer)
	Raoul Raoul is a wolf that has known Chessie since she was a kit. He's pretty patient with Chessie's antics, though that may come from being a little older than her.

	Max Max is a mutt that lives in the same complex as Dook. On occasion, his owner will drop Max off at Dook's owner's place. Max's favorite pastimes are barking while hiding behind something (or someone), chewing on stuffed animal ears, giving Dook (and now Chessie) lots of kisses, and chasing down that elusive red dot that shows up from time to time.

	Granny An elderly squirrel who lives with Chessie. She's quite knowledgeable of the goings on of the woods; getting the information out of her is another matter.
