Griffin’s sour demeanor does much to mask his youth. After his father’s untimely death, Griffin took up his responsibilities as the town’s gravedigger, a job he takes very seriously.

Age ~ 13

Pronouns ~ he/him

Daniel is the self proclaimed leader of a ragtag group of children in Riverwood called the Dock Kids who like to spend their free time under the pier where merchant ships sail in every other week. Since he is the oldest, he tends to declare his opinion on things as final, even if that causes him to butt heads with the other children. He's also a big fan of the theatre, and reads all the playscripts that come through his father's library.

Age ~ 12 1/2

Pronouns ~ she/her

Poppy is a bright young girl who prides herself on her intelligence, having just reached the age where she's realized every fairy tale her parents told totally fake. She knows better now! She often gets into friendly, level-headed debates with Jane and Nelle about the existance of such things, and she tends to win them - or at least believe she has.

Age ~ 12

Pronouns ~ he/him

Alvin does whatever he can to catch glimpses of the night sky, stargazing being one of his favorite activities. When his parents make him be "responsible" and go to bed at a proper time, however, he'll spend his days with his best friend Danny as they hang out at the pier with their friends. He tends to agree to whatever Danny decides on for the day, usually helping to outvote on the objections the others could have. That isn't to say he's a total push over; he knows Danny can be hardheaded at the best of times, and objects to his stupidest ideas.

Age ~ 11

Pronouns ~ she/her

Nelle is an avid fan of observing the sea life in the lake that Riverwood rests beside. She could be considered the founder of the Dock Kids club as more kids flocked to her premium meeting spot. She enjoys most of their company, especially when they listen to her ramble about the fish and bugs she's spotted through the day. Unfortunately, she doesn't approve much of the way the oldest can gang up on the little kids and convince them to do some unsavory things, to put it politely.

Age ~ 9

Pronouns ~ she/her

As the youngest of the Dock Crew, Angie typically tags along for whatever her friends are up to at any given time without much question.

It's no one's fault, Ivan thinks, though he certainly regrets never having the time to go check on Griffin to begin with.
