Back to Julie Bihn's Fox Tales

Characters (listed in order of first significant appearance):

This is meant to be a quick reference sheet for vital stats and trivia about the characters; it generally doesn't say much about what the characters have done in the comic. However, it may still contain spoilers for all issues online, and even has spoilers (power-wise) for future issues, so be careful.

And this page may take a while to load...

Miranda Sullivan

First appearance: Issue 1, page 1
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'6
Birthday: August 3
Age at first appearance: 16
Occupation: Student
Powers: flight (using wings); if she spins around three times, she will glow and destroy anything (besides living things) that she touches in the next 30 seconds; can protect herself by glowing for 30 minutes
Author's Notes: Miranda is pretty much based off myself. In fact, the only differences between us are that she has superpowers, she has the guts to dye at least part of her hair, and I would NEVER have any trouble sleeping (even if the world was ending the next day!). Oh, yeah, and she's able to find a boyfriend. She looks just like me, though.

Kris MacArthur

First appearance: Issue 1, page 1
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Gray
Height: 5'8
Birthday: January 26
Age at first appearance: 23
Occupation: Telemarketer (after issue 13)
Powers: can read minds
Author's Notes: Honestly, I really don't like Kris...he's supposed to be a real jerk later on in the series, but I doubt I'll get that far. As it is, he's a womanizer, and I can't STAND womanaizers. He's also supposed to be rather good-looking, but of course I didn't get that across.

Cheryl Ortiz

First appearance: Issue 1, page 4
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'7
Birthday: November 7
Age at first appearance: 30
Occupation: Biochemist
Powers: can shapeshift into anything
Author's Notes: She was supposed to be really smart, but I never gave her much of a personality. But I guess that helped make sure people didn't get too attached to her... One of the reasons Jeremy got so worked up when she was killed was because she was kind of a 'mother' figure to him.

Jeremy Calford

First appearance: Issue 1, page 6
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'6
Birthday: May 10
Age at first appearance: 17
Occupation: None
Powers: can speak mentally with animals
Author's Notes: I have no idea why I made Miranda's boyfriend someone who can talk with animals...but other than that, he pretty much has the traits I liked in guys when I wrote this series. (Very quiet!) He is amazingly sweet, though. I'm not telling why I made him get a haircut, though...

 Jonathan Harris

First appearance: Issue 1, page 9
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Height: 6'0
Birthday: March 8, 1734
Occupation: Investor
Powers: eternal youth, not harmed by hits that don't draw blood, flight w/out wings
Author's Notes: Actually, in my earliest plans, Jonathan was the one who met Miranda at the beginning of Fox Tales, but I decided he should be more reclusive. He also originally had to piece clothes together from other peoples' castoffs, and so had mismatched shoes, but that looked funny, so I had to change it. He wears mismatched shoelaces before he meets Anna again, though.

Mindy Fisher

First appearance: Issue 1, page 10
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Violet
Height: 5'7
Birthday: September 13
Age at first appearance: 22
Occupation: works at fast-food restaurant
Powers: can generate 6 in long devestating pink energy beams from hands, above average agility and strength
Author's Notes: Mindy was supposed to be a terrifying character, but she grew on me; now she's one of my favorites. I can't help but feel sorry for her... She's supposed to be quite beautiful.

Henry Mason

First appearance: Issue 3, page 2
Hair: Red
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'9
Birthday: July 27
Age at first appearance: 31
Occupation: manager of a clothing store
Powers: not harmed by fire as long as he's conscious
Author's Notes: He really enjoys fighting. Other than that, he doesn't have much personality. Well, he is a good leader.

Debra

First appearance: Issue 3, page 15
Hair: Orange
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'6
Birthday: August 14
Age at first appearance: 29
Occupation: high school English teacher
Powers: telekinesis
Author's Notes: I haven't had a chance to establish her character much in the comic, but she's an alcoholic, for one thing.

Heather Reid

First appearance: Issue 3, page 10
First speaking role: Issue 5, page 2
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'8
Birthday: July 27
Age at first appearance: 29
Occupation: secretary
Powers: projects energy eyebeam from left eye when eyepatch removed, clothing works as armor, hands are invulnerable
Author's Notes: I honestly didn't put much thought into her character; she kind of reminds me of Mindy, only not so angry. She's been through a lot, though. I like her scars. In case you didn't notice, she always wears green. The one person who's told me her favorite character in Fox Tales said it was Heather. No idea why... She really doesn't like to lead, but will do it if she needs to; maybe that makes her interesting.

Edward Green

First appearance: Issue 5, page 14
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Height: 5'4
Birthday: June 27
Age at first appearance: 19
Occupation: first at Carl's Jr., then a furniture mover
Powers: strong; able to extend fingernails to be about 10 in long and razor sharp
Author's Notes: I used to be frightened of Edward, but ever since I bothered giving him a personality, I found him interesting...I'm almost starting to like him, even. (I guess I can see the 'good' in him that no one else can see, mostly because I haven't really given him any positive traits in the whole series!) I've actually got one more story with him in it that makes him the tragic figure (!) but I don't know if it will ever get done. Appearance-wise, he's supposed to be a dead ringer for Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day. But I've actually come across several people who have a likeness to him. They scare me.

Sparky

First speaking appearance: Issue 5, page 20
Hair: Lavender
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'4
Birthday: November 28
Age at first appearance: 32
Occupation: none
Powers: shocks anyone or any metal she touches (static electricity)
Author's Notes: Sparky's kind of a sad character, really--she can't touch anyone (a la X-Men's Rogue) but is also funny-looking, so she can't really function outside the world of the Wolves. She also doesn't think much of herself, judging from her clothes... And, of course, Sparky is not her real name.

David Baldwyn

First appearance: Issue 6, page 1
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'7
Birthday: April 1
Age at first appearance: 33
Occupation: hypnotist (doesn't use his powers, though)
Powers: able to fully hypnotize one person (their eyes turn white; his glow yellow), his victims feel whatever pain he experiences while hypnotized
Author's Notes: David is my most pathetic character--not to say that I didn't put any thought into him, but just to say he makes me very sad. I feel extremely sorry for him, which is kind of odd, considering his past. His relation to Edward is rather clichéd, I know, but any other relationships I could think of would be just too risque. I guess I should've stuck with keeping him either evil or good; I don't have much of an excuse for his sudden 'transformation...'

Matthew Reid

First appearance: Issue 3, page 15
First speaking role: Issue 7, page 1
Hair: Naturally brown; sometimes dyed blue
Eyes: Hazel
Height: 5'7
Birthday: February 14
Age at first appearance: 18
Occupation: works 60 hours a week at the Target department store
Powers: projects destructive energy from pink energy 'bow' he creates with energy
Author's Notes: Matt is fairly shy (actually, most of the males in "Fox Tales" are!). He hates confrontations...

Anna Harris (nee Thompson)

First appearance: Issue 8, page 19
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'5
Birthday: April 17, 1735
Occupation: none
Powers: eternal youth, not harmed by hits that don't draw blood, flight with wings
Author's Notes: She's kind of a stereotypical 1950s (!) woman...not very independent, but then, considering when she was born, that's probably okay. She's really not THAT much of a wimp, though...honest!

Daisy

First appearance: Issue 12, page 15
Hair: Magenta (dyed)
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'5
Birthday: June 10
Age at first appearance: 18
Occupation: none
Powers: none
Author's Notes: Uh...hey, she has her G.E.D.! She hasn't done much yet, aside from tormenting poor Matt... I like her hair, although it is a pain to color.

Cougar Hernandez

First appearance: Issue 15, page 1
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'4
Birthday: April 20
Age at first appearance: 20
Occupation: college student
Powers: painfully changes into a cougar when she gets too cold
Author's Notes: Cougar was based on the fact that I used to really love seeing live bands, and the fact that I like ginger ale. Nothing deeper than that.

Lucia

First appearance: Issue 15, page 1 (the bartender)
First speaking role: Issue 16, page 1
Hair: Yellow
Eyes: Orange
Height: 5'8
Birthday: February 29
Age at first appearance: 26
Occupation: bartender
Powers: can control light; also doesn't sleep
Author's Notes: I actually had it figured out so that Lucia really could be born on February 29th and be the right age...but then I moved the whole Fox Tales story ahead a couple years, so I don't think it works anymore... I think her power is cool, but other than her cheeriness and a tendancy to flirt, she really doesn't have much of a personality.

Joseph Malley

First appearance: Issue 3, page 11
First speaking role: Issue 16, page 13
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'7
Birthday: March 6
Age at first speaking role: 26
Occupation: doctor
Powers: can draw himself and whatever he's touching into alternate dimension where they are blind and only hear him and become invisible and like ghosts when touching him. (Confused yet?) Has a calming voice
Author's Notes: I like his powers. He was actually based off a pilot (!)--when I was on a flight from Anaheim to Phoenix (or vice-versa), I was very nervous (even for me--I don't like flying) but the voice of the pilot over the intercom was very calming and made me feel better. He's good at being a doctor, too, with the calming voice, and he explains everything (it's a lot less scary that way!). I tried to model his hair off a classmate's--it was somehow messy and neat at the same time--and failed.

Teresa (Teri) Kessler

First appearance: Issue 3, page 15
First speaking role: Issue 16, page 13
Hair: Red
Eyes: Turquoise
Height: 5'7
Birthday: July 2
Age at first speaking role: 25
Occupation: designs/draws greeting cards
Powers: can influence the emotions of others
Author's Notes: Teri is often sick. Another character I feel sorry for. If more Fox Tales issues get drawn, she'll probably come in more.

Jake

First appearance: Issue 3, page 15
First speaking role: Issue 16, page 15
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Black
Height: 5'9
Birthday: January 7
Age at first appearance: 28
Occupation: accountant
Powers: changes spontaneously or at will into a kind of animal that looks like a cross between a werewolf and the Incredible Hulk. (He still has the mind and general voice box of a human, though.) He does have two minutes after he 'feels' that he is going to change before he actually changes, so no one outside the Wolves and Foxes knows about him.
Author's Notes: Could it be--another character I pity? Man, I had a fascination with accountants for a whole three months after I came up with this guy...
