Disclaimer: I do not own Arthur. Arthur and other characters belonged to Marc Brown and Cookie Jar Entertainment. Got it?
The reason why it's rated T because in the further chapters it will contain mild language, sexual, violent and some racial material. If you are offended of those materials then run away! Now, in this chapter I will introduced the characters that will be in this story, most of them belonged to Marc Brown/CJE and some of them are created by me. I will sort them by main, major, and minor.
MAIN:
Arthur Read- He is everyone's favorite eight-year old aardvark boy! When he has his new teacher, he will developed a crush on her. But is she all that sweet?
Mr. Nigel Ratburn- He was the third grade teacher for Arthur's class. But shockingly, the middle-age rat man got murdered on a Sunday night at his house. No one knows who or how he got killed.
Ms. Lauren Henderson- She is a bear woman, in her late twenties, with brown hair. She will the new teacher for Arthur's class. She appears to be alright in her interview with Mr. Haney, but later in the days of teaching, she will start to be mean and snobby to the students, even to Arthur who has a little crush on her.
The Killer- He is the person who murdered Mr. Ratburn. Know one knows who he is, or his identity. (Except for me.) You will found who later in the story.
MAJOR:
Buster Baxter- A eight-year-old rabbit boy, who is Arthur best friend. He will help Arthur on the way later in the story.
Alan "The Brain" Powers- He is a eight-year-old bear boy, and a total genius. Alan is so smart that his friends call him "The Brain", or just simply "Brain". Brain will also help Arthur later on in the story, by inventing unique inventions.
David Read- A thirty-something-year-old aardvark man, who is the father of Arthur Read. In Chapter 3 his wife, Jane Read, starts to worry about him, since he haven't return home since he left to Crown City on Saturday. You will find out the truth on why David hasn't return.
Mr, Herbert Haney- A middle-age polar bear man, who a principal at Lakewood Elementary. Further in the story, you will learn about his past.
Arthur's Other Friends- More of Arthur's friends will also appear in this story. Muffy Crosswire the glamor monkey girl, Francine Frensky the monkey tomboy, Binky Barnes a bulldog looks like a bully in the inside, but he is kind on the inside, Sue Ellen Armstrong a cat girl who travels around the world with her parents, she has a little crush on Arthur, Prunella Deegan a rat fortune-telling girl, Fern Walters a poodle girl who loves poetry and reading, and last but not least, George Nordgen and Jenna Morgan, George is a moose ventriloquist boy, and is also dyslexic, Jenna is a cat girl who is also a badminton player.
MINOR:
Russell O'Neil- A pesky middle-age possum man, who appears to be Ms. Henderson's assistant.
Travis Haney- An eight-year-old polar bear boy, who is the nephew of Mr. Herbert Haney. He will meet Arthur and his friends later in the story.
Rodrick Read- A fourteen-year-old aardvark boy, who is Arthur's cousin. He is actually very smart as Alan Powers. He will help Brain on his technology later on in the story.
Now, without further ado, let's go on with the story.
