If you whisper a wish into the wind

Will it come true?

Character Biographies

The following contains detailed notes on the characters in the story! Do not read the biographies before completing Part 3 of the story unless you would like to risk learning things about the Diitto warriors' personalities before they are revealed in the story, and don't read the biographies until completing Part 4 unless you would like to risk learning about all of my characters' special Diitto powers! The notes on the minor characters in the story are just general and serve to keep me (and my readers) from becoming confused by the sheer number of them.

The above is fair warning. Continue only if you don't mind spoilers! (Hint: to easily find a certain character use the Find feature on your computer! I sort everyone, even the teachers, by first name, so you won't find Jean-Pierre Delmas under the D section, but the J section instead.)

Also, pay attention to the poem in italics framing this section. It might have something to do with my plot, but that's all I'm hinting for now. ;)

Aelita Stones (formerly Aelita Hopper and Aelita Schaeffer)

Aelita began working part time as a DJ in college and continued until her children were 6 and 4. During the time when both she and her husband, Jeremie, were at work, Yumi and Ulrich watched Franz and Waldo. Through her work as a DJ, Aelita was able to amass enough money to easily fund the creation of Diitto. After retiring she made a point to spend more time with her children and Jeremie.

Aelita tried in vain to prevent Xana from taking four of the original Lyoko warriors, and devotes nearly all of her waking time to working on getting them back. (She doesn't always sleep and eat when working, either.) Though Franz and Waldo help her at times, Aelita is single-handedly working to bring the others home since she did help with Diitto's coding and is familiar with it.

Though Aelita rarely visits Diitto, when she does she wears a pink and green tunic, white pants, and a leaf circlet on her head. A pink device on her hand triggers wings, allowing Aelita to fly on her own, though the wings vanish instantly if she is hit. Aelita's circlet allows her to project thoughts and images into the minds of others. Her weapon is known as energy field – pink orbs of light that she can fire at foes upon command. Aelita also has retained her creativity on Diitto, though only in the arctic, sylvan, savanna, and alpine regions because they are based off of Lyoko's polar, forest, desert, and mountain regions respectively.

Alexander Hapasky

One of the eight Russian exchange students at Kadic Academy, Alexander (or Sasha) has short brown hair and is the only one out of his family to have blue eyes. Ivan is his younger brother. He rooms with his cousin, Nikolai, on the fourth floor of the Elizabeth building and is in the ninth grade.

André Blanc

A sixth-grader at Kadic Academy, André is lucky enough to have one of the singles on the second floor of the Jean-Pierre building to himself. He sits next to Waldo in several classes and likes to draw, preferring to muse quietly over his own thoughts than participate in discussions. He skateboards around the grounds occasionally. He has spiky white hair and blue eyes.

Ashley Johnson

Johnson teaches English at Kadic Academy. She is one of Franz's favorite teachers because she tends to favor him over the other boys in their never-ending paper ball war in her classroom.

Catherine Farr

Catherine is short and has short brown hair and hazel eyes. She rooms with Marthe Fournier on the third floor of the Elizabeth building and is from the states – thus she speaks English fluently. Her friends like her because she helps them with their homework, but those she rarely speak with find her bitter and unfriendly.

Chad Smith

An eighth-grader at Kadic Academy, Chad lives on the fourth floor of the Elizabeth building. He has short blond hair and hazel eyes. Smarter than the rest of his circle of friends, Chad spends his free time studying as opposed to being athletic. He is from England and speaks fluent English – French is his second language.

Chakori Henry

A sixth-grader, Chakori rooms with Nancy Dunbar on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre building. She is from India, likes to draw on herself with tubes of henna (much to the annoyance of her teachers) and is very involved with Kadic's dance club. Her personality is soft though friendly.

Franz Hopper Belpois

Parents: Jeremie Belpois & Aelita Stones

Height: 61.4 inches or 1.56 meters

Grade: 8th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / Japanese (90% fluency) / English (50% fluency) / Spanish (20% fluency)

Personality: Franz accurately describes himself as hyperactive and impulsive. (Several times, Franz's teachers tried to convince his parents to test him for ADHD, though because Franz was always the top of his class Aelita and Jeremie didn't feel the need.) He's likes being around other people, regardless of how the majority of his peers at school have taken to making fun of him for being so smart without having to do anything over the years. To cope with this, Franz tends to try and make jokes on the boys that make fun of him, more or less succeeding every time. Though brilliant (his parents believe Franz is smarter than either of them were at his age) Franz has several shortcomings – mainly his inability to sit still (unless playing computer or the piano) and his inability to spend more than 5 minutes planning something (though Franz claims he needs no more time than that to consider all the details for anything.) He's quite protective over his good friends, and when he gets an idea and is determined to act upon it Franz becomes one of the most stubborn people in existence.

Activities: Franz is on Kadic's soccer team, and his uncle Ulrich taught him how to play. Franz skateboards competitively, competing in the competitions that come to his school every year. He is also musically talented, having learned to play the piano from his mother during a rare period when he could sit still for long enough to do so. Franz practices pencak silat.

Diitto Costume & Abilities: Franz resembles an elf on Diitto. His ears are pointed, and his white sleeveless tunic and pants have portions that change color depending on which sector he is presently in. His weapon is a recurve bow that materializes along with him. On his back is a quiver that starts with ten arrows. If Franz uses up all ten, then he must wait for someone to program him more. When shooting a target, Franz activates a series of programs that help with his aim: Target, Locked, Release, and Strike. Later, upon realizing that Jeremie programmed elements into Diitto, he uses the programs Ice and Fire to freeze or enflame the tips of his arrows before shooting them so that he can either temporarily freeze an opponent or double the damage done with a normal Strike. Franz is able to activate the program Timewarp, which allows him a slight advance in time on Diitto so that he can see things before they happen and have time to react before a disaster.

Other Notes: Franz also spends a lot of time on his computer playing video games, coding, and proving to himself that he can hack into things. He and the Stern girls share a lot of common interests, possibly propelled by the fact that Yumi and Ulrich watched him and Waldo for much of the time before Aelita quit her job as a DJ while Jeremie was working at the university. Franz rooms with Matthias on the third floor of the Elizabeth building.

James Zachary

Coach Zachary is, not surprisingly, the coach for Kadic's sports teams as well as its main gym instructor. He's a good-natured man who takes pride in his athletic students and is particularly fond of Franz.

Hannah Brocker

A biology teacher at Kadic, Brocker teaches Franz, Matthias, and Valentina as well as coordinates many of the academic trips for Kadic's students.

Isaac Desmarais

Issac is tall and has ginger hair that curls a bit. His peers think he has the build of a model, and many of the girls at Kadic like him. However, though handsome, Isaac lacks intelligence. Matthias has been his friend since sixth grade, liking him because of his confident and daring personality. He rooms with Stéphane Thomas on the second floor of the Elizabeth building and runs track.

Ivan Hapasky

Ivan, a seventh-grader, lives on the second floor of the Jean-Pierre building in a single room. He is one of the eight Russian exchange students at Kadic. Ivan has short brown hair and, like his cousins and brother, Alexander, does not speak much French.

Jean-Pierre Delmas

Kadic's long-time principal has aged since the original Lyoko warriors attended his school, sporting gray hair, a mustache, and a beard. He no longer moves around without the assistance of his cane and it is rumored that he plans to retire in the foreseeable future. He finds it intriguing (though he doesn't know why) that the Diitto warriors tend to have the same knack for trouble that their parents once had.

Jennifer Lisle

Lisle teaches history at Kadic academy.

Jeremie Belpois

Jeremie Belpois married Aelita after college and helped her to restore the Hermitage, her former home, so that they could raise a family there. Jeremie has worked as an instructor at a prestigious local university teaching computer classes, though most of his free time was spent on Diitto.

Trapped in the core by Xana on his first voluntary trip to a virtual world, Jeremie, being the creator of Diitto, executes a program known as the Preservation to keep himself out of Xana's grasp by essentially merging himself with the system. Though he no longer has the ability to regain human form, Jeremie can run the supercomputer from the inside when he has enough power to do so. A lot of his energy was spent saving Yumi, Odd, and William initially, so until he recovers he is unable to help the others at all.

While on Diitto, Jeremie pre-programmed his abilities and attire, wearing a simple gray outfit and encircling himself within a protective green shield. He gave himself an attack similar to Aelita's energy field, though much more effective. Jeremie's energy glows green.

Jillian Blannk

Jillian is Nancy and Matthias's mother and William's ex-wife. She lives on the northern shore of France and used to take Nancy during the school year while Matthias was away at Kadic, only relinquishing her children in the summer. (Matthias used to spend school holidays with her.) Since both of her children are now old enough to attend Kadic, Jillian accepted a job that requires her to travel a bit.

Joshua Gardener

Joshua is in the seventh grade and lives on the second floor of the Jean-Pierre building with his roommate. He's very involved with the Kadic News, and likes to snoop the campus for the most interesting stories so he can print them. He has short brown hair and wears glasses.

Jules Chorter

Chorter succeeded Jim Morales fifteen years ago as Kadic's grounds keeper, and spends his time maintaining the gardens and lawns around the school, watering the indoor plants, and patrolling the grounds after hours to be sure that none of the students leave their dormitories when they are supposed to be in bed. Before the story, he gained a disliking for Kokoro because of her tongue, Franz because of several broken pots, and Matthias because he and his friends often try to toilet paper his trailer in the dead of night.

Katja Rei Stern

Parents: Ulrich Stern & Yumi Ishiyama

Height: 65 inches or 1.65 meters

Grade: 9th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / Japanese (100% fluency) / English (80% fluency) / Italian (30% fluency)

Personality: Katja has a warm, friendly personality, though she is very shy. She is quite intelligent and hard working – which has allowed her to become the head of her class. Katja has the urge to make people happy and can be very selfless for others. Through the years, Katja has grown a reputation as a jack-of-all-trades, being intelligent, athletic, and pretty. Her parents sometimes wonder where she got the most social parts of her personality since neither of them are particularly social. While she is able to think quickly, Katja has always wished she had a quicker wit about her. She does have delicate feelings and sometimes will hold grudges on those who spite her.

Activities: Katja is on Kadic's soccer team. She learned how to play from her father as a little kid and is a surprisingly aggressive player on the field. Katja also occasionally writes articles for the Kadic News and practices pencak silat.

Diitto Costume & Abilities: On Diitto Katja's costume resembles a butterfly. Her sleeveless oriental-style dress is golden yellow with black curved lines that become closer together around the bottom of her dress until the last two inches or so of fabric are completely black. On either side of her dress there is a cut to allow Katja more mobility. Katja wears yellow sandals with a slight heel that make her 66 inches tall on Diitto and has fingerless, form-fitting black gloves that reach an inch beyond her wrist. A pair of yellow and black butterfly wings with patterning similar to that of a swallowtail. The tips of her semi-transparent wings (which do not permit flight) harden into the handles of Katja's duel dagger-like j-shaped swords. She uses them to fight on Diitto, twisting them into a target and exclaiming Excavate upon impact to maximize the damage inflicted. She is the fastest person on Diitto, and moves too quick for anyone to follow upon activating the program Blur. Katja also has the ability to activate Cocoon, a program that allows her wings to temporarily grow, harden, and completely encircle her for a few moments so that she can shield herself from attack.

Other Notes: When stressed out or very nervous, Katja tends to delevop a mild case of OCD that results in her cleaning or reorganizing whatever she can. Katja is almost 1/2 an inch taller than her twin sister. She is a day student at Kadic.

Kokoro Ishiyama Stern

Parents: Ulrich Stern & Yumi Ishiyama

Height: 64.6 inches or 1.64 meters

Grade: 9th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / Japanese (100% fluency) / English (70% fluency) / Spanish (20% fluency)

Personality: While not as bright as her sister academic-wise, Kokoro is very analytical and has a good head on her shoulders. However, she is easily annoyed and has no tolerance for certain people or things. Highly self-conscious, Kokoro tends to remains quiet unless around friends (during which a tomboyish personality emerges.) Though Kokoro will speak when spoken to, often replying in a blunt, crude manner that has earned her a reputation all over the school as the evil Stern twin. (Kokoro doesn't mind this.)

Activities: Kokoro plays soccer, though has always hesitated to join the team because she is worried that Franz and Katja would outshow her. She does skateboard competitively, and is very involved in the pencak silat club. Kokoro also edits the Kadic News, occasionally writing articles for the school paper.

Diitto Costume & Abilities: Kokoro takes on the characteristics of a lithe dragon on Diitto, having the ability to flip around as her mother but being unable to do so unless unburdened by her large fan. She is materialized in a sleeveless oriental dress that is also similar to her mother's original costume – half black and half red, with the skirt ending just above her knees. Small silver dragons pattern the fabric. Kokoro also wears black leggings, heels that make her exactly 66 inches tall, and an obi that binds her loose dress to her body as well as holds her large fan when it is not in use. Along each of Kokoro's arms are ten bracelets, alternating between red and black in color. Kokoro's fan, which has a height of 4 feet, is her primary weapon on Diitto. She can use it as a shield or launch it at a large opponent by opening it while spinning around. (However, she has very limited accuracy doing attack, and learns quickly not to rely on it.) More versatile, though still relatively inaccurate, is Kokoro's fan's Aeroslice, which sends a blast of sharp air at her opponent when she spins her fan. Kokoro's bracelets also allow her to fight an opponent from close range. The red ones detach, and she can make them glow with flame by spinning them quickly in her hand and then either scald her opponents or toss them a short distance at a target. When Kokoro has used all ten of her red bracelets, she is able to lock the black ones together by hitting her arms, activating the dangerous program Dragon's Dance. Used only as a last resort, this program transforms Kokoro into a large red and black dragon with the ability to fly around Diitto and shoot fireballs for a limited period of time. With each passing second Kokoro loses life points in dragon form, though she gains an additional 100 upon activating the program. When Kokoro loses all of her life points in dragon form her human form is rematerialized briefly before she is automatically de-virtualized by the supercomputer.

Other Notes: Kokoro was born nine minutes before her sister. She thinks of herself as a loner, and doesn't see the need in growing too close to anyone even though she cannot ever recall not adoring her parents – especially her mother, Yumi. She is a day student at Kadic.

Maria Hapasky

Maria, who lives on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre building with her cousin Svetlana, is the younger sister of Nikolai and Uliya. She has shoulder-length curly hair and speaks very little French.

Marthe Fournier

Marthe boards with Catherine Farr on the third floor of the Elizabeth building in room 6. She is undoubtedly the prettiest of the female eighth graders, of medium height with straight, silvery hair that dusts her shoulders and bright green eyes. All of Kadic knows her for her musical talent.

Matthias James Dunbar

Parents: William Dunbar & Jillian Blannk

Height: 67.3 inches or 1.71 meters

Grade: 8th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / English (30% fluency) / Italian (20% fluency)

Personality: Matthias is a loud child with a defensive (and sometimes aggressive) persona. He inherited much of his personality from his father, William. Highly argumentative, Matthias will never fail to vocally argue his opinion even after he learns it is wrong. But, Matthias is also very determined – he works for what he wants and his successful endeavors are usually the result of a lot of effort on his part. He appreciates people that are confident (expect when they oppose him) and thinks that those who are too quiet are weak-minded. Even though Matthias is intelligent he lacks common sense. He is the type to create and implement a large, detailed plan than any other person would have noticed at least one major shortcoming in because Matthias makes too many assumptions at times. When wrong, these assumptions have a habit of rubbing some of his peers the wrong way.

Activities: Matthias is the goalie on Kadic's soccer team, being tall enough to block the entire height of the goal and quick enough to almost always prevent the other team from scoring. He skateboards, though not competitively.

Diitto Costume & Abilities: On Diitto Matthias has snake-like qualities, having strengthened hearing. (Diitto does not have smells, or air to breathe for that matter.) He wears a primarily blue bodysuit decorated in black lines that cover his arms, legs, and body in subtle squiggles (think of how a snake slithers and the mark it would leave behind in the sand) that allows for quick movement. In fact, Matthias is the most agile on Diitto, and his abilities allow him to seek out footholds when climbing and to notice small details that the others might not. Matthias can summon a large sword into his right hand. The sword, which is 4 feet long, is thin, but has a 12-inch width. He uses it to slash at opponents close-range. Through the program Electric Snake Matthias releases a current of electricity from his sword; the current then strikes his foe provided it has a means to travel to the target if he is not close by. Later, Matthias learns that he can bring balls of electricity to his hands with the program Electrify, allowing him an alternative form of combat close-range and from a distance, for the electricity balls strengthen as they mature.

Other Notes: Matthias gets along with his father, though he still blames him for ruining his family because of his feelings for Yumi Ishiyama. Because of this, he dislikes Yumi and started being rude to her two girls, which resulted in a lingering hatred between him and the twins. Matthias rooms with Franz on the third floor of the Elizabeth dormitory.

Nadya Hapasky

An eighth-grader at Kadic, Nadya rooms on the third floor of the Elizabeth building with her cousin, Uliya. She is one of the eight Russian exchange students at Kadic. Svetlana and Vladimir are her siblings. Nadya has shoulder-length, straight hair and speaks minimal French.

Nancy Georgette Dunbar

Parents: William Dunbar & Jillian Blannk

Height: 55.9 inches or 1.42 meters

Grade: 6th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / English (5% fluency) / Italian (0% fluency)

Personality: Nancy has a very quiet personality, reportedly gained from her mother alongside her bright red hair. She is unable to make decisions quickly, and her indecisiveness annoys Matthias much of the time. Nancy dislikes how her brother tries to make her more outgoing, being happy as she is but always tending to doubt herself when in a crisis. She is most comfortable around friends and can easily get along with the other quiet girls her age. Nancy does not ask questions when curious to an answer, instead hoping that someone would reveal the desired information with time. There are times when she acts instinctively rather than sensibly.

Activities: Upon coming to Kadic, Nancy becomes involved in the dance club after her roommate successfully convinces her to join.

Diitto Notes: Determined to never go to Diitto, Nancy devotes herself to learning how to operate the supercomputer so that she will never be put in a position that traps her as Xana's slave as her father was so many years before. She quickly memorizes the instruction manual that Aelita provides and learns basic coding from Franz and Waldo so that she can do simple repairs on the supercomputer on an as needed basis (such as programming more arrows for Franz or hacking into the school's mainframe to disconnect its cameras).

Other Notes: Nancy sees Franz and Katja as older siblings, finding that they are nicer to her than Matthias. She is a gentle person who doesn't like trouble, but she has no problem with stabbing her brother in the back as payment for all the misery he put her through. Nancy lives on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre Building with her roommate, Chakori.

Nikolai Hapasky

One of the eight Russian exchange students at Kadic Academy, Nikolai has short, wavy brown hair that would curl if he allowed it to grow out. Uliya and Maria are his younger sisters. He rooms with his cousin, Alexander, on the fourth floor of the Elizabeth building and is in the ninth grade.

Nicole Rousseau

A sixth-grader at Kadic, Nicole rooms with Sylvie Lockheart on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre building. She has a quiet nature and plays the flute. Nicole has black hair that she keeps as short as a boy's and blue eyes.

Odd Della Robbia

After graduation, Odd returned home to the states and opened an art shop. Though he tried desperately, he was unable to find a woman to settle down with, so he took to spoiling his sisters' children along with the Stern girls and the Belpois boys. When Diitto was activated, Xana trapped Odd in the core sector so that he could make him his slave and get revenge for what happened to him years ago. However, Jeremie prevented this by severing his digital essence from the rest of his code and eventually embedding it within Valentina elsewhere on Diitto.

Olivine Oaks

An eighth-grader at Kadic, Olivine rooms with Sara Ramirez on the third floor of the Elizabeth building. Olivine has darker skin and dark brown hair with brown eyes and has difficulty keeping her mind on her studies.

Sara Ramirez

An eighth-grader at Kadic, Sara rooms with Olivine Oaks on the third floor of the Elizabeth building. Sara is Spanish, and has dark hair and hazel eyes. Her hair is kept just beyond her shoulders. She plays soccer.

Stéphane Thomas

Stéphane, an eighth grader at Kadic, shares a room on the second floor of the Elizabeth building with his best friend, Isaac Desmarais. What Isaac does not have in brain Stéphane makes up in cunning, being a very observant individual. Matthias and Stéphane have been friends since sixth grade. Stéphane is of medium height, has unruly dark hair, dark eyes and skateboards.

Svetlana Hapasky

Svetlana, who lives on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre dormitory with her cousin Maria, is one of the eight exchange students at Kadic. Nadya is her older sister and Vladimir is her older brother. She speaks little French and keeps her long hair in a ponytail much of the time.

Sylvie Lockheart

A sixth-grader at Kadic, Sylvie rooms with Nicole Rousseau on the third floor of the Jean-Pierre Building. She has a bold nature and likes to play soccer. Her golden hair is shoulder-length and she has brown eyes.

Terri Bates

The grizzled old librarian at Kadic Academy, Mrs. Bates is notorious for being nearly blind even with her glasses. While she dislikes those who make noise in the library, she is actually a preferred detention overseer.

Ulrich Stern

After marrying Yumi Ishiyama, his lifelong love, Ulrich settled with her near some of his old friends and his old school. He and Jeremie were the original masterminds behind making a new virtual world, though wasn't able to do much during the building process aside from design the bunker at his company. (Ulrich works at an architectural firm about thirty minutes from his house.) When Xana captures Yumi, Ulrich wants nothing more than to wake up from his greatest nightmare and is hesitant to allow his daughters to fight him. Though with time he comes to realize that his girls and the other children will be the ones to save their parents and loosens his protective grip on them.

On Diitto, Ulrich still has his samurai costume. It's similar to the original one he wore on Lyoko, though he retained the device on his back to store his twin samurai swords. Ulrich has the ability to activate the programs Supersprint, Triplicate, Fusion, and Triangulate. He is one of the fastest people on Diitto.

Uliya Hapasky

By far the prettiest of the Russian exchange students at Kadic, Uliya has long, curly brown hair and soft eyes. She is Nikolai and Maria's sister and rooms with her cousin Nadya on the third floor of the Elizabeth building. Like the rest of her family, she speaks little French.

Valentina Heart Kotov

Parents: Lev Kotov & Louise Della Robbia

Height: 58.7 inches or 1.49 meters

Grade: 8th

Languages Spoken: English (100% fluency) / Russian (100% fluency) / French (70% fluency)

Personality: Valentina is a spoiled only child that grew out of hand as she aged. She has a blunt personality and isn't afraid to curse out those who oppose her – be they teachers or her own parents. Valentina enjoys toying with other people's emotions, liking to find something to make them snap back at her and then using what she knows as bait to have even more fun or, occasionally, as blackmail. She's never bothered to befriend anyone throughout her life, finding that it would be dangerous to tell anyone all of her secrets and not seeing the point in getting too know someone when she likely would not see them again if she had to change schools. Her parents sent her to three different schools between the ages of 8 and 12, and over the year before she attended Kadic at 13 her mother home-schooled her, forcing French upon her daughter in preparation for boarding school. For sending her away, Valentina intends never to forgive her parents. She misses her cat, Koshenka, and though Diitto intrigues her Valentina feels that she would return to the states if she received the chance. For this, she is determined, just as before, not to grow too close to anyone around her. While she sometimes seems simple and quiet, Valentina's mind is more than likely on overdrive – taking in detail after detail so that she'll be able to tackle the world as the bold spirit she is once she's gotten settled into her new surroundings.

Activities: Valentina used to run at one of her old school, and jumps at the chance to join Kadic's cross country team.

Ditto Costume & Abilities: Valentina is a wolf on Diitto. She wears a pale blue costume that covers every part of her save for her head, which has a pair of furry ears seemingly fixed atop it. The underside of the costume is white. On Diitto, Valentina's hands and feet are transformed into large paws and she has a bushy wolf's tail. Her large claws can cut through almost anything, and are also allow the girl to scale cliffs and even walk on a ceiling with ease. The program Ice Ray (the only program not activated by French) allows Valentina to shoot a beam of immobilizing ice at her opponent. Similar to how her uncle Odd could at one point see the future, Valentina sometimes gets flashes of events that happened previously through another's eyes when virtualized. This ability isn't categorized as a self-created program, though it is dubbed Aftersight.

Other Notes: Though she'll never allow herself to grow close to anyone, Valentina does like being around people and enjoys being the center of attention. She lives on the fourth floor of the Elizabeth dormitory in a single room because her mother (wrongly) claimed she didn't speak enough French to get along well with a roommate.

Vladimir Hapasky

The most handsome of the male Russian exchange students, Vladimir lives in a single on the fifth floor of the Elizabeth building and is in the tenth grade. He has shoulder-length brown hair of a shade lighter than the rest of his family. Like them, he speaks minimal French, though seems to understand everything that is said to him. Nadya and Svetlana are his younger sisters.

Waldo Stones Belpois

Parents: Jeremie Belpois & Aelita Stones

Height: 57.1 inches or 1.45 meters

Grade: 6th

Languages Spoken: French (100% fluency) / Japanese (90% fluency) / English (30% fluency) / Russian (0% fluency)

Personality: Waldo is much quieter and calmer than his older brother, Franz, and is somewhat easily intimidated. He is athletic and enjoys movement, though is generally unable to gather the coordination and enthusiasm required for competitive sports. Though not as experienced as his brother, Waldo's true talent lies with computers and he loves anything to do with electronics – from playing a game to disassembling an old computer monitor. Waldo has a cheeky side to him that only emerges when he is around those he trusts. He's quiet naïve socially, though isn't totally oblivious to his surroundings.

Activities: Waldo (under Aelita's coaxing – she believes he needs something athletic to do at school) tries out for the soccer team at Kadic. He also attends pencak silat club and skateboards, but his heart isn't in anything competitive since he began teaching himself advanced coding.

Diitto Costume & Abilities: Waldo wears dark green pants and a long-sleeved shirt that together appear to be a single article of clothing. Both have thick, silvery stitching that crisscrosses the fabric to give him a mechanical look. Waldo has only one ability on Diitto – Originality. (Aelita determines that he inherited her primary ability upon learning of his talent.) To use his power, Waldo drops to the ground and visualizes the environment around him morphing to suit his needs. In this way, he can wall-off monsters or expose the digital sea by dematerializing the very ground beneath them. The silver on his clothes glows brightly while he is in the process of using his originality. Waldo also is very sensitive to the pulsations created on Diitto for various reasons, and can read them to learn the location of his friends and monsters, and to seek out activated towers that are hidden from sight.

Other Notes: Waldo and the Stern girls share a lot of common interests, possibly propelled by the fact that Yumi and Ulrich watched him and Franz for much of the time before Aelita quit her job as a DJ while Jeremie was working at the university, (though the age difference between Waldo and the Stern twins has made him less close to them than his brother.) He lives on the second floor of the Jean-Pierre building in a single room.

William Dunbar

William gave up in his never-ending pursuit for Yumi's heart only after she announced her engagement to Ulrich Stern in their final year of college. Soon after, he dated and married a friend from college, Jillian Blannk, and together they had Matthias and Nancy. But William never lost his love for Yumi, so he and Jillian divorced. Though his relationship with the rest of the Lyoko warriors was always somewhat strained, William kept in touch with them through the years. When Diitto was activated, Xana trapped William in the core sector so that he could try and make him his slave and get revenge for what happened to him years ago. However, Jeremie prevented this by severing his digital essence from the rest of his code and eventually embedding it within Matthias elsewhere on Diitto.

Yumi Ishiyama

One of the original Lyoko warriors, Yumi married Ulrich Stern after college and settled close to Kadic Academy and her friends Aelita Stones and Jeremie Belpois. She and Ulrich are the parents of Kokoro and Katja Stern, though she and Ulrich consider Franz and Waldo to be their children as well – Yumi used to watch the Belpois boys while their parents worked. She taught all four of her 'children' Japanese and pencak silat. When Diitto was activated, Xana trapped Yumi in the core sector so that he could make her his slave and get revenge for what happened to him years ago. However, Jeremie prevented this by severing her digital essence from the rest of her code and embedding it within Kokoro elsewhere on Diitto.

Yves-Monique Lambert

Yves-Monique plays soccer and is friends with Isaac, Stéphane, and the rest of their group. He is a day student at Kadic. Yves-Monique is easily recognized because he has relatively long bright blue hair and green eyes.

For if you give yourself to that wish

And are willing to give everything for it

Then hasn't the wind already carried it halfway around the world?
