I was re-reading Pure Dead Magic series and wanted to do one of these. I've been writing this to get the creative juices flowing - just thought I'd post it for fun ;P

Yes, I know these normally go at the front etc etc

Dramatis Personae

Servants: Exclusive to the Vania Royals

Magenta – Our main protagonist (for now) and obsessive fan girl extraordinaire. Her interests include Earth culture, sports and trying to split up Frank and Riff. Originally from a small planet hovering uncertainly on the Vania border, she is extremely self-conscious of her thick accent.

Riff Raff –Unpopular super science nerd. He reads a lot of non-fiction textbooks, complicated memoirs of esteemed scientists from all over the galaxy and his sister's romance novels. He and his cohort Frank are infamous around their neighbourhood for their scrounging to fund various convoluted and half-baked experiments. Is less insecure about his accent than Mags.

Frank – Considers himself the 'glamorous side of science' and incurs the wrath of Riff Raff by customising important documents and experiments with rhinestones, glitter and cut-outs from magazines. Desperately poor but determined to cross dress, he dreams of owning a walk-in closet bursting with corsets and fish-nets.

Nation – Know-it-all, gossip and a first class bitch – also the biggest tease Transsexual has ever known. Scarily intelligent with an uncanny ability to zero in on people's biggest insecurities, she uses her brains for evil – perhaps explaining why she's so hideously unpopular. Enjoys taunting Magenta about her "incestuous relationship" mainly to cover up her own little tryst with her brother.

Columbia – The type of girl that sedatives were made for. Peppy, squeaky and with a dangerously short attention span to boot, annoys just about everyone she comes into contact with.

Analsnog – Distant and indifferent, seems to never pay attention but knows scary amounts of gossip about everyone.

Cosmo – Stingy dictator-type owner of a local salon. Enjoys hiring his sister's friends as expendable, minimum wage underlings.

Eddie – Pudgy delivery boy.

Horror – Magenta's obsessive ex-boyfriend. Likes shiny things.

Cyan – Leader of Colour Components, gives Nation a run for her money in bitchiness.

Yellow – Slavish sidekick. Also likes shiny things.

Alison Wonderland – Dozy and curious little girl who bugs Mags

Gummy - Unknown to anyone else, Columbia secretly retrieved Gummy from the floor of Cosmo's salon and "Burried Him At Sea" unfortunately he ended up in a Nuclear/Magical waste dump and began to change... he has sworn vengeance on Nation for his misfortunes and will stop at nothing until she is comepletely bald.

Just about every name is a stupid pun. Some are obvious while others are more subtle...

More characters may pop up later on once the plot starts - just go with it. It'll hopefully all work out.

Also - to clear a few things up:

-Riff & Mag have the same accent (the one Genta has in RHPS)

- Frank is not a prince (yet)

- The galaxy of Transylvania - along with a few others - exist in the Vania section of the universe. There is one other known section known as Mania.
