--- Quote from: Priscellie on December 05, 2007, 01:27:05 AM ---For starters, what are your standards on "Minor Characters"? XD
Anyway, Rawlins' first appearance is in Dead Beat and I believe Stallings first appears in Grave Peril, not Fool Moon. And Bianca first shows up in Storm Front.

Where does Bianca appear in Storm Front? I think that she is mentioned in there, but not actually encountered....
I would have to read the whole story to find it, and you might be able to answer quicker than I can find it.
=============================================================================================================
Humm, I suppose that I now have three terms - Least Character - Minor Character - Major Character.
Although Spike played the part of "Thug's Aid" in Storm front and "Dead Clue Person" in Fool Moon, he was forever a Least Character.
Someone that Harry was aware of, but did not really affect him much.
I suppose that I would consider a Minor Character someone that Harry interacts with more then once, but does not really have a lot of impact on Harry - or the Story.
Harry encounters the Carpenter Family as a Whole (I forget which book) - Molly as a Minor Character in Death Masks, and Molly as a Major Character in Proven Guilty.
I would also say that Charity is a Least Character until Proven Guitly, where as the Minor Character of Avenging Mother she rocks!!
But, does her status change to Major Character? I would say, "Not yet."
As for Rawlings - You are forgetting the Battle of S.I. in Fool Moon - where everyone went up against the Loup Garu.
We met a lot of the Characters that were supporting Murphy in the Fight Against the Monsters.
They may not have had much mention, but they were there. Like being Least Characters, promoted to Minor Characters when the Story focused on them.
A bit extreeme on the point, but the Q was - "When is the first time you see these people?"
Major Characters are those that we see interacting with Harry a lot, and make an impact on him, and the Story.
Like with Nicodemus - although Harry only encountered him in Death Masks, Old Nick really made Harry realize the Truth of his Life, and face those facts. Old Nick changed Harry - and not just because he gave Lashiel to him.
As for Lashiel, I would have to say that Harry keeps her as a Minor Character; someone that is there, but does not control him - or change the Story.
=============================================================================================================
Now - my Question would be do we list each catagory - Least Characters - Minor Characters - and Major Characters?
I don't know if I would want to list every Character that Harry has ever encountered.
Priscellie:
I think you're taking this particular trivia question a bit further than it needs to go. :D
As for Rawlins (not Rawlings), he wasn't in SI at that time, and he is not mentioned by name until Dead Beat. Micky Malone, who we learn in Grave Peril took part in the battle with the loup-garou, isn't mentioned by name either. Your question is about appearance, and being mentioned by name (or description, as Ramirez is in Summer Knight) is the only way of judging that.
As for listing every character that Harry has ever encountered, you'd only be reinventing the wheel. Just wait until the RPG comes out... *drools*

Bianca is introduced very early into the first book. Chapter 9 to be precise

Interesting.
And I also nerviously await said RPG......
Shandra:
How about a list of characters that have been seen (mentioned by name) in 3 or more books.... That would create a list of characters significant enough for a slightly more than average fan could have a chance of naming. :)
