Faculty and Staff at Holy Question Mark

• Miss LaVonne Adamson, professional gallery artist, 'guest instructor' in the art department. Usually teaches one course a semester just because she likes mentoring kids
• Nurse Elois Beckett - School Nurse. Not fond of Ms Hyle. Ms Beckett the receptionist's fraternal twin sister
• Ms. Katheryn Beckett - A receptionist. Her fraternal twin sister works as the school nurse, but they're easy to tell apart
• Mrs. Pamela Brett, school secretary/Deans' Office receptionist, who knows many secrets
• Mr. Chihak, studio art teacher
• Dr. Peter Evans teaches World Politics and AP US History; he does not accept homework by email, only hardcopy in a box on his desk
• Dr. Henry - Physics teacher
• Ms. Dian Hyle - Physical Education instructor. Known to students as "Hyle Hitler"
• Ms. Renata Márquez - A porter from Physical Plant. Lugged Maple's shiny new robot up to her dorm room. Maple thinks she and Ms Beckett would make a cute couple~

• Ms. Maria Quintona, sculpture teacher. Has a cool facial scar she claims she acquired in a knife fight. "Don't duel drunk kids."

Students at Holy Question Mark

• Daisy Alders - From a very new-age-y family, believes in healing crystals and other such things, paints mostly abstracted floral motifs and claims to be able to see auras and likes to pant “soul portraits” of her friends. Definitely not in Advanced Spirituality. A little deluded but very nice.
• Princess Sakeena bint Hakim al-Nizari is one of the stars of Advanced Spirituality class. Cleave saved her life from vampires once.
• Selim bin Abdallah al-Saud is part-ifrit and thinks he's Allah's best and brightest boy.
• John "Bay-Bay" Bayer is an obnoxious bully, perpetually on Friday Evening Inconvenience for being disruptive, but good enough at dancing the line of what's acceptable that Deans' Council has never mustered the resolve to suspend or expel him. Best of enemies with Assistant Dean Healey.
• Soraya Beane is MG's (former) roommate, a biracial Black/Iranian girl who's into computer game design and collecting plushes.
• Kennedy Brookens is Maple's (former) roommate. They don't talk. This arrangement seems to suit them both just fine.
• Bradley Calloway sent Maple an unsolicited dick pic.
• Patrick "Corky" Corcoran III is the son of Sen. Patrick Corcoran Jr. (D.—MA). Friendly guy, openly gay but not swishy. Aspires to be a Broadway actor, triple-threat.
• Gwendolyn Cuvin was Maple's roommate freshman year. A wealthy, snobbish bully with a gang of sycophantic minions.
• Himari Ikeda - Diplomat's daughter, on the newspaper staff. Comes off as very stoic and serious but her and Maple's text history is 70% pictures of cats and terrible, terrible memes.
• Kamala Kaur - Shy, painter, wants to do sets on Broadway, listens to so. many. showtunes. Mother is upper management in a large shipping company. Does not care for Bollywood films, tired of people asking about it. Friends with Corky through shared interests.
• Nico(las) Orlov - Very good draftsman, spends most of his time making obsessively detailed cutaway illustrations of dungeons and castles for his D&D campaign, plus the occasional (supposedly) ironic cheesy wizard portrait
• Rittney (no B) Margolis is Kennedy Brookens's best friend.
• Liz Pardew, senior, cheerleading team captain who takes cheer very seriously.
• Ari Roth - Really likes statistics and strategy, go-to sports writer for the paper. Keeps kosher and usually sits with Maple, Kamala and a gaggle of other nerds with various dietary restrictions at lunch
• George Shepard puked in gym class. Ew :c
• Boris Smith is Cleave's (former) roommate and a completely insufferable nerd
• Kate Tessio is all about magic—not that boring sorcerer-y stuff, real magic, the rapidly dying art of misdirection, smoke, mirrors, trap doors and wires. She is on the school activity council, which she promotes like a fiend because she's always trying to have talent shows where she can get people to watch her stuff. She's really good. She isn't doing well in her classes, but her rich parents love the school's religious philosophy so they keep Kate in despite iffy grades.
