Relationships
Lissette Loisel: Thomas' closest friend in and out of school. Meeting through many differences, their relationship has become much stronger, and Lissette has allowed his eyes to be opened to many things he would never have seen otherwise.
Alexis Malfoy (NPC): A girl of the same year that makes it her sole ambition to upset Thomas through Lissette, though he has to go very careful what he does say around the girl, with them being of equal status.
Mycah: The farm hand that Thomas threatened in the first week of school after being beaten in a bet on brooms. The boys now understand one another a little better, though Mycah insists on his formalities. Mycah is someone Thomas feels he can confide almost anything with.
Loras Loisel: Thomas met Loras at the wedding he went to down river, and it soon became apparent that Loras ruled Lissette's world. He made an agreement with the older boy to protect his sister, though it didn't stand for more than a week, Thomas had since vowed to do all he could to make sure he could keep to it, and control his anger. Thomas looks up to Loras, both in awe and fear.
Lynnette Loisel: Lynnette took to Thomas from the moment they met, and he likes to treat her like a little sister. The girl calls him "Prince", much to Thomas' amusement. On first meeting he gave the girl money enough to buy herself a present and will try to make the little girl's life as comfortable as he can without upsetting either Lissette or her mother.
Selyse Florent: A girl who has taken to Thomas from the beginning of second year after his triumphant ride in his fathers tourney. She likes to put herself in Thomas' way so that his attention is on her.
Gabriella Peverell: Though the pair talk little, Thomas likes the girl, and knows that the friendship between Lissette and her are as fierce as any. Gabby has been known to stand up in defence of both Lissette and himself, and he admires her bravery.
Most significant Event
Lissette taking Thomas to a downriver wedding was the most significant point of the year. He learned how Lissette's family lived and the different kind of ceremony that took place than that of the one he was accustomed to. The wedding also opened his eyes, after he was scolded for telling Lynnette stories that were deemed inappropriate and for meeting Old Man Hobb in his house of squalor. It allowed Thomas to see a different view of the land he thought he knew so well.
