Character Development

  Maxie:  At the beginning of my book Maxie was Arran's second in command.  Maxie is now the leader of the Waitrose kids but still doesn't have as much power as David does at the palace.  She used to be scared of the grown ups and scared of losing her friends but she is now not fearful and is angry at the grown ups for what they have done.  After Arran died somebody had to step up.  At first Maxie was scared to take command but Blue convinced her that everyone needed a leader to follow, and Maxie was the only choice.  She rises to the challenge when one presents itself to lead.

  Achilleus:  Achilleus hasn't changed at all since the beginning of the story.  In the beginning he was  a big tough guy who was good at fighting.  He didn't have any good relationships with any of the other children, he would keep to himself and defend everyone if he had to.  Later in the book he is mainly unchanged.  He still keeps to himself, does as he is told and protects everyone  if they are under attack.

  Arran:  Arran was the brave leader of the waitrose kids.  He was smart, brave, strong and kind.  He was always looking out for everyone and keeping everyone together.  He was going to lead all of the kids to the palace safely until they were overrun by a large pack of grown ups.  He was weak from a bite in his neck but fought and did everything he could to make sure no kid would die.  He fought until they forced the grown up back until he was hit in the lung with an arrow.  An accident, Arran lied on the ground in pain but kept the strength a will to push on.  Sadly Achilleus wanted to speed things up and pulled the arrow out which killed Arran.  He died a brave fighter in battle and would have kept everyone alive at all costs.

  David:  All though we don't know much about David Ollie thinks everything at the palace isn't as he made it out to be.  He wants to gain power over London using the dead royal family.  They don't have as much food as they need to feed all of the new children.  David also wants to use Maxie and her friends to help him take over London.  David and his real intensions are unknown.
