THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNUM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
RONA LISA PERETTI: The number-one realtor in Putnam County, a former Putnam County Spelling Bee Champion herself, and returning moderator.
VICE PRINCIPAL DOUGLAS PANCH: After five years' absence from the Bee, Panch returns as judge. He is infatuated with Rona Lisa Peretti, but she does not return his affections.
MITCH MAHONEY: The Official Comfort Counselor. An ex-convict, Mitch is performing his community service with the Bee.
OLIVE OSTROVSKY: A young newcomer to competitive spelling. Olive is shy but has a big heart. She is an only child with often-absent parents and made friends with her dictionary at a very young age.
WILLIAM MORRIS BARFEE: A Putnam County Spelling Bee finalist last year, his famous Magic Foot method of spelling has boosted him to spelling glory.
LOGAINNE SCHWARZY SCHWARTZENGRUBENIERRE: Logainne is the youngest and most politically aware speller. She is somewhat of a neat freak and speaks with a lisp.
MARCY PARK: The ultimate over-achiever, Marcy has never been given another option. Her many talents include musical instruments, dance, martial arts, baton, etc., and is getting very tired of always winning. She is also not allowed to cry.
LEAF CONEYBEAR: A homeschooler and the second runner-up in his district. Leaf's family thinks he is not that smart, but he insinuates that he is merely easily distracted and he delights in his own wandering focus.
CHARLITO CHIP TOLENTINO: Champion of the Twenty-Fourth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Chip returns to defend his title. He is a proud boy scout and is on the verge of “adult feelings.”
2 SWINGS: Characters will double as parents, siblings, etc in flashback/fantasy sequences.
