Swiftriver by Patricia Lupien

Bowie Swiftriver

Birthday: August 1st (assumed)

Height: 6’3″

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Green

Bowie is a professional thief. That is, he was a professional thief until a job went horribly wrong. Not only did he find himself hanging several stories about the ground, but he also started seeing things. Thinking that he was cracking under pressure, he went back home to Boston.

Bowie tends to be charming, impulsive, and hedonistic. He often acts before thinking things through which is why he’s best friends with Miranda, who tends to be the voice of reason. He’s a big Red Sox fan, even when the team is losing.

Miranda Spadafore

Birthday: June 14th

Height: 5’3″

Hair: Dark brown (natural), Burgandy and black with Fuschia stripe (dyed)

Eyes: Brown

Miranda has been Bowie’s best friend since she was fourteen. She’s always seen him as a kid brother that doesn’t know he needs to be protected. She speaks her mind, and is known to have a terrible temper when angered. Miranda is responsible and organized and tries to get Bowie to think more about his actions. Currently, she’s working as a bartender while she puts herself through grad school for physical therapy.

Rev. C. J. Riley

Birthday: December 7th

Height: 6’1″

Hair: Grey (originally brown)

Eyes: Blue

Riley is Bowie’s adoptive father. He’s kind, giving, and an asset to the church community. But like many priests, he somehow managed to raise a wild child. He tries not to judge when it comes to Bowie’s choice of profession, justifying it with the fact that Christ hung out with prostitutes and tax collectors on a regular basis.

Geoffrey Thune

Birthday: March 21st

Height: 7’4″ (as troll), 5’7″ (glamoured)

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Brown

Geoff is a quiet, gentle and unassuming type of fellow. In fact he’d be perfectly boring if he wasn’t Trollish-American.  By day, he works as a computer programmer in Boston’s Financial district, and he doesn’t have much of a social life outside of work. He lives above his grandmother in a duplex in Dorchester. He feels he owes both Bowie and Miranda his life since they rescued him from the clutches of a giant spider lady, and will bend over backwards to make sure that debt is repaid.
