Dreamwalk Journal/Characters

CHARACTERS APPEARING IN THE MAIN DREAMWALK JOURNAL STORYLINE
(Roughly in order of appearance)

Danny
A female human from Earth who finds herself in Cyeatea via "dreamwalking". Of the two humans she seems the more responsible and level-headed. Later revealed to be an avatar of a honeybee named Damiana (or vice versa).
 * Author Avatar: Danny and Damiana are based on Kishma Danielle.
 * Naked on Arrival: Doesn't matter, though, since (apart from waistbelts) everyone on Cyeatea goes naked.

Fleur
Human female, Danny's traveling companion and lover. Somewhat impulsive and accident-prone.
 * The Klutz: somewhat.
 * Naked on Arrival
 * Nice Hat: Fleur's baseball cap, one of a number of small items the women are able to bring with them while dreamwalking.

Theta
Male honeybee, one of Danny and Fleur's guides on their journeys. Behind-the-scenes material on the original (deleted) website reveals him to be an avatar of Danny's male human lover Johnathon.
 * Author Avatar: Theta and Johnathon are based on Ed Kline.

Amianthus (Ammie) and Cleome
Female laceweb spiders, a mother and daughter hunting team, who accompany Danny and Fleur for part of their journey.

SueMac
Female fire wasp. Joins Danny and Fleur's group after saving Danny's life, and explains how wasps can forcibly introduce their prey to the joys of surrogate motherhood.

Canubis
A male giant dragonfly. About the size of a football field, he gives our heroes a lift to Helianthus Hive inside his head.
 * Heli Critter

Queen Leonurus
Female honeybee, Queen of Helianthus Hive. A wise, dedicated and responsible leader, but that doesn't mean she can't let her hair down and have fun from time to time.
 * Buxom Is Better: Many Cyeatean females have big breasts, but Leonurus takes the prize. Whether that had any influence on her becoming queen is unknown.

Leonurus's Council
Three male and three female honeybees who sit alongside Leonurus's throne when in session.
 * Bald of Awesome: Council members are required to shave their heads, to prove they are willing to put the Hive before personal possessions.

Dill
Female honeybee, chief scientist of Helianthus. Rather short as honeybees go, she takes great delight in scientific discovery. Danny and Fleur are amused when she examines their bodies as if they were under a microscope.
 * Nerd
 * Nerd Glasses: She is the only Cyeatean character to date seen wearing spectacles. Given her position it's quite possible they may contain some kind of high-tech gadgetry.

Sourroot
A female spider paralyzed by SueMac in order to incubate Suemac's egg. (This won't harm her - just give her more pleasure than she can handle.)

(Unnamed)
A female redlip ant who would hav been Sourroot's "guest" if SueMac hadn't intervened.

Dulcamara and Cebolla
A female spider and a female fly, supervisor and assistant at a way-station. (The pairing of a spider and a fly in a cooperative relationship later became the basis for The Widow/Nightshade the Merry Widow.)

Spiders and Poppers at Predator Row
Respectively, a group of spider teachers who cast webs in an area of Helianthus Hive, and their honeybee students (roughly equivalent to human teenagers) who have to try to avoid getting caught by them.
