And the second half of our character sheets for the upcoming Crossroads: Tales from the 7th Restricted District comics, this time featuring some of our other characters tied to Laurina and her world.

Marcia is Laurina's crush from the comic, Filling Loneliness. A young, deer-type Otherkind living outside of the 7th Restricted District, Marcia is working on her degree in Applied Theoretical Physics at Crossroads University, and has special permission to enter the 7th to do the research she needs for her degree. Marcia is convinced that she can help Laurina break free of her voracious habits, and is determined to do so, even if it puts herself in danger.

Missan lives in the same apartment building as Laurina, and has her fingers (and her teeth) in all manner of dirty deeds and shady business. She particularly pleases herself on recruiting other would-be predators into her pack, shaping sometimes ordinary people into absolute monsters-- and her eyes have been lingering on Laurina for some time now...

Shoso is Missan oft-put-upon roommate, who owes much of her survival in the dangerous 7th to her dedication to honing her body into a physical powerhouse. Though she never hesitates to offer help to others, she never seems to give up much about herself, and many who know her wonder why she tolerates Missan and the stress and abuse she heaps upon her. Something in her seems guarded, something that runs deeper than simply the instinct to survive.
