TOA Tara Friends

Dear Diary,

I used to not have many friends. I have always had trouble meeting people because I am shy and not many people like the same books I like. But now that I am part of TOA, I have met many nice people who I am happy to call my Friends. Here is a list of them so that I will not forget when Christmas comes around.

Mark

Mark is the friend of mine I have known longest of all the people on this list. He owns a bookshop with some really neat and hard to find books and is always helping me out with finding interesting knowledge. He helped me find out about Dr. Vren's evil experiments for example! I do not know what I would do without him, he was the one who introduced me to TOA and got me my current job.

Zii

Agent Zii is my boss but he never is mean or yells at us. He has some really great mango iced tea he likes to sip on and sometimes he even shares. Sometimes he makes jokes I don't understand but he never makes me feel dumb for not getting them. Except he calls me Pokey and I don't like that very much. Anyways, he put our team together and is always helping us when we get stuck. He is very funny!

Lucy

Lucy is not exactly my friend because I don't know her very well. She is always doing things just perfectly, except for some reason when she is around Lily. It makes me a little bit nervous because I can never be that perfect. Anyways she is always very kind so hopefully someday I will get to know her better.

Diiman

His actual name is Joseph Dimanche but everyone calls him Diiman since that is his acting name. He is in a ton of movies like Live and Let Explode and Big Shiny Guns and Guns in Space. I was so surprised when I found out he worked for TOA! I thought he would be mean and stuck up since he is so famous and good looking but really he is very nice. When I was very upset about Henry he and Ceelie came over with a big movie screen and popcorn. Diiman likes guns and cute things and talking about himself, and his car too. He drives too fast but otherwise is great.

Ceelie

Ceelie looks like a little blue doll- she is just six inches tall and is just sooooo cute! She can fly around with her little pixie wings and has very good telepathy. She acts like the center of our group when we are moving in different places, it is so useful. Also since she is so young she is very virtuous, so it is easier for me to talk to her than some of the others. I like her a lot. She lives with Diiman and rides on his shoulder or in a pocket a lot.

Lily

Lily is the computers expert of our little team, I think maybe there is nothing she cannot do with them! She is very good at finding things out with her computer and at stopping big computerized weapons that are trying to attack us. And she is good at Tetris. But she is not very good at being nice, she is always saying little mean things and just being not very nice. I am trying hard to like her though and it seems like she is getting a little bit nicer as she gets to know us more.

Viveka

Viveka looks a little bit scary, she is a doppelganger and has some trouble making herself nice looking to other people. But despite it she is actually very nice and knows a lot about cooking. She is also really good at fighting people but is shy about crowds. I would like to get to know her better but I think that will have to be when we are not working, she is never very comfortable even around our size of group.

Li

Li is a very handsome red and gold Drakk. He is very strong and very calm, because he actually has a very fierce temper he has to control very carefully. I think he is just amazing, always so soft spoken and working so hard to make himself even better. We found him in a monastery where he has lived I think his whole life, so it is strange for him to rejoin the rest of the world but he is making his way. He also does calligraphy but sometimes (a lot) he breaks the quill! He is the only one other than Ceelie who is always virtuous, well except when he gets in a bad temper. I like having him around.

Lorai

Lorai is President Darco of DDC's little daughter. She is so so cute! We helped to protect her when the DDC trade show was attacked by a bunch of people... including Mistic! Oh that made me so mad! Lorai likes to play with blocks and to help her daddy with his speeches.

Edrey

I am not sure whether Edrey count as a friend, but he did help me find out more about Dr. Vren and Pandemonium so I will put him on this list! He was the first Fate Weaver I ever met and he really liked disco. He liked it so much that when I first met him I could not help but dance. Later I was very embarrassed at how I acted. Anyways, he is a fun person but a little bit too forceful in making other people dance when maybe they are too shy to!

Lebrek

Lebrek is one of the most friendly people I think ever! He works at the bookstore coffee shop at the Soho Mall and he makes really great coffee. Also, he is a Qi-Zan, so sometimes he knows what I am thinking and just naturally answers it. But since I am used to Ceelie I really do not mind. Though he is a little embarrassed about it so I try to pretend I do not notice. Anyways when the mall went crazy (we still do not know why) he got hurt by some total jerk kids and I healed him, so I hope I will see him more in the future. Also he helped me pick out great books.

Well, that is all for now! Hopefully I will meet even more nice people and make even more friends.
