I mostly enjoyed Tendai, because he was super nice, and cared about Martine.
I think that Martine learned the hardest lessons, because she was discovering what her gift really was, and she had to go through lots of hardships.
Ben changed the most, because he was super quiet and never talked at school, until Martine came along. He started talking to her, and they became best friends.
I was surprised that Gwen Thomas turned out to be really nice to Martine, because she didn't show it at first.”
