Blair Delaney
Blair is Whitney’s best friend and it hasn’t been easy. She has endured starving through wilderness survival camps and rigorous kung fu training with Mr. Parks–ideas Whitney’s father described as “fun.”
Through it all, Blair has proven her ability to hold fast and to be mentally tough. She can absorb pain and suffering but keeps going by focusing her mind on the fact that things will be better tomorrow. When the chips are down, Blair has been known to look at Whitney and laugh, “Well, at least it can’t get worse!”
Like Whitney, she is also trained as a kung fu Shaolin panther stylist. Blair has mastered techniques that involve deception, stalking and long-term planning. She is an incredible illusionist who helps Whitney blend into a normal life while making sure evidence to the contrary vanishes. Blair enjoys being inventive and resourceful. She never goes anywhere without a bag or backpack filled with first aid, duct tape, a flashlight and her Swiss army knife. She is gifted at her ability to memorize and recall information as well as bricolage: the art of building things from whatever materials are available.
Blair is tall and has shoulder-length chestnut ringlets and Irish green eyes. Her cohesive Catholic family always has a place set at the table for Whitney. Blair’s older sister, Eileen, is always slightly amused by Whitney and Blair’s antics and keeps a watchful eye out for both of them.
Patrick O’Riordan
Reid’s affable best friend and fellow teammate, he looks like he just caught a wave in from Hawaii. His bronze tan makes his brilliant blue eyes even brighter and his curly blond hair is always too long. Patrick’s clothes are as easy-going as his demeanor and he has an affinity for indoor soccer shoes, baggy jeans and International soccer t-shirts.
Always willing to help out when he can, his quiet personality is often overshadowed by Reid’s larger-than-life presence. Hard working and independent, this shy computer genius earns his gas money for his pick-up truck as a waiter at PoFolks Restaurant and is the object of Blair’s affections.
