THE ARMSTRONGS

One of the four remaining Armstrong boys, and Maggie's father. Standing around 5 feet 10 inches tall, he's around 45 years of age. He has dark auburn hair and a well-trimmed beard with steel blue eyes that darken when he's angry or worried. Known on the Borders as Red Rabbie, he gets a twitch over his left eye when serious. 

Robert's nineteen year old daughter. Like her father, she has deep auburn hair, but her eyes are a dark honey brown, though they still hold her father's spark. She has fair skin and is petite, standing only about 5 feet tall, but she has her father's spirit. When she smiles, a dimple appears in her right cheek, and when she crosses her arms across her chest and tilts her head, she looks like her mother.

Robert's eldest brother and laird of the clan.  He's a bit heavy around the middle but still a sturdy man with light brown hair and a straggly beard that always seems to be in need of a trim. Though his eyes are blue, they're not quite as bright as Robert's.

Robert's younger brother by a year or so. He has light brown hair and blue eyes and bears an uncanny resemblance to Robert, though he has a calmer disposition than either of his older brothers. There is still a bit of the rebel in him, however. Risking March Treason, he married an Englishwoman, Marion Hetherington.  

The youngest of the four brothers.  He has dark brown hair and pale blue eyes.

Geordie's youngest and only living son.  Though only sixteen years of age, he's old enough to ride with his family on a raid. He has dark brown hair and dark chestnut eyes with flecks of gold.

Constance or Connie is Geordie's eldest daughter. Just three years older than her brother, Alasdair, she has hazel eyes and sandy blond hair.  A bit taller than her cousin, Maggie, she stands 5 feet 2 inches tall.  

With dark hair and hickory brown eyes, Geordie's wife, Emma is a comely woman in her late forties, who knows just how to handle her gruff husband. 

Andy Armstrong's English wife and Betty Foster's niece. Though she still has ties to her Foster kin, her loyalty lies with her husband. She has dark brown eyes and hair the color of wheat.  

The mother of Geordie and his three brothers. Though up in years with a petite form, she's still more than a match for her sons. She has steel blue eyes like her son Robert and silver gray hair.

One of Geordie's younger daughters.  At only 13 years old, she longs to grow into a beautiful young lady.

Geordie's youngest daughter. She's only 10 years old.

Robert's twentieth-century friend and the man who started it all off. Edward is average height, just a smidge taller than Robert. He's in his mid-forties with sandy blond hair, though hints of gray have begun to show through. He is clean-shaven with soft green eyes.

Heidsman of the Foster family, Graham is still vibrant in his mid-sixties.  His once brown hair is now salt and pepper, as is his beard, but his eyes are still bright azure blue with a youthful twinkle. His ears go pink when he's losing his patience or angry, and he plucks at his beard when thinking. If he begins doing it when his ears grow pink, his children know they'd better start telling the truth.

Graham's youngest son, and at twenty years old, his father's biggest headache. Nicknamed Bonnie Will by his older brothers, he has steel blue eyes that darken at the edge and sandy blond hair.

Graham's eldest son and Will's eldest brother.   He has chestnut hair; a short, neatly trimmed beard; and the eyes of a hawk, with a disposition to match. His eyes are a dusky blue, and he watches over will like the aforementioned hawk. The moment Will was born, he designated himself Will's second father. He lives in a bastle house not far from his father's tower, and is known on the Borders as M'laird's Walt.

Graham's eldest daughter and the wife of Thomas Carnaby.. She watches over Will the same as her older brother, Walt. Though gray has begun to streak her brown hair, her hazel eyes are still sharp, and she still retains a youthful figure. 

Graham's youngest child and daughter. Just nineteen years old, she's 5 foot tall with hair a mixture of gold and bronze. Her eyes are deep blue, the color of the sky just before dusk.

Graham's wife and Will's mother. Though her hair has gone a silver gray, her gray-blue eyes hold a hint of lavender, and her skin still retains a youthful glow.. She's the aunt of Andy Armstrong's wife, Marion.

Graham's second eldest son. He's married with a family and lives in a bastle house not far from his father's peel tower.

Graham's third son. Like his brother Duncan, he's married with a family and lives in a bastle house not far from his father's peel tower. 

Graham's fourth son. He's single and still lives at the peel tower with his parents.

Graham's next to youngest son. He's unmarried and together with his brothers, Dennis and Will, still lives at home with his parents.

Graham's younger brother who lives up near the Kershope Burn. With graying hair and blue eyes, he looks much like his older brother.  He's married to Joan Selby, a cousin to Graham's wife Betty and an aunt to Andy Armstrong's wife Marion.

Graham's youngest living brother.  Like his brother, Richie, he's married with a family and lives over toward Bewcastle.

Maggie Armstrongs's twentieth century friend. Dylan is around 23 years old and a graduate student. With wavy black hair and blue eyes, he's earned himself a reputation as a bit of a rogue.

A distant relative of Graham's wife Betty, he's a sleazy weasel of a man, who just manages to retain his place in the clan. In truth, he's just one step above a broken man. 

The eldest son of Hob Rutherford, a neighbor of Geordie Armstrong. Ian has hair the color of burnished copper and deep green eyes. Though handsome and charming on the outside, he has a darker side as well as a nervous tic that causes his cheek to flutter at the most inopportune times.

Ian's father and laird of the clan, he's a neighbor to Geordie Armstrong.  Not an attractive man, he has broken, jagged teeth and a scar that pulls his mouth into a perpetual grin. Red lines mar his green eyes, and his red hair is dull and greasy. He tends to have a nasty side and an over-inflated sense of self-importance.

Hob's second son, not as attractive as his older brother Ian, his eyes are more hazel and his hair dirty blond.

The youngest and least attractive of Hob's sons. His green eyes are watery and his hair too bright a red to be attractive. 

Hob's only daughter, a plain girl, who might be fairly attractive if given half the chance. She has golden blond hair and sea green eyes.

One of the Deputy Warden's Land Sergeants, Richie is a cousin to Reynold Carnaby, Cuthbert Carnaby, and Mary Foster's Husband, Tom Carnaby.

The husband of Mary Foster and Will's brother-in-law.  He's also a cousin to Richie, Reynold, and Cuthbert Carnaby.

The Keeper of Tynedale and elder brother to Cuthbert Carnaby. He is a cousin to Richie and Tom Carnaby.

Younger brother of Reynold Carnaby, he fills in for his brother as Keeper when Reynold is away, which is often. He's also a cousin to Richie and Tom Carnaby.
