These are minor characters in [[Isabel Hoffman]] and [[Nicki Hoffman]]'s series.


==Adam Lin==

Ari's older brother, who is twelve.

==Ari Lin==

A new friend of Nicki's, who also skateboards and has been doing so for a long time. She has straight black hair and is about Nicki's age. She has an older brother named Adam.

Ari is the first friend Nicki makes, when she compliments Nicki on doing a flippy uppy, and introduces her to the other kids at the skate park including Gregory, Shredward, and Crunch. She doesn't mind falling when trying new tricks, saying falling is the best way to learn, and practicing in the grass makes things easier.

Ari introduces Nicki to making zines and how to make her own; she learned from her cousin, who's in college in Olympia.

When Nicki turns her ankle, Ari helps keep her calm.

==Blossom==

Nicki's chocolate Lab puppy, who was adopted during the first night of Hanukkah. She is named after Blossom from ''The Powerpuff Girls''. Nicki is trying to teach her how to ride a skateboard. She steals al kinds of snacks, but shouldn't eat Cheez Balls as she then vomits them up.

==Mr. Brallier==

Isabel's fourth grade teacher. He wears glasses. His rule is that any note passed in class is always read out loud.

He intercepts the note Tiffany passes Isabel, reading aloud that Quinn was supposed to call before school and tell Isabel she was kicked out of the dance group.

==Ms. Bruce==

Nicki's fourth grade teacher. Her classroom is on the second floor.

==Buffy==

Isabel's calico kitten, who was adopted during the first night of Hanukkah. She is named after the titular character of ''Buffy, The Vampire Slayer.'' She likes to climb up on the curtains and sit high.

==Cammy==

A self-centered, rude fifth grade girl who takes over Isabel's friend group because of Quinn. She is tall, has dark hair and always wears the trendiest clothes. She takes advanced dance classes, and spends recess practicing ballet and tap dance. Cammy is mean, rude, and condescending; once when Isabel tried to join her dancing, Cammy laughed and said she didn't know a plié from an arabesque.

Cammy shows up at Isabel's house when Isabel is trying to convince her friends they should perform as the Spice Girls (and hoping they can together persuade Nicki to be Sporty). She calls Isabel's Baby Spice outfit "sparkly," then mocks her more by saying she hasn't worn pigtails since the first grade. When Quinn says she's agreed to dance with them, Cammy makes sure to clarify that it's ''only'' for the Millennium celebration. when Tori points out Buffy (and pets her) Cammy says she's allergic to cats--then says that the truth is she just doesn't like them. She calls the Baby Bottle Pops Isabel has set out "baby candy", then takes over the dance practice, demanding Isabel stand at the end of the line and starting off by showing off a complicated dance move that ends in her doing the splits even in jeans.

She puts on her N*SYNC CD and teaches a new dance Isabel doesn't get the steps of. Isabel accidentally steps on her foot in the process. Cammy acts injured, saying her foot is hurt and she hopes it heals before her ballet class.

While playing Truth or Dare, Cammy dares Tori--who she calls Lori--to go through Isabel's closet and make up the ugliest outfit she can find. She sees the clothes and calls the closet half sparkle city and half weirdo town. She is interested when she heads Isabel has a twin, but then says they're not "real" twins when she learns they're fraternal instead of identical. She calls Isabel's clothes over the top and baby-ish, makes fun of how her and Nicki's room is decorated with the teddy bear wallpaper border, and calls Nicki's clothes "the freak zone" after Tori pulls out the outfit she was dared to do.

She persuades Quinn to eject Isabel from the dance group, saying Isabel is too uncoordinated, claiming she's not a good enough dancer and not coordinated and they need to do what's best for for the group and the millennium.

Isabel runs into her and the others while carrying a style-idea board V has helped her design. Cammy mocks Isabel for not being in the group anymore, calls her style board flashy and Isabel "a lot", and laughs at her as if she's a weirdo.

Cammy later comes into Coffeegarden holding a cup from the new coffee shop in town. She brags about coming from the group's millennium performance dance practice, mocks Kat's style board (and style, calling hers old and Isabel's babyish) and when Kat looks like she's about to cry, Isabel stands up for both of them. Cammy leaves as if not offended, but not without buying a cookie anyways.

At the Coffeegarden Millennium Celebration, Quinn, Tori, and Tiffany admit that they let Cammy boss them around because of their nervousness with performing at the planned Seattle Millennium celebration. When Isabel asks if she came to the Coffegarden celebration, Quinn tells her that Cammy ditched them as soon as the Millennium Celebration was cancelled, and Tiffany says she likely just wanted a chance to dance on stage.

==Crunch==

A boy who skateboards. He has short cropped blonde hair. "Crunch" is his skater name; his real name is not revealed.

==Gregory==

A black boy who Nicki makes friends with; he skateboards. His brother is Shredward.

==Mr. Grimley==

Gregory and Shredward's grumpy neighbor. He has greying hair and glasses. He owns a shiny car and has a pager. He doesn't want anyone using skateboards on his property or getting close to his lawn, and Shredward warns Nicki when she comes over.

While Nicki and the other skater kids are practicing tricks, he pulls up in his car and gets out, wearing a business suit. He shouts at them, saying they'd better not be using "those things" (their skateboards) on his property. He calls them troublemakers and that their "contraptions" should be illegal before his pager beeps and he rushes into his house.

==Mrs. Hughes==

A librarian that Nicki and Isabel have known since they were little and she read to her and Isabel at toddler story time.

When she sees Nicki struggling with the copy machine to make flyers for the Coffeegarden Millennium celebration and learns there's a book drive as part of it, she puts in her access code and the copies are made for free. She then sees the zine Nicki has made, proclaims her a writer and having written a book, and makes copies of it for Nicki for free again--a hundred.

==Jack==

Kat's older brother. He works at Pizza Hut.

When Isabel is dared to call Pizza Hut and order a pickle and seaweed pizza, he plays long, asking if she wants a personal pan pizza or large, and if she wants snails on it--making her react with disgust and hang up.

==Jessica==

A fifth-grader at Nicki and Isabel's school who uses a wheelchair and becomes Nicki's friend. She has blonde hair. She's very "smiley" and friendly according to Nicki. She likes to play Zelda on the Nintendo 64. Her wheelchair is decorated with butterfly clips. She can do tricks in her chair, such as popping wheelies and a 360 tire spin.

Nicki first meets her when needing to use the elevator due to her sprained ankle. They talk on the slow elevator ride, and Nicki invites her to the skate spot to practice her spins. Jessica is initially nervous, asking if the other kids will let her--Nicki assures her they will, and Jessica writes her number in Nicki's Trapper Keeper. Before she goes to her classroom she calls Nicki's purple streaks cool.

==Kat==

A new friend of Isabel's. She has short light brown hair.

Kat loves vintage fashion and crafting, has a dog named Franny, and is in another fourth grade class that isn't either Isabel's or Nicki's. She and her family recently moved in with her grandmother, Virginia. She considers her style eclectic, and her favorite style is flowy, flowery, and old-timey. Her AIM screenname is KatChup.

Isabel meets her when walking Blossom ( after being forced out of the friend group with Tori, Tiffany, and Quinn and her disastrous redecoration of her and Nicki's bedroom). and they later go shopping at ''V's Vintage'' When she hears about Cammy, she thinks she's the kind of girl whose favorite color is gray and favorite flavor is plain.

She helps Isabel redecorate her and Nicki's room after Isabel's disastrous makeover.

When Cammy (at Coffeegarden) mocks her style, calling it old, Kat nearly cries. This pushes Isabel to stand up to Cammy's rudeness.

==Mel==

A barista at Coffeegarden. She's Isabel's favorite one.

When Isabel is there by herself, Mel asks where Nicki is, and that Nicki is usually glued to her side. She also says business is slow because of a new popular coffee shop opening nearby.

==Olivia==

A Black girl who plays tennis. She wants to be as good as Serena or Venus Williams someday.

She asks Isabel to join her while she's spying on Nicki, and encourages her to play; this gets Isabel into enjoying tennis.

==Quinn==

Isabel's best friend initially. She has brown hair and tan skin. She became friends with Isabel in second grade when she announced they should play Spice Girls; she is always Posh Spice. Quinn has no indoor voice (she says she has a "huge secret" while in the video store loud enough to be overheard easily). Her favorite snack is Doritos 3D. She can do a handstand, which often is the big moment of their group dances (until Cammy comes along).

During their first attempt at dance practice, Quinn calls Buffy cute. When Isabel sees her brownie didn't cook, Quinn reacts with disgust and calls it soup. Isabel tries to offer her favorite snack but Blossom runs off with the chips.

After Nicki refused to be part of the Spice Girls group and left, Quinn suggested Nicki should be Ginger since Ginger had recently left the group--which upset Tori (who is always Ginger). After their first attempt at the dance, she yells to break and turns the music off, then says they need to work on the choreography. When Isabel protests Tiffany's question about doing the Spice Girls song they picked, Quinn says isabel didn't ask them what song they would do and Isabel chose on her own. She then says she's not into the Spice Girls much anymore and more into [[Wikipedia:NSYNC|NSYNC]] now, upsetting Isabel (who later confesses in her journal that she's more into Backstreet Boys), and that they should perform as them. She says she knows a fifth girl who is really good at dance and who can help them, and she's really good and they can plan the whole dance then.

She brings Cammy to Isabel's dance practice, since Cammy takes advanced dance and will dance with them, and begins to fawn over and defer to her because of it in hopes she'll improve their performance. As soon as Cammy says she doesn't like cats, Quinn hisses at Isabel to put Buffy away, making Isabel put Buffy in her mom's office. During Truth or Dare, when Cammy dares Tori to go through Isabel and Nicki's closet to find the ugliest outfit, Isabel balks and Quinn states that you can't undo a dare.

Later when they play MASH, Quinn chooses Isabel's options and by chance, this results in all bad results for Isabel.

She is present when Cammy goes through Nicki's closet and insults her taste in clothes on camera, calling it the "freak zone." She leaves behind a teal gel pen, which Isabel suspects is because she felt bad.

Quinn was supposed to call Isabel before school and tell her about being ejected from the dance group, but did not. She relates what Cammy said as the reasons to eject Isabel, then accuses Isabel of stealing the teal gel pen she'd left behind.

She is present but doesn't say anything as Cammy insults Isabel and her style board. When choosing partners in class for studying the the spelling test, she, Tiffany, and Tori group up and deliberately leave Isabel out.

She and the others come to the Coffeegarden Millennium celebration, and Quinn says she felt bad for letting Cammy kick her out of the group. She and the others say they were nervous about performing at the millennium celebration, which is why they let Cammy take over and boss them around. They admire Isabel for staying true to her style, and apologize for making fun of her and Nicki.

==Shredward==

A black boy who skateboards and Nicki makes friends with. "Shredward" is his skater name; his real name is not revealed. His brother is Gregory.

He gives Nicki the nickname "Tricky Nicki." When Nicki turns her ankle, he runs to get Dave while Ari keeps her calm.

==Tiffany==

One of Isabel's initial friends. She has brown skin, brown hair, and brown eyes and portrays Scary Spice when they play Spice Girls. She likes to say "Not!" a lot, as does Tori. She writes in bright blue gel pen.

During their first attempt at dance practice, Tiffany picks up Buffy and pets her. She and Tori later sit on Nicki, who is still in bed, and Tiffany apologizes to her.

During Truth or Dare, Tiffany dares Isabel to order a pickle and seaweed pizza. She later looks at the floor when Cammy calls Isabel's clothes babyish instead of defending her.

She passes a note to Isabel in class stating that she's sorry and she hopes Isabel understands, and she'll miss dancing with her, signing the note ''XOXO Tiffany''. The note is intercepted by their teacher Mr. Brailler, and he reads aloud that it's about Isabel being kicked out of the dance group. She later--with Quinn and Tori present--says that Isabel being kicked out is for the good of the millennium, then leaves with the other two.

She is present but doesn't say anything as Cammy insults Isabel and her new style board.

When choosing partners in class for studying the the spelling test, she, Tori, and Quinn group up and deliberately leave Isabel out.

She and the others come to the Coffeegarden celebration; they were nervous about performing at the millennium celebration, which is why they let Cammy take over and boss them around. They admire Isabel for staying true to her style, and apologize for making fun of her and Nicki.

==Tori==

One of Isabel's initial friends. She has red hair and when they play Spice Girls, she's always been Ginger Spice. She likes to say "Not!" a lot, as does Tiffany.

When Nicki refused to play with them and Quinn said she should be Ginger (since Ginger had left the group) Tori became upset, reminding them she's always Ginger. During the first practice attempt, Tiffany hits her in the back of the head. When Quinn states that they're all more into N*SYNC now, Tori mentions that she thinks Lance Bass is handsome.

Cammy dares her during Truth or Dare to go through Isabel's closet and pick out the ugliest outfit she can, calling Tori "Lori" in the process. Once Tori opens the closet since a dare can't be undone, Cammy insults the twins' taste in clothes on camera, calling it the "freak zone." When Isabel is informed she's been kicked out of the group, Tori says Cammy siad Isabel doesn't know her right from her left.

She is present but doesn't say anything as Cammy insults Isabel and her style board. When choosing partners in class for studying the the spelling test, she, Tiffany, and Quinn group up and deliberately leave Isabel out.
