Jonas’s mother
Jonas’s mother does what is required of her in her assigned job
and in her role as mother to Jonas and Lily. As with the other women in
the other family groups, she is not the natural mother to the children
in her home.
Lily
Lily, Jonas’s sister, is a Seven when Jonas is an Eleven. She
becomes an Eight in the December ceremony when Jonas becomes a Twelve.
Gabriel
Gabriel is one of the babies that Jonas’s father nurtures. The
other babies that Jonas’s father nurtures do not have names yet. But,
hoping to help him to thrive by calling him by name, Jonas’s father finds
out what name is planned for him at the Naming Ceremony and begins to
use it. Gabriel becomes especially close to Jonas.
Asher
Asher is Jonas’s best friend. He has difficulty always using
the correct words when he speaks. Using precisely the right word is an
important ability for community members.
Fiona
Fiona is Jonas’s friend. She has red hair. The job that she is
assigned is as a Caretaker in the House of the Old. She is in a dream
that Jonas has as he matures.
Larissa
Larissa is an old woman in the House of the Old. She looks forward
to her Release.
The Chief Elder
The Chief Elder is the person whose job it is to announce the
assignments of the Twelves.
