=== Character list ===
This begins with <code><nowiki>;Characters</nowiki></code>. It should include a list of all the characters, in a bulleted list (using asterisks) within a {{t|columns}} template. Point of view characters (denoted by <code><nowiki>(point of view)</nowiki></code>) appear first, followed by characters featured in the chapter, and lastly characters mentioned (denoted by <code><nowiki>(mentioned only)</nowiki></code>). Even a single mention is enough to warrant inclusion in the list. Unnamed characters should only be included if they have a wiki page. Within each category, organize roughly by order of appearance. This listing should generallyusually use the name of each character's wiki page; this generally means full names will be used almost always.
 
These names should be linked each and every time they appear in a characters list. However, character names should still be linked the first time they appear within the actual text of the summary.
