My favorite character in the text would be Michael (for kiss). This is because he puts others in front of himself and always think for the group. He is a natural leader that wishes for the best for the people he’s taking care of, and he would not abandon any one of his friends. For example, when David, Petra, and Rosalind were accused of being a deviant and escaped, despite knowing that he might get discovered, he kept in contact and update where the search group was. “They’ve picked up your trail again. A small farm on the edge of Wild Country. You galloped through it. Remember?” (pg 142)

Michael is also a very logical person. For the group’s sake, he understands that there are things that they have to do that would no in no way be considered “humane.” While he was contacting David after telling him about where the tracking group was, he said, “ You understand what that means David? They are scared of us. Ready to break us down in the attempt to find out more about us – once they can catch us. You mustn’t let them get hold of Rosalind or Petra – far better to kill them yourself than let then kill them. You understand?” (Pg 143)

In the end, he also volunteers to do the most dangerous job – to bring back Rachel the last telepathic in the city to a safer spot. He knew that it was a risky job, especially because he might have been suspected of helping them, but he still went for it since he believed that Rachel deserved better. “She is to go on being brave – and very careful – and in a little time, three or four days, perhaps, I shall come and fetch her away. Will you tell her that?” (Pg 197)
