Most of my characters are adults, but there are some children- like in The Immortal Ambrosia, there's Fio, and in The Incredible Lives of the Brothers Cattaneo there's Persy.
Of course, in The Immortal Ambrosia, Fio (Rosafiore Veronesi) looks 10 but is actually 20. Her father is the governor of Ascalia- a former mafioso- and is desperate to get her back, because her half-brother, Michelangelo (Dante Veronesi) kidnapped her. But, after some initial woes, Fio is fine with running around the country with her older half-brother. She just wants to quell her father's fears once he sees her on the silver screen (her obsession with Leo Creighton (a Lon Chaney-type) brought her to New Los Rios) and gets in touch with her again.
Persy Lee has two living parents, but they never married and only for a time lived together. Her mother is the so-called "Red Fox" Anna Savoy, but as you can see, Persy bears her father's surname. He's a foreigner and a novelist, R.A. Lee. (but quoting from my novel: "(though with his absent-minded tendency to fall into his work to exclusion of everything else around him, if the Conductor had been more given to joking, he would have wanted to comment on his being impressed that R.A. had raised a child to the age where she could more or less manage herself)"). He's a little bit of a goofball obviously, but, c'mon, he is sort-of friends with Horatio ("the Conductor"), so.....
