History Characters / HowToSurviveCamping

A group of dancers (they insist that they are [[InsistentTerminology ''not'' fairies)]] who roam the campground. Their have the ability to cure someone through dance but beware if you greet them and are unwelcomed - for they might find other means of entertainment instead.

->''Rule #8: If you find yourself surrounded by a group of people whose faces you cannot see, not matter how hard you look, give them whatever they request. They will ask for an insignificant part of your body, such as a piece of your earlobe or a single digit from a finger. Try not to scream when they cut it off, or they will help themselves to additional pieces. Do not refuse or try to escape. They will take far more from you if they must obtain it by force.''

A group of inhumans who dons raincoats and goes around asking for bits from their victims. In return they will create an item from your parts that would help you in the future. However, if you run or cry out they will take more than just bits.

* TheAssimilator: They does this as part of their recruitment method.
* BodyHorror: What they become should the group rejects a fellow harvesters.

* ASpotOfTea: Her guests are offered these. The tea can also help prevent another inhuman from brainwashing their minds or even weakens them if she needs be.

* DeadpanSnarker: Campers who don't read the rules -- both the special and the mundane -- are generally on the recieving end of this. Furthermore, while inhuman things ''can'' be a genuine threat to safety on her campground, what's more likely to kill a person is not following common sense.

* ExtraEyes: Has eyes all over her face. [[spoiler:It actually foreshadows her true form - which is that of a giant spider.]]
* WalkingSpoiler:[[spoiler:Due to her nature as both woman with extra eyes AND the lady in chains.]]

An inhuman entity Kate accidentally summoned during her attempts to get rid of another inhuman. It seeks to rule the campgrounds as it turns ancient. His companion is a cannibalistic horse the size of an elephant. TheBigBad of Book Three.

* ManipulativeBastard: Very much so. Kate bemoans that he has basically [[ManchurianAgent sleeper agents]] everywhere and it became extremely hard for her to even begin to untangle the web he wove. [[/folder]]

* InnocenceLost: Was first exposed to the more brutal side of humanity when [[spoiler:he was blackmailed as a child and forced to make his dogs take part in an illegal animal fighting ring]].

[[folder:The Dancers]]

->''Rule #4: If you see a group of people dancing in a circle around a fire, you may join them. If they welcome you in, dance with them until the music ends. Do not look at the musicians. If they do not welcome you, but instead stop and stare, back away slowly and then leave. If they follow you, you can try to run, but it is likely already too late. Pray that death comes swiftly.''

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Upon their first meeting, the Lead Dancer cheerily invites Kate to join their circle. When Kate politely refuses, the Lead Dancer threatens her to join them, and they proceed to force Kate to dance until she collapses from exhaustion.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Loves glitter, lots and ''lots'' of glitter.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: The Lead Dancer counts as this, though she can be terrifyingly serious when she wants to.
* InvoluntaryDance: People who are invited to join the Dancers' circle are magically forced to dance along to the music, even as their bodies begin to tire out.
* RummageSaleReject: Has a tendency to dress...oddly, like heavy fur coat during a hot summer or a bikini top during winter. This actually works as deterrent for campers because their appearance signals them that the group is not human.

->''Rule #8: If you find yourself surrounded by a group of people whose faces you cannot see, not matter how hard you look, give them whatever they request.

* TheAssimilator: They does this as part of their recruitment method.
* BodyHorror: What they become should the group rejects a fellow harvesters.
* OrganicTechnology: What they do to the parts that they take. Should their victims return, said items are proven to be extremely helpful for them.

* TheDeterminator: Despite being nothing more than a mere human, Kate has survived plenty of supernatural incidents through sheer determination. [[spoiler: It is this trait that made Beau spare her, for he could see her ascend through nothing but the sheer stubbornness to survive.]]

* FriendlessBackground: Sort of. Many of the friends she had as a child were either driven away by her family's reputation or died/left after getting caught up in the inhuman side of things. Outside her family, she at least seems to have had Brian and the Old Sheriff, but not much else.

[[folder:The Man With the Skull Cup/Beau]]]]
--> Rule #12: If you’re approached by a stranger offering you a drink from a cup made out of a human skull, accept. It will taste foul and you will not be able to eat without vomiting for the next 24 hours, but this is better than what they will do to you if you refuse.
