Thinking of adding Animorphs. The series has an Ensemble Cast of six protagonists, all equally important, and rotates between them as narrator. One is black; 1 in every ~5 books is from her POV, for a total of 10 books out of 54 for the main series.

Thoughts?

(Also considering adding it to Latino-American Media on the same basis for one of the other characters.)

Ensemble casts are tricky for these indices. I’m going to say no, as while she’s a main character, the story doesn’t revolve around her as much more than the other characters (In fact, you could argue Jake is a more central character.)

How about if it specifies that it applies to the books narrated by her? E.g.

  • Animorphs books narrated by Cassienote

I'm adding Black Rose, Carlito Colón and Prince Nana on the basis the first two are from Puerto Rico when it was territory of the United States and the latter was born in the US even if he did move to Ghana. Feel free to tell me why you disagree. I may add more names here as I think of them.

Edit:Nana's already there, how embarrassing.
