 * "The Elder Dragon", aka The Tyrant, aka she who must not be named. The legendary figure who runs the Upper Ashfields project, and is responsible for ensuring that all staff on site are supported and motivated. People talk about her (or pointedly don't) as if they're terrified of making mistakes; many who haven't actually worked with her are terrified of getting her attention. Among those who have actually met her, they probably realise that she is only really nasty to people who are causing a problem. Although her name is in the staff directory as [[Vicky Bracewell|Miss Bracewell]], her name is almost never used.
 * [[/James/]] (?) - office gossip, thinks he knows everything about people's private lives. The guy management talk to when they want to know what people really think about their plans
-* Mr Shimatoyou - One of Gabby's other clients; she's the representative he turns to for setting up new contracts, even if she ends up not being the project manager. Is willing to pay to have her join a conference call in the middle of the night, probably due to timezones. Extremely professional, and needs no hand-holding, but isn't afraid to ask questions if he needs more detail.

 * Elliot Klimt and Miranda Hagen - designers. Gabby thinks they wanted her job, so suspects them for anything that goes wrong. Klimt has a great poker face, feels like he's analysing everyone; Hagen never makes eye contact and has a stutter when talking about anything important, especially presenting to a group

 ** '''Iris Lane''' is where Kim gets off the bus to visit Evan or Pasta Buffet. It's the most convenient stop, if you know all the little shortcuts used by locals.

-** There's a small rural railway station which is trialing solar charging for electric trains. Some people who don't actually live in the town commute from smaller villages that are on the old line. The announcement at Upper Ashfields says that the southbound train calls at "Pine Ridge, Morganston, Greater Ashfields, Renstoke, Fazingham, Little Hoove…".

 * [[Greater Ashfields]] - the largest town in the area, and where the girls like to go shopping. It seems that Raybridge is an outlying smaller town, which has a pretty good school. The Naylors originally lived somewhere between Ashfields and Raybridge, and decided to send Tess to the older, more established school. The school's catchment area includes both most of the Greater Ashfields town centre, and the eastern third of [[Upper Ashfields]].

 ** ''Brunchietta'' - a cafe in one of the pedestrian areas. Everyone calls it ''Nigel's''. Nigel is an older man who is rarely working there himself these days, but knows all the regular customers. Most visitors sit outside on what looks like wrought iron garden furniture, or on the public benches that stretch across a large courtyard
 ** '''Ashfields Community Sport Centre''' - big leisure centre with swimming pool; includes a football field used by the ''Ashfields Hunters'' (local amateur team)
-** '''Malarkey & Sons''' - independent comic/game shop run by a quirky owner (Isaac) who has a thing about only wanting 'real fans' to touch his stock. Named after a pawnbroker/fence in the ''Eight Street Pilgrims'' arc of MK's comics. Descriptions in TLNS chapter 61 / MCK chapter 60. Isaac has some history with Ffrances.

 * Mr Draper - one of Mr Naylor's workmates. They went on a two-week ski trip together last spring, and trusted Tess to look after herself at home
-* [[../Alice/]] - Tess's imaginary friend. She spent some time imagining this girl, who might have been the previous owner of all the toys in Gabby's house. Tess imagined that Alice and her three little sisters had left almost everything behind when they had to move. She speculates that Alice might be one of her classmates at school, as she knows next to nothing about her, but there's no way she could find out.

 * Tess's parents (John and Trish Naylor) - Moved to San Lorenzo after chapter 3. Gabby thinks of Trish as overbearing and rude. Their move was handled by '''Pierson''', which is probably a company name.
 * Aunt Mary - the only one of Tess's dad's family to stay in touch with him after some big argument years ago (possibly because Trish insisted in getting married at a church that's a different denomination to theirs)
-* Grandma Forton - an old lady who doesn't really understand email. Maternal grandmother to John and Gabby. No longer talks to John because she had a huge quarrel with Trish. Wants to hear from Tess, but only with Mary passing messages between them

 * Grandma Lexi - Trish's mother; Tess used to visit her weekly, until her parents started country-hopping
 * Gabby's parents - when she started at university, they didn't help much. She had to rent a truck to handle moving in at her first independent home, because her mum couldn't drive (disability) and her dad decided that if she's moving out of their home she's no longer his responsibility. She's barely spoken to him since.
