Fictional books always have main characters. Describe one main character in this book in detail. How did he/she look? What age was he/she? What was his/her personality like? What was the importance of this character to the story? Did you like this character? Why or Why not? The main character that i am going to descibe is Heckie, the animal witch. Heckie looked like any other person you would see on the street, friendly, peaceful, loving, and kind. The only weird thing about her was her power to turn people into animals'. The impotance of this character to this story is that the story is all about her, so if shen wasn't in the story there would be no story. Yes I do like this character because she is not a bad person, andm is very nice, and kind as I mentioned before.

Problem/Conflict: Heckie and Doris want's to become friends again but Mr. Knapsack is holding them back from seeing each other again.
