Silo Roberts |

 |
 |
 |
Elementary School Student/Cultural Observer
Silo Roberts is an inquisitive, energetic boy with a problem: In a multiple-choice world, he’s an essay question. His family background is diverse; his heritage multiethnic; his self-identity a work in progress. And although he possesses an innate gift for tapping into the extraordinary abilities of others, he can’t always seem to tap into his own. |

 |
 |
 |
Big Brother/Brilliant Jock
As the firstborn, Donny Roberts feels he’s entitled
to the finer things in life. Though he can be
protective of his little brother and sister, he
won’t hesitate to sell them out if it can improve
his standing with girls. He thinks any girl who doesn’t find him irresistible is a dimwit —
which is what his siblings think of him. |

 |
Little Sister/Animal Lover
The youngest always gets away with murder. She calls it “self-defense.” Bold and brutally honest, Lisa triumphs in her daily battles with her brothers by taking no prisoners. She loves them, but has
little patience for their antics. Lisa wishes she could trade in her brothers for a house full of pets —
but she’s severely allergic to pet dander.

 |
Silo’s Classmate/Urban Culture Enthusiast
Maybe it’s all those rap videos that have caused “Ice” to reject his upbringing for a more urban approach. Ice has submerged himself in the
hip-hop culture and can’t figure out why Silo
hasn’t done the same. Despite this minor conflict, Silo and Ice are inseparable and pass the time
discussing such important topics as life,
movies and video games. |
