Okay, then we'll take Flare's past list, and add in:
Zelen (haha)
And then if agreed, some possible Volume 3 chars.
Amati
Mark
Deanna
But I still think we should drop Horo and Lawrence...I mean, people might put their vote into the other characters, but you need to remember...most of the characters last for one volume, 2 tops, except for Horo and Lawrence, who remain throughout all the volumes. When do we see Zelen, or Nora (cept side stories 7) make an appearance other than in their respective volume? There is just too much development of Horo and Lawrence to accurately portray them on the same scale as the others. That's why I like the side-char poll idea
