Characters
These are the characters in Vicki's World that I relate with. Hey, there is a little bit of every author found in the lead characters of any cast created, right?
Vicki Marie Fox : Vicki is my daughter. Or, more accurately, she is what I would hope to have in a daughter in terms of personality, behaviour, and attitude.
Aussie M. Skunk : Aussie represents my adventuresome side. Aussie's name is derived from two sources. First, I am fascinated by Australia. Second, it is based on a Southern slang way of saying "I see, him skunk".
Mike Flafox : Mike truly represents me. Being a native of Florida (hence, Florida Fox == Flafox), Mike is a gray fox. The gray fox is native to Florida.
