Character Role Analysis
Raffaela, Ben
Raffaela and Ben are clearly Taylor's Jellicoe School sidekicks. Taylor's known Raffaela since day one of the dorms and the girl knows pretty much everything about her, including some memories Taylor doesn't even remember. Similarly, Ben, in spite of his sort-of geekiness, is her second-in-command for the territory wars and stands up for her to become leader when no one else will. Taylor may lead the Underground Community on paper, but her two best friends serve as a faithful cabinet.
