Blake starts in a work camp and ends up in an university in this magical
journey called “Secret under my skin” by Janet McNaughton. The three
minor characters who prove to be vital to Blake are : Lem, Marrella, and
Erica.
One of the most important characters to Blake Raintree is Lem Howwel.
Lem is so important to Blake because he gives her an identity. He builds a
scanner to read the chip in her arm to figure out her true identity. The chip
tells her that her name is Blake Raintree and that she is 16 years old. “Blake
Raintree. My name.” (138)
One of the most important characters to Blake Raintree is Marrella Splenders.
Marrella is so important to Blake Raintree because she gives her a defence
against people being mean to her. She does this by being very mean and
always rude to her and putting her down. But by doing this it gave Blake a
defence to her. (You are a very stupid girl. I'm looking for a plant. If I bring
back a rock, they will think i'm as stupid as you.'
The most important character to Blake raintree is Erica. She is the most
important because she was Blake's mother figure. If Erica was not there to be
the mother figure then Blake would grow up without one and she would be
insecure because she would not of had motherly love. “Erica squeezes my
shoulder. “ i think i understand.” I appreciate her kindness ,”(71)
These are the three most important minor characters . All of these characters
proved vital to Blake by forming her personality and character into a strong
good person.
