Sandy Raggard

Sixteen-year-old Sandra Raggard is a student at Malvern High, where her favourite subject is history. Her father is a chef who runs a restaurant in the city, and Sandy herself is an accomplished cook who hopes to open her own restaurant one day. She's the nice girl you met in highschool - the one who was prettier than she realised, and too shy to be popular.

Brave, thoughtful and somewhat naive, Sandy is fiercely loyal to her three friends, and shares her home with a small Rakosian griffin named Rickle.
