* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Amanda is the Tomboy because she wears a suit and tends to solve problems in a very practical and hands on manner (building a shelter when lost in the snow). Jenny is the Girly Girl as she wears a skirt and tends to use her art skills to deal with obstacles (drawing a design in her notebook for Morris to knit into a scarf so she can alert her friends to Charn's presence).

* BagOfHolding: Boris's rucksack. He puts in enough food to last them several days in Widge, the Veetarod, an extra set of clothes, a bag of tennis shoes, a rope ladder... and still has enough room for Veetons and a few packages of books from the Book Tree.
Added DiffLines:
* CrazyPrepared: You can understand Boris packing a ton of food and some extra clothes for a journey that will take a number of days. But he also packed a ''rope ladder.'' [[spoiler: Pretty handy when you need to cross a deep chasm, and the rest of your party isn't athletic enough to jump the gap.]]
