1	In a world where spelling bees are SeriousBusiness, a boy named [[MeaningfulName Webster]] is in for an interesting day. On his way for his first day of high school, he literally runs into the mysterious Outlaw King and Black Queen, two contestants in an illegal back-alley spelling bee. As it turns out, both are trying to bring down the Spelluminati, a shady organization that controls all sanctioned spelling bees. With Webster's help, they hope to be able to defeat all of the Spelluminati's contestants and expose them as the cheats they are.

12	* ButtMonkey: Webster, initially. He's tricked into taking part in a back-alley spelling bee against the Outlaw King, is rescued form the Grammar Police by being tossed out of the alley and onto a pile of garbage, and is trolled by the Black Queen into thinking he'll be caught and arrested. Oh, and because he couldn't think of a handle for himself, the ref named him "Goldilocks".
