This is the thread for discussion of The Order of the Stick plot, characters, etc. We have a separate thread
for discussing game rules and mechanics. Excessive rules discussions here may be thumped as off-topic.

Wryte Speaking of shop-owners, maybe the elderly Gnomish couple from whom Haley bought the dagger in Tinkertown. They decide not to retire to the tropics, but instead set out to save the world!
Right Eye's daughter and both sons appear on multiple pages, as well as his wife. However, in the same scene, there is a girl whom Right Eye invited to seduce Redcloak, who appears only on one page. Several members of the circus too.
Other ideas: The ninja waitress from Azure City. Any characters from this page
. The hunters who captured the MITD.
Of course these are just random once-appearing characters. The hunters may not be that far off though, as the MITD will definitely have a large role in the next book.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.I do like the idea of it being Right-Eye's daughter. Since part of the final book will revolve around trying to persuade Redcloak to finally, finally accept that the Dark One's course of action is a mistake, involving the family that very nearly tempted him away from it is a good way of bringing that full circle.
If Redcloak is finally to accept that the Sunk Cost Fallacy was a mistake, Right-Eye deserves some kind of representation in that storyline.
Also, since the Order never met Right-Eye or his family, it would be trivially easy to organically work in a recap on who the character is for audience members that never read Start of Darkness. The "recap" is basically just a character introduction.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.
While Right Eye's daughter may as well appear, her being that character is right out (sorry). See my previous post.
This speculation all assumes that Rich correctly remembered the number of pages said character appeared in and didn't miss something. I think all characters that appear "on one page but also in this one-off panel in a different page" are fair game.

I'll admit, a sequence of events that result in the Snarl joining the Order of the Stick would certainly keep my attention.
I mean, I guess I could, but
I was looking at that earlier and nobody really jumped out me as a likely candidate. Also there are a lot of people who appeared in exactly one page of bonus material.
It's Giggles, along with his amassed orc followers. Everyone go home, I got it.
Writer, or something. Push the button, if you dare. 🖲️

/checks something
I was thinking it might be Serini, but it turns out she's appeared on two pages.
