Corkoran's First-Years

The main characters from Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones - all first-year students at the Wizards' University, and the bane of their tutor Wizard Corkoran's existence because they actually have new ideas and question the way things are supposed to be. 

Left to right: Felim, Claudia, Elda, Ruskin, Lukin, and Olga.  (And yes, those are bones in Ruskin's pigtails, not little hair bows!)
