Discworld Characters The discworld is a place that has popped out the nose of it's author - Terry Pratchett.

Basically it is a flat, round world that is transported through space on the back of four enormous elephants who in turn stand on the back of a giant Turtle.

This comparison will be about five of the main characters throughout the 50+ book series. Obviously with a series that big i could go on for a while but as there is a 5 item limit i will do my best to pick 5 interesting characters.

If you don't know the characters i am speaking about then i am sorry, i will try to make this make as much sense as possible!

I got some of the information contained in this table-thing from wikipedia, the rest i pulled (rather forcefully) from my brain.

PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU THINK ANY INFORMATION IN THIS TABLE IS INCORRECT AND I WILL LOOK INTO IT.

I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THIS MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Age Family Apperances - in Terry Pratchett Novels associates a short fun quote residence occupation looks Full Name those who know them.... Random Fact
The Great A'Tuin Unknown, i doubt anyone would want to hazard a guess at this. Except maybe a few philosophers who have nothing better to do with their time. The Great A'Tuin has 8 babies (or at least helps them hatch and then leads them through the cosmos) in 'The Light Fantastic' Technically appears in every book. The Four elephant's on It's (the sex of the Great A'Tuin is a matter for contention.
They are named Berilia, Tubul, Great T'Phon, and Jerakeen
No words have ever been uttered but telepaths have been able to discern that the Great A'Tuin is looking forward to something
... worldbearer Like a giant sea turtle, with meteor craters on it's back The Great A'Tuin nuf said really! It has been known to alter its course to avoid meteorite hits, and even to snap at them with its beak or send them away with its flippers; whereas on less sensibly-designed worlds people have to rely on Bruce Willis.
Granny Weatherwax Again unknown, even fewer people would want to hazard a guess at this, due to the extreme fatality this might cause. It has, however, been implied that she is of 'hag' status which tells us that she is older than the average person..... Lily Weatherwax - Sister

Alison Weatherwax - Grandmother


Galder Weatherwax - cousin
10 books Nanny Ogg - long time friend, confidant, sister (witch) and enemy

Granny's Cottage, Bad Ass, Lancre, The Ramtops Witch Tall, thin, Hard features, wart-free skin (no matter how hard she tries) permanant scowl Esmerelda ("Esme") Weatherwax Granny is the unacknowledged/secretly-acknowledged leader of the witches. She prefers to use "headology" instead of magic as the wizards practise it, believing that magic is not so much flashy lights as knowing things that other people don't know.

Ramkin Residence, Scoone Avenue, Ankh commander of the city watch Skinny, Blading, Unshaven, perpetually in thought Sir Samuel Vimes, Duke of Ankh The most respected/hated/loved/admired/annoying man in Ankh-Morpork According to Fred Colon, Sam Vimes was born two drinks under par. In short, he is perpetually slightly knurd (more sober than sober).
Rincewind Unknown precisely although the first books that he appears in describe him as being young. He has obviously aged over the years so we could guess.......older? possibly Bill Rincewind,
Lavaeolus might be an ancestor,
Dr Rjinswand on Roundworld is a parellel-world version who has discovered something as good and as dangerous as magic, in nuclear energy...
9 books Twoflower -tourist with no sense of, Danger, tact, diplomacy, sarcasm or subtlety
