Agnus Early (not a character but is talked about throughout the story)- Agnus Early was a witch and was in love with Twig's 'four-times-great-grandfather'. Agnes's parents thought she was too young to get married and the American Revolution had started. The Fowlers and the Early's were enemies for political reasons but Agnus and Twig's relative were still in love. So they were going to run away together and get married but the relative never showed up, so Agnus cast a spell on the Fowler family so that all the men would be born with wings.
