Guess who needs filler characters for her OC's backstories? That's right, Kiwi does.

The main characters will be Belladonna the Skunk, Lotus the Bat, and Yarrow the Pangolin; this will pertain to their backstory and hopefully the future plot.

For info purposes, and to help me work out the kinks, here's the story:

~ part 1: Black Locust

The story starts when a power-hungry aggressor known only as Black Locust kills a holy warrior named Larkspur.

A soldier of light, Larkspur fought against Black Locust to protect the continent from his dark ambitions. She, the last barrier between Black Locust and a land of innocent people, is now fallen.

Victorious, Black Locust targets a single source of power - a power gem similar to the Chaos Emeralds, albeit different-natured. This stone is locked inside a small kingdom for which the stone is its power source.

Black Locust robs the kingdom of its life source, leaving terror and destruction in his wake.

~ part 2: Belladonna, Lotus, and Yarrow

When the gem is stolen, an ancient spirit awakens. The protector of the stone, his name is Yarrow, and all he knows is that he must retrieve the gem.

The rulers of the kingdom must take action as well to rescue their kingdom before it wilts. Princess Azalea, though noble by marriage, is one of two children of the fallen holy warrior Larkspur. Desperate to save her people, she calls for her brother, Lotus - Larkspur's son. To save his sister's kingdom, he takes on the task of retrieving the gem.

Finally, in the path carved by Black Locust's destruction, a girl finds her dying uncle - her only family left in the world - stricken down by Locust's hand. Her name is Belladonna, and she pledges to hunt Black Locust down and murder him to atone for her uncle's death.

So! This is what I have so far. I need extra characters to flesh out the plot. Looking for: I will include absolutely everyone i possibly can. Just leave the plotting up to me!
 * childhood friends for Belladonna
 * new friends for Belladonna
 * allies & enemies
 * other parties to meet
 * allies of Black Locust
 * allies of Larkspur
 * citizens of Azalea's kingdom, etc
 * possible love interests, maybe multiple
 * possibly some centuries-old (alive or dead) characters? Yarrow is hundreds of years old and as he recovers memories I need characters for him to know.

Please comment only if you're comfortable with me writing your character into the story!
