Junior Junior - Our baby barrister blogger slowly comes to grips with the mysteries of the bar. 
Peach Melba - Dazzling, with a finely tuned Yarraside snout. 
Procrustes - The columnist who also blogs.

Theodora - Theodora was married to Justinian, and despite a shaky start in life now runs the empire like Mrs Thatcher.
