Background: Shortly pre-Harry Potter, American author T.A. Barron released The Lost Years of Merlin, the first book in a five book series of the same name that covered Merlin's early years and coming into his power. The setting was an island called Fincayra, which is my island name, and is described as an in-between place, not quite Earth and not quite spirit world. So lots of magical creatures and whatnot.
I'm currently having villagers come and go, but my goal is to eventually have all my villagers be ones that would fit a medieval Europe fantasy setting. No knight villagers because the stories I'm pulling from don't have them.
For obvious reasons I plan on going with Phoebe, Drago, Julian. Another is Merengue, in reference to the second book which introduces a town of bakers. I might go with Avery because his design is the closest to an actual merlin bird of prey, and there is one in the books named Trouble who could definitely be described as cranky.
Beyond that I'm not sure who to pick for the remaining five. The stories include classic creatures such as dwarves and giants, dragons, references to merpeople, deer shapeshifters (Merlin even dates a deer woman in the books), and a few creatures I suspect the author might've made up himself. So at this point suggestions would be appreciated.
