Phoebe Hinkle asked Katja H. Labonté:

Are there any fictional characters, that you know of, that have influenced your own characters?

Katja H. Labonté Yes! Most recently, my character Cellach from A Noble Comfort was inspired by Chauvelin from the Scarlet Pimpernel books, Frollo from "Hunchback of Notre Dame," + Richelieu from Dumas' Three Musketeers (and probably a whole bunch of other villains, let's be honest...). Penuel, too, was inspired by Basil Stag Hare and other Long Patrol hares from the Redwall books. I can't think of more right now but I know there are plenty of others ;)
