Aster Klara Anders

Gerry
Gerry was a former dockworker who worked alongside Danny Hebert. He was described as a "big guy, burly, Black Irish." Rumor went around that Gerry went on to become one of Über and Leet’s henchmen.
Mentioned in Insinuation 2.01.
Mr. Gladly's Girlfriend
Briefly seen alongside Mr. Gladly, Mr. Gladly's girlfriend was a tall blonde seen in shelter at CB-10. She is seen only to scream and burying her face into Mr. Gladly's shoulder when Leviathan attacked the shelter they took refuge in. Her presence bugged Taylor as she disliked Mr. Gladly and thought of her as someone who didn't truly know him as a teacher.
Her fate along with Mr. Gladly is never mentioned outright, though it is possible both had died to Leviathan.
Seen in Extermination 8.05.
Mr. Quinlan
Mr. Quinlan was Taylor's math teacher. He appeared only during the discussion into Taylor's accusation of bullying, speaking to defend the school's lack of action in concerns to Taylor's bullying.
Appeared in Insinuation 2.02.
Mrs. Knott
Mrs. Knott was Taylor's homeroom teacher and taught Computer class. She was described to be like a transvestite, as her attempts of feminine attire along with long blonde hair contrasted with her masculine features. She was tall, broad-shouldered, and had a strong jaw.
Taylor had considered Mrs. Knott to be her favorite teacher.
During the conference discussing Taylor's bullying, Mrs. Knott was the only faculty member noted to have seated on Taylor's side of the table. However, this may just have been due to the fact that there were no other seats available. This is reinforced in that she is seen to have made little attempt to defend Taylor.
Appeared in:
Principle Blackwell
Principle Blackwell was the principle of Winslow High school and was only seen during the discussion of misconduct of Taylor's bullying incidents. She was described as "a narrow woman, dirty blond, with that severe bowl-cut haircut," and her dress appeared to be like "attending a funeral."
She was seen by Taylor as somewhat apathetic, if not averse, in punishing Sophia, Emma, and Madison. However, all three ultimately were suspended, although none of Taylor's suggestions were met.
