Ahhh, mah Iggy... lol

Iggy and Ella's bio on Wikipedia. ^_^

Iggy
"Soon Iggy, tall and pale, slouched into the kitchen. Eyes closed, he fell on our beat-up couch with perfect aim. The only time he has trouble being blind is when one of us forgets and moves furniture or something. 'Hey Ig, rise and shine,' I said. 'Bite me,' he mumbled sleepily." Max & Iggy (Maximum Ride: The Angel Experimemt page10)
Iggy is fourteen and the third oldest member of the flock; his blindness, caused by a failed attempt to surgically enhance his night vision when he was younger, is one of his defining traits. He is very talented at building and using bombs, which he makes in cooperation with his best friend, the Gasman. He is also skilled at picking locks as Max mentions in the first book. Since he became blind, his other senses have been greatly heightened (e.g.. identifying members of the flock by the feel of their skin or feathers, a quasi-echolocation, telling when someone is coming through vibrations in the floor, and discovering a man's credit card password through the musical tones created by the keypad), and he uses them to compensate for his inability to see. Although he is blind, Iggy is the only one in the flock who can cook well.
Iggy's real name is James Griffiths. He is the first member of the flock who has located his biological parents, but he left their custody to rejoin the Flock when they attempted to sell his life story to eight different magazines, much to his disappointment in his mother and father. His name in the flock "Iggy" could be derived from the Latin "Ignis" meaning "Fire" which would suit the pyromaniac nicely.
Iggy is also very tall (in fact the tallest member of the flock) at around 6' 3", hence naturally attracting attention in public, whether good or bad. He became friends with a girl named Tess when the flock enrolls in private school, although briefly, because soon after they find that their high school is actually run by The School, and obviously have to leave. Iggy has strawberry blond hair and (sightless) blue eyes.


[edit] Ella
Ella is the daughter of Dr. Martinez and the half sister of Max. She is a 12 year old, and "secretly" in love with a boy from her class by the name of Shaw Akers. Max first meets her when Ella was about to be mugged. Max stopped this from happening and is then shot by the mugger. Max asks for help and spends two days recupperating at Ella house. Ella appears twice in the third book, once when Max asks for Dr. Martinez and the second time at the end of the book. Throughout the series, Ella wishes that Max is her sister and is thrilled at the end of the third book to find out that this is the case. She seems somewhat in awe of the rest of the Flock and thinks that Iggy's ability to eat perfectly even though he is blind is "amazing". It is implied that Ella and Iggy have some sort of attraction to each other.

so Ella IS 12... huh. well that's not much of an age diff. my parents r 2 years apart.
So Iggy means "fire"? well that makes sense! lol. "Bombs are good. remember the one from last fall? i almost caused an avalanch!" -Iggy
