Character structure and summaries

Active source

5.3 Part 3, The Long Convoy, Chapters 060 to 092

Tier	Characters
Main	Lexa, Clarke, Nancy, Robin, Alex, Piper, Emma, Regina
Sub-main	Raven, Steve, Anya, Sara, Ava, Finn, Rachel, Henry, Theo, Scout, Beta, Castle, Kate Beckett
Secondary	Mike, Dustin, Hawkins kids, Toni, Shelby, Seth, Summer, Lily, Jake, Reece
Event-critical / limited-run secondary	Anya if not fully absorbed yet, Caskett entry stress, Steve as living but not reunited, any road-loss characters
Sub-secondary	Legends through signal/memory before full absorption, families not yet found, road survivors, background living dead

Notes:

Caskett should be treated as sub-main from entry onward.
Kate Beckett specifically carries future governance and council potential.
Castle carries family, humor, investigation, parenthood, and emotional imagination.
Steve and Ronance should not fully reunite in Part 3 unless explicitly changed in the skeletons.
The radio proves life, but does not replace the sign system.
