The Database does not allow duplicates between Character and Species.
Since the author does occasionally repeat Characters within a species,
all duplicates will have something in brackets[] after the Character
Name, either a one-word comment or an abbreviated book title.
Example: The first Astrid,Crossbreed will be Astrid [FAG] for the
Astrid in Fawn And Games, the second Astrid,Crossbreed will be
Astrid [BS] for the Astrid in Board Stiff, the first book in which she
appears.
