Ludmilla Cake is the daughter of [[Mrs. Evadne Cake]], [[Ankh-Morpork]]'s most feared medium. She is also a [[werewolves|werewolf]], although a different kind of werewolf than [[Angua von Uberwald]]. Rather than being able to become a wolf at any point, and becoming a wolf involuntarily when hit by full moon light, Ludmilla is human three weeks out of the month, and a "hairy wolf thing" during full moon, night and day. This trait was most likely inherited from Mrs. Cake's side of the family.

Ludmilla was seen at the end of {{RM}} as "walking out", or at the very least going for walkies, in the company of the wolf [[Lupine]], who is another type of werewolf. Lupine is similar to Ludmilla in that he becomes a wolfman the entire time the moon is full, but for the rest of the month, Lupine is a full wolf. The current relationship and location of the pair is unknown.

Ludmilla returns to the series in {{MM}}, when she is again (apparently) single and living at home with Mum. As one of Mum's lodgers is [[Angua von Überwald]], at least she has an opportunity for sympathetic chat, perhaps even for some [[Roistering|"minge drinking"]] with the Undead girls? It is interesting that the formerly submissive Ludmilla appears to have become a lot more assertive and self-confident, especially over any perceived verbal slight to the Undead, or careless use of language concerning the "differently vitality-enabled".

A noted Discworld explorer, with a name which is a coy reference to one of [[Roundworld]]'s most celebrated (if fictional) explorers, also a Jones and also named after where he came from: Indiana.

He was hampered in his voyages of discovery by the fact he wasn't really looking for new lands to conquer: his main priority was evangelising his sect of Strict Observance [[Druid]]ism to the heathen, i.e. everyone who wasn't already a Strict Observance Druid.

So he would set off in a small leather and wicker coracle, equipped with nothing more than a holy sickle, a sack of mistletoe, a small portable stone circle of the laptop variety, and a harmonium for the hymn singing.

Unfortunately, he could travel for no further than three and a half days in any direction before being compelled to return to [[Llamedos]] for the necessarily strict druidic observances and male voice choir practice once a week.

He was finally given dispensation by the circle elders to miss services and is believed to have discovered the [[Brown Islands]] by the very practical technique of continuing in a straight line until he hit something.

While this claim is debated, there is ''one'' island where it rains a lot, choral singing is elevated to the status of a martial art, the most important religious ceremony is carried out by two teams of fifteen men who ritually maim each other in pursuit of a small ovoid ball, and where the potent locally distilled coconut liqueur, or indeed any other intoxicating beverage drunk on the islands, is not available ''anywhere'' on the seventh day. Those lugubriously stern-faced carved heads, reminiscent of a stern-observance Druidical elder, which ring the island and face outwards, are believed to be a local attempt to grasp the concept of a stone circle. If the inside of a stone circle is a holy place, the reasoning goes, then let's not muck around, let's go for a ''seriously'' big one that makes the whole of the island holy...

==Annotation==
The [[Roundworld]] parrellel is Fiji, a set of tropical Pacific islands formerly part of the British Empire, where Welsh missionaries took not only Christianity but also rugby football. Today, the Fijian national side always plays way above itself in rugby internationals and is regarded as a hard-to-beat middle-ranking side, in world terms - and more than that in rugby sevens, where they're actually damn' good.
