SF supporting cast meme

Everyone remembers which story Valentine Michael Smith is in, or Paul Atriedes, or Sarah Connor. But do you remember...?

Name the F/SF story in which these less-prominent characters appear. Only one correct guess per person per day please, to give everybody a chance to play. As usual, some are more obscure than others. More than one work by a given author may be represented. Struck-through entries have already been guessed. (I'll also be adding more characters for the tough ones as they go unguessed.)

Final update: Answers provided for the 4 that went unguessed. Thanks for playing along, everybody!
