Minor characters in Coraline are Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. Their purpose for the plot is that when Coraline went to their room, they talked with Coraline while having tea, and ended up telling Coraline that she was in terrible danger. On page 20, Miss Spink said, "You know Coraline, you are in terrible danger." This shows us that Miss Spink can tell when Coraline will end up in dangerous situation.
