First, some context:
My new book, The Mythic Guide to Characters, will be available soon. It has a descriptive subtitle:
Writing Characters That Enchant and Inspire
However, I'm not sure if using "that" is correct, or if it should be "who":
Writing Characters Who Enchant and Inspire
Searching online, the consensus is that "who" is used for humans, and that "that" is used for non-humans or anonymous groups of people. Given that characters can be non-human, and that they are a group in this context, would "that" be the correct usage?
I want to make sure that I'm not committing a grammatical error before I immortalize this subtitle in print.
Thanks in advance.
