@RickHankel
missing characters in render scope

render () {
    const {characters} = this.state
    return (
      <div className='container'>
        <Table characterData={characters} removeCharacter={this.removeCharacter} />
      </div>
    )
  }

The characters variable is not defined within the scope of the render method. It is defined within the scope of the state object.
