** Rain's abusive father Marcus never makes a physical appearance. His deplorable actions are mainly described by other characters in the Bryer-Flaherty family and the only times we really get to see him are in Rain's dreams and flashbacks.

** Blair Carver started as this, only mentioned in Chapter 28 and is brought up here and there by Emily when discussing her past relationships. That is, until he finally appeared in Chapter 35 and since then made more frequent appearances. Most likely due to [[spoiler:Maria moving to his school]].
