Norah Linton
- Action Girl: at least by the standards of the time. She rides, musters cattle, knows how to shoot a gun.
- Not Like Other Girls: Shades of this in the first book. It gets better later.
- Unable to Cry: at first when she hears news of Jim's reported death
Jim Linton
Wally Meadows
- Insecure Love Interest: when he thinks he isn't good enough for Norah in her father and brother's eyes, doesn't think she requites his love, and removes himself to Queensland.
