Cat Nymndemise
- "What the crumb?"
A boy who died and was brought back to life by a powerful Fae, Cat remembers little about his old life- something which frustrates him often. Being brought back to life has also given him some amount of magical power. He finds himself and his sister Libby caught up in the midst of the beginnings of a grand magical war.
Tropes associated with Cat:
- Creepy Shadowed Undereyes
- Dead to Begin With: Was brought back with magic
- Emotional Powers: His wind powers seem to manifest most when he's angry or upset. It also seems to produce rain when he's sad.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he's using his wind magic
- Precocious Crush: On Sarah
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: They were blue before he died
Sarah
A Half-Fae with the ears and tail of a fox and the ability to control her shadow.
Tropes associated with Sarah:
- Berserk Button: Do NOT call her a Dire Fae. Also, don't touch her tail.
- Casting a Shadow: Her powers as a Shadowmancer
- Dark Is Not Evil: Possesses shadow powers, which are commonly disdained by other Fae, but she's definitely on the good side
- Deadpan Snarker: Especially around Dor
- Fiery Redhead: Her temper is feared by many
- Half-Human Hybrid: Half-Fae
- Living Shadow: Named "Sunny"
- Love Interest: To Bing
Dorian "Dor" Nymndemise
- "I'm sheltered, not stupid."
The son of Lily and Mercutious Nymndemise, but his existence was hidden from his father. He lived all his life in one room, with the only source of outside information being books and his cousin Bing. He is not well known for being very nice.
Tropes associated with Dor:
- Big Brother Instinct: Shows his protective side several times when it comes to Cat
- Brought Down to Normal: Used to be a powerful Lightning Fae, but the painful removal of his horns have cut off most of his power and made him closer to human.
- Deadpan Snarker: Oh so much.
- Determinator: Manages to fight off Laura's mind-control several times, even before he was aware of it.
- Friendless Background: The only source of interaction he got when he was younger was with Bing, and that turned sour pretty quick.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He insults people often, sometimes without meaning to, but he really does care.
- Mind-Control Eyes: While he's being controlled by Laura
- No Social Skills: He was raised in a single room, hidden away from most Fae
- Shock and Awe: What he used to be able to do.
Deedra
A girl of Chinese descent who was captured by John Stone after her whole village was destroyed. She was taken care of by Vali, but due to unfortunate circumstances, she lost her memories and only half of herself was restored.
Tropes associated with Deedra:
- Badass Adorable: She dealt with Katrina on a regular basis and she's capable of holding her own against Laura
- Black Eyes of Evil: Averted, as Deedra is very kind, though her eyes are very off-putting to those who first meet her.
- Crush Blush: Has a couple of these towards Dor
- Happily Adopted: by Vali
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Thanks to being kissed by Threnody
- Wistful Amnesia: Thanks to only half her memories coming back, she always feels like something is missing.
Libby/The Vortex
- "I can't explain. I don't know how. I'm sorry."'
Libby's existence sets the whole plot in motion. She coexists with a sentient force called the Vortex, which absorbs magic from magical beings (the Fae). Certain Fae see her as a threat to their existence and are trying to kill her.
Tropes associated with Libby:
- Creepy Child
- Energy Absorption: Draws in the magic of pure-blooded Faes, making her dangerous to be around
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: When the Vortex is speaking
- Goo-Goo-Godlike: She's only one, and she can grant Fae full powers or completely destroy them
- Split Personality: Between Libby, the Vortex, and part of Bing
- Talking to Themself
- Younger Than They Look: Libby is one year old, but the Vortex has forced her to grow very quickly. She looks about four or five, and can talk perfectly.
Kristin Bing
- "Likewise, Goatboy."
A blue Fire Fae who begins as a guide to Sarah and Cat. He has weaved in and out of the story, being the cause of several important events.
Tropes associated with Bing:
- Big Brother Instinct: "I promise you, Dorian, if you let anything happen to Cat, I will kill you."
- Hero of Another Story: He even has a few of his own side comics showing the things he's been up to.
- Love Interest: To Sarah
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While saving Cat, he knocks out Lord Nymndemise (not knowing who it was), which sets a whole magical war in motion.
- Playing with Fire
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: A good sign that he's either using his powers, or very mad. Or both.
- Took a Level in Badass: According to several characters, Bing was not known for being brave in the past. On another note, his fire powers increased dramatically after he drank far too much firewater.
Tom
An ally of Cat and the others in the present times. Not a whole lot is known about him, since he keeps his past a secret, and how he met the gang has yet to be shown.
Tropes associated with Tom:
- Deadpan Snarker: Around Dorian, big surprise
- Identical Stranger: Looks exactly like the Magus, but Deedra claims he looks much different than the Magus unmasked
- Mysterious Past: He doesn't want to talk about it.
