Nicky Shen
Played by: Olivia Liang
Our protagonist, a Chinese-American woman who fled to a Shaolin monastery for three years. She returns home after the monastery is attacked and her shifu is killed
- Action Girl: She's an expert martial artist.
- Agent Scully: Nicky's reaction to anything that might be supernatural. She sees the sword glow, but says it might just be reflections from a lightning storm. Ryan says she "walks on air" but she insists it was just an ordinary high jump. However, she later changes her mind and comes to believe in the weapons' magic.
- Berserk Button: Whenever someone says anything bad of Pei-Ling, she gets angry. Especially if it also involves Zhilan.
- Bully Hunter: With a dash of Chronic Hero Syndrome. It's suggested in "Guidance" that Nicky has been always like this growing up in San Francisco while in school, and confirmed in "Transformation" when Ryan mentions that he and Nicky had a codeword so that Nicky would rescue him from bullies when needed.
- Composite Character: Some of her backstory is from Kwai Chang Caine (his training at a Shaolin monastery and leaving it after it's razed) and Peter Caine (his disbelief in supernatural things and his reunion with his estranged father).
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life:
- Before the events of the series, Nicky dropped out of Harvard Law School to get away from her controlling mother. She joined a martial arts monastery which for a time gave her some meaning, until Pei-Ling was killed by Zhilan. Nicky returns home as she has nowhere else to go and tries to reconnect with her family. She ultimately decides to take up the quest to avenge Pei-Ling and stop Zhilan.
- Season 3 ends with a lesser crisis for purpose, which ends in Nicky deciding to leave San Francisco and travel the world helping people.

- Dark Secret: Althea was sexually abused by her boss. Thus far, the only person she has told about it is Nicky. Eventually, she also tells Ryan and Dennis, planning to publicly come forward in the near future.

- Playful Hacker: Or as she calls it, "Creative firewall jumping."

Nicky's brother.
- Agent Mulder: Ryan was initially the only one who believed there was something supernatural about Nicky's fighting talent.
- Gayngst: Nicky's brother Ryan came out to his parents about a year before Nicky's return. They aren't outright homophobic but they prefer to act like it never happened. He resents Nicky for leaving because she was the only person in their family he felt safe coming out to.

- Straight Gay: He has no stereotypical traits of gay men.
Mei-Li Shen
Played by: Kheng Hua Tan
Nicky's mother. She comes from a Beijing background.
- Dark Secret: She is a descendant of Liang Daiyu, the original owner of the sword, and by extension so is Nicky. Also her sister, who she claimed died as a teenager, actually grew obsessed with the sword and ran away from home to find it.
- Dating What Mommy Hates: Mei-Li didn't approve of Nicky's relationship with Evan, ultimately leading to them breaking up. She's not too fond of Henry, either. She gets better.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Mei-Li's arc over the first season involves her learning to open up more, allow for change, and accept her daughter for who she is.
- Education Mama: She had Nicky learn the Harvard Fight Song on the piano when she was five.
- Hollywood Tone-Deaf: We never actually hear her sing, but her family's reactions when she takes the stage during karaoke imply she's this.
- My Beloved Smother: Nicky's opinion of her mother Mei-Li. She gets better.

Played by: Tzi Ma
Nicky's father. He comes from a Cantonese background.
- Former Teen Rebel: He says that he and Henry are not that different when his wife expresses concern about all the time Nicky is spending with him.

In the wake of the Liang Daiyu reveal, he temporarily separates from Mei-Li, but following their reunion they are on more equal footing.
- Open-Minded Parent: Zigzagged. He is much more welcoming towards Nicky when she returns home than his wife. However, he didn't handle Ryan coming out of the closet very well. He later reveals he was proud of his son's coming out, but wasn't sure how to express it at the time, apologizing to Ryan for the miscommunication.

Real question: Why are you working on your dolls?Dennis: Minis.Althea: (indulging him) Minis. Minis.
- Insecure Love Interest: Dennis reveals in Season 2 that he considers Althea still out of his league, even after all this time, and is afraid one day she'll wake up and realize that if he makes a big enough mistake.

- Cope by Creating: If he's not preparing for a game, Dennis likes to paint D&D minifigures when he's stressed.
- Nerds Are Sexy: On the same night Althea's bachelorette party featured a "Pin the Abs on the Dennis" game, Dennis is revealed to have spent his own bachelor party playing Dungeons & Dragons in full cosplay. Fittingly, while Nicky and Henry are weirded out, Althea finds it appealing.

Carrie
Played by: Kim Rhodes
A businesswoman who helps Mei-Li rescue Harmony Dumplings.
- Actor Allusion: Not the first time Kim Rhodes has played a "Carey".
- Honest Corporate Executive: Played with. According to Kim Rhodes's interviews, Carrie means well and genuinely wants to help Mei-Li. In her first appearance, she goes behind her partner's back to give Mei-Li advice on how to negotiate a better deal with her own company.

- Lady in a Power Suit: Generally wears a blazer over a dress for her meetings.
- Nothing Personal: Often has to act on behalf of corporate, even when she doesn't want to. (However, according to showrunners, she had a less-than-objective reason to dig into Sebastian's past, meaning she's not all business.)

- Daddy's Girl: In flashbacks, it's clear she worshiped her father, even as he neglected her health. When her sister accidentally killed him, Zhilan refused to forgive her for it, even years later.
- Dark Action Girl: A vicious Chinese woman who's after the artifacts. She is a deadly martial artist who killed Pei-Ling and goes toe to toe with Nicky, Pei-Ling's later student, without difficulty. Zhilan wears black in her first appearance too, fittingly.
- The Dreaded: Nicky mentions in "Pilot" to Evan that Chinese law enforcement is scared of facing her.
- Enemy Mine: By the time Season 3 is rolling, Zhilan is back on Earth and works with Nicky just to take down the Harvester and Xiao.
- Hero Killer: She's responsible for killing Pei-Ling and nearly killed Nicky in Yunnan Province.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the Season 2 finale, she sacrifices herself to stop Russell Tan from escaping.

- Sexual Extortion: What he did to Althea and several other women.
Kerwin Tan
Played by: Ludi Lin
A Taiwanese billionaire whom Zhilan partners with to obtain the weapons.

- Big Bad: Goes from the Greater-Scope Villain of Season 1 to the true Big Bad of Season 2.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Has a team of mercenaries in his employ, and is noted to have made a lot of shady dealings. He also owned a factory whose pollution was responsible for Zhilan's early health problems and her mother's death.
- Greater-Scope Villain: While Zhilan is indisputably the Big Bad of Season 1, part of the reason she wants the power of the weapons is to keep it out of the hands of Russell, who would do even worse things with it. His influence and search for the weapons also tore Zhilan's family apart, kicking off the series's events. At the end of Season 1, he kills the sorcerer and nearly kills Zhilan and Nicky. Season 2 reveals him to be buying up land in San Francisco and has several rich and influential people in his pocket, including along with politicians and Evan's boss.
- Tragic Villain: Lost his eldest son a number of years ago, which still seems to hit him hard. Subverted — considering his master plan was to take over the body of one of his children to gain immortality in a younger body, he was likely just grieving the loss of his best possible vessel.

- Daddy's Little Villain: The daughter of Russell Tan and much more involved in his plots than her brother. In "Destruction", he's pissed that Zhilan and Mia kidnap her.

- The Unfavorite: How she sees herself compared to Raymond and Kerwin due to her father's sexism. Turns out it's not true. Russell genuinely loved her and wanted her to take over the company. She turned on him for nothing.

The alchemist who created the Warrior and Guardian bloodlines.
