    Kyra Glen 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyra.png
Played by Kimie Tsukakoshi
Species: Tri-ling (Human + Fairy & Elf)
A teenage girl whose life is changed after an encounter with a magic book transforms her into a tri-ling, part-human, part-fairy, and part-elf. While wary of her new circumstances, she is learning to accept her newfound reality.
  • Expy: As the main character who suddenly found herself in a magical world where she has more power than her peers, has the elders concerned, and finds partway through the second season that she has a non-human parent responsible for her powers, she's one to Zac.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Touching the book with the Orb of Lemuria hidden inside while it was being blasted with Imogen's elf magic and Lily's fairy magic made her into a Tri-Ling. Or perhaps, she always was.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Her Orb magic gives her powers beyond what the others are capable of, the drawback being that she has little control over it.

    Imogen Blackwell

  • Ambiguously Gay: Her relationship with Tayla begins rocky, but ends with Imogen abandoning her dream of getting into the DMI to go to art school with her and getting into playful face-painting fights.
  • Cynic–Idealist Duo: The cynic to Lily's idealist.
  • Expy: As the aggressive, impatient, and unfriendly member of the cast with a low opinion of people she doesn't know, she's one to Ondina.

Species: Elf
An elf training to become a member of the DMI and Imogen's brother. Unlike his sister, he is more friendly to others and not as enthusiastic in his studies.

  • Token Human: Among the main cast, he's the only normal human with no magical powers (though he can still use magical artifacts). He admits as much to Mathilda.

  • Half-Human Hybrid: The result of a human/elf romance.

Species: Human

  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: In the same episode that she ends up getting into Kyra's secret, she handles it poorly and gets mind-wiped by the end.
  • Unwitting Muggle Friend: She's unaware of why Kyra keeps distancing from her and skipping basketball practice.

    Orla Maguire

  • Big Bad: Of the first season.
  • Kent Brockman News: Her day job is going undercover as a newscaster and giving pseudo-realistic explanations for all the magical accidents humans notice in River City.
  • Might Makes Right: A firm believer of this, which is why she wants the Orb. Once she does, she wastes no time flexing her magical power around to make everyone submit to her.
  • Super Supremacist: She wants to rule over humans as a magical empress. And given her snide comments about fairies, she's highly likely to make elves into the master race ruling over all.

    Sean Reegan 
Played by Nicholas Bell

The Director of Magic, and Lily's father.
