* ContraltoOfDanger: Played with. She has a very deep voice, but Vas'ka finds it attractive, and she's quite nice, in fact... unless he's in mouse shape and she's unwittingly going to eat him.

* CelibateHero: Single and with no attachments throughout the series, most probably due to his shyness. He doesn't even get an opportunity for RescueRomance, since all the damsels in distress he saves are either little girls or already in a relationship. In ''Princess Wennie'', in particular, he is absolutely enchanted by Smirinka's beauty the moment he sees her, but at that point she is [[spoiler:happily reunited with Aurint]].

!! Vas'ka
Alyosha's sidekick and pupil, a striped cat. Painted by Vasya Vertushinkin and brought to life by Alyosha.
----
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In ''Astrel and the Forest's Guardian'', he personally fights ''Kargor'' and ''wins''. Mostly because Kargor was in his raven form and Vas'ka didn't know it was him. Still, even as a raven, Kargor isn't to be trifled with due to his enormous size and vicious claws and beak.
* LaughablyEvil: In ''The Wizard's Pupil'', he wreaks havoc on the town by turning creatures and objects into mice. And still stays hungry because he can't eat a barking mouse or a mouse that smells of wood.
* OfficialCouple: With Murka from the end of book one. She likes to tease him every now and again, though, by being affectionate to other tomcats.
* TookALevelInBadass: Starts as a MilesGloriosus, but grows better, especially in the last two books.
* VegetarianCarnivore: Mostly cares for dairy products after becoming friends with the Mouse Queen and Swallow Two Spots.

!! Vasya Vertushinkin
A boy from the neighborhood, one of Alyosha's friends. Likes painting and drawing best of all; he paints Vas'ka, a picture of the Sad City, and the door that Alyosha uses to enter Astrel's realm. Used to boast quite a lot but learned his mistakes in ''The Wizard's Pupil''.
----
* MilesGloriosus: Has shades of it in ''The Wizard's Pupil'' when he boasts he can walk among wild animals unharmed.
* PuppyLove: With Katya.

!! Katya
Vasya's friend on whom he has quite a bit of crush. Due to an accident, she ends up accompanying Alyosha into the magical universe in ''A Girl Named Glazastik''.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's about the nicest girl you'll ever meet, but in ''Glazastik'' she proves it doesn't make her a wimp.
* InnocentBystander: Follows Alyosha through a door (to offer him a cake) without realizing it's a door to another universe.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: When she looks at him with her shining eyes, Vasya is prone to do stupid things (like think up an especially unrealistic boast).

!! The Genie
The incredibly mighty and incredibly whiny magical creature who lives in a thermos and then in a matchbox.
----
* TheEeyore: So much that Alyosha only asks him for help as a last resort.
* InstantAllegianceArtifact: Whoever possesses his current "home" gains power over him.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Gives flowery Arabian Nights-style speeches at every moment.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: He was forced to work against Alyosha when King Krapodin stole the thermos in ''A Girl Named Glazastik'', but since he couldn't very well fight his own magic (although he could have warned about it), Alyosha takes him back.

!! Murka
An elegant red cat, Vas'ka's girlfriend.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Downplayed. She likes the roguish Vas'ka, but she does appreciate qualities such as honesty.
* SpiritedYoungLady: A feline version. She's graceful and beautiful, but has a mind of her own all right.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: The first time Vas'ka meets her, she's quite aloof and haughty (later, her thoughts reveal that she simply [[DoesNotLikeMen doesn't like tomcats]] due to being disappointed in them).

* ShrinkingViolet: A rare male example. He's comfortable with children, animals, or his genie but painfully shy with adults. That is, until real danger strikes (see BadassBookworm above).

A [[VagueAge young]] kindly wizard who lives in a small town, collects children's paintings and happens to possess one of the most powerful magical artifacts in the multiverse.
----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Downplayed; he does occasionally forget about small household matters like buying sugar.
* BadassBookworm: He looks like your average helpless nerd, but he's quite capable of facing great dark wizards if necessary and live to tell the tale. He wasn't entrusted with the magical chalk for nothing.
* BlueCollarWarlock: Even when he's in a magical universe, he doesn't don a robe and flick wands.
