!Main Characters
[[folder:Xar]]
-> ''Xar was a wild young human boy who belonged to the Wizard tribe. He was a cheerful scruff of a boy, with a tremendous quiff of hair shooting upward from his forehead as if it had accidentally come into contact with some invisible vertical hurricane. Xar was the most disobedient boy in the Wizard kingdom in about four generations, and forbidding things only encouraged him.''
Xar is one of the two main characters of the series. He is the son of Encanzo the king of wizards, but still magic less at thirteen year old.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: Xar. A BoisterousWeakling with an InferioritySuperiorityComplex.
[[folder: Wish]]
-> ‘’The princess had a very long and regal name, but everybody called her Wish. She had a curious little face that was rather too interested in the world around her and hair that stuck out too wispily, as if she’d accidentally hit some unnoticed bit of static electricity. A black patch covered her left eye.’’
Wish is one of the two main characters of the books. She is the daughter of queen Sychorax, but secretly keeps an enchanted spoon as pet.
* [[spoiler: ResurrectiveImmortality: Wish is a Great Enchanter, and can come back to life if she is killed.]]
