5	----
6
7	* ActionGirlfriend: Is Thomas Flood's and throws around people many times her size.
8	* BadassAdorable: One of the least threatening vampires of all time.
9	* CuteBruiser: Manhandles big burly men on a regular basis despite being adorable.
10	* CursedWithAwesome: In general Jody loves being a vampire.
11	* FaceHeelTurn: In actuality she's a FakeDefector.
12	* FieryRedhead: Has waist-length redhair and a very simmering temper.
13	* FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire: Jody tries her best to get control of her hunger for blood but is mostly a 26 young urban professional.

21	!!Thomas Flood
22	Jody's love interest. A wannabe writer from Indiana who is living in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco to get inspiration. He works the graveyard shift at a Safeway along with the rest of the night crew known as The Animals.
23	----
24
25	* AndIMustScream: He gets encased in a bronze statue for months, and since he hasn't mastered the ability to become SuperSmoke, he goes insane.
26	* EasilyForgiven: He gets forgiven for having sex with her while she's sleeping during the day, putting Jody in a freezer, encasing her in bronze... Let's just say he would probably be let off for starting World War III.
27	* IHateYouVampireDad: Dislikes being turned, a lot.
28	* IJustWantToBeNormal: After wanting to be special and then getting some SuperEmpowering, he wants to be normal again. Gosh, make up your mind.
29	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In book 1. In book 2, wish granted.
30	* LikesOlderWomen: He has elements of this, as demonstrated by the fact that he's willing to immediately shack up with a woman seven years his senior.
31	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: In the first book at least, the associations of this trope are inverted, as it's the redhead who's the vampire.
32	* StylisticSuck: His writing is terrible. This despite his pretensions to being a genius.
33
34	!!Abby Normal
35	An [[PerkyGoth upbeat teenage goth girl]] introduced in ''You Suck''. She does Jody and Tommy's legwork in the daytime when they can't get out and do things themselves.
36	----
37
38	* BuffySpeak: Talks like a valley girl stereotype.
39	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Assumes a pair of weird Goths are vampires and wants to be their minion. Mind you, she was right and they let her.
40	* FirstPersonSmartass: Only Abby's chapters are narrated in the first person.
41	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Decides to become a vampire minion more or less the moment she meets a pair of actual vampires.
42	* JumpedAtTheCall: Abby was ''thrilled'' to find out that vampires actually existed and immediately consigned herself to be their errand girl.
43	* KissKissSlap: A literal example. Abby slaps her boyfriend Steven AKA "Foo Dog" after kissing him so he doesn't think she's a slut. She does this every time she kisses him.
44	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Played for humour. Jody's legs had been slow cooked in her jeans while she was asleep during the day. Abby walks in on her and describes the sight as "naked, burned-up thighs and her totally red pubes".
45	* PerkyGoth: Takes to being a vampire slave quite well.
46	* PhantasySpelling: Is very prone to using this.
47	* PunnyName: Abby Normal (Abnormal)

50	[[folder: Secondary Characters]]
51	!!Elijah Ben-Sapir
52	The original vampire who turned Jody. His vampirism was a side-effect of an alchemical attempt to obtain immortality. Also discovered teflon about 600 years before its modern widespread use.
53
54	%%* EvilMentor
55	* ILoveYouVampireSon: He wants to have this kind of relationship with another vampire, but since he sits firmly in the Betrayal [[StagesOfMonsterGrief stage of monster grief]], it sets quite a rift between him and any younger vampires.
56	%%* StalkingIsLove
57
58	!!The Emperor
59	A homeless man living in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco based on [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed real-life counterpart Emperor Norton]]. An all-around nice guy who loves the people of his city and takes his job seriously.
60	%%* BadassNormal
61	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
62	%%* HistoricalDomainCharacter
63	%%* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed
64
65	!!The Animals
66	Originally Thomas' coworkers, turned vampire minions or vampire hunters depending on circumstances.
67	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: All of them in different ways.
68	%%* GoldfishPoopGang: YMMV.
69	%%* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
70	* QuirkyMinibossSquad[=/=]RedshirtArmy: Depending what side they're on.
71	* ReallyGetsAround: Simon. Deconstructed in that his lifestyle of constant casual sex and drug use [[spoiler: ends up giving him AIDS]].
72	* UndeathAlwaysEnds: In ''You Suck'' The Animals all get turned into vampires and then turned back almost as quickly.
73	* VerticalKidnapping: ''Literature/BiteMe'' has one of the Animals vertically kidnapped by Chet, the huge vampire kitty. He's pretty much eaten right away, but still.
74	* WhosWatchingTheStore: Semi-justified in that The Animals seem to alternate between goofing around when they're supposed to be working, going off somewhere to do something crazy when they're supposed to be working and working double time to make up for all the time they don't spend working.
