11	!!Gemma Doyle
12
13	The protagonist, and one of the four main characters in the series.
14
15	* ActionGirl: Slowly evolves into this.
16	* AntiHero
17	* ActionSurvivor: Initially.
18	* BewareTheNiceOnes: It takes a lot to get her to the breaking point, but once she gets there, the offending party is in for a world of trouble.
19	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Seemed to be this prior to her mother's death.
20	%%* TheChosenOne
21	%%* CuteWitch
22	%%* DeadpanSnarker
23	%%* FirstPersonSmartass
24	* EroticDream: Has these about Kartik.
25	* ExtremeDoormat: Not normally but definitely when it comes to her friends, especially in the first book.
26	* FieryRedhead: Gemma is usually sarcastic and even-tempered but she can slide into this territory at times.
27	%%* IJustWantToBeSpecial
28	%%* LetsGetDangerous
29	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gemma makes mistakes. While they don't happen often, when they do, the consequences are serious enough to more than qualify her for this trope.
30	* SlapSlapKiss: With Kartik.
31	* TrueCompanions: Is this with Felicity, Pippa, and Ann but their friendship is tested often.
32	* TheLancer: Unusually, despite being the main character who narrates the story and having the most ties to the plot, Gemma is this to the spirited Felicity.
33
34	!!Felicity Worthington
35	* AbusiveParents: Her mother is flighty enough to cause scandal for the conservative times. [[spoiler: Then there's her father...]]
36	%%* ActionGirl
37	* AlphaBitch: Before befriending Gemma, Felicity could be ruthless. Afterwards she is more of a...
38	** LovableAlphaBitch
39	%%* AttentionWhore
40	* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Referencing what her father did to her is not a good idea.]]
41	%%* BrokenBird
42	* TheCorruptible: [[spoiler:Is swayed the most and the consequences of being corrupted are extremely dire.]]
43	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
44	%%* DeadpanSnarker
45	%%* DefrostingIceQueen
46	* DumbBlonde: Averted. Felicity has the most social smarts which makes her the "smartest" of the girls in a society where fitting in is so very important.
47	* LipstickLesbian: [[spoiler: With Pippa.]]
48	* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Thankfully averted, despite many hints that this would be the case.]]
49	%%* GoodIsNotNice
50	* GreenEyedMonster: Shows some signs towards the other girls, feeling that even [[TheChewToy Ann]] and Gemma are better off than she is.
51	%%* HiddenDepths
52	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
53	* TheLeader: Unusually, Felicity leads the girls in Victorian society and even in the realms after getting used to setting.
54	* SanitySlippage: Suffers from this [[spoiler:at the end of the first book when corrupted by the realms.]]
55	* VitriolicBestBuds: Her and Gemma.
56
57	!!Pippa Cross
58	%%* ArrangedMarriage
59	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:The consequence of remaining in the realms and eating its food.]]
60	%%* BigEater
61	* BrainlessBeauty: Somewhat subverted as Pippa is less dumb and more naive. But boy, [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom is she naive.]]
62	* TheCutie
63	** BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Her fate, beginning with her ArrangedMarriage.]]
64	** CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler:What happens to her. It makes her CuteAndPsycho]]
65	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
66	%%* EvilFormerFriend
67	* DrivenToSuicide: Not that this keeps her out of the story.
68	* FaceHeelTurn
69	* GirlyGirl: Deconstructed. Pippa only fits the role because she is the most traditionally feminine and has nothing else to recommend her besides her looks, and this causes her more problems than it solves. Pippa's condition throughout the story rallies her friends together, but it is because of circumstances and not because of her character. She is woefully helpless and dependent on others and contributes little to the group.
70	* LipstickLesbian: But in the last book SanitySlippage happens and she turns into a [[spoiler: PsychoLesbian.]]
71	* WalkingSpoiler: From the end of the first book onward.
72
73	!! Ann Bradshaw
74	* AbhorrentAdmirer: For Tom, but only because she isn't rich.
75	* AllTheOtherReindeer: Being a scholarship student of little beauty and no social skills, Ann was an easy target at Spence's.
76	* BeautifulAllAlong: Not in a transformational sense, but Ann's growing self-confidence makes her more happy which improves her appearance.
77	* BrainyBrunette: The most academically smart of the group.
78	* DeathByOriginStory: Her parents, but hey, DeceasedParentsAreTheBest
79	* ExtremeDoormat: Semi-justified. She lets the Spence girls (sometimes including Gemma, Fee, and Pip) walk all over her, because she knows full well that she can get expelled for the slightest infraction while the others could practically get away with murder.
80	%%* FriendlessBackground
81	* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: So much so that she uses her magic to make herself appear beautiful to others. Tellingly, this form looks absolutely nothing like Ann.
82	** Over time, Ann realizes that her fake beauty is actually costing her recognition for her real talents in singing and acting, and so she willingly stops hiding behind the illusion.
83	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Connected to her FriendlessBackground.
84	* LonelyTogether: How She and Gemma became friends.
85	* [[MySisterIsOffLimits My Brother Is Off Limits]]: Averted, Gemma has no problem with Ann's crush on Tom.
86	* SelfHarm: The bullying Ann endures drove her to scratch at her arms with her sewing needles.
87	%%* SexierAlterEgo
88	* ScholarshipStudent
89	* TheSmartGuy

92
93	[[folder:Supporting Characters]]
94
95	!!Kartik
96	* BattleCouple: With Gemma in "A Sweet Far Thing".
97	* CassandraTruth: His reasons aside, he was right about the realms being dangerous.
98	%%* DeadpanSnarker
99	%%* {{Determinator}}
100	* GreenEyedEpiphany: Was pretty clearly attracted to Gemma before Simon showed up but he forced Kartik to own up to his feelings.
101	* LoveInterest: For Gemma.
102	* KilledOffForReal: In a [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]].
103	%%* FaceHeelTurn
104	%%* TheMole
105	%%** FakeDefector: Later becomes this.
106	* SlapSlapKiss: With Gemma.
107	* StarcrossedLovers: Also with Gemma.
108	%%* TallDarkAndHandsome
109	%%** TallDarkAndSnarky
110
111	!!Miss Moore
112	%%* CoolTeacher
113	%%* DisproportionateRetribution
114	* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler:She is Circe.]]
115
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Antagonists]]
119
120	!!Circe
121	* AntiVillain: Turns into as the series goes on.
122	* BigBad: For the first two books, anyways.
123	* TheCorruptible: Is corrupted by the power of the bargain she made with the Winterlands
124	* EvilFormerFriend: [[spoiler: To Mary Dowd.]]
125	* EvenEvilHasStandards: In ''The Sweet Far Thing''.
126	* FriendlyEnemy: To Gemma.
127	* KilledOffForReal: At the end of "The Sweet Far Thing"
128	* ManipulativeBitch: The girls adore her and never suspect her to be Circe until after Gemma has let her into the realms
129	* PragmaticVillainy
130	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Tries to stop Eugenia to save herself, but to help Gemma as well. Though this does not actually kill her, Gemma gives her her place among the glory of the Order, effectively both causing her death once and for all, but also redeeming her
131	* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler:She is Mrs. Moore.]]
132	* WouldHurtAChild: Sacrifices Carolina to obtain power from the Winterlands
133	* YouAreNotAlone: A strange variation, but is there for Gemma when nobody else is due to her ability to exist in her darkness and Gemma's in a way other characters cannot.
134
135	!!Mrs. Eugenia Spence (spoiler character)
136	%%* BreakingSpeech
137	%%* FallenHero
138	%%* FaceHeelTurn
139	%%* HeroicSacrifice
140	%%* TheCorruptible
141
142	!!Amar
143	* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler: Possibly this is what motivated him to warn Kartik of his upcoming demise.]]
144	%%* FallenHero
145	* FateWorseThanDeath: Becomes one of the Winterlands creatures after dying to protect Gemma's mom
146	* HeelFaceTurn: Of sorts, though it's less a personal choice and more being corrupted by Circe's creature
147	* HeroicSacrifice: He died protecting Gemma's mother.
148	* SenselessSacrifice: Due to her suicide.
149	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Played with; though Amar shows up a few times in the series, we only met his original non-evil form once.
