- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he is aloof, very moody, and easily frustrated, it's shown how much he cares about the others. He loves Chiara and he also tries to protect other people (Ludovica, Fabio, Natalia) more than once.
- Karma Houdini: At the end, he doesn't receive much comeuppance for drug dealing, working for Fiore, and other stuff. That said, Fiore was blackmailing him.

Camilla Govender Rossi
Played by: Chabeli Sastre Gonzalez
Chiara's (former) best friend and Niccolò's sister.
- Academic Alpha Bitch: She is an ambitious student, a pretentious know-it-all, and her attitude is uptight at best and outright bitchy at worse.
- Academic Athlete: Like Chiara, she is an honor student and also an athlete who takes part in running races.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Downplayed. In season 1, she has a crush on local bad boy Damiano because she thinks he has a Hidden Heart of Gold, after talking to him. She gets over it, when she realizes Damiano likes Chiara.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She thinks of herself as a mature good girl, but she is not a nice friend, and has a mean streak. She gets worse in season 2.
- Fair-Weather Friend: Other than being an unreliable friend to Chiara, she also becomes this to Fabio (her other best friend) in season 2. When Fabio gets bullied by Camilla's brother and his friends, Camilla doesn't even try to defend him.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She is the hardworking goody-two-shoes (Responsible), while her brother Niccolò is the more immature one.
- Holier Than Thou: Camilla is very judgmental and quick to criticize other people's supposedly wrong behavior. Both her brother and Chiara call her out on it.
- Hypocrite: In season 1, she criticizes her brother Niccolò for being immature and selfish. She has point, but in season 2, she acts even worse than him.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She isn't any better like brother, but she's not bad a person at all. But it grew her into a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk in season 2, and she's seems to be back to this again in season 3.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At some point, in season 2, it appears that she wants to make peace with Chiara, but then she tricks her to get her in trouble. In season 3, her Heel–Face Turn seems more genuine, but she rarely appears.
- Out of Focus: She gets much less focus after season 1. In season 3, she's so irrelevant that she doesn't even appear in the Grand Finale.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In season 1, Camilla has a negative attitude that irritates other people, but is not a bad person deep down, as she seems to consider Chiara a good friend, and she tries to understand Damiano initially. Sadly, she goes full Jerkass in season 2. She gets better in season 3, but it's hard to tell.
- We Used to Be Friends: Chiara's best friend in sesason 1, but they drift apart after that.
Fabio Fedeli
Played by: Brando Pacitto
The principal's son, and a friend of Chiara and Camilla.
- Alliterative Name: Fabio Fedeli
- Bully Magnet: After his coming out, Niccolò and his friends start picking on him. Thankfully Damiano and later Chiara come to his defense.
- Butt-Monkey: Especially in the scenes where he gets bullied or humiliated by some jerks at school.
- Closet Key: For Brando, who had never realized his sexuality, until he starts to have feelings for Fabio.
- Gay Best Friend: Surprisingly, Fabio becomes this to Ludovica in season 2 and 3, especially after their parents start dating. He's probably Ludovica's only real friend aside from Chiara.
- The Generic Guy: He doesn't have many characteristics other than being gay and the principal's son. Other than that, he's a quite average guy.
- Nice Guy: Easily one of the nicest characters. He cares a lot about his friends.
- Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Damiano's Manly Man. Damiano is the aloof bad boy of the school, Fabio is a short, dorky nice guy. They become friends.
- Younger Than They Look: He's a teenager but looks much older than his classmates, due to his haircut. Even his actor is only slightly older than the rest of the cast (22 in season 1) and Camilla's actress is actually older than him.
Niccolò Govender Rossi
Played by: Lorenzo Zurzolo
Camilla's brother. Despite having another girlfriend, he had a secret affair with Chiara at the beginning.
- Big Jerk on Campus: He is very popular at school, and acts like as a complete Jerkass in early episodes.
- The Bully: Towards Damiano in season 1 (in a Crazy Jealous Guy way), and towards Fabio in season 2 (in an homophobic way). Also, he and Brando harass street prostitutes for fun.
- Chick Magnet: He attracts Chiara, Virginia, his Hot Teacher Monica, and probably more according to his conversations with his friends.
- Character Development: By the end of season 2, he starts to redeem himself and shows genuine care towards Chiara. This is shown even more in season 3.

- Everyone Has Standards: At the end of season 2, he is clearly angry when Brando blackmails Chiara.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Niccolò is an immature party boy (Foolish), while his sister Camilla is more of a goody-two-shoes (Responsible).
- Jerkass: In season 1 and the first half of season 2. He cheats on his girlfriend and is an aggressive bully.
- Jerkass Realization: In the infamous bathroom scene, he bullies Fabio along with his friends, and when Chiara defends Fabio, you can tell he feels genuinely guilty. From that point on, he Took a Level in Kindness.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite treating Chiara badly in the first season, he loves her deep down. By season 3, he is probably the person who supports her the most.
- Karma Houdini: In season 1, he vandalizes the headmaster's office and lets Damiano take the blame. Nobody has ever discovered what he did, aside from his sister.
- Lady Killer In Love: Initially, he is known as a ladies man who only cares about sex and cheats on Virginia with many girls. But it's implied that his feelings for Chiara are genuine, and he still loves her at the end of the show.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Along with Brando. They are sexist, racist, and homophobic, at least initially. After Brando's coming out, Niccolò ends up being a supporting friend at the end of season 3.
- Teacher/Student Romance: He has a secret affair with his gym teacher Monica (who is also Damiano's stepmother) but Monica eventually breaks up with him.
- Took a Level in Kindness: He becomes a much better person in later episodes.
Brando De Sanctis
Played by: Mirko Trovato
Niccolò's best friend and the guy who released Ludovica's sex tape.
- Armoured Closet Gay: As we learn in season 2, Brando is in the closet but he pretends to be homophobic like his friends to keep his reputation at school.
- Ascended Extra: In season 1, Brando is a Satellite Character who only serves as Niccolò's equally jerkish friend and Ludovica's ex-boyfriend but we don't know almost anything about him. He has a larger role in season 2 and 3.
- The Bully: Even more than his friend Niccolò. He enjoys bullying and humiliating people For the Evulz.
- Camera Fiend: He usually uses his phone to film people or take pictures, whether they like it or not.
- Character Development: While Niccolò gets his redemption arc in the second half of season 2, Brando gets it in season 3, after a Jerkass Realization.
- Freudian Excuse: His father is a Jerkass who would never accept his son the way he is. No wonder Brando turns out to be a horrible person like him.
- Heel–Face Turn: A villain in the first two seasons. In season 3, he becomes more honest with his feelings for Fabio, and eventually confesses his wrongdoings to help Chiara and Ludovica at the trial.
- Jerkass: One of the most cruel and antagonistic charcaters in the first two seasons. He gets better in season 3.
- Loving Bully: He bullies Fabio along with his friends, but it's later revealed that he's secretly attracted to him. Even after they start a secret relationship, he keeps bullying him when there are other people around, much to Fabio's dismay.

- Secret-Keeper: He finds out about Chiara's double life in season 2, but initially only uses it to blackmail her. Her secret is only made public by the end of season 3.
- Stalker without a Crush:
- Brando often stalks people to secretly film them or take pictures of them, only because he likes to have some material against the others, to humiliate, blackmail, or just mess with them.
- At the end of season 2, he sexually assaults Chiara who is just The Beard to him, as he wants to film a video about them together and prove others that he's not gay.
- The Unfavorite: His father seems to prefer Brando's sister Perla over him, due to Brando causing more trouble for the family and ruining his sister's opportunities.
Virginia
Played by: Federica Lucaferri
Niccolò's girlfriend, and the school's Alpha Bitch.
- Alpha Bitch: Blonde, pretty, popular, dating the Big Jerk on Campus, has a Girl Posse, and acts mean to both Chiara and Ludovica.
- Break the Haughty: She breaks down crying three times, twice because of Niccolò's cheating and another time due her own scheme backfiring, to the point that other characters feel sorry for her.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She doesn't react well when there's another girl between her and Niccolò. Since Niccolò is a serial cheater, she has a point.
- Fake Pregnancy: When Niccolò wants to break up with her, she lies to him about being pregnant.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While she has no reason to bully Ludovica, her hostility towards Chiara is more understandable, since Chiara had an affair with Virginia's boyfriend.
- Satellite Love Interest: Virginia is only defined by her relationship with Niccolò and her jealousy when Niccolò seems to like someone else. Other than that, she's just a generic mean girl.
- Yandere: She's a bit obsessed with Niccolò. She knows he cheats on her but instead of ending the relationship, she's ready to humiliate her romantic rival Chiara. In one scene, she literally said that she will kill herself if Niccolò dumps her. She even uses the Fake Pregnancy manipulation when she's scared of losing him.
Vittorio and Carlo
Played by: Sergio Ruggeri and Filippo Marsili
Two friends of Niccolò and Brando. They appear in season 2 and 3.
- The Bully: Along with Niccolò and sometimes Brando, they like to bully Fabio, literally pushing him around.
- Hate Sink: The only teenage characters who are this trope. Niccolò, Brando, and (to an extent) Camilla redeem themselves in season 3, and even Virginia is pitiable at times. Vittorio and Carlo have no positive traits.
- Jerkass to One: They are jerks to everyone, but especially Fabio, due to their homophobia.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: They are clearly homophobic, and also very sexist when talking about women.
- Replacement Flat Character: In season 1, Niccolò and Brando were one-dimensional bullies. Since they both become more complex characters in season 2, Vittorio and Carlo are introduced to be "those two bullies" who are just there to be Hate Sinks.
- Satellite Character: Aside from hanging out with Niccolò and Brando (and bullying Fabio), they have no role in the story.
- Those Two Guys: They usually appear together, though Vittorio seems to be more of a leader of the two.
Aurora
Played by: Anna Lou Castoldi
Intruduced in the last season, she's a girl who bonds with Damiano after his break-up with Chiara.
- Betty and Veronica: She looks like the Veronica (an alternative girl and newcomer in Damiano's life) to Chiara's Betty (the Class Princess and Damiano's love interest since the first season). But she's actually the unproblematic Betty to Chiara's troubled Veronica.
- Brutal Honesty: She always speaks her mind, even when she disagrees.
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl: An alternative girl with a positive disposition who has an impact on the brooding Damiano.
- The Pollyanna: In contrast to Damiano being more pessimistic due to his own issues, Aurora has a positive outlook.
- Satellite Love Interest: Even more than Virginia. Besides Damiano, she has no connection with the other protagonists at all, and has only ever interacted with him. The only time she talks to other people, they were minor characters, it was a group scene, and Damiano was there too.
Sofia Mancini
Played by: Alessia Scriboni
Another teen prostitute from another school. Chiara meets her at a party.
- Broken Bird: In season 3, after getting caught and her secret life becomes public, she's forced to leave her school and is put in a group home.
- Good Bad Girl: Like Chiara and Ludovica, she's not a mean girl, despite her double life as a prostitute. Even after she's put under pressure by the police, she doesn't snitch on Chiara, but only reveals Chiara's fake name "Emma".
- Secret Sex Worker: She's a student with a secret life as a prostitute, at least before getting caught. However, unlike Chiara and Ludovica, she uses her real name Sofia with her clients, likely without revealing her surname.
- Small Role, Big Impact:
- She's only a secondary character but, thanks to her help, Chiara is able to get out of trouble with Brando at the end of season 2. And thanks to Sofia's video, Brando's father gets arrested in the following season.
- She later becomes the instigator of the main storyline in season 3, since she gets caught and unwillingly starts all the police involvement in the case of another mysterious teen prostitute, "Emma".
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her getting questioned by the police in early season 3 leads to the start of the investigations about another teen prostitute at Collodi high school, which is the cause of all the legal troubles of Chiara and Ludovica.
Adults
Fiore
Played by: Giuseppe Maggio

- Big Bad: Was The Dragon to Saverio in the first season, but becomes the main villain in season 2 and 3.
- Consummate Liar: Part of his manipulative nature. At the trial, he even tries to twist the story and tell the judge that he has been manipulated by Ludovica and Damiano. Thankfully, Natalia knows the whole story and testifies against him.
- The Dragon: In season 1, he helps his cousin Saverio, the boss who organizes the prostitution ring.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In a twisted way, he seems to really love Ludovica. In season 1, he offers to pay her school fees, and beats up Brando for humiliating her.
- Fluffy the Terrible: "Fiore" (Italian for "flower") is the nickname of this dangerous and manipulative pimp.
- Manipulative Bastard: Along with Saverio, he manipulates the girls into working as prostitutes. In season 2, he even pays a creepy guy to stalk and terrorize Ludovica, so she would feel unsafe and he could play the role of the "protector". In season 3, he manipulates Ludovica into thinking that nobody cares about her except him.
- Mr. Fanservice: Fiore is a good-looking man, and occasionally appears shirtless in his scenes with Ludovica or his ex-girlfriend Natalia.

- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He's a dark-haired guy who is much taller than Ludovica, and is a Mr. Fanservice.
- Villainous Crush: On Ludovica, though she actually likes him back initially. While he has some twisted affection for her, Ludovica dumps him after realizing that he's a toxic and emotionally abusive man who cares more about his business. Even more so in season 3, when he manipulates her into running away with him.
Saverio
Played by: Paolo Calabresi
A pimp, nightclub owner, and Fiore's boss.
- Asshole Victim: His death at the end of season 1 was an accident, but it's hard to find anyone who could be sad about it or miss Saverio, aside from maybe his cousin Fiore.

- The Corrupter: The one who introduces Chiara and Ludovica to prostitution at the start of the show.
- Dirty Old Man: He's in his late fifties, and creepily attracted to young girls, especially poor Ludovica.
- Faux Affably Evil: He presents himself as a friendly bartender who is just offering the girls an "opportunity". He's actually a creepy and manipulative Dirty Old Man.
- Hate Sink: While Fiore has some Anti-Villain qualities in the early episodes, there's nothing remotely good about Saverio. He's explicitly written to he a creepy and hateable villain, and nobody misses him after he dies.
- Jerkass: A sleazy guy who has no problem sexually assaulting a young girl when she is too drunk to react.
- Karmic Death: He dies in a car crash at the end of season 1. The car crash was caused by the driver Damiano, in order to stop Saverio from sexually assaulting and almost raping a drunk Ludovica.
Elsa Altieri Della Rocca
Played by: Galatea Ranzi
Chiara's mother.
- Ambition Is Evil: In season 3, she is a candidate who wants to win an important election. To succeed, she's ready to screw over Ludovica's life.
- Adaptational Villainy: Compared to her real life counterpart. Near the end of the show, there's an investigation in high school to find out who is the girl involved in prostitution. When she finds out about the secret of Chiara and her friend Ludovica, Elsa tells the school everything only about Ludovica, in order to save her family's reputation. In real life, Angela's mother (Elsa is based on her) called the police to figure out how her daughter suddenly came into a lot of wealth.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She usually acts like a respectable person in public, but is actually selfish and ruthless. She even pretends to be nice to Ludovica's mother, but the latter shouldn't have trusted Elsa.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Her electoral campaign eventually fails after her daughter's revelation about her double life. That's karma for what Elsa tried to do to Ludovica.
- Rich Bitch: A rich lady who is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold in early episodes, but turns into a businesswoman who only cares about power and reputation in season 3.
- Same Character, But Different: In season 3, she's basically a different character, with just the same name and played by the same actress. She goes from blonde to brunette, has political ambitions that she never showed in early seasons, and suddenly becomes a villain whose behavior is disapproved even by her husband. Even the family's house is completely different, with no explanation for this.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: In the first two seasons, she's a sympathetic mother struggling with Awful Wedded Life. In season 3, she becomes ruthless and is completely willing to ruin Ludovica's life with no remorse.
Arturo Altieri
Played by: Massimo Poggio
Chiara's father.
- Alliterative Name: Arturo Altieri.

Simonetta Loreti
Played by: Isabella Ferrari
Ludovica's single mother.
- Adaptational Heroism: Compared to her real life counterpart. In this show, Simonetta is initially oblivious to her daughter's double life as a prostitute, and when she finds out, she's shocked and conflicted; while she's too weak to do anything and doesn't try to stop Ludovica, she eventually confesses the truth. And despite being irresponsible, she genuinely loves her daughter and wants the best for her. In real life, Agnese's single mother (Simonetta is based on her) pressured her to continue even when Agnese wanted to quit, because she needed more money after being left by her husband.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Her relation with Ludovica is strained in season 1, and Ludovica has little patience for her mother's negligence. As the series goes on, it's shown that Simonetta really cares for Ludovica, and they become very close in the last season.
- Parental Neglect: In season 1, she is seen wasting the money Ludonica needs for school, and pays more attention to her new boyfriend. She gets better.
- Parents as People: Despite being an irresponsible mother, she eventually tries to improve, although she still makes bad choices. However, in the last season, she supports Ludovica and encourages her to get her act together.
- Secret-Keeper: She finds out about her teenage daughter secretly working as a prostitute at the end of season 2, but doesn't do anything about it until the last few episodes. After admitting that she used Ludovica's money, she ends up in jail at the end.
- Struggling Single Mother: She's a single mother who struggles with money and has trouble raising her daughter. The money problems are also Simonetta's fault, since she constantly wastes money and is manipulated by her mooching boyfriend.
- Womanchild: Even Ludovica, who is a problematic teenager, acts more mature than her mother.
Alberto Fedeli
Played by: Tommaso Ragno
The principal of Collodi high school and Fabio's father.
- Dean Bitterman: Downplayed. He seems a strict authority figure to the students initially, but at the end his decisions turn out to be reasonable.
- Open-Minded Parent: He's perfectly fine after his son Fabio comes out as gay.
- Opposites Attract: Despite being a very serious and hard-working person, he has a relationship with flaky Womanchild Simonetta.
- Parental Substitute: After he starts dating Ludovica's mother in season 2, he becomes a good parental figure to Ludovica.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the most reasonable and least problematic adult figures on the show. While he seems uptight, he's actually good father and a good principal who tries to be understanding.
Monica Petrelli
Played by: Claudia Pandolfi
The gym teacher who is married to Damiano's father.
