Cheryl's 17-year-old sister. She helps turn Charon into Cheryl via makeover.
- Cool Big Sis: Very supportive of Cheryl, both before and after she came out as trans.
- Cosplay: Chelsie is an avid cosplayer, which is how she honed her makeover skills.

Hank

Cheryl's Classmates
Zack
Cheryl's best friend.
Delilah
A girl who sits next to Charon at school. She and Cheryl quickly become friends (and may become something more).
- Love Interest: Seems to be heading this way.
Adrian
A friend of Zack and Cheryl.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: When Charon asks Adrian if he would like to be a cute anime girl, Adrian says yes. He later explains that he wouldn't mind trying it out, but wouldn't want to become one full time, implying that he isn't a trans girl, but might be non-binary, genderfluid, or just gender non-conforming. For that matter, Adrian's appearance is already more feminine.
- Token Black Friend: The only black person in Cheryl's friend group.
Randy
A former friend of Zach and Charon.
Gina
A friend of Delilah.
- Closet Gay: When Delilah brings up wanting to be a boy as a hypothetical, Gina casually acts like it's normal for girls to want to be boys, heavily implying that she is actually a trans boy but unaware of it.
Tristan
A classmate of Charon who has a crush on Cheryl (not realizing that they're the same person).
