L
The main antagonist of Death Note and the protagonist of this fic. This fic is about his life from ages 4-8.
- Adopt-a-Servant: One of his foster parents treats him like a maid.
- Adorably Precocious Child: Naturally.
- Child Prodigy: A child prodigy who grows into one of the smartest people on the planet.
- Creepy Child: He invokes this a few times.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: This is his natural appearance, though the pallor is exacerbated by malnutrition and lack of sunlight.
- I Have Many Names: L's habit of using many fake names apparently started very young.
Aiko
L's mother.
- Abusive Parents: She is a pretty terrible mother to L, in large part because she blames him for her downward spiral.
- Necessarily Evil: She makes L steal things for her, because without the extra money they'd both be sleeping on the streets.
- Parental Abandonment: She was kicked out of the house by her own parents after becoming pregnant.
- Streetwalker: She's this type of prostitute.
Jiro
Aiko's pimp.
Sweets
A young male prostitute who befriends L.
- Hooker with a Heart of Gold
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's very kind once you get past the rude exterior.
- Kill the Cutie
Ena
- Axe-Crazy: She attempts to kill both L and another child for seemingly no reason. She displays many other deranged behaviors, too, like constant pacing, talking to people who aren't there, and being oddly fascinated by injuries.
