The Main Cast
Thomas Benjamin Abrams aka Tom
- Author Avatar: His original purpose, before the author decided to make him a more important character.
- Character Blog: His own troper's page.
- Covert Pervert: He mentions being familiar with NWWL in an offhand comment.
- Nice Character, Mean Actor: If his Troper's Page is to be believed, outside the context of the comic, he is a sarcastic teen who isn't very fond of the direction the comic is going in.
- Otaku: Even used to look like the trope image.
- This Loser Is You: It's because he takes after his author.
Simon Star
- Child Prodigy: Regarding the use of Sonic Magic.
- Deadpan Snarker: His attitude dramatically changes during his encounter with the fake Maelstrom.
Hikari Yuki
- Good Bad Girl / Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Osaka's Number one delinquent, was previously involved in "Water Trade".
- Japanese Ranguage: Initially, she not only tended to mix up R and L, but also had trouble pronouncing consonants. This was gradually abandoned after she spent some time in Fairville, but her English is still awkward.
- Joshikousei
- Kimono Fanservice: She has a white Yukata with a Navel-Deep Neckline, and a sash tied in front.
- Sailor Fuku: Two sets. A blue one with short sleeves and short skirt, and an orange one with long sleeves and a regular skirt.
Adelheid Kaiser aka Adel
- Informed Ability: Her Healing abilities are yet to be seen put to use.
- No Smoking: Averted: She's seen smoking a cigarette on at least two occasions, with one instance even having two panels focusing on her throwing away and stepping on the chunk. Especially odd because she's still in High School.
- White Magician Girl: Due to her healing powers.
Mary Lawrence aka Marsha
- Hypocritical Humor: She dislikes magic, but has no problem with using psychic powers. Though how much of a hypocrite that makes her is up for debate.
- Mind Reading: She's a telepath, and tends to use this ability to communicate with Keysha or eavesdrop on people
- Power Glows: light purple discharges will occasionally appear on her front locks, whenever she's using telepathy.
Keysha Taylor
- Idiot Hair: Appears to function as an antenna of some sort.
- Also functions as Expressive Hair
- Let's Get Dangerous!: when there's danger, she kicks butt.
The Junior's League
Robert Stumpton aka Bob
- Blinding Camera Flash: His camera does all sorts of flashes. It's magic!
- Cool Shades: Of the flip-up variant - though he's never seen actually using them.
- Drives Like Crazy: Nearly runs over a recurring background character.
- Conspiracy Theorist: These are important facts everyone needs to know.
- The Hero: In Name Only
- Improbable Weapon User: His camera captures and banishes Demons.
Bernard Wellington aka Buck
- Art Evolution: Compare his final design with his very first appearance.
- Barrier Warrior: He seems to focus his summoning on shields and walls.
- Collectible Card Game: He plays Dawn Of Time, a trading card game. Which is basically a Shout-Out to Yu-Gi-Oh!.
- Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Immediately takes command from Bob when things turn ugly. Too bad things didn't turn out as he planned it.
- Summon Magic: can summon the objects depicted on his trading cards.
Peter Potter aka Pete
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Not an extreme example but compare him to Keysha. There's quite a difference in size.
- Power Glows: green discharges and flashes of light accompany every piece of earth he's manipulating.
- Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Played with. His hair grows from almost nothing, to rigiculous lengthswhen when his powers are activated, but falls out when deactivated.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: He's new at it.
- Odd Couple: He's Keysha's boyfriend.
- Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend: He's not really ugly, but as far as the male cast is concerned, he's not very handsome, to say the least. Keysha on the other hand...
Dorothy Daniels aka Dot
- Closer to Earth: Though it's pretty much a given, when compared to Bob.
- Kick Chick: kicks a crazy old gunwoman IN THE FACE!!!
