* FirstPersonSmartass: Downplayed, but she has her moments, mostly consisting of thinking snarky things about the school bullies.



!! Skye Tierney
* AllGirlsLikePonies: Skye has loved ponies and horses ever since she was kid and still loves them now, being very affectionate towards her horse. She actually [[spoiler: makes a point of bringing her horse with her when she and Balthazar have to leave town at the end of ''Balthazar'', stating ''"The vampires might have taken her home away from her, but she'd be damned if they'd get her horse too."'']].

* BrokenBird: Having her brother die suddenly, her parents ignore her, her boyfriend dump her for another girl and getting stuck with [[spoiler: psychic powers]] she can't control hasn't helped her well-being much, though she handles it reasonably well.
* CoolHorse: Her horse, Eb (short for 'Ebony Wind'), who is very loyal to her even in the face of peril.
* {{Determinator}}: In the climax of ''Balthazar'', she throws herself from a moving vehicle despite being weak from blood loss, runs through snowy woods in the dark and then swims across a freezing river in ''just her underwear'' to get away from Redgrave's tribe.

* AxCrazy

to:

* AxCrazyAxCrazy: Oh, yes.



* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Her family was tortured and murdered in front of her, it's implied she was tortured too, she was turned into a vampire by her own brother (who [[spoiler: picked her over turning his love interest]]), which severely traumatised her and spent at least three centuries hanging out with vampires who think torture and murder is fun. It's heavily implied that Redgrave brainwashed and coerced her into a sexual relationship with him. It's not really all that surprising she turned out the way she did.

He spent a hundred years or so with Redgrave's tribe, only tolerating their decadence and callous murder of humans for his sister's sake; when he eventually left, he was forced to go alone. He can never stay in any place for too long and human friends he has made have been known to reject him if they find out the truth, and he is forever haunted by the loved ones he has lost and by his failure to protect his sister.
