* MeaningfulName: Jacob means "supplanter" [[spoiler:When Abe dies, Jacob picks up where he left off killing hollowghasts, having inherited the same ability to see them]]

[[folder:Joel-And-Peter]]
!!Peter-And-Joel Bone

Twins with linked minds, who must stay physically connected all the times. They're from the same loop as Melina, and avoided capture by hiding in the dark. They refer to themselves as Peter-And-Joel and Joel-And-Peter. Which name they use really seems to depend on which body is talking.

* ComboPlatterPowers: TwinTelepathy (or possibly having one mind in two bodies), echolocation, and [[MakesMeWannaShout sonic yelling]]. Admittedly, the latter two are similar.

* OlderThanTheyLook: All loop dwellers.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Appears only in latter half of ''Hollow City'' and later shows up in coma in wights' fortress.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Because of his overuse of ambrosia, his face is completely melted.]]

* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Loops aren't exactly time ''travel''… they're more like time ''pockets''.

* ProperlyParanoid: Insists on a total lock-down of the house when suspecting wights hunting for them. She turns out to be right about the threat.

* SecondLove: Jacob

* {{Invisibility}}: His peculiarity. He's always invisible, whether he wants it or not. He pretty much always [[InvisibleStreaker goes in the nude]], as his powers don't extend to his clothes.

* PutOnABus: At the start of ''Hollow City'' she decides to stay in menagerie loop to take care of Claire.

* AscendedExtra: In this first book he was one of background peculiars with little impact on the proceedings. In the second book, he's one of secondary characters.

->''"Bronwyn Bruntley, berserker, taster of blood, [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength didn't know her own strength]] until the night she snapped her [[WickedStepmother rotten stepfather's]] neck."''

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He's unaggressive, dandish and spends his time in wights' prison knitting a scarf for Jacob.

* MasterOfDisguise: He's been spying on Portmans for years, from acting as their grocer to school buss driver to psychiatrist to ornithologist, and nobody realizes until he himself points it out.

* AgentPeacock: He dresses dandishly, although it's used more to underline his growing insanity.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He claims to be en expert on all matters concerning his search of Abaton. His skill is quickly proven when he manages to confuse the word for "shrink" with the word for "swift".

* RebelLeader: As the leader of Clay Wings, whom he considered to be a rebellion against the tyranny of ymbrynes.

* VoluntaryShapeshifter: Coming from a family of ymbynes, he too can shapeshift into a peregrine.

A hollowgast frozen in ice in Ymbryne Council Building, it (or ''him'') becomes Jacob's faithful pet/servant after the hollowgast's been accidentally communing with it throughout the night. It is thanks to him that Jacob discovers his ability to control hollowgast.

* LivingMacGuffin: Turns out to be instrumental to making Panloopticon functional.

* SuperStrength: Has no problems lifting a phone booth with two people in it above his head, and can bring down an entire bridge (admittedly, a wooden one in nineteenth century London slum).
* WetwareCPU: Ends up in a coma as the heart of Panloopticon, where he'll probably spend the rest of his existence. He's probably better off like this.

* CoolHouse: His mansion is the heart of Panloopticon, a machine connecting dozens of loops across the world.

* GadgeteerGenius: He's the designer of Panloopticon and the person behind the equation that destroys loops and [[spoiler:resets the age of loop-trapped peculiars.]]

* TheSmartGuy: Expert on magic engineering, {{magitek}} and Old Peculiar language.

* {{Contortionist}}: His peculiarity is apparently something about bending a ''lot''. He can fit in a tiny suitcase with no problem. According to ''Miss Peregrine's Museum of Wonders'', peculiar contortionists can "jelly their bones

* RussianGuySuffersMost: Poor Sergei. Out of all characters who don't die, he's the one most injured, and it's likely he didn't make it back to any loop before age caught up with him.

** There is one male character who can [[spoiler: shapeshift into a bird]] , but he is not a true ymbryne because he does not have their training or full range of abilities.

* MeaningfulName: Jacob means "supplanter" [[spoiler: When Abe dies, Jacob picks up where he left off killing hollowghasts, having inherited the same ability to see them]]

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: [[spoiler: did not inherit any peculiarities. Also overlaps with LineageComesFromTheFather]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Stays behind battling Caul to give others time to escape and collapse the loop he's in.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He gave Caul the first immortality equation in hopes of it wiping the Clay Wings out, but it turned out to be the method of creating hollowgast.

* TeamMom: She's very motherly for Joel-And-Peter, who are the only other two survivors from her loop.

!!Joel-And-Peter Bone

Twins with linked minds, who must stay physically connected all the times. They're from the same loop as Melina, and avoided capture by hiding in the dark.

* TheDividual: As their name suggests. Their TwinTelepathy caused them to pretty much become one person.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Part of them being of one mind at all times is that they sometimes forget to stick to one person when speaking, resulting in this.

* SingleMindedTwins: t's one of their peculiarities.

* {{Contortionist}}: His peculiarity is apparently something about bending a ''lot''. He can fit in a tiny suitcase with no problem.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: Underplayed. He shows Jacob a picture of his wife and child before being PutOnABus.

-->'''Jacob:''' Looks like she drew the line at wearing shoes, too.\\
'''Emma:''' She generally does.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Her side of the family owns one of the biggest chains of drugstores in Florida, but she doesn't appear to have a real job other than drinking wine and throwing elaborate parties to show off their home.

* MasterOfDisguise: In the first book, the main wight dramatically reveals himself as having been the new-in-town "professional birdwatcher", as well as Jake's middle school bus driver, his grandfather's neighbor, his family's yard-worker, and [[spoiler:his psychiatrist]].
