11	!!Rachel/Risika
12	Risika is a vampire who was turned about 300 years before the start of ''In the Forests of the Night''. Her original human name was Rachel.
13	* AndYourLittleDogToo: Risika kills one of Aubrey's hunters and delivers the ashes straight to Aubrey in a plastic bag... as a warning. This is probably what prompts [[spoiler: Aubrey killing Tora.]]
14	* AnimalMotifs: As a tiger. [[VoluntaryShapeshifting It helps that she can transform into one.]]
15	* BerserkButton: Aubrey really shouldn't have [[spoiler:[[AndYourLittleDogToo killed her tiger.]]]]
16	* BreakTheCutie: We see it happen in the flashbacks.
17	* BrokenBird: Until her [[TookALevelInBadass level in badass.]]
18	* CatsAreMean: Tigers count as cats, right?
19	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As it turns out.
20	** DareToBeBadass
21	* CursedWithAwesome: She feels this way about being turned into a vampire.
22	* DarkAndTroubledPast: And we get to see every second of it.
23	* FullyEmbracedFiend: ''In the Forests of the Night'' is about Risika gradually accepting her place in the world as a vampire.
24	* IHateYouVampireDad: Averted. Risika is rather indifferent to Ather and instead directs all her vampire angst and anger onto Aubrey. [[spoiler: Turns out she was right. [[WordOfGod Word of God]] says that [[http://welcometonyeusigrube.blogspot.com/2015/09/perspectives.html Aubrey was the one who convinced Ather to turn her]]]].
25	* OhCrap: She gets an internal one when she finds out that [[spoiler: [[AndYourLittleDogToo Aubrey killed Tora.]]]]
26	%%* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname
27	* TheStoic: Mostly.
28	** NotSoStoic: When [[spoiler: Aubrey kills Tora.]]
29	* TookALevelInBadass: At the very end of ''In the Forests of the Night'', just in time for a ShapeshifterShowdown with Aubrey.
30	!!Aubrey
31	Aubrey is a rather old vampire, who was created by Ather. He's the main antagonist of ''In the Forests of the Night'', but he [[PromotedToLoveInterest switches to love interest]] in ''Demon in my View''.
32	%%* AffablyEvil
33	* AndYourLittleDogToo: [[spoiler: Aubrey kills Risika's tiger simply to threaten Risika herself]].
34	%%* AntiVillain
35	%%* AscendedDemon: As of ''Demon in my View''.
36	* AxCrazy: We have no real conformation that he's crazy, but he certainly acts like it at times.
37	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sort of. If you read ''Demon in my View'' before ''In the Forests of the Night'', it's hard to imagine how Aubrey could possibly be a villain.
38	%%* BigBad: Of ''In the Forests of the Night''.
39	* DarkIsEvil[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: Depending on the book.
40	* CruelToBeKind: Every time he shows up in ''In the Forests of the Night'' to antagonize Risika, it's actually him trying to help her. [[http://welcometonyeusigrube.blogspot.com/2015/09/perspectives.html Confirmed by Word of God]].
41	** [[spoiler: When he tricks her into drinking from her stepmother, it's to teach her not to go too long without feeding.]]
42	** [[spoiler: When he provokes her into fighting him, it's to get her to take her place in vampire society instead of being a loner.]]
43	** [[spoiler: Aubrey made a deal with Pandora to keep Risika and her brother apart (and have her believe he was dead) so that she could accept her new life as a vampire.]]
44	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Aubrey has Jessica, although we don't see it until he's no longer a bad guy.
45	* EvilGloating: Aubrey does this right after [[spoiler: [[AndYourLittleDogToo he kills Risika's tiger.]]]]
46	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend
47	* GoodIsNotNice: Even when he's not evil, he's sort of a {{Jerkass}}.
48	* HeelFaceTurn: Played with in ''Demon in my View''. He didn't have any particular change of heart, he just went from villain to protagonist.
49	%%* {{Jerkass}}: In ''In the Forests of the Night''.
50	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In ''Demon in my View''.
51	%%* MrFanservice
52	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: In his BigDamnKiss with Jessica and when he shows genuine concern over Jessica's fate while talking to Caryn.]]
53	%%* PromotedToLoveInterest: In ''Demon in my View''.
54	%%* RomanticVampireBoy: To Jessica.
55	* StalkerWithACrush: To Jessica in ''Demon in my View'', although it didn't start out this way. Could also be the case with [[FoeRomanceSubtext Risika]] since [[https://newmayhem.tumblr.com/post/637520484468146176/character-analysis-aubrey-part-1 it has been confirmed]] that he'd been tracking her long before Ather took notice.
56	%%* VampiresAreRich
57	%%* VampiresAreSexGods
58	* VillainDecay: He's not a villain at all anymore in ''Demon in my View''.
59	!!Lord Daryl
60	Lord Daryl is Turquoise's former slave master in Midnight, and the villain of ''Midnight Predator''.
61	%%* AxCrazy
62	%%* BigBad: Of ''Midnight Predator''.
63	%%* DarkIsEvil
64	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend
65	* {{Jerkass}}: Probably the biggest example in the series.
66	* KarmicDeath: Turquoise killed him because he put her in slavery for years. Sounds like karma to me!
67	%%* TheRival: To Turquoise.
68	* TooPowerfulToLive: Lord Daryl, both in the sense of his magical powers, and in his position as an important vampire in Midnight.
69	%%* VampiresAreRich
70	!!Christopher/Kristopher
71	Christopher is a vampire that Sarah meets in a school and [[spoiler: [[RomanticVampireBoy eventually gets into a relationship with.]]]] Kristopher refers to when [[spoiler: [[AxCrazy he was much more destructive]]]], and he's called Kristopher for the entirety of ''All Just Glass''. He is [[spoiler: Nikolas's twin brother.]]
72	%%* AscendedDemon
73	%%* AxCrazy: In his past; he got better before the start of the series.
74	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
75	%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
76	%%* HeelFaceTurn: Before the start of the series.
77	%%* IAmAMonster: He struggles with it, to some extent.
78	* TheKillerInMe: Yet another trope that only applied before the start of the series.
79	* MeaningfulName: Sort of. In ''Shattered Mirror'', it really matters whether or not they refer to him as 'Christopher' or 'Kristopher'. In ''All Just Glass'', they call him Kristopher the entire time.
80	%%* NonActionGuy
81	%%* RomanticVampireBoy: To Sarah.
82	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: A rare, intentional example. For most of ''Shattered Mirror'', Christopher's name is spelled with a 'Ch' at the beginning. However, when characters refer to him before around 50 years ago, it's spelled with a 'K' at the beginning (Kristopher).
83	%%* TroubledButCute: Oh so much.
84	%%* VampiresAreRich
85	!!Shevaun
86	Shevaun is one of two protagonists of ''Persistence of Memory''. She is a TrueNeutral AntiHero, who is linked to Erin for unknown reasons.
87	%%* AntiHero
88	* DarkIsNotEvil: Not necessarily, anyway.
89	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend
90	* HappilyMarried: To Adjila, although they aren't technically married.
91	* {{Jerkass}}: To anyone who's not Adjila.
92	* LaughablyEvil: She gets some criticisms of this, despite the author's attempts to make her TrueNeutral.
93	%%* TheStoic
94	** NotSoStoic: When [[spoiler: she almost kills Erin's mother.]]
95	%%* VampiresAreRich
96	!!Nikolas
97	Nikolas is a vampire and the sworn enemy of the Vida line because he killed Elizabeth Vida years and years ago. [[spoiler: He's also Christopher's twin brother.]]
98	* AxCrazy: Definitely before the start of the series. During the series itself, it's debatable.
99	%%* BigBad: Of ''Shattered Mirror''.
100	%%** [[spoiler: Subverted by the end of ''All Just Glass'']]
101	* ClearMyName: He wasn't actually guilty of a lot of the crimes the Vida line accused him of, [[spoiler: and he was eventually forgiven.]]
102	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
103	* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: From ''All Just Glass'' on.
104	%%* HeelFaceTurn
105	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Some of the time.
106	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: In spite of the fact that he did do good things, the fact stands that Nikolas did indeed kill Elizabeth Vida, as well as a whole lot of others. But he never owns up to this, and everyone seems to forget about it.]]
107	* TheKillerInMe: He goes through it a little.
108	* TheRival: To the Vida line in general. At least, at first.
109	* SupervillainLair: Whether or not the 'supervillain' part really applies or not is [[GrayAndGreyMorality debatable]], but Nikolas has a really nice house.
110	%%* TookALevelInKindness: Rather suddenly.
111	%%* VampiresAreRich
112	!!Nissa
113	Nissa is Christopher [[spoiler: and Nikolas's]] younger sister, and a member of [=SingleEarth=]
114	* DemotedToExtra: In ''All Just Glass''.
115	%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
116	* IAmAMonster: She struggles with it some, although not as much as Christopher.
117	!!Kaleo
118	Kaleo is a vampire and the real BigBad of ''Shattered Mirror''.
119	%%* AscendedDemon: As of ''All Just Glass''.
120	%%* AxCrazy
121	%%* BigBad: Played straight in ''Shattered Mirror'', subverted in ''All Just Glass''.
122	* ClearMyName: Played much the same way that it was with Nikolas, except he actually was guilty of a lot of the crimes he was accused of.
123	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
124	%%* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: From ''All Just Glass'' on.
125	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend: [[spoiler: Until ''All Just Glass]]
126	%%* HeelFaceTurn In ''All Just Glass''.
127	%%* {{Jerkass}}
128	%%* KarmaHoudini: Full-stop.
129	!!Jeshickah
130	Jeshickah is an important vampire in Midnight, and the plot of ''Midnight Predator'' is triggered when Turquoise and Ravyn are sent to kill her.
131	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: She's only a secondary villain to Lord Daryl.
132	%%* AxCrazy
133	* BigBad: Of ''Midnight Predator''.
134	** [[spoiler: Subverted in that she's completely forgotten about by the end of the novel.]]
135	%%* DarkIsEvil
136	%%* {{Expy}}: Of Fala.
137	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend
138	%%* {{Jerkass}}
139	* TheRival: To [[spoiler: Jaguar]], who sent Turquoise and Ravyn to kill her.
140	* VampiresAreRich
141	!!Jaguar
142	Jaguar is the vampire who runs Midnight and its slave trade. Despite this, he's not shown to be a villain, and he helps Turquoise on multiple occasions. [[spoiler: He was also the one that sent her to kill Jeshickah in the first place.]]
143	%%* AffablyEvil: Assuming he's really evil.
144	* AnimalMotifs: As a jaguar.
145	%%* AntiVillain
146	%%* CatsAreMean
147	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
148	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Jaguar is reluctant to beat his slaves or even command them to harshly.
149	** There is some question as to [[WhiteAndGreyMorality whether or not Jaguar counts as evil.]] Yes, he was running Midnight, which is a command center for the slave trade, but he is much less harsh than other slave owners, and he ends up helping Turquoise more than he harms her.
150	* EvilPaysBetter: Presumably the reason Jaguar allows the slave trade in Midnight despite not really liking it.
151	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Guess what Jaguar can transform into?
152	%%* {{Expy}}: Of Aubrey. They're even described similarly.
153	%%* OnlySaneMan: In Midnight.
154	* TheRival: To Jeshickah. He's openly antagonistic to her when they talk about business, and [[spoiler: he sent Turquoise and Ravyn to kill her.]]
155	* VampiresAreRich
156	!!Fala
157	Fala is the main villain of ''Demon in my View'', trying to kill Jessica for writing true stories about the vampire world (despite the fact that Fala was never mentioned in ''In the Forests of the Night''). She originally tries to make Aubrey kill Jessica, then decides to do it herself.
158	%%* ActionGirl
159	%%* AxCrazy
160	* BadassBoast: She does this when threatening to Aubrey that she'll kill Jessica.
161	%%* BigBad: Of ''Demon in my View''.
162	%%* DarkIsEvil
163	%%* FullyEmbracedFiend
164	%%* {{Jerkass}}
165	* KillItWithFire [=/=] PyroManiac: Fala wants to do this to Ash Night (Jessica) so that she would "better fit her name."
166	!!Pandora
167	Pandora was Adjila's mentor in magic. She shows up in ''Persistence of Memory'' to help him sever the link between Shevaun and Erin.
168	* AmbiguouslyEvil: She's characterized a lot like the other villains in the series, but she doesn't actually do anything evil.
169	%%* DarkIsNotEvil: Not that we can see, anyway.
170	%%* {{Expy}}: Of Dominique.
171	* {{Jerkass}}: Like Dominique, she's not really evil, she's just unpleasant.
172	!!Ather
173	Ather is the vampire that turned both Aubrey and Rachel. She provides a good deal of exposition for ''In the Forests of the Night''.
174	* [[MrExposition Miss Exposition]]

189	* [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating What Mommy Hates]]: [[spoiler: She's dating a freaking ''vampire''. Taken further when she gets turned into one.]]
190	* DontTellMama: Don't tell her that [[spoiler: you're in a SecretRelationship with Christopher.]]
191	* EmergencyStash: Sarah, and presumably other Vida witches, are shown to keep weapons ''everywhere''. Everywhere where people won't be suspicious, she has weapons.
192	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: She attempts suicide in ''All Just Glass'' by going to Dominique's house so that they'll kill her.]]
193	* EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler: It happens to her at the end of ''Shattered Mirror''.]]

196	* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: [[spoiler: From ''All Just Glass'' on.]]
197	* GenerationXerox: [[spoiler: Sarah falls in love with a vampire and rebels against her family to keep this romance. Turns out, so did Dominique.]]
198	%%* GoodIsNotSoft
199	* HazyFeelTurn: She certainly changed sides at the end of ''Shattered Mirror'' when she [[spoiler: [[EmergencyTransformation let Nikolas turn her into a vampire]] instead of [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim killing Kristopher]]]], but it's not clear which side was good and which side was evil.
200	* [[IAmNotMyFather I Am Not My Mother]]: In ''All Just Glass''. [[GenerationXerox She thinks so, anyway.]]
201	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Her reasoning for [[spoiler: letting herself get turned into a vampire instead of killing Christopher.]]
202	* ItGetsEasier: Killing vampires started out very hard for Sarah, but until [[spoiler: she met Christopher and Nikolas]], it got easier and easier over time.
203	* TheKillerInMe: A lot of ''Shattered Mirror'' was about her learning how evil it was to kill vampires.
204	* LightIsGood: Until [[spoiler: she gets turned into a vampire.]]
205	* LivingForeverIsAwesome: [[spoiler: The last line of ''Shattered Mirror'' has Sarah happy that she can live forever.]]
206	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She does it in ''All Just Glass''. [[spoiler: Perhaps it wasn't such a great idea to go into Dominique's house begging to be killed.]]
207	* OhCrap: Sarah gets an internal one when she realizes that [[spoiler: Nikolas is Christopher's twin brother.]]

210	* PartTimeHero: Sarah goes to school during the day and [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld fights vampires the rest of the time.]]
211	* PlotTriggeringDeath: [[spoiler: Sarah technically died when she became a vampire, which fueled the plot of ''All Just Glass''. Dominique insists on saying that she's dead, even though she's just a vampire.]]

213	* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler: She still has the scars that Nikolas gave her.]]

226	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: This is her internal justification for killing her husband.]]
227	* {{Jerkass}}: Even if she's not evil, she is a pretty unpleasent person a lot of the time.
228	%%* LightIsNotGood: Well, it sort of is.
229	* MamaDidntRaiseNoCriminal: Dominique's reaction to [[spoiler: Sarah dating Christopher.]] Gets HilariousInHindsight in ''All Just Glass'' when we find out that [[spoiler: [[GenerationXerox Dominique did the exact same thing.]]]]
230	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: It's her default reaction to anything, such as Elizabeth Vida being killed two hundred years ago and [[spoiler: Sarah getting turned into a vampire.]]
231	* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: She calls on the Rites of Kin in order to do this to Sarah. But she doesn't succeed.]]
232	%%* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: [[spoiler: In the past, anyway.]]

254	%%* TykeBomb
255	%%* VampireHunter
256	!!Caryn
257	Caryn Smoke is a member of the smoke line, meaning she's a healer with pacifist vows. She first appeared in ''Demon in my View'', and she's appeared several times since.
258	%%* BadassPacifist
259	* BlessedWithSuck: Her pacifist vows have made her a BadassPacifist.
260	* BystanderSyndrome: To be fair, she is a TechnicalPacifist, and she does try to step in any way she can.
261	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Along with the rest of [=SingleEarth=]
262	%%* GoodIsNotDumb
263	%%* HealingHands
264	* HeroicSacrifice: She attempts it in ''Demon in my View'', but Aubrey decides not to kill her.
265	* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite being part of [=SingleEarth=], an organization working to stop witches and vampires from hunting each other, she still gives medical support to the witches who hunt vampires.
266	** Take into consideration that Caryn once said that if Dominique wanted to she could order the girl to go into a house full of vampires alone and with no weapons and she'd have to follow the order. Now remember how Dominique treated her own daughter for being dissident. Caryn might not really have a choice in the matter.
267	%%* LightIsGood
268	%%* NiceGirl
269	* RecurringCharacter: Caryn has never had a book focusing on her, but she made an appearance in ''Demon in my View'', ''Shattered Mirror'', and ''All Just Glass'' - more times than any other character in the series. (The only exception is Dominique, and she ''has'' had a book focusing on her.)

288	%%* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
289	* AntiMagic: Aubrey can't penetrate her mind because [[spoiler: she's more Siete's child than anything else.]]

291	* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: She manages to fend of Fala and almost kill her... but it almost costs Jessica her own life.]]
292	* ChekhovsGunman: She got a brief mention in ''In the Forests of the Night''.
293	* CurseThatCures: [[spoiler: Jessica's becoming a vampire allowed Caryn and Aubrey to more effectively heal her.]]
294	* DamselOutOfDistress: Aubrey sees her as someone who needs to be rescued. [[spoiler: That doesn't stop her from [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu holding her own against Fala.]]]]
295	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
296	* DeathByGenreSavviness: [[spoiler: Jessica gets turned into a vampire (a form of dying) due to her being so GenreSavvy that she released books accurately chronicling the lives of vampires without their permission.]]

298	%%* DefrostingIceQueen
299	%%* DisneyDeath: She gets one at the end of ''Demon in my View''.
300	* EmergencyTransformation: [[spoiler: She's turned into a vampire so that Caryn and Aubrey could heal her more effectively.]]
301	%%* EmoTeen: In a way.
302	* EnfanteTerrible: [[spoiler: While not what Jessica's mother thought, going unborn for two decades in a vampiric womb made Jessica more Siete's child than the child of either of her parents. Her mother gave her up because she couldn't take the reminder of that portion of her life.]]
303	* FullyEmbracedFiend: [[spoiler: When she gets turned into a vampire.]]
304	* GenreSavvy: She's one of the best examples there is; after having written multiple novels set in the vampire world, she knows more about it than some actual vampires.
305	* GiveHimANormalLife: [[spoiler: This is half of what prompts her mother to give her up, the other half being that she reminds her mother of Siete too much.]]
306	* GhostMemory: [[spoiler: She gets them from Siete; this is how she tells her stories.]]
307	* GoodIsBoring: Jessica's favorite character in "Tiger, Tiger" (''In the Forests of the Night'') is Aubrey, the villain.
308	%%* GoodIsNotSoft
309	%%* HeroicNeutral
310	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Although it's pretty subconscious and [[spoiler: she already was sort of special.]]
