Line #133 Characters/EdeValley


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder:Scooby Gang]]
4	The main cast of the series. Occasionally come together to kick butt and solve mysteries, hence the name.
5	!Cindy Miller
6	The [[EnsembleCast de-facto]] main protagonist of the series. Was an ordinary straight-A student [[spoiler: After making a demonic deal with Cowell after accidentally killing her science teacher, she lost her "perspective" and was given an ancient grimoire to use magic. Now she's a witch]]
7
8	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Before her character development, Cindy was this.
9
10	* CharacterDevelopment: Forced upon her after supposedly having her [[spoiler:perspective taken by Cowell.]] She suddenly sees the pettiness of her life choices and re-evaluates her priorities after this.
11
12	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Has one with Cowell, her powers for her perspective.]]
13
14	* ThePerfectionist: Before her CharacterDevelopment, Cindy was the epitome of this. Obsessed with stellar grades and getting into the best college.
15
16	!Mike Miller
17	(See St. Adelaide's)
18
19	!Tommy Miller
20	Cindy and Mike's older brother. Ran away from home at age eight to join Remus in his dimension-hopping gypsy wagon, only to return thirteen years later just in time to help Cindy and crew [[spoiler:save Mike.]]
21
22	* BadassNormal: Much like Niko, the other member of the Scooby Gang who has no magical powers to speak of, though he's often called upon as the diplomat of the group.
23
24	* HoYay: Occasionally with Cowell, who has at times flirted with him.
25
26	* InadequateInheritor: Tommy thinks of himself as this, especially after [[spoiler:Remus dies and Mathilda dumps him back in Ede Valley with no intention of leaving.]]
27
28	!Lucius Marcell
29	A two-thousand-year-old vampire who happens to be Cindy's History teacher. They hit it off rather well.
30
31	* FunctionalAddict: Though he needs to drink blood to survive, Marcell works as a history teacher and even maintains a relationship with [[spoiler:a mortal woman.]]
32
33	!Niko Borozov
34	Heir to the Borozov Russian Mob family, Niko is forced into hiding after he does something which is never directly stated. After [[spoiler:an attempt is made on his life,]] he and his bodyguard Lila decide to lay low in Ede Valley.
35
36	* BadassNormal: The only powers Niko has at his disposal are his connections and his brain. And also a katana-wielding bodyguard. But placed against witches, vampires, daemons, and superhumans, Niko is severely under-powered.
37
38	* GrassIsGreener: He elects to stay in Ede Valley and start his own operation instead of returning to the city, and the Borozovs.
39
40	!Lila Finn
41	Niko's bodyguard, a teenage girl who wields a katana and is obsessed with protecting her "young master," though she does genuinely care for him deeply.
42
43	* ActionGirl: Though most of the ladies in Ede Valley could count as this, Lila stands out as the most action-oriented of all. In a world where guns and magic are both things that exist, all she needs is her katana.
44
45	* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: Lila is initially all business, until she meets Cindy and the rest of the Scooby Gang and begins to soften.
46
47	!Cowell
48	A mysterious daemon who owns the British Pub "The Smiling Goat." He always seems to know what's going to happen next, and no one knows why.
49
50	* AuthorAppeal: Literally designed as Hedgehog's "Ideal Man." Enough said.
51
52	* DealWithTheDevil: Sort of Cowell's whole schtick. He's made several deals throughout the series, including given a reporter information in exchange for her loyalty in his introduction, and [[spoiler:giving Cindy a book of spells in exchange for her perspective.]]
53
54	* FourthWallObserver: All of the characters in Ede Valley have some sort of genre savvy, but Cowell often outright makes references to the plot or narrative, pushing things in the story along as needed.
55
56	!Aurum
57	A dragon who runs a library. Also a shut-in who can never leave it.
58
59	* CollectorOfTheStrange: The East Branch is really a dragon's hoard that specifies in collecting ancient and dangerous artifacts and knowledge.
60
61	* {{Foil}}: To Abigail Hodge. Both are slightly off kilter librarians, except that one is a largely benevolent figure who gains knowledge through study, and the other is [[spoiler:A dangerous psychopath obsessed with gaining knowledge through experimentation.]]
62
63	!Servus
64	Aurum's automaton sidekick who [[spoiler:seems to slowly be developing a personality.]]
65
66	* ElectiveMute: Though fully capable of speech, Servus doesn't talk until [[spoiler:Muirne returns.]]
67
68	* MeaningfulName: Servus literally translates to "slave" in Latin. Aurum has an... interesting sense of humor, to say the least.
69
70	(Also see Atlantis)
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:St. Adelaide's]]
74	!Mike Miller [[spoiler:(or Nihil)]]

82
83	* DumbassTeenageSon: Acts rather ditzy and clueless most of the time.
84
85	* StockShonenHero: Averted. Mike begins the series as your average teenager with a big heart who cares for his friends. Until of course [[spoiler: Abigail uses him in her experiments and turns him into a nearly emotionless super human]]
86
87	* WalkingSpoiler: I mean, just look at the amount of spoilers under his character.
88
89	!Doug Bailey
90	Mike's new roommate, a strange young man with a lot of secrets.
91
92	* AMFMCharacterization: The first time we see Doug, he's humming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryy-QK2A8hM "The Scene and Herd"]] by Relient K.
93
94	* AuthorAppeal: Hedgehog has stressed at several points her attraction to Doug Bailey, and how elements from certain real life people may have snuck into his personality.
95
96	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: All of the students to an extent, but especially Doug, who is so worn down that he doesn't even make up his mind to do something until it's far too late.
97
98	* DescentIntoAddiction: In "Nothing to See Here..." after [[spoiler:his sister's death,]] Doug grows dependent first on weed and then on cocaine as his mind deteriorates. He gets better. Sort of.
99
100	* DiseaseBleach: Doug's hair turns white after [[spoiler:two years of torture at the hands of Abigail and the one day that she took it too far. He saw his dead sister and nearly died.]]
101
102	* MemeticMutation: As soon as Doug first glided in on Heelys, there was no end to the jokes revolving around them, with the most common phrase being something about having Heelys for his feelies.
103
104	* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Subverted. The more crap that Doug is put through, the more broken and crazy he becomes.
105
106	!Jilli Nakajima
107	A former pop idol (who's [[CatchPhrase only on hiatus]]), Jilli has now become a resident of St. Adelaide's after [[spoiler:a near mental breakdown on stage.]]

111	* [[spoiler:BreakTheCutie]]: [[spoiler:First from her time as an idol and subsequent breakdown, and then again when she's forced to relive all that trauma by Abigail.]]
112
113	* CatchPhrase: If you mention her idol career, she'll inevitably reply that she's "only on hiatus."
114
115	* ControlFreak: Evolves into this after [[spoiler:being broken by Abigail.]]
116
117	* [[spoiler:CruelAndUnusualDeath]]: [[spoiler: Gets her heart ripped out of her chest by a former friend after her best friend told him to.]]
118
119	!Abigail Hodge
120	The student librarian at St. Adelaide's. She's a little weird, even by the school's standards, so most keep their distance. [[spoiler:Actually The Director, the crazed principle of the school obsessed with slaking her curiosity by whatever means necessary.]]
121
122	* AdmiringTheAbomination: Abigail is fascinated by many things that gross or freak most people out, including monstrosities from the stars.
123
124	* [[spoiler:BitchInSheepsClothing]: [[spoiler:Pretends to be nice, if slightly off-kilter, to everyone, especially Jilli, who even considers her a friend, even though she's actually a psychopath with no feelings for any of them.]]
125
126	* FlawExploitation: Multiple times with many of her classmates, but the primary example is [[spoiler:relying on Mike's desire to help his friends to capture him.]]
127

136

141
142	* MeaningfulName: According to WordOfGod, Victor is not only named after Victor Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} but also [[Literature/HerbertWestReanimator Herbert West]]. I wonder what his "Project" is?
143
144	* ThirdActMisunderstanding: Averted. [[spoiler: When Abigail tells him her true identity, instead of hating or rejecting her, he affirms his feelings, and later outright states that he is also using her for his own gain.]]
