3	!! Main Characters
4
5	[[folder:Rose Weasley]]
6	Daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Unexpectedly sorted into Ravenclaw despite her Gryffindor-family pride, she struggles with friendships and enmities that seem far away from the rest of her family's experience of Hogwarts.
7	* AcademicAlphaBitch: Has shades of this.
8	* AcademicAthlete: Unlike her mother, Rose is an enthusiastic Quidditch player as well as a top student.
9	* AllWitchesHaveCats: Has a half-kneazle cat named Charlie.
10	* [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Blond, Brunette, Redhead]]: The Redhead to Scorpius's Blond and Lyra's Brunette.
11	* FieryRedhead: She's got a serious temper.
12	* FeudingFamilies: A mild version with the Malfoys.
13	* InsufferableGenius
14	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's selfish and arrogant at times, but ultimately tries to do the right thing by others.
15	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With her cousin Albus at the start of the fic.
16	* MagicWand: Hers is walnut and dragon heartstring.
17	** This is the same combination as Bellatrix Lestrange's wand.
18	* MessyHair: Untameable red frizz, to be precise.
19	* NerdsLoveToughSchoolwork
20	* PassionateSportsGirl
21	* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Scorpius's blue.
22	* SoapBoxSadie: Rose is very much onboard with her mum's causes. Of course, she's twelve at most, so her understanding of most issues comes across as soap-boxing .
23	[[/folder]]
24
25	[[folder:Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]]
26	Son of Draco Malfoy and Astoria Malfoy, née Greengrass. Ravenclaw student, potions whiz, and ill-regarded son of a former Death Eater.
27	* AbsurdPhobia: He's a wizard who's scared of flying.
28	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a sweet kid, but don't pick on his friends.
29	* [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Blond, Brunette, Redhead]]: The Blond to Rose's Redhead and Lyra's Brunette.
30	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Scorpius, partially due to his mother Astoria being deeply interested in Magizoology, is very fond and protective of magical creatures. [[spoiler:His soft spot for ordinary animals shows up when he rescues a rabbit from an Acromantula web, which proves to be a very bad idea.]]
31	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Lyra.
32	* MeaningfulName: Named after a constellation, like his father and great-aunts; a common version of the mythological origin of the Scorpius constellation is one where Artemis sent a scorpion to protect the world's animals from the hunter Orion — fitting for a FriendToAllLivingThings. Hyperion was a Titan in Greek Mythology who was associated with wisdom and light, matching well with Scorpius being sorted into Ravenclaw and being the Malfoy family's WhiteSheep. He considers it an EmbarrassingMiddleName, though.
33	* OnlyThePureOfHeart: Scorpius's wand wood (apple) is noted on Pottermore as being highly resistant to using the Dark Arts. Ollivander mentions this in a way which Scorpius interprets as him being unworthy of the wand, but can be read as praise that such a wand would choose him to wield it.
34	* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Rose's Red.
35	* StrongFamilyResemblance: As in canon, looks just like his dad.
36	* WhiteSheep: The first Malfoy in generations to be sorted outside of Slytherin, and has no attraction whatsoever to Dark magic.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder:Lyra Jones]]
40	A Muggleborn girl sorted into Ravenclaw who befriends Scorpius. Her parents run a bookstore.
41	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's quick to draw her wand in defence of Scorpius and gives Rose a ''blistering'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that she caps off by telling Rose "And you're ''not a hero!"'', shaking the family-oriented redhead badly as this could count as an unintentional labeling of Rose as the Weasley BlackSheep.
42	* [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Blond, Brunette, Redhead]]: The Brunette to Rose's Redhead and Scorpius's Blond.
43	* IneptMage: Her spellcasting can get unintentionally violent, if it works at all.
44	* TheKlutz: If there’s a spell she can’t mess up, they haven’t invented it yet, and she has a tendency to knock things over — especially explosive things.
45	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Scorpius.
46	* MeaningfulName: Her mother wanted her to be musical. It didn't work out. On a meta level, 'Lyra' is a name frequently used in fanfiction for [[OriginalCharacter female Malfoy relatives]], particularly when Scorpius is given a sister.
47	* NaiveNewcomer
48	* TheWoobie: Her IneptMage tendencies and struggles with schoolwork do nothing to endear her to her housemates and until Rose has a HeelRealization, has [[OnlyFriend only Scorpius caring about her]]. The bullying she suffers is never PlayedForLaughs and progressively gets more and more viscous, escalating from [[SarcasmMode mere verbal]] into someone deliberately jinxing her so she can't get into the Ravenclaw dorms by herself and a WhatDidIDoLastNight moment that horrifies even people who don't like her.

60
61	[[folder:Eleanor Bones]]
62	A Slytherin student and daughter of Susan Bones. Gets ADayInTheLimelight in the side-fic ''Off To Hogwarts, Dear?'', where it is mentioned that her father was a Dark Wizard.
63	* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: The day Susan discovered she was pregnant was the day her husband, who turned out to be a Dark Wizard, was killed in a duel with an Auror.
64	* EvilWeapon: Eleanor sees the yew wand that chooses her as thus, yew being the wand wood of both Voldemort and [[TurnOutLikeHisFather her father]]. Ollivander insists that while wands are pseudo-sentient, they have no particular morality and if Eleanor becomes a Dark Witch, it will be her own choices that lead her there.
65	* ASinisterClue: Lampshaded.
66	[[/folder]]

83	[[folder:Orpheus Lloyd]]
84	A Slytherin student who is friends with Eleanor and Millie. Appears as a background character in ''Returning'' and a main character in ''Off To Hogwarts, Dear?''.
85	* CompellingVoice: When he sings, as a result of his siren ancestry. His misuse of it results in his Muggle schoolmates having to be Obliviated.
86	* FantasticRacism: Having mixed wizard and mermaid ancestry leads to him being regarded with suspicion by the Obliviators.

135	* CoolBigSis: She's always kind and patient with Millie, even though usually she's rather antisocial.
