Grove Hill Elementary School students
Jordie Flanders
Nicknamed the "Human Computer", Jordie is the smartest kid in school. She is most known for her sarcastic wit and her tendency to speak in Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness.
- Deadpan Snarker: She brilliantly combines this with Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness:Jordie said in a carrying voice, "The necessity of the continued existence of the majority of people eludes me at this moment."
- Insufferable Genius: She knows she's the smartest kid in school, and while she doesn't necessarily flaunt her grades her snarkiness can rub certain people the wrong way.
Christopher Hampton
The class' financial whiz, often regarded as The Scrooge.
- The Grinch: He had a disdain for Christmas, believing it to be overcommercialized. He changed his opinion after his experience in The Fright Before Christmas.
- Misery Builds Character: His experience with the ghosts in The Fright Before Christmas was definitely for the better, as he became less of a jerk and learned to enjoy Christmas.
Polly Hannah
The school's resident Alpha Bitch.
- Butt-Monkey: While most of the kids avoid the levels of Butt-Monkey found in Goosebumps, Polly is a more typical version due to what a spoiled and haughty brat she is.
- Everyone Has Standards: Not even she likes Mrs. Beak, or at the very least, couldn't believe she just said she did. Likewise, even Polly is willing to give a decent gift unprovoked when she gives Stacey shoelaces with bulldog designs on them as a reminder of how much Stacey loves her dog Morris.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: She still hangs out with the other kids even though she doesn't like them and they don't like her.
- Generation Xerox: Kids who've met her mother regard her as an older, frillier, and meaner version of Polly.
- Lack of Empathy: She has got no time or energy to consider the feelings of anyone around her.
- Psycho Pink: While not evil, she is a legitimately obnoxious and nasty young girl who almost always dresses in shades of pink.
- Straw Character: Usually if an opinion is meant to be presented as wrong, she's the one used to express it. In The Fright Before Christmas, Polly parrots her mother's complaints about A Christmas Carol such as how Charles Dickens' isn't even an American writer, to which Mr. Melon retorts by saying Dickens' abilities as an author transcend nationalities. Which basically translates to him telling her to shut her mouth.
- Teacher's Pet: She has no interest in learning, just sucking up. Although for as much as Polly wants the approval of the school's authority figures some, like Mr. Melon and Ms. Cheevy, don't like her as well.
Grove Hill personnel
Dr. Morthouse
- Ambiguously Human: It is strongly implied that she's not just an ordinary human (a human with supernatural powers at best and something not entirely human at worst).
- The Dreaded: The sheer mention of her can cause the younger students to burst into tears.
Others
Morton
- Boy Meets Ghoul: There are some hints that Park was romantically interested in her, such as the fact that they remained in touch for many years after their first meeting, and he chose to become an archeologist when he grew up.
- Dead All Along: You would never tell that by looking at her, but she actually died many millenia ago.
- Deadpan Snarker: And how!Morton grabbed Park's sleeve."Hey! If you lived back then, what would your name be?""What?" said Park."Jurassic Park! Get it. Jurassic Park." Morton pointed at Park.
- Non-Malicious Monster: She actually saved Park from being stalked by her sinister brother.
- Seductive Mummy: Downplayed. She's not outright seductive, but Park clearly took an interest in her, and there are some hints that this interest may be romantic (such as him choosing to become an archeologist as an adult).
