Allyson Martin

Our main character; a normal girl with two big contradictory personality traits: cynical (she usually perceives life in a very negative, jaded way), yet romantic (a daydreamer that fantasies about what the future may bring). She's a really smart and studious girl who however is mostly under big stress most of the time, in part because of the kind of friends she have, in part because of her own neurotic way of seeing life.

  • Bratty Teenage Daughter: While she's considered the most mature character out of the main three, she can be very bratty on her worst.
  • Catchphrase: "The point IS..." whenever she tries to explain something and she's interrupted.
  • Character Development: While still a neurotic mess, she learns to be a little more assertive and self-confident.
  • Distressed Damsel: Discuted and a big root of her insecurities: She sees Jake as strong and badass and Sarah as a cool trickster that can get away with anything while she consider herself a lot worse in both aspects, making her the one who would need rescue every once in a while.
  • Feminine Women Can Cook: Of all things, Allyson's turned out to be quite a more than decent cooker. And it's actually the one of the only thing she does better than her sister. She's somewhat embarrased by that, though, since she seems to think it clashes with her feminist ideals.
  • Neutral Good: She gets involved in the things she does mostly because of her two friends; she, by herself, is mostly a good gal.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: She is actually a good looking young lady, however she's just too lazy most of the time to really put too much attention to her looks.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She likes rock and indie music over pop or other "softer" genres, and usually complains when she has to wear "girly clothing" (skirts, dresses, etc...), but it turns out she's a big Disney fangirl, decent in cooking (at least it's implied by her friends) and she has a very romantic side.

Jake Zabrocki

A young criminal. He met Allyson when both attended to kindergarden. Problematic and proud, Jake's the kind of person never wastes any opportunity to obtain some personal gain.

  • Book Dumb: Outside Fight Club, he never really express any interest in reading material academic nor recreative.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: Jake's actually not that bad of a student, but would be better if he actually put an effort.

Sarah Greenberg

A really cute but completely bonkers gothic girl; she met Allyson and Jake when they were all 10. She's well-known for her joyful persona and unpredictible course of actions.

  • Ambiguously Brown: She's half Ashkenazi Jewish, half she-doesn't-really-know, but the bets are on Hispanic, Middle Eastern or First Nation.
  • The Ditz: She's far from being dumb, but a common criticism is that she often seems more "dumb" than "crazy".
  • The Fashionista: Not in a conventional way of course; mostly because of the "interesting" Sarah's sense of style.
  • Stepford Smiler: While her constant smiling is seen as a natural trait of her personality, sometimes is left ambigous if she is really that bubbly and sparkly or if it's just a way to deal with her own unhappiness

Will Hoggard

Sarah's partner from Art class; he displays a lot of interest on the very particular aesthetic vision of her body of work... and to some degree, her body itself. Quiet and gentle, and a big fan of Roy Orbison, vintage clothing and poetry, it's one of the few individuals that show apreciation for Sarah's spirit and way to face life.
