No major reveals in the main text; those are tucked away in closed panels.

The Main Characters

Chris Godrand: The boy with no surname who one day receives a letter from Déynáir. He tells the story himself.
Ahra Retonk: Chatty, nervous and loyal. He meets Chris at the end of a bathing jetty and explains most things about the new world to him.
Retia Caritas: Brave, proud and the best strategist in her year. She sits alone until Chris sits down with her.
Nihil Mathson: Reserved, precise and proud. He and Chris are more alike than either of them cares to admit.
Alôpex: A white arctic fox who leapt straight into Chris's arms. She speaks to him in his thoughts and looks out for him.

Edrin: The school's headmaster. He looks younger than you would expect, and he reacts strangely to Chris from the very first day.
Guvinor Haltora: The school's strict deputy headmaster, with jet-black eyes and a wolf at his side. His name is signed at the bottom of Chris's letter.
Professor Arcanus: The young teacher with the hood and the gold bracelet who leads the island test. No one knows what he is thinking.
Maka Retonk: Ahra's older brother and a senior student at Déynáir. He knows how the school works, and he comes down with his guitar to the First-Year Room.
Will Mathson: Nihil's open and friendly twin brother. His owl landed on his head and stayed there for twenty minutes.

Surain: The quiet man behind Surain's Animal Shop, who shows the students the way to their Amícûs. He carries an old grief.
Arvia Caritas: Retia's mother. Her house in Tés Aváir is the first real home Chris experiences.
Cajis Caritas: Retia's thirteen-year-old little sister. She is always reading, and she tells it like it is.
Hanne: The cook at Fjordly. She has made Chris's breakfast since he was small, and she never answers what he asks.
