Our wary teenager protagonist, who found herself lost in another world walking into a parking garage. While initially taken under the benevolent care of Pamfilos and his courier son Aleco, she was later transferred to the more questionably motivated house of Eswic's family.

Unfortunately, Amity is also overconfident in her abilities, and has fallen in way over her head trying to make her way back home.
Trosce Nenov
An erratic otherworlder who was living with Eswic's family at the time of Amity's arrival. He is scarred by trauma from his handlers, allegedly earned through his violent past behavior.

He abandoned her after she breached her shaky promise of escaping their captives together.

Kittalin Sarino
Star of Alodia, the Noble Widow, Kittalin is an ambitious and respected consul of the city-state Alodia, as well as the founder of the popular political party, the Alodia Guard.

Leoma Sarino
The bubbly yet slightly precocious daughter of Kittalin. She does not enjoy the company of her cousins and would much rather spend time with her ever-busy mother.

Being Kittalin’s eldest brother, he is her main confidant and favored ally in political scheming.

He is blamed for encouraging Kittalin into politics without realizing how influential she would become, though remains protective of her.
