Major Characters
- Tess: The principal protagonist of the series. Tess is a Switcher, and is fourteen at the time of this book.
- Kevin: Formerly a Switcher, Kevin has passed his fifteenth birthday by the time of this book, and therefore no longer possesses the ability to change his shape. At the end of Switchers, Kevin chose to take on the form of a phoenix for the rest of his life. He spends most of Midnight's Choice in this form, but reverts to being human at the end of the story.
- Martin: The book’s principal antagonist. Martin is a handsome, red-haired boy, and is only a few days away from his fifteenth birthday at the time of Midnight's Choice. After the death of his father, Martin began to transform himself into a vampire so as to avoid dealing with the pain of this loss.
- Elizabeth "Lizzie" Larten: An elderly former Switcher. In this book, she warns Tess that something evil (i.e. Martin's vampire self) has entered the city.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or characters:
“As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
