Characters

Princess Eden Eden is the eldest daughter of Oberon and Titania. She is a tall, thin woman with hair the color of snow and brilliant blue eyes. She is introduced as a depressed sorceress wanting nothing to do with her family as she witnessed her mother's "death" when really her mother entered the Oriole Glass and never returned. She apologizes to her father and becomes a happier woman once her mother returns. She shares her fathers gift of wielding the power of the Mystic Arts and is the fourth strongest person in the realm of Faerie (after her father, mother, and husband). She is married to the elderly Lord Valentyne. In the first book, when Tania encounters Eden for the first time, it is not a friendly meeting, but as the series goes on, Eden is portrayed as akind and thoughtful sister.

Hopie Princess Hopie is the least talked about sister in the book. She is the second daughter of Oberon and Titania. She has vast knowledge of herbs and healing others. Her room is a dark forest. Her hair is dark brown, as is her favorite color. She is married to Lord Brython. The manga spin-off (which takes approximately one year later) shows that she and Lord Brython now have a young son. She mentions that she is sad he will never be able to meet one of his aunts (Zara).

Sancha Sancha is the most studious daughter of the King and Queen of Faerie. Her room is covered with endless words for books. She has brown hair and her favorite color is black. She can move any object with her mind without touching it and can read the text of other soul books and mortal books, but not computers. She escaped Faerie along with Cordelia and Zara and entered the Mortal Realm in the second book and was able to find her mother by reading it off a file in a cabinet at the Pleades Law Firm. She is not married.

Cordelia Cordelia, affectionately called Cordie by her sisters, is the middle child of the King and Queen of Faerie. She can talk to any animal and sometimes lets them perch themselves on her, like she did with a red squirrel. Her hair is a red-gold color and her room is a forest filled with her favorite animals. In the second book, she entered the Mortal Realm to escaped the Knights of Lyonesse with Sancha and Zara. She is married to Bryn Lightfoot. In the fourth book, she falls gravely ill to a disease shortly after her wedding.

Zara Zara was a carefree princess and very curious of the mortal world. She was a blonde with blue eyes, as was her favorite color, and could weave enchantment into her music. She escaped Faerie and entered the Mortal World once, along with Sancha and Cordelia from the Knights of Lyonesse. She was murdered by Gabriel Drake in the third book, sacrificing her life for Tania's. In the sixth book, Zara comes back to life for a while and she is revealed to be the Dream Weaver that Tania talks to on her quest to speak with the Divine Harper. She never married.

Rathina Rathina is introduced as a raven haired beauty with hazel eyes. She is Tania's favorite sister and dared Tania to step into the mortal realm. During Tania's absence, she fell in love with Gabriel Drake, only for him to betray her later on. She then betrayed her family by releasing the Knights and King of Lyonesse. In the third book, she repented. Out of love for her family and fury for Gabriel's murder of her sister, she grabbed a sword of Isenmort and stabbed him. She then learned that her gift was being able to touch Isenmort without getting hurt or burned. She joined Tania and Conner Estabrook, a friend of Tania's from the mortal world, in the quest to find the Divine Harper. In book 6 Rathina and a man named Titus are implied to have begun a relationship. She is unmarried.

Tania Tania is the main character of the story. On the eve of her 16th birthday and wedding, she accidentally stepped into the Mortal World and could not find a way back. Her mother went after her but also could not get back. Tania died, but her spirit passed onto many girls and was reborn again and again. Sadly, none of the girls never lived to the age of 16. Finally, Anita Palmer was born and reached her 16th birthday, allowing her to become Tania, a faerie princess and 7th daughter of Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of Faerie. When she turned 16, a mysterious gift was sent to her - an old book containing the tale of Princess Tania. Gabriel Drake met her and brought her into the land of Faerie, where Anita constantly reprimanded herself she was in a dream, until she finally accepted that she was Princess Tania. Gabriel Drake's plan to marry Tania was fooled by Evan Thomas (Edric Chanticleer), Tania's boyfriend from the Mortal World who was sent by Drake to retrieve the princess. In the fourth book, Edric proposes to Tania, but she declines, saying she is too young. In the 6th book, she asks Edric to propose again, and she finally accepts.

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.

    Unresolved dissonances between the characters and dispositions of the parents continue to reverberate in the nature of the child and make up the history of its inner sufferings.
