The Last Dragon Chronicles - Main Characters

Main Characters

David Rain main character. - A college student who lives with the Pennykettles. He is an author whose stories magically manage to come true and he gets his inspiration from his writing dragon, Gadzooks (see: Pennykettle dragons). In Fire Star, he made Gollygosh, a natural healing dragon. Another one of his dragons is G'reth, a wishing dragon made by Lucy Pennykettle. David turns out to be a "Fain", although in the start, he doesn't know that himself. He has the ability to transform into a polar bear, and has "illuminated" with the adolescent dragon, Grockle, who is Liz's completely dragon child, who his fiance, Zanna, quickened earlier on in the series. He has a daughter by Zanna, who is named Alexa. Also David becomes dragon when he extends his fain into Grockle.

Elizabeth/Liz Pennykettle - A woman probably in her thirties who makes dragons out of clay and sells them at pottery fairs. She made all of the Pennykettle dragons except Golly and G'reth. According to Gwillana, she happens to have more auma then most other daughters of Guinevere, actually because she has icefire. She is the mother of Lucy Pennykettle, wife of the blinded ex-monk Arthur, and former landlady of David Rain. According to David, the Fain (the alien species) meant for Liz and Arthur to be his biological parents, but when Gwillanna interrupted this plan, David materialized at age 20 at the "necessary" time. Liz is pregnant with a boy at the end of "Dark Fire" by her husband, Arthur. Gwillanna originally says that the child will not have "dragon" in him, but after the boy manages to refrain from being affected by the dark fire Liz absorbed, her interest regarding the boy piques.

Lucy Pennykettle - Liz's eleven-year-old daughter . She is the youngest of Guinevere's (see: other characters) known line and the next "dragon princess". At the beginning of Icefire, she made an extremely effective wishing dragon called G'reth, which is surprising for a girl of her age, as proper wishing dragons are extremely hard to make. When David returns, she is 16. In "The Fire Eternal" she communicates several times with a journalist by the name of Tam, who she admits to being in love with in her journal in "Dark Fire." She is the one to awaken the Dragon Queen Gawaine, the mother of Gawain. She likes Tam and idolizes David.

Gwilanna / Aunty Gwyneth - Lucy's "aunt". She is a very powerful sibyl who was once served by Gretel, the potions dragon. She kidnaps Lucy to help her raise Gawain, the dragon, from his state of paralysis so that she could be "illuminated" with it (become one with it) like she believed her mother, one of the pre:men, should have been able to do before the fain executed her. She is frozen in a block of ice in the shape of a crow, and her powers are stripped from her. Her powers are restored later on. She has been the midwife of all of Guinevere's line, as only a sibyl can do so. Liz Pennykettle has a great amount of respect for her, despite the fact that on numerous occasions the "aunt" has almost killed her, kidnapped her daughter, trapped her tenant under some floorboards, as well as a myriad of other feats of similar creed. This may be because Gwilanna birthed her daughter, and has also saved Liz's life on numerous accounts.

Sophie Prentice'- Davids first girlfriend who dies in Dark Fire. Also tried to help them when Conker died.

Suzanna/Zanna Martindale - A character that first appears in Icefire and becomes David's girlfriend. She is a college student like David as well as, in the beginning, a Goth. When Gretel stops serving Gwilanna she becomes Zanna's dragon. Zanna is a sibyl like Gwilanna but she is not as powerful. She is at times very zany and amusing. She is also the mother of David's child, Alexa. She bears the mark of Oomara on her forearm, which grants her many abilities, one of which being the ability to transform into a raven. She lived with the Pennykettle's for five years, but then was given a house by the deceased Henry Bacon (who conveniently resided next door), and both her and her daughter relocated there.

Alexa Martindale - David and Zanna's daughter. It is later revealed that she is to become an 'angel'. She can also draw the future. Because her father is a Fain, and her mother a sibyl, she has quite a lot of power and is extremely intelligent. It is of Arthur's belief, that before her birth into the human world, she acted as a muse to describe to Arthur who she wanted her father to be. When Arthur wrote about the man who was originally destined to be his son, the past "changed" creating David so that Alexa could be born.

Dr. Bergstrom - A geography teacher at Scrubbley College. He is Scandinavian, can turn into a polar bear, and has a dragon called Groyne who can become invisible and shape-shift. He started out as a polar research scientist and met the spirit of Thoran, the first polar bear ever, and people believed he was killed, but he actually became a mixture of man and polar bear.

Henry Bacon- The Pennykettle's neighbor that dies in Dark Fire. In Icefire he shows David the picture of his grandfather on an expedition to the Arctic. It shows his grandfather with several other people, one of whom David identifies as Dr. Bergstrom. Before his death he often helps the Pennykettle's and David. His sister is a sybil.

Tam Farrell- A journalist who has the spirits of two bears, Avrel and Kailar, in his hands. He first appears in The Fire Eternal when he tries to get information about David. He later becomes a friend and rescues Lucy from the Ix.
