Maggie
The Outcast.
She is different than most kids of her age, but just like everyone has questions and seeks for her own persona. She sees the world differently and finds an answer for everything that happens around her in the old-fashioned spiritual way. But... she is lonely and became anxious after all her friends left her down and went on the other side. Has an idea about love, friendship and devotion and seeks perfection from the other people around her... although they always fail. Her appearance seems strange to everyone given her dressing and acting style and often pays for "not following the crowd".

Her dream is to become a famous actress.

Shade
The Inner-self
. Maggie's Alter-ego, projection, guardian angel, the man within. Shade is born from Maggie's shadow and that's how he got his name. His own shadow only has the shape of angel wings - the symbol of purity. He manages to control one's life and will using the power of dreams, travelling into his person's mind and soul. He takes Maggie to a real place where a real event happens, leaving her the impression she was really there and saw everything. Shade is able to use all the psychic weapons easily and incorporates all the good qualities and positive thoughts. Once he left for a moment, Maggie almost broke down.

His wish is to help Maggie find the ray of light and hope.

Alice
The Converted Friend. Alice is the person Maggie used to trust most. She is shy and naive, but open and sensitive. Knows too little about boys and feelings and makes alot of mistakes. The biggest one is betraying her best friend by playing Lisa's game. Ends up by heavily regretting it. She is just another one of Maggie's friends, helping the story repeat itself. Unlike others, she realised the truth and got back to her real friend, but it was too late.

Her dream is to be a painter or fashion designer.

Lisa
School Nightmare
. One of the bold, popular girls from school. With her charm, looks and always fashionable, Lisa is envied by most of the girls. Comes from a wealthy family and this adds to her influence over others. Even teachers. Lisa is a real snake. Doesn't like Maggie at all and is determined to make her life a living hell. Her ultimate move is tricking Alice to come by her side and use her to hurt Maggie's feelings. She lures the naive Alice using her own conceptions, convincing her that staying with any boy is the coolest thing ever.

Her dream is to become a super-model and marry a rich man.

Ivette
The sidekick.
Ivette is often found in Lisa's shadow - literally. Not as pretty, rich and bold and a bland personality. She always goes for LIsa's ideas, feeding her ego and following her trends even if they don't always suit her. Taken alone, she's not as tough as she is when around Lisa.

Her dream is simple: marry and raise children like every average woman.
