Gail is actually the antagonist for this story. She's impatient, sarcastic, and has a violent streak. She can also be rather cruel when she has to be. She has trust issues, so Anna has been her only close friend for years. She does tend to become a bit of a fumbling moron around girls she likes, however, and can be easily distracted by the prospect of some hot ass.
A freak accident during a "sacred ritual" gives her surprising strength, not to mention a strange little schitzo power that can never seem to decide what it's going to be. She could use her powers for good, become a superhero, and help Amber in the fight for justice and peace...
But what's the fun in that?
Besides, she really really can't stand Amber.
One of the very few people whom Gail trusts. She's also one of the only people who isn't intimidated by Gail, but that could be because she can be quite the bitch herself (only, she takes that as a compliment).
She's usually fairly laid-back, taking most things in stride with a dry sense of humor, but when she gets riled up, she usually can make a person regret they ever met her. She doesn't really have any empathy for people she doesn't know, so random strangers that get caught in the crossfire of Gail's exploits don't really bother her. All of this makes her a perfect right-hand gal.
She has a record with the police, so she doesn't always directly participate in Gail's capers, preferring to help from the sidelines to avoid capture.
Will can be kind of a hopeless dork, but he's cute like a little brother, and his heart's in the right place. He's eager to please, but non-confrontational by nature. He tends to rely on others a lot, but he can also be loyal as a golden retriever once you've won him over. He's "totally uncool", but he is Amber's cousin, and she won't allow anyone to mess with him. That's her job.
In high school Amber was pretty high up on the food chain: popular, pretty, and from a well-to-do family. She tended to treat people like crap if she didn't think they were anything important. She still retains the spoiled girl attitude, but she seems to have grown up at least a little bit. She used to talk about Gail behind her back, but recently tends to be a bit more upfront about how much she despises the other girl. She sees most things in terms of purely black and white. It's going to take her a little while to put others' needs before her own in order to be the hero Max expects her to be.
Despite her flaws, she's basically a good person. She can be a dangerous enemy to Gail.
Hillary has been best friends with Amber since middle school. Once she saw how guys fawned all over Amber, she started dressing a bit more daringly, dyed her hair, and became quite the flirt. She's a loyal friend and tends to bring Amber down to earth when the other girl flies off the handle or goes into spoiled brat mode.
Max is the bodyguard appointed to watch over Amber by the mysterious cloaked men who gave her her powers in the first place. She'll need all the help she can get while she's adjusting to her new-found strength. Until she's more than capable of looking after herself, Max is there to watch her back and be her guide. He's a stoic young man who doesn't talk much, and what he thinks about anybody-- even Amber --is a mystery. And anyway, why was HE chosen to watch over her? He seems like a normal enough guy...
Tabitha is the kind of girl who doesn't really get too much attention. She's pretty, if a little sensitive about her weight, but also shy and a bit of a clutz. Her luck also tends to be pretty bad, as Gail discovers the day they meet. She attracts trouble like the plague, making her a bit skittish at times. But despite her usually timid attitude, she turns into a flurrying ball of indignant fury when pushed too far. Not very intimidating, but Gail seems to think it's "cute".
Gail tends to put her on a pedestal, but Tabitha is only human, and can make mistakes just like anyone else. A rocky past with family and relationships makes her clumsy when it comes to affairs of the heart.
Sean is a friend Gail made back in Robbins; they were actually in a gang together. They also have a bit more personal history, though neither of them let it affect their friendship. He's older than the others because he flunked a few classes in high school. He's pretty rough around the edges, having grown up practically on the streets. He's tough, strong, and can be pretty damn brutal. Not really the kind of guy you want to run into in a dark alley. He's Anna's older brother by adoption, and for all his trash talk and teasing, is almost violently protective of her, as she is of him. He extends this protective shield over Gail, as well, though he doesn't seem to give a damn about anybody else in their group. If it comes down to his skin or yours, you'd better have remembered to write your will.
Rebecca is the cool-headed one on Amber's side. She can come across as harsh and aloof, but that's because she has no patience for stupidity, and doesn't like to waste time. She's intelligent, thinks on her feet, and is able to shout sense into just about anyone. If Hillary's calm demeanor fails at getting Amber to do what she has to, Rebecca is usually able to bully her into doing thinking for herself.
Her real passion is fashion design; for now she works at a clothing botique, but she's more than willing to use her skills for other purposes, such as making her own clothes... or a certain reluctant heroine's costume.
Jasper was part of the old Robbins gang, but only off-and-on, when he felt bored enough to roll with the others. A certified psychopath, he can't be trusted, and is very much his own man. He's a loose cannon who does what he wants when he wants, and very calmly at that. He holds no respect or affection for the rest of the group, and is highly untrusting of strangers, which puts Tabitha directly into his line of fire. Gail's strength can only keep him in check for so long...
Hammond's nephew, and the gang's negotiator. As he mostly plays the role of a bureacrat, he isn't exactly the most dangerous of Hammond's men. He is often seen accompanying the Coyote, presumably at Hammond's express orders. Whether his job is to keep her in check or there is some other reason behind this is a topic of some debate among the other gang members.
The Coyote is Hammond's newest baddest bodyguard. Because of her habit of leaving exactly zero eye witnesses (think total bloody carnage), her identity is widely unknown, even to some members of Hammond's own gang. Many people assume the Coyote is a man.
In some ways she comes across as even more insane than Jasper, though this could be something she is deliberately projecting to unnerve people even more. She seems to enjoy what she does, though she does have her own set of skewed morals. She's usually an oddly cheerful woman, even going so far as to be friendly with those she might have to kill. Her reasons for choosing to work for Hammond are unknown.
Mr. Hammond is the head of what basically amounts to the city's mafia, though it's small enough to be called a gang. He likes to think of himself as a gentleman, but underneath the expensive suits and businesslike demeanor, he's just a thug. He clawed his way to his current seat of power by backstabbing, murdering, and stealing, and he won't give up his position or his territory without a fight. He seems to be hell-bent on claiming the entire city for his own, destroying anyone in his path, using the Coyote as his battering ram. If he comes to see Gail and her team as a threat, things could get nasty.
Darius holds two dangerous positions in the underworld: leader of the Westside Brutes, and Anna's boyfriend. Most people tend to get a skewed first impression of him. He can be happy ("goofy", as Gail calls it) one second, and absolutely ruthless the next. While Anna assures her overprotective brother and Gail that she is one of the very few people he would never intentionally hurt, he sets off alarm bells regardless. He never graduated high school, but he has plenty of street smarts after years in the gang. If Gail hopes to work with him, she's going to have to pull some fast tricks out of the hat while trying to convince him she's trustworthy at the same time.
Tony is Darius's cousin, deaf since birth. Since Anna is the only other person in the gang besides Darius who bothered to learn extensive sign language, the two have gotten fairly close. Maybe too close, if their sidelong glances are anything to go off of. He is almost impossible for Gail to read properly, especially since he's pretty much perfected the poker face. No one can say what's really going on in his head.
In a lot of ways, Ben is the person most out of place in Gail's circle of original friends. He's a bit of a coward, and not really interested in killing or wounding anyone. He is also at times the most difficult to get along with. He's next to useless when it comes to most physical tasks, he goes after most women with the mindset and raging hormones of a fifteen year old boy, and he tends to act like a jackass most of the time. It doesn't help that he's constantly throwing internet and computer jargon around, much of which no one else in the group understands. His skill with computers is invaluable, however. He's no expert hacker, but he can break down the security of enough systems to be of use to Gail. He has very little empathy for other people, too. He blames this on too many years spent lurking at 4chan. Sean just thinks he's an asshole.
