🌵   Here's the complete list of the characters making an appearence in the book  "Shadowfawn - la ragazza ipnotica", in alphabetical order! Pay attention, because some of the names could be, or become in the future, clickable and lead you to the discovery of extra informations on these fellas ;)  Be mindful of spoilers!  🌵

• Adrian Jacobs
One of the students attending the special course for young superhero wannabes. He has secured a place among the other students thanks to his extraordinary power: Adrian is a pyrokinetic that ranks grade A on the destructive scale, the highest ever documented. After a certain event that happened in his past, he always covers his face with a fox mask and tends to avoid anything that has to do with fire, including the use of his own powers. His size and emotional instability don’t make him look that reassuring, even if he’s a very kind person… and a nerd.


• Albert Cicalone
A short, squared little man that works for the Ermes Insurances agency. He’s sly, and he sweats a lot.


• Alina Vogt
A young ex-prison inmate who entered Quantico’s course for young superhero wannabes after Hawk Storm’s legal reforms. She has some hearing problems. Her power is to produce dinitrogen oxide in her breath, and she generally uses it for evil purposes.


• Anika Morris
Student of the special course for young superhero wannabes, she works in team with her cousin Anita, with whom she shares the same power: the two can keep in telepathic contact even at great distances. She has a sunny disposition and she’s a little impertinent, but she’s fully committed to what she does, achieving excellent results in both theoretical and practical studies.


• Anita Morris
Student of the special course for young superhero wannabes, she works in team with her cousin Anika, with whom she shares the same power: the two can keep in telepathic contact even at great distances. She’s got her head in the clouds, and is a chatterbox who never misses an opportunity to try to make friends. She’s a bit of a loser.

• Anya Philippus
Anya is a professional superhero, known as half of the Pale Horses duo along with her brother Valder. The name of the two is linked to that of their colleague and mentor Hawk Storm, due to their frequent collaborations on the field and the true bond of affection that unites them in private life. In addition to her work as a super, Anya is also a very popular figure on social media and in the hip-hop music landscape, as a singer, rapper and guitarist.
The Pale Horses are able to change appearance, taking on the features of other people or imaginary creatures, but they need to be close to each other for their power to be activated, and it can only work within certain limits, under normal conditions. They are known for their propensity to transform themselves into monstrous creatures, sometimes rideable (their being called “Pale Horses” also comes from this) and because they post funny videos on Momentgram.

• Ariana Pavor
The young Ariana is one of the residents of the White Dragon psychiatric hospital. She’s fourteen years old, and stuck in a wheelchair, because she’s immobilized from the waist down. Despite her harmless appearance, her power is so destabilizing for the other patients of the institute that, for their safety, Dr. Cosmos has decided to separate her from everyone else and lock her up in the structure’s dungeon. The only person who really manages to keep her in line inside the White Dragon is The Mad Teo, as he’s immune to her power.


 

• Bringo (The cat)
A white cat who doesn't care much for superhero stories. Sometimes he becomes invisible.


• Carmela Douglas
She’s the mother of the rebellious Maris, with whom she has an extremely conflicted relationship; Carmela is a quite superficial woman, and a glutton for gossip. Her power is to understand the true state of mind of the people around her, and she uses it to mind other people's business.

• Cherry Gale
Cherry is the protagonist of the book and a lover of hunting with strong opinions. Her power, that is more unique than rare, is to hypnotize other humans and control their will. The family environment in which she grew up and the presence of this power concurred to shape her character into that of a misanthropist who uses her ability to command others without remorse. She is pragmatic, physically strong and shrewd. Unfortunately, she’s also a curmudgeon.

 

• Cintia Cintia
Columnist for the popular teen magazine "Teen Life", she regularly interviews super villains and Korean pop stars. Everyone tells her the same jokes along the lines of: "Mrs. Cintia! It’s fine if I call you Cintia, right?". But that won't stop her.


• Gabrielle Bedstone
Consort of Sam Bedstone, Gabrielle is a reserved and composed but authoritative woman, whose important work often keeps her away from home. She can't cook to save her life but she does it every now and then anyway, perhaps out of sadism.


• Gara Gale
Gara J. Gale is a professional huntress as well as Cherry Gale's mother.
She’s a very strong person, both physically and temperamentally, and she makes most of the decisions for the family. She is wary of strangers and considers very few people worthy of respect; her bad temper may lead her to react violently when she feels upset. She has a certain reputation due to her skill in her job, which combines perfectly with the power with which she was born: that of immobilizing animals for a few seconds, if she can get them to look her in the eyes.

• Hawk Storm
Talented, chaotic, cheerful and surrounded by an interesting aura of mystery, Hawk Storm is a pretty renowned pop star, whose fame has also been fueled by the acclaim received by his TV show “Supersongs on TV”; no less important is his superhero career, which he leads under the name of Death Rider and on which he’s much more reserved. Hawk is also a model, voice actor and composer, as well as supervisor of Quantico's special course for young superhero wannabes.
His name is linked to that of the Pale Horses, Anya and Valder Philippus, from which he seems inseparable both in private and working life. Since the three’s presence is required almost only in cases where there have been confirmed victims, fans gifted them the nickname of "Death Trio".

• Maris Douglas
Maris is a classmate of Cherry Gale, whom she considers to be her best friend.
She’s a young, outspoken and rebellious woman, with no respect for authority figures, whether they are parents or police forces; getting in tune with the punk subculture was a natural step for her. Despite the obstacle of an attention disorder, curiosity and love for studying have led her to develop a lively intelligence and a wide range of knowledge. She isn’t a big fan of good manners.


 

• Mark Ross
A young ex-convict who joined Quantico's special course for young superhero wannabes after Hawk Storm’s reforms. He’s a pyrokinetic, but not a very strong one.


• Mauritius Amaurobius
Professor of the course for young super wannabes. He’s a lively man who likes to establish a playful and human relationship with his pupils, but he’s perhaps less correct than he may appear.


• Nanuk Denahi
A young ex-convict who joined Quantico's special course for young superhero wannabes after Hawk Storm’s reforms. His power is to turn pain into electrical discharges, the strength of which will be proportional to the pain he feels. He almost killed people like that, but it must be admitted that he can say "they started it!" he’s right.


• Nora Coleman
Old writer who retired to the White Dragon Hospital to face her battle with depression. She’s a rather kind person, who hardly gets upset at others. The devoted nurse Morgan, with whom she has established a strong friendship, takes care of her.


• Olster Wolf
An ex-prisoner in a juvenile prison, he had access to the special course for young superhero wannabes after the reforms wanted by Hawk Storm. He sincerely wants to take advantage of the opportunity given to him to redeem himself and learn how to become a super. His power is an extraordinary transformation ability, which allows him to turn into a seal. He’s very good at juggling numbers and catching stolen fish and jewels on the fly.


• Prince
Cherry's best friend and brother in spirit, Prince was orphaned at a very young age before being adopted by the Gale family. He is a mix of vivacity and laziness, who loves raw meat, playing ball and tearing pillows with his teeth; he would do anything for Cherry, including fighting at the cost of his life. Oh, and he's a puma.


• John Murray
Nurse working at the White Dragon Hospital. The director places great trust in him as he’s a very patient man, so it’s usually him who interacts with the most agitated patients including, mainly, The Mad Teo.


• Raven Morrighan
A young ex-convict who joined Quantico's special course for young superhero wannabes after Hawk Storm’s reforms. Her blood contains a powerful hallucinogen, something that she used to her advantage to rob a jewelry store; the heist ended in the “accidental” death of two police officers. She has tattoos all over her face and acts threateningly, just in case she doesn’t appear bad enough.

 

• Rosie Cosmos
She is the director of the White Dragon psychiatric institute. Although she thinks that Bloodhound has a "puppy face", she’s a lawful, loyal person who has an extremely severe judgment against criminals, so much so that she’s responsible for the intervention and capture on the field against one of the most feared and popular criminals of history (and acting as a civilian, too). Her power has very little to do with her profession, but Rosie is still a very skilled and respected psychiatrist in the academic world.

• Ryan McCallister
One of Cherry Gale's classmates, he finds joy in entertaining others and making them happy, also because of (or perhaps precisely by virtue of) the fact that he’s always fighting to hide his own sadness. Ryan’s power grants him an unexpected influence over our protagonist Cherry, but his emotional frailties make him vulnerable to events that will change his life and could, coincidentally, have to do with the two most famous super villains of the century.


 

• Samantha Navidad
An ex-inmate who entered Quantico's super young wannabe course after the reforms wanted by mister Storm. She has a strengthening power that allows her muscles to become more robust and responsive on command for about an hour. You probably don't care about it, but she's allergic to raw apples when she's around birch trees. Yes, some people do.

• Sam Bedstone
Samuel “Sam” Bedstone is a federal agent in charge of the Behavioral Science Unit. After being embroiled in a scandal over letting Bloodhound and Werhunter be chosen as collaborators to investigate alongside the police – being still unaware of their criminal intent, of course - he’s looking to form a task force that can stop the two by bringing together extraordinary talents... like that of hypnotizing people, for one. His power comes to his aid in this, being that of knowing instinctively and precisely what the power of the people he has close to him is.
He thinks he's very, very smart.

 

• Sheldon LaPoer
Better known as Bloodhound, he is the sidekick of the notorious supervillain Werhunter. He worked as a special agent for the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit before switching sides and becoming a super villain; he has an insidious, complex, power of mind-reading that makes him a skilled manipulator and assistant feared by both law enforcement and other criminals. In addition to being a super villain, he’s also a serial dog adopter and manager of the singer Ryan. 

 

 

• Sloan Bikerson

A criminal condemned to the Substition because of his several violent crimes. He has heterochrome eyes, since his irises have different brown tones: Sloan's right eye is almost red. His special ability is that to amplify the powers of others, and when he's using it both of his eyes take on a blood red color. He's pale, but robust and with a bad temper.

 • Teo (The Mad)
A guest of the White Dragon psychiatric hospital, eccentric and self-proclaimed madman, he’s both a patient and part of the facility's staff. He has a certain creative aptitude for problem solving and is very outgoing, characteristics that allow him, together with his power, to be able to interact safely with all the other guests of the institute to help them settle in and support them. He’s also the only effective barrier between Ariana Pavor and the others.


• Thomas Franz
A young ex-con who entered Quantico's special course for young superhero wannabes after the reforms made by Hawk Storm. He’s a small guy, but his power makes his ligaments much more elastic than a normal person's, allowing him to jump and move like a video game character.


• Tom Gale
Househusband and potato grower, Tom is the loving father of Cherry Gale (and the puma Prince, whom he found himself adopting without knowing how) and husband of Gara Gale. He has an extremely mild and sweet character, which goes well with his power to reassure those around him.

• Valder Philippus
Super hero by profession, he is known as half of the “Pale Horses” duo together with his sister Anya. His is a power of transformation that works only in the presence of the other half of the duo.
He lost his right eye in an attack caused by a criminal. Due to frequent collaborations on the field and their close relationship (he and Anya live practically in his house), his name is strongly associated with that of the singer and superhero Hawk Storm. He’s also a rapper, guitarist and a well-known personality on social media that, sometimes, also appears on the small screen along with the other members of the Death Trio.

• Vera Morrison
Salty elementary school teacher. After a certain episode that occurred following the summoning of two parents to school, she’s rightly afraid of having to deal with any and all members of the Gale family.

 

• Victor Lupis
Psychiatrist, brilliant inventor, enterpreneur, evil genius and chatterbox, Dr. Lupis is known primarily as Werhunter, the greatest super villain of the century! Or Brainstorm. Or The Human Robot. He can't make up his mind.
His power is still unknown to most people, including himself, but this has not prevented him from building an empire that influences the most varied social and economic fields of the US landscape, legal and otherwise.

 

• Virgilio Raghi
Mysterious young man visiting from Esteban Island.
