Abigail

Sweet, pretty and somewhat naive at the start of the novel, but easily swayed by the influences of others. Abigail cares a bit too much about what other people think of her and is very prone to peer pressure. She has very little personality of her own.

• The Ditz: She's not particularly antagonistic, but hanging around Blossom and Oliver too much begins to colour the way she acts.
• Jumping Off the Slippery Slope
• Peer Pressure Makes You Evil

Blossom

A chubby girl who had come from a wealthy family before being orphaned shortly before the events of the novel.

• Alpha Bitch
• Rich Bitch
• Rich in Dollars Poor In Sense
• Spoiled Brat

Lola

A juvenile delinquent with a strong sense of right and wrong.

• Plucky Girl
• Rebellious Spirit
• Troubled but Cute
• Tsundere

Oliver

Athletic, handsome and self-confident to the point of arrogance. He and Blossom provide the main driving force of the cruel actions called for by the machine.

• Jerk Jock
• Toxic Friend Influence: He, more than anyone else, wants the others to come over to the dark side.
• Urine Trouble: One of the things he does to appease the machine is to stand on an upper landing and take a leak on Lola's head.

Peter

A boy who's described as being somewhat slow and meek. He generally obeys the most authoritative person in his vicinity, which in this situation, should be Oliver.

• Cowardly Lion
• The Power of Friendship: Lola gives him a measure of protection against Oliver.
• Shrinking Violet
