== April Ryan ==
[[File:aprilryan 4439.jpg|frame|Rebel. Emissary. Chosen.]]
The main character of the original game, April was an [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary College Student]] living in Stark when she found herself thrust in an adventure in which she was destined to save both her world and Arcadia, the world of magic, from the machinations of Jacob McAllen and his followers, the Vanguard, using her powers as a Shifter, which allowed her to travel between the worlds. Her journey came to an unexpected end and ten years later, during the events of ''Dreamfall'', she has become a jaded and bitter woman fighting a guerrilla war against the occupying Azadi Empire in Arcadia.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
*** And, just for the record: the encounter when she says that results in her being named "the Wave" in addition to the messianic titles she gain before...
**** '''A''' Wave, technically. It means she'll end up being very important to the future of Arcadia.

== Cortez a.k.a. Mannie Chavez a.k.a. {{spoiler|the Red Kin}} ==
A mysterious old man that tended to hang outside April's boarding house, Cortez at first seemed akin to a crazy hobo. But as the story unfolds Cortez is shown to be much more than that and winds up being April's mentor in her quest to restore the Balance.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: {{spoiler|What with being a dragon in human form}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Obi-Wan]]}}▼

Line 54 ⟶ 52:

== Zack Lee ==
April's rude neighbor that lives across from her in the Border House.
* [[Jerkass]]: His introduction scene already has him being extremely obnoxious, then his second appearance is him essentially blackmailing April into going on a date with him. Finally, he gets extremely vindictive when April either does not show up for their date and makes "look stupid in front of his friends", or knees him in the groin during their date for groping her.
== Brian Westhouse ==
Like April, Brian is a denizen of Stark that has journeyed to Arcadia, but unlike April he is not a Shifter so he can't return home. In the original game he lived in his seaside home in Marcuria where he languished his days away with drink. After aiding April on her quest, Brian decided to turn his life around and leave Marcuria to explore the rest of Arcadia.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: His role in ''Dreamfall'' would seem to indicate that he's much more important than it initially seemed.
