Latest revision as of 00:35, 8 January 2023


The characters of The Skinjacker Trilogy include:

Main Characters

Nicholas/"Nick"

"What if we're lost here forever?"

The fourteen-year-old hero. He arrives into Everlost with Allie following a car accident. While initially passive and at times insecure, Nick develops into a more determined and strong-willed person. He quickly develops a crush on Mary Hightower.

In Everlost

In Everwild

In Everfound

  • Empty Shell
  • Fake Memories: Milos manipulates Nick into believing that Jill is who he loves and not Mary. This doesn't last for long.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Due to his near dissolving into nothingness and returning as a "Ogre," Nick can barely recall who he was.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: With Mary.
  • Unexplained Recovery: Nick eventually regains his memories and sense of self. He also completely sheds his chocolate coating...including the smudges on his cheeks that were there from the very beginning.


Alexandra "Allie" Johnson

"What if I don't want to forget the living world?"

The-fourteen-year-old heroine. Arrives into Everlost with Nick following a car accident. She is practical and sarcastic. Allie desperately desires to return home and displays hostility towards Mary. Her choices in the story cause a chain of events that lead her to untimely consequences.

In Everlost

In Everwild

In Everfound

  • Humanity Ensues: Allie ultimately choose to return to her own body and reunites with her mother.


Mary Hightower/Megan Mary McGill

"You see emptiness. I see possibility."

Mary is a fifteen-year-old girl who takes in Afterlights and gives them a home in her utopia. She is exceptionally knowledgable when it comes to Everlost and has written many books on it. Mary is slowly drawn to newcomer Nick.

In Everlost

  • Defrosting Ice Queen/Kuudere
  • Meet Cute
  • The Reveal: The McGill is Mary's younger brother Mikey, and she has known about it the entire time. She also lied about the coins that Afterlights brought with them to Everlost being useless--she knew it was the key to Afterlights going into the light and wanted them to stay with her in Everlost instead.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko

In Everwild

  • Dating Catwoman: Despite Nick betraying her in Everlost, Mary still holds strong feelings for Nick. It is hinted in various occasions, such as when she is captured by Pugsy Capone in Chicago and fantasizes about Nick finding and rescuing her.
  • Humanity Ensues: Nick's plan succeeds and Zin crams Mary out of Everlost and into the human world, but Mary convinces Milos to kill her and watch over her body in Everlost during the nine-month hibernation period until she awakens.
  • Not So Different: With Nick and Mikey.

In Everfound


The McGill/Michael "Mikey" Edward McGill

"I am the McGill. Hear my name and tremble."

A monster feared by all of Everlost. It is said that he leaves no survivors.

In Everlost

In Everwild

  • Body Horror: When he turns into the McGill once again. He gets better.
  • Butt Monkey: For some time in the story since he's not as threatening in his fifteen-year-old body than he was as the monsterous McGill, and well, because Loners Are Freaks.
  • Cassandra Truth: When he tells the Afterlights at the diner that he was the McGill, and when Mikey tells Milos, Squirrel, and Moose that Mary Hightower is his sister.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: He does not take too kindly to Milos, a rival for Allie's affections and a fellow skinjacker. What sends him on the tip of the iceberg and makes him become the McGill once more is seeing Milos and Allie kiss.
  • Date Peepers: Mikey spies on Milos's and Allie's "lesson," and everything went downhill after that...
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Sees Milos as a threat and is jealous of the growing closeness between Allie and Milos and how much time they've been spending together.

Mikey had no idea whether or not Milos was a good spirit, or bad, all he knew was that he hated Milos for simply existing.

  • If I Can't Have You: Mikey (reprising his role as the McGill) literally says this to Allie in Everwild, convinced that he can never have Allie because she had chosen Milos over him, and he would rather have Allie take a coin and be returned to the tunnel to the light than to not be able to have her at all.
  • I Will Find You: Twice towards Allie--Once as the McGill (again) to return Allie to the tunnel to the light than to be unable to have her, having been convinced that Allie had chosen Milos over him, and then as Mikey when Allie is captured and taken to the west, leaving Nick and him to find her.
  • Loners Are Freaks
  • Love Hurts
  • Love Makes You Crazy
  • Love Makes You Evil
  • Not So Different: With Mary.
  • Reckless Sidekick

In Everfound

  • Love Redeems: He acknowledges that his love for Allie had "saved" him and restored him to his true self, but at the time, cooled off his furious McGill nature, which serves to be a bit of a problem when the "Ogre" version of Nick and him are attempting to follow Mary's train by going through the earth (as doing so needs willpower and fury).


Introduced in Everlost

Lief/Travis

"It would have been a fun forever. But that's okay. I don't mind. I'm ready."

An initially nameless boy who finds Nick and Allie and introduces them to the world of Everlost. Allie names him "Lief."

Speedo

A finder working under Mary. Owns the Hindenburg.

In Everwild

In Everfound

  • Motor Mouth: Because he's in the engine room with no one to talk to, once someone comes, he or she will be a "captive audience" until the train stops.

"Welcome to Everlost. This here's my territory, and you gots to pay me for passage."

A gang leader that Nick and Allie encounter during their first few days in Everlost.

Clarence

A former firefighter hero turned public nuisance following a fire rescue that burnt the left side of his face and left his eye dead, his ear deaf, and stole his left fingers, Clarence can see Everlost through his left eye and is determined to uncover the "spirits" he sees to prove to everyone that he's not going mad. He turns out to be a "scar wraith," a being that is half in Everlost and half in the human world and has the ability to extinguish an Afterlight by touching one.
