- Aerin
- The "Sol," or the King's closest female heir, she is King Arlbeth's daughter. Aerin is shunned because of her foreign looks and the rumor that her mother was a witch who ensnared her father so she could bear an heir with noble blood. Despite having virtually no friends and being distant from her father, Aerin gradually earns acceptance with her dragon-slaying, skill with horses, and knowledge of how to make the ointment kenet, which makes the wearer fireproof. This character appears in brief, ghostly form in The Blue Sword.
- Luthe
- An immortal sorcerer who teaches Aerin much about her Gift and her family as he heals her from her encounter with the dragon Maur. He dips her in the Lake of Dreams, making her "not-quite-mortal," and falls in love with her. This character also appears in The Blue Sword.
- Maur
- An evil dragon terrorizing Damar.
- Tor
- The "sola", or male heir to the throne, he is Aerin's only friend and loves her dearly.
- Galanna
- Beautiful, small, and vindictive, she and her lover Perlith are Aerin's chief enemies at court.
- Agsded
- An evil wizard who is also Aerin's uncle.
