Jazz
Jazz is the protagonist of the story. Jazz is born a boy, but she is feminine in all aspects except her physical body. Jazz remembers the challenges she had to go through while growing up because her parents insisted that she put on boy clothes, and that thing irritated her. Jazz's parents are not doing anything wrong by reminding Jazz he is a boy because they do not understand the biology behind Jazz's feelings.
Jazz says everyone thinks she is a girl, but she hates their perception. While in school, she goes to the boys' washrooms and feels bad about it because she belongs to the other gender. Jazz realized that people did not know more about her transgender status as she grew up. Later, Jazz becomes aware of her body, and she makes it public that she is transgender. Jazz's parents learn about transgender people and support her in spreading awareness in society.
Jazz’s parents
Jazz's parents are wondering why their child is behaving abnormally. According to the parents, Jazz is a boy, but she behaves like a girl in everything she does. Jazz feels sad and disappointed when her parents ask her to wear boyish clothes. Later, when Jazz's parents visit a doctor, they learn their child is transgender. Therefore, they change their perception and start supporting Jazz to accept her reality.
The doctor
The doctor is a critical character in the book, even though the author does not focus much on her. When Jazz's parents visit the doctor, she introduces the new term "transgender" and explains what it means. Jazz's parents now become aware of their daughter's sexuality and join hands in supporting her to accept her reality.
Samantha and Casey
Samantha and Casey are Jazz's friends at school and are among the very few students who do not discriminate against her. While other students bully and mock Jazz that she is a boy, Samantha and Casey comfort her and encourage her to be confident and pursue whatever she thinks fits her. Later, Jazz's identity is revealed, and Samantha and Casey welcome her to the girls' school volleyball team.
