Nora Vanderbilt is a naive, gullible, innocent, very understanding girl that is usually ignored. She's pretty, but when compared to her best friend, barely anything at all. Nora has been friends with Sarah a long time, enduring constant badgering and cheating off tests, and in this story "Swerving off Psycho Path" will Nora realize that Sarah isn't actually that much of a friend. (blonde hair, blue eyes, thin, age seventeen)
Sarah Reynolds is the dark-haired version of Nora, with more flame, spazz, and brains. She's the package - the girl that every guy has dreamed for. She also kisses Nora's 'said' date, Deacon, which leads to Nora meeting Grant and so-forth. Sarah soon gets involved in a serious relationship with Deacon, which comes to say that by mistakes, you can find love. She also apologizes profusely for kissing Deacon, and knows that her friendship with Nora will never be the same. (black hair, blue/green eyes, curvy yet fashionably thin, seventeen years old)
Deacon Beaumont is Nora Vanderbilt's dream guy. He's got pale, golden-brown, luscious creamy locks, and turquoise eyes, which Nora blatantly admits is the best combination. He's only interested in Sarah, which Nora is oblivious too, and agrees to go out on the group date, unaware of the fact that Nora thinks he's her date. He's a little too cocky and self-assured, but later on gets more serious with Sarah. (eighteen years old)
Grant Richardson is the talented basketball player who so gallantly saves Nora when she is distressed. A really sweet guy, who thinks of Nora's shy quirks as endearing, and happens to be very endearing himself. He has thick, black hair and gray eyes, which rival Nora's. He suggests to playing basketball when he feels their conversation has become too awkward, and thinks it should be saved for friends who are closer to her. (twenty years old)
Jared Nelson is the asshole, yet sympathetic figure in the story. He knows exactly what happened with Deacon and Sarah, even before it happened. He restricted Penelope (his-soon-to-be-girlfriend) from telling Nora what would happen, so they would avoid the situation all together. In the story, Nora quotes that she and Jared look like siblings from their closely defined facial features, but have not talked that closely. He also is told to have been persuaded by Sarah, her saying that 'Penelope' would be at the movies, which also suggests his newly-formed feelings for the girl. (seventeen years old)
Penelope Lancaster is the observant one, like Jared. She starts to warn Nora, but is cut off rudely by Jared, who (this is deemed and implied by facial expressions) says not to tell. She is a beautiful, stunning red-head who, to Jared's opinion, is much more better looking that Sarah Reynolds herself. This could also imply the "insides" are more attractive. Penelope is a good friend, though sadly her and Nora do not talk as much as they should, but has proved her trust by being there through the story, by calling Nora's cell phone later on. (seventeen years old)
