Fledglings
Zoey Redbird
Zoey Redbird (formerly Montgomery) is a teenage girl of Cherokee ancestry. She has hazel eyes, long straight black hair, high cheekbones, wide mouth, long, strong nose, and olive-toned skin. In Marked, she becomes a third former (or "freshman") vampyre fledgling at the Tulsa House of Night who is blessed by the Goddess of Night personified, Nyx, with whom she speaks directly in dreams and in person. Whereas fledgling vampyres only bear a sapphire tattoo in the outline of a crescent moon (referred to as the "Mark"), Zoey arrives at the House of Night with her Mark filled in, which normally does not happen until a fledgling's transition to vampyre (the "Change") is complete. And this makes Zoey special because she is the only fledgling ever to have her Mark filled (and later on she gains additional tattoos on her face, neck, back, waist, hands, and chest, which has never happened with vamps). Zoey is the first ever to have an affinity for all five elements: Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit (Having an elemental affinity means she is able to draw strength and energy from the elements themselves). This has been proven noticeably throughout the series, being able to draw on enough energy to keep her emotions and the people around her in check. Throughout her new vampyre fledgling life, she has to deal with more than an average teenager generally does, which frequently makes her wish that she were just another ordinary fledgling or teenager. Through Nyx's blessing, Zoey's gut instincts often guide her in the right direction, and she can often hear Nyx speak to her directly through her mind. Zoey is best friends with her House of Night roommate, Stevie Rae Johnson. She is also chosen by a cat, who reminds her of a lioness, and whom she therefore names Nala after the Lion King character of the same name. Zoey first dreamed of Nala, before seeing the orange cat stuck in a tree and rescuing her.
In Marked, she defeats Aphrodite for leadership of the exclusive school club, the Dark Daughters.
In Betrayed, while she is dating Erik Night officially, she carries out secret relationships with Heath Luck (her human boyfriend from before she was Marked) and Loren Blake (a temporary professor at the House of Night).
Towards the end of Chosen, all of these relationships end: Erik discovers her cheating on him with Loren (Erik's Change also comes to completion, prompting his immediate departure from the House), her Imprint with Heath is broken when Loren takes her virginity and she Imprints on him, and Loren is subsequently murdered, who was,in fact, acting under Neferet's orders to seduce her. Her decision to keep numerous secrets from her friends Damien, Shaunee, Erin and Jack—some at Nyx's direction, some from her own questionable decision-making—causes her friends to turn against her in Untamed.
In Untamed, these friendships are renewed; she also develops feelings towards James Stark, a new student recently transferred from the Chicago House of Night. When Stark rejects the change and "dies" in her arms she realizes she really liked him and questions the reality of "soul mates". Her relationship with Erik Night also resumes when he is installed as Professor Nolan's replacement. In the book, Aphrodite has visions of two possible deaths of Zoey. Zoey experiences one of the visions in the book, but Damien and Shaunee save her from the Raven Mockers' spirits. Toward the end of Untamed, Neferet manages to resurrect the fallen angel Kalona, but amid the chaos Zoey still manages to aid her allies in their escape.
In Hunted, she is haunted in her dreams by Kalona, who claims that Zoey is his lost lover A-ya. Despite no longer feeling safe to be with because of this, she nonetheless convinces the resurrected Stark to ignore his evil side and choose good; he pledges his Warrior's Oath to her as the future High Priestess. Towards the end of the book it is made clearer that she loves him. She resumes her relationship with Erik, but still she has feelings for Stark, and cares about Heath as well, causing Erik to grow very jealous of them. Erik thinks he should be the only one with Zoey, but Zoey remains indecisive. She is the first to suspect that Neferet can spy on her allies in the darkness, but she is shot by a Raven Mocker and forced to return to the House of Night for treatment. With Lenobia's help, she figures out how to banish Kalona, and subsequently performs the ritual to carry out that banishment.
In Tempted, Erik's boastful ego and possessiveness cause Zoey to get so annoyed that she dumps him. Erik then gets extremely angry and calls her a freak and a cheater. Learning that Neferet and Kalona have returned and gone before Nyx's Council in Venice, Zoey goes to challenge them, but is too late to save Heath from being killed by Kalona. As a result, Zoey's soul shatters, leaving her still breathing body behind. She loses all of her tattoos except the outline of the crescent moon all other fledglings have. At the end of Tempted, she is shocked to meet Heath in the 'Otherworld', saying that he doesn't belong there because he's dead. When Heath tells her that she is the one who does not belong, she falls into blackness.
Damien Maslin
Damien is one of the two boys in the group of Zoey's new friends, also a third former. He has brown, deer-like eyes and dark brown hair. He is gay and doesn't conceal it. Because of this he is rejected by his parents. They are in denial, so they buy him "Sports Illustrated" and camping supplies to man him up. He is authentic, with his feminine tendencies towards shopping and extensive vocabulary (which the "Twins" constantly fight with him about). He has an affinity for air, a rare gift for any male vampyre, (Male vampyres usually get affinities like extra strength, or Stark's ability to never miss a target) and is able to call and physically manifest it. Due to his elemental affinity, he is able to draw strength and energy from his element. He is often portrayed as wise beyond his years, knowing things that a normal third former fledgling would not. He is also extremely sensitive, caring, and protective of his friends. He is in a relationship with vampyre fledgling Jack Twist, who arrived at the House of Night in BETRAYED. He escapes the House of Night along with his friends at the end of UNTAMED. Damien was also chosen by a cat, a "blond chubby tabby cat" named Cameron.
Shaunee Cole
Shaunee Cole is a fourth former at the House of Night. She is described as being curvy with high cheekbones, thick hair that falls in dark waves around her shoulders and dark eyes. She has a very close connection with Erin Bates. So close, everyone refers to them as being the Twins because of their similar thoughts and actions, while they have very different appearances: Shaunee is of Jamaican descent with "lovely mocha colored" skin and lived in Connecticut before entering the Tulsa House of Night, while Erin is an "extremely white girl" from Tulsa. Shaunee is very faithful to her friends, but also a bit boy-crazy and a self-confessed shopaholic. She has an affinity for fire, and is able to call and physically manifest it. Due to her elemental affinity, she is able to draw strength and energy from her element. She escaped the House of Night at the end of UNTAMED, along with Zoey, Damien, Jack, Erin, Stevie Rae, Aphrodite, Erik, Darius, and the red fledglings. In HUNTED she gains a very strong dislike for Stark when she hears he's on Kalona's side, and in the scene where he bites one of the fledglings in broad daylight- or night-light, as vampyres sleep during the day, and are up at night. When Zoey tells her and her twin Erin about liking Stark, she wonders why she would ever like a person like him.
Erin Bates
Erin is a fourth former at the House of Night, known as a "Twin" alongside her best friend, Shaunee. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Shaunee and Erin have a good taste in fashion and love to tease Damien about his love life (or lack thereof) and the fact that he knows too many words that they can't understand. She is very wise, a trait noted by Zoey during her first ritual as the new leader of the Dark Daughters and Sons. Erin has an affinity for water, and is able to call and physically manifest it. Due to her elemental affinity, she is able to draw strength and energy from her element. She can also be described as being a bit boy crazy, like Shaunee. Erin is also chosen by a cat, Beelzebub, that she shares along with Shaunee. Although her closest friend is Shaunee, she is good friends with Zoey, Stevie Rae, Jack, and Damien. At the end of 'Untamed, she leaves the House of Night with the other students who have managed to escape from Queen Tsi Sgili (Neferet) Kalona and the Raven Mockers. Like Shaunee in HUNTED she manages to gain hatred towards Stark.
Jack Twist
A newcomer to the House of Night in BETRAYED. He is also gay and is dating Damien Maslin. Jack also takes care of James Stark's dog, Duchess, after Stark's death. Jack named himself after the character Jack Twist from Brokeback Mountain.He escaped the House of Night at the end of UNTAMED, along with Zoey, Damien, Shaunee, Erin, Stevie Rae, Aphrodite, Erik, Darius, and the red fledglings. He is one of the two guys in the group. In TEMPTED, Zoey states that Jack has an affinity for "the magic of the modern world- technology." He is very emotional.
Red Fledglings
Kramisha
The only red fledling who is African-American, she was gifted with an affinity of prophecies in the form of poems. She quickly has a bond with the Twins. She is nominated the group's Poet Laureate because her poems seem to tell important things about Kalona.
Anthony
Called "Ant" by the rest of the group because of his size. He finds a possible entrance into the tunnels in Hunted.
Johnny B.
The muscular one of the group. He is very vain and takes an interest in the Twins and Zoey.
Venus
Venus was originally Aphrodite LaFont's best friend and roommate before her body rejected the Change. Unknown to the other fledglings, she came back to become one of Neferet's minions. As a result, Aphrodite chose her name to be Aphrodite in honor of Venus. Neferet gave Aphrodite a suspicious drink when Venus 'died' (the same drink she gives Zoey when Stevie Rae 'dies'), and her mind became foggy and begins to forget Venus, then she throws the rest of the drink down the sink. In Hunted, she reveals to the group that Stevie Rae and Aphrodite have Imprinted. Zoey described her to have the type of blonde hair that looked gold and beautiful and this starts a rivalry between her and Zoey. Venus has a personality similar to the one Aphrodite had first shown in Marked. Venus also shows interest into Erik, thus causing the rivalry between Zoey and her to deepen.
Dallas
After Stevie Rae dies, she starts liking him and the start having a "thing" for each other
