- Many characters appear in multiple books. I've listed them anywhere they're a point of view character.
- I've used their age in the majority of a book (a few books have time skips).
- If a couple are in the same category in a book, they have one listing. If one of them's in their 20s and the other in their 30s, they're listed individually in the appropriate places.
- The younger character(s) is listed first.
- Books are listed in chronological order within each section.
