S for Prof. Samsa (a.k.a. Phoropter Guy or Traveller)!
He's a peculiar foreigner from a place far away who likes to smoke pipes that smell of nutmeg. Strange things tend to happen in his immediate vicinity and every time you see him he always has a different suitcase. Currently, he's writing a dissertation on human culture.

A for Alejandro Ahn Féahinne (and his bird)!
He's an aloof and mysterious bounty hunter/magician from what is essentially a fictional version of Spain in the 1800s who specialises in eliminating powerful individuals and supernatural entities, hire him if you want a job done but don't mind collateral damage!
Alejandro was found abandoned outside a church as a baby and was raised at the site's orphanage. It's likely that one of his parents was some sort of spirit since he developed an unnaturally high affinity towards magic, had the power to communicate with animals, and could survive way longer without food or water than any human (discovered that last one after getting trapped in an empty well for almost 2 weeks as a kid). Due to his harsh upbringing, he resented most people and things, decided that he was just going to beat stuff up for a living one day and subsequently became a bounty hunter, and a really good one at that! He took down previously untouchable targets and made a name for himself in mere months.
He obtained his bird companion, Tuie, after ransacking an illegal exotic goods market and now they're basically inseparable, she's scarily intelligent and knows how to pick locks and bites on command.

C for Charlie!
She originated as part of a series of throwaway designs I whipped up from Artbreeder images generated by an old friend (@uwunium on Twitter), nevertheless, she has a special place in my heart.
Charlie's your typical run-of-the-mill rebellious teen; she loves soft drinks, skating, indie music, and being an overall smug menace at school. She also happens to be one of three kids adopted by an exiled demon overlord who, after getting dethroned, was cast away to spend eternity in Detroit, Michigan. The shelves (and red hair) are hereditary and she sees from the gemstones embedded in the drawer handles, she often uses this "ability" to sneak snacks into the cinemas amongst other mundane things. She also owns a bearded dragon named Skullcrusherninethousand who she begged her demon dad to get.
