Dorothy Reed is a shy, stubborn 7-year-old with dark hair and blue eyes. She idolizes her foster-sibling Dakota as well as her bio-sister Hazel from whom she was separated when she entered the foster system due to their large age gap and Hazel aging out of the system quickly.

She enters the sublime dressed as a pepper shaker for Halloween and wears a hand-me-down blue coat and red shoes that she picked out herself. She is pleased with her life at the Abott’s home and wants desperately to return to the only place she’s felt safe.

Dakota Wallace is a fiery, hardheaded 15-year-old with short black hair and green eyes. He grew up with a single father who lived a hard and fast life with Dakota being there for the worst of it. As he got older he learned that if he wanted his place in life he had to fight for everything.

Dakota was thrown into the foster care system, after a tragic incident with his father, where he began to feel like an outcast. He enters the sublime dressed as Ferris Bueller for Halloween. He is afraid of returning home to the Abbotts and that he will always cause destruction wherever he goes.

Walter is a clever, snarky guy of questionable age, currently in the body of a small brown weasel. He entered the Sublime after running away from home, feeling like an outcast and a loner. He's forgotten how long he's been here exactly, but the Sublime has taken its toll on his body and mind as he fell victim to the Stranger's curse.

He is determined to return Dakota and Dorothy home, hopefully sparing them his fate, and maybe cause a little mischief as they go. Walter has no love for the Sublime and would see it in shambles if he had his way. His biggest fears include being a bad person, staying a weasel forever, and owls.
