House of Stairs/Characters

Abigail
Sweet, pretty and somewhat naive at the start of the novel, but easily swayed by the influences of others. Abigail cares a bit too much about what other people think of her and is very prone to peer pressure. She has very little personality of her own.


 * The Ditz: She's not particularly antagonistic, but hanging around Blossom and Oliver too much begins to colour the way she acts.

Blossom
A chubby girl who had come from a wealthy family before being orphaned shortly before the events of the novel.


 * Alpha Bitch
 * Rich Bitch
 * Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense
 * Spoiled Brat

Lola
A juvenile delinquent with a strong sense of right and wrong.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Rebellious Spirit
 * Troubled but Cute
 * Tsundere

Oliver
Athletic, handsome and self-confident to the point of arrogance. He and Blossom provide the main driving force of the cruel actions called for by the machine.


 * Jerk Jock
 * Toxic Friend Influence: He, more than anyone else, wants the others to come over to the dark side.
 * Urine Trouble: One of the things he does to appease the machine is to stand on an upper landing and take a leak on Lola's head.

Peter
A boy who's described as being somewhat slow and meek. He generally obeys the most authoritative person in his vicinity, which in this situation, should be Oliver.


 * Cowardly Lion
 * The Power of Friendship: Lola gives him a measure of protection against Oliver.
 * Shrinking Violet
