Tritanus Caspian - Tritanus is Melody's father. He is protective of his youngest and only daughter, Melody. He believes merpeople and humans should not have contact with one another, but has grown to like David Dawson after hearing that he'd rescued Melody from a fishing net.

David Dawson - The son of Captain Dawson. David has short brown hair with bright green eyes and a medium sized frame.

Michael Johnson - Michael is David's best friend and good friend of Melody. He doesn't know her secret at first but discovers her fishiness during a field trip.

Mione Andrews does her best to keep Melody's fishiness a secret, and she has her own secret as well. Mione is Tritanus' long lost sister who was separated from the royal family during a raid. She never found her way home and so lived on land with Killian Andrews, later falling in love and marrying him.
