The Bewitching Novel Characters
The characters as imagined from The Bewitching novel series. The symbols above their heads represents a large part of their personality although I’ll leave it to the reader to discover just what they mean.
-
Elyssa of The Bewitching characters. The innocent one, drawn in to the world of witches, angels, and demons and torn between love and a past forgotten. She struggles to understand a world hidden from human eyes and the powers she didn't realize she possessed. Will her premonitions become a reality or consume her before she unlocks the secrets of her past...
-
Annette of The Bewitching characters. The optimist, and somewhat childlike and unorganized at times in how she acts. Her jubilant actions are countered by serious moments when she speaks with wisdom far beyond her years, like her mom Alicia. It's difficult to tell if her dingy moments are merely an act, although her heart always appears to be in the right place.
-
Dantes of The Bewitching characters. The tortured soul. Half-demon and half-angel, torn between his love for Elyssa and a mysterious past with her that he refuses to share. His conflicting feelings about her has led him from an angel of good to morphing into a half-demon and immortality. Torn between light and dark, only time will tell when he loses his soul...
-
Tobias of The Bewitching characters. The protector, and a familiar like creature to Annette and her mom who also takes a strong liking to Elyssa. Magical in nature, transforming himself to a half-wolf half-lion type creature in times of need. His bravery and loyalty is matched only by his undying love to those he feels the need to keep safe. His tiny stature hides his true strength.
-
The Demon from The Bewitching characters. The evil one and a full blooded demon. Not much is known of his origins although his wealth and power is evident due to his lavish lifestyle. He commands by creating fear and the failure of his followers to succeed in his bidding is likely to result in a death sentence. His current desire is an end to Elyssa and Dantes for mysterious reasons.
-
Alicia of The Bewitching characters. The wise one and Annette's mom. No matter the situation, Alicia always seems calm and collected in her thoughts, and willing to impart words of wisdom. She has a deep trust of the world around her, only sharing when needed and allowing life to follow its course with the belief that things will always work out as they should.
I do have a few characters missing I’d like to add in the future. I’m also trying to use pictures from real people I know that fit as close as possible to how I imagine the characters looking. Obviously there’s a copyright reason behind that, although…what can I say. I like to try to be somewhat original. It also seems fitting as at least a few of the people pictured were inspirations for the characters within the book.
If you’re curious as to how the designs and colors play into the characters, feel free to check out the Hidden Bits in the Character Design article.
A Special thanks to Madison Rockwell, Anne and Alice Pickard, and Les Belbot for allowing me to use their pictures in my design which so closely resembled my idea of the character’s looks. Also a special mention to Toby, pictured as Tobias, who sadly passed away recently. Our best wishes and prayers are with him upon the Rainbow Bridge.
