"Hi, um, I'm Allie. Allie Cartwright. Well, Allie Marie Cartwright, if you want the middle name too. I guess I'm supposed to talk about myself, but there's not really much to say.
I'm 16 and a junior in high school and completely, absolutely, utterly normal. At least, I was until Nathan and the rest of them came around, but that's another story. I live in Bridgeview, Texas with my mom and older brother. They're pretty cool, but I can't say the same about good 'ole Bridgeview. 'The friendliest country town this side of the Brazos River!' Yeah, right. We're probably the only town this far west.
People say I'm pretty quiet, shy... that is, if they even know who I am. But I'm okay with that. I'd rather spend more time birdwatching than hanging out with most of the kids at my school.
I didn't want to be a part of this mess in the beginning. Sure, I wanted a little adventure in my life, but there was something almost... comforting about doing the same things day in and day out.
But now? Now, there's no going back."

Nathaniel "Nathan" Thomas Cheshire
"The name's Nathaniel Cheshire. Friends call me Nathan. So that means you call me Nathaniel.
Here's all you need to know about me: I'm 17, I really hate combing my hair, and I don't like people. At all. Of course, there's some exceptions. Allie's one. There were others, but... well, I don't like to talk about them. Things happened. Sometimes people aren't who they seemed to be. And that's the end of that.
My parents were killed when I was five. I'd rather not talk about that either. Sensing a pattern? [laughs] I moved around a lot when I was little, going from foster home to foster home. I was, well, a difficult child, you might say. Plus, it didn't help that strange things seemed to always happen when I was around. Vases getting broken, paintings falling down, family members levitating. You know, typical trouble child stuff. I finally settled in with a Mrs. and Mr. Reese a couple years back with my... my adopted sister Alex. Mr. and Mrs. Reese decided to shape me up, so I've stayed at a boarding school in London up until about a year ago when I moved back to Bridgeview. And that's when I met Allie."

Alexandria "Alex" Lynette Damius (Reese)
From The Beauty Hair
"Hey, I'm Alex. Full name's Alexandria, but I've always hated it. Too stuffy and posh-sounding for my taste, both of which are adjectives I'd never use to describe myself. This whole 'introduction' thing makes me feel like I'm signing up for some lame online dating website. Hi, I'm Alexandria Damius, and I love puppies, chocolate, long walks on the beach... [laughs] But I'll try to keep this short and sweet for your sake.
My parents were both killed too when I was young. Yeah, yeah, no need to apologize or anything. I've gotten over it. Keep moving forward and all that jazz, you know? I've lived with my little bro Nathan for, gosh, eight years now? I love the kid, even though he might disagree. He tries to look tough, but don't let him fool you. Guy's a real softie on the inside. He might take some time to warm up to you, but once he does, he'll always be there for you, no matter what.
Now, I know that some people might question certain things that I've done. But you haven't lived through what I have, seen what I've had to see. And believe me, I know that what I'm doing is for the greater good. I'm not some sort of cold-hearted villain. I'm not evil. I'm just not afraid to do whatever it takes."
