• Eleanor — Shy recluse, 20s to 40s

• Theadora — A creature of mood and sudden impulse, 20s to 40s

• Luke Sanderson — Charming heir to Hill House, 30s to 40s

• Mrs. Dudley — Stern, uncommunicative housekeeper, 60s

• Mrs. Montague — Formidable and overpowering, 40s to 60s

• Arthur Parker — Meek but intense, 40s to 60s
