Esther de Groot The happy goth. Hailing from a comfortable middle-class home, Esther is mercurial, fun-loving, intelligent and adventurous. She is ready to meet the world and the world had better watch out.

Daisy Wooten Daisy is kind, open-hearted and giving. Home-schooled and brought up by her grandparents, she has a winning mixture of can-do confidence and naivete.

Susan Ptolemy With a tempestuous past and a grumpy present, Susan is a young woman with baggage. Raised in a boisterous family on the mean streets of Northampton, Northamptonshire, she is harder than the other two.
