MARA KOTOBUKI (aka Mara-chan)

- Mara is a cute blonde girl who always wears a big red bow in her hair.  She's nearly obsessed with anime and cosplaying and tries to go to every local convention.  She loves to sew and cook, but her cooking skills leave quite a bit to be desired.  She's also a bit of a geek, being a fan of science fiction and gadgets, but she has the same luck with gadgets as she does with cooking.  She's also a huge fan of video games of all types.  Her sister is Bunny.  First appearance: "The Beginning", duh.

BUNNY KOTOBUKI

- Bunny is Mara's adopted sister.  She used to be a real rabbit, but after an accident she became human... mostly human.  She still retains the bunny ears and tail, but has shoulder-length pink hair.  She loves to cosplay too, but she's more into it for the sexy clothes than the competition.  She likes video games too, but prefers more of the action games like the Zelda series or Grand Theft Auto.  Bunny's boyfriend is Kyle and she's completely devoted to him.  She'd also do anything for her sister Mara.  She's also been seen since "The Beginning"

KYLE

- Kyle's an athletic young man with blonde hair.  One day at school he was glomped by a strange girl with bunny ears.  Soon after they were dating and he's never been happier.  Kyle doesn't get the whole cosplay thing, but he does enjoy watching anime and playing video games.  He doesn't have much to do in the comic... yet.  He was in "The Beginning"

HELENA

- Helena is a classmate of Mara and Bunny.  She has long light-brown hair she usually wears up with chopsticks.  She cosplays, but doesn't put as much energy into it as her friends so tends not to hang out with them as much.  She's based on Dottie's real life friend by the same name.  She's been around since "Making Friends at Lunch"

JADE

- Jade is the girls' classmate from China.  She usually wears her hair in pigtails, but when a convention comes around, she tends to dress in boy's costumes and hide the hair under wigs of various colors.  Bunny thinks Jade is quite cute as a boy, and so Jade's been trying to avoid her.  She's also based on a real life person, a friend of Joe's.  Jade's been around since "Making Friends at Lunch"

DOTTIE

- In the comic, Dottie has so far appeared as a judge at SuperDuperMegaUltracon, the guide to cons and Pocky and a few other Omakes.  In real life she's the wonderful artist and co-writer for this comic.  The things on her head are Moogle ears from Final Fantasy.  She's also Joe's fiance.  She was first seen in the Omake "And Now a Word from Our Authors"

JOE

- So far Joe's appeared as a very tired judge at SuperDuperMegaUltracon and the host for the guide to cons.  He also has a real life (of sorts) as the writer and web-designer for this comic, not to mention as Dottie's fiance.  He's wearing a Dejiko hat (from DI Gi Charat).  He came into the comic with "And Now a Word from Our Authors"

FANBOY

- The Fanboy is just that... a fanboy who followed Bunny home one day after a convention.  Bunny tried to keep him as a pet, but was forced to set him free in the local EB Games.  Since then he hangs out with the girls whenever he can, but they barely even notice he's around.  He's first seen in "Back to School"

Mara's Mom

- She's American, blonde, and a bad cook, but beyond that, little is known about Mara's mom.  She was (is?) married to Mara's Dad, but for some reason they moved apart.  She's first mentioned in "The End of a Long Day"

Mara's Dad

- We haven't met Mara's dad... yet.  All we know is that he lives in Japan and apparently left his family to persue his career.  He's first mentioned in "Mail Call"

- Mara's Rival.  She's not exactly evil, she just REALLY gets on Mara's nerves.  Nina's the kind of girl who was always just a little better than you and let you know it, and that pisses Mara off to no end.  She seems a little stuck up, but that could just be because she's a cheerleader.  Her first talking part was in "A Rival?" but she was actually one of the Yunas in "Prejudging"
