Cassie Morgan
Cassie spent seven years in a boarding school but now she lives with her aunt, the Hedgewitch, at Hartwood Hall in Hedgely. She’s desperate to find out what happened to her parents and rescue them.

Rue Whitby
Rue is the first friend Cassie makes in Hedgely. She grew up in the village and her family owns the village shop. Rue has three brothers and goes to the local school.
Full of energy and enthusiasm, Rue is always up for an adventure. She is fiercely loyal and protective of her friends and family but she can be very competitive at coven games.

Tabitha Blight
Tabitha moved to Hedgely at the same time as Cassie. She comes from an old witching family in Somerset. Tabitha has two younger sisters.

Tabitha lives with and looks after her grandmother. She is passionate about potions and always looking for new herbs and recipes.
Tabitha’s familiar is Wyn the white rabbit
Her broom is named Aura

Ivy Harrington
Less of a friend and more of a rival, Ivy Harrington thinks she’s the best witch in the coven and she’s determined to prove it. She’ll do whatever it takes to impress the Hedgewitch and make Cassie and her friends look foolish.
Snooty and strong willed, Ivy works hard to reach her goals – perhaps she and Cassie may have more in common than they realise?
Ivy has an excellent singing voice and is good at just about every type of witchcraft.
Ivy’s familiar is Kastor the stoat
Her broom is called Vortex
Ivy’s birthday is November 8th
