When Luna becomes a naughty child, he wants to teach her poetry to keep her occupied. He also carries her around and takes care of her. When Xan brings Luna home, he tries his best not to like the baby, but as soon as she mentions his name, his heart melts. He is a poet and has a feeble for language.

Glerk is a friendly swamp monster that lives together with Xan. Luckily, Xan is able to teach Luna how to manage her magical powers, and Glerk takes care of the child after Xan’s death. However, this spell also means that she sets the time for her own death which is due on the day that Luna’s magic erupts. Therefore, she puts a spell on her to contain her magic. However, her old age is taking a toll on her, and she accidentally gives Luna moonlight to drink, which makes the child very naughty and her magical powers unpredictable.

Giving them starlight to drink, she calls them Star Children and brings them to the Free Cities, where they grow up to become rich and happy people. Xan is a friendly witch who is described as a “large, good-tempered toad.” She has a big heart and saves the sacrificed children who the Elders place in the forest every year. Eventually, she kills the evil witch Sister Ignatia and seizes power over the Protectorate, where she now spends her time telling other Star Children about their real parents. She reunites with her mother Adara and uses her magic to protect the city from an erupting volcano. Close to her 13th birthday, she begins to understand the nature of her abilities. However, this also results in Luna being unable to hear the word ‘magic’ or see anything that has to do with magic. As a last resort, Xan puts a spell on her, effectively bundling her magic into a tiny grain. She is very smart but also very naughty, which soon makes it impossible to teach her. She grows up in the witch’s house causing all sorts of problems. This makes Luna powerful in terms of magic but also unpredictable. However, she is saved by the witch Xan, who accidentally feeds her moonlight instead of starlight. As a baby, the Elders take her to the forest to sacrifice her.
