===Main Characters===
*'''[[Burnout Girl|Jennifer 'Kristi' Burns]]''': The infamous 'Burnout Girl', Kristi is a rather reticent and cynical young girl, she can often be found drifting in thought, lost in music or nose-deep in a book
*'''Wade Kirkland''': Wade is a former [[Lawndale High]] student who dropped out in his junior year to pursue his own artistic ambitions and help support his family financially. The lead singer and guitarist of a grunge band, ''[[Harpies|The Harpies]]'', he still swings by the school occasionally, hanging out at the smoker pit with his friends and helping out at community events that support the underprivileged in Lawndale. His off-kilter cynical sense of humor balanced with an unusually altruistic nature immediately draws Burnout’s attention upon their first meeting. However, for all his good intentions, Wade has a notable reputation for being something of a delinquent and his tendency to be overly critical and (albeit unintentionally) inconsiderate of others emotions. Wade’s rather neglectful father, [[Axl]], runs a [[Axl's Piercing Parlor|piercing parlor]], while his [[Alison|older sister]] currently lives in [[Ashfield]]. He understandably has a resentful and complicated relationship with both of them. Wade is one of only a handful of original characters in ''Burnout'', as the author wanted to avoid distancing too far from the world of [[Daria]], although he mentions that Wade '''does''' ''technically'' appear in an episode of the show but has been tight-lipped to reveal which.
*'''[[Kelly|Kelly 'Red' MacIntosh]]''': Kelly, also known by her nickname ‘Red’, is a hyper-energetic, optimistically quirky young girl who somehow manages to see the best in everyone at Lawndale and goes out of her way rather early on to befriend the unusually quiet Burnout. True to her involved nature, Kelly is school's assistant librarian and the president of Student Council,
*'''[[Bob|Bob Rollins]]''': Bob is a close friend of
*'''[[Shaggy|Devan 'Shaggy' Rogers]]''': Devan is perhaps best known as Lawndale’s top stoner, a slacker in every sense of the word, he gets his nickname from both his rugged unkempt appearance and uncanny resemblance to the ''Scooby-Doo'' character of the same name. Devan is one of the first friends that Burnout makes in [[Timothy O'Neill|O’Neill’s]] [[Self-Esteem Class|self-esteem class]]. He consistently has to retake the [[Esteemsters|school tour]] at the start of every year due to his poor long-term memory and due to his academic failures has been stuck in tenth grade for [[The Misery Chick|roughly three years]]. In spite of his pot-associated challenges, he’s an eternally friendly, open-minded and positively encouraging ally to Burnout and the others.
▲*'''[[Kelly|Kelly 'Red' MacIntosh]]''': Kelly, also known by her nickname ‘Red’, is a hyper-energetic, optimistically quirky young girl who somehow manages to see the best in everyone at Lawndale and goes out of her way rather early on to befriend the unusually quiet Burnout. True to her involved nature, Kelly is the president of Student Council, and is responsible for organizing school events alongside [[Jodie Landon]]. Kelly is one of the few students who is openly gay, although her history in romantic endeavors has been complicated to say the least.
▲*'''[[Bob|Bob Rollins]]''': Bob is a close friend of Devan’s and the school’s resident punk rocker. Although soft-hearted and well-intentioned, he is a bit of a meathead as a result of a turbulent home life and tends to get in trouble picking fights with those who cross him.
*'''Arnold Burns''': Arnold is Burnout's father, hard-working and soft-spoken. He cares deeply for his daughter, but despite his best efforts, seldom has the time for her, leaving a rift in communication to open up between the two and widen throughout the years, especially after the passing of his wife.
