Humans

The Spiderwick Chronicles:

 Jared Evan Grace – The main character, a 9-year-old boy, from whose point of
view the books are written. Jared is a brave and resourceful natural leader,
shown to be good at creating plans. Jared also has some anger management
issues (which reflect on Thimbletack's change between brownie and boggart
form). While at the beginning of the story he shows no hobbies or love subjects
(like Simon's love for animals and Mallory's fencing), towards the ends he is
often said to be going to fill Arthur Spiderwick's steps, showing skills at drawing
and revealing to know a great deal about faerie lore in Beyond the Spiderwick
Chronicles.
 Simon Evan Grace – Jared's identical twin brother. He is calm and caring and
apparently a pacifist; he particularly loves animals, having many pets just as
mice, cats, goldfish and eventually a griffin.
 Mallory Evan Grace – Jared and Simon's 13-year-old sister. She is an avid
fencer who takes part in many fencing competitions. This skill comes in handy
when defending herself against goblins. She enters her brothers' adventures in
the faerie world very relunctantly at first, but is shown in the second installment
to have grown to be more adventurous and risk-taking.
 Arthur Spiderwick – The author of Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the
Fantastical World Around You. He worked as a plubicity artist and spent many
years researching faeries by doing field work and by contacting other
researchers (for example, for his entries on dragons and giants). His Field Guide
eventually made him be seen as a threat by the elves, who ordered him to
destroy it and imprisoned him for 80 years when he refused. Much like the Irish
hero Oisín, who spent hundreds of years in the faerie world, Spiderwick also
dies when he steps on the ground after being kept alive for more years then he
was supposed to live.
 Lucinda Spiderwick – The daughter of Arthur Spiderwick and the cousin of
Helen Grace's mother, making her the Grace children's great aunt. She was
abandoned by her father after he was kidnapped by the elves, never knowing
where he'd gone and being raised by the Grace children's grandmother. In
adulthood, she was attacked by Mulgarath's army and subsequently put in a
clinic for the insane. Because she tasted the food of the faeries, she can no
longer eat regular food, only being kept alive by the fruits given to her by the
sprites she played with as a child.
 Helen Grace – The mother of Jared, Simon, and Mallory.

Richard Grace – Helen Grace's ex-husband and the father of the Grace children.
