Vampire Academy Characters

Meet the Cast

Rosemarie Hathaway

Our leading lady Rose is one feisty chick. She might be a dhmapir, but that doesn't stop her from speaking her mind to the Morois, royals, or even her teachers. She's headstrong, stubborn, and sass...

Princess Vasilisa Dragomir

Unlike her fancy-pants title or her fellow royal Morois, Lissa is a low-key, down-to-earth type of gal. She's innocent, sweet, and is nice to just about everybody, regardless of social class. In fa...

Dimitri Belikov

When we first meet the legendary Dimitri Belikov, he's taking Rose and Lissa back to the academy—the one place they don't want to go. You'd think we'd hate him just a little bit, but it's actual...

Prince Victor Dashkov

At first, Lissa and Rose totally trust Victor—in fact, he's the first person Rose is even happy to see when she and Lissa get back to the academy. He's caring, sweet, and he's got a nasty disease...

Jesse Zeklos and Ralf Sarcozy

If you thought Jesse and Ralf were pretty much the same guy in two bodies, then you're right. Sure, one might make out with Rose (Jesse) and the other just brags about it (Ralf), but both of them l...

St. Vladimir, Anna, and Ms. Karp

You won't find this motley crew alive and well in the story, but they're certainly on the pages of Vampire Academy. St. Vladimir is the patron saint of the school, and he and his trusty shadow-kiss...

Headmistress Kirova

Vulture-like, slim Headmistress Kirova doesn't mess around. Rose doesn't like her too much, but then again, who likes the principal when they get in trouble? It's hard to like Kirova since she has...
