As the chronicle of one year in a 13 year old's life, the
most important characters in Black Swan Green tend to be the
narrator's family and people in his school. Other characters come into play in certain
chapters as minor, yet significant roles.
Jason Taylor: 13
year old protagonist and narrator of the story; picked on at school because of his
creativity, genuine innocence, and stammer
Michael and
Helena Taylor: Jason's parents with whom he has a typical relationship; his mother is a
bit brash and sarcastic while his father is more reserved and somewhat
distant
Julia: Jason's smart and protective older
sister
Ross Wilcox: leader of the bullies at school; a
tough-guy who antagonizes Jason with a group of his
followers
Dawn Madden: Ross' tom-boyish girlfriend on whom
Jason has a secret crush
Madame Eva van Outryve de
Crommelynck: an elderly Belgian exile renting the vicarage with her husband; becomes
interested in and critiques Jason's poetry
