David Algernon is a 15-year-old teenager who lived in Gravesfield, Connecticut with his widowed father William Algernon, who was a police investigator for the Gravesfield County Police Department without a mother. He grew up liking mythology and legendary creatures, including werewolves, when he described them as very loyal to the select few they accept into their circle and symbolized it as representing the duality of human beings as both animal and spiritual beings. Often without, friends and getting bullied in different schools, he met Luz when they were kids. Luz Noceda is a 14-year-old Afro-Dominican-American girl from Gravesfield, Connecticut and loves all things fantasy and magical, wanting to become a witch. Often feels as though she does not fit in, which accumulates into instilling a poor amount of self-worth when she directly or indirectly messes up and a strong desire to be seen as special and valued, and it's implied that her low self-esteem resulted in her obtaining a guilt and martyr complex. Her mother Camila Noceda is a veterinarian at the Gravesfield Animal Care Center and like William, she is a widow after her husband and William's best friend Manny died from an illness. Both parents become close to each other and taking care of their kids despite their dark past. As a werewolf, David's wolf name is Alpha and is abilities as a beast invulnerability to conventional harm because of their healing factor, superhuman speed and strength, and the capability to land on their feet after a steep fall.
