Characters

 * Melati- The main protagonist, a 16-year-old Malay girl who has OCD, which manifests as a Djinn that shows her frightening visions of her mother (and later, Safiyah, Vincent and other loved ones) and forces her to count in threes. She is a fan of the Beatles and lives with her mother. During the riots, she tries to find her way back to her mother in order to protect her.
 * Safiyah- Melati's best friend. In contrast to Melati, she is innocent and peppy. She is unfortunately killed during an attack in the cinema where they were watching a movie, while Melati managed to escape.
 * Vincent- Auntie Bee's 18-year-old younger son. Kind and compassionate to those around him, he volunteers with the Red Cross during the riots, and forms a bond with Melati.
 * Auntie Bee- Vincent and Frankie's mother, a Chinese lady who happened to be in the same cinema as Melati and Safiyah. She rescues the former and takes her back home.
 * Frankie- Auntie Bee's 19-year-old older son. He is prejudiced towards the Malays due to the racist comments he got as a child.
 * Uncle Chong- Auntie Bee's husband and the father of Vincent and Frankie. A kindly man, he helps defend the house with his family during the riots.
 * Jagdev- A middle-aged Indian man who works with Vincent when on Red Cross duty. He is very jolly, and often jokes when on duy to lighten the mood.
 * Salmah- Melati's mother, who works as a nurse. She cares deeply about Melati, although she is troubled by Melati's Djinn problem. Melati's main goal throughout the series is to find her way back to her mother in the midst of the riots, in order to protect her.
