Alec Whittaker - father of Katie Townsend (not an important character)

Louise Whittaker - mother of Katie Townsend

Josh Whittaker - 12 year old brother of Katie Townsend

Julia (Jules) Abbott - sister of Danielle (Nel) Abbott

Lena Abbott - 15 year old daughter of Daniele (Nel) Abbott, was best friends with Katie Whittaker

Here are the other main characters:
