Meet the Characters of Dante’s Kiss
The Protagonist
DANTE is a teenage rebel with treacherously good looks and an alluring but dangerous dark side. He is a magnet for the girls—all the wrong kinds of girls. Good looking girls with play dough morality seem always to find him. But, Dante wants to blow up his reality by falling in love with the right kind of girl—the one who can see him for who he really is.
A rocker in a rapper-controlled world.
The Heroine
KIRIELA is a sixteen-year-old three quarter angel who is exiled to the Caribbean when she and her once-secret boyfriend cause chaos in Heaven. She is passionate but naïve, eventually giving up everything she cares about in exchange for the experience of a human relationship with a boy called Dante Vega.
But while she is willing to experience all that humanity offers, she is not willing to give up her holy angel status–especially when that status is the only way to protect Dante, who has fallen into Lucius’s radar.
The Antagonist
JADIEL is a seventeen-year old spiritually delinquent angel who goes to the deepest, darkest places of himself and rebels against the strict rules and conservative attitudes of his guardians. Because of that rebellion, he is exiled to Abaddon—the notorious school for the fallen under the city of San Juan.
Jadiel is handsome, brutal, and supernaturally powerful. And he is in love with Kiriela, which complicates his life as a fallen angel. Jadiel has only one motivation for sticking around on Earth: to destroy his rival, Dante Vega.
