Susan Pevensie
As the second oldest, Susan takes on the
role of mother for her younger brother and sister. Her wisdom helps reaffirm
Peter's decision to remain in Narnia and search for Mr. Tumnus. Susan is unlike
her brothers and sister, Lucy, in that she is cautious and more likely to take
the safer road than the more adventurous.
3.
Edmund Pevensie
A complainer, Edmund constantly receives
reprimands from his older brother, Peter. The jealously he holds against his
siblings is fueled when the White Witch convinces him that she will make him a
prince. His selfishness and desire to avenge his pride leads him to betray his
brother and sister, a decision that causes him and many others pain.
4.
Lucy Pevensie
The youngest of the four Pevensie
children, Lucy is the first to open the wardrobe door and enter the magical
world of Narnia. During her visit, she befriends Mr. Tumnus, a faun. Her
loyalty is evident when she determines to rescue him from the White Witch.
Lucy's strong belief in Aslan causes her to have a special bond with him.
5.
Aslan The Great Lion
Founder of Narnia, Aslan travels from
kingdom to kingdom, and comes when there is a great need. His presence in
Narnia interrupts the Witch Witch's power over the land. Aslan is a big and
terrifying beast that also can be gentle, as he is with the four Pevensie
children.
6. Jadis, The White Witch
The evil sorceress, the White Witch,
reigns as queen over the land of Narnia. Her magic spell makes it so that the
kingdom is covered in winter snow without the hope of the inhabitants ever
seeing Christmas. Edmund becomes her slave when he gives into the temptation of
eating her food and drinking from her cup.
