Meet the Characters of The Loop Breaker series
Have you met the characters of Russ Thompson’s The Loop Breaker series?
Let’s take a journey back to Laverne, where The Loop Breaker series introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters, each with their own extraordinary path.
Lee Ann is a sensitive, determined, and artistic young woman. Following her mother’s passing, she’s uprooted and brought to Laverne to live with her father, Charles. As she navigates this painful transition, Lee Ann discovers an unexpected gift: spirits are reaching out to her, seeking her aid. With the guidance of her new friends and a local psychic named Felicity, she begins to understand the purpose behind her ability.
Lee Ann’s journey is one of resilience and self-discovery. Through her struggles with loss, fear, and anger, she learns to embrace her gift and find strength in helping others. Supported by her friends, she steps into her own power, ready to confront the mysteries that Laverne has in store.
Lee Ann’s father, Charles, is a practical, resilient man who has worked hard to build a stable life. Overcoming struggles with addiction, he now runs a mechanic's shop in Laverne, pouring his heart into his work and family. Though he deeply loves Lee Ann, his well-intentioned plans for her future often clash with her own dreams. A man of few words but solid actions, Charles is steadfast in his support of Lee Ann’s journey, offering a steady presence through her trials. Despite Lee Ann’s maturing, he still affectionately calls her “Punkin,” a nickname that often tests her patience but also reminds her of his enduring love.
Felicity is the enigmatic town psychic, a compassionate and insightful woman with a remarkable ability to sense paranormal energies. In a town where many view her gifts with suspicion, she is undeterred, offering counsel and guidance to those in need. Felicity becomes a trusted mentor to Lee Ann, helping her navigate her supernatural abilities and unravel the chilling mysteries of Thief’s Hollow. With a deep kindness that transcends the judgment of others, Felicity also plays a crucial role in protecting Lee Ann through even greater perils at Whispering Falls, anchoring her through every supernatural twist.
David is Lee Ann’s kind-hearted and supportive boyfriend, who feels deeply connected to the only home he’s ever known—Laverne. Though he and Lee Ann share a strong bond, his sense of limitation about his future creates tension when Lee Ann leaves for college. David’s talents and self-awareness are still evolving, and he struggles with the idea of watching Lee Ann’s world expand while his own stays small. Yet, through every challenge, David’s loyalty and unwavering love serve as a source of comfort for Lee Ann, grounding her through even her toughest moments.
Clever, fierce, and unapologetically bold, Katrina is the friend everyone wants by their side in a fight. She’s one of the first friends Lee Ann makes at her new school, standing by her against anyone who dares to cause trouble. With a quick wit and unfiltered honesty, Katrina is unafraid to call things as she sees them, especially when it comes to protecting her friends. Her loyalty and insight make her an indispensable ally to Lee Ann, helping her face the dangers of Thief’s Hollow and later, Whispering Falls, as the mysteries grow darker and more complex.
Jasmine is one of Lee Ann’s first friends in Laverne. Initially shy, Jasmine’s gentle nature and intuitive mind quickly endear her to Lee Ann and Katrina. Under her quiet exterior, she offers a keen insight that often proves invaluable, helping Lee Ann piece together the mysteries surrounding Thief’s Hollow. As Lee Ann’s journey unfolds, Jasmine’s friendship remains a source of quiet strength and stability, staying by Lee Ann’s side and offering her steady support, even as they both begin new chapters after high school.
As you explore the stories, struggles, and transformations of these characters, we hope you feel the heartbeat of The Loop Breaker series. Each character, in their own way, reveals a piece of what it means to face the unknown, to challenge fate, and to find strength in the presence of kindred spirits.
