Based on author Richelle Mead’s worldwide best-selling series, Vampire Academy tells the legend of two teenage girls who attend a hidden boarding school for Moroi (mortal, peaceful vampires) and Dhampirs (half-vampire/half-human guardians). Outside the sanctuary are the Strigoi (immortal, evil vampires), their mortal enemies; inside, they deal with the perils of Moroi society and high school. New to this vampire universe? Here’s a quick and dirty character guide to the movie, opening Friday.
Lissa (Lucy Fry):
Seventeen-year-old orphan Valissa (Lissa) Dragomir is the last in her royal family’s bloodline. She’s also the heir to the throne. Lissa is a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the Earth’s magic. Equal parts powerful and fragile, Lissa must be protected at all times by her best friend and guardian, Rose Hathaway

Rose (Zoey Deutch):
Rose is tasked with protecting Lissa after she was shipped off to St. Vladimir’s Academy by her famous, if not absent, mother. Rose spends her days fighting off rumors about her flings with vampires like Jesse Zeklos and learning how to kick serious butt. She’s widely known as a spitfire and loyal best friend.

Natalie (Sarah Hyland):
Natalie is part of a prominent royal family but her shy disposition and stage-five-clinger status often mean she’s left out of the party. She’s lucky that Lissa and Rose could use some friends these days because Natalie works as an easy stand-in for one.

Dimitri (Danila Kozlovsky):
Rose is learning the ways of the guardians from the best, Dimitri. He’s attractive, wise and a patient coach. He also winds up being a guardian to Rose herself... in more ways than one.

Christian (Dom Sherwood):
An orphan like Lissa, Christian’s parents turned to dark magic and they died because of it. Christian was spared their fate but not any stigmas. Whispers and gossip follow him everywhere, especially when he turns his gaze to the Princess Dragomir.

Mason (Cameron Monaghan):
Kindhearted Mason is everyone’s favorite guardian. He can be goofy, which doesn’t always make him a prime valentine, but he has other tricks up his sleeve. Rose could use a few more people looking out for her and Mason knows it.

Victor (played by Gabriel Byrne), Moroi Royalty:
Victor is Natalie’s uncle and a renowned figure among the royal hierarchy. However, he is still a Moroi, a mortal vampire. His failing health makes him an unlikely candidate to ever take the throne.

Queen Tatiana (Joely Richardson), Reigning Moroi Queen of Vampires:
Since rising to power, Queen Tatiana has faced more and more Strigoi (undead vampire) attacks as guardian numbers continue to dwindle. She’s glamorous and has a sharp tongue, but will it be enough to keep Moroi vampires out of danger?

Headmistress Kirova (Olga Kurylenko), St. Vladimir’s Academy:
Headmistress Kirova knows that she has to protect her students, but she will not stand for any foul play, no matter what the reasoning is. Heads will roll when Lissa and Rose return to Academy after running away.
