These are the characters of the first story of the ParaVerse, titled Don't Let the Darkness Consume You.

Mary Jane Fitzgerald
A beautiful, pure, and severely damaged soul holding on for the good and an outside force following a traumatic event that marked her life.


 * Action Survivor:
 * Aunt Pennybags: After freeing the spirits of Willow’s Bell and marrying Jay Ambrose in 1989, Mary Jane starts sending Abigail Kraenen’s orphaned son huge paychecks because his mother was an example of how one can have a horrible backstory and move on and start a new life.
 * Badass Adorable: Ashley Murray rightly calls her a badass for fighting back and surviving against The Night Stalker, and Mary Jane is also exceedingly cute.
 * Break the Cutie: She’s a good hearted young woman who you just want to hug after all the trauma and chaos she suffers throughout the story.
 * Celibate Hero: Appears to be one, anyway. She is a virgin who manages to fight off Richard Ramirez twice. She subverts the celibate part when she decides to have sex with Jay Ambrose in The Girl’s Sorrows.
 * Combat Pragmatist: When she’s attacked, Mary Jane will use whatever means she has to escape, be it a frying pan or an oar.
 * Cosmic Plaything: This woman's life has been pure hell from the start and it just gets worse and worse for the poor woman.
 * Damsel in Distress: Mary Jane is kidnapped, gravely injured, and left for dead by the Night Stalker, and screams for help. However, she survives the injuries.
 * Deceased Parents Are the Best: She loses her parents in the New Moon Massacre by the hand of the envious Randy Cavanaugh, when all they did was to protect her.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending: After all the trouble and pain she has gone through, Mary Jane is rewarded with a much-deserved happy life and a loving family with Jay Ambrose.
 * Final Girl: She’s nice, intelligent, and has already proven herself capable of escaping danger at least once. And she survives.
 * It’s Personal: Her rivalry against the darkness reached a level where Randy Cavanaugh wanted to take every single person she loves the most, starting with her parents, and then with her newfound friends. It also involves The Night Stalker's obsession of killing her, until he caught Edward Sexton Church's attention in 1985.
 * Idiot Ball: Despite surviving a deadly encounter with the then-enraged Edward Sexton Church, Mary Jane thinks that it’s a good idea to have a little walk in the woods in the middle of the night alone...
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: As "The Dying Light", Mary Jane is a nice, pure, and beautiful young adult who cares about the safety of her friends. She also refuses to kill, stating that taking someone's life is beyond forgiveness.
 * Martial Pacifist: While she refuses to kill, Mary Jane passively incapacitated her nemesis Randy Cavanaugh with a hatchet's hammerhead, stating that her business was finished and the sins he committed will come after him eventually.
 * Nice Girl:
 * Pink Is Feminine: She wears a pink striped sweater with other bright colors at camp.
 * Psychic Link: Mary Jane and Anastasia Wynter have shared a spiritual connection between them ever since Anastasia rescued Mary Jane from the psychiatric hospital, and even saves her from a lethal deep wound.
 * Red Is Heroic: She is the main protagonist, and uses red colors usually. Notably, in her final confrontation against Randy Cavanaugh, she wears a red hoodie.
 * Scars Are Forever: After the deep wound caused by The Night Stalker, Mary Jane’s chest is left with a great, unrepairable scar that marked her entire life.
 * Thou Shall Not Kill: Due to her purity and seeing so much death with her own eyes, has made Mary Jane a person that will never take someone's life.
 * Took a Level in Badass:
 * Tragic Backstory: Exaggerated. Her parents were killed right in front of her when she was just a little girl and is sent to a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt.
 * Virgin Power: In a meta example worthy of the final girl archetype, Mary Jane seems to have a particular ability to survive run-ins with mass murderers due to her virginity. Subverted when she decides to have sex with Jay Ambrose in The Girl’s Sorrows.
 * Virgin Tension:
