H'ry of Dresden, Dragonrider, with his bronze Bobith; the old queen rider Luccio and the newest Queen Rider, Molly, daughter of Charity who runs the Lower Caverns and M'chael, rider of Ammorachieth; and H'ry's ongoing feud with the Weyrleader, M'rlin, and the Bronze Captain, M'gan; and T'mas, green rider and H'ry's half-brother by the Weyrleader of Raith Weyr.

Plus there's Susan the Harper girl, and Marcone, Lord Holder, and Toot-toot the fire lizard, anybody else you can work in...
