Jadis, the White Witch
A woman whose beauty is only surpassed by her own cruelty
and coldness, Jadis is the most popular antagonist in The
Chronicles of Narnia. The White Witch used to be an extremely
powerful being in her homeworld, which she destroyed so it
wouldn’t fall in her rival’s hands. On her arrival to Narnia,
Jadis lost her powers, but eventually regained enough abilities
to usurp the throne and title herself as Queen. Her reign comes
to a brutal end through Aslan and the Pevensies.
The Pevensies
The Pevensies are the four children – Peter, Susan, Edmund
and Lucy Pevensie – that star in the books The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe and The Prince Caspian as their protago-
nists. Sent to Prof. Kirke during WWII, the children find the
wardrobe that takes them to the world of Narnia and to an
unforgettable adventure.
Cor (Shasta)
Prince Cor is one of the protagonists in The Horse and His Boy
(as he is said “Boy”). Cor lived in Calormen under the name “Shas-
ta” all his childhood, up to the moment when Bree convinces
him to leave the harsh climate and servitude of that region to
venture onto a free, temperate Narnia.
Arávis
The young Aravis Tarkheena joins Shasta in his journey to Nar-
nia, as she also wants to leave Calormen, albeit for different
reasons. The two fight a lot at first because of their origins:
Aravis is the daughter of Calormene nobility while Shasta is the
son of a simple fisherman. However, both become loyal travel
partners with a genuine care for each other.
