Liesel: A young German girl, who has been given to the Hubermann household as a foster child. She becomes fascinated with books and other literature. She is very close to her foster father and has a rough but loving relationship with her foster mother. She befriends Max, a Jew who shares the same love for reading and books that she does. She also befriends the mayor's wife who allows Liesel to read her collection of books.
Hans and Rosa Hubermann: They are the foster parents of Liesel and care for her very much, though each have a different way of showing it. Rosa is a bit rough around the edges, swearing frequently and being a bit over protective. Hans is more loving towards their new daughter. Teaching her how to read and write.
Rudy: He is Liesel's best friend and has a small crush on her. He works very hard to be an athlete and eventually achieves his goal. At a Hitler Youth competition, he wins three gold medals. He is rebellious by nature and his mouth tends to get him in trouble. He acts on impulse alone sometimes and wanted to be Jesse Owens to an extent where he colored himself black and ran around the track. He is the only boy in his large family besides his father, who is taken by the Nazi Party after Rudy declines the offer to join himself.
Max: The Hubermanns hide Max in their basement due to a favor Hans owes to Max's father for saving his life in WWI. He grew up as a fist fighter on the streets and made an unforgiving voyage to the Hubermann's home.
