Lain Iwakura |
 |
Lain Iwakura is a Middle School student. She lives in a house with
her Mother, Father, and older sister Mika. Lain is very shy and timid. She is
friends with classmates Alice, Reika, and Juri. As the series starts, she shows little
interest in her "Navi" computer or the wired. |
Chisa
Yomoda |
 |
Chisa is a student at the same school as Lain. Her actions
set the series in motion and have a profound affect on Lain. |
Alice
Mizuki |
 |
Alice is in the same class as Lain and is eager to help Lain
escape from her shell. She protects Lain from the gentle teasing of her friends Reika and
Juri. |
Juri
Kato |
 |
Juri is also in the same class as Lain and hangs out with Alice
and Reika. She is the emotional one of the trio, but certainly more outgoing than Lain. |
Reika
Yamamoto |
 |
Reika rounds out Lain's schoolmate friends. She is snobby and very
critical of Lain, her behavior, and even her clothes. Even so, she backs down when
Alice protects Lain. |
Mika Iwakura
(Lain's Sister) |
 |
Mika is Lain's older sister. She is impatient and does not appear
to have a close relationship with Lain. She appears to have a poor regard for
"Navis" and the wired. |
Yasuo
Iwakura (Lain's Father) |
 |
Lain's father appears to be a "Navi" expert. He
maintains a huge home computer system which occupies most of his time and attention. |
Miho
Iwakura (Lain's Mother) |
 |
Lain's mother is a woman of few words. She seems cold and
withdrawn and barely communicates with anyone. She likes to eat rice. |
