every kane chronicles character really just characters so hard like hello? rick did not have to go this hard writing them (full rant about the main 4 characters ahead because i cannot be stopped)
carter kane being dragged around the globe by his father who's a fugitive of the house of life and unknowingly getting caught in that crossfire and always having to be perfect and then as he finally starts to figure himself out and become a magician and person in his own right, he's thrown right into another role of perfection and expectations. he's always been alone, until the day he isn't anymore, but at the same time, he's appointed pharoah and isolated once again and still stuck.
sadie kane being taken from her father and brother and being raised by her grandparents in london and growing up as far away from egypt and the house of life as she could get. she becomes a magician and a leader, but at the same time she has to leave the life she's established in london behind. she's sure and unsure at the same time, wanting nothing more than her family to lean on, and one day, she finally gets it. she's taken from her normalcy and thrown into a life of magic, but she takes it all in stride despite all of her worries.
zia rashid who's been loyal to the house of life since she was eight years old and they saved her after her village was destroyed by apophis. she unknowingly becomes the host of nephthys and gets replaced by a shabti and locked in a water tomb below her own village, only to be saved by a boy her replica started to fall in love with but she views as an enemy. she'd fight for the house until the end, but then one day, her loyalties slowly shift towards the kanes and the path of the gods. she's always just been a soldier, but then one day, ra returns and she learns that she is his chosen one. she no longer lives in the shadows.
walt stone who's known he's dying his entire life but comes to the house of life to learn magic anyway. he throws the last year of his life to their cause, thinking its the last thing he'll ever do. he believes in the cause and the kanes and he genuinely feels no regret at potentially accelerating his early death for their cause. but then he becomes the first ever human host of anubis, extending his life longer than he ever thought possible. he can dream again of a life beyond sixteen.
