Characters
Note that this page may contain spoilers up to the current chapter of Radiance (specifically, regarding who is alive and their locations/affiliations). Consult the list with caution.
The list is sorted by species, and then alphabetically. Any person who is a vampire at any point in the story is listed under "Vampires", even if the person is also shown as a human.
Characters who are completely original to Luminosity/Radiance are marked with an asterisk (*) next to their names. Some characters can be presumed to exist (with or without names) in canon, but do not appear as individuals "on screen" or, in some cases, have canon names. These characters are marked with a caret (^) to indicate that they might as well be original. Elspeth is a special case and marked with two asterisks. Elspeth and all careted characters are explained in greater detail at the bottom of the page under "Originality Notes".

Originality Notes
Didyme's backstory is described by Stephenie Meyer in supplemental content. In the books, she appears only as a crossed-out name next to Marcus's in the character list at the end of Breaking Dawn. She is promoted to a more prominent presence and her story is described in the text itself of Luminosity/Radiance.
Saeed is not mentioned by name, described, or otherwise noticeably present in the canon novels. However, the list of Volturi in the back of Breaking Dawn is stated to be incomplete; "Saeed" is the name I gave to a generic non-witch guard member of the sort who would have been glossed over in said list.
Santiago is listed by name in the Volturi guard roster at the back of Breaking Dawn, but that is the only place in the book the name appears. Santiago's gender, characterization, history, real name, etcetera as they appear in Luminosity/Radiance are all original.
Sasha and Vasilii are described in canon as they inform the backstory and characterization of the Denali sisters Tanya, Kate, and Irina. They are promoted to a flashback-based presence in Luminosity/Radiance. The notion that Sasha was framed is original (although I think it's well-supported by canon).
Allirea is the name I gave to the eldest of Nahuel's three half-sisters, which he is stated to have in canon. All of her personal traits, including her power, are original.
Elspeth is genetically identical to the canon Renesmee. (Renesmee was born later; but Elspeth was created with harvested eggs, which by authorial fiat included the one that turned into Renesmee in canon. Elspeth's father being a vampire, I can handwave on his end.) The initial functioning of Elspeth's power (sharing dreams, showing remembered or hypothetical images) is canon for Renesmee. There is canon support for, but not outright statement of, the truth-based nature of the power. All other functional development is original.
Iseul is the name I gave to the youngest of Nahuel's three half-sisters, which he is stated to have in canon. All of her personal traits except her age are original.
Noemi is the name I gave to the middle of Nahuel's three half-sisters, which he is stated to have in canon. All of her personal traits are original.
Rachel and Rebecca are named as Jacob's elder twin sisters in canon. In canon, they get no screen time and do not become werewolves, although Rachel canonically became Paul's imprint instead of activating. The broad shapes of their histories up until their Luminosity appearances are canon-compliant. Their personalities, and Rebecca going by "Becky", are original. Becky's husband is not named in canon; the name "Caleb Euta" for him is original.
Brady and Collin are both named in canon, but appear onscreen only in wolf form. Their personal traits, including last names, are original.
