5ive Girls

Elizabeth is the girl whose sudden disappearance on the third floor triggers the film's events. Her vanishing haunts the school and she reappears only through clues like Elizabeth's journal, which surfaces after Connie's possession. She remains a catalyst whose fate drives Miss Pearce's decisions and the students' race to understand the demonic threat.

Mara is one of the five girls who possesses healing abilities; she shows quiet leadership and compassion. She heals Alex after her beating and becomes a steady ally to the others as they face danger. Mara's empathy and resilience help hold the group together during their most dire moments.

Alex has telekinesis and a strong, protective will. She takes an active role in opposing Legion and uses her power to shield friends and to manipulate the environment in their favor. Her courage and determination push the group to confront the demon directly.

Cecilia possesses ESP and second sight, giving her a unique precognitive perspective on events. She endures severe injury during the fight with Legion, which grants her a potent form of sight—‘first sight’—that augments the girls' attempts to understand and combat the demon.

Connie is a conduit, a magnet for spirit activity. She is the first to be possessed, triggering a chain of possession and tragedy, and ultimately dies during the confrontation with Legion. Her role as a spiritual conduit catalyzes the girls' realization of their gifts.

Leah can pass through objects, a power that proves useful and dangerous as Legion possesses her. Her transformation into a host demon becomes a crucial obstacle for the protagonists, culminating in a brutal confrontation with Father Drake and others.

Miss Pearce is the harsh headmistress who enforces the school’s rules with brutal discipline. She is Elizabeth's sister and orchestrates a plan to trap Legion, using the girls as instruments in a larger occult endeavor. Her actions drive much of the plot’s tension and moral ambiguity.

Father Drake is a priest at the school who attempts to save Elizabeth but becomes a drunken, broken figure over time. He struggles to exorcise the demon and stands as a symbol of faith tested by failure and fear in the face of Legion.

Virgil appears as a monkish groundskeeper who initially seems benevolent and protective. He becomes a conduit for Legion at the climax, revealing the danger of trusting appearances and ending with an ominous twist as the demon moves between hosts.

Mr. Garrison is a member of the school staff who appears in a minor capacity. He is part of the backdrop of the school's environment as the events unfold.
