Who are the characters in the host?

Answer 1

In the host by Stephenie Meyer the characters and roles are as followed:

• Wanderer or Wanda: the soul who is the main character and the novel is from her point of view--her host is Melanie Stryder, and has been on more than seven other planets as different species. She loves Jamie, Mel's brother, and Mel's lover Jared. She falls in love with Ian.
• Melanie Stryder: Wanda's host. Mel is strong-minded enough to be able to share her mind and body with Wanderer; Wanderer can 'hear' her in her mind, and to an extent, Mel can control her own body (with Wanda still in it). She loves Jared.
• Jared: Is in love with Melanie, though nine years older. He finds her when she is still human and cares for her brother Jamie when Mel is found by Seekers. He also loves Wanderer, the soul, and also loves Jamie who is almost like his own brother.
• Jamie: Though older than he sounds, he is the youngest of the group, Mel's brother. He loves his sister Mel, and Jared as his brother and Wanderer as much. Everyone loves Jamie.
• Ian: Kyle's brother, and Wanda's lover. He does not care if Wanderer is a little soul, or a silver worm, as Kyle puts it, and makes sure that Wanda does not leave him, even at the end.
• Jeb: Mel's uncle, who is exceptionally nice to Wanderer. He is kind but firm, and owns the house everyone is accommodated at.
• Doc: the helpful, kind Doctor Who wants Wanda to stay as much as everyone else and swears to let Wanderer let go and 'not to be a parasite' like Wanda calls herself, but breaks his promise and lets her live as a soul of another, Petal or Pet.
• Kyle: He is Ian's brother, and is usually very selfish and mean to Wanda, and tries to kill her but ends up almost dying but Wanda saves him. Therefore he agrees not to kill her. He loves Jodi.
• Jodi: she was also found like Melanie and they took her soul out but her body could not wake up. Sunny, another soul, is found and inserted into Jodi's body, where she is happy with Kyle. Kyle is happy because the soul he loves is in the body he loves, and Sunny wanted to stay, and help Jodi.
• Heidi, Lily, Aaron, Brandt, Trudy, Geoffrey, Heath, Paige, Andy: also part of the family, all humans and friends.
• Wes and Walter: with the humans as well, and very loyal and kind. They both died during the novel.
• Seekers: Almost everyone is afraid of the Seekers. Let's leave it at that.
• Healers: Like doctors, but much better. With only a few medicines, like No Pain, Clean, Heal and Seal, they can completely heal and nurse someone back to health. Healers completely trust souls, and Wanda uses that advantage to get some medicines to nurse Jamie and anyone else.

Well that's it, actually there might me a few more characters but ive got other stuff.

PS the host is a really really really good book. Anyone who loves the twilight saga and romance and fantasy you should read this book. good one, Meyer! I think i even like the host more than the twilight saga! (oh and im team Taylor Lautner)

Answer 2

The main characters in "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer are Melanie Stryder, Wanderer (Wanda), Jared Howe, Ian O'Shea, and Jamie Stryder. Melanie and Wanderer share a body as Melanie resists the alien parasite implanted in her while developing a bond with the humans seeking refuge. Jared and Ian are two love interests caught in the emotional turmoil caused by Melanie and Wanderer's coexistence. Jamie is Melanie's younger brother and forms a close relationship with Wanderer.
