Witch and Wizard by James Patterson

Feminist : Wisty
Wisty is a Feminist, because she is one of the main characters, and is Whit's sister. In the book the story is told from two perspectives, Whit and Wisty's.

Reluctant Hero : Whit and Wisty
"Wisteria Allgood," Byron said monotone like a bailiff, and pulled out an actual scroll of official-looking paper. "The New Order is taking you into custody until your trial. You are hereby accused of being a witch." My jaw dropped. "A witch? Are you nuts?" I shrieked. This proves that Wisty doesn't believe that she truly has any sort of special powers, and therefore isn't currently accepting the fact that she's a witch. "As far as I knew, I was not a wizard, and not a superhero either." This quote shows that Whit also doesn't believe that he possesses and special powers as well.

Shapeshifter : Byron
"Wisteria Allgood?" As they moved into the light, I saw two men and...Byron Swain? Byron was a kid from my high school, a year older than I, a year younger than Whit. As far as I knew, we both hated his guts. Everyone did." This quote shows that Byron is a shapeshifter, because he goes from being a normal high school student to becoming an interrogator, and imprisoning two of his classmates.

Shadow : The One Who Is The One
"Hello Allgood family," he said in a quiet, forceful tone that made me pay very close attention to every word. "I am The One Who Is The One. Perhaps you've heard of me?"... " I will make this simple for the two of you . All you have to do is renounce your former existence - your freedoms, your way of life, and your parents in particular - and you will be spared. You will not be harmed if you obey the rules. Not a hair on your heads will be touched. I promise. Renounce your former ways and your parents. That's all. Simple as apple pie." This quote shows that The One Who Is The One is truly a menace. Although he currently rules the government, he really is the main antagonist of the story. After all, he has imprisoned many children for reading certain books, listening to music etc.
