 Victor Van Dort

Victor is a nervous, shy, good-hearted young man who hails from a family of nouveaux riches, or "new money". His social-climbing parents have made a fortune, but come from humble fish-mongering origins. They are eager to join the ranks of the aristocracy through the arranged marriage of their son with Victoria Everglot, the daughter of a titled, but penniless, family. Fortunately, Victor finds the charming young lady shares much in common with him and they fall almost instantly in love.

 Emily, the Corpse Bride

She is a beautiful corpse who has died from an accident on her wedding day. 'Lord Barkis' is the man who has murdered her to get her family's fortune.Ever since that day Emily has been looking for her true love who will propose to her for her hand in marriage. Which leads to Victor who has accidentally proposed to her (when practicing his wedding vows). Emily has a lack of common sense and is quite naive. But she is a beautiful creature who sheds tears and gets heart broken even though her heart has stopped beating. She has a maggot that lives in her head which occasionally knocks out her eyeball to talk to others and gives her a lot of advice

 Victoria Everglot

Victoria is the daughter of Maudeline and Finis Everglot, a repulsive couple in a "sad, sad state of affairs." She has long dreamt of marrying a man that she loves, but is afraid that it seems silly to others. She wanted to learn how to play the piano, but her mother said that music is "too passionate for a young lady." However, Victoria breaks the mold of quiet as she displays a more outgoing nature contrary to the film's first introductions. Victoria's arranged marriage to Victor was supposed to be her parents' "ticket to their rightful place", meaning that Victor's family's money was supposed to save them from the poor-house. Luckily, Victor and Victoria find much in common with each and fall almost instantly in love.

 Nell Van Dort

Victor's mother. She is often seen with expensive clothing, some kind of animal pelt around her neck, and a folding fan. She dislikes her carriage driver Mayhew for his persistent coughing fits, and doesn't appear very remorseful about Mayhew's death later in the film Victor's mother.

 Maudeline, Lady Everglot

The dominant person in hers and Lord Everglot's relationship,
