Characters are important to every story. Here is a list of the characters from this series and a look at their first appearances. Characters shown in flashbacks or photographs for their first appearance will be listed twice if they later make an appearance in person, unless that first appearance is in the same issue in which case the flashback or photograph will be ignored and their first actual appearance will be chosen. Likewise characters shown in issues or trades with multiple stories where the one or ones they appear in doesn't include any main universe Grimm Fairy Tales characters will be listed twice, first in that and then in the issue which contains their first appearance with main universe Grimm Fairy Tales characters, unless their first appearance with main universe Grimm Fairy Tales characters occurs in the same issue or trade, just in a later story in it. Crossover events are the exception for this. All pictures should be their very first appearance in the first issue they are in regardless of how closely it does or doesn't resemble them.
Characters listed on this page made their Grimm Fairy Tales comic debut in 2008.
