“*Just stating the facts, Tiny. No need to blush!*”
―Elle
**Elle Argent**, portrayed by Yasmin Finney, is a recurring character in *Heartstopper.* She is best friends with Tara Jones, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Nick Nelson, Darcy Olsson, Charlie Spring, and Sahar Zahid, and is the girlfriend of Tao Xu.

## Appearance

Elle is multi-ethnic, with her father being from the United Kingdom and her mother's family being from Egypt. Elle is very tall for her age, standing at 6'1" (the same height as Nick). She is extremely beautiful, with dark brown wavy hair, light brown skin, and dark eyes hidden away by black round glasses. She's often seen wearing wavy sun dresses or skirts with patterns made by herself.

## Personality

Elle is overall very sweet, caring, and friendly. Her transition led to her being bullied and even caused her to not be able to see family members in Egypt due to the homophobic laws there. Despite the trauma she's endured, Elle is very creative and artistic, upcycling clothes and mentions applying to art schools after graduating. She's somewhat boastful, playfully competing with Nick and Tao at the bowling alley during Charlie's 15th birthday. With Tao, she lovingly teases his short stature, referring to him as "Tiny Tao", though she is shown to get quite bashful around him due to their crushes on one another.

## Biography

Elle Argent is a trans girl, and went to Truham Grammar School for Boys before she came out. She transferred to Harvey Greene Grammar School for Girls following her transition and bullying from her peers in year 11.

## Personality

Harry is quite immature and enjoys annoying Nick and Charlie, as shown in *Heartstopper* (and the non-canon story *Five Days of Solitaire*). However, he will become more mature and supportive of Narlie's relationship later on *Nick and Charlie*, though, this is debatably due to his eagerness to gain popularity, as he only becomes this supportive of the relationship once others do, as pointed out by Oseman on her Tumblr page, which indicates that he's jumping on whatever is popular.

## Trivia

* His MBTI type is ESTJ/The Executive.
* His Hogwarts house is Gryffindor.

He has brown hair that is usually gelled into a side-part, but when it isn't it's described to fly around in wavy tufts. He also has "heterochromia iridum", with one eye being blue and the other being green. During his cameo in *Radio Silence*, the narrator remarked that he seemed nerdy and awkward for an athlete, due to his height and the fact that he was wearing *"massive glasses and jeans that were slightly too short for him."*

Sarah Nelson

* Graphic Novel
* Television Series

**Sarah Nelson**, portrayed by Olivia Colman, is Nick Nelson's mother. At some point, she divorced Nick's dad, after which she raised Nick and his brother, David Nelson, mostly by herself. She now lives with Nick and their two dogs.

## Personality

Sarah is a warm and understanding mother to Nick, and immediately supported him when he came out to her. He often comes to her for advice. She appreciates his relationship with Charlie and gets on with him well. Her relationship with David, however, seems to be strained. She doesn't agree with a lot of his actions, but finds it hard to directly tell him off. In the same fashion, she seemingly finds it hard to be critical of her ex-husband: when she does confront them with their behaviour at the end of Chapter 6, both David and Stéphane look surprised.

## Trivia

* **Nelson** may not be her last name, as she might have gone back to her maiden name after her divorce.
* Though she has been a recurring character in every chapter, and made apparances in the novellas as early as 2015, Sarah wasn't referred to by any name until the very end of Heartstopper, Chapter 6, released in 2021.

―Tara
**Tara Jones**, portrayed by **Corinna Brown**, is a recurring character in ***Heartstopper***. She is best friends with Elle Argent, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Nick Nelson, Charlie Spring, Tao Xu, and Sahar Zahid, and is the girlfriend of Darcy Olsson.

## Personality

Tara is shown to be straight-laced, quiet and observant. She notices Nick and Charlie hanging around each other, but knows not to overstep her boundaries, and lets Nick tell her the way he wants to. She is ecstatic when hearing that Nick and Charlie are dating. With Darcy, Tara is constantly pranked and lovingly teased by her. Along with Sahar, Tara seems to be the most well-adjusted of the group, having extremely supporting parents and living in a large home. Like Darcy, she's protective of her friends, rejecting Harry from her birthday party since he bullied Charlie constantly.

Tao Xu

* Graphic Novel
* Television Series

**Tao Xu**, portrayed by William Gao, is a recurring character in ***Heartstopper*** and ***Nick and Charlie***. He is best friends with Tara Jones, Aled Last, Isaac Henderson, Nick Nelson, Darcy Olsson, Charlie Spring, and Sahar Zahid, and is the boyfriend of Elle Argent.

## Appearance

In the graphic novel series, Tao is of Chinese descent and is the shortest of the boys, standing at about 5'5". He has short black hair and dark eyes. A signature part of Tao's outfits is his large collection of beanies, which he wears even in the summertime. In the television series, Tao is ironically the tallest of the group, standing at 6'3". His hair is split into two swirls underneath his beanie, and is often seen wearing sweaters and long-sleeve shirts. In the second season, he begins to change his appearance in order to impress Elle, wearing button up shirts with patterns and chino pants, while also cutting his hair to get rid of the two swirls he had.

## Personality

Out of all the members of the Paris Squad, Tao is the second most attentive of Charlie, behind Nick. Tao is extremely protective of his friends, as it's mentioned how he comforted both Charlie and Elle when they were faced by relentless homophobia and transphobia. Tao is initially very distrustful of Nick, believing his flirtatious attitude towards Charlie to be a ruse. But seeing how much Nick brings happiness to Charlie, Tao backs down. Tao is shown to suffer from low self-esteem, as he believes Elle isn't attracted to him whatsoever and thinks that their friendship is all that Elle wants. One flaw of Tao is his loud nature, as it's revealed that him speaking of Charlie's sexuality at school resulted in students overhearing and caused Charlie to be outed. When Charlie mentions this as the reason why he hesitated to reveal his relationship with Nick to him, Tao sinks into a brief depression and is too ashamed to face Charlie. This eventually passes over and the two reconcile, and Tao's mental health improves after he and Elle begin dating. In the second season of the television adaption, Tao reveals that he fears people leaving him due to his father passing away when he was twelve, and he latches on to his loved ones unintentionally.

## Trivia

* He used to be called **Luke**, but this was changed for the *Nick and Charlie* ebook.
* He is fluent in both Cantonese and English.
* His MBTI is ENFP/The Champion, as shown in the books, but he is mistyped and actually is an ISTJ/The Logistician.
* He has a film review blog.
* His favourite film is *Hunt for the Wilderpeople*.
* His Instagram handle, as shown in the comics, is @the.xu.tao and in the television series, is @tao\_moviexu.
