Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook) is a main character in Netflix’s First Kill. Based on the short story by V.E. Schwab, the plot centers on two enemies: Calliope and Juliette. As the title suggests, each must carry out their first kill — Calliope must kill her first monster and Juliette must feed from her first victim — but they fall for each other instead. Juliette is a vampire, specifically a Legacy vampire, who can easily blend in with humans. Sweet and well-meaning, she attends Lancaster Academy with her best friend Ben. Her family urges her to make her first kill, but she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. But as her thirst increases, it becomes difficult, especially while crushing on Calliope. Her style is girly prep, which reflects her initial innocence and purity.

She tries to encourage Juliette to give into her true nature and make her first kill. But it’s revealed her intentions have been sinister and self-centered. Her style is similarly girlish, but oppositely provocative to contrast her sister’s purity.

He’s nerdy and shy, but he also likes creepy things, as all vampires do. Orson is very curious about the human world, and would rather know more about them than drink their blood. For instance, he shows affection towards Hannah, his first human friend — and maybe his first crush.
