Human

Humans are the dominant species on earth, who feature heavily in the Evernight series. Humans are mortal and have far more weaknesses and vulnerabilities than the supernatural species do, but also have advantages over them. Most humans - at least in the modern Western world - are unaware of the existence of the supernatural, believing themselves to the only sentient species on the planet.

Both wraiths and vampires have a habit of preying upon humans - wraiths in order to feel alive again and vampires to feed on their blood. As a result of this, and human prejudice, some humans that discover the existence of the supernatural make it their mission to hunt them down and destroy them. However, other humans are shown to live in relative peace alongside supernatural beings.

Humans typically possess no supernatural powers, though there are exceptions. Some humans are born with or develop psychic abilities, allowing them to see or communicate with the dead. So far, the only human depicted in the series with such abilities is Skye Tierney, who may have been born with powers that came to the surface after being possessed by a wraith. Humans who are fed on by a vampire begin to take on vampiric traits, such as increased strength, healing, speed and senses. They become vulnerable to holy water, but still have human weaknesses too and usually have no desire to drink blood, with Lucas Ross finding the taste revolting. It is possible for humans to be turned into vampires or wraiths; humans who are repeatedly fed on by a vampire until they die will rise as a vampire, whilst humans who are victims of homicide can potentially become wraiths.
