Azin
She is the tallest among the students and has blonde hair. She is considered a 'trophy wife' by her rich merchant husband, and has a three year old daughter. Towards the end of the novel, Azin develops marital problems and wants a divorce. She is inclined to talk about love, sex, and men and because of her outrageous comments, she was dubbed 'the wild one' by the reading group. Azin often clashed with the more traditional Mahshid and Manna.
Mahshid

Mahshid is dainty and has delicate features. Her father is a devout Muslim man. Mahshid was once sent to jail because she was involved with a nonconformist religious organization. As a result of her jail experiences, she was banned from having an education for two years and her kidney became impaired as well. Mahshid is lonely, and even at the age of thirty-some years, she still lives with her mother.
Manna

Manna is withdrawn and writes lots of poetry. She cherishes memories of her father who passed away after the revolution and of her childhood.

Mitra

Mitra is beautiful and her smile is marked by her dimples. She is married to Hamid, and towards the end of the novel, they plan to leave Iran and move to Canada.
Nassrin
Nassrin joined Nafisi's class later than the rest of the students. Nassrin secretly attended Nafisi's class while lying to her father, who knew all along but kept quiet about the matter. Like Mahshid, Nassrin had once been in jail, but was saved from execution becuase of her father's credentials. Nassrin eventually left the country because she could no longer stand the feeling of living in Iran. She escaped to London in search of a better future.
