Midnighters is a young-adult book series written by Scott Westerfeld. It's set in the small town of Bixby, Oklahoma (which, incidentally, does exist in Real Life). The main premise is that there are 25 hours in a day. The 25th hour is nicknamed "the blue time" because everything has a slightly blue glow, and takes place right after the stroke of midnight.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is much Worse Than It Sounds for the Heroes, because creatures called darklings and slithers inhabit the blue time, which are as nasty as they sound. Also, technology and most ordinary people become frozen in time, and look like they came straight out of Uncanny Valley, according to the Midnighters crew.They're the heroes, and are the only people who can walk around and be not frozen in the blue time. They are Jessica, Jonathan, Melissa, Rex and Desdemona (who goes by Dess, for obvious reasons). They all have nonstandard powers (and are very sensitive to light).Jessica's power is that she can make technology work in the blue time, and Jonathan is an acrobat, which means he has an extreme ability to jump. Melissa is a mindcaster, which means she can read minds (and she can't stop, she's constantly bombarded except during the blue time. And she goes to high school.) Rex is a Seer, meaning that he can see only things related to the blue time; everything else is blurry without his Cool Shades. Desdemona is a polymath, meaning she is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good at math.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the Midnighter. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Midnighters / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Constanza Grayfoot is the fashion-obsessed queen of the school who struts about with her girl posse and dreams of being an actress in L.A. She's part Native American, not blonde, and is more harmlessly superficial than actually evil, so she's not a straight example. Lovable Alpha Bitch | |

Badass Normal: Jessica and Jonathan during the normal hours, since their powers are useless outside of Midnight. Though Johnathan can still work out angles and jumps for Le Parkour, he just can't leap five stories in the air anymore. | |
