Common characters in this type of fanfiction include Willy Wonka, who is central to the story as the adopter. The Oompa - Loompas are important too. They have their own unique culture and way of doing things in the factory. The main character who is adopted is the focus of the story, of course. Sometimes, there might be new characters created specifically for the fanfiction, like a magical creature that lives in a hidden part of the factory and befriends the adopted character. This adds a new element to the story and can create interesting interactions with the existing characters.
Obviously, Willy Wonka is a common character. He's the one who adopts the protagonist. The Oompa - Loompas are also common. They might play different roles, sometimes as helpers, other times as a bit of an obstacle for the adopted character. And of course, the main character who is adopted by Wonka is always there.
