Since I haven't had the chance to read 'Hunting Ghosts and Other Collected Short Stories', it's hard to say exactly who the main characters are. However, based on the title, there could be characters who are enthusiasts of hunting ghosts.

In the stories, she might be on a journey to understand why she can see them and how to interact with them.

These characters would bring different perspectives on living with ghosts to the stories.
Perhaps there are also characters who are in positions of power or authority. Their stories could explore how power corrupts or how they use their power to either help or hinder those around them. Without reading the collection, it's difficult to be more specific about the main characters.
There are probably other soldiers within the group of ghosts. Each of them may have their own quirks and skills that contribute to the overall story. They all play important roles in the various missions and adventures that take place.
Maybe some well - known bounty hunters from the Star Wars universe, such as Boba Fett or Dengar. Their stories of hunting and survival in different situations would be the focus.
