characters

You may want "along with Scarlett" and then say "two of the most memorable..."

If I know Scarlett, in normal usage this means I have met her.

If I know of her, it means I haven't met her but I have some information about her.

You can't meet Scarlett or Maggie. That's why neither form works well when I am talking about non-real
