I'm not sure who the main characters are without reading the book. But they could be ordinary people facing extraordinary situations based on the title's vagueness about specific character types.
Since I haven't read 'First Angle and Other Stories', it's hard to say exactly who the main characters are. However, considering the title, the main characters might be individuals who are in a position to offer a 'first angle' on events or experiences. They could be storytellers or observers of some sort. Maybe there are a set of characters who each have their own story to tell, and through their different perspectives (the 'first angle' for each of them), the overall collection of 'other stories' is formed.
I think the main themes in 'First Angle and Other Stories' may include perception and reality. The 'first angle' might be the starting point of how characters perceive things, and the 'other stories' could explore how that perception changes or is challenged. Another theme could be the power of storytelling itself. Each story within the collection could be a different exploration of how stories are told from a particular angle, and how they can shape our understanding of the world and the people in it.
I'm not entirely sure without reading it more closely, but typically there would be a protagonist who drives the story forward.
I'm not sure as the information about the main characters isn't given just from the title 'First Love and Other Stories'. But usually in stories about first love, there could be young protagonists, perhaps a boy and a girl who are experiencing love for the first time.
I'm not sure exactly as I haven't listened to this audiobook. But usually in stories about first love, there would be young protagonists, perhaps a boy and a girl who are at the center of the love story.
There's also Kanade Tachibana. She has a mysterious past and her interactions with Otonashi are very interesting. And Hinata is a key character too. He is a friendly and energetic person who adds a lot of humor to the story.

One of the main characters is likely Alibaba. He is a central figure in the famous story related to him. There may be other characters like the thieves in the 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves' story.
Since it's a Christmas story, there could be an angel - like character which might be related to the 'angle' in the title. This character could be important as it might bring some sort of message or miracle during Christmas. And of course, there could be a main character, perhaps a young person who is on a journey of self - discovery during the Christmas season, learning about the true meaning of Christmas through various interactions with other characters.
I don't know who the main characters are in 'ffm first stories' as I haven't read it.
In some cases, it might be teachers and students. In the context of early education, if a student was disobedient or didn't follow the rules, the teacher might have resorted to spanking. So, teachers and students could be main characters in such stories. Also, in some historical or fictional settings, elder siblings or family elders could be the ones involved in spanking the younger ones who were acting up.
