->''"Not we… I’m not a magical boy like you guys."''
Connor is the main protagonist of ATUSILY. He is a hedgehog hybrid granted the power to jump timelines via his contract with XD, which he makes in order to try and save his best friend. Connor is stubborn and secretive, and very emotionally-driven. He also seems to view himself as being a burden on the others early on in the fic, since he can't help them fight witches.

Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: Connor promises Ty in the original timeline that everything will be okay, despite the fact that Schlatt just died and this clearly isn't true.
* BlessedWithSuck: Applies to all magical boys, but especially Connor, since he's stuck reliving a very traumatic experience.
* BrokenBird: Connor sometimes comes off as distant and cold due to the situation he's found himself in.
* TheChampion: To Schlatt.
* ColorMotif: Blue.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Presented to the reader in the very first chapter.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Gender-swapped and played with. While he’s a good guy, his actions make him extremely morally gray and he has selfish motives. Played straight in regards to the loneliness aspect.
* DeclarationOfProtection: His wish is one.
* EmotionSuppression: Despite being driven almost entirely by emotion, he tries his hardest not to express it.
* {{Expy}}: Connor is clearly inspired by Homura - he [[MentalTimeTravel time travels]] out of grief to attempt to prevent the death of one of his loved ones.
* MentalTimeTravel: Kind of. Connor actually jumps into a different timeline a little bit before the point in time he was at in the timeline he came from. Despite this, he essentially takes control of that timeline’s version of himself, rather than physically traveling to the timeline.
* MirrorCharacter: With Karl. Both are magical boys with time-travel powers, for very different reasons.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Schlatt.
* RedOniBlueOni: Schlatt is the brave, passionate, outgoing leader, while Connor is the quiet, reserved and snarky friend and tagalong. They're even red and blue [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded]]!

Added DiffLines:

* ColorMotif: Red.
* {{Expy}}: Schlatt fills Madoka's role in regards to interactions with other characters, particularly Connor.
** Schlatt is also somewhat similar to Mami - he plays the role of a mentor / parental figure, alongside Connor, to Ty - and he dies early on. They also both use guns as their weapon of choice.
* KilledOffForReal: Heavily [[PlayingWithATrope played with]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Connor.
* RedOniBlueOni: Schlatt is the brave, passionate, outgoing leader, while Connor is the quiet, reserved and snarky friend and tagalong. They're even red and blue [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coded]]!
* TragicBromance: With Connor.


Added DiffLines:

* BreakTheCutie: While his exact fate after Schlatt's death is unknown due to Connor jumping timelines when it happens, from what we see in the other timelines, the two are almost parental figures to him.
** This means he basically had to watch one of his parental figures die and the other, in an emotional wreck, lie to him and tell him everything will be fine before seemingly abandoning him by jumping to another timeline.
* ColorMotif: Pink.
* ParentalAbandonment: While not actually his parents, and not intentional in the slightest, Ty's two parental figures end up leaving him alone - Schlatt dies, and Connor jumps to a new timeline to try to fix everything.
** It is worth noting, however, that his actual parents are never seen.

'''Weapon''': Polearm \\



->''"Not we… I’m not a magical boy like you guys."''
Connor is the main protagonist of ATUSILY. He is a hedgehog hybrid granted the power to jump timelines via his contract with XD, which he makes in order to try and save his best friend. Connor is stubborn and secretive, and very emotionally-driven. He also seems to view himself as being a burden on the others early on in the fic, since he can't help them fight witches.
----



'''Weapon''': Rifle \\



->''"Cantrelle, witch of songs carried along the railroad tracks, your reign of terror ends here!"''
Schlatt is a sheep hybrid who wants to make the world a better place by defeating witches. He is confident, hardworking and compassionate, and is driven by his desire to improve the world, even just a little. He is also very protective of Connor and Ty, to the point of putting himself in danger.
----



'''Weapon''': Axe & shield \\



-> ''"I found a labyrinth. We should go check it out, right? After all, we can’t leave a witch hanging around."''
Ty is a young magical boy, around 16 years old, of an unknown species, who lives with Connor and Schlatt in their apartment. The two act as mentor/parental figures towards him. He is upbeat and hopeful, but overeager to run into battle. Despite his age, he's not to be looked down upon - he's a skilled fighter.

'''Weapon''': Staff \\



Karl has yet to appear in the fic, but according to the author's Tumblr, he is a human magical boy who shares Connor's time-travel abilities. He is emotionally distant and seems to lack empathy for others, likely because he cares more about [[spoiler:keeping the universe stable]].
----



-> ''"Let me put it simply. Connor, do you know where witches come from?"''
XD is an incubator, similar to Kyubey from the original Madoka Magica series. He is described as being catlike in the fic, though officially-adopted fanart depicts him with features similar to those of an axolotl. He is cold and calculating, and takes advantage of people in bad situations.
----



'''Abilities''': Unknown \\
'''Wish''': Unknown \\



Cantrelle is the first witch encountered in ATUSILY. It has yet to described in detail, but it makes its home in a train station filled with bright colors and loud, clashing music. The author confirmed out-of-universe that this is the witch form of Wilbur Soot.

-> ''"You’re such a fucking fool."''
Elowyn is the second witch to be encountered. It appears as a creepy humanoid woman with long hair that covers its face. It wears a long trenchcoat that appears almost tree-like, and has fire abilities. It makes its home in a creepy distorted forest. The author confirmed out-of-universe that this is the witch form of Nihachu.
