->''"Sometimes, the most astonishing experiences are the ones we never expect. These tears are from joy."''

* MultipleHeadCase: The first head silently cries. The second head, which comes out of the first head's mouth, is the one that speaks to ENA in a philosophical tone.
* TearsOFJoy: Apparently the reason for their endless crying.

* {{Expy}}:
** Her design is based on the painting [[https://flaglerlive.com/wp-content/uploads/picassos-cat.jpg Picasso's Cat]].
** Her tank resembles the one from the ''[=ZoneOut=]'' video game found in the [=TempleOS=] operating system.

* ShoutOut: She re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video.

[[folder:Unnamed Rabbit Lady]]
!!"Rabbit Lady"

An as-of-yet unnamed Rabbit Lady who helps ENA find the First Act. She speaks using chiptune songs instead of a voice.

[[folder:Blue Women]]
!!"Blue Women"

* CryingARiver: The women cry so much that even with a large drain in the floor, the room is rather flooded.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The mask is even more enthusiastic than ENA's happy side, and it understands the way the people in the house have fun. However, ENA's happy side is only confused by everything she encounters. Only when she talks about it to the Therapist does she reach some kind of understanding and allow herself to emote naturally, which destroys the mask. This mirrors the neurodivergent practice of detachment and masking emotions, where one imitates certain mannerisms despite not understanding them the way allistic people would, as well as masking depression.

->''"Abysmal! Tastes like I'm in a real cosmic stew!"''

The sole inhabitant of Act V. He helps ENA to find resolution in her experiences in the house.

[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_therapist.png]]

An as-of-yet unnamed Rabbit Lady who helps ENA find the first act. She speaks using chiptune songs instead of a voice.

Blue women with their upper arms and torsos hanging out from where they're embedded in a brick wall. They preclude the path to the second act. Instead of a voice, they "speak" by projecting a film reel of lips out their ears, which is accompanied by a rhythmic clattering noise.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_rabbitlady.png]]
->''"What a stink! That is not the essence of merriness... Aren't you entertained enough?"''

An as-of-yet unnamed Rabbit Lady who helps ENA find the first act. She speaks using chiptune songs instead of a voice.

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Her paws are bare underneath her dress.
* BlackBeadEyes: Her expression temporarily shifts to this to show how unimpressed she is with ENA.
* FloatingLimbs: More like Floating Body Sections. She has visible arms and legs, but her body is cut in half vertically, separating her face and the front of her body from the back. Each half has one arm and one leg, so they're still technically detached and floating. Her neck is also detached from her shoulders.
* MadeOfBologna: Her cross-section shows that she's solid red on the inside, with strange "O"-shaped bones.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She refers to her six children(?) as ENA's "siblings" in another example of this series' [[MindScrew nonsensical dialogue]].
* RubberHoseLimbs: Her arms are animated this way.
* WhiteGloves: She wears these, which help her hands stand out against the dark hallway.

Mariya is the prismatic little entity being held by Gabo.

** The unicycle-riding person juggling Merchant's masks before he materialized is based off of the 1986 "juggler demo" for the Commodore Amiga line of computers.

* EldritchLocation: Its residence includes the Stairway Void, Mannequin Expanse, Hourglass Meadow, Desert, and Dead God Graveyard. All of these areas are distinct from each other, following little rhyme or reason, and are accessed non-linearly by passing through the Holy Code. Imagine wandering through all the old Windows screensavers and that'll basically sum up the experience.

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Mariya speaks Japanese with English subtitles.

* ShoutOut: Gabo's line "drink the blood and smoke the banana" is a nod to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjCu-pZxp4k&t=4650s the conversation with Dracula]] in ''VideoGame/SpaceFuneral''.

->'''Voiced by:''' Alejandro "Ace" Fletes
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_brickfrog.png]]
->''"Yes... My intro... it was very, very impressive... stunning..."''

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A frog shaped like a brick,]] found in the mannequin maze.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Very minor. A more sadistic side is implied when he says he'd rather not climb the Great Runas because it's fun watching the bodies fall.
* BrokenRecord: Repeats words before continuing his sentence.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Performs rapid-fire kicks to snap ENA out of a mental breakdown.
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Averted. He wheezes, stutters, and drops his tone in the middle of sentences.
* ShoutOut: Brick Frog's voice is an audible nod to [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit the Frog,]] and the frog parts of its body visually resemble [[VideoGame/VibRibbon Vibri.]]
* StealthPun: Brick Frog was named for the indentation on the side of a brick or the tool used to make it.

[[folder:Merchant]]
!!Merchant

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SrPelo
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_merchant_2.png]]
->''"Turrón!"''

A shadowy salesman made of three masks. He's selling items to commemorate the Great Runas race.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is only credited as "Merchant", after his job/role. Considering how he's only named as Merchant rather than ''The'' Merchant, like The Shepherd is, maybe HisNameReallyIsBarkeep.
* {{Foil}}: To Merci. Both their designs emphasize masks, they both have faces for hands, and they both speak a non-English language. However, the Merchant is cordial and his turrón is a helpful item, while Merci is rude and, though she does attempt to warn ENA, does nothing to actually help her.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: He speaks Spanish with Mexican slang, accompanied by English subtitles.
* LargeHam: Starts out speaking a normal conversation and then: TURRÓN!
* ShoutOut:
** He re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video.
** The unicycle-riding person juggling Merchant's masks before he materialized is based off of the 1986 "juggler demo" for the Commodore Amiga line of computers.
** His mask resembles Peruvian Waq'ollos, which are often worn to represent the Qhapaq Q'olla merchant character. Regarding his overall appearance, he seems to have taken inspiration from the play ''The Neutral Mask On The Surface Of Skin''.
** His appearance in the "New ENA Merch from Fangamer" promo resembles the turrón ads from ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''.

[[folder:Ulysses]]
!!Ulysses

->'''Voiced by:''' Edwin Tiong
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ena_ulysses.png]]
->''"The celebration is over, but it seems your greedy soul brought you here."''

A steward to the Great Runas, presumably.

* BrokenRecord: Tends to repeat phrases a few times before continuing his explanation.
* ElectronicSpeechImpediment: His voices glitch out, stutter, and are accompanied by an electronic buzz.
* EyeMotifs: Despite his eyes always being shut, as mentioned below, he has an eye theme in how his clothing buttons is designed.
* EyesAlwaysShut: His eyes are always shut, which adds to his uncanniness.
* FloatingLimbs: He has no arms, only floating hands/gloves.

** His [[VoiceOfTheLegion speech]] [[BrokenRecord patterns]] is a send-up to [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} The Master]].
** A Twitch stream confirmed that his design was based on [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} Lord Farquaad]].
** One of the images that appear in his hands is the Renaissance painting ''Inferno'' by Pieter Huys.
* SpeaksInBinary: Informs ENA that the next celebration is in 00110001 00110000 00110000 00110000 00110000[[labelnote:translation]]10,000[[/labelnote]] years.
-->'''ENA:''' [[CaptainObvious That's a lot!]]
* SuddenlyShouting: He keeps a relatively conversational tone until ENA enters the holy code, at which he gutturally yells, "Punishment is imminent!"
* UncannyValley: Ulysses is intentionally uncanny and creepy. He has a human-like, low-poly rendered face, not helped by his erratic body movement and [[ElectronicSpeechImpediment stilted, constantly shifting speech.]]
* UnmovingPlaid: His gloves. By default, they have the texture of an unmoving blue sky with clouds, although the image can change seemingly at will.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: He has at least five distinct voices that he alternates between.

[[folder:The Shepherd]]
!!The Shepherd
!!!'''Appears in:''' Temptation Stairway
->'''Voiced by:''' Emma Breezy

[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_09_01_at_33446_pm.png]]

A cat-like creature with the ability to morph into a low-poly tank who lives in a dome full of Hourglass Dogs. She apparently knows The Great Runas and gives away access to those she views as worthy of meeting the entity.

* DefrostingIceQueen: At first, she's outright hostile towards ENA, even whacking her a few times with her crook (which doesn't do much of anything). She immediately changes her tune, however, once ENA gives her the turrón.
* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: She is simply referred to as The Shepherd in the credits. Though neither she nor ENA refer to herself as such.
* {{Expy}}:
** Her design is based on the painting [[https://flaglerlive.com/wp-content/uploads/picassos-cat.jpg Picasso's Cat]].
** Her tank resembles the one from the ''[=ZoneOut=]'' video game found in the operating system [=TempleOS=].
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: She speaks in Russian with English subtitles.
* MeaningfulName: While it's not sheep that she's looking over, what she does seem to be shepherding are Hourglass Dogs.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Judging by her reaction, she seems to ''really'' like turróns.
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: She seems to have the ability to transform into a low-poly tank. Though it's not clear if she resides in the tank or if she literally becomes the tank.

''"何よそです?!"''[[labelnote:translation]]''"What was that?!"''[[/labelnote]]

Mariya is the prismatic little entity being held by Gabo.

* BilingualBonus: Anyone who can understand Japanese can tell that Mariya is being ''very'' rude. Like, even worse than her tone implies.
* FunnyAfro: Gabo wears a green afro wig.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Mariya speaks Japanese with English subtitles.
* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Gabo speaks in heavily accented English and uses nonsensical phrases.
* ShoutOut: Gabo's line "drink the blood and smoke the banana" is a nod to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjCu-pZxp4k&t=4650s the conversation with Dracula]] in ''VideoGame/SpaceFuneral''.

->''"Hey! What's the data, theta? Hey, you're pretty acute for a newbie. But now's not the time for me to go off on a tangent."''

A flying pink dolphin who lives in (or possibly even ''is'') a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Biblically-accurate angel]]. He serves as a gatekeeper on ENA's way to visit The Great Runas.

* FriendlyPlayfulDolphin: He's a floating pink dolphin and an all-around NiceGuy.
* NiceGuy: He's one of the only characters to be alarmed by ENA's mood swings, even calling off "the interview" out of concern for her mental well-being.
* PungeonMaster: Literally his first line (quote above) is him making several math-related puns.
* VocalDissonance: He's a cute pink dolphin but has the voice of a TotallyRadical SurferDude.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: While he can't transform into people or other animals, he can morph and stretch his body into amorphous shapes at his own free will.

** His appearance in the "new ENA merch from Fangamer" commercial resembles the turrón ads from ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''.

* ShoutOut: His [[VoiceOfTheLegion speech]] [[BrokenRecord patterns]] is a send-up to [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} The Master]].

* VoiceOfTheLegion: He has at least three or four distinct voices that he alternates between.

* {{Expy}}: Her design is based on the painting [[https://flaglerlive.com/wp-content/uploads/picassos-cat.jpg Picasso's Cat]].

* GratuitousForeignLanguage: He speaks Spanish with English subtitles.

* ShoutOut: Re-enacts a part of Music/TalkingHeads' Music/OnceInALifeTime music video.

->'''Voiced by:''' Chobi

* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Her face resembles a ''kaksi'' mask, which is used in traditional Korean theatre. Since her face never moves, she might be wearing a mask, but maybe her face is just like that.

* FloatingLimbs: More like Floating Body Sections. She has visible arms and legs, but her body is cut in half vertically, separating her face and the front of her body from the back. Each half has one arm and one leg, so they're still technically detached and floating.
