* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Arlecchino stamps on his head with her pointy stilettos, killing him.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Defending his operations leads to the death of a Fatui Operative working under Arlecchino. Thus, the Harbinger comes to personally avenge one of her children, freeing the children he was trafficking, exposing his crimes to the public and stealing his wealth for the purposes of supporting the newly adopted orphans.

[[folder: Euphrasie]]

[[folder: Merieux's Troupe('''Unmarked Spoilers for Lynette's Hangout Event!''')]]

Chiori's assistant and right hand man who usually takes care of the day-to-day business of the Boutique on top of being a clothes designer herself.

* CutenessProximity: Really likes melusines.

* MsFanservice: Charlotte is a very attractive young lady, boasting an outfit that shows off a lot of skin on her legs, [[SexyBacklessOutfit back]], and [[{{Sideboob}} sides]], as well as one of the few mid-sized females with noticeable JigglePhysics.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In her 2024 birthday letter to the Traveler, Charlotte explains that the other journalists from The Steambird wanted to interview her for an exclusive on her, as well as document her daily life ''for an entire year''. Charlotte immediately ran away from them and went to hide in Euphrasie's house.

* TradeYourPassionForGlory: At first Merieux genuinely wanted to write plays for the sake of art, but started to compromise his artistic integrity for money and fame, believing that he *needed* to accumulate more money and fame for the sake of his troupe.

* {{Hypocrite}}: When Lynette and the others enact their plan to put Gillain back in the leading role, he calls out Lynette for letting her fame and wealth go to her head enough to believe she can just arrogantly do what she wants without care for the consequences. As Lynette and the other retort however, he himself is a famous director who willingly decided to become a SlaveToPR at the expense of "The Lost Doll's" quality and deny Gillain her long-awaited chance at stardom for the sake of wealth.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Even outside of how his inviting Lynette to star in his play as part of a failed BatmanGambit ultimately leads to him regaining his passion for scripwriting and growing out of his SlaveToPR tendencies, him doing so can also potentially lead to Lynette helping foil an Imitation Sinthe Operation headed by a relative of the man she was sold to as a child.

[[folder:Uther '''(Unmarked Spoilers for Chiori's Story Quest!)''']]
!!Uther

Chiori's enemy in the fashion world who has made it his goal to ruin her brand.

** She's one of Furina's several bodyguards who accompany her when she goes out in public.

** She's also one of [[GodEmperor Furina's]] bodyguards. [[spoiler:Furina's encounter with Arlecchino shows that she actually isn't as powerful as she would like everyone to believe. Oddly enough, by the time Furina acquires a Vision and becomes capable of defending herself, Clorinde is no longer her bodyguard.]]

[[folder:Clervie ('''Unmarked Spoilers!''')]]
The childhood friend of Peruere. The two grew up together under the care of the former orphanage caretaker known as the "Mother".
----
* AbusiveParents: Crucabena was Clervie's biological mother, yet she treated her no differently from the other orphans, including pitting her in a fight to the death against Peruere.
* GoOutWithASmile: She holds no hate or resentment toward Peruere upon her defeat, she only smiles and thanks her.
* OnlyFriend: While Clervie got along well with the other kids, Peruere is only ever seen interacting with Clervie.
* PosthumousCharacter: Clervie died long ago in a duel with Peruere.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Clervie had pink hair and was incredibly nice to Peruere and the other kids, which makes her death at the latter's hands all the more tragic.
* SorryThatImDying: Clervie's dying words to Peruere are an apology, as well as thanks for being her friend.
[[/folder]]

* DrinkBasedCharacterization: In her "Good Morning" line, Chiori asks the Traveler if the can get her a cup of black coffee, with no milk or sugar. An excellent choice for a person who's highly independent and unafraid to speak her mind.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Chiori is famous (or infamous) for her direct attitude, pension for [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] and BrutalHonesty, and full willingness to get close to, if not outright violent with particularly difficult customers and troublesome business rivals. However, she also cares closely about those close to her and can get easily aggravated if someone threatens them, such as towards Uther for siccing bandits of Kirara in her quest, and is willing to cover the costs for her customers if they suddenly come upon money troubles, such as Laetitia when her fiancé's business fell under financial troubles that would prevent them from paying the deposit for the dress, with Chiori making her dress at the originally agreed quality regardless at a discount.

* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: She's noted to be a close friend of Navia's, having been the one to design her outfit, is able to ask personal favors for her like escorting Kirara after a bandit attack, and both are noted by Paimon [[NotSoDifferentRemark to be fairly similar in personality despite their differing demeanours.]] In gameplay, not only do them both being Geo characters gives the team access to Geo Resonance, but Chiori's "Tamoto" dolls allow her to constantly apply Geo to cause Crystalise, creating a steady supply of Crystals to charge up Navia's Skill.

!!Hotel Bouffes d'ete

* ChildProdigy: Lyney's talent at stage magic was so apparent as a child that he caught the eye of a noble who wanted to use him to further his own social standing, while Lynette herself has rejected several offers to strike out on her own. Freminet is also implied to be in his early teens at most, but he's already considered the best diver in Fontaine, renowned for his professionalism and his wealth of maritime knowledge.

* NecessaryDrawback: As explained in Character Select Forcing and Crippling Overspecialization above, Chevreuse's ability to lower enemies' Pyro and Electro resistances is a boon kept in check by only being active when Chevreuse is in a party consisting of only Pyro and Electro characters. This prevents it from being used in conjunction with certain Anemo characters who: 1) can corral enemies together, thereby keeping all the benefits of the Overloaded reaction without any of the drawbacks; and 2) can further reduce elemental resistances via the Viridescent Venerer set. It also prevents the effect from being combined with Zhongli, who can also reduce enemy resistances while providing some much needed protection.

** In a branch of Lynette's Hangout, she voices to Lyney and Lynette [[spoiler:her suspicions that the person who killed the previous head of the Lefevere family and orchestrated their downfall was Arlecchino, noting how she happened to have been in Fontaine at the time and noting only someone as elusive as her would avoid leaving any obvious evidence. She however reassures the twins she won't try making any formal accusations, due to a lack of physical proof, acknowledging that the two were victims of the head of the Lefevere family, and recognizing that said head [[AssholeVictim got what was coming to him]].]]

* SymbolMotifClothing: Three-petaled flowers are repeatedly featured in her clothing and hairpin, though its significance has yet to be elaborated on.

* WeaponSpecialization: In the 3.6 trailer, Lynette is shown wielding the Finale of the Deep(4★), which possesses an ATK Ascension stat(6-27.6%), while its "An End Sublime" passive grants the wielder both an ATK boost and a Bond of Life after using their Elemental Skill, with clearing the latter granting a further ATK boost based on the Life Bond cleared. This suits Lynette as, whether she's being used as a Damage Dealer or a SupportPartyMember, she will be using her Skill a lot, with the self-healing from her Skill allowing her to quickly clear the Bond of Life and further increase her ATK and boost her damage. The weapons use of a Bond of Life mechanic also emphasizes [[spoiler: her connection to Arlecchino, whose own kit revolves around placing a Bond of Life on herself.]]

* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Lynette, so much so that when they were kids, he tracked down the "important person" Lynette had been sold to by the aristocrat who adopted her in order to save her, though he couldn't act [[spoiler:because the Knave beat him to it]].

[[folder:Jenck ('''Unmarked Spoilers!''')]]
!!Jenck

An editor for The Steambird, and the main antagonist of the World Quest series "Questioning Melusine and Answering Machine".

!!Civilians
[[folder:Aurelie's Troupe '''(Unmarked Spoilers for Furina's Story Quest!)''']]
!!Aurelie Fumeau, Dulphy, Lauwick, Pauleau, Vilmant
A small-time theater troupe struggling to honor the memory of their founder and director, Aurelie Fumeau, a victim of Marcel/Vacher's serial murders, by bringing to the stage the final play she wrote, ''The Little Oceanid''.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In her 2024 birthday letter to the Traveler, Charlotte explains that the other journalists from The Steambird wanted to interview her for an exclusive on her. Charlotte immediately ran away from them and went to hide in Euphrasie's house.

* HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal one, but regardless it did flushed out his reputation by murdering the Melusine racists who were responsible for Carole's suicide and to establish Neuvillette's place to Fontaine as a fair and impartial judge, hoping that his rise to power would give him a chance for him and the Melusine to live a normal life without discrimination.
