History Characters / Heartbeat

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: When you consider that Han married him for his looks and as a symbol of status, as well as showed no real care for their egg, paid no actual attention to him, and kept him away from other Mogs, can you really blame him for trying to elope with someone he had mutual feelings for?

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/home-sweet-home Home Sweet Home]], [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/close-your-eyes-and-dream Close Your Eyes and Dream]] and the BossRemix, [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/no-knead-for-doubt No Knead For Doubt]]. Also has a DarkReprise BossRemix in [[spoiler: [[EarnYourBadEndings Endings C and D]] where a BrainwashedAndCrazy Klein is the final boss, [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/lunatica-paranoia Lunatica Paranoia]]]].

->''"Cassettes only, no CDs お願いしまs."''

* AmbiguouslyGay: Well, "ambiguous" in the sense of not having a love interest, but it's ''very'' heavily implied that Eve's Yin alignment means that she's a lesbian.

Nyx Ronove is a strange wanderer Eve meets in Corona Woods. It's eventually revealed that Nyx is an escaped convict from the Den, who's been going around attacking Mogwai for shards for an unknown purpose.

* HumanDisguise: She's one of the few Mogs to take advantage of her human form for not drawing attention, as most people in the Outset just assume she's a shy Snowverian due to her [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]], blending in to the point where even her old friend Klein doesn't recognize her. [[spoiler: It also breaks down almost immediately when she's actually in Snowver, as she doesn't speak Snowverian and they're able to scent out Mogs in human form easily.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/river-of-frozen-tears River of Frozen Tears]] and the BossRemix, [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/treasured-yellow-scarf-2 Treasured Yellow Scarf]].

* [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Cat Sith]]: It's noted by [=NPCs=] and her own item descriptions that "[Klein] prefers formal clothes over all else", and her clothes in human form are even a "Dapper Uniform". She used to use it as a way to pick up ladies in the past too.

* [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Cat Sith]]: It's noted by NPCs and her own item descriptions that "[Klein] prefers formal clothes over all else", and her clothes in human form are even a "Dapper Uniform". She used to use it as a way to pick up ladies in the past too.

* FictionalDisability: More a deformity, but her yellow color is very rare amongst Sahuagin, and she gets mocked for it at several points.

* WeaponOfChoice: [[ProngsOfPoseidon A harpoon gun]].

* OlderThanTheyLook: Even by Mog standards, they're old, and Ark often jokes that she's old and set in her ways, despite looking like a young woman. [[spoiler: Ironically, Nile, who has a visually more mature design than the others, is the youngest, though that's because they waited for her to reincarnate.]]

A trio of sheep Mogwai who operate the Sheepsquatch Sleeping Sack found around Solum, as well as caring for some very strange "puppies".

* LikeBrotherAndSister: They all bicker with each other a lot, but get along really well in the end.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/rustic-ranch-story Rustic Ranch Story]] which, like all Conjurers, is a remix of [[https://harmonicblend.bandcamp.com/track/a-title-screen A Title Screen]].

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Due to the pressures of being Conjurer and the recent passing of her mother, she's extremely emotionally dependent on Kon.

* ChekhovsGunman: Initially appears to be just a friendly Mogwai merchant, [[spoiler: but bonds with Patch, pacting with her off-screen, and eventually ends up contributing the Flora core shard that Eve needs and joins the party in the post-game]].

* AllThereInTheManual: The fan wiki clarifies that she's actually pacted to DJ Cache Monet, but she often goes off on her own.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-affinity
* CloudCuckolander: She's a little odd even amongst Mogs, and [[spoiler: makes Eve kidnap a Tiny Oni in the post-game before she'll hand over a shard]] because she was lonely.

* BishonenLine: Unlike most pacted mogs, she does not take on human form until a significant plot event, but after taking it she gains a hefty boost in her combat effectiveness. She can transform back using her field ability, but loses a lot of her effectiveness.

* FantasyCharacterClasses: A [[CombatMedic Battle Priest]], her Reflex abilities make her equally competent at Light-elemental attacks and healing, but most of her damage skews magical and she's a little frail.

* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: She harbors a deeply rooted guilt and shame for betraying her first Conjurer Eve Xin, and then leaving her two other pacted Mogwai to die, one of whom she was in love with, which left Eve a BrokenBird for the rest of her life. Klein even says that the day she met Eve Staccato was the first time she was ever happy in all the decades since her betrayal.]]

* [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Cat Sith]]: Her clothes in her human form are even a "Dapper Uniform" that note "[Klein] prefers formal clothes over all else". She used to use it as a way to pick up ladies in the past too.

* EasyLevelTrick: Unlike other challenges in the game which are [[BossRush marathons against many opponents]] or the TrueFinalBoss Queen Han [[spoiler: restricting party members]], he is extremely vulnerable to status moves, especially freeze from Nyx or Mott's Tiny Nyx transformation. He can also have his attack constantly lowered so his attacks aren't one-hit kills.

Pike Crocell is an off-coloured Sahuagin born up in Outset. She's a member of the Terror Trio, acting as their main informant, working alongside Wake and Skip who serve under General Yorshk.

* FictionalDisability: More a deformity, but her yellow color is unique amongst Sahuagin, and she gets mocked for it at several points.

[[/folder]]

* AcePilot: As an Isonade, piloting is part of Avi's blood, though she's pretty rusty at it at the time of the story.

* {{Seers}}: Nile can see the future to a limited extent, but she's not infallible.

An Ice Siren from the Den, who's a member of the Terror Trio.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Being attacked by Nyx and having to be saved by Wake makes her realize she doesn't want to die for someone as awful as Yorshk, and she and Wake decide to let Eve and Pike handle it.]]

The tyrannical Queen in charge of the Den.

* TakeUpMySword: Downplayed and not immediately stated, but as the first Conjurer to be born in her family since her great-grandmother who was the last Ambassador, her family legacy puts her on the path to trying to solve the problems that her great-grandmother couldn't.

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: All of her physical moves, including those gained from using Cores, are based on wrestling moves.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Though she's behind the actions of the other antagonists, she doesn't really do anything for most of the game, and is only seen at the very end. [[spoiler:There's a good reason for that: Caesar's body was severely weakened by the death of Eve Xin and the loss of his Conjurer pact, meaning that she can barely hold herself together.]]

Dawn Norteno is a traveling Conjurer Eve meets at Route 182. Two Mogwai have been looking for her, but Dawn claims not to be a Conjurer.

* CreepyGood: Is kind of unnerving to most people, and has done shady stuff in the past, but is genuinely on the side of the heroes.

* FantasyCharacterClasses: TheBard, she's the fastest party member and her Dance! skills are musically themed buffs and support moves, but she doesn't hit particularly hard.

* BigBad: The ultimate force behind Yorshk, the Terror Trio, and inciting Nyx's actions.

* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:After being abandoned by her husband Long, the egg Long had with Caesar would eventually hatch and be adopted by Han.]]

* BrattyHalfPint: Coal is pretty bratty Mog, who's young and ill-tempered.

* FireIceLightning: Water instead of Ice, but the same specific effect.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Kai was meant to be part of the Kuji Inn staff like her siblings, and Wire was supposed to inherit the family's gambling business, both they both fled the expectations, which served as a way for them to bond with Gwen, who likewise chafes at her family obligations.

* WholePlotReference: They're basically an extended reference to ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.

[[folder: Hou and Xie Wukong]]
Sisters who run a gambling business in Corona Woods. Hou sets up shop early in the game, while Xie only joins her in the post game, though their wayward brother has quit the family business and gone somewhere else.

* FlatCharacter: Hou is pretty much there to sell you tokens and that's about it. Xie gets some more characterization but isn't very substantial either.
* GreenThumb: Xie is a Flora-affinity Iwazaru.
* IceCreamKoan: Xie has a tendency to mix these in with genuinely good advice.
* MetaGuy: Xie pokes fun at some of the conventions of the game, saying they're all just data and that the card packs she gives Eve for completing sidequests don't exist until Eve finishes the quest, though in universe it's just treated as an IceCreamKoan.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: Xie is narcoleptic, and spends most of her time sleeping.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Older than Frey [[spoiler: and Ives]], but because looks much younger and shorter than them.

* [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Cat Sith]]: She's known for being particular about her appearance in both human and Mog form, and wears a formal military uniform in her human form. She used to use it as a way to pick up ladies in the past too.

* RebelliousPrincess: She's pretty rowdy for a daughter of a king and queen.

[[folder:Dawn Norteno]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dawn_sd_3.png]]
->''"Hashtag: This fish is raw! It's perfect for sashimi...!"''

Dawn Norteno is a traveling Conjurer Eve meets at Route 182. Her two Mogwai, Vice and Silk, have been trailing her to no avail until Eve helps.

[[folder: Nile Foras]]
A Shadow Afinity Cetus who claims to have been a Conjurer a long time ago. She mans the desk of the Fish Museum with her wife Ark and her friends Avi and Tate.

* BonusBoss: Can be optionally fought along with Ark and Avi during the Red-Eyed Cluster outbreak.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: A minor character in the story itself, but the final fishing quest reveals she's intimately tied into the history of Mogs and Humans on Solum.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: A Shadow affinity Mog.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: She was one of the first Conjurers hundreds of years ago, and reincarnated as a Mogwai after her death. Not only that but she and the others at the Sand Bar are working to collect fish to have a backup plan to terraform another planet if need be]].
* {{Seers}}: She can see the future to a limited extent, but doesn't see everything.

* LogicalWeakness: Is very upset to lose to Eve twice, including a solitary duel, until Kon points out that as a skilled hunter, she has very little experience fighting humans.

* TheUnfought: With a twist. Her human form is fought in several boss rushes along with other NPCs and party members, but her Mog form is never fought in any capacity, unlike other characters who are can be fought in both their Mog and human forms.

[[folder: Ven Berith]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Big Sean, Dr. Brainy, and Coach Flexo]]
A trio of Raksasha Mogwai Brothers who set up residence in the Sewers and challenge the party.

* BossRush: Flexo's challenges function as huge enemy rushes before fighting copies of the protagonist Mogwai. In the Endurance Cup, he throws almost every single enemy in the game plus every protagonist at the party in a marathon battle.
* HumanResources: [[spoiler: Brainy's treatments actually come from the essences of dead Mogs, something that even the Den thought was extreme, though how they were obtained is left unstated]]

[[folder: Ives Furcifer]]
A lonely Qilin who lives in a cottage in Cirruwa Woods that belonged to her previous Conjurer. She can alchemize DNA for Mott and also sells food to boost their stats.

* AnIcePerson: An Ice-affinity.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: Has a pretty bad crush on Quinn, viewing herself as a romantic rival to Frey. But Quinn doesn't view Ives like that, and she eventually admits defeat, though not without still being very protective]].

! Antagonists
[[folder: Wake Forneus]]
A Toxin Kraken from the Den who's pursuing Rex along a mysterious fugitive, as leader of the Terror Trio.

* TakeUpMySword: Downplayed and not immediately stated, but as the first Conjurer to be born in her family since her great-grandmother and the last Ambassador, that legacy puts her on the path to trying to solve the problems that her great-grandmother couldn't.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Her flirtatious exterior covers up some deeply rooted self-worth issues and insecurities due to being raised as the only Mog in a town that slaughters Mogwai regularly, and never being respected or appreciated by anyone other than Rain.]]

->'''Yorshk''': "You trust the humans over your own kind? Are you blind?"
->'''Kon''': "Well I do need prescription glasses."
