However, the second and third games subvert this when all the dogs killed in the first game come back as vengeful zombies that swarm Coco's house and Coco has to find a way to appease them and she readily admits that it's her entire fault that she and her friends are in this situation.

! Characters Introduced in Love at Furst Bite
[[folder:Olive Higgins]]
!! Olive Higgins
->''"But I guess making people smile is what makes living worthwhile!"''
The PlayerCharacter of the first two games. A friendly but nervous Mutt who hid in the closet to avoid being killed. After coming to terms with their own demise, they head out into the blood-soaked Hachiko High School to find a special someone they can spend the rest of their short life with, so they can turn it into the [[TitleDrop perfect apocalypse]].
----
* ABirthdayNotABreak: The second game's ZombieApocalypse strikes right as Olive is about to celebrate their birthday.
* AbsurdPhobia: Is scared the sound of a flushing toilet, because they're too loud.
* AllLovingHero: Olive is an indefatigably upbeat and idealistic individual who's always ready to give others a second chance, even if they have a long history of trying to kill them.
* ArtShift: Their eyes are noticeably larger in the first game compared to the next two.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Olive doesn't like violence and can't bring themself to hate anyone, they are willing to fight back if it means their life, or their friend's lives. Olive's punches are a soft as pillows, but it's the thought that counts!
* DeathSeeker: Comes to terms with their own demise and, ready to die, tries to find someone to spend their final moments with. They drop it pretty quickly.
* FriendlessBackground: Some of Olive's dialogue implies that they had no friends before the start of the first game.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Continually trusts and insists that Patches is a "good boy", no matter how many times Patches tries to kill them or their friends. It pays off in the ending where he makes a HeelFaceTurn.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Most of the "bad" dialogue options and choices in the second game are this, like [[AfraidOfBlood eating raw, bloody meat in front of Sparky]], [[SympathyForTheDevil pitying Patches]] after Angel tells them why Patches is after them, or [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asking Patches if Angel broke his heart]].
* MoralityChain: Is this to Patches in the third game. If you try to leave the school, Patches will remember Olive's earlier request for him to not leave and stay put.
* PungeonMaster: Makes a lot of animal-themed puns, usually when nervous.
* SignificantBirthDate: Of the ironic sort. The cheerful and nonthreatening Olive was born on October 31, Halloween.
* SaveTheVillain: Olive asks Angel not to kill Patches near the end of the first game, and they also promise to save Patches from Purgatory near the end of the second.
* SpeechImpediment: Olive has a reasonably pronounced stutter. In the first game, it's easy to mistake it as due to fear, but in one possible scene where Brownie lampshades it as such, Olive admits that they've just always stuttered, and the ending of the second game and entirety of the third confirm that it really is just how they talk, even when there's nothing to be afraid of.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Pities Patches in the second game, while he's trying to kill Olive and all their friends, and insists that he's actually a good boy. In the bad ending where Patches heals everyone after committing murder, where not even Olive can forgive Patches anymore, they're more disappointed in Patches than hateful of him.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Befitting a visual novel/choose your own adventure protagonist, there's a lot of ghoulish ways for Olive to go out. In the first game alone, Olive can die to stabbing, strangulation, being torn apart by Cat Demons, [[OffWithHisHead having their head eaten or torn off]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers self-inflicted death by chocolate]]. The second game adds such fates as [[DevouredByTheHorde being eaten by a horde of zombies]], [[GlasgowGrin having their head torn in half at the jaw]], every bone in their body being snapped in half, [[EyeScream their eyes being popped out out of their head with magic]] [[ColdBloodedTorture or getting tortured to death off-screen]], [[AndIMustScream in both cases paralyzed but still conscious]], [[TorsoWithAView getting a hole blasted in their chest via magic wand]], [[ManOnFire being burned alive]], and more stabbing.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bacon treats. Specifically the kind that looks like plastic.
* {{Transgender}}: Is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: While most of the Affection-lowering dialogue and choices are either this or InnocentlyInsensitive or just saying/doing the wrong thing, the option near the end of the first game to betray Angel for Patches has no excuse. [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment The prize for doing this]] is an Angel-possessed-Patches [[OffWithHisHead literally biting Olive's head off]], [[WhatTheHellHero and some narration calling you out]].

[[folder:Brownie Pembroke]]
!! Brownie Pembroke
->''"It's us the HACHIKO HIGHSCHOOL GUARDIANS!"''
A happy little Corgi who hid in a bathroom stall.
----
* AGoodWayToDie: Dies happily if Olive and her manage to find some chocolate, even though it's painful and she's vomiting blood.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Would rather die eating chocolate than be killed by Cat Demons.
* BigEater: Survived in the bathroom for so long due to carrying a lot of snacks in her bag, doesn't hesitate to eat the treats belonging to the dead dogs in the gym, and decides that if she's going to die anyway, she should die eating chocolate. If you involve her in Sparky's plan to stop the Cat Demons and escape, she's initially saddened by the prospect of not getting to eat chocolate until she's an old dog, but is consoled by all the food she'll get to eat in the meantime. This carries over to the next two games, where she can sneak a biscuit from Olive's birthday cake, and is eager to eat the cake she and Patches make in Home Economics.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Pukes blood if she eats chocolate, to fatal effect.
* BlushSticker
* DeathSeeker: Almost immediately decides to eat chocolate, a course of action she knows is fatal. She drops this attitude if you get her in on Sparky's plan to defeat the Cat Demons and escape.
* KilledOffscreen: Brownie will die if you let her leave the bathroom by herself. Her body is found in the cafeteria, sliced apart. The Cat Demons got to her before she could find any chocolate.
* InterspeciesRomance: Has a crush on Coco, a cat.
* IronicName / MeaningfulName: Is named after a type of chocolate, a food that she loves, but it'll kill her if she eats it. She lampshades it in the first game.
->'''Brownie''': My name's Brownie! But NOT because I'm hiding in the bathroom, my parents just love taunting me with the things I can't have.
* {{Irony}}: In the first game, Brownie wants to eat chocolate so she can die on her own terms. In the third game, Brownie can finally have her wish granted, but it's due to Patches poisoning her, and he kills her shortly afterwards.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be pretty rude, snarky, and in her words, kind of a bitch, but she treats Olive well and is willing to admit when she's wrong.
* RecurringElement: Bathrooms, and possibly dying in them.
** In the first game, you find her in the bathroom, hiding in one of the stalls. If you meet Patches first and bring him there, it results in both you and Brownie being stabbed to death.
** In the second game, you find her in the Grimalkin bathroom, trying to avoid Sparky. One of the game's bad endings has Brownie drag Olive into the bathroom to escape Patches and his horde of zombies, where they're soon killed by the latter.
** The third game breaks tradition, with everyone starting in Coco and Angel's living room. However, if you poison Brownie's cake and let her eat it, she runs to the bathroom ([[CallBack the same one from the first game]]), where Patches murders her.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Zig-zagged. In her Hachiko High School uniform she's a BarefootCartoonAnimal, just like everybody else. But in the second game (and first chapter of the third game) when she's in her casual clothes, she wears socks. But they either don't cover her feet, or they have a paw-print design on the bottom.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate.

[[folder:Sparky Fritz]]
!! Sparky Fritz
->''"Don't lose hope! With the three of us working together we can stop this!"''
A tall and sporty Husky found in the gym.
----
* AfraidOfBlood: Develops an aversion to blood after the events of the first game. Eating the bloody meat in the fridge will lower his Affection as a result.
* BatterUp: Murders Patches with a baseball bat if you hit him in the face with a sabotaged baseball.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sparky's agreeable and polite, but he's absurdly strong, and willing to put that muscle to use when defending himself and his friends. Additionally, Sparky can be brutal in retaliation to those who do him and his loved ones harm. After Ginger possesses Sparky, breaking Brownie's leg and Angel's arm, he steals Coco's wand and attempts to send her to Inferno. And if you hit Sparky in the face with a baseball lined with tacks, he outright murders Patches.
* DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by Ginger in the second game.
* EyeScream: One of the third game's bad endings starts with Patches throwing a baseball lined with tacks at Sparky's head, hitting him in the eye.
* FightingFromTheInside: One of the bad endings from the second game has Sparky fight off Ginger's DemonicPossession long enough to [[OffWithHisHead rip Patches' head off with one hand]]... But it doesn't last long, and Ginger quickly asserts dominance and snaps Olive's neck.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Is armed with a hockey stick in the first game.
* KilledOffscreen: Sparky will die if you let him leave the gym by himself, or let him go into the woods by himself. In the former case, you find his body in the basement, sans an eye and an arm. In the latter, you find him tied to the cellar door with magical barbed wire, dissected but still alive. Curiously, meeting Patches first and bringing him to the gym also results in Sparky being found dead.
* LightningBruiser: The second game shows that he's this. Unfortunately, it's mostly displayed while he's possessed by Ginger. He can dash from one end of the room to another in a second, kick and destroy a chair thrown at his legs while grappling someone else, snap necks, tear off Patches' head, and break Angel's arm one-handed, as well as tear apart Olive's jaw and snap all the bones in their arms and legs in half with his bare hands.
* LovableJock: Is athletic, captain of the Sports Team, and a really nice guy.
* MismatchedEyes: His left eye is orange, and his right eye is blue.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite Sparky being a LovableJock [[CarryABigStick armed with a hockey stick]] and Patches being a bookworm, any confrontation between the two results in Sparky's death. Averted in the second game, where he's a LightningBruiser.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Feels incredibly guilty about injuring Brownie and Angel, even though he was possessed when he did it. The third game shows that he also feels guilty over stealing Coco's wand and almost sending Ginger to Inferno.
* TapOnTheHead: Averted. Trying to knock him out with a frying pan or toilet lid will crack his skull open, killing him.
* TheBigGuy: Is the tallest member of the main cast, and strong too.
* TheInsomniac: Has been sleepwalking and saying disturbing things in his sleep in between the first and second game as a result of Ginger's attempts to possess him. To make sure he doesn't do anything bad, he spent the three days before the second game sleepless.
* TheLeader: Not only is he the captain of the Sports Team, but he takes charge in the first game, creating the plan to break the pipes in the basement and leading Olive and Brownie there.
* TranquilFury: Responds to Patches hitting him in the face with a spiked baseball by calmly standing up, revealing that "Angel" is actually a serial killer in a cat's body, and murdering Patches with a baseball bat.

* AllForNothing: In the worst ending for the third game, Patches succeeds in getting his body back and killing everybody... Only to die a week later and be trapped in Inferno, forever.
* BigBad: Of the first and second game. Whether he's this for the third depends on the player's choices.
* CardCarryingVillain: He's an unrepentant murderer and sadist, and practically brags about it sometimes. Furthermore, according to Luna, he was like this ''before'' actually becoming a murderer.
* CatchPhrase: "Hello puppy".
** BorrowedCatchphrase: Patches appropriated it from an in-universe cartoon of the same name, as dialogue in the first game and an examinable item in the third game reveal.
** MadLibsCatchphrase: Uses "Hello puppies" if Olive is with a friend, and "Hello kitten" to address cats.
* ClosetGeek: Examining the Hello Puppy doll in the third game has Patches recognize it, and then deny being a fan, even though nobody's around to suspect him of being such.
* DeadpanSnarker: Heavily in the third game, where at least half of his dialogue is some manner of snark.
* DemonicPossession: Has his body taken over by Angel at the end of the first game, and opens up the second game by possessing Angel's corpse.
* DraggedOffToHell: The worst ending to the third game has Patches chained in Inferno by Bapawmet, where no amount of magic will ever be able to free him. He was also sent to Inferno when Angel possessed his body in the first game.
* EasilyForgiven: Zig-zagged. Olive can forgive Patches for all he's done and rescue him from Purgatory. Olive's friends, however, do not forgive Patches, least of all Angel, and only bring him back under the condition that he wears a magic collar and leash to keep him from doing bad things. They only forgive him properly when he shows that he's changed.
** Subverted in the third game if you have Patches choose to bring everyone back to life after having killed at least one other character. The killed-off character(s) will show up and tell everyone what Patches did to them, whereupon even Olive will agree that Patches resurrecting them does not make up for him having killed someone who did him no harm yet again even after being given a second chance by them, and they let Coco kill Patches.
* EscapedFromHell: Ended up in Inferno after the first game, but escaped with Ginger by using her powers.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: "Joked" to Angel that he'd murder him if he ever left him, and actually did when Angel got creeped out and broke up with him. He also exhibits this throughout the third game, like coyly suggesting to [[AnArmAndALeg Holly]] that ''someone'' might have been going around dismembering corpses, making a lot of puns and wordplay around murder and carnage, and other macabre things.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears one in the third game (and at the end of the second) due to Angel's corpse missing an eye.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps his ovular, grey eyes when possessing Angel's body.
* EyeScream: Fond of inflicting these. Angel's ghost and body is missing his right eye, and you can find it in a jar in Patches' locker in the third game. One of the bad endings from the second game has Patches pop a still-living Olive's eyes out, and in the third game it's possible to throw a baseball lined with tacks at Sparky's face, destroying his left eye.
** Ironically, he can suffer this himself. Bringing Sparky to the library has him fight with Patches, who drops his knife. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Olive can then pick it up and slash out Patches' right eye]]. In the third game, he's missing his eye from the start due to possessing Angel's corpse, but one of the bad endings of the third game has Coco destroy his remaining eye if you have her dispel his collar after Mittens already did so.
* FalseFriend: Patches is very friendly to Olive in the first game, and tries to be on good terms with them, even after Brownie insults him or Olive chooses dialogue options that displease him. It's all an act though, and Patches will ''always'' end up betraying you if you trust or befriend him.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Angel possesses Patches' body in the first game, and Patches possesses Angel's in the second. The third game focuses the most heavily on this, with Angel and Patches having to pretend to be each other at school as explaining to others about how they ended up in each other's bodies would not end well.
* HeelFaceTurn: Can pull this in the third game by giving up on his quest for revenge and using Bapawmet's power to heal everybody.
* HeelRealization: Can reflect on how Angel doesn't love him and how he needs to get over him if you examine all the mementos in his locker, and can do so again during his conversation with Angel in the hallway.
* IfICantHaveYou: Used almost word-for-word when Patches reflects on his failed relationship with Angel.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Depending on your choices in the third game, you can have Patches bond with the other characters, have a HeelRealization about his past misdeeds, and admit to Ginger that he wants to change for the better like she did... And then have him choose to order Bapawmet to kill everyone anyway.
* InterspeciesRomance: Patches, a dog, used to be in a relationship with Angel, a cat.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even if you don't kill anyone and take all the Affection-raising dialogue options in the first game, Patches is still condescending, snarky, rude, and does bad things like stealing the ingredients for the Apocalypse, telling Coco that Brownie has a crush on her against Brownie's wishes, and not opening Holly's book after giving it to her. Elevates to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold after the HeelFaceTurn.
* KnifeNut: Knives are Patches's choice of weapon in all three games.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Patches was already pretty unstable even before he fell in love with Angel, but the latter breaking up with him was what caused him to snap and turn to murder as retaliation.
* PungeonMaster: Shows shades of this in the third game, almost always centered around killing and violence.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after his HeelFaceTurn, Patches is still snarky and somewhat dark.
* RestrainingBolt: Is outfitted with a magic collar at the end of the second game that prevents him from doing evil deeds. Removing it is one of the first things Patches focuses on in the third game, and it's removed at the end of first period.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The second game has Patches's spirit come back to wreak bloody revenge on everyone he perceives as having wronged him, which is basically everyone else in the cast. The third game can also potentially play out like this.
* StalkerShrine: His locker, which contains a picture of Angel under a tree, Angel's break-up letter, a letter Patches sent after that, a lock of Angel's fur, a photo reel, [[CreepySouvenir Angel's pickled eye in a jar]], and the knife Patches used to kill him.
* StalkerWithACrush: In the third game, Patches has clearly not fully gotten over Angel and can choose to stare at Angel multiple times in Literature class until Angel gets creeped out enough to leave class to get away from him, whereupon Patches can follow him and attack him... Or instead accept that he shouldn't have killed Angel for breaking up with him and that he needs to move on from him.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: If you encountered Patches before bringing Sparky and Brownie down to the basement, then during the walk to the classroom, Brownie suspects that Patches is stalking them down the halls. You need to weave in and out of classrooms to avoid him, or he'll catch up and murder everybody. [[SchmuckBait Of course, you could choose to trust that Patches isn't following you for any malicious reason...]]
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Occurs multiple times throughout the series. Agreeing to help Patches look for a cat inevitably leads to him murdering you and at least one other person, choosing to trust that Patches isn't stalking you down the halls has him murder Olive and frame it as a suicide, and Patches can repay Olive's rescuing him from eternal damnation in Purgatory (and Coco giving him a chance to redeem himself by dispelling his collar) by murdering them and all their friends. [[LoveRedeems Subverted if you instead]] [[HeelFaceTurn choose to change and heal everybody]].
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Has the option to indulge in this multiple times throughout the third game, from insults and mockery to mutilation and murder. [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment Of course, go too far and you may be murdered for your troubles]].
* VillainProtagonist: The BigBad of the first two games, and the player character of the third.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to discuss Patches without revealing that he's the BigBad of the first two games, and revealing that he's the PlayerCharacter of the third game spoils the ending of the second game.

[[folder:Coco Grimalkin]]
!! Coco Grimalkin
->''"All you dogs are guilty until we find the real killer!"''
A Bombay cat from Kemono Woods Private School, and Angel's older sister. She's the cause of the death and destruction in Hachiko High School, as she's seeking to avenge her little brother.
----
* TheAtoner: While she's EasilyForgiven in the first game for killing one thousand innocent dogs in the search for her brother's killer, she feels guilty over it in the second game, and accepts responsibility for it. This trope is most evident in the third game, where asks Mitt and Whisk to revive all the dogs, organizes the school event so they'll change their minds on dogs, and can share a scene with Patches where she talks about how she wants to change.
* BigSisterInstinct: Was protective of her little brother in life, and after he was murdered, she went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* CatsAreMagic: Is a talented Witch from a long family of magical felines.
* EasilyForgiven: In the first game, Coco suffers zero consequences for having killed almost everyone in Olive's school, none of whom were her brother's killer who she specifically wanted revenge on, and Olive, Brownie, and Sparky are all shown to have happily befriended her in the canon ending's closing image. However, the second and third games subvert this when all the dogs killed in the first game come back as vengeful zombies that swarm Coco's house and Coco has to find a way to appease them and she readily admits that it's her entire fault that she and her friends are in this situation.
** It's also played straight in the third game. In the Golden Ending, the dogs' reaction to her long story of her being responsible for most of their deaths and how Patches and Angel ended-up body-swapped is just to get bored before the end and start talking with each other, and there's no signs of them holding a grudge in the brief Playable Epilogue.
* FantasticRacism: Has a grudge against dogs, due to one murdering her brother, and doesn't feel bad at all about the innocent lives lost in her pursuit of Angel's killer. She drops this at the end of the first game.
* HeelFaceTurn: Befriends Olive and the gang in the first game's GoldenEnding.
* InterspeciesRomance: Has a crush on Brownie, a dog.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not only did she kill almost every student in Hachiko High School, but she's pretty rude and arrogant. However, she's very protective of her younger brother, overcomes her prejudices and becomes friends with Olive, Brownie, and Sparky, and attempts to make things right by bringing the dogs she killed back to life.
* KilledOffscreen: If you have no or negative affection with Coco and enact her plan in the second game, she'll die running away from the zombies and be found almost dead, under the tree. Conversely, if you have positive affection, she'll be the only survivor of the attack.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Scours Hachiko High School, killing one thousand innocent dogs, so she could avenge her little brother.
* SummonMagic: Summons three Cat Demons and Angel's ghost so they can hunt down Patches.
* WitchClassic: Has a magic wand, brews potions, uses a pentagram, and even wears a black robe and witch hat. Downplayed in the next two games, where she dresses normally.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Angel Grimalkin]]
!! Angel Grimalkin
->''"... I'm uh, not a demon... I'm actually a ghost..."''
A White Siberian cat, and Coco's little brother, who was killed before the events of the first game.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Angel is normally as sweet as his name implies, but he has a huge (and extremely understandable) grudge against Patches. The third game has a possible scene where he gives Patches a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and in the ending he attempts to strangle Patches when he believes that he's stolen his body again.
** Angel is also quite deadly. Every death at Angel's paws in the first game has him either eating Olive's head, or tearing it off of them. In the second game, there's a scene where he manages to get his hands on Coco's wand, and [[TorsoWithAView blasts a hole in Sparky's chest (and Olive's by accident)]]. And in the third game, attacking Angel after talking with him for a bit has him snapping Patches' head off.
* DemonicPossession: Possesses Patches' body at the end of the first game, and inhabits it all the way until the end of the third game.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps his triangular, yellow eyes when possessing Patches' body. [[SlasherSmile He also keeps his sharp teeth]].
* EyeScream: His right eye is missing from his body, and from his ghost.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Angel possesses Patches' body in the first game, and Patches possesses Angel's in the second. The third game focuses the most heavily on this, with Angel and Patches having to pretend to be each other at school as explaining to others about how they ended up in each other's bodies would not end well.
* HandHidingSleeves: His Kemono Woods Private School uniform has long sleeves, as seen when he's a ghost, and on his school ID card. It's also seen with his sweater in the third game's GoldenEnding screen.
* HeelFaceTurn: Like Coco, he joins Olive and their friends at the end of the first game.
* InterspeciesRomance: Angel, a cat, used to be in a relationship with Patches, a dog.
* MuggleBornOfMages: Is from the same family of magical cats as his sister, Coco, but displays no interest in or ability with magic through the entire franchise.
* OffWithHisHead: Is fond of inflicting these. Every death caused by Angel in the first game has them either eating Olive's head, or tearing it off their shoulders, complete with spine. In the third game, attacking Angel after talking with him has him shove Patches' head in a locker and snap it off.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes one right before attacking in the first game. While it's not as present in the next two games, Angel also gives a sharp smile when mentioning how the pots and pans in his kitchen are poisoned.
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[KillItWithWater Is weak to water while a ghost]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Cat Demons]]
!! Cat Demons
Three demons Coco summons while hunting down her brother's killer.
----
* EyeScream: The two demons in the halls are missing an eye. Or maybe they're just winking.
* KillItWithWater: [[WeaksauceWeakness Their only weakness]]. They ''are'' cats.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Just three demons managed to kill one thousand dogs.
* RandomEncounter: While moving from one location to another, Olive (and anyone they're travelling with) can run into a demon in the halls. Depending on what ghost it is, you either have to run past it, or duck under it, while weaving in and out of classrooms will let you avoid either.
* SlasherSmile: All three demons sport these.

[[folder:Ginger Claret]]
!! Ginger Claret
->''"I love a good romance."''
A ghostly Bloodhound who used her magical abilities to let her and Patches escape Inferno, as well as the one who raised the horde of zombies.
----
* BarrierMaiden: A downplayed example in the third game. Ginger's magical stitches are keeping the bodies of Patches and the zombie dogs together until Mittens revives them. Killing her loosens the stitches, but Patches and the others are able to last until the assembly.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Had her head slowly cut in half by a Cat Demon's claws.
* DemonicPossession: Takes control of Sparky's body in the second game after several days of wearing him down.
* DraggedOffToHell: Sparky tries to do this after she possesses him, and he succeeds if you don't stop him.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears as a corpse in the first game (the one in the bathroom stall), but isn't given a name or character until the second.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps her red eyes while possessing Sparky's body.
* HeelFaceTurn: Befriends Olive and turns against Patches near the end of the second game.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Grew attached to Patches, who took advantage of her powers to revive himself, and raise the zombies. She gets over him enough to turn against him near the end of the game.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When possessing Sparky. After her HeelFaceTurn, it's a lot more benevolent, but it comes back with a vengeance if Patches refuses to change in the third game.
* ResurrectTheVillain: Uses her magical abilities to bust Patches out of Inferno.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Zombies]]
!! Zombies
->''"YOoOoOoUu! YOoUu WILL PAaY FUuR WHAaT YOoUu'VE DOoNE!!"''
%%Why is it creating links stop doing that.
The undead bodies of the one thousand dead dogs from the first game, who rose to seek revenge on the person who killed them.
----
* ActuallyFourMooks: Inverted with the talksprites. Even if there's only one zombie talking or appearing, their sprite will depict a horde of generic zombies.
* DevouredByTheHorde: Inflicts this fate on Olive and their friends in the various bad endings.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Downplayed. If they corner Olive and the gang or catch them off-guard, they ''will'' tear them to bits. That aside, they're quite laughable, whacking their heads into walls and taking forever to navigate a simple iron gate, as well as taking a while to agree on why they're attacking Grimalkin Estate.
* TastesLikeFriendship: They stop trying to kill Olive and their friends if Olive feeds them Angel's meat.
* ZombieApocalypse: Composes a small one localized in Kemono Woods, specifically Grimalkin Estate.

! Characters Introduced in Patches' Infurno
[[folder:Whiskers Wichien]]
!! Whiskers Wichien
->''"I'm Whiskers Wichien, Vice President of the Elite Magic Club. You can call me Whisk though!"''
A Siamese cat from Kemono Woods Private School, Mitten's brother, and the Vice President of the Elite Magic Club.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to Angel, and Patches by extension.
* CatsAreMagic: Is Vice President of the Elite Magic Club, and is from the Wichien family of magical felines. Subverted, as he can't actually use magic.
* FantasticRacism: Hates dogs, only gets on-board with Coco's plan to revive the zombies because they won't wander around Kemono Woods, and confides in Patches that he and Mitt only agreed to the communal school day so they could see the dogs make fools of themself. He also blames his ancestors for mixing with dogs and tells Mittens that he kind of hates them for it. Whisk drops this attitude near the end of the game.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Has the same hair color and similar clothing to his nonbinary sibling Mittens.
* InSeriesNickname: Whisk.
* InterspeciesRomance: It's implied that he developed a crush on Patches near the end of the game.
* {{Irony}}: He hates dogs, but he spends all of Home Economics flirting with "Angel", who is actually a dog in a cat's body. Patches even lampshades it.
->'''Whiskers''': Thanks so much for helping me out, Angel. It is soooo much nicer working with another cat than a dog. Dogs honestly scare the hell out of me.
->'''Patches''': Yeah, they suck don't they? Would be a shame if you were somehow swindled into having a dog as a partner, hmm?
* MuggleBornOfMages: Has no magical abilities to speak of, despite being from a family of witches. After reading the Claret Family Grimoire, he speculates it might be due to having dog ancestry.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mittens Wichien]]
!! Mittens Wichien
->''"Okay. I'll heal them."''
A Siamese cat from Kemono Woods Private School, Whisker's sibling, and the President of the Elite Magic Club. They're the only one capable of reviving all the zombie dogs.
----
* CatsAreMagic: Is President of the Elite Magic Club, and is from the Wichien family of magical felines.
* FantasticRacism: Hates dogs, like Whisk, but less overt and more condescendingly. They drop this attitude near the end of the game, not only because the day turned out well, but due to finding out that the Wichien's magical heritage is partly because of the canine Clarets. They state that they had a "Dog Complex".
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Has the same hair color and similar clothing to their brother Whiskers.
* InSeriesNickname: Mitt.
* LivingLieDetector: Mitt always knows when Patches is being dishonest, and it almost always lowers affection with them.
* SummonMagic: Knows the ritual to summon Bapawmet, and does so before the game starts as a demonstration of their powers.
* {{Transgender}}: Is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

[[folder:Felix Munch]]
!! Felix Munch
->''"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! D-D-D-DOG!!"''
A perpetually nervous cat from Kemono Woods Private School, and a member of the Elite Magic Club.
----
* CatsAreMagic: Is a member of the Elite Magic Club, and is always seen with his wand in-hand.
* FantasticRacism: Is also not a fan of dogs, but unlike Whisk and Mitt, it seems to be more fear than hatred. He's in the middle of explaining that cats are taught from a young age that dogs have a "switch" inside them when Patches [[CooldownHug interrupts him by shoving Olive onto him]].
* MismatchedEyes: Downplayed, but his left eye is light green, while his right eye is dark green.
* NervousWreck: Stutters heavily, looks nervous in his world sprite, and downright terrified in most of his talk sprites. Being afraid of dogs in the middle of an all-dogs school doesn't help at all.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: Stutters heavily when trying to say "kill", and swaps it out for a different word.
* SpeechImpediment: Stutters, but much more severely than Olive.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fish eyes.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Translates the Claret Family Grimoire for Patches, which allows him to later take his body back from Angel and summon Bapawmet. He also trades Patches his wand, one of the ingredients Patches need to start the apocalypse, for a can of dog food.

[[folder:Doug Pugg]]
!! Doug Pugg
->''"Nah I'm just lazy as heck."''
A zombie Pug with an exposed brain, and a member of Hachiko High School's Literature Club.
----
* BigEater: If you bake his and Whisk's cake, then give it to Doug, he immediately starts eating it, even though they're supposed to turn it in for a grade.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His dead body can be found in the hallway in the first game's HD remake.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being incredibly lazy, he's a member of the Literature Club.
* LazyBum: Shamelessly admits to being too lazy to make a cake with Whisk when Patches asks him why he doesn't do it himself.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's just as functional as the other zombie dogs, but he uses his exposed brain to pretend that he's unintelligent so he doesn't have to do work.
* SpeciesSurname
* TheSlacker: Like Whisk, he doesn't want to make a cake for Home Economics. But where Whisk is coming from a place of FantasticRacism, Doug just can't be bothered.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Gives Patches chocolate in exchange for baking his cake, unaware that he intends to use it to murder Brownie.

[[folder:Luna Puddleton]]
!! Luna Puddleton
->''"Routine keeps the mind sharp."''
The President of Hachiko High School's Literature Club.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Her left arm was torn off, but it's held together with Ginger's magic. Her left leg, however, is missing entirely. She gets it back if Patches heals her.
* CovertPervert: Among the other items in her banned book collection, Holly mentions "cat-girl comics", that Luna was giggling to herself as she hid them, and that she begged Holly not to tell anyone about them.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Her dead body can be found in the library in the first game's HD remake.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: An odd example. If Patches talks to her about himself, then she'll tell "Angel" that she thinks Patches is lying about being "a two-faced egomaniacal felinophile", and is actually "a kind, misunderstood and philosophic felinophile". It's an unambiguous compliment, but considering she's talking about Angel-in-Patches'-body to Patches-in-Angel's-body, it's this, with Patches concluding that people like Angel-as-Patches more than Patches-as-Patches.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Holly Melita]]
!! Holly Melita
->''"What? Don't know how to mind your own business?"''
A member of Hachiko High School's Literature Club.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: Is missing both of her arms. Patches implies that it wasn't the Cat Demons who torn them off, it was ''him''. She gets them back if Patches heals her.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Her dead body can be found in the library in the first game's HD remake.
* GodivaHair: Has a weird hybrid of this and non-GoryDiscretionShot going on. She has expansive white hair that surrounds her like a cloak, serving not to cover nudity but the fact that she has bloody stumps instead of arms, except for a few times her portrait reveals them, usually to underscore a statement.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Unlike everyone else who either doesn't acknowledge, gets upset by, or tries to brush off Patches' insults, Holly gives as good as she gets.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Tells Patches where the banned books in the library are hidden, which allows him to find the Claret Family Grimoire.

!! Tigger Sugden
->''"If you wanna do today right, y'all gotta let me show off my... ATHLETIC PURRROWESS!!"''
An athletic Kemono Woods Private School student, who may or may not be a tiger.
----
* BadassNormal: She's one of the few Kemono Woods Private School student who displays zero magical interest (like Angel) or aptitude (like Whisk), but she more than makes up for it by being big and strong.
* DumbJock: She's not exactly dumb, but her not letting Patches steal Mitt's crystal ball while only commenting that it would make a good basketball, not knowing whether she's a cat or a tiger when asked, and having a one-track mind related to sports is pretty suspect.
* LovableJock: She's pretty chipper, and encourages Patches and Holly in their respective sports-related endeavors.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Basically watches Patches steal Mitt's crystal ball (one of the ingredients to the apocalypse) and doesn't say anything, as well as potentially assisting Patches' distraction so he can steal Ginger's fur.
* ViewerSpeciesConfusion: In-universe example. She's with the other cats, so she's probably a Toyger, but she's rather big. Patches can ask if she's a tiger, and as it turns out, she doesn't know either.

* BathroomStallGraffiti: "[[FiveFiveFive 555]]-[[LOL69 6969]] Rover <3" is found written on the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom. It's so he can meet people to play sports with.
* DumbJock: He's pretty oblivious, not only failing to understand the implications of leaving your name and phone number on a bathroom wall, but not picking up that Patches has malevolent intentions for his box of tacks.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The first we see of Rover is BathroomStallGraffiti bearing his name and phone number in the first name. His dead body is also visible in the gym in the first game's HD remake.
* LovableJock: Rover is excitable, enthusiastic, and really friendly.
* ThePrankster: Implied. The box of tacks Patches can borrow is labelled "for pranks".
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Can gives Patches a box of tacks, which will lead to Sparky getting an injured hand at best, or missing an eye at worst.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: But they can just as easily reduce them all to pieces.
* PhysicalGod: Is referred to as a god in the intro.
* SummonMagic: Can be summoned with a skull, a crystal ball, and a magic wand. Only the Wichiens know this spell, but it turns out the Clarets knew too, and Patches learns it from their Grimoire.

! Characters Introduced in Love at Furst Bite
[[folder:Olive Higgins]]
!! Olive Higgins
->''"But I guess making people smile is what makes living worthwhile!"''
The PlayerCharacter of the first two games. A friendly but nervous Mutt who hid in the closet to avoid being killed. After coming to terms with their own demise, they head out into the blood-soaked Hachiko High School to find a special someone they can spend the rest of their short life with, so they can turn it into the [[TitleDrop perfect apocalypse]].
----
* ABirthdayNotABreak: The second game's ZombieApocalypse strikes right as Olive is about to celebrate their birthday.
* AbsurdPhobia: Is scared the sound of a flushing toilet, because they're too loud.
* AllLovingHero: Olive is an indefatigably upbeat and idealistic individual who's always ready to give others a second chance, even if they have a long history of trying to kill them.
* ArtShift: Their eyes are noticeably larger in the first game compared to the next two.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Olive doesn't like violence and can't bring themself to hate anyone, they are willing to fight back if it means their life, or their friend's lives. Olive's punches are a soft as pillows, but it's the thought that counts!
* DeathSeeker: Comes to terms with their own demise and, ready to die, tries to find someone to spend their final moments with. They drop it pretty quickly.
* FriendlessBackground: Some of Olive's dialogue implies that they had no friends before the start of the first game.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Continually trusts and insists that Patches is a "good boy", no matter how many times Patches tries to kill them or their friends. It pays off in the ending where he makes a HeelFaceTurn.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Most of the "bad" dialogue options and choices in the second game are this, like [[AfraidOfBlood eating raw, bloody meat in front of Sparky]], [[SympathyForTheDevil pitying Patches]] after Angel tells them why Patches is after them, or [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asking Patches if Angel broke his heart]].
* MoralityChain: Is this to Patches in the third game. If you try to leave the school, Patches will remember Olive's earlier request for him to not leave and stay put.
* PungeonMaster: Makes a lot of animal-themed puns, usually when nervous.
* SignificantBirthDate: Of the ironic sort. The cheerful and nonthreatening Olive was born on October 31, Halloween.
* SaveTheVillain: Olive asks Angel not to kill Patches near the end of the first game, and they also promise to save Patches from Purgatory near the end of the second.
* SpeechImpediment: Olive has a reasonably pronounced stutter. In the first game, it's easy to mistake it as due to fear, but in one possible scene where Brownie lampshades it as such, Olive admits that they've just always stuttered, and the ending of the second game and entirety of the third confirm that it really is just how they talk, even when there's nothing to be afraid of.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Pities Patches in the second game, while he's trying to kill Olive and all their friends, and insists that he's actually a good boy. In the bad ending where Patches heals everyone after committing murder, where not even Olive can forgive Patches anymore, they're more disappointed in Patches than hateful of him.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Befitting a visual novel/choose your own adventure protagonist, there's a lot of ghoulish ways for Olive to go out. In the first game alone, Olive can die to stabbing, strangulation, being torn apart by Cat Demons, [[OffWithHisHead having their head eaten or torn off]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers self-inflicted death by chocolate]]. The second game adds such fates as [[DevouredByTheHorde being eaten by a horde of zombies]], [[GlasgowGrin having their head torn in half at the jaw]], every bone in their body being snapped in half, [[EyeScream their eyes being popped out out of their head with magic]] [[ColdBloodedTorture or getting tortured to death off-screen]], [[AndIMustScream in both cases paralyzed but still conscious]], [[TorsoWithAView getting a hole blasted in their chest via magic wand]], [[ManOnFire being burned alive]], and more stabbing.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bacon treats. Specifically the kind that looks like plastic.
* {{Transgender}}: Is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: While most of the Affection-lowering dialogue and choices are either this or InnocentlyInsensitive or just saying/doing the wrong thing, the option near the end of the first game to betray Angel for Patches has no excuse. [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment The prize for doing this]] is an Angel-possessed-Patches [[OffWithHisHead literally biting Olive's head off]], [[WhatTheHellHero and some narration calling you out]].

[[folder:Brownie Pembroke]]
!! Brownie Pembroke
->''"It's us the HACHIKO HIGHSCHOOL GUARDIANS!"''
A happy little Corgi who hid in a bathroom stall.
----
* AGoodWayToDie: Dies happily if Olive and her manage to find some chocolate, even though it's painful and she's vomiting blood.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Would rather die eating chocolate than be killed by Cat Demons.
* BigEater: Survived in the bathroom for so long due to carrying a lot of snacks in her bag, doesn't hesitate to eat the treats belonging to the dead dogs in the gym, and decides that if she's going to die anyway, she should die eating chocolate. If you involve her in Sparky's plan to stop the Cat Demons and escape, she's initially saddened by the prospect of not getting to eat chocolate until she's an old dog, but is consoled by all the food she'll get to eat in the meantime. This carries over to the next two games, where she can sneak a biscuit from Olive's birthday cake, and is eager to eat the cake she and Patches make in Home Economics.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Pukes blood if she eats chocolate, to fatal effect.
* BlushSticker
* DeathSeeker: Almost immediately decides to eat chocolate, a course of action she knows is fatal. She drops this attitude if you get her in on Sparky's plan to defeat the Cat Demons and escape.
* KilledOffscreen: Brownie will die if you let her leave the bathroom by herself. Her body is found in the cafeteria, sliced apart. The Cat Demons got to her before she could find any chocolate.
* InterspeciesRomance: Has a crush on Coco, a cat.
* IronicName / MeaningfulName: Is named after a type of chocolate, a food that she loves, but it'll kill her if she eats it. She lampshades it in the first game.
->'''Brownie''': My name's Brownie! But NOT because I'm hiding in the bathroom, my parents just love taunting me with the things I can't have.
* {{Irony}}: In the first game, Brownie wants to eat chocolate so she can die on her own terms. In the third game, Brownie can finally have her wish granted, but it's due to Patches poisoning her, and he kills her shortly afterwards.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be pretty rude, snarky, and in her words, kind of a bitch, but she treats Olive well and is willing to admit when she's wrong.
* RecurringElement: Bathrooms, and possibly dying in them.
** In the first game, you find her in the bathroom, hiding in one of the stalls. If you meet Patches first and bring him there, it results in both you and Brownie being stabbed to death.
** In the second game, you find her in the Grimalkin bathroom, trying to avoid Sparky. One of the game's bad endings has Brownie drag Olive into the bathroom to escape Patches and his horde of zombies, where they're soon killed by the latter.
** The third game breaks tradition, with everyone starting in Coco and Angel's living room. However, if you poison Brownie's cake and let her eat it, she runs to the bathroom ([[CallBack the same one from the first game]]), where Patches murders her.
* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Zig-zagged. In her Hachiko High School uniform she's a BarefootCartoonAnimal, just like everybody else. But in the second game (and first chapter of the third game) when she's in her casual clothes, she wears socks. But they either don't cover her feet, or they have a paw-print design on the bottom.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate.

[[folder:Sparky Fritz]]
!! Sparky Fritz
->''"Don't lose hope! With the three of us working together we can stop this!"''
A tall and sporty Husky found in the gym.
----
* AfraidOfBlood: Develops an aversion to blood after the events of the first game. Eating the bloody meat in the fridge will lower his Affection as a result.
* BatterUp: Murders Patches with a baseball bat if you hit him in the face with a sabotaged baseball.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sparky's agreeable and polite, but he's absurdly strong, and willing to put that muscle to use when defending himself and his friends. Additionally, Sparky can be brutal in retaliation to those who do him and his loved ones harm. After Ginger possesses Sparky, breaking Brownie's leg and Angel's arm, he steals Coco's wand and attempts to send her to Inferno. And if you hit Sparky in the face with a baseball lined with tacks, he outright murders Patches.
* DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by Ginger in the second game.
* EyeScream: One of the third game's bad endings starts with Patches throwing a baseball lined with tacks at Sparky's head, hitting him in the eye.
* FightingFromTheInside: One of the bad endings from the second game has Sparky fight off Ginger's DemonicPossession long enough to [[OffWithHisHead rip Patches' head off with one hand]]... But it doesn't last long, and Ginger quickly asserts dominance and snaps Olive's neck.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Is armed with a hockey stick in the first game.
* KilledOffscreen: Sparky will die if you let him leave the gym by himself, or let him go into the woods by himself. In the former case, you find his body in the basement, sans an eye and an arm. In the latter, you find him tied to the cellar door with magical barbed wire, dissected but still alive. Curiously, meeting Patches first and bringing him to the gym also results in Sparky being found dead.
* LightningBruiser: The second game shows that he's this. Unfortunately, it's mostly displayed while he's possessed by Ginger. He can dash from one end of the room to another in a second, kick and destroy a chair thrown at his legs while grappling someone else, snap necks, tear off Patches' head, and break Angel's arm one-handed, as well as tear apart Olive's jaw and snap all the bones in their arms and legs in half with his bare hands.
* LovableJock: Is athletic, captain of the Sports Team, and a really nice guy.
* MismatchedEyes: His left eye is orange, and his right eye is blue.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite Sparky being a LovableJock [[CarryABigStick armed with a hockey stick]] and Patches being a bookworm, any confrontation between the two results in Sparky's death. Averted in the second game, where he's a LightningBruiser.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Feels incredibly guilty about injuring Brownie and Angel, even though he was possessed when he did it. The third game shows that he also feels guilty over stealing Coco's wand and almost sending Ginger to Inferno.
* TapOnTheHead: Averted. Trying to knock him out with a frying pan or toilet lid will crack his skull open, killing him.
* TheBigGuy: Is the tallest member of the main cast, and strong too.
* TheInsomniac: Has been sleepwalking and saying disturbing things in his sleep in between the first and second game as a result of Ginger's attempts to possess him. To make sure he doesn't do anything bad, he spent the three days before the second game sleepless.
* TheLeader: Not only is he the captain of the Sports Team, but he takes charge in the first game, creating the plan to break the pipes in the basement and leading Olive and Brownie there.
* TranquilFury: Responds to Patches hitting him in the face with a spiked baseball by calmly standing up, revealing that "Angel" is actually a serial killer in a cat's body, and murdering Patches with a baseball bat.

[[folder:Patches Ito]]
!! Patches Ito
->''"Hello puppy."''
A handsome bookworm Dalmation holed up in the library.
----
* AllForNothing: In the worst ending for the third game, Patches succeeds in getting his body back and killing everybody... Only to die a week later and be trapped in Inferno, forever.
* BigBad: Of the first and second game. Whether he's this for the third depends on the player's choices.
* CardCarryingVillain: He's an unrepentant murderer and sadist, and practically brags about it sometimes. Furthermore, according to Luna, he was like this ''before'' actually becoming a murderer.
* CatchPhrase: "Hello puppy".
** BorrowedCatchphrase: Patches appropriated it from an in-universe cartoon of the same name, as dialogue in the first game and an examinable item in the third game reveal.
** MadLibsCatchphrase: Uses "Hello puppies" if Olive is with a friend, and "Hello kitten" to address cats.
* ClosetGeek: Examining the Hello Puppy doll in the third game has Patches recognize it, and then deny being a fan, even though nobody's around to suspect him of being such.
* DeadpanSnarker: Heavily in the third game, where at least half of his dialogue is some manner of snark.
* DemonicPossession: Has his body taken over by Angel at the end of the first game, and opens up the second game by possessing Angel's corpse.
* DraggedOffToHell: The worst ending to the third game has Patches chained in Inferno by Bapawmet, where no amount of magic will ever be able to free him. He was also sent to Inferno when Angel possessed his body in the first game.
* EasilyForgiven: Zig-zagged. Olive can forgive Patches for all he's done and rescue him from Purgatory. Olive's friends, however, do not forgive Patches, least of all Angel, and only bring him back under the condition that he wears a magic collar and leash to keep him from doing bad things. They only forgive him properly when he shows that he's changed.
** Subverted in the third game if you have Patches choose to bring everyone back to life after having killed at least one other character. The killed-off character(s) will show up and tell everyone what Patches did to them, whereupon even Olive will agree that Patches resurrecting them does not make up for him having killed someone who did him no harm yet again even after being given a second chance by them, and they let Coco kill Patches.
* EscapedFromHell: Ended up in Inferno after the first game, but escaped with Ginger by using her powers.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: "Joked" to Angel that he'd murder him if he ever left him, and actually did when Angel got creeped out and broke up with him. He also exhibits this throughout the third game, like coyly suggesting to [[AnArmAndALeg Holly]] that ''someone'' might have been going around dismembering corpses, making a lot of puns and wordplay around murder and carnage, and other macabre things.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears one in the third game (and at the end of the second) due to Angel's corpse missing an eye.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps his ovular, grey eyes when possessing Angel's body.
* EyeScream: Fond of inflicting these. Angel's ghost and body is missing his right eye, and you can find it in a jar in Patches' locker in the third game. One of the bad endings from the second game has Patches pop a still-living Olive's eyes out, and in the third game it's possible to throw a baseball lined with tacks at Sparky's face, destroying his left eye.
** Ironically, he can suffer this himself. Bringing Sparky to the library has him fight with Patches, who drops his knife. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Olive can then pick it up and slash out Patches' right eye]]. In the third game, he's missing his eye from the start due to possessing Angel's corpse, but one of the bad endings of the third game has Coco destroy his remaining eye if you have her dispel his collar after Mittens already did so.
* FalseFriend: Patches is very friendly to Olive in the first game, and tries to be on good terms with them, even after Brownie insults him or Olive chooses dialogue options that displease him. It's all an act though, and Patches will ''always'' end up betraying you if you trust or befriend him.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Angel possesses Patches' body in the first game, and Patches possesses Angel's in the second. The third game focuses the most heavily on this, with Angel and Patches having to pretend to be each other at school as explaining to others about how they ended up in each other's bodies would not end well.
* HeelFaceTurn: Can pull this in the third game by giving up on his quest for revenge and using Bapawmet's power to heal everybody.
* HeelRealization: Can reflect on how Angel doesn't love him and how he needs to get over him if you examine all the mementos in his locker, and can do so again during his conversation with Angel in the hallway.
* IfICantHaveYou: Used almost word-for-word when Patches reflects on his failed relationship with Angel.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Depending on your choices in the third game, you can have Patches bond with the other characters, have a HeelRealization about his past misdeeds, and admit to Ginger that he wants to change for the better like she did... And then have him choose to order Bapawmet to kill everyone anyway.
* InterspeciesRomance: Patches, a dog, used to be in a relationship with Angel, a cat.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even if you don't kill anyone and take all the Affection-raising dialogue options in the first game, Patches is still condescending, snarky, rude, and does bad things like stealing the ingredients for the Apocalypse, telling Coco that Brownie has a crush on her against Brownie's wishes, and not opening Holly's book after giving it to her. Elevates to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold after the HeelFaceTurn.
* KnifeNut: Knives are Patches's choice of weapon in all three games.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Patches was already pretty unstable even before he fell in love with Angel, but the latter breaking up with him was what caused him to snap and turn to murder as retaliation.
* PungeonMaster: Shows shades of this in the third game, almost always centered around killing and violence.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after his HeelFaceTurn, Patches is still snarky and somewhat dark.
* RestrainingBolt: Is outfitted with a magic collar at the end of the second game that prevents him from doing evil deeds. Removing it is one of the first things Patches focuses on in the third game, and it's removed at the end of first period.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The second game has Patches's spirit come back to wreak bloody revenge on everyone he perceives as having wronged him, which is basically everyone else in the cast. The third game can also potentially play out like this.
* StalkerShrine: His locker, which contains a picture of Angel under a tree, Angel's break-up letter, a letter Patches sent after that, a lock of Angel's fur, a photo reel, [[CreepySouvenir Angel's pickled eye in a jar]], and the knife Patches used to kill him.
* StalkerWithACrush: In the third game, Patches has clearly not fully gotten over Angel and can choose to stare at Angel multiple times in Literature class until Angel gets creeped out enough to leave class to get away from him, whereupon Patches can follow him and attack him... Or instead accept that he shouldn't have killed Angel for breaking up with him and that he needs to move on from him.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: If you encountered Patches before bringing Sparky and Brownie down to the basement, then during the walk to the classroom, Brownie suspects that Patches is stalking them down the halls. You need to weave in and out of classrooms to avoid him, or he'll catch up and murder everybody. [[SchmuckBait Of course, you could choose to trust that Patches isn't following you for any malicious reason...]]
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Occurs multiple times throughout the series. Agreeing to help Patches look for a cat inevitably leads to him murdering you and at least one other person, choosing to trust that Patches isn't stalking you down the halls has him murder Olive and frame it as a suicide, and Patches can repay Olive's rescuing him from eternal damnation in Purgatory (and Coco giving him a chance to redeem himself by dispelling his collar) by murdering them and all their friends. [[LoveRedeems Subverted if you instead]] [[HeelFaceTurn choose to change and heal everybody]].
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Has the option to indulge in this multiple times throughout the third game, from insults and mockery to mutilation and murder. [[VideoGameCrueltyPunishment Of course, go too far and you may be murdered for your troubles]].
* VillainProtagonist: The BigBad of the first two games, and the player character of the third.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to discuss Patches without revealing that he's the BigBad of the first two games, and revealing that he's the PlayerCharacter of the third game spoils the ending of the second game.

[[folder:Coco Grimalkin]]
!! Coco Grimalkin
->''"All you dogs are guilty until we find the real killer!"''
A Bombay cat from Kemono Woods Private School, and Angel's older sister. She's the cause of the death and destruction in Hachiko High School, as she's seeking to avenge her little brother.
----
* TheAtoner: While she's EasilyForgiven in the first game for killing one thousand innocent dogs in the search for her brother's killer, she feels guilty over it in the second game, and accepts responsibility for it. This trope is most evident in the third game, where asks Mitt and Whisk to revive all the dogs, organizes the school event so they'll change their minds on dogs, and can share a scene with Patches where she talks about how she wants to change.
* BigSisterInstinct: Was protective of her little brother in life, and after he was murdered, she went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* CatsAreMagic: Is a talented Witch from a long family of magical felines.
* EasilyForgiven: In the first game, Coco suffers zero consequences for having killed almost everyone in Olive's school, none of whom were her brother's killer who she specifically wanted revenge on, and Olive, Brownie, and Sparky are all shown to have happily befriended her in the canon ending's closing image. However, the second and third games subvert this when all the dogs killed in the first game come back as vengeful zombies that swarm Coco's house and Coco has to find a way to appease them and she readily admits that it's her entire fault that she and her friends are in this situation.
** It's also played straight in the third game. In the Golden Ending, the dogs' reaction to her long story of her being responsible for most of their deaths and how Patches and Angel ended-up body-swapped is just to get bored before the end and start talking with each other, and there's no signs of them holding a grudge in the brief Playable Epilogue.
* FantasticRacism: Has a grudge against dogs, due to one murdering her brother, and doesn't feel bad at all about the innocent lives lost in her pursuit of Angel's killer. She drops this at the end of the first game.
* HeelFaceTurn: Befriends Olive and the gang in the first game's GoldenEnding.
* InterspeciesRomance: Has a crush on Brownie, a dog.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not only did she kill almost every student in Hachiko High School, but she's pretty rude and arrogant. However, she's very protective of her younger brother, overcomes her prejudices and becomes friends with Olive, Brownie, and Sparky, and attempts to make things right by bringing the dogs she killed back to life.
* KilledOffscreen: If you have no or negative affection with Coco and enact her plan in the second game, she'll die running away from the zombies and be found almost dead, under the tree. Conversely, if you have positive affection, she'll be the only survivor of the attack.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Scours Hachiko High School, killing one thousand innocent dogs, so she could avenge her little brother.
* SummonMagic: Summons three Cat Demons and Angel's ghost so they can hunt down Patches.
* WitchClassic: Has a magic wand, brews potions, uses a pentagram, and even wears a black robe and witch hat. Downplayed in the next two games, where she dresses normally.

!! Angel Grimalkin
->''"... I'm uh, not a demon... I'm actually a ghost..."''
A White Siberian cat, and Coco's little brother, who was killed before the events of the first game.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Angel is normally as sweet as his name implies, but he has a huge (and extremely understandable) grudge against Patches. The third game has a possible scene where he gives Patches a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and in the ending he attempts to strangle Patches when he believes that he's stolen his body again.
** Angel is also quite deadly. Every death at Angel's paws in the first game has him either eating Olive's head, or tearing it off of them. In the second game, there's a scene where he manages to get his hands on Coco's wand, and [[TorsoWithAView blasts a hole in Sparky's chest (and Olive's by accident)]]. And in the third game, attacking Angel after talking with him for a bit has him snapping Patches' head off.
* DemonicPossession: Possesses Patches' body at the end of the first game, and inhabits it all the way until the end of the third game.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps his triangular, yellow eyes when possessing Patches' body. [[SlasherSmile He also keeps his sharp teeth]].
* EyeScream: His right eye is missing from his body, and from his ghost.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Angel possesses Patches' body in the first game, and Patches possesses Angel's in the second. The third game focuses the most heavily on this, with Angel and Patches having to pretend to be each other at school as explaining to others about how they ended up in each other's bodies would not end well.
* HandHidingSleeves: His Kemono Woods Private School uniform has long sleeves, as seen when he's a ghost, and on his school ID card. It's also seen with his sweater in the third game's GoldenEnding screen.
* HeelFaceTurn: Like Coco, he joins Olive and their friends at the end of the first game.
* InterspeciesRomance: Angel, a cat, used to be in a relationship with Patches, a dog.
* MuggleBornOfMages: Is from the same family of magical cats as his sister, Coco, but displays no interest in or ability with magic through the entire franchise.
* OffWithHisHead: Is fond of inflicting these. Every death caused by Angel in the first game has them either eating Olive's head, or tearing it off their shoulders, complete with spine. In the third game, attacking Angel after talking with him has him shove Patches' head in a locker and snap it off.
* SlasherSmile: Flashes one right before attacking in the first game. While it's not as present in the next two games, Angel also gives a sharp smile when mentioning how the pots and pans in his kitchen are poisoned.
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[KillItWithWater Is weak to water while a ghost]].

[[folder:Cat Demons]]
!! Cat Demons
Three demons Coco summons while hunting down her brother's killer.

* EyeScream: The two demons in the halls are missing an eye. Or maybe they're just winking.
* KillItWithWater: [[WeaksauceWeakness Their only weakness]]. They ''are'' cats.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Just three demons managed to kill one thousand dogs.
* RandomEncounter: While moving from one location to another, Olive (and anyone they're travelling with) can run into a demon in the halls. Depending on what ghost it is, you either have to run past it, or duck under it, while weaving in and out of classrooms will let you avoid either.
* SlasherSmile: All three demons sport these.

->''"I love a good romance."''
A ghostly Bloodhound who used her magical abilities to let her and Patches escape Inferno, as well as the one who raised the horde of zombies.
----
* BarrierMaiden: A downplayed example in the third game. Ginger's magical stitches are keeping the bodies of Patches and the zombie dogs together until Mittens revives them. Killing her loosens the stitches, but Patches and the others are able to last until the assembly.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Had her head slowly cut in half by a Cat Demon's claws.
* DemonicPossession: Takes control of Sparky's body in the second game after several days of wearing him down.
* DraggedOffToHell: Sparky tries to do this after she possesses him, and he succeeds if you don't stop him.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears as a corpse in the first game (the one in the bathroom stall), but isn't given a name or character until the second.
* EyesAreMental: Keeps her red eyes while possessing Sparky's body.
* HeelFaceTurn: Befriends Olive and turns against Patches near the end of the second game.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Grew attached to Patches, who took advantage of her powers to revive himself, and raise the zombies. She gets over him enough to turn against him near the end of the game.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When possessing Sparky. After her HeelFaceTurn, it's a lot more benevolent, but it comes back with a vengeance if Patches refuses to change in the third game.

* ActuallyFourMooks: Inverted with the talksprites. Even if there's only one zombie talking or appearing, their sprite will depict a horde of generic zombies.
* DevouredByTheHorde: Inflicts this fate on Olive and their friends in the various bad endings.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Downplayed. If they corner Olive and the gang or catch them off-guard, they ''will'' tear them to bits. That aside, they're quite laughable, whacking their heads into walls and taking forever to navigate a simple iron gate, as well as taking a while to agree on why they're attacking Grimalkin Estate.
* TastesLikeFriendship: They stop trying to kill Olive and their friends if Olive feeds them Angel's meat.
* ZombieApocalypse: Composes a small one localized in Kemono Woods, specifically Grimalkin Estate.

->''"I'm Whiskers Wichien, Vice President of the Elite Magic Club. You can call me Whisk though!"''
A Siamese cat from Kemono Woods Private School, Mitten's brother, and the Vice President of the Elite Magic Club.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to Angel, and Patches by extension.
* CatsAreMagic: Is Vice President of the Elite Magic Club, and is from the Wichien family of magical felines. Subverted, as he can't actually use magic.
* FantasticRacism: Hates dogs, only gets on-board with Coco's plan to revive the zombies because they won't wander around Kemono Woods, and confides in Patches that he and Mitt only agreed to the communal school day so they could see the dogs make fools of themself. He also blames his ancestors for mixing with dogs and tells Mittens that he kind of hates them for it. Whisk drops this attitude near the end of the game.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Has the same hair color and similar clothing to his nonbinary sibling Mittens.
* InSeriesNickname: Whisk.
* InterspeciesRomance: It's implied that he developed a crush on Patches near the end of the game.
* {{Irony}}: He hates dogs, but he spends all of Home Economics flirting with "Angel", who is actually a dog in a cat's body. Patches even lampshades it.
->'''Whiskers''': Thanks so much for helping me out, Angel. It is soooo much nicer working with another cat than a dog. Dogs honestly scare the hell out of me.
->'''Patches''': Yeah, they suck don't they? Would be a shame if you were somehow swindled into having a dog as a partner, hmm?
* MuggleBornOfMages: Has no magical abilities to speak of, despite being from a family of witches. After reading the Claret Family Grimoire, he speculates it might be due to having dog ancestry.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mittens Wichien]]
!! Mittens Wichien
->''"Okay. I'll heal them."''
A Siamese cat from Kemono Woods Private School, Whisker's sibling, and the President of the Elite Magic Club. They're the only one capable of reviving all the zombie dogs.
----
* CatsAreMagic: Is President of the Elite Magic Club, and is from the Wichien family of magical felines.
* FantasticRacism: Hates dogs, like Whisk, but less overt and more condescendingly. They drop this attitude near the end of the game, not only because the day turned out well, but due to finding out that the Wichien's magical heritage is partly because of the canine Clarets. They state that they had a "Dog Complex".
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Has the same hair color and similar clothing to their brother Whiskers.
* InSeriesNickname: Mitt.
* LivingLieDetector: Mitt always knows when Patches is being dishonest, and it almost always lowers affection with them.
* SummonMagic: Knows the ritual to summon Bapawmet, and does so before the game starts as a demonstration of their powers.
* {{Transgender}}: Is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

->''"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! D-D-D-DOG!!"''
A perpetually nervous cat from Kemono Woods Private School, and a member of the Elite Magic Club.
----
* CatsAreMagic: Is a member of the Elite Magic Club, and is always seen with his wand in-hand.
* FantasticRacism: Is also not a fan of dogs, but unlike Whisk and Mitt, it seems to be more fear than hatred. He's in the middle of explaining that cats are taught from a young age that dogs have a "switch" inside them when Patches [[CooldownHug interrupts him by shoving Olive onto him]].
* MismatchedEyes: Downplayed, but his left eye is light green, while his right eye is dark green.
* NervousWreck: Stutters heavily, looks nervous in his world sprite, and downright terrified in most of his talk sprites. Being afraid of dogs in the middle of an all-dogs school doesn't help at all.
* PorkyPigPronunciation: Stutters heavily when trying to say "kill", and swaps it out for a different word.
* SpeechImpediment: Stutters, but much more severely than Olive.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fish eyes.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Translates the Claret Family Grimoire for Patches, which allows him to later take his body back from Angel and summon Bapawmet. He also trades Patches his wand, one of the ingredients Patches need to start the apocalypse, for a can of dog food.

* EarlyBirdCameo: His dead body can be found in the hallway in the first game's HD remake.
* HiddenDepths: Despite being incredibly lazy, he's a member of the Literature Club.
* LazyBum: Shamelessly admits to being too lazy to make a cake with Whisk when Patches asks him why he doesn't do it himself.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's just as functional as the other zombie dogs, but he uses his exposed brain to pretend that he's unintelligent so he doesn't have to do work.
* SpeciesSurname
* TheSlacker: Like Whisk, he doesn't want to make a cake for Home Economics. But where Whisk is coming from a place of FantasticRacism, Doug just can't be bothered.

* CovertPervert: Among the other items in her banned book collection, Holly mentions "cat-girl comics", that Luna was giggling to herself as she hid them, and that she begged Holly not to tell anyone about them.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Her dead body can be found in the library in the first game's HD remake.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: An odd example. If Patches talks to her about himself, then she'll tell "Angel" that she thinks Patches is lying about being "a two-faced egomaniacal felinophile", and is actually "a kind, misunderstood and philosophic felinophile". It's an unambiguous compliment, but considering she's talking about Angel-in-Patches'-body to Patches-in-Angel's-body, it's this, with Patches concluding that people like Angel-as-Patches more than Patches-as-Patches.

* AnArmAndALeg: Is missing both of her arms. Patches implies that it wasn't the Cat Demons who torn them off, it was ''him''. She gets them back if Patches heals her.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Her dead body can be found in the library in the first game's HD remake.
* GodivaHair: Has a weird hybrid of this and non-GoryDiscretionShot going on. She has expansive white hair that surrounds her like a cloak, serving not to cover nudity but the fact that she has bloody stumps instead of arms, except for a few times her portrait reveals them, usually to underscore a statement.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Unlike everyone else who either doesn't acknowledge, gets upset by, or tries to brush off Patches' insults, Holly gives as good as she gets.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Tells Patches where the banned books in the library are hidden, which allows him to find the Claret Family Grimoire.

->''"If you wanna do today right, y'all gotta let me show off my... ATHLETIC PURRROWESS!!"''
An athletic Kemono Woods Private School student, who may or may not be a tiger.
----
* BadassNormal: She's one of the few Kemono Woods Private School student who displays zero magical interest (like Angel) or aptitude (like Whisk), but she more than makes up for it by being big and strong.
* DumbJock: She's not exactly dumb, but her not letting Patches steal Mitt's crystal ball while only commenting that it would make a good basketball, not knowing whether she's a cat or a tiger when asked, and having a one-track mind related to sports is pretty suspect.
* LovableJock: She's pretty chipper, and encourages Patches and Holly in their respective sports-related endeavors.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Basically watches Patches steal Mitt's crystal ball (one of the ingredients to the apocalypse) and doesn't say anything, as well as potentially assisting Patches' distraction so he can steal Ginger's fur.
* ViewerSpeciesConfusion: In-universe example. She's with the other cats, so she's probably a Toyger, but she's rather big. Patches can ask if she's a tiger, and as it turns out, she doesn't know either.

* BathroomStallGraffiti: "[[FiveFiveFive 555]]-[[LOL69 6969]] Rover <3" is found written on the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom. It's so he can meet people to play sports with.
* DumbJock: He's pretty oblivious, not only failing to understand the implications of leaving your name and phone number on a bathroom wall, but not picking up that Patches has malevolent intentions for his box of tacks.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The first we see of Rover is BathroomStallGraffiti bearing his name and phone number in the first name. His dead body is also visible in the gym in the first game's HD remake.
* LovableJock: Rover is excitable, enthusiastic, and really friendly.
* ThePrankster: Implied. The box of tacks Patches can borrow is labelled "for pranks".
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Can gives Patches a box of tacks, which will lead to Sparky getting an injured hand at best, or missing an eye at worst.

The almighty ruler of Inferno, and the godlike entity Mittens calls upon to revive the dead.
----
* MassResurrection: Has the power to not only heal every dead dog at Hachiko High School, but all the dead dogs wandering Kemono Woods as well...
* PersonOfMassDestruction: But they can just as easily reduce them all to pieces.
* PhysicalGod: Is referred to as a god in the intro.
* SummonMagic: Can be summoned with a skull, a crystal ball, and a magic wand. Only the Wichiens know this spell, but it turns out the Clarets knew too, and Patches learns it from their Grimoire.
