Part of her arc in ''A Nightmare at Green Lake'' is learning to accept her arcanist side, especially when her human friends near instantly abandon her the moment supernatural trouble occurs.
* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: Her classmates and everyone else only ever refer to her by her nickname, "Blonney." "Anne" is the only one to consistently refer to her as Jennifer, {{foreshadowing}} Anne's true identity as Jessica and that their relationship was a lot longer and deeper than just happening to meet each other near Green Lake.

* CosmicMotif: Her name is hindi for "Black Dwarf", a theoretical type of star that, after consuming all fusionable material, produces no more light.
* HotScientist: An astronomer researcher noted for her smarts and beauty.

* Obliviously Evil: Jessica is not so much malevolent as she is naiive and lacking in empathy.

* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Given the game's time-hopping premise, it's easy to assume he's from the Victorian era based on his hat and coat. It also doesn't help how he is supposedly inspired by "Oliver Twist", a Victorian novel taking place in England; surrounding themes of child labour and domestic violence. He's actually from the 1950s, though; the outfit is considered a sort of uniform for Fogwalkers.

-->'''Afflatus:''' Plant\\

'''Voiced by:''' Isabella Astbury (EN), Kazuka Yuzuki (JP)

An elfin creature found in the outskirts of Paris, French Fourth Republic. Though rumors might lead you to believe that she's a benevolent guardian of the lake who will grant wishes with an offering of coins, the truth couldn't be farther, and La Source spends most of her time angrily chasing off would-be wishers who keep polluting her home with coins. Despite this, she's still willing to help the Crew, acting as a healer and debilitating their enemies.

* TheAgeless: As a supernatural creature born from the lake she inhabits, La Source's "age" and aging in general are both extremely vague or don't apply to her at all.
* BerserkButton: Any form of coin. This stems from countless hapless visitors throwing coins into her lake, polluting it and expecting wishes which La Source most certainly does ''not'' grant.
* {{Irony}}: She thanks a random visitor who "helped" her by removing some of the many coins in her jug and taking it for themselves.
* IconicItem: She wouldn't be her without her everflowing water jug.
* MakingASplash: As befitting a supernatural creature from a lake, all of her arcane skills happen to involve flowing fresh lake water in some way. This is especially prominent with her jug, as water keeps pouring out of it.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "No. More. Wishes! To! Me!" when she uses her ultimate, emphasizing how sick and tired she is of people tossing coins at her.

[[folder:'''The Fool''']]
--> '''Afflatus:''' Star\\

'''Voiced by:''' Fu Bowen (CN), Kyousuke Nitta (JP)

A mid-17th century jester and a member of the King's Men Troupe. Dramatic with a ruff collar and always-on mask, he can easily influence people.

* NoHeroToHisValet: Though the Fool is willingly Charlie's subordinate and acts in her and the Troupe's best interests, he is not afraid to consistently tease and push Charlie into decisions she'd really rather not do, acting more like ''her'' boss or at least a pushy manager.

[[folder:'''Twins Sleep''']]
!! Lisa and Louise
--> '''Afflatus:''' Spirit\\

'''Voiced by:''' Suzuka Kamitaka (JP)

Lisa and Louise are a pair of inseparable "twins." They come from a middle class family. They speak the same words, do the same thing. Sometimes, even their parents cannot tell them apart.

* CoordinatedClothes: Twins Sleep wear perfectly mirrored outfits, from their overalls to their orange bowknots and plastic flower toys. Their in-game art further emphasizes this as each twins model is just a flipped version of the other.
* SingleMindedTwins: The twins are indistinguishable in both their actions and speech, often speaking in perfect unison, which can be seen in most of their voicelines. Even their parents struggle to tell them apart due to how similar they are.

!!2*
By far the weakest of the arcanists, but not ''useless''. They may only rely on one gimmick and nothing else, but they have their place in certain teams.

[[folder:In General]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: Door and Ms. Radio both have some incredibly powerful ultimates that will manipulate the moxie of both the allied and the enemy teams... and that's about the only thing they have that makes them worth deploying. It's telling that using these will kill them instantly, letting another, likely better-overall arcanist in the 4th slot replace them.
* SuicideAttack: Both Ms. Radio and Door's ultimates involve sacrificing themselves to give benefit to the team and sabotage the enemy.
