* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Red Riding Hood's idea of play means certain death to everyone else, so her main request for her Author(s) when they're revived is to give her a playmate who "won't break". Because she herself doesn't think that her way of "playing" is too rough, everyone around her either outright avoids her or yells at her to watch where she's swinging her weapon.

She managed to claw her way from being a streetwalker to being the head of a yakuza clan through making and breaking alliances with bewildering speed ([[spoiler:and then promptly got assassinated because nobody trusted her and everyone feared her]]). Her Library version doesn't really qualify - she's not terribly trustworthy, but is more of a hedonistic, antisocial loner who generally doesn't bother pretending to make nice in the first place (and therefore acts as more of a team player because if she has to do so, then the situation's already too dire to be worth playing silly buggers). She'll still backstab you, of course, but it'll usually be in a literal, CombatPragmatist sense.

-->"Even if you break my right arm… or sever my left arm… even then, I won’t give up."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaoIchimichi
The titular girl from Lewis Carroll's Literature/AliceInWonderland, Alice seems to feel immense grief and denial over her Author's death and wishes to resurrect him, even if it means they'll never meet or that he'll hate her.\\\
Her Concept is "Bondage"[[labelnote:JP]]束縛/sokubaku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never outright stated that she's experiencing severe, chronic depression, but her emotional numbness, lack of strong personal motivation, and almost-nonexistent self-esteem speak volumes.
* AboveGoodAndEvil: It's implied that her motives are based more in intuition than morality, and that she believes that her actions aren't good or evil.
* AliceAllusion: A more literal example. She is the character of Alice.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: A short-haired, dark blue-haired girl who refuses to be distracted from her goal.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: A meta variant. [[spoiler:Although Alice is a character in Lewis Carroll's story, her InnerMonologue and lore feature more of her relationship with her Author than the Wonderland itself. This indicates that she may or may not be the actual Alice Liddell, a young girl whom Lewis befriended during his life.]]
* BareYourMidriff / {{Underboobs}}: Her Sorcerer outfit probably has the bare minimum of clothing by far.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After returning to the Library during ''[[LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime Lullaby of Reincarnation]]'', the sole reason why Alice and Snow White decided to go back to the world Parrah and Noya had them reincarnate as monsters in despite hating their reincarnated bodies was simply because Shizu was very kind to them despite their faults.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Her Reality Arc persona is hinted to have such a relationship with her sensei.
* {{BFG}}: She carries one of these in her Gunner form.
* {{BFS}} / KatanasAreBetter: Her Breaker job main hand is designed based on katana.
* CreepyChild: Her Paladin class story stated that she rambles incoherently in the middle of the night and she frightened the nurses.
* CreepyMonotone: As part of her EmotionlessGirl schtick, she usually keeps the same flat, glum tone even when she's doing (or about to do) something extremely disturbing.
* DeadpanSnarker: As an EmotionlessGirl, she's near-permanently deadpan, but that doesn't prevent her from reacting to the world around her with blunt, acid wit every so often.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her Half-Nightmare class story tells of Alice's anxiety over her wish not coming true, and her despair twisting her determination to fight into mindlessly killing everyone, including her Author and herself in the end. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this turns out to be not far off from what actually happens to her in the Act of Elimination, completing her ProtagonistJourneyToVillain.]]
* {{Determinator}}: A very dark example. No matter how many things she has to kill, how much it hurts, even if she'll never meet her Author again in the end, she won't give up. It doesn't take too long before it becomes clear that this is not a good thing, and her single-minded obsession with her mission is taking her to some very unpleasant places. [[spoiler:Not only that, but the story shows what happens when the ultimate determinator finds out that their quest was AllForNothing, and it's not pretty at all.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: The reason why she wants to jump in the Reality Arc is because [[spoiler: her sensei has left her.]]
* EmotionSuppression: Her Minstrel weapon story states that Alice resolved to discard her emotion in order to fight for the sake of her Author's resurrection.
* EmotionlessGirl: A sacrifice made to elevate her determination.
* FeelNoPain: Alice stated that she feels no pain, because she knows that her wish to meet with her Author is cursed. This however gets averted as she become adept in combat and pain proves that she's both alive and sane.
* TheFettered: As befitting her Concept of Bondage. Alice is bound to her author and her wish to resurrect him, regardless of how much she suffers or what the outcome of bringing him back will be. [[spoiler: In the Reality Arc, Alice is bound by her relationship with her teacher and her pregnancy as a result of it, resulting in her committing suicide after he leaves her because she couldn't live without him.]]
** [[spoiler: This also applies to Reality!Alice in the manga, where she chooses to remain bound by her promise of being together with her close friend even after she sleeps with the teacher she is in a relationship with. So much so that when her friend is about to jump off the school rooftop after [[WomanScorned murdering the teacher]] for leaving her, Alice tackles her off the roof and joins her in suicide, just to fulfill her promise.]]
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: The fate of Reality!Alice at the hands of Library!Alice in the Act of Elimination, being sliced in two by the latter during their fight.]]
* TheHeroDies: The Character who's the face of the game [[spoiler: ends up dead in Part 2 of the Act of Elimination via getting killed by the other Characters after she loses control of herself.]] However...
** NotQuiteDead: The clip shown at the end of that same chapter has a [[TheStinger stinger]] where during [[spoiler:The Three Little Pigs/Queen Nightmare]]'s soon-to-be destruction of the world, there's a shot of her arm... with the Lifeforce on it crackling like electricity. Nothing is known about what that means, though...
* HeroesPreferSwords: She's the protagonist and main postergirl of the game, and is mainly associated with the Breaker (swordswoman) class. She favours katanas, signifying her samurai-like devotion to her mission.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Her Reality version uses one. In the live-action CM, Reality version Alice is walking to the edge of a building, ignoring her surroundings, very likely planning [[DrivenToSuicide to jump]].
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Alice's attachment and relationship with her Author is hinted to be motivated by this according to her Sorcerer weapon lore.
* IOweYouMyLife: This is Alice's reason to keep on fighting for her Author. She'll do anything for his sake since she's alive because of him.
* {{Joshikousei}}: What she was in the Act of Reality. Her Alternative class's outfit, which is her in her school uniform, comes with glowing [[PowerGivesYouWings wings]] and a glowing {{BFS}}.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Alice's feelings toward her Author are hinted to be this in her Sorcerer class story.
** Her Half-Nightmare spear lore has a [[spoiler:metaphorical story of a man and a woman in an affair, where the woman knew of the man's dishonesty yet she chose to deceive herself to please both of them. Left with nothing of what made her special, she clung to the man for dear life]].
** [[spoiler: Her Act of Reality story basically confirms this, as both stories allude to her relation with her sensei.]]
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler: When cut down, her pieces reform as copies of her and go on a rampage. It's the job of the other characters to take them out before they get killed again.]]
* {{Meido}}: [[WordOfGod Jino]] commented that Alice's main class, Breaker, is designed with the idea of a maid-samurai combination.
* NeverGrewUp: Alice's Sorcerer main hand story states the reason why her Author put restraints on her [[spoiler:is because he feared the thought of seeing her grow into an adult]].
* NoNameGiven: Alice's Reality persona is never named, and in the manga whenever other characters call her by name it is blanked out with Alice simply written on top.
* NotSoStoic: Reality!Alice loses it in the Act of Elimination following the events of the Act of Fusion when she arrives at her sensei's apartment... only for him to be [[spoiler: killed beforehand by Library!Alice]]. [[spoiler: Library!Alice]] on the other hand [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care]].
** On the other hand Library!Alice gets thoroughly pissed when [[spoiler: her Author CameBackWrong, later declaring her intentions to kill everything on sight because she believed that Parrah and Noya lied to her about his revival.]]
** PlayedForLaughs during ''[[Creator/{{Sanrio}} A Fluffy Encounter]]'' event where she's her usual stoic self... while cuddling Cinnamoroll a bit too tightly. [[spoiler: During her 'cuteness withdrawal' at the end of the event, she's lost quite a lot of sleep due to the lack of 'cuteness' the Sanrio Characters evoke]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Chapter 4 of the Act of Elimination reveals that [[spoiler: Alice's price she had to pay for her new powers was the inability to control them.]]
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her Reality version gives her these.
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler: The twist to Alice's new powers gained during the Act of Elimination was that she can't control them.]]
* ThePromise: The Tome of Bondage's weapon story states that she made numerous promises with her Author [[spoiler:even though she's aware that he broke them. Yet she still keeps making more promises, otherwise she won't have a place in his heart]].
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: As the title of the game suggests, she's the lead character of the story, and starts out as a stoic warrior who's very mission-focused but not especially cruel or malicious, and is capable of the odd PetTheDog moment. The problem is that her quest requires more and more extreme brutality and treachery, and she ''just doesn't stop'', gradually grinding away all her humanity to become a simple, remorseless killing machine. [[spoiler:Then she wins, gets given a grotesque parody of what she thought she was fighting for, and snaps completely, becoming an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac and the new BigBad.]]
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler: Goes on a killing spree after cutting down her author who CameBackWrong. The other Characters, having been brought back by Parrah and Noya, have to put her down before she causes another apocalypse.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning / SupernaturalGoldEyes: Either, depending on her character portrait and maybe the lighting. [[spoiler:Played straight with her Half-Nightmare class]].
* SecurityBlanket: Carries one in her Child class arts and refuses to put it down. In battle stages, she wears it like a cape.
* SignatureHeadgear: She wears a blue hairband, with two long ribbons of flames. It borders on AnimalEaredHeadband, being a reference to the White Rabbit's ears.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: As of Chapter 4 of the Act of Elimination, Alice is the only character left alive. A bit downplayed if the end of Chapter 5 is any indication where Snow White can be heard...]]
* TheStoic: Described as "a silent blade", signifying her concept.
* TeenPregnancy: [[spoiler:Due to her relationship with her sensei, which causes him to leave her.]]
* {{Underboobs}}: Her Sorcerer class has them peeking out of her top.
* UndyingLoyalty: Her ultimate reason to keep butchering Nightmares.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: 'Used to be' isn't quite the right way to put it, given that it's the result of a BabyMorphEpisode, but when she's turned into an infant in the Sanctuary of Children's Song event, she grows into a shy but gentle and affectionate child with a close bond with her adoptive mother Cinderella. It's quite a change from the icy, ruthless {{Determinator}} she usually is.

-->"I will live my life with a conscience as clean as the pure driven snow that falls from the sky."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
On the day of the wedding between the Prince and Literature/SnowWhite her mother, the Evil Queen, was invited. Despite all that the Queen had done, Snow White still forgave her mother. But the Evil Queen repaid this forgiveness by murdering the Prince, driving Snow White to kill her. Since then, Snow White has become a firm believer in punishing evil. She wants to revive her authors due to a personal debt, in that she owes her existence to the Grimm Brothers' lives.\\\
Her Concept is "Justice"[[labelnote:JP]]正義/seigi[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbusiveParents: Her mother is the Evil Queen but she wasn't always bad. Her obsession with beauty eventually drove Snow White into running away from home. Snow White even knowingly eats the poisoned apple in hopes that doing so might return the Queen to her kind self.[[spoiler: Subverted by the reveal in her Paladin class story. See SoBeautifulItsACurse.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: She has white hair, whereas in the fairy tale Snow White has ebony hair. Averted with her Reality Arc counterpart who has the same ebony hair as the fairy tale Snow White.
* AntiVillain: As mentioned above, the nature of their quest and their willingness to engage in it makes any playable character a VillainProtagonist, but Snow has the most doubts about her mission, feels the most guilt about it, and is the most willing to do good and show kindness where she can. During the ''LightNovel/ReZero'' crossover event, Parrah and Noya specifically complain that she's not very good at being bad. [[spoiler:Her Library version's lack of conviction eventually gets her killed.]]
* ArmourPiercingQuestion: A spectacular one delivered by Reality Snow White towards her Library counterpart in the Act of Elimination:
-->'''Library Snow:''' My justice is for my masters.\\
'''Reality Snow:''' Then what if your masters are evil?
** Library Snow's failure to answer that question plays a key part in [[spoiler: her demise against Reality Snow.]]
* BattleButler: Gets a Butler class for the ''[[Manga/BlackButler Endless desire...~A Butler Crosses the Threshold~]]'' event alongside Aladdin who reuses his Halloween class.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After returning to the Library during ''[[LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime Lullaby of Reincarnation]]'', the sole reason why Alice and Snow White decided to go back to the world Parrah and Noya had them reincarnate as monsters in despite hating their reincarnated bodies was simply because Shizu was very kind to them despite their faults.
* BedlahBabe: Her Gunner class looks as if it takes heavy inspiration from a belly dancer aesthetic.
* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: Most of her outfits reflect this. [[spoiler: On her wedding day, she was splattered in the blood of the Prince and the Evil Queen.]]
* ConceptsAreCheap: An in-universe example. Library Snow White's use of the word 'justice' soon slips into this as she finds herself defending the indefensible more and more often, going from a developed ideology to a security blanket to keep her going. [[spoiler:This proves her undoing when she goes up against her Reality version, who has much more self-awareness, conviction, and tolerance for necessary evil.]]
* ContraltoOfDanger: As the resident LadyOfWar, she's got the deep, authoritative voice of a warrior-aristocrat, although her SanitySlippage and frequent NotSoStoic moments give her a more variable register than, say, Cinderella.
* DeadlyDoctor: In her Act of Reality, [[spoiler:she is a nurse, Yukishita Miki, who secretly poisons several patients whom she viewed as criminals and bad people. She ends up killed by Akiyoshi Yura, a possible ancestor of [[VideoGame/{{Nier}} Masayoshi Yura]], out of revenge for one of her victims]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She's the main postergirl of the game alongside Alice, gets almost as much screentime in events, and [[spoiler:ends up as the leader of LaResistance after Alice completes her ProtagonistJourneyToVillain]].
* EatenAlive: She was supposed to kill Nutcracker and inherit his powers and memories, therefore using the information gathered from there to formulate a plan to stop Parrah and Noya. Thanks to them [[spoiler: hijacking Nutcracker's body and regressing his sentience, she suffers this fate and has her powers absorbed by him instead.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: According to the Paladin job story, even a maid had impure thoughts about Snow White.
* {{Expy}}: She shares a similar moral pride and white color palette with [[Videogame/Drakengard3 One]].
* FallenHero: Before she came to the Library, Snow White was a ruthless but fair, effective, and principled enforcer of justice, and a genuine force for good. Reconciling that with her profoundly unjust quest to resurrect her authors through the mass sacrifice of sapient beings was... difficult.
* ForGreatJustice: She used to vanquish evil and deliver justice for the simple satisfaction of vanquishing evil and delivering justice, and that was also why she accepted the mission to revive her authors (seeing it as a fair reward for their efforts). Learning exactly how unjust this procedure would end up being was a key contributor to her SanitySlippage.
* TheHedgeOfThorns: Her Half-Nightmare job has this underneath her skirt.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She's the {{deuteragonist}} and enough of an AntiVillain that she's as close as the story comes to having a hero. She's most closely associated with the Breaker (swordswoman) job class, and favours European straightswords that match her noble, knightly demeanour.
* HiddenDepths: Her Taisho Roman class story reveals that she enjoys cooking as a hobby. During ''Creation of Sweets'', if the player chooses not to play as Hamelin, Kaguya or Sleeping Beauty, the side story featuring her and Little Match Girl shows that she's also one of many fans of the 'Hameln chocolates'.
* HornedHumanoid: In her [[spoiler: Alternative Ext.]] class, she gets a singular horn in the center of her forehead.
* IAmTheNoun: She stands in her belief that she herself is justice, thus having the authority to bring it.
** Her Half-Nightmare class takes her belief and everything that she vowed and declared regarding justice to [[UpToEleven a whole new level]].
* InSeriesNickname: Gets called 'Snow' by almost everyone.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: As stated by her quote above, she vowed to live up to her name by enforcing justice and rejecting anything that might corrupt her. She found it far more of a challenge than she hoped.
* KnightTemplar: Played with. She tends to talk about how she's the embodiment of justice, and her enemies are by definition evil, but it soon becomes clear that it's more of a coping mechanism than something she seriously believes, and she's desperate for any opportunity to show kindness or mercy. That said, her doubts and guilt are never quite enough to make her stop her mission... [[spoiler:until the Act of Elimination.]]
* LadyOfWar: Many of the playable characters fall into this territory to a greater or lesser extent, but she's the purest example. Most of her designs present her as a dignified and elegant warrior, and Jino commented on designing her to look like a monarch.
* TheLeader: [[spoiler: After being revived in Part 2 of the Act of Elimination, Snow White leads the other characters into taking out an out-of-control Alice before the latter causes TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]].
* MsExposition: Appears in Little Match Girl's chapter in Act of Elimination Part 2 to give her the rundown on what's going on.
* NeverMyFault: Snow White insists on her justice [[spoiler:even after killing the bird Nightmare and her children, claiming self-defense and to achieve her goal. It's clear that she doesn't really believe it, and the next chapter of her story consists of her fruitlessly searching for non-sapient nightmares to kill.]]
** Her Minstrel job lore even gives the idea that Snow White herself rarely reflects on her justice and believes that she's just as [[IAmTheNoun justice]] itself.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She declared that she forgave her mother, [[spoiler: who brandished a knife at her at that very moment, only to be protected by the prince, who died in her place. This results in Snow White killing her own mother and her resolve to correct the world]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: At the end of Chapter 5, after the DueToTheDead montage plays, Snow White's voice can be heard calling out to Alice, which means that it's either another version of Snow, or she somehow survived her Act of Elimination battle as well.]]
** Part 2 reveals that [[spoiler: she and the other Characters made a contract with Parrah and Noya to bring themselves back to life, and are now out to get rid of the Alice fragments that are rampaging in Reality.]]
* NotSoStoic: She puts a lot of work into being a calm, dignified paragon of justice, which means that most of her screentime involves her being bludgeoned by the weirdness and/or horror of the setting until her composure cracks and she loses her cool spectacularly.
** On a lighter note, after encountering [[spoiler: the ghost of a developer]] during ''Ultramarine Summer's Lament'', Alice saw that Snow had fainted, with Gretel poking her with a stick.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: It's implied that Reality Arc Snow White is working at the same hospital that Reality Arc Sleeping Beauty is hospitalized in.
* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler: Like Little Mermaid before her, Reality!Snow White gains an Ext. class, but sacrifices something in the process. In this case, it's her hearing.]]
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her [[spoiler: Alternative Ext. ]]class gives her a pair of red wings to go with the power boost.
* PrimAndProperBun: In all of her classes except for her Half-Nightmare, Alternative and [[spoiler: Alternative Ext.]] classes where she lets her hair down.
* PureIsNotGood: Her pure justice ideal leads to her zealotry.
* RedIsHeroic: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Her Lifeforce is red and her concept is befitting of a hero... except she's a tormented AntiVillain who uses the rhetoric of a KnightTemplar as a comfort blanket.
* SanitySlippage: She's a FallenHero trying to justify her DealWithADevil against her own conscience and sense of righteousness, and it's taking a tremendous toll on her mental state. Most of the time, she's barely holding it together, but it's becoming more and more difficult and she's having more and more moments of weakness.
* SinisterScythe: Her Paladin job main hand.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Played for laughs in her Cleric weapon story where Snow White is introduced to an erotic book about herself. [[spoiler: Played straight in her Paladin's job story. Snow White's beauty mesmerized everyone in her country and beyond it. Faced with the threat of a giant blood bath caused by her daughter, the Queen decided to go through with her plan to get rid of Snow White.]]
* SomethingAboutARose: All of her job designs have a rose present in one way or another.
* TheStoic: Like Alice, but in a more dignified way... most of the time. As the most moral and self-doubting of the protagonists, she's quite prone to NotSoStoic moments.
* TeamMom: Whenever she's with younger Characters such as Pinocchio in the ''Tsuri Star'' collaboration event and the first 2 Christmas events.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her gray eyes signify her purity and cold demeanor while the black colouring in them reflects the black flames of vengeance flickering within her. Her Half-Nightmare job has her eyes combine the colors of blue and purple.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: With the death of the prince at the hands of her mother, whom she forgave just before the murder,]] Snow White swore to never again show forgiveness and to correct the world with her justice.
* UndyingLoyalty: She regards her Author(s) as her Master(s) and it's for their sake that she swore her loyalty and to bring justice to them.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Reality!Snow White believed that if no one would do anything about the bad people in the hospital, she would have to do it herself. Unfortunately for her, once news of the poisoning incidents were released to the public, [[spoiler: everyone viewed her as a murderer.]] The good news, however, is that her own acceptance of herself as one of these makes her much more driven and emotionally stable than her Library self, [[spoiler:which is why she prevails in their Act of Elimination duel.]]
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: In her story, everyone wants her out of love and hate.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: When confronted by the children of a Nightmare bird she recently killed, Snow White snapped and proceeded to kill them in the name of her justice.]]

-->"Rubbing salt in people’s wounds is such fun."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EriKitamura
Literature/{{Cinderella}} isn't content with how her story went. [[{{Sadist}} There's more that she could've done.]] She wishes to revive her author so that he'll rewrite her story and crown her king.\\\
Her Concept is "Depravity"[[labelnote:JP]]卑劣/hiretsu[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbusiveParents: She's Cinderella. Her abuse at the hands of her WickedStepmother is a large part of what defines her. Notably, while it made her extremely cynical, cruel, and sadistic, she nevertheless turns out to be an excellent adoptive parent to any children she's required to take care of. It's never outright said that it's a reaction to her own childhood, but it's strongly implied.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the manga, while Reality!Cinderella's just as cruel to her subordinates, she's nicer outside of her yakuza work by saving Reality!Red Riding Hood from some thugs and later giving her food, money and shelter. In fact, Reality!Red Riding Hood is the only person she's ever nice to so far.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: While the story of Cinderella is known to be set in France, Cinderella's skin color here is to signify her name's meaning, ashen.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: While most of the cast remain oblivious to their vices, be it deliberately ignoring them or otherwise, Cinderella downright indulges in hers and makes no excuses for herself.
* AxCrazy: She's not as irrational as Gretel or as bloodthirsty as Red Riding Hood, but her sadism and aggression are firmly outside the conventional boundaries of sanity.
* BareYourMidriff: All of her job designs do this to a degree, except for Kimono.
* TheBaroness: An archetypal Sexpot - she's a CardCarryingVillain who's domineering, seductive, and an absolutely ferocious fighter.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Deconstructed. She comes from a story where this is literally and explicitly the case, and the shallow, arbitrary nature of it has made her extremely cynical about the concept of morality in general.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: To put it simply, this is the story where Cinderella decided to get revenge for all of her life's miseries rather than just enduring until she got her happy ending.
* TheCaligula: What she wants her author to rewrite her as.
* TheCameo: Cinderella appears twice in the MV for ''[[https://youtu.be/HCQQ98pJAhM Manic depression of the twin puppets]]'' - the first has her tell Noya to tone down his metal music, while the second has her clock him in the face with a Purification Nightmare in order to get him to shut up.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's the embodiment of Depravity, and she's completely open about it and comfortable with it. With this story being the DysfunctionJunction that it is, this actually makes her one of the more level-headed and perceptive cast members.
* CombatPragmatist: This is actually a major point of pride for her - intelligence, creativity, and determination are the only values she holds in any esteem, and honour and morality are simply signs that you're not interested enough in winning to deserve to win. When the two versions of her meet in the Act of Elimination, it soon becomes a contest to see which one can fight dirtier, sneakier, and more viciously than the other. [[spoiler:Library Cinderella wins.]]
* ContraltoOfDanger: As one might expect of TheBaroness, her voice is a low, throaty growl that's both seductive and threatening.
* ControlFreak: She may be an enthusiastically nasty piece of work, but this is one of her most tragic and sympathetic personality traits - she desperately craves power and agency after a lifetime of being wholly at the mercy of the cruelties and kindnesses of others.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' is this for her. While it also features Alice, Aladdin, Dorothy, and the Little Mermaid, it's mostly about her getting to be something other than a cackling CardCarryingVillain... and doing a surprisingly good job at it.
* DualWielding: Her Breaker class mainhand.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** She is one depraved woman, but even she gets unnerved by Gretel's unhinged behavior.
--->'''Cinderella:''' ''[to Gretel]'' Word of advice, sister. Seek help. Professional help.
** She's also greatly unnerved by [[spoiler:Reality Red Riding Hood's SanitySlippage as her battle with her is more akin to survival.]]
--->'''Cinderella:''' I prefer to play with someone less insane.
** When she's put in charge of children, she takes the responsibility extremely seriously. She's seen enough AbusiveParents for one lifetime.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: You wouldn't expect a ruthless CardCarryingVillain to be a 'World's Best Mom' candidate, but ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' shows that that's exactly what she is, and her adoptive children turn out remarkably healthy and well-adjusted as a result (to the point where [[spoiler:they're willing and able to bring her BackFromTheDead after she pulls off a HeroicSacrifice to defend them]]). It's implied, though not stated, that it's a reaction to her own experience with AbusiveParents.
* EvilSoundsDeep: The embodiment of Depravity has got the deepest voice of the female cast. See ContraltoOfDanger above.
* {{Expy}}: Of Yoko Taro's other brash, violent and foul-mouthed heroines, [[Videogame/{{Nier}} Kainé]] and [[Videogame/Drakengard3 Zero]]. The key difference is that rather than being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold like the characters she's inspired by, she's a gleefully sadistic VillainProtagonist for the most part.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Some of her job designs give this.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Snow White. Concept-wise, she is the depraved one against Snow White's righteous justice. The contrast extends to their respective color themes, with Cinderella being the ashen lady whereas Snow White is referred to as the white lady.
** To Aladdin. They're both members of the underclass who were elevated by random chance, are keenly aware of how lucky they got, and want to use their good fortune to seize control of their lives for once. The difference is that Aladdin is a hopeless romantic who wants to play UnclePennybags, while Cinderella is a selfish cynic who wants to become TheCaligula.
* GoodParents: ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' puts a murderous CardCarryingVillain in charge of four toddlers in an abandoned, Nightmare-infested city. Amazingly, she manages to rise to the challenge superbly, and even comes to enjoy it after a few years. [[spoiler:It ends in a KarmicJackpot when she and her kids are able to fend off Parrah and Noya's attempt to delete their world through HeroicWillpower and the PowerOfLove.]]
* GunsAkimbo: Her Gunner class mainhand, and what most of her weapons look like.
* HandCannon: Most of her Gunner class weapons are enormous pistols. Ironically, her Half-Nightmare gun is the furthest away from this trope due to being a literal example - it's an actual, handheld cannon straight off an Age of Sail galleon.
* TheHedonist: Living only for her own enjoyment is one of her staunchest principles - she's spent far too long living for the enjoyment of other people. In some ways, this makes her a bit less dangerous than similarly evil playable characters like Dorothy, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Little Mermaid - she may be a {{sadist}} who likes hurting people, but it's only one hobby she enjoys, and she has no great mission driving her to constantly make the world worse.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: It may take an excavation effort on the scale of the Kola Superdeep Borehole to find it, but it does exist. As the Sanctuary of Children's Song event demonstrates, you can put her in charge of a bunch of kids and just watch the magic happen.
** Cinderella develops a soft spot for Kuromi in ''[[Creator/{{Sanrio}} A Fluffy Encounter]]'', even willing to help her and her friends get back home despite questioning her younger compatriots when they fall for their cuteness.
* HornedHumanoid: [[spoiler: Grows a pair of horns as part of her Gunner Ext appearance in the Elimination Arc.]]
* HospitalHottie: Her motif in all non-event Cleric classes, although her Lustful Scorpion Cleric class appearance is more akin to a DeadlyDoctor.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her Minstrel mainhand is a... tuba minigun.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: After the abuse she went through in her story and how "pitiful" she is, Cinderella feels that she is beyond saving and that her heart will never heal. But she'll make everyone else hurt so much worse, since why should she be the only one to endure the pain?
** She also likes to gloat about how a lowly, dirty servant girl like her managed to woo the Prince and become the envy of everyone. The game even implies that she left behind her glass slipper on purpose just to have the Prince chase after her.
* InSeriesNickname: Parrah and Noya call her 'Cinders' in their introduction to the ''Incarnation of Envy'' event and certain chapters of her main story.
* {{Jerkass}}: She's a sadistic bully who takes pride and pleasure in breaking down other people's self-worth. Insults and mockery are her default form of social interaction.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eventually during ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' she's gotten attached to the kiddy versions of Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin, to the point where she gets a hefty dose of parental worries whenever they're in danger from Nightmares.
* KickTheDog: Finds great joy and amusement in inflicting pain to others. Taken literally in one of her weapon stories where she shot a hound that was following her around since she killed its parents.
* MamaBear: During the ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' event towards a Nightmare harming her 'kids' as she gets more attached to them:
-->'''Cinderella:''' What the hell are you doing to my ''chibi''?!
* MoreDakka: Oh yes, to a ridiculous level. As a [[TheBard Minstrel]], she has a ''minigun'' and she has [[ImprobableWeaponUser gun]] [[DropTheHammer hammers]] as a Crusher.
* MsFanservice: The cast is full of attractive and scantily-clad people, but Cinderella is especially noted for her beauty and especially willing to show it off, and her character art tends to be particularly provocative.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: [[spoiler: In her Gunner Ext job; her extra arms are made of her Lifeforce.]]
* TheNicknamer: Usually refers to her fellow characters by anything but their actual names.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: She's got a real complex about this - she's intensely aware that she spent most of her life as abused, disposable gutter trash, and owes her elevation to the random, arbitrary patronage of the powerful. It's why she's obsessed with grabbing every advantage she can and exploiting it for all it's worth - it's her way of gaining some control over her own life.
* PeekABangs: Her bangs cover the right side of her face.
* PrettyInMink: Her Reality job has her decked in a rather luxurious fur coat.
* ProudBeauty: She's intensely aware that her looks are the only thing that made her special and valuable in her original story, and enjoys and appreciates them as the one strength she has that's entirely her own.
* PuppetPermutation: Her Half-Nightmare job has her transformed into some sort of puppet that is chained up and missing its midsection.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her hips. Averted with her Reality version, whose hair is short.
* {{Revenge}}: She killed her stepmother and stepsisters for what they did to her, in a way that was "much too terrifying to speak of."
* RoseHairedSweetie: Inverted; she's very much ''not'' this, instead being a sadistic vengeance seeker.
* {{Sadist}}: Justified. She relishes in the pain of others as a way of relieving her own pain, which stems from the abuse she suffered from her step-family.
* SlasherSmile: She has a smile in every job illustration that sits somewhere along the spectrum between this and a GrinOfAudacity, save for Minstrel where her mouth is covered. Unless she does so underneath.
* StrugglingSingleMother: During the ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' event, Parrah and Noya assign her to care for the [[FountainOfYouth kidified]] Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin until their memories are restored. She reluctantly does so because there's no one else to do so and intends to use the memories of it to embarrass them after it's over and done but she slowly gets attached to the kids [[spoiler: and as a result, Parrah and Noya deemed the world they gave her to raise the kids in a failure]].
* SwissArmyWeapon: Her Crusher mainhand is a gatling-hammer-gun.
* TeamMom: Literally in the ''Sanctuary of Nursery Rhymes'' event for Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin when a Nightmare turns them into babies.
* UnkemptBeauty: She is, after all, Cinderella. She's always a ProudBeauty who dresses to show off her famous looks, but while some of her jobs show that SheCleansUpNicely, most of her portraits have her with wild, messy hair and ragged and singed (but obviously expensive) clothing.
* TheVamp: She's a CardCarryingVillain whose beauty is her most treasured weapon, and one she'll happily use to attain her goals (along with other, more traditionally lethal weaponry, of course).
* VillainousValour: One of her defining traits. She's always a bully but never a coward, and is happy to pit herself against impossible odds for the right to do as she pleases. In the extremely rare circumstance where she's given a reason to fight for a good cause, this becomes straightforward HeroicWillpower.
* WickedWitch: She's always got one foot in this trope (Gunner is the single-target magic damage class, and she's enthusiastically wicked), and will happily become a true example whenever one is called for. Her various Sorcerer and Minstrel classes are steeped in this trope, and she's the first in line to play the 'sinister mystic' role whenever an event story involves one.
* {{Yakuza}}: In the Act of Reality, she's the mistress of a yakuza officer who decides to make her own play for the leadership of the gang, and [[spoiler:ends up being killed by her own men after they become terrified of her brutal methods]].

-->"Look, Hansel… look at me… look only at me…"
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaUchida
Literature/HanselAndGretel have met with a terrible fate. Now Gretel is off to revive her author, with only her brother's head in a cage to accompany her. She doesn't really care about the author and is only going on her quest because Hansel told her to.\\\
Her Concept is "Delusion"[[labelnote:JP]]虚妄/kyomou[[/labelnote]].
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Gretel in the game itself is pretty much off their rocker like everyone else [[spoiler: though they end up going against the puppets in the Act of Elimination (Part 2)]], while their Reality counterpart is more grounded. In the manga however, [[spoiler: Reality!Gretel is in cahoots with Parrah and Noya as the 'Game Master', who's helping them 'balance' the game Alice and the others are involved in. What kind of powers the 'Power of Delusion' gives however is a mystery so far, and he isn't divulging the puppets on what role Reality!Sleeping Beauty is in with her own powers either.]]
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Oh, you have no idea. The person known as 'Gretel' is [[spoiler:a boy playing the role of a twin sister driven mad by the loss of the brother she had an incestuous crush on, because he himself was driven mad out of guilt and grief when he killed his insane sister who wanted to eat/have sex with him]]. Got all that?
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: In order to cope up with the death of his sister, Hansel took upon her identity, and ended up losing most of his own.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Gretel insists that her brother is alive, even though the head she's carrying is a big giveaway for everyone who sees it. She is, however, aware that he doesn't talk.
* BerserkButton: While Gretel mainly keeps what's on her mind to herself, poking around her brother is a sure way to trigger her violent urges caused by her traumatic memories.
* BladeOnAStick: Her Alternative class mainhand.
* BrokenBird: Traumatized by the disappearance of Hansel, Gretel has turned into an EmptyShell obsessed about her brother.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: Reality!Gretel seems to be this as [[spoiler: he sees his new powers gained in the Act of Fusion as a hidden potential which unlocked after his suffering in the Act of Reality]].
* CreepyCrossdresser: [[spoiler:Gretel's Cleric job lore notes that she is identified as the incorrect sex]].
* CrossPlayer: In Reality Arc, [[spoiler:Gretel is her game persona]].
* DeathOfPersonality: Currently attempting to invoke this. [[spoiler:Hansel is of the opinion that he doesn't deserve to live, but his sister does. '[[InsaneTrollLogic Logically]]', therefore, he needs to take on her personality and let her severed head actually be that of Hansel.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: How she died in Reality Arc.]]
* EmptyEyes: Cinderella, while thinking about bullying Gretel for fun, realizes just how broken Gretel is by looking at her eyes.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Once Gretel's [[spoiler: true identity]] is revealed, this trope is in play for Hamelin during the ''The Butlers' Feast'' and ''Ode to Sakura'' events, as well as [[spoiler: Oda Nobunaga of all people]] during the ''Wars of Fantasia'' event.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's the standard everyone else has. The entire cast, including the AxCrazy Red Riding Hood, the CardCarryingVillain Cinderella, and the gleefully sadistic Parrah and Noya, consider her extremely disturbing.
** When they meet in the Act of Elimination, even Reality!Gretel is disturbed by his Library counterpart.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Gretel's voice, while creepy, [[spoiler:actually sounds closer to a male than a female. Chapter 3 of Gretel's Act of Hatred reveals that the Gretel the player knew is actually Hansel and the disembodied severed head is Gretel's.]]
* FreakOut: Like her BerserkButton, Gretel doesn't take things well when her brother's safety is compromised, often blaming herself for everything bad that's happened to him, [[spoiler:including killing him]].
* {{Hikikomori}}: Her Reality persona.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Reality!Gretel is understandably disturbed by Library!Gretel and refers to her as a 'chuunibyou'. Despite behaving like one himself in the Act of Fusion.
* ImAHumanitarian: Gretel will quite often muse on the concept of eating her brother, calling him "very sweet". She even offers to let him do the same to her. [[spoiler:Hansel killed her because he thought she would make good on her threat - or possibly just rape him. It wasn't very clear, and he wasn't keen on either.]]
* ImaginaryFriend: Her Cleric class story has medical notes [[spoiler:on her having a fictitious sibling, a product of her mind]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: Her mind is utterly shattered, and her actions follow little, if any, coherent logic. Given that [[spoiler:she's a severely mentally ill person trying to imitate the personality of someone who was severely mentally ill in a completely different way]], trying to anticipate or understand her behaviour is generally an exercise in futility when you could simply be somewhere else instead.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: To be more precise, insane equals dangerously unpredictable. She's completely unmoored from reality, which means that there's no way to guess when or why she'll lash out in self-defence, enter a murderous rage, or otherwise choose violence - what she sees and how she responds has little-to-no bearing on what is actually there.
* InstitutionalApparel: For her Half-Nightmare class she is bound in a heavily stylized straitjacket. Fitting given the SuperpoweredEvilSide nature of Half-Nightmares.
* ItsAllMyFault / GuiltComplex: Gretel blames herself for what happened to her beloved brother, [[spoiler:something that was foreshadowed in her Crusher class story where Hansel blamed himself and promised to save his sister after hearing their parents' plan to abandon them]], and often wonders if her brother won't ever forgive her.
* KillAndReplace: A strange and largely unplanned example. [[spoiler:After Hansel killed his sister out of fear, he became so overwhelmed with guilt that he chose to take on her identity as atonement.]]
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Certain events such as the ''Men's Banquet of Idols'' White Day 2021 event have started to hint at Gretel's true nature - something that isn't revealed until Chapter 3 of her Act of Hatred.
* LossOfIdentity: Gretel's traumatic past left her psyche damaged enough [[spoiler:to actually deny her own true identity in order to escape her past]].
* MadnessMantra: Her Gunner class story is basically spelling out her obsession with her brother, her feelings for him and everything that has brought misery for the both of them. The actual text is... [[MotorMouth madly]] [[WallOfText long]]. [[spoiler: And if one looks at the text closely, one can notice that Gretel slips at one point, mentioning "sister" and "kill" instead of "brother" and "love"]].
* MirthlessLaughter: Gretel laughs when she eventually becomes aware that she's already broken [[spoiler:because she's not Gretel but Hansel himself]] in the 3rd chapter of the Act of Hatred.
* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: [[spoiler: In order to cope with the death of Gretel, and perhaps the fact that he may have been responsible, Hansel impersonates his sister.]]
* {{Narcissist}}: A bizarre and horrifying zig-zag. [[spoiler:Hansel killed his sister, assumed her identity, and made 'Gretel' passionately in love with her brother... and then it turns out that he killed her because he was frightened of her incestuous passion for him, and was just trying to take her identity and replicate her personality as a strange form of atonement.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: As far as she can recall, Gretel killed her parents for the sake of her brother.
* SelfServingMemory: Upon awakening in the Library, Gretel initially can't really recall what happened to her and isn't aware of who she is. As she proceeds, she only remembers that she has her brother with her and they've been having a lot of fun together. [[spoiler:This turns out to be her own version of how things happened, produced from her denial, her feelings for her brother and her hatred for their parents.]]
* ShesGotLegs: A number of class arts put an emphasis on Gretel's legs. To the point where [[CovertPervert Hameln]] wants Gretel to step on him, much to her disgust.
* SiblingIncest: Gretel is reeeaaally attentive to Hansel. While most of her [[InnerMonologue monologues]] are quite mild about her feelings, her Sorcerer job lore just [[ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument all but outright says it]]. [[spoiler:It's why Hansel killed her, since he was frightened of her {{Yandere}} attitude, although he was so overcome with guilt afterwards that he chose to replicate this part of his sister's personality as well.]]
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:'Gretel' is actually a personality created by Hansel in order to escape his traumatic memories and atone for killing his sister.]]
* SweetTooth: Gretel enjoys sweets with her brother, including her brother himself as she describes it.
* TalkativeLoon: She talks only to her brother's head, if Parrah and Noya aren't around giving information, and will not talk to anyone until they start to take her brother into the topic for any purpose.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler: Gretel's Breaker Ext. class is the only class whose weapon doesn't have 'Delusion' or its synonyms in its name; instead of being the 'Abyss of Delusion', it's called the 'Abyss of Singularity'.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:The person is Hansel. Gretel's head is in the cage. And Hansel might've been the one who killed Gretel, along with their parents.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: As the embodiment of Delusion, it should come as no surprise that what you see at first is not what you get with Gretel. There's a lot of white in her entry for a reason.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Many players assume that the mysterious new character in Act of Elimination Part 2 is Gretel, but both characters are listed separately, leading to questions on whether Gretel was one of the few characters who wasn't revived or if they will appear later.
** Chapter 5 of the Act of Elimination (Part 2) reveals that they are [[spoiler: the Masked Man who assisted Snow White and the others in killing the Alice fragments, and is also one of few characters openly opposing Parrah and Noya.]]
* {{Yandere}}: Gretel has a single-minded incestuous crush on Hansel, and will happily murder anything in sight to make him happy. Astonishingly, the fact that he's the severed head of her deceased brother isn't the most disturbing thing about this. [[spoiler:Hansel is actually the surviving twin, and is only acting out his sister's {{Yandere}} personality as atonement for murdering her out of fear.]]

Her body is still asleep, meaning she's unable to control her new powers [[spoiler: which causes instant death to anyone who approaches her]], and is constantly frightened because she's unsure of whether she's asleep, awake, alive or dead.
* BerserkButton: She really hates being woken up and is more than happy to give a death penalty to anyone who does so.
** Reality!Sleeping Beauty, [[spoiler: upon the death of her Library counterpart]], changes it to "anyone who sleeps when she can't will die".
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being one of the most peaceful members of the cast, she will not hold back if you dare get in the way of her nap. The prince learned it the hard way, and [[HorrifyingTheHorror even Parrah and Noya are frightened]].
* BludgeonedToDeath: [[spoiler: After her efforts to get a good night's sleep were AllForNothing, seeing Library!Sleeping Beauty manage to sleep soundly causes Reality!Sleeping Beauty to [[SlainInTheirSleep snap and crush her skull]].]]
* ChildrenAreAWaste: Relating to her unwanted marriage in her Paladin job lore, [[spoiler:Sleeping Beauty gave birth to two children and considered giving them to either a white wolf, a witch or a monster. They eventually got devoured by her husband's mother.]]
* CoolCrown: Wears one as part of her Half-Nightmare and [[spoiler:Alt. Half]] class appearances. The crown is actually part of her Nightmare self's head. She gets a fancier one for her Grand Prix (R03) class as part of her victory in the 2021 Popularity Poll.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: In ''A Fluffy Encounter'', while she questions if the Creator/{{Sanrio}} Characters are a new breed of Nightmare, she's the first to stop Alice, Red Riding Hood and Cinderella from harming them because "they're way too cute to be Nightmares". Everyone agrees and start fawning over their cuteness instead, making a DeclarationOfProtection of the Sanrio Characters/Fluffies until they get home safely.
* DeathSeeker: Poor Reality!Sleeping Beauty is this in the Act of Fusion due to [[spoiler: being brought back to life but unable to control her sleeping body, killing everyone while asleep and unable to find her parents. No wonder she kept asking Reality!Alice to put her out of her misery.]]
** She gets her wish in a very depressing matter [[spoiler: courtesy of Library!Alice]] in Part 1 of the Act of Elimination.
* DubNameChange: From Briar Rose [[labelnote:JP]]いばら姫/Ibara-hime; Thorn Princess[[/labelnote]] in the Japanese server to Sleeping Beauty in both the Taiwanese[[labelnote:CN]]睡美人/shuìměirén[[/labelnote]] and Global servers.
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Carries a plush doll in all of her Classes except for her Half-Nightmare and Reality Jobs. Said plushie is also dressed according to the Class in question.
** It even becomes a GuardianEntity for her [[spoiler: Crusher Ext. class, even if it wasn't able to protect her in the end]].
* {{Expy}}: She shares common points with [[Videogame/{{GuiltyGear}} Bedman]]. Both are young children related to the theme of sleep and fight with the help of a MiniMecha.
* FlowerMotifs: Her Japanese name and several class designs put emphasis on roses.
* TheHedgeOfThorns: The prominent element of her designs as [[MeaningfulName a part of her name]] and a reference to the forest of thorns that surrounded Sleeping Beauty's castle to prevent the princes from reaching her. It's also the thing that keeps her standing while sleeping.
* IllGirl: Her Act of Reality self was hospitalized. [[spoiler: Her Alternative class story reveals that she had been comatose for a while]].
* LazyBum: Her quotes say it all; she has her own motivations yet is also too sleepy to take any action. It takes [[CuteAndPsycho Red Riding Hood]] to keep her awake out of fear of being killed while she's asleep.
* LotusEaterMachine: Basically what she wants her Author to convert her story into. Her dreams are so much more fun and free from the troubles that come from being awake, her bed so soft and comfortable, that she doesn't want to return to reality ever again.
* LyricalDissonance: Her Breaker main hand lore has her lullaby for her children [[spoiler:containing her thoughts to whom she'll give them up]].
* MiniMecha: Her briars usually take the form of a hulking battlesuit which cradles her sleeping body while striking down anything in its way.
* MotivatedByFear: During her cross story with Red Riding Hood, it's the first time Sleeping Beauty keeps awake because Red Riding Hood outright tells her that she'll give Sleeping Beauty an eternal slumber if she falls asleep again.
* MundaneUtility: The ''Autumn Feast of Abundance'' event shows her use her briars to help with the farm work, so that she can continue sleeping. She's incredibly proud of it too, since it speeds up the process much faster than planting the rice by hand like how Alice and Pinocchio are doing.
* NoodleIncident: Sleeping Beauty reveals during the ''Creation of Sweets'' event that Aladdin, aside from telling her about [[{{Narcissist}} Hamelin]], taught her the business jargon she uses during the event when dealing with the companies she and Kaguya worked with to manufacture the Hamelin chocolates. However, when and how they met is not known to the player.
* OnlySaneWoman: During the ''End of the Moonlight'' event, where she begrudlingly goes along with Kaguya and Red Riding Hood's shenanigans in preventing the moon's collapse on Earth.
* PassedInTheirSleep: Reality!Sleeping Beauty's fate in the Act of Reality. In the most depressing manner possible: [[spoiler: her coma caused her to lose so much weight and her muscles weakened so badly, her doctors and parents had no choice but to let her sleep... forever.]]
* PetTheDog: She may be a SpoiledBrat and LazyBum most of the time, but she's surprisingly kind, supportive, and understanding when she discovers that Snow White's trauma-induced nightmares make her incapable of enjoying sleep like she does. Neither of them are able to fix the problem, but they part on fond terms at the end of their crossover chapter.
* PowersDoTheFighting: The shadowy briars she's always lying in are what do the fighting for her, so she can continue sleeping.
* PowerFloats: Her Sorcerer job artwork invokes this.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Oh, so very much. Her ultimate goal is to sleep forever and prefers the dream world compared to the real world. And woe betides anyone who dares to give her a RudeAwakening (except for Red Riding Hood).
** This extends to her Reality self as well, but unlike her Library counterpart, Reality!Sleeping Beauty feels slightly guilty about it [[spoiler: due to her sleeping illness making her parents worried]].
* ShoutOut: Her Paladin job story references ''Literature/SunMoonAndTalia'', which is considered another version of Sleeping Beauty, in mentioning her having two children while still under the curse.
* SleepyHead: Exaggerated. The only thing she wants to do is sleep [[spoiler:so much that she's unhappy with the prince and her children, wanting to have nothing to do with them]] as her sole motivation and final goal in killing Nightmares.
* SpoiledBrat: She's a child raised in the lap of luxury, and has little patience for the wants or desires of 'commoners' - particularly if they might interrupt her sleep.
* ThisIsADrill: Her Paladin job design has her thorns wield [[DualWielding a pair]] drill-like thorn lances.
* UnwantedSpouse: According to her Paladin job lore, she's married to the prince and it's questionable on [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil how they met]] or [[BerserkButton if she's truly happy with him waking her up in the first place]].

-->"One, two, three, four… and I can still kill many more…!"
-->'''Voiced by:''' Ayaka Imamura (2017-2018), Creator/RikaTachibana (2018-present)
When Literature/LittleRedRidingHood was eaten by the Wolf and saved by the Woodsman, she was disappointed. She had wanted to play with the Wolf some more. She wants to play with her Grandma and the Woodsman too, but if she killed everyone then the story will end and she'd have nothing else to do. So she wants to resurrect her author, to have him continue writing the story so she can keep playing forever. She might even want to kill her author too.\\\
Her Concept is "Brutality"[[labelnote:JP]]暴力/bouryoku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguousInnocence: She's usually one of the most childlike of the playable characters, and her love of violence usually comes across as the whims of a child who likes breaking their toys, but she's also got a bit of InterplayOfSexAndViolence going on, and has the occasional flash of malevolent intelligence that makes the player wonder how childish she really is.
* AndCallHimGeorge: Exaggerated. All she wants to do is play with her friends, and she's extremely disappointed when they stop screaming and struggling.
* AnimalMotif: Wolves, as a design element featured in her Reality and Half-Nightmare classes.
* AxCrazy: Takes this trope to its absolute extreme. The only way she ever really wants to interact with another living being is by inflicting horrific, nauseating violence upon it until it stops twitching.
* BigDamnHeroes: Of all people to come to the rescue during the ''[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Fragment of a Nightmare]]'' event, [[spoiler: Parrah and Noya summon her to save the story after Aladdin dies and Pinocchio succumbs to Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. She then proceeds to chase after [[spoiler: Hanyu, who presented herself as Oyashiro-sama]].
* BloodKnight: Absolutely loves killing and fighting, even when (especially when) her opponent is a shadowy copy of herself.
* {{Bokukko}}: Uses 'boku' to refer to herself.
* CarryABigStick: Her base weapon is a huge mace-like weapon.
* CheerfulChild: She's the most lively character of the cast while also relishing in violence. Her Reality version, however, [[AvertedTrope doesn't smile]].
* CombatSadomasochist: To horrifying degrees in her Half-Nightmare job story. [[spoiler:Her Half-Nightmare story has Red Riding Hood herself disembowel and hurt herself but she enjoys it ''all the same'']].
* CreepyChild: An angelic young girl with AmbiguousInnocence whose favourite hobbies are murder and torture. This one really goes without saying.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: She's a cute young girl with an appropriately squeaky voice. She's also a strong candidate for the most evil and monstrous of the playable characters, and whenever she has something to say, it will usually be horrifying.
* TheDreaded: A lot of the playable characters have dark reputations in-story, but hers is by far the darkest. Unsurprisingly, nobody wants to spend a moment more in the presence of the embodiment of Brutality than is strictly necessary.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Some of her job costumes veer into this.
* {{Expy}}: Her love of violence and killing just about makes her one for [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Caim]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: See IJustWantToHaveFriends. To her, 'friend' and 'torture victim' are the same concept, and it should go without saying that nobody she meets is remotely interested in being her friend.
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: To say the least, any of her job weapons are these in association to her concept. Even the seemingly harmless tome that she wields as a Sorcerer is titled "Tome of Violence", which is a strong indicator for what's written inside.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: She's often on the lookout for new friends to play with during her travels, be they Nightmares or fellow Characters. Unfortunately for them, her idea of playing involves their violent demises, hence her wish for her Author to write her more durable playmates.
* ImAHumanitarian: She doesn't have the Horrorhunger of the Three Little Pigs, but she's willing to eat both people and nightmares, and doesn't particularly mind if they're alive or dead at the time.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Despite her childish innocence, her 'play' often has a creepy sexual tinge. The scene where she meets and butchers her Nightmare self early in the story, for instance, is written like she's discovering masturbation.
* InTheHood: According to one of her job stories, the people of her town wore red to protect them from the shadows of the forest and the Beast of Night, explaining her red hood.
* ImprobableWeaponUser / ShovelStrike: Her Alternative class has a shovel as her weapon. Ridiculous? Well according to history, shovels were often used as a weapon in [=WW1=] and [=WW2=]. It's both effective and handy.
* LaughablyEvil: This is, after all, a Yoko Taro story, and her incessant, single-minded bloodlust is played for humour almost as often as horror.
* LittleDeadRidingHood: Inverted. She's the one who'll do the killing.
* LittleRedFightingHood: And does she love it.
* LivingClothes: Her Sorcerer job outfit shows signs of it with two giant arms coming from her own cloak.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: One of her battle quotes is "Scream some more!".
* {{Nekomimi}}: Becomes a glowing one in her Reality version.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Suffice to say, she simply doesn't seem to understand just how horrific her actions are to those that see her. Best exemplified in the Manga where she talks about how nice it is to meet Snow White again and how nostalgic it is, all while caving in her face and breaking her limbs one by one.
* NunsAreSpooky: Her purchase-only Cleric job reflects on this.
* OneManArmy: Notable for being the only character who's also this in their Reality persona before coming into contact with the Library. When a yakuza clan attempts to avenge their boss after she kills him, it takes several squads of goons to mortally wound her (not kill her, it should be stressed - she dies of blood loss several hours after fighting her way out).
* ProfessionalKiller: In the Act of Reality, she's a street kid who became a notorious assassin.
* PsychoForHire: Her Reality version is a textbook example - she became an assassin both to earn a living and to slake her endless thirst for blood. Her Library version doesn't have a job, per se, seeing as she's a supernatural being on a mystical quest, but she's got the basic mindset - it's incredibly easy to recruit her for just about any task so long as she gets to hurt people.
* RedIsViolent: Exaggerated. She's the embodiment of Brutality, and her hood is stained red from the blood of her victims.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in her Wrath Wolf Half-Nightmare class where the red is replaced with blue, but she's still just as, if not even more violent once the spirit in question has full influence on her.
* {{Sadist}}: Again, she's the embodiment of Brutality. Violence is her greatest pleasure, and her AmbiguousInnocence often makes it unclear whether it's a childish hobby, a sexual fetish, or some unholy midway point between the two. As she puts it, "Fun is pain! Pain is fun! Isn't it wonderful?"
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Following the death of Library!Red Riding Hood, whom she considered a friend, the hitherto slightly saner Reality!Red Riding Hood starts going over the edge, causing her to transform into her Alt. Half form.]]
** It gets worse in Part 2 where not only is she ''even more unhinged'' than before, she's also [[spoiler: talking to an ImaginaryFriend or a voice in her head which may or may not be the cause of her evolution into her Alternative Ext. form.]]
* TokenWholesome: While it's rare for 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'wholesome' to go together in the same sentence, she's generally one of the most modestly-dressed of the playable characters. It's mostly to emphasise her childish appearance and personality, but several of her outfits have her go a step further and demonstrate her BloodKnight cred by wearing actual armour.
* TooManyBelts / ChainedByFashion: A lot of her outfits have a lot of belts and/or chains. Special mention goes to all those straps on her red hood.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: She's one of the most childlike playable characters in both appearance and personality. She's also an AxCrazy SerialKiller whose horrific acts often have a disturbing InterplayOfSexAndViolence. 'Troubling' doesn't even begin to cover it.

-->"To suffer at the hands of a strong person is my ideal."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto
The Bamboo Princess from the Japanese folktale ''Literature/TheTaleOfTheBambooCutter''. Kaguya dislikes being pampered like the princess everyone sees her as. It's her belief that a princess should serve the people, not the other way around. She wants to be tormented by someone stronger than her, and who else is stronger but her author?\\\
Her Concept is "Masochism"[[labelnote:JP]]被虐/higyaku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Most of her job outfits sports this, emphasizing her sexual nature.
* AllMenArePerverts: Many of the men who came to court her would look at her lustfully, something Kaguya enjoyed since she yearns to be dominated by a man stronger than her.
* ApologeticAttacker: She feels bad for killing the Nightmares and even sheds a few tears, but it's only because they don't put up a good enough fight to actually hurt ''her''.
* BedlahBabe: As part of the World/International class series, she's dressed as one.
* BlindfoldedVision: For her Minstrel job she dons a blindfold.
* BoobsOfSteel: She probably has the largest bust size of the cast, along with Dorothy.
* CovertPervert: Kaguya developed a masochistic streak as a result of her being raised by an old couple and detachment of any kind of relationships outside her family. At its peak, Kaguya only came to realize this tendency when she became aware of the lords' lustful gazes upon her.
* CombatSadomasochist: Well, combat masochist. She doesn't like hurting people, but she does like being hurt, and recognises that starting fights is one of the best ways to make people want to hurt her.
* CursedWithAwesome: Her Paladin class story tells us that her existence is a blessing to her parents yet she terrifies other people. Also, her divine, incorruptible might is the one thing she really doesn't want to have.
* DeathSeeker: Sort of. It's not so much that she explicitly wants to die - it's just that the extreme levels of pain /pleasure she seeks are pretty much guaranteed to kill her, and she doesn't mind. [[spoiler:Every time any version of Kaguya ends up having her desires satisfied, it ends up proving lethal.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Upset that Library!Kaguya died with satisfaction first and about her newfound SuperToughness, she crosses this and starts turning into a Nightmare when even Reality!Dorothy's science equipment fails to cut her.]]
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: She never realized how strong she actually is, as she had never wielded a weapon before she goes to resurrect her Author. Due to that, she usually ends up killing Nightmares that she thought would be able to hurt her, much to her chagrin.
* DoomedProtagonist: As her Sorcerer job lore states, for her to be born into the unclean earth, Kaguya is doomed to come in contact with worldly desires. Of course, from her perspective, her problem is that she isn't doomed ''enough''.
* ExtremeLibido: Of the masochistic variant. Pain is pleasure, pleasure is pain, and she wants all that the world can give her.
* TheHedonist: She's no VisionaryVillain - all she wants is pain/pleasure extreme enough to finally, completely satisfy her. Unfortunately, being a PhysicalGod with IncorruptiblePurePureness makes this very difficult indeed.
* HeelRealization: During the first arc, she realizes the Nightmares are too weak to fulfill her wish, leading to her realizing that her Author is the only one who can. With this comes the realization that she's not as innocent as she initially thought and that she's going to have to kill everyone to fulfill her wish.
* HotTeacher: Her Reality self's day job is a teacher.
* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: She regretted not choosing any of the lords who proposed to her and imagined how wonderful it would have been to suffer at their hands, as she never wishes to return to the moon.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Tends to express herself with moans when she gets particularly aroused over something, with the most notable example being [[spoiler: her Library self getting the satisfaction she desires at the end of the fight against her Reality self]]. It's even lampshaded on the story itself, where it explicitly uses the term "orgasm".
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her top shows off quite a bit of her cleavage and her shoulders.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Deconstructed. Her divine incorruptibility made earthly corruption the only thing she was interested in and the only thing she couldn't obtain, eventually resulting in her going on a murderous rampage to find someone, anyone, capable of hurting and defiling her.
* InLoveWithLove: Kaguya later resolved to endure all forms of pain to learn about love, for the world is filled with pain that is "love". She likes the idea of being in a relationship more for the sake of fulfilling her masochistic tendencies rather than actually wanting to be with someone, possibly because she thinks that being hurt means being loved.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: See every other trope in her entry. She's the embodiment of capital-M Masochism, and sees no separation whatsoever between the two concepts. [[spoiler: The fight between her Library and Reality selves basically embodies this trope, as they get increasingly aroused as the fight goes on.]]
* KimonoIsTraditional / PimpedOutDress: Her Paladin design reflects on her being the only character from a Japanese 'fairytale'.
* LittleBlackDress: Wears a pretty revealing one in the Act of Reality.
* MsFanservice: Her character concept is 'supernaturally beautiful masochistic nymphomaniac', and it shows, as the art team tend to put her in suitably outrageous outfits and her lines often lend to being suggestive, if not outright sexual. Her Reality is also one of those that have explicitly sexual theme in the form of BDSM prostitution.
* NaginataAreFeminine: As a warped take on the YamatoNadeshiko trope, she's naturally heavily associated with the Paladin (spearwoman) class, and her unique spears are all naginatas.
* {{Necromancer}}: Her Sorcerer class's lore and design reflect on this.
** Her Cleric weapon story has her dabbling in necromancy, in hopes of finding someone who was able to hurt her. She didn’t succeed.
* OrgasmicCombat: Or, at least, she would very much like her combat to be orgasmic. As a permanently unfulfilled masochist, her battlefield chatter is extremely suggestive and sometimes downright has her getting aroused. [[spoiler:This is exemplified when the Library and Reality selves face off against each other.]]
* PrettyInMink: Kaguya's dress in her Paladin and Cleric classes sport a lion head decoration at the back, the mane becoming the fur design around her neckline.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Under the influence of the [[spoiler: Gluttonous Tiger spirit]] after accepting its power.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Many of her class portraits incorporate bones and/or [[NothingButSkulls skulls]] into her clothes and weapons.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Fitting for a MsFanservice character, some of her job outfits have her dressed in the bare minimum, such as her Proud Lion Breaker. Perhaps one of the most iconic example for this is her Travelers job, where she's only haphazardly wrapped in ribbons and is wearing ''nothing'' underneath.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: Kaguya wishes and expects to be defeated and violated by the Nightmares but as she begins to adapt in battle, she finds out that her body is strong and her mind is unshaken.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: She refuses to be called a pervert/nymphomaniac, despite her masochistic tendencies.
* SuperToughness: Reality!Kaguya's new ability in the Act of Elimination, where her skin is so durable it breaks the tools Reality!Dorothy was using to get a blood sample. Since she's a masochist, she hates it, and it [[spoiler:leads to her crossing the DespairEventHorizon and undergoing Nightmarification.]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: Taken to a pretty far extreme. She enjoys pain ''too'' much, to the point that it defines her desire to resurrect the Author. She even actively tries to find someone who will torment her during her quest, whatever that is.
** Her desire branches from physical pain to mental pain, and later comes to associates love with pain itself.
* TooMuchAlike: With Pinocchio. They both want someone else to control them and are indecisive, so much of their crossover story is them asking "I don't know, what do you want to do?" back and forth.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Jino commented that Kaguya is designed as an Oiran, a Japanese courtesan, which reflects her Reality self's 'other' job.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Submissive, demure and certainly not a pushover, but that last bit is what Kaguya's upset about. She wants to be an ExtremeDoormat.

-->"I’m not too good at deciding things on my own."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoSanpei
The puppet that came to life from ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'', he's been having a tough time suddenly having free will. He wants to resurrect Carlo Collodi, since the Author is the one who dictates everything that happens in the story, so he'd be the best one to tell Pinocchio what to do.\\\
His Concept is "Dependence"[[labelnote:JP]]依存/izon[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Pinocchio is a doll turned human who struggles to make a decision on his own, relying instead on others to give him orders. [[spoiler:In Chapter 4 of his Act of Impulse, Pinocchio realizes that he doesn't remember becoming a real little boy while his staff exhibits all traits associated to his doll self (foul mouthed, mean, nose growing when lying). Pinocchio's concept art hints at the fact that the staff might be the real Pinocchio, which is confirmed in the Act of Elimination Part 2 when his staff first latches on to a passing Nightmare and then forces a fusion with Cinderella.]]
* ButtMonkey: Due to his ExtremeDoormat personality, he is often toyed with by people like Cinderella or his own staff. This extends to the collaboration event with Tsuri Star where he becomes the DamselInDistress at some point, needing Snow White to save him.
* DirtyCoward: He may come across as endearingly pathetic much of the time, but make no mistake - he's a VillainProtagonist like everyone else. In his case, it's because he's such an ExtremeDoormat that he'll cooperate in the most gruesome evil and depravity purely so that he doesn't have to deal with the pressure of making his own decisions. [[spoiler:Given the hints that his staff is actually his SplitPersonality, this goes one layer deeper - he basically gave himself dissociative identity disorder in order to abdicate responsibility for following his own dark impulses.]]
* DisappearedDad: Geppetto has gone missing, as well as other characters from the story. The Cricket refuses to talk about the puppet to avoid going missing too.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Some of his designs enforce this, particularly his Paladin job. His Reality Arc appearance has him disguise himself up as a girl.
* {{Expy}}: Pinocchio's situation in the Act of Reality mirrors that of Nagisa Shiota from ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom''. Both are boys whose mothers wanted a daughter but because they were born male, tried to control every aspect of their lives by treating them as though they were girls instead. However, while Nagisa managed to resolve his issues with help from his classmates in Class E and Koro-sensei, Pinocchio, unfortunately, didn't have that same happy ending [[spoiler: with him [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide in the end]]]].
* ExtremeDoormat: He has trouble making decisions on his own, so he wants someone else to decide for him.
-->"It is a puppet's fate to bend to the will of others. I may be a real boy now, but I still need someone to pull strings."
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: Pinocchio's staff does this to Cinderella, taking over her body with his Lifeforce. At the end of his fight with the Nutcracker, it gathers the remains of the two and fuses them into 1 body.]]
* GreenThumb: His power in the manga, which he uses to grow a tree from a single branch in order to save Alice.
* LivingWeapon: His staff, which has a face and its own will, dragging Pinocchio around to get him to kill the nightmares. However, it stops talking when there are other people around.
* MonsterClown: Becomes this after Harley Quinn and Catwoman doll him up and turn him into a second Joker in ''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Villainy, Justice and Forgery]]''. [[spoiler: The Joker himself isn't fond of it, since Joker!Pinocchio's brand of evil is merely a bad mimicry of his own chaos.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother in the Reality Arc is downright [[AbusiveParent abusive]]. Unfortunately, their dependence on each other is mutual.
* NeverMyFault: Pinocchio blames the deaths he's caused on his staff since it's the one pulling him along. He never wanted to kill anything and he can't do anything by himself. This becomes less and less convincing as the story progresses, until it becomes clear that he's semi-knowingly abdicating responsibility for his own misdeeds.
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: His reality persona was raised as a girl by a rather abusive mother who had wanted a daughter.
* SlasherSmile: Carries one in his Half-Nightmare class and later his [[spoiler: Alt.Pre.Half class]].
* ThankTheMaker: English-only; he's sometimes heard praying to the Blue Fairy who gave him life.
* TheOneGuy: Until the release of Aladdin he was the sole male member of the cast. [[spoiler:A bit downplayed if we count the reveal about Gretel.]].
* TooMuchAlike: With Kaguya. They both acknowledge that their goals are too similar for them to suit each other's needs but still wish each other luck when they go separate ways.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: The mother of his reality version wanted a girl instead of a boy and thus raised him as such.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: His Reality appearance has him dressed up as quite the convincing girl. Some of his class outfits, like the Mage, also have him dressing in very feminine clothes.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: Following the demise of Library!Pinocchio, Reality!Pinocchio acts like this to the former's staff, going from wanting someone to give him orders to acting on his own for its sake. While he ends up very powerful as a result of his resolve to be independent, this doesn't stop his own end at the hands of Reality!Snow White.]]

-->"Even if you break my right arm… or sever my left arm… even then, I won’t give up."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaoIchimichi
The titular girl from Lewis Carroll's Literature/AliceInWonderland, Alice seems to feel immense grief and denial over her Author's death and wishes to resurrect him, even if it means they'll never meet or that he'll hate her.\\\
Her Concept is "Bondage"[[labelnote:JP]]束縛/sokubaku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never outright stated that she's experiencing severe, chronic depression, but her emotional numbness, lack of strong personal motivation, and almost-nonexistent self-esteem speak volumes.
* AboveGoodAndEvil: It's implied that her motives are based more in intuition than morality, and that she believes that her actions aren't good or evil.
* AliceAllusion: A more literal example. She is the character of Alice.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: A short-haired, dark blue-haired girl who refuses to be distracted from her goal.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: A meta variant. [[spoiler:Although Alice is a character in Lewis Carroll's story, her InnerMonologue and lore feature more of her relationship with her Author than the Wonderland itself. This indicates that she may or may not be the actual Alice Liddell, a young girl whom Lewis befriended during his life.]]
* BareYourMidriff / {{Underboobs}}: Her Sorcerer outfit probably has the bare minimum of clothing by far.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After returning to the Library during ''[[LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime Lullaby of Reincarnation]]'', the sole reason why Alice and Snow White decided to go back to the world Parrah and Noya had them reincarnate as monsters in despite hating their reincarnated bodies was simply because Shizu was very kind to them despite their faults.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Her Reality Arc persona is hinted to have such a relationship with her sensei.
* {{BFG}}: She carries one of these in her Gunner form.
* {{BFS}} / KatanasAreBetter: Her Breaker job main hand is designed based on katana.
* CreepyChild: Her Paladin class story stated that she rambles incoherently in the middle of the night and she frightened the nurses.
* CreepyMonotone: As part of her EmotionlessGirl schtick, she usually keeps the same flat, glum tone even when she's doing (or about to do) something extremely disturbing.
* DeadpanSnarker: As an EmotionlessGirl, she's near-permanently deadpan, but that doesn't prevent her from reacting to the world around her with blunt, acid wit every so often.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her Half-Nightmare class story tells of Alice's anxiety over her wish not coming true, and her despair twisting her determination to fight into mindlessly killing everyone, including her Author and herself in the end. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this turns out to be not far off from what actually happens to her in the Act of Elimination, completing her ProtagonistJourneyToVillain.]]
* {{Determinator}}: A very dark example. No matter how many things she has to kill, how much it hurts, even if she'll never meet her Author again in the end, she won't give up. It doesn't take too long before it becomes clear that this is not a good thing, and her single-minded obsession with her mission is taking her to some very unpleasant places. [[spoiler:Not only that, but the story shows what happens when the ultimate determinator finds out that their quest was AllForNothing, and it's not pretty at all.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: The reason why she wants to jump in the Reality Arc is because [[spoiler: her sensei has left her.]]
* EmotionSuppression: Her Minstrel weapon story states that Alice resolved to discard her emotion in order to fight for the sake of her Author's resurrection.
* EmotionlessGirl: A sacrifice made to elevate her determination.
* FeelNoPain: Alice stated that she feels no pain, because she knows that her wish to meet with her Author is cursed. This however gets averted as she become adept in combat and pain proves that she's both alive and sane.
* TheFettered: As befitting her Concept of Bondage. Alice is bound to her author and her wish to resurrect him, regardless of how much she suffers or what the outcome of bringing him back will be. [[spoiler: In the Reality Arc, Alice is bound by her relationship with her teacher and her pregnancy as a result of it, resulting in her committing suicide after he leaves her because she couldn't live without him.]]
** [[spoiler: This also applies to Reality!Alice in the manga, where she chooses to remain bound by her promise of being together with her close friend even after she sleeps with the teacher she is in a relationship with. So much so that when her friend is about to jump off the school rooftop after [[WomanScorned murdering the teacher]] for leaving her, Alice tackles her off the roof and joins her in suicide, just to fulfill her promise.]]
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: The fate of Reality!Alice at the hands of Library!Alice in the Act of Elimination, being sliced in two by the latter during their fight.]]
* TheHeroDies: The Character who's the face of the game [[spoiler: ends up dead in Part 2 of the Act of Elimination via getting killed by the other Characters after she loses control of herself.]] However...
** NotQuiteDead: The clip shown at the end of that same chapter has a [[TheStinger stinger]] where during [[spoiler:The Three Little Pigs/Queen Nightmare]]'s soon-to-be destruction of the world, there's a shot of her arm... with the Lifeforce on it crackling like electricity. Nothing is known about what that means, though...
* HeroesPreferSwords: She's the protagonist and main postergirl of the game, and is mainly associated with the Breaker (swordswoman) class. She favours katanas, signifying her samurai-like devotion to her mission.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Her Reality version uses one. In the live-action CM, Reality version Alice is walking to the edge of a building, ignoring her surroundings, very likely planning [[DrivenToSuicide to jump]].
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Alice's attachment and relationship with her Author is hinted to be motivated by this according to her Sorcerer weapon lore.
* IOweYouMyLife: This is Alice's reason to keep on fighting for her Author. She'll do anything for his sake since she's alive because of him.
* {{Joshikousei}}: What she was in the Act of Reality. Her Alternative class's outfit, which is her in her school uniform, comes with glowing [[PowerGivesYouWings wings]] and a glowing {{BFS}}.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Alice's feelings toward her Author are hinted to be this in her Sorcerer class story.
** Her Half-Nightmare spear lore has a [[spoiler:metaphorical story of a man and a woman in an affair, where the woman knew of the man's dishonesty yet she chose to deceive herself to please both of them. Left with nothing of what made her special, she clung to the man for dear life]].
** [[spoiler: Her Act of Reality story basically confirms this, as both stories allude to her relation with her sensei.]]
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler: When cut down, her pieces reform as copies of her and go on a rampage. It's the job of the other characters to take them out before they get killed again.]]
* {{Meido}}: [[WordOfGod Jino]] commented that Alice's main class, Breaker, is designed with the idea of a maid-samurai combination.
* NeverGrewUp: Alice's Sorcerer main hand story states the reason why her Author put restraints on her [[spoiler:is because he feared the thought of seeing her grow into an adult]].
* NoNameGiven: Alice's Reality persona is never named, and in the manga whenever other characters call her by name it is blanked out with Alice simply written on top.
* NotSoStoic: Reality!Alice loses it in the Act of Elimination following the events of the Act of Fusion when she arrives at her sensei's apartment... only for him to be [[spoiler: killed beforehand by Library!Alice]]. [[spoiler: Library!Alice]] on the other hand [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care]].
** On the other hand Library!Alice gets thoroughly pissed when [[spoiler: her Author CameBackWrong, later declaring her intentions to kill everything on sight because she believed that Parrah and Noya lied to her about his revival.]]
** PlayedForLaughs during ''[[Creator/{{Sanrio}} A Fluffy Encounter]]'' event where she's her usual stoic self... while cuddling Cinnamoroll a bit too tightly. [[spoiler: During her 'cuteness withdrawal' at the end of the event, she's lost quite a lot of sleep due to the lack of 'cuteness' the Sanrio Characters evoke]].
* PowerAtAPrice: Chapter 4 of the Act of Elimination reveals that [[spoiler: Alice's price she had to pay for her new powers was the inability to control them.]]
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her Reality version gives her these.
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler: The twist to Alice's new powers gained during the Act of Elimination was that she can't control them.]]
* ThePromise: The Tome of Bondage's weapon story states that she made numerous promises with her Author [[spoiler:even though she's aware that he broke them. Yet she still keeps making more promises, otherwise she won't have a place in his heart]].
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: As the title of the game suggests, she's the lead character of the story, and starts out as a stoic warrior who's very mission-focused but not especially cruel or malicious, and is capable of the odd PetTheDog moment. The problem is that her quest requires more and more extreme brutality and treachery, and she ''just doesn't stop'', gradually grinding away all her humanity to become a simple, remorseless killing machine. [[spoiler:Then she wins, gets given a grotesque parody of what she thought she was fighting for, and snaps completely, becoming an AxCrazy OmnicidalManiac and the new BigBad.]]
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler: Goes on a killing spree after cutting down her author who CameBackWrong. The other Characters, having been brought back by Parrah and Noya, have to put her down before she causes another apocalypse.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning / SupernaturalGoldEyes: Either, depending on her character portrait and maybe the lighting. [[spoiler:Played straight with her Half-Nightmare class]].
* SecurityBlanket: Carries one in her Child class arts and refuses to put it down. In battle stages, she wears it like a cape.
* SignatureHeadgear: She wears a blue hairband, with two long ribbons of flames. It borders on AnimalEaredHeadband, being a reference to the White Rabbit's ears.
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: As of Chapter 4 of the Act of Elimination, Alice is the only character left alive. A bit downplayed if the end of Chapter 5 is any indication where Snow White can be heard...]]
* TheStoic: Described as "a silent blade", signifying her concept.
* TeenPregnancy: [[spoiler:Due to her relationship with her sensei, which causes him to leave her.]]
* {{Underboobs}}: Her Sorcerer class has them peeking out of her top.
* UndyingLoyalty: Her ultimate reason to keep butchering Nightmares.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: 'Used to be' isn't quite the right way to put it, given that it's the result of a BabyMorphEpisode, but when she's turned into an infant in the Sanctuary of Children's Song event, she grows into a shy but gentle and affectionate child with a close bond with her adoptive mother Cinderella. It's quite a change from the icy, ruthless {{Determinator}} she usually is.

-->"I will live my life with a conscience as clean as the pure driven snow that falls from the sky."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
On the day of the wedding between the Prince and Literature/SnowWhite her mother, the Evil Queen, was invited. Despite all that the Queen had done, Snow White still forgave her mother. But the Evil Queen repaid this forgiveness by murdering the Prince, driving Snow White to kill her. Since then, Snow White has become a firm believer in punishing evil. She wants to revive her authors due to a personal debt, in that she owes her existence to the Grimm Brothers' lives.\\\
Her Concept is "Justice"[[labelnote:JP]]正義/seigi[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbusiveParents: Her mother is the Evil Queen but she wasn't always bad. Her obsession with beauty eventually drove Snow White into running away from home. Snow White even knowingly eats the poisoned apple in hopes that doing so might return the Queen to her kind self.[[spoiler: Subverted by the reveal in her Paladin class story. See SoBeautifulItsACurse.]]
* AdaptationDyeJob: She has white hair, whereas in the fairy tale Snow White has ebony hair. Averted with her Reality Arc counterpart who has the same ebony hair as the fairy tale Snow White.
* AntiVillain: As mentioned above, the nature of their quest and their willingness to engage in it makes any playable character a VillainProtagonist, but Snow has the most doubts about her mission, feels the most guilt about it, and is the most willing to do good and show kindness where she can. During the ''LightNovel/ReZero'' crossover event, Parrah and Noya specifically complain that she's not very good at being bad. [[spoiler:Her Library version's lack of conviction eventually gets her killed.]]
* ArmourPiercingQuestion: A spectacular one delivered by Reality Snow White towards her Library counterpart in the Act of Elimination:
-->'''Library Snow:''' My justice is for my masters.\\
'''Reality Snow:''' Then what if your masters are evil?
** Library Snow's failure to answer that question plays a key part in [[spoiler: her demise against Reality Snow.]]
* BattleButler: Gets a Butler class for the ''[[Manga/BlackButler Endless desire...~A Butler Crosses the Threshold~]]'' event alongside Aladdin who reuses his Halloween class.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: After returning to the Library during ''[[LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime Lullaby of Reincarnation]]'', the sole reason why Alice and Snow White decided to go back to the world Parrah and Noya had them reincarnate as monsters in despite hating their reincarnated bodies was simply because Shizu was very kind to them despite their faults.
* BedlahBabe: Her Gunner class looks as if it takes heavy inspiration from a belly dancer aesthetic.
* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: Most of her outfits reflect this. [[spoiler: On her wedding day, she was splattered in the blood of the Prince and the Evil Queen.]]
* ConceptsAreCheap: An in-universe example. Library Snow White's use of the word 'justice' soon slips into this as she finds herself defending the indefensible more and more often, going from a developed ideology to a security blanket to keep her going. [[spoiler:This proves her undoing when she goes up against her Reality version, who has much more self-awareness, conviction, and tolerance for necessary evil.]]
* ContraltoOfDanger: As the resident LadyOfWar, she's got the deep, authoritative voice of a warrior-aristocrat, although her SanitySlippage and frequent NotSoStoic moments give her a more variable register than, say, Cinderella.
* DeadlyDoctor: In her Act of Reality, [[spoiler:she is a nurse, Yukishita Miki, who secretly poisons several patients whom she viewed as criminals and bad people. She ends up killed by Akiyoshi Yura, a possible ancestor of [[VideoGame/{{Nier}} Masayoshi Yura]], out of revenge for one of her victims]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She's the main postergirl of the game alongside Alice, gets almost as much screentime in events, and [[spoiler:ends up as the leader of LaResistance after Alice completes her ProtagonistJourneyToVillain]].
* EatenAlive: She was supposed to kill Nutcracker and inherit his powers and memories, therefore using the information gathered from there to formulate a plan to stop Parrah and Noya. Thanks to them [[spoiler: hijacking Nutcracker's body and regressing his sentience, she suffers this fate and has her powers absorbed by him instead.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: According to the Paladin job story, even a maid had impure thoughts about Snow White.
* {{Expy}}: She shares a similar moral pride and white color palette with [[Videogame/Drakengard3 One]].
* FallenHero: Before she came to the Library, Snow White was a ruthless but fair, effective, and principled enforcer of justice, and a genuine force for good. Reconciling that with her profoundly unjust quest to resurrect her authors through the mass sacrifice of sapient beings was... difficult.
* ForGreatJustice: She used to vanquish evil and deliver justice for the simple satisfaction of vanquishing evil and delivering justice, and that was also why she accepted the mission to revive her authors (seeing it as a fair reward for their efforts). Learning exactly how unjust this procedure would end up being was a key contributor to her SanitySlippage.
* TheHedgeOfThorns: Her Half-Nightmare job has this underneath her skirt.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She's the {{deuteragonist}} and enough of an AntiVillain that she's as close as the story comes to having a hero. She's most closely associated with the Breaker (swordswoman) job class, and favours European straightswords that match her noble, knightly demeanour.
* HiddenDepths: Her Taisho Roman class story reveals that she enjoys cooking as a hobby. During ''Creation of Sweets'', if the player chooses not to play as Hamelin, Kaguya or Sleeping Beauty, the side story featuring her and Little Match Girl shows that she's also one of many fans of the 'Hameln chocolates'.
* HornedHumanoid: In her [[spoiler: Alternative Ext.]] class, she gets a singular horn in the center of her forehead.
* IAmTheNoun: She stands in her belief that she herself is justice, thus having the authority to bring it.
** Her Half-Nightmare class takes her belief and everything that she vowed and declared regarding justice to [[UpToEleven a whole new level]].
* InSeriesNickname: Gets called 'Snow' by almost everyone.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: As stated by her quote above, she vowed to live up to her name by enforcing justice and rejecting anything that might corrupt her. She found it far more of a challenge than she hoped.
* KnightTemplar: Played with. She tends to talk about how she's the embodiment of justice, and her enemies are by definition evil, but it soon becomes clear that it's more of a coping mechanism than something she seriously believes, and she's desperate for any opportunity to show kindness or mercy. That said, her doubts and guilt are never quite enough to make her stop her mission... [[spoiler:until the Act of Elimination.]]
* LadyOfWar: Many of the playable characters fall into this territory to a greater or lesser extent, but she's the purest example. Most of her designs present her as a dignified and elegant warrior, and Jino commented on designing her to look like a monarch.
* TheLeader: [[spoiler: After being revived in Part 2 of the Act of Elimination, Snow White leads the other characters into taking out an out-of-control Alice before the latter causes TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]].
* MsExposition: Appears in Little Match Girl's chapter in Act of Elimination Part 2 to give her the rundown on what's going on.
* NeverMyFault: Snow White insists on her justice [[spoiler:even after killing the bird Nightmare and her children, claiming self-defense and to achieve her goal. It's clear that she doesn't really believe it, and the next chapter of her story consists of her fruitlessly searching for non-sapient nightmares to kill.]]
** Her Minstrel job lore even gives the idea that Snow White herself rarely reflects on her justice and believes that she's just as [[IAmTheNoun justice]] itself.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She declared that she forgave her mother, [[spoiler: who brandished a knife at her at that very moment, only to be protected by the prince, who died in her place. This results in Snow White killing her own mother and her resolve to correct the world]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: At the end of Chapter 5, after the DueToTheDead montage plays, Snow White's voice can be heard calling out to Alice, which means that it's either another version of Snow, or she somehow survived her Act of Elimination battle as well.]]
** Part 2 reveals that [[spoiler: she and the other Characters made a contract with Parrah and Noya to bring themselves back to life, and are now out to get rid of the Alice fragments that are rampaging in Reality.]]
* NotSoStoic: She puts a lot of work into being a calm, dignified paragon of justice, which means that most of her screentime involves her being bludgeoned by the weirdness and/or horror of the setting until her composure cracks and she loses her cool spectacularly.
** On a lighter note, after encountering [[spoiler: the ghost of a developer]] during ''Ultramarine Summer's Lament'', Alice saw that Snow had fainted, with Gretel poking her with a stick.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: It's implied that Reality Arc Snow White is working at the same hospital that Reality Arc Sleeping Beauty is hospitalized in.
* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler: Like Little Mermaid before her, Reality!Snow White gains an Ext. class, but sacrifices something in the process. In this case, it's her hearing.]]
* PowerGivesYouWings: Her [[spoiler: Alternative Ext. ]]class gives her a pair of red wings to go with the power boost.
* PrimAndProperBun: In all of her classes except for her Half-Nightmare, Alternative and [[spoiler: Alternative Ext.]] classes where she lets her hair down.
* PureIsNotGood: Her pure justice ideal leads to her zealotry.
* RedIsHeroic: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Her Lifeforce is red and her concept is befitting of a hero... except she's a tormented AntiVillain who uses the rhetoric of a KnightTemplar as a comfort blanket.
* SanitySlippage: She's a FallenHero trying to justify her DealWithADevil against her own conscience and sense of righteousness, and it's taking a tremendous toll on her mental state. Most of the time, she's barely holding it together, but it's becoming more and more difficult and she's having more and more moments of weakness.
* SinisterScythe: Her Paladin job main hand.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Played for laughs in her Cleric weapon story where Snow White is introduced to an erotic book about herself. [[spoiler: Played straight in her Paladin's job story. Snow White's beauty mesmerized everyone in her country and beyond it. Faced with the threat of a giant blood bath caused by her daughter, the Queen decided to go through with her plan to get rid of Snow White.]]
* SomethingAboutARose: All of her job designs have a rose present in one way or another.
* TheStoic: Like Alice, but in a more dignified way... most of the time. As the most moral and self-doubting of the protagonists, she's quite prone to NotSoStoic moments.
* TeamMom: Whenever she's with younger Characters such as Pinocchio in the ''Tsuri Star'' collaboration event and the first 2 Christmas events.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her gray eyes signify her purity and cold demeanor while the black colouring in them reflects the black flames of vengeance flickering within her. Her Half-Nightmare job has her eyes combine the colors of blue and purple.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler: With the death of the prince at the hands of her mother, whom she forgave just before the murder,]] Snow White swore to never again show forgiveness and to correct the world with her justice.
* UndyingLoyalty: She regards her Author(s) as her Master(s) and it's for their sake that she swore her loyalty and to bring justice to them.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Reality!Snow White believed that if no one would do anything about the bad people in the hospital, she would have to do it herself. Unfortunately for her, once news of the poisoning incidents were released to the public, [[spoiler: everyone viewed her as a murderer.]] The good news, however, is that her own acceptance of herself as one of these makes her much more driven and emotionally stable than her Library self, [[spoiler:which is why she prevails in their Act of Elimination duel.]]
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: In her story, everyone wants her out of love and hate.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: When confronted by the children of a Nightmare bird she recently killed, Snow White snapped and proceeded to kill them in the name of her justice.]]

-->"Rubbing salt in people’s wounds is such fun."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/EriKitamura
Literature/{{Cinderella}} isn't content with how her story went. [[{{Sadist}} There's more that she could've done.]] She wishes to revive her author so that he'll rewrite her story and crown her king.\\\
Her Concept is "Depravity"[[labelnote:JP]]卑劣/hiretsu[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbusiveParents: She's Cinderella. Her abuse at the hands of her WickedStepmother is a large part of what defines her. Notably, while it made her extremely cynical, cruel, and sadistic, she nevertheless turns out to be an excellent adoptive parent to any children she's required to take care of. It's never outright said that it's a reaction to her own childhood, but it's strongly implied.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the manga, while Reality!Cinderella's just as cruel to her subordinates, she's nicer outside of her yakuza work by saving Reality!Red Riding Hood from some thugs and later giving her food, money and shelter. In fact, Reality!Red Riding Hood is the only person she's ever nice to so far.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: While the story of Cinderella is known to be set in France, Cinderella's skin color here is to signify her name's meaning, ashen.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: While most of the cast remain oblivious to their vices, be it deliberately ignoring them or otherwise, Cinderella downright indulges in hers and makes no excuses for herself.
* AxCrazy: She's not as irrational as Gretel or as bloodthirsty as Red Riding Hood, but her sadism and aggression are firmly outside the conventional boundaries of sanity.
* BareYourMidriff: All of her job designs do this to a degree, except for Kimono.
* TheBaroness: An archetypal Sexpot - she's a CardCarryingVillain who's domineering, seductive, and an absolutely ferocious fighter.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Deconstructed. She comes from a story where this is literally and explicitly the case, and the shallow, arbitrary nature of it has made her extremely cynical about the concept of morality in general.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: To put it simply, this is the story where Cinderella decided to get revenge for all of her life's miseries rather than just enduring until she got her happy ending.
* TheCaligula: What she wants her author to rewrite her as.
* TheCameo: Cinderella appears twice in the MV for ''[[https://youtu.be/HCQQ98pJAhM Manic depression of the twin puppets]]'' - the first has her tell Noya to tone down his metal music, while the second has her clock him in the face with a Purification Nightmare in order to get him to shut up.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's the embodiment of Depravity, and she's completely open about it and comfortable with it. With this story being the DysfunctionJunction that it is, this actually makes her one of the more level-headed and perceptive cast members.
* CombatPragmatist: This is actually a major point of pride for her - intelligence, creativity, and determination are the only values she holds in any esteem, and honour and morality are simply signs that you're not interested enough in winning to deserve to win. When the two versions of her meet in the Act of Elimination, it soon becomes a contest to see which one can fight dirtier, sneakier, and more viciously than the other. [[spoiler:Library Cinderella wins.]]
* ContraltoOfDanger: As one might expect of TheBaroness, her voice is a low, throaty growl that's both seductive and threatening.
* ControlFreak: She may be an enthusiastically nasty piece of work, but this is one of her most tragic and sympathetic personality traits - she desperately craves power and agency after a lifetime of being wholly at the mercy of the cruelties and kindnesses of others.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' is this for her. While it also features Alice, Aladdin, Dorothy, and the Little Mermaid, it's mostly about her getting to be something other than a cackling CardCarryingVillain... and doing a surprisingly good job at it.
* DualWielding: Her Breaker class mainhand.
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** She is one depraved woman, but even she gets unnerved by Gretel's unhinged behavior.
--->'''Cinderella:''' ''[to Gretel]'' Word of advice, sister. Seek help. Professional help.
** She's also greatly unnerved by [[spoiler:Reality Red Riding Hood's SanitySlippage as her battle with her is more akin to survival.]]
--->'''Cinderella:''' I prefer to play with someone less insane.
** When she's put in charge of children, she takes the responsibility extremely seriously. She's seen enough AbusiveParents for one lifetime.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: You wouldn't expect a ruthless CardCarryingVillain to be a 'World's Best Mom' candidate, but ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' shows that that's exactly what she is, and her adoptive children turn out remarkably healthy and well-adjusted as a result (to the point where [[spoiler:they're willing and able to bring her BackFromTheDead after she pulls off a HeroicSacrifice to defend them]]). It's implied, though not stated, that it's a reaction to her own experience with AbusiveParents.
* EvilSoundsDeep: The embodiment of Depravity has got the deepest voice of the female cast. See ContraltoOfDanger above.
* {{Expy}}: Of Yoko Taro's other brash, violent and foul-mouthed heroines, [[Videogame/{{Nier}} Kainé]] and [[Videogame/Drakengard3 Zero]]. The key difference is that rather than being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold like the characters she's inspired by, she's a gleefully sadistic VillainProtagonist for the most part.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Some of her job designs give this.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Snow White. Concept-wise, she is the depraved one against Snow White's righteous justice. The contrast extends to their respective color themes, with Cinderella being the ashen lady whereas Snow White is referred to as the white lady.
** To Aladdin. They're both members of the underclass who were elevated by random chance, are keenly aware of how lucky they got, and want to use their good fortune to seize control of their lives for once. The difference is that Aladdin is a hopeless romantic who wants to play UnclePennybags, while Cinderella is a selfish cynic who wants to become TheCaligula.
* GoodParents: ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' puts a murderous CardCarryingVillain in charge of four toddlers in an abandoned, Nightmare-infested city. Amazingly, she manages to rise to the challenge superbly, and even comes to enjoy it after a few years. [[spoiler:It ends in a KarmicJackpot when she and her kids are able to fend off Parrah and Noya's attempt to delete their world through HeroicWillpower and the PowerOfLove.]]
* GunsAkimbo: Her Gunner class mainhand, and what most of her weapons look like.
* HandCannon: Most of her Gunner class weapons are enormous pistols. Ironically, her Half-Nightmare gun is the furthest away from this trope due to being a literal example - it's an actual, handheld cannon straight off an Age of Sail galleon.
* TheHedonist: Living only for her own enjoyment is one of her staunchest principles - she's spent far too long living for the enjoyment of other people. In some ways, this makes her a bit less dangerous than similarly evil playable characters like Dorothy, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Little Mermaid - she may be a {{sadist}} who likes hurting people, but it's only one hobby she enjoys, and she has no great mission driving her to constantly make the world worse.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: It may take an excavation effort on the scale of the Kola Superdeep Borehole to find it, but it does exist. As the Sanctuary of Children's Song event demonstrates, you can put her in charge of a bunch of kids and just watch the magic happen.
** Cinderella develops a soft spot for Kuromi in ''[[Creator/{{Sanrio}} A Fluffy Encounter]]'', even willing to help her and her friends get back home despite questioning her younger compatriots when they fall for their cuteness.
* HornedHumanoid: [[spoiler: Grows a pair of horns as part of her Gunner Ext appearance in the Elimination Arc.]]
* HospitalHottie: Her motif in all non-event Cleric classes, although her Lustful Scorpion Cleric class appearance is more akin to a DeadlyDoctor.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her Minstrel mainhand is a... tuba minigun.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: After the abuse she went through in her story and how "pitiful" she is, Cinderella feels that she is beyond saving and that her heart will never heal. But she'll make everyone else hurt so much worse, since why should she be the only one to endure the pain?
** She also likes to gloat about how a lowly, dirty servant girl like her managed to woo the Prince and become the envy of everyone. The game even implies that she left behind her glass slipper on purpose just to have the Prince chase after her.
* InSeriesNickname: Parrah and Noya call her 'Cinders' in their introduction to the ''Incarnation of Envy'' event and certain chapters of her main story.
* {{Jerkass}}: She's a sadistic bully who takes pride and pleasure in breaking down other people's self-worth. Insults and mockery are her default form of social interaction.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Eventually during ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' she's gotten attached to the kiddy versions of Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin, to the point where she gets a hefty dose of parental worries whenever they're in danger from Nightmares.
* KickTheDog: Finds great joy and amusement in inflicting pain to others. Taken literally in one of her weapon stories where she shot a hound that was following her around since she killed its parents.
* MamaBear: During the ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' event towards a Nightmare harming her 'kids' as she gets more attached to them:
-->'''Cinderella:''' What the hell are you doing to my ''chibi''?!
* MoreDakka: Oh yes, to a ridiculous level. As a [[TheBard Minstrel]], she has a ''minigun'' and she has [[ImprobableWeaponUser gun]] [[DropTheHammer hammers]] as a Crusher.
* MsFanservice: The cast is full of attractive and scantily-clad people, but Cinderella is especially noted for her beauty and especially willing to show it off, and her character art tends to be particularly provocative.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: [[spoiler: In her Gunner Ext job; her extra arms are made of her Lifeforce.]]
* TheNicknamer: Usually refers to her fellow characters by anything but their actual names.
* NeverASelfMadeWoman: She's got a real complex about this - she's intensely aware that she spent most of her life as abused, disposable gutter trash, and owes her elevation to the random, arbitrary patronage of the powerful. It's why she's obsessed with grabbing every advantage she can and exploiting it for all it's worth - it's her way of gaining some control over her own life.
* PeekABangs: Her bangs cover the right side of her face.
* PrettyInMink: Her Reality job has her decked in a rather luxurious fur coat.
* ProudBeauty: She's intensely aware that her looks are the only thing that made her special and valuable in her original story, and enjoys and appreciates them as the one strength she has that's entirely her own.
* PuppetPermutation: Her Half-Nightmare job has her transformed into some sort of puppet that is chained up and missing its midsection.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her hips. Averted with her Reality version, whose hair is short.
* {{Revenge}}: She killed her stepmother and stepsisters for what they did to her, in a way that was "much too terrifying to speak of."
* RoseHairedSweetie: Inverted; she's very much ''not'' this, instead being a sadistic vengeance seeker.
* {{Sadist}}: Justified. She relishes in the pain of others as a way of relieving her own pain, which stems from the abuse she suffered from her step-family.
* SlasherSmile: She has a smile in every job illustration that sits somewhere along the spectrum between this and a GrinOfAudacity, save for Minstrel where her mouth is covered. Unless she does so underneath.
* StrugglingSingleMother: During the ''Sanctuary of Children's Song'' event, Parrah and Noya assign her to care for the [[FountainOfYouth kidified]] Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin until their memories are restored. She reluctantly does so because there's no one else to do so and intends to use the memories of it to embarrass them after it's over and done but she slowly gets attached to the kids [[spoiler: and as a result, Parrah and Noya deemed the world they gave her to raise the kids in a failure]].
* SwissArmyWeapon: Her Crusher mainhand is a gatling-hammer-gun.
* TeamMom: Literally in the ''Sanctuary of Nursery Rhymes'' event for Alice, Little Mermaid, Dorothy and Aladdin when a Nightmare turns them into babies.
* UnkemptBeauty: She is, after all, Cinderella. She's always a ProudBeauty who dresses to show off her famous looks, but while some of her jobs show that SheCleansUpNicely, most of her portraits have her with wild, messy hair and ragged and singed (but obviously expensive) clothing.
* TheVamp: She's a CardCarryingVillain whose beauty is her most treasured weapon, and one she'll happily use to attain her goals (along with other, more traditionally lethal weaponry, of course).
* VillainousValour: One of her defining traits. She's always a bully but never a coward, and is happy to pit herself against impossible odds for the right to do as she pleases. In the extremely rare circumstance where she's given a reason to fight for a good cause, this becomes straightforward HeroicWillpower.
* WickedWitch: She's always got one foot in this trope (Gunner is the single-target magic damage class, and she's enthusiastically wicked), and will happily become a true example whenever one is called for. Her various Sorcerer and Minstrel classes are steeped in this trope, and she's the first in line to play the 'sinister mystic' role whenever an event story involves one.
* {{Yakuza}}: In the Act of Reality, she's the mistress of a yakuza officer who decides to make her own play for the leadership of the gang, and [[spoiler:ends up being killed by her own men after they become terrified of her brutal methods]].

-->"Look, Hansel… look at me… look only at me…"
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaUchida
Literature/HanselAndGretel have met with a terrible fate. Now Gretel is off to revive her author, with only her brother's head in a cage to accompany her. She doesn't really care about the author and is only going on her quest because Hansel told her to.\\\
Her Concept is "Delusion"[[labelnote:JP]]虚妄/kyomou[[/labelnote]].
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Gretel in the game itself is pretty much off their rocker like everyone else [[spoiler: though they end up going against the puppets in the Act of Elimination (Part 2)]], while their Reality counterpart is more grounded. In the manga however, [[spoiler: Reality!Gretel is in cahoots with Parrah and Noya as the 'Game Master', who's helping them 'balance' the game Alice and the others are involved in. What kind of powers the 'Power of Delusion' gives however is a mystery so far, and he isn't divulging the puppets on what role Reality!Sleeping Beauty is in with her own powers either.]]
* AngstySurvivingTwin: Oh, you have no idea. The person known as 'Gretel' is [[spoiler:a boy playing the role of a twin sister driven mad by the loss of the brother she had an incestuous crush on, because he himself was driven mad out of guilt and grief when he killed his insane sister who wanted to eat/have sex with him]]. Got all that?
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: In order to cope up with the death of his sister, Hansel took upon her identity, and ended up losing most of his own.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Gretel insists that her brother is alive, even though the head she's carrying is a big giveaway for everyone who sees it. She is, however, aware that he doesn't talk.
* BerserkButton: While Gretel mainly keeps what's on her mind to herself, poking around her brother is a sure way to trigger her violent urges caused by her traumatic memories.
* BladeOnAStick: Her Alternative class mainhand.
* BrokenBird: Traumatized by the disappearance of Hansel, Gretel has turned into an EmptyShell obsessed about her brother.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: Reality!Gretel seems to be this as [[spoiler: he sees his new powers gained in the Act of Fusion as a hidden potential which unlocked after his suffering in the Act of Reality]].
* CreepyCrossdresser: [[spoiler:Gretel's Cleric job lore notes that she is identified as the incorrect sex]].
* CrossPlayer: In Reality Arc, [[spoiler:Gretel is her game persona]].
* DeathOfPersonality: Currently attempting to invoke this. [[spoiler:Hansel is of the opinion that he doesn't deserve to live, but his sister does. '[[InsaneTrollLogic Logically]]', therefore, he needs to take on her personality and let her severed head actually be that of Hansel.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: How she died in Reality Arc.]]
* EmptyEyes: Cinderella, while thinking about bullying Gretel for fun, realizes just how broken Gretel is by looking at her eyes.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Once Gretel's [[spoiler: true identity]] is revealed, this trope is in play for Hamelin during the ''The Butlers' Feast'' and ''Ode to Sakura'' events, as well as [[spoiler: Oda Nobunaga of all people]] during the ''Wars of Fantasia'' event.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's the standard everyone else has. The entire cast, including the AxCrazy Red Riding Hood, the CardCarryingVillain Cinderella, and the gleefully sadistic Parrah and Noya, consider her extremely disturbing.
** When they meet in the Act of Elimination, even Reality!Gretel is disturbed by his Library counterpart.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Gretel's voice, while creepy, [[spoiler:actually sounds closer to a male than a female. Chapter 3 of Gretel's Act of Hatred reveals that the Gretel the player knew is actually Hansel and the disembodied severed head is Gretel's.]]
* FreakOut: Like her BerserkButton, Gretel doesn't take things well when her brother's safety is compromised, often blaming herself for everything bad that's happened to him, [[spoiler:including killing him]].
* {{Hikikomori}}: Her Reality persona.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Reality!Gretel is understandably disturbed by Library!Gretel and refers to her as a 'chuunibyou'. Despite behaving like one himself in the Act of Fusion.
* ImAHumanitarian: Gretel will quite often muse on the concept of eating her brother, calling him "very sweet". She even offers to let him do the same to her. [[spoiler:Hansel killed her because he thought she would make good on her threat - or possibly just rape him. It wasn't very clear, and he wasn't keen on either.]]
* ImaginaryFriend: Her Cleric class story has medical notes [[spoiler:on her having a fictitious sibling, a product of her mind]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: Her mind is utterly shattered, and her actions follow little, if any, coherent logic. Given that [[spoiler:she's a severely mentally ill person trying to imitate the personality of someone who was severely mentally ill in a completely different way]], trying to anticipate or understand her behaviour is generally an exercise in futility when you could simply be somewhere else instead.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: To be more precise, insane equals dangerously unpredictable. She's completely unmoored from reality, which means that there's no way to guess when or why she'll lash out in self-defence, enter a murderous rage, or otherwise choose violence - what she sees and how she responds has little-to-no bearing on what is actually there.
* InstitutionalApparel: For her Half-Nightmare class she is bound in a heavily stylized straitjacket. Fitting given the SuperpoweredEvilSide nature of Half-Nightmares.
* ItsAllMyFault / GuiltComplex: Gretel blames herself for what happened to her beloved brother, [[spoiler:something that was foreshadowed in her Crusher class story where Hansel blamed himself and promised to save his sister after hearing their parents' plan to abandon them]], and often wonders if her brother won't ever forgive her.
* KillAndReplace: A strange and largely unplanned example. [[spoiler:After Hansel killed his sister out of fear, he became so overwhelmed with guilt that he chose to take on her identity as atonement.]]
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Certain events such as the ''Men's Banquet of Idols'' White Day 2021 event have started to hint at Gretel's true nature - something that isn't revealed until Chapter 3 of her Act of Hatred.
* LossOfIdentity: Gretel's traumatic past left her psyche damaged enough [[spoiler:to actually deny her own true identity in order to escape her past]].
* MadnessMantra: Her Gunner class story is basically spelling out her obsession with her brother, her feelings for him and everything that has brought misery for the both of them. The actual text is... [[MotorMouth madly]] [[WallOfText long]]. [[spoiler: And if one looks at the text closely, one can notice that Gretel slips at one point, mentioning "sister" and "kill" instead of "brother" and "love"]].
* MirthlessLaughter: Gretel laughs when she eventually becomes aware that she's already broken [[spoiler:because she's not Gretel but Hansel himself]] in the 3rd chapter of the Act of Hatred.
* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: [[spoiler: In order to cope with the death of Gretel, and perhaps the fact that he may have been responsible, Hansel impersonates his sister.]]
* {{Narcissist}}: A bizarre and horrifying zig-zag. [[spoiler:Hansel killed his sister, assumed her identity, and made 'Gretel' passionately in love with her brother... and then it turns out that he killed her because he was frightened of her incestuous passion for him, and was just trying to take her identity and replicate her personality as a strange form of atonement.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: As far as she can recall, Gretel killed her parents for the sake of her brother.
* SelfServingMemory: Upon awakening in the Library, Gretel initially can't really recall what happened to her and isn't aware of who she is. As she proceeds, she only remembers that she has her brother with her and they've been having a lot of fun together. [[spoiler:This turns out to be her own version of how things happened, produced from her denial, her feelings for her brother and her hatred for their parents.]]
* ShesGotLegs: A number of class arts put an emphasis on Gretel's legs. To the point where [[CovertPervert Hameln]] wants Gretel to step on him, much to her disgust.
* SiblingIncest: Gretel is reeeaaally attentive to Hansel. While most of her [[InnerMonologue monologues]] are quite mild about her feelings, her Sorcerer job lore just [[ConvenientlyInterruptedDocument all but outright says it]]. [[spoiler:It's why Hansel killed her, since he was frightened of her {{Yandere}} attitude, although he was so overcome with guilt afterwards that he chose to replicate this part of his sister's personality as well.]]
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:'Gretel' is actually a personality created by Hansel in order to escape his traumatic memories and atone for killing his sister.]]
* SweetTooth: Gretel enjoys sweets with her brother, including her brother himself as she describes it.
* TalkativeLoon: She talks only to her brother's head, if Parrah and Noya aren't around giving information, and will not talk to anyone until they start to take her brother into the topic for any purpose.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler: Gretel's Breaker Ext. class is the only class whose weapon doesn't have 'Delusion' or its synonyms in its name; instead of being the 'Abyss of Delusion', it's called the 'Abyss of Singularity'.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:The person is Hansel. Gretel's head is in the cage. And Hansel might've been the one who killed Gretel, along with their parents.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: As the embodiment of Delusion, it should come as no surprise that what you see at first is not what you get with Gretel. There's a lot of white in her entry for a reason.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Many players assume that the mysterious new character in Act of Elimination Part 2 is Gretel, but both characters are listed separately, leading to questions on whether Gretel was one of the few characters who wasn't revived or if they will appear later.
** Chapter 5 of the Act of Elimination (Part 2) reveals that they are [[spoiler: the Masked Man who assisted Snow White and the others in killing the Alice fragments, and is also one of few characters openly opposing Parrah and Noya.]]
* {{Yandere}}: Gretel has a single-minded incestuous crush on Hansel, and will happily murder anything in sight to make him happy. Astonishingly, the fact that he's the severed head of her deceased brother isn't the most disturbing thing about this. [[spoiler:Hansel is actually the surviving twin, and is only acting out his sister's {{Yandere}} personality as atonement for murdering her out of fear.]]

-->"Haah… I’ll revive my Author after I… take a nap…"
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaedeHondo
The Literature/SleepingBeauty who isn't happy that the Prince woke her up. So much so that she only wants to resurrect her author to have him build a world where she can be asleep forever.\\\
Her Concept is "Languor"[[labelnote:JP]]睡眠/suimin[[/labelnote]].
----
* AndIMustScream: Reality!Sleeping Beauty in the Act of Fusion is awake... but only in her mind. Her body is still asleep, meaning she's unable to control her new powers [[spoiler: which causes instant death to anyone who approaches her]], and is constantly frightened because she's unsure of whether she's asleep, awake, alive or dead.
* BerserkButton: She really hates being woken up and is more than happy to give a death penalty to anyone who does so.
** Reality!Sleeping Beauty, [[spoiler: upon the death of her Library counterpart]], changes it to "anyone who sleeps when she can't will die".
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being one of the most peaceful members of the cast, she will not hold back if you dare get in the way of her nap. The prince learned it the hard way, and [[HorrifyingTheHorror even Parrah and Noya are frightened]].
* BludgeonedToDeath: [[spoiler: After her efforts to get a good night's sleep were AllForNothing, seeing Library!Sleeping Beauty manage to sleep soundly causes Reality!Sleeping Beauty to [[SlainInTheirSleep snap and crush her skull]].]]
* ChildrenAreAWaste: Relating to her unwanted marriage in her Paladin job lore, [[spoiler:Sleeping Beauty gave birth to two children and considered giving them to either a white wolf, a witch or a monster. They eventually got devoured by her husband's mother.]]
* CoolCrown: Wears one as part of her Half-Nightmare and [[spoiler:Alt. Half]] class appearances. The crown is actually part of her Nightmare self's head. She gets a fancier one for her Grand Prix (R03) class as part of her victory in the 2021 Popularity Poll.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: In ''A Fluffy Encounter'', while she questions if the Creator/{{Sanrio}} Characters are a new breed of Nightmare, she's the first to stop Alice, Red Riding Hood and Cinderella from harming them because "they're way too cute to be Nightmares". Everyone agrees and start fawning over their cuteness instead, making a DeclarationOfProtection of the Sanrio Characters/Fluffies until they get home safely.
* DeathSeeker: Poor Reality!Sleeping Beauty is this in the Act of Fusion due to [[spoiler: being brought back to life but unable to control her sleeping body, killing everyone while asleep and unable to find her parents. No wonder she kept asking Reality!Alice to put her out of her misery.]]
** She gets her wish in a very depressing matter [[spoiler: courtesy of Library!Alice]] in Part 1 of the Act of Elimination.
* DubNameChange: From Briar Rose [[labelnote:JP]]いばら姫/Ibara-hime; Thorn Princess[[/labelnote]] in the Japanese server to Sleeping Beauty in both the Taiwanese[[labelnote:CN]]睡美人/shuìměirén[[/labelnote]] and Global servers.
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: Carries a plush doll in all of her Classes except for her Half-Nightmare and Reality Jobs. Said plushie is also dressed according to the Class in question.
** It even becomes a GuardianEntity for her [[spoiler: Crusher Ext. class, even if it wasn't able to protect her in the end]].
* {{Expy}}: She shares common points with [[Videogame/{{GuiltyGear}} Bedman]]. Both are young children related to the theme of sleep and fight with the help of a MiniMecha.
* FlowerMotifs: Her Japanese name and several class designs put emphasis on roses.
* TheHedgeOfThorns: The prominent element of her designs as [[MeaningfulName a part of her name]] and a reference to the forest of thorns that surrounded Sleeping Beauty's castle to prevent the princes from reaching her. It's also the thing that keeps her standing while sleeping.
* IllGirl: Her Act of Reality self was hospitalized. [[spoiler: Her Alternative class story reveals that she had been comatose for a while]].
* LazyBum: Her quotes say it all; she has her own motivations yet is also too sleepy to take any action. It takes [[CuteAndPsycho Red Riding Hood]] to keep her awake out of fear of being killed while she's asleep.
* LotusEaterMachine: Basically what she wants her Author to convert her story into. Her dreams are so much more fun and free from the troubles that come from being awake, her bed so soft and comfortable, that she doesn't want to return to reality ever again.
* LyricalDissonance: Her Breaker main hand lore has her lullaby for her children [[spoiler:containing her thoughts to whom she'll give them up]].
* MiniMecha: Her briars usually take the form of a hulking battlesuit which cradles her sleeping body while striking down anything in its way.
* MotivatedByFear: During her cross story with Red Riding Hood, it's the first time Sleeping Beauty keeps awake because Red Riding Hood outright tells her that she'll give Sleeping Beauty an eternal slumber if she falls asleep again.
* MundaneUtility: The ''Autumn Feast of Abundance'' event shows her use her briars to help with the farm work, so that she can continue sleeping. She's incredibly proud of it too, since it speeds up the process much faster than planting the rice by hand like how Alice and Pinocchio are doing.
* NoodleIncident: Sleeping Beauty reveals during the ''Creation of Sweets'' event that Aladdin, aside from telling her about [[{{Narcissist}} Hamelin]], taught her the business jargon she uses during the event when dealing with the companies she and Kaguya worked with to manufacture the Hamelin chocolates. However, when and how they met is not known to the player.
* OnlySaneWoman: During the ''End of the Moonlight'' event, where she begrudlingly goes along with Kaguya and Red Riding Hood's shenanigans in preventing the moon's collapse on Earth.
* PassedInTheirSleep: Reality!Sleeping Beauty's fate in the Act of Reality. In the most depressing manner possible: [[spoiler: her coma caused her to lose so much weight and her muscles weakened so badly, her doctors and parents had no choice but to let her sleep... forever.]]
* PetTheDog: She may be a SpoiledBrat and LazyBum most of the time, but she's surprisingly kind, supportive, and understanding when she discovers that Snow White's trauma-induced nightmares make her incapable of enjoying sleep like she does. Neither of them are able to fix the problem, but they part on fond terms at the end of their crossover chapter.
* PowersDoTheFighting: The shadowy briars she's always lying in are what do the fighting for her, so she can continue sleeping.
* PowerFloats: Her Sorcerer job artwork invokes this.
* ReallyFondOfSleeping: Oh, so very much. Her ultimate goal is to sleep forever and prefers the dream world compared to the real world. And woe betides anyone who dares to give her a RudeAwakening (except for Red Riding Hood).
** This extends to her Reality self as well, but unlike her Library counterpart, Reality!Sleeping Beauty feels slightly guilty about it [[spoiler: due to her sleeping illness making her parents worried]].
* ShoutOut: Her Paladin job story references ''Literature/SunMoonAndTalia'', which is considered another version of Sleeping Beauty, in mentioning her having two children while still under the curse.
* SleepyHead: Exaggerated. The only thing she wants to do is sleep [[spoiler:so much that she's unhappy with the prince and her children, wanting to have nothing to do with them]] as her sole motivation and final goal in killing Nightmares.
* SpoiledBrat: She's a child raised in the lap of luxury, and has little patience for the wants or desires of 'commoners' - particularly if they might interrupt her sleep.
* ThisIsADrill: Her Paladin job design has her thorns wield [[DualWielding a pair]] drill-like thorn lances.
* UnwantedSpouse: According to her Paladin job lore, she's married to the prince and it's questionable on [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil how they met]] or [[BerserkButton if she's truly happy with him waking her up in the first place]].

-->"One, two, three, four… and I can still kill many more…!"
-->'''Voiced by:''' Ayaka Imamura (2017-2018), Creator/RikaTachibana (2018-present)
When Literature/LittleRedRidingHood was eaten by the Wolf and saved by the Woodsman, she was disappointed. She had wanted to play with the Wolf some more. She wants to play with her Grandma and the Woodsman too, but if she killed everyone then the story will end and she'd have nothing else to do. So she wants to resurrect her author, to have him continue writing the story so she can keep playing forever. She might even want to kill her author too.\\\
Her Concept is "Brutality"[[labelnote:JP]]暴力/bouryoku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguousInnocence: She's usually one of the most childlike of the playable characters, and her love of violence usually comes across as the whims of a child who likes breaking their toys, but she's also got a bit of InterplayOfSexAndViolence going on, and has the occasional flash of malevolent intelligence that makes the player wonder how childish she really is.
* AndCallHimGeorge: Exaggerated. All she wants to do is play with her friends, and she's extremely disappointed when they stop screaming and struggling.
* AnimalMotif: Wolves, as a design element featured in her Reality and Half-Nightmare classes.
* AxCrazy: Takes this trope to its absolute extreme. The only way she ever really wants to interact with another living being is by inflicting horrific, nauseating violence upon it until it stops twitching.
* BigDamnHeroes: Of all people to come to the rescue during the ''[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Fragment of a Nightmare]]'' event, [[spoiler: Parrah and Noya summon her to save the story after Aladdin dies and Pinocchio succumbs to Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. She then proceeds to chase after [[spoiler: Hanyu, who presented herself as Oyashiro-sama]].
* BloodKnight: Absolutely loves killing and fighting, even when (especially when) her opponent is a shadowy copy of herself.
* {{Bokukko}}: Uses 'boku' to refer to herself.
* CarryABigStick: Her base weapon is a huge mace-like weapon.
* CheerfulChild: She's the most lively character of the cast while also relishing in violence. Her Reality version, however, [[AvertedTrope doesn't smile]].
* CombatSadomasochist: To horrifying degrees in her Half-Nightmare job story. [[spoiler:Her Half-Nightmare story has Red Riding Hood herself disembowel and hurt herself but she enjoys it ''all the same'']].
* CreepyChild: An angelic young girl with AmbiguousInnocence whose favourite hobbies are murder and torture. This one really goes without saying.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: She's a cute young girl with an appropriately squeaky voice. She's also a strong candidate for the most evil and monstrous of the playable characters, and whenever she has something to say, it will usually be horrifying.
* TheDreaded: A lot of the playable characters have dark reputations in-story, but hers is by far the darkest. Unsurprisingly, nobody wants to spend a moment more in the presence of the embodiment of Brutality than is strictly necessary.
* ElegantGothicLolita: Some of her job costumes veer into this.
* {{Expy}}: Her love of violence and killing just about makes her one for [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Caim]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: See IJustWantToHaveFriends. To her, 'friend' and 'torture victim' are the same concept, and it should go without saying that nobody she meets is remotely interested in being her friend.
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: To say the least, any of her job weapons are these in association to her concept. Even the seemingly harmless tome that she wields as a Sorcerer is titled "Tome of Violence", which is a strong indicator for what's written inside.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: She's often on the lookout for new friends to play with during her travels, be they Nightmares or fellow Characters. Unfortunately for them, her idea of playing involves their violent demises, hence her wish for her Author to write her more durable playmates.
* ImAHumanitarian: She doesn't have the Horrorhunger of the Three Little Pigs, but she's willing to eat both people and nightmares, and doesn't particularly mind if they're alive or dead at the time.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Despite her childish innocence, her 'play' often has a creepy sexual tinge. The scene where she meets and butchers her Nightmare self early in the story, for instance, is written like she's discovering masturbation.
* InTheHood: According to one of her job stories, the people of her town wore red to protect them from the shadows of the forest and the Beast of Night, explaining her red hood.
* ImprobableWeaponUser / ShovelStrike: Her Alternative class has a shovel as her weapon. Ridiculous? Well according to history, shovels were often used as a weapon in [=WW1=] and [=WW2=]. It's both effective and handy.
* LaughablyEvil: This is, after all, a Yoko Taro story, and her incessant, single-minded bloodlust is played for humour almost as often as horror.
* LittleDeadRidingHood: Inverted. She's the one who'll do the killing.
* LittleRedFightingHood: And does she love it.
* LivingClothes: Her Sorcerer job outfit shows signs of it with two giant arms coming from her own cloak.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: One of her battle quotes is "Scream some more!".
* {{Nekomimi}}: Becomes a glowing one in her Reality version.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Suffice to say, she simply doesn't seem to understand just how horrific her actions are to those that see her. Best exemplified in the Manga where she talks about how nice it is to meet Snow White again and how nostalgic it is, all while caving in her face and breaking her limbs one by one.
* NunsAreSpooky: Her purchase-only Cleric job reflects on this.
* OneManArmy: Notable for being the only character who's also this in their Reality persona before coming into contact with the Library. When a yakuza clan attempts to avenge their boss after she kills him, it takes several squads of goons to mortally wound her (not kill her, it should be stressed - she dies of blood loss several hours after fighting her way out).
* ProfessionalKiller: In the Act of Reality, she's a street kid who became a notorious assassin.
* PsychoForHire: Her Reality version is a textbook example - she became an assassin both to earn a living and to slake her endless thirst for blood. Her Library version doesn't have a job, per se, seeing as she's a supernatural being on a mystical quest, but she's got the basic mindset - it's incredibly easy to recruit her for just about any task so long as she gets to hurt people.
* RedIsViolent: Exaggerated. She's the embodiment of Brutality, and her hood is stained red from the blood of her victims.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} in her Wrath Wolf Half-Nightmare class where the red is replaced with blue, but she's still just as, if not even more violent once the spirit in question has full influence on her.
* {{Sadist}}: Again, she's the embodiment of Brutality. Violence is her greatest pleasure, and her AmbiguousInnocence often makes it unclear whether it's a childish hobby, a sexual fetish, or some unholy midway point between the two. As she puts it, "Fun is pain! Pain is fun! Isn't it wonderful?"
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:Following the death of Library!Red Riding Hood, whom she considered a friend, the hitherto slightly saner Reality!Red Riding Hood starts going over the edge, causing her to transform into her Alt. Half form.]]
** It gets worse in Part 2 where not only is she ''even more unhinged'' than before, she's also [[spoiler: talking to an ImaginaryFriend or a voice in her head which may or may not be the cause of her evolution into her Alternative Ext. form.]]
* TokenWholesome: While it's rare for 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'wholesome' to go together in the same sentence, she's generally one of the most modestly-dressed of the playable characters. It's mostly to emphasise her childish appearance and personality, but several of her outfits have her go a step further and demonstrate her BloodKnight cred by wearing actual armour.
* TooManyBelts / ChainedByFashion: A lot of her outfits have a lot of belts and/or chains. Special mention goes to all those straps on her red hood.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: She's one of the most childlike playable characters in both appearance and personality. She's also an AxCrazy SerialKiller whose horrific acts often have a disturbing InterplayOfSexAndViolence. 'Troubling' doesn't even begin to cover it.

-->"To suffer at the hands of a strong person is my ideal."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto
The Bamboo Princess from the Japanese folktale ''Literature/TheTaleOfTheBambooCutter''. Kaguya dislikes being pampered like the princess everyone sees her as. It's her belief that a princess should serve the people, not the other way around. She wants to be tormented by someone stronger than her, and who else is stronger but her author?\\\
Her Concept is "Masochism"[[labelnote:JP]]被虐/higyaku[[/labelnote]].
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Most of her job outfits sports this, emphasizing her sexual nature.
* AllMenArePerverts: Many of the men who came to court her would look at her lustfully, something Kaguya enjoyed since she yearns to be dominated by a man stronger than her.
* ApologeticAttacker: She feels bad for killing the Nightmares and even sheds a few tears, but it's only because they don't put up a good enough fight to actually hurt ''her''.
* BedlahBabe: As part of the World/International class series, she's dressed as one.
* BlindfoldedVision: For her Minstrel job she dons a blindfold.
* BoobsOfSteel: She probably has the largest bust size of the cast, along with Dorothy.
* CovertPervert: Kaguya developed a masochistic streak as a result of her being raised by an old couple and detachment of any kind of relationships outside her family. At its peak, Kaguya only came to realize this tendency when she became aware of the lords' lustful gazes upon her.
* CombatSadomasochist: Well, combat masochist. She doesn't like hurting people, but she does like being hurt, and recognises that starting fights is one of the best ways to make people want to hurt her.
* CursedWithAwesome: Her Paladin class story tells us that her existence is a blessing to her parents yet she terrifies other people. Also, her divine, incorruptible might is the one thing she really doesn't want to have.
* DeathSeeker: Sort of. It's not so much that she explicitly wants to die - it's just that the extreme levels of pain /pleasure she seeks are pretty much guaranteed to kill her, and she doesn't mind. [[spoiler:Every time any version of Kaguya ends up having her desires satisfied, it ends up proving lethal.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Upset that Library!Kaguya died with satisfaction first and about her newfound SuperToughness, she crosses this and starts turning into a Nightmare when even Reality!Dorothy's science equipment fails to cut her.]]
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: She never realized how strong she actually is, as she had never wielded a weapon before she goes to resurrect her Author. Due to that, she usually ends up killing Nightmares that she thought would be able to hurt her, much to her chagrin.
* DoomedProtagonist: As her Sorcerer job lore states, for her to be born into the unclean earth, Kaguya is doomed to come in contact with worldly desires. Of course, from her perspective, her problem is that she isn't doomed ''enough''.
* ExtremeLibido: Of the masochistic variant. Pain is pleasure, pleasure is pain, and she wants all that the world can give her.
* TheHedonist: She's no VisionaryVillain - all she wants is pain/pleasure extreme enough to finally, completely satisfy her. Unfortunately, being a PhysicalGod with IncorruptiblePurePureness makes this very difficult indeed.
* HeelRealization: During the first arc, she realizes the Nightmares are too weak to fulfill her wish, leading to her realizing that her Author is the only one who can. With this comes the realization that she's not as innocent as she initially thought and that she's going to have to kill everyone to fulfill her wish.
* HotTeacher: Her Reality self's day job is a teacher.
* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: She regretted not choosing any of the lords who proposed to her and imagined how wonderful it would have been to suffer at their hands, as she never wishes to return to the moon.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: Tends to express herself with moans when she gets particularly aroused over something, with the most notable example being [[spoiler: her Library self getting the satisfaction she desires at the end of the fight against her Reality self]]. It's even lampshaded on the story itself, where it explicitly uses the term "orgasm".
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her top shows off quite a bit of her cleavage and her shoulders.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Deconstructed. Her divine incorruptibility made earthly corruption the only thing she was interested in and the only thing she couldn't obtain, eventually resulting in her going on a murderous rampage to find someone, anyone, capable of hurting and defiling her.
* InLoveWithLove: Kaguya later resolved to endure all forms of pain to learn about love, for the world is filled with pain that is "love". She likes the idea of being in a relationship more for the sake of fulfilling her masochistic tendencies rather than actually wanting to be with someone, possibly because she thinks that being hurt means being loved.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: See every other trope in her entry. She's the embodiment of capital-M Masochism, and sees no separation whatsoever between the two concepts. [[spoiler: The fight between her Library and Reality selves basically embodies this trope, as they get increasingly aroused as the fight goes on.]]
* KimonoIsTraditional / PimpedOutDress: Her Paladin design reflects on her being the only character from a Japanese 'fairytale'.
* LittleBlackDress: Wears a pretty revealing one in the Act of Reality.
* MsFanservice: Her character concept is 'supernaturally beautiful masochistic nymphomaniac', and it shows, as the art team tend to put her in suitably outrageous outfits and her lines often lend to being suggestive, if not outright sexual. Her Reality is also one of those that have explicitly sexual theme in the form of BDSM prostitution.
* NaginataAreFeminine: As a warped take on the YamatoNadeshiko trope, she's naturally heavily associated with the Paladin (spearwoman) class, and her unique spears are all naginatas.
* {{Necromancer}}: Her Sorcerer class's lore and design reflect on this.
** Her Cleric weapon story has her dabbling in necromancy, in hopes of finding someone who was able to hurt her. She didn’t succeed.
* OrgasmicCombat: Or, at least, she would very much like her combat to be orgasmic. As a permanently unfulfilled masochist, her battlefield chatter is extremely suggestive and sometimes downright has her getting aroused. [[spoiler:This is exemplified when the Library and Reality selves face off against each other.]]
* PrettyInMink: Kaguya's dress in her Paladin and Cleric classes sport a lion head decoration at the back, the mane becoming the fur design around her neckline.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Under the influence of the [[spoiler: Gluttonous Tiger spirit]] after accepting its power.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Many of her class portraits incorporate bones and/or [[NothingButSkulls skulls]] into her clothes and weapons.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Fitting for a MsFanservice character, some of her job outfits have her dressed in the bare minimum, such as her Proud Lion Breaker. Perhaps one of the most iconic example for this is her Travelers job, where she's only haphazardly wrapped in ribbons and is wearing ''nothing'' underneath.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: Kaguya wishes and expects to be defeated and violated by the Nightmares but as she begins to adapt in battle, she finds out that her body is strong and her mind is unshaken.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: She refuses to be called a pervert/nymphomaniac, despite her masochistic tendencies.
* SuperToughness: Reality!Kaguya's new ability in the Act of Elimination, where her skin is so durable it breaks the tools Reality!Dorothy was using to get a blood sample. Since she's a masochist, she hates it, and it [[spoiler:leads to her crossing the DespairEventHorizon and undergoing Nightmarification.]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: Taken to a pretty far extreme. She enjoys pain ''too'' much, to the point that it defines her desire to resurrect the Author. She even actively tries to find someone who will torment her during her quest, whatever that is.
** Her desire branches from physical pain to mental pain, and later comes to associates love with pain itself.
* TooMuchAlike: With Pinocchio. They both want someone else to control them and are indecisive, so much of their crossover story is them asking "I don't know, what do you want to do?" back and forth.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Jino commented that Kaguya is designed as an Oiran, a Japanese courtesan, which reflects her Reality self's 'other' job.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Submissive, demure and certainly not a pushover, but that last bit is what Kaguya's upset about. She wants to be an ExtremeDoormat.

-->"I’m not too good at deciding things on my own."
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoSanpei
The puppet that came to life from ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'', he's been having a tough time suddenly having free will. He wants to resurrect Carlo Collodi, since the Author is the one who dictates everything that happens in the story, so he'd be the best one to tell Pinocchio what to do.\\\
His Concept is "Dependence"[[labelnote:JP]]依存/izon[[/labelnote]].
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Pinocchio is a doll turned human who struggles to make a decision on his own, relying instead on others to give him orders. [[spoiler:In Chapter 4 of his Act of Impulse, Pinocchio realizes that he doesn't remember becoming a real little boy while his staff exhibits all traits associated to his doll self (foul mouthed, mean, nose growing when lying). Pinocchio's concept art hints at the fact that the staff might be the real Pinocchio, which is confirmed in the Act of Elimination Part 2 when his staff first latches on to a passing Nightmare and then forces a fusion with Cinderella.]]
* ButtMonkey: Due to his ExtremeDoormat personality, he is often toyed with by people like Cinderella or his own staff. This extends to the collaboration event with Tsuri Star where he becomes the DamselInDistress at some point, needing Snow White to save him.
* DirtyCoward: He may come across as endearingly pathetic much of the time, but make no mistake - he's a VillainProtagonist like everyone else. In his case, it's because he's such an ExtremeDoormat that he'll cooperate in the most gruesome evil and depravity purely so that he doesn't have to deal with the pressure of making his own decisions. [[spoiler:Given the hints that his staff is actually his SplitPersonality, this goes one layer deeper - he basically gave himself dissociative identity disorder in order to abdicate responsibility for following his own dark impulses.]]
* DisappearedDad: Geppetto has gone missing, as well as other characters from the story. The Cricket refuses to talk about the puppet to avoid going missing too.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Some of his designs enforce this, particularly his Paladin job. His Reality Arc appearance has him disguise himself up as a girl.
* {{Expy}}: Pinocchio's situation in the Act of Reality mirrors that of Nagisa Shiota from ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom''. Both are boys whose mothers wanted a daughter but because they were born male, tried to control every aspect of their lives by treating them as though they were girls instead. However, while Nagisa managed to resolve his issues with help from his classmates in Class E and Koro-sensei, Pinocchio, unfortunately, didn't have that same happy ending [[spoiler: with him [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide in the end]]]].
* ExtremeDoormat: He has trouble making decisions on his own, so he wants someone else to decide for him.
-->"It is a puppet's fate to bend to the will of others. I may be a real boy now, but I still need someone to pull strings."
* FusionDance: [[spoiler: Pinocchio's staff does this to Cinderella, taking over her body with his Lifeforce. At the end of his fight with the Nutcracker, it gathers the remains of the two and fuses them into 1 body.]]
* GreenThumb: His power in the manga, which he uses to grow a tree from a single branch in order to save Alice.
* LivingWeapon: His staff, which has a face and its own will, dragging Pinocchio around to get him to kill the nightmares. However, it stops talking when there are other people around.
* MonsterClown: Becomes this after Harley Quinn and Catwoman doll him up and turn him into a second Joker in ''[[Franchise/{{Batman}} Villainy, Justice and Forgery]]''. [[spoiler: The Joker himself isn't fond of it, since Joker!Pinocchio's brand of evil is merely a bad mimicry of his own chaos.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: His mother in the Reality Arc is downright [[AbusiveParent abusive]]. Unfortunately, their dependence on each other is mutual.
* NeverMyFault: Pinocchio blames the deaths he's caused on his staff since it's the one pulling him along. He never wanted to kill anything and he can't do anything by himself. This becomes less and less convincing as the story progresses, until it becomes clear that he's semi-knowingly abdicating responsibility for his own misdeeds.
* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: His reality persona was raised as a girl by a rather abusive mother who had wanted a daughter.
* SlasherSmile: Carries one in his Half-Nightmare class and later his [[spoiler: Alt.Pre.Half class]].
* ThankTheMaker: English-only; he's sometimes heard praying to the Blue Fairy who gave him life.
* TheOneGuy: Until the release of Aladdin he was the sole male member of the cast. [[spoiler:A bit downplayed if we count the reveal about Gretel.]].
* TooMuchAlike: With Kaguya. They both acknowledge that their goals are too similar for them to suit each other's needs but still wish each other luck when they go separate ways.
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: The mother of his reality version wanted a girl instead of a boy and thus raised him as such.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: His Reality appearance has him dressed up as quite the convincing girl. Some of his class outfits, like the Mage, also have him dressing in very feminine clothes.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: Following the demise of Library!Pinocchio, Reality!Pinocchio acts like this to the former's staff, going from wanting someone to give him orders to acting on his own for its sake. While he ends up very powerful as a result of his resolve to be independent, this doesn't stop his own end at the hands of Reality!Snow White.]]
