9	The main protagonist.
10	----
11	* CuteWitch: Adorable, and a witch.
12	* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler: In the final loop, successfully scams Grimlet, a demon, when she offers to enter a DealWithTheDevil. Grimlet would get her soul in exchange for something on his end, which Lillet requests to be that he embrace God, something that as a demon, she knows he can't do. Since neither a human or a demon can back out of a contract once its set up, Grimlet is DraggedOffToHell for breaking it.]]
13	* EverybodysDeadDave: Runs into this at the end of the first loop. All the teachers, aside from Advocat died stopping Grimlet, Amoretta being sacrificed in the process, and Margarita was killed by Calvaros.
14	** Her attempt to prevent everyone dying stopping Grimlet on the second loop fails as well, instead they still die, this time with Grimlet killing everyone and taking complete control over Gammel's body.
15	* GuileHero: One of the more epic ones.
16	* HotWitch: [[spoiler:In the Epilogue.]]
17	* TookALevelInBadass: Starts off as a NaiveEveryGirl who develops into a GuileHero over the course of the loops. [[spoiler: Most notably she goes from quivering in Grimlet's presence to conning him into a {{Wishplosion}}.]]

22	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
23	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmandaWinnLee (English)
24	Lillet's dorm mate. She has a frog familiar named Surely.
25	----
26	* AmphibianAssault: Not Margarita herself, but her toad familiar, Surley. He can expel poison and [[spoiler:control Margarita's body.]]
27	* BurnTheWitch: She mentions early in the story that magic-users are subjected to this where she's from. [[spoiler:Fear of this happening to her is why she's trying to release Calvaros.]]
28	* DubNameChange: Margarita Frozen became Margarita Surprise.
29	* EvilRedhead: [[spoiler:Forced into it, anyways.]]
30	* TheFairFolk: Though her specialty is Sorcery, she knows enough Glamour to try (without success) to summon Morning Star to breach Opalneria's defenses [[spoiler:protecting Calvaros's soul container.]]
31	* TheLegionsOfHell: She mainly specializes in Sorcery.
32	* TheMole: She is really a servant of Calvaros trying to free him.
33	* OutOfFocus: In contrast to the other routes, she barely appears in the third cycle.
34	* PeoplePuppets: She's subjected to this by [[spoiler:her familiar, Surley, forcing her to fight against Lillet.]]
35	* TrappedInVillainy: [[spoiler:She only serves Calvaros under threat of death via BurnTheWitch.]]
36	* WalkingSpoiler: Let's just say she's more than Lillet's dorm mate.

41	[[caption-width-right:320:]]
42	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaniMinella (English)
43	A homonculus created by Chartreuse, though she's often seen with Advocat. She has a Grimalkin familiar.
44	----
45	* AllWitchesHaveCats: Well, she's a homonculus rather than a witch, but given the setting her Grimalkin familiar still fits.
46	* ArtificialHuman: She is a homonculus.
47	* EmotionlessGirl: Is TheStoic in her early appearances, but develops some emotion due to her encounters with Lillet.
48	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the 3rd and 4th loops, gives her live to defeat Grimlet.]]
49	* ManOfKryptonite: The soul used to create her was that of angel, which allows [[HolyBurnsEvil sacrificing her life to turn her into a deadly weapon against devils]].
50	* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: Why Advocat is drawn to her.
51	* YoungerThanTheyLook: She looks similar to Lillet in age, but since she is an ArtificialHuman who was recently created she is much younger.
52	[[/folder]]

54	[[folder:Bartido Ballentyne]]
55	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb_52.jpg]]
56	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
57	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelSorich (English)
58	A boisterous student that is often seen with Chartreuse.
59	----
60	* BerserkButton: Opalneria Rain's behavior towards Chartreuse. Advocat might be good at provoking a rise out of him, but Opalneria hardly needs to do anything for Bartido to show open contempt for her StalkerWithACrush antics. He readily calls her out for sabotaging the alchemy lab, accuses her of being a sexual deviant for [[ImaginaryLoveTriangle thinking Amoretta is in a relationship with Chartreuse]], and outright calls Hiram's crush on Opalneria to be a case of [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim "bad taste"]], all right to Opalneria's face! He relents in the final loop when he realizes how badly she was emotionally manipulated by Lujei.
61	* TheCasanova: Gains a reputation as this in the epilogue, but he only ever seems to show interest in Lillet.
62	* TheGadfly: Teases Lillet in multiple loops when they first meet, usually by implying she has a crush on him.
63	* GeniusBruiser: While he'll summon familiars just like everyone else, he'll just as readily take on other mages and even devils with nothing more than GoodOldFisticuffs, and even win a surprising number of times. He's no slouch in the intellectual department either as he's an accomplished alchemist and even shows good lateral thinking skills at the end of the 3rd loop by suggesting using alchemy to create units on the spot as a way to bypass Grimlet's seal on summoned units. [[spoiler: He's also a spy from an enemy nation, but manages to keep it under wraps in most loops.]]
64	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gets killed by Calveros offscreen at the end of the 1st loop to give Lillet time to escape. He also sells his soul to Advocat in the 3rd loop so Advocat will save Lillet.]]
65	* SenselessSacrifice: Zig-Zagged with [[spoiler:his second HeroicSacrifice above. The bells were already chiming as he made it, so Advocat doesn't have any time to actually save Lillet from danger, but neither does he have any time to make good on the sacrificing part of the deal. Bartido's deal ''does'' clue Lillet in on the fact that Advocat's deals are also wiped out when time resets, which gives her a solution to taking the Lemegeton tome from the devil without losing her soul.]]
66	* ShipTease: Teases Lillet by accusing her of having a crush on him in multiple loops, and Lillet frequently gets a CrushBlush around him. Advocat declares that EveryoneCanSeeIt. [[spoiler:Bartido goes so far as to sell his soul to Advocat to save Lillet in the 3rd loop and send her love letters in the epilogue, but nothing comes of it.]]

69	[[folder:Hiram Menthe]]
70	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hm.jpg]]
71	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
72	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal (English)
73	A student that is often seen with Opalneria.
74	----
75	* {{Necromancer}}: Hiram is Opalneria's student, which makes him an apprentice necromancer.
76	* OutOfFocus: He has the least amount of camera time of everyone else other than Lujei, and his characterization basically revolves around his crush on Opalneria.
77	* SatelliteLoveInterest: He's a male example toward Opalneria.
78	* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Gender-inverted case. Bartido expresses bafflement at Hiram's crush on Opalneria.

83	[[folder:Gammel Dore]]
84	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gd.jpg]]
85	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
86	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KirkThornton (English)
87	The headmaster of the Tower of Silver Star.
88	----
89	* BigGood: Lillet ''thinks'' he's this at first, but he ultimately proves to not be much help at all. His attempts to expedite Grimlet's destruction after hearing Lillet's warning just makes things worse and enables the devil's escape.
90	* DubNameChange: Gammel Drask (an alcoholic beverage in keeping with the themed names) became Gammel Dore ([[Literature/HarryPotter which should be obvious]]).
91	* EccentricMentor: Subverted in that he's surprisingly incompetent for a supposed mentor figure. AdultsAreUseless, after all.
92	* TheFairFolk: He's the only character other than Lillet to specialize in Glamour. Margarita steals the Morning Star grimoire from his collection.
93	[[/folder]]
94
95	[[folder:Opalneria Rain]]
96	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/or.jpg]]
97	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
98	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LaniMinella (English)
99	The necromancy instructor. Maintains a youthful appearance through magic.
100	----
101	* DarkIsNotEvil: She invokes this trope. As she states there is nothing evil about necromancy.
102	* GenreSavvy: She specializes in Necromancy, but she also knows Alchemy to cover her branch of magic's weakness to Glamour.
103	* MurderTheHypotenuse: In the fourth cycle, after Lillet convinces Gammel to abandon the plan to destroy Grimlet via Lujei's spell, Opalneria opts to convince Amoretta to sacrifice herself instead. While this was already proven to be an effective method of killing Grimlet, and Gammel attempts the same approach in the fifth cycle, it's heavily implied Opalneria's motives are at least partially because she mistakenly views Amoretta as a romantic rival for Chartreuse's feelings.
104	* {{Necromancer}}: Her specialty.
105	* OlderThanTheyLook: Gets even worse when she changes her appearance to a schoolgirl's to make things more "suitable" for her HotForStudent role.
106	* {{Tsundere}}: Opalneria has been described as... passionate.
107	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It's not stated how old she is, but she is using her magic to make herself look younger.
108	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her spell succeeds at destroying Grimlet in the first cycle, but it also kills both herself and Gammel, leaving the tower almost completely undefended when Margarita releases Calvaros and he takes over.
109	* VainSorceress: Opalneria is way older than she looks, but she keeps using magic to look younger.
110	* VillainyFreeVillain: She's a rather unpleasant woman who gets into fights with Lillet over petty issues and tends to cause more trouble than she resolves, particularly in her obsessive and one-sided love for Chartreuse, but she's at least well-intentioned and on the side of good.

113	[[folder:Chartreuse Grande]]
114	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cg_0.jpg]]
115	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
116	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelSorich (English)
117	The alchemy instructor. Looks like a lion, but he's more concerned with furthering his studies than breaking his curse.
118	----
119	* AttackBackfire: He used to be a handsome man; a woman who fell in love with him cursed him to become a half-lion, since he only cared about his magical research and didn't return her love. Unfortunately for her, he ''likes'' being a half-lion; to him, driving away further suitors and distractions is a plus.
120	* CursedWithAwesome: While it was intended as a curse, he doesn't seem to mind being a half-lion one bit.
121	* ForScience: He doesn't really care about (or consider) anything outside his magical research.
122	* HalfHumanHybrid: Although it should be noted he's actually a normal human cursed into a half-beast form.
123	* IncompatibleOrientation: Opalneria is in love with him, but he's explicitly both aromantic and asexual. She has difficulty understanding this, and thinks he just personally dislikes her.

125
126	[[folder:Advocat]]
127	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/advo.jpg]]
128	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
129	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal (English)
130	The sorcery instructor, and an actual demon.
131	----
132	* AllPowerfulBystander: Doesn't take Calvaros for threat implying he could stop him easily. Grimlet even treats Advocat as a possible threat, but with both villains Advocat doesn't get involved directly.
133	* AffablyEvil: His goal is ultimately to get people to sign away their souls in a DealWithTheDevil, but who still genuinely seems to enjoy his friendship with Gammel Dore and the others at the school. [[spoiler:He's actually on your side in every iteration, but he admits himself that it's purely because he can't get anyone's soul if they die first.]]
134	* BrilliantButLazy: Dialogue by himself and Grimlet imply he's far more powerful than he lets on, with the former actually treating him as a potential threat. Nonetheless he's not interested in getting his hands dirty.
135	* CardCarryingVillain: He makes absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that he's there to tempt the students into selling their souls. Fortunately for everyone else, he's engages in PragmaticVillainy and is a genuine friend of Gammel Dore, so he's generally on the school's side.
136	* DevilInPlainSight: Literally, but subverted in that he's not one of the villains.
137	* EvilSorcerer: He is a devil who teach sorcery.
138	* {{Hypocrite}}: When he and Grimlet meet face to face, Advocat convinces him to not start a fight by saying "When devils fight each other, only the priests win." [[spoiler: In the final loop, when Grimlet has been conned by Lillet, Advocat shows up and laughs his ass off. Grimlet asks if he was behind it, and Advocat admits it wasn't but he wishes it was. He doesn't start a fight with another demon, but he does still imply he would gladly arrange for something like Lillet scamming one [[ItAmusedMe for his own amusement]].]]
139	* IWasJustPassingThrough: [[spoiler:On one iteration, he saves everyone by asking Grimlet to kill you last, using the argument that he wants your soul, and knowing that if you survive to the fifth day you'll be able to rewind time and fix things. He justifies this by saying that he can't get everyone's soul if Grimlet kills them first, but it's implied he does care about Gammel Dore and the students to an extent.]]
140	%%* LargeHam: And how.
141	* {{Mephistopheles}}: He turns out to [[spoiler:actually ''be'' Mephistopheles, and, while his nature as a devil does shine through on many an occasion, he ends up helping out Lillet Blan the most out of the adult cast]].
142	* NotMeThisTime: When he shows up to rub salt in the wound after [[spoiler:Lillet cons Grimlet, Grimlet asks if Advocat was behind it. Advocat having so much fun watching, Grimlet's accusation, not to mention Advocat himself admitting he wished he was behind, implies he has been known to pull such tricks in the past.]]
143	* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:He opposes Grimlet indirectly, mostly because he doesn't get anyone's soul if they die before signing a contract with him.]]
144	* TallDarkAndSnarky: He takes the [[Literature/HarryPotter Snape]] role with relish.
145	* WildCard: He ''is'' a devil who could exploit the situation to his benefit if he wanted to, but he knows he has very little to gain personally from the conflict and is content with simply observing the events. [[spoiler:In the ending however, he's so impressed with Lillet's outsmarting of Grimlet that he personally backs her deal with him.]]

150	[[folder:Lujei Piche]]
151	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lp_2.jpg]]
152	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
153	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MeganHollingshead (English)
154	A ghost that haunts the Tower of Silver Star. Keeps her former lover's animated skull on her staff.
155	----
156	* CuteGhostGirl: Maintains a sexy appearance despite being incorporeal.
157	* ItAmusedMe: The reason she does anything. She knows there's a chance the spell meant to destroy Grimlet will fail, but she lies and tells her it'll work just to see what happens. Gammel calls her a "creature of whim".
158	* JacobMarleyApparel: She rants to her staff that he killed her via a poisonous rose attached in some way to her heart. The rose and vines covering her ghostly form are implied to be that rose.
159	* {{Necromancer}}: When she was alive.
160	* {{Yandere}}: She killed the man she loved (who didn't really love her back) so she could reanimate and keep his skull forever.
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder:Calvaros]]
164	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/calv.jpg]]
165	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
166	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JamiesonPrice (English)
167	The sinister sorcerer that once tried to conquer the world, whose tower was converted into the Tower of Silver Star wizarding school.
168	----
169	* TheArchmage: Right down to his title. He's the only character other than Lillet who controls all four branches of magic.
170	* TheBadGuyWins: On the first, third, and fourth cycles, after Margarita successfully releases him, he takes advantage of others killing Grimlet for him and seizes power.
171	* BigBadEnsemble: With Grimlet. Both of them are out to TakeOverTheWorld, and Lillet's problem is finding a way to stop one without leaving the other free.
172	* EvilIsHammy: He is an EvilSorcerer, and definitely talks the part.
173	* EvilOverlord: Formerly fought to TakeOverTheWorld and even after he was defeated still has some servants aiming to free him.
174	* KickTheDog: Boasts in the first loop that after Margarita freed him, he killed her.
175	* KnightOfCerebus: The game starts off mostly lighthearted. Then Calvaros shows up and explains to Lillet that everyone is dead and he will resume he war for world conquest.
176	* TheLegionsOfHell: He uses Sorcery as his primary muscle. It's implied Grimlet lent him his army.
177	* {{Necromancer}}: He can wield Necromancy, though he doesn't tend to lean on it, usually just using Ghosts and Skull Mages to eliminate the Phantoms his Sorcery is weak to.
178	* SorcerousOverlord: He is an evil sorcerer out for world domination, and aims to use Grimlet's minions to help with it.
179	* UngratefulBastard: He rewards Margarita for releasing him from his seal by either murdering her or trying to murder her.
180	* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Because he can't defeat Grimlet on his own or orchestrate his own escape from his soul container, he only wins when other characters resolve those problems for him. Margarita releases him on the first four cycles, and the other characters' efforts to deal with Grimlet usually results in most of the professors already being killed or incapacitated, allowing him to easily take over in the confusion.
181	* WouldHurtAChild: He has no qualms about killing Lillet, and he murders Margarita off-screen in the first cycle, and is implied to do the same on the second and third as well.
182	[[/folder]]
183
184	[[folder:Grimlet]]
185	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PatrickSeitz (English)
186	A demon that Calvaros bargained with for great power.
187	----
188	* BigBadEnsemble: With Calvaros. [[EvilerThanThou Grimlet is the more powerful of the two]], and unfortunately releasing him is the only way to ensure Calvaros doesn't run free.
189	* DealWithTheDevil: Cut one with Calvaros in the past to lend him an army. Calvaros is very determined to make sure he doesn't have to fulfill his end of the deal and give up his soul.
190	** [[spoiler: Lillet cuts one with him, that turns out to be a {{Wishplosion}} since her deal was for Grimlet to embrace God, something that as a demon, he can't do. As a result he is DraggedOffToHell for breaking the contract.]]
191	* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler: His fate in the final loop. Lillet offers her soul to him, and to Grimlet's shock she asks for him to embrace God. As a demon, he can't and is sent back to Hell for breaking the contract.]]
192	* KryptoniteFactor: Of the HolyBurnsEvil type. Amoretta can give up her life to defeat him.
193	* {{Wishplosion}}: [[spoiler: Is subjected to one by Lillet. She offers him her soul, in exchange for him embracing God. Grimlet can't do that, and he can't back out of the contract, so he's DraggedOffToHell.]]
