13-> '''Rumor:''' ''When the epidemic disease stroke, destiny remained cruel despite Ann's devotion and generosity. Her only redemption in life would perhaps be the agile footsteps walking towards her ahead of the reaper and the non-human eyes staring at her at the end of the night when she was on the brink of death.''
14
15-> '''Voiced by:''' Mu Xueting (Chinese)
16----
17* AmbiguousSituation: Despite what it may seem, it is not clear whether she really is a nun. Her trailer shows her acting like one and that is clearly what her design is intended to bring about, but in the actual game she wears funeral clothes (presumably from her father's funeral) and never has clergy referenced, neither in her letters nor in her deductions.
18* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Her disease stricken eyes led to her being treated with mistrust and suspicion by the other villagers during the epidemic.
19* BlackEyesOfEvil: Or, at the very least, eyes that looked sinister enough that many believed to be the eyes of the Devil.
20* CatsAreMagic: Apostle can ignore certain laws of physics and can search for and immobilize Survivors. He is also worshiped by a cult and is the reason why the dead Alva is a playable character today.
21* CreateYourOwnVillain: She was blamed for a plague that broke out in the city she lived in, mistreated as a result of this belief, and ultimately killed. Her final deduction heavily implies that, upon obtaining supernatural abilities, she proceeded to [[{{Revenge}} release another plague on the same city, deliberately targeting those who had abused her]].
22* DealWithTheDevil: Implied to have gone through with one prior to, or possibly after, her death. Your cat offered the same contract to Alva, although said by Netease itself in a different way.
23* IronicName: Her name means "grace" in Hebrew, which was the opposite of what she received after being inflicted by disease.
24* LongNeck: She has an abnormally long neck that adds in her inhuman creepiness. It seems to only become like that after she turned into a Hunter.
25* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Is followed around by (what appears to be) her pet cat.
26* KindheartedCatLover: She used to be a kind shepherdess and loves her cat, Apostle.
27* NunsAreSpooky: Although she does not appear to be a nun (her uniform is a funeral outfit), she gives the impression of one, which combined with her disturbing appearance makes her frightening to watch.
28* OnlyOneName: Her deductions and Character Day letter make no mention of her surname.
29* TragicVillain: A seemingly innocent woman whose eyes were altered by a strange disease around the time that a plague broke out in her hometown. This caused people to believe that she was the one who spread the plague, which led to someone piercing a wooden stake through her heart and leaving her to die in the wilderness (and making her fresh pickings for the forces behind Oletus Manor).
30* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Treated like a monster in life for her unusual eyes, Ann was cruelly killed on the same day as her father's funeral, after being revived she decided to be the villain everyone wanted her to be.
31* UndeadBarefooter: She goes around barefoot, complementing her ragged attire and undead status.

35!!Antonio - The Violinist
36[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20240420_181723.png]]
37-> '''Rumor:''' ''So long as the melody can move the world, Antonio doesn't care who's controlling his body.''
38
39[[spoiler: Inclination: ''A "puppet" being manipulated.'']]
40->'''Voiced by:''' Ma Yang (Chinese)
41----
42* TheAlcoholic: One of his many vices. He's even found [[DrowningMySorrows drowning his sorrows]] during the 2020 Christmas Event.
43* AmbiguousSituation: Was his DealWithTheDevil something he did of his own free will?
44** For the matter, did he truly make a DealWithTheDevil and become supernaturally gifted? Or did he only gain his in-game power after becoming a Hunter in the Manor?
45* DealWithTheDevil: A common theory among the general public on how he became so talented at music.
46* DrowningMySorrows: His quote in 2020 Christmas Event indicate this.
47-->'''Antonio:''' ... Don't get me wrong--I'm fine with spending Christmas Eve with alcohol.
48* GildedCage: His musical talent proved to be so great that it was decided by government officials that Antonio's music should only be performed for and heard by the members of the royal family. In order to ensure that he remained as a symbol of the royal family's alleged superiority, Antonio was confined to the palace and, when attempting to leave, had all but a single string plucked off his violin.
49* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While rumours about Paganini’s apparent Satanic dealings have persisted for decades, there has never been evidence that they were in anyway true. Antonio's backstory implies that, in the universe of the game, said rumours had a degree of truth to them.
50* TheHedonist: Was known to frequently gamble and indulge in other vices such as sex and wine.
51* MusicalAssassin: He can utilise his demonic power in his attacks by playing his violin.
52* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Named after the father of Niccolo Paganini, a famous and talented violinist (rumoured to have sold his soul to the Devil), who he is quite clearly based on.
53** In the early stages of his development he was even named Paganini.
54* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: A fictionalised version of the famous violinist Niccolo Paganini, a musician so skilled he was rumoured to have sold his soul to the Devil for his musical talent.
55** Unsurprisingly, Antonio's Character Day is also the real life Paganini's birthday.
56* OnlyOneName: His deductions and Character Day letter give no hint to his potential surname.
57* PrehensileHair: Which he uses to play the violin.
58* SignificantReferenceDate: Like Mary, his Character Day (October 27) takes place on the same day as his real-life inspiration's date of birth.
59* SinisterSchnoz: He has a rather prominent nose.
60* SlasherSmile: His default expression.
61* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Rare male example: he has black, really long hair that covers his face, pale skin and SlasherSmile.
62* TragicVillain: A talented violinist, inflicted with a number of physical illnesses and unable to see himself as anything other than a musician. Antonio was made a captive of the royal family and, in his desperation to regain his freedom, somehow ended up under the thrall of an unnamed entity/demon.
63* YouAreNumberSix: He is referred to by his [[spoiler: given serial number, 3-1-3]] in his [[spoiler: Experiment File]] and corresponding [[spoiler: Experiment Files]] on survivors and hunters that [[spoiler:made up the group of test subjects that failed to reach the game phase of the experiment during their iteration of Game 3.]]

68!!Galatea - The Sculptor
69[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20240420_181751.png]]
70-> '''Rumor:''' ''When she was young, Galatea always thought she was her creator's masterpiece, that is, until destiny played a sick joke on her. But she wasn't distraught. A genius sculptor can sculpt a perfect destiny for herself.''
71
72-> '''Stage Cast:''' Yagi Mashiro
73-> '''Voiced by:''' He Ruofan (Chinese), Creator/HarukaTomatsu (Japanese), Creator/CourtneyLin (English)
74----
75* AmbiguouslyGay: One of her likes is stated to be "Beautiful, Mature Women", with it being left vague wther this refers to romantic interest or something else. Many players have thus interpreted her as being sapphic.
76* BlackEyesOfEvil: She is implied to have manipulated several playable characters into committing horrendous acts and is a hunter who crushes survivors with statues and has completely dark eyes.
77* BunnyEarsLawyer: Possibly. Her sculpting abilities increased greatly after taking a commission from a wealthy gentleman but her family soon became concerned when they found out that she was talking to her sculptures.
78* TheCorruptible: It's likely she wouldn't have gone down such a dark path if she hadn't become acquainted with Baron [=DeRoss=].
79* CuteAndPsycho: She is one of the more conventionally cute Hunters and she also murdered a person to make them into one of her works of art.
80* DepravedDwarf: WordOfGod shows she was originally intended as such in her character art. However, it is unknown if this concept carried over, as her character model is actually taller than most female survivors now. It could be she was physically changed like the other Hunters by The Force of Oletus Manor.
81* EvilCripple: She hunts Survivors while moving around in her wheelchair.
82* TheFakeCutie: Her appearance is designed to appear almost harmless, while the other famale hunters are at least FemmeFatale and at most disturbing in appearance. That's her whole trick, she tries to seem like a cute and harmless girl, but is actually quite manipulative and cruel. Having manipulated [[spoiler: Lily]] into murder her abusive father, [[spoiler: Helena]] into apparently becoming a punisher and if [[spoiler: Nightmare's]] trailer means anything, she may have had some influence on [[spoiler: Orpheus']] StartOfDarkness
83* HandicappedBadass: She became wheelchair-bound after going after a statue that her father threw off a terrace. Her condition does not make her any less dangerous though.
84** Her deductions also imply that, prior to the previously mentioned event, Galatea was inflicted with an unspecified rare illness. It didn't appear to stop her from creating works of art.
85* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Heavily implied.
86* InTheBlood: Her deductions reveal that she comes from a family of artists.
87* LightIsNotGood: Galatea stands out among other hunters for having a palette mainly made up of light colors, while the others are associated with dark colors. She is also a manipulative girl, with a cruel skill that may or may not have manipulated [[spoiler: Helena into killing Ada Mesmer]].
88* LivingStatue: Can create these to pursue Survivors.
89* MadArtist: She is a sculptor who is malevolent, obsessive and psychotic. She also seemingly murdered her nurse and had her be put inside one of her sculptures.
90* MeaningfulName: Her name means "she who is milk-white" in Greek and she is shown to be very pale.
91* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: She shares a name with a famous statue that is said to have come to life in Myth/GreekMythology.
92* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Shares quite a few similarities with Camille Claudel, a French sculptor who spent a large portion of her life confined in an asylum, following her family's decision to have her institutionalised after allegedly witnessing her frequently demonstrate erratic behavior.
93* OffscreenTeleportation: Interestingly, any time Galatea has to leave her wheelchair, she'll have it appear exactly where she needs it to be.
94* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Like Geisha, she is able to phase through windows at will, and seems to be able to control objects with her mind. Rather than striking Survivors, she will throw her weapon, and it will come back to her. She also floats unnaturally anytime she climbs a ladder before landing back in her wheelchair.
95* SevenDeadlySins: Her "Court 3 Commissioner" costume from Season 13 Essence 2 represents the sin of Wrath, contrasting Ganji's "Worker Bee" costume from Season 22 Essence 3, which presents the [[SevenHeavenlyVirtues virtue of Patience]].

100
101[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20240420_181811.png]]
102-> '''Rumor:''' ''During that scientific experiment, Percy created a monster — then someone recreated Percy.''
103----
104* AmbiguouslyGay: His relationship with Mikhail. They were extremely close, and even part of Percy's motivation to revive the dead came from his desire to see Mikhail once again. Mikhail was also stated as being willing to die for Percy's experiment and is implied to be the one he used as the basis for his "monster".
105* {{BFS}}: He uses a claymore to attack Survivors.
106* CoolOldGuy: One of the oldest hunters and a powerful mad scientist who has practically discovered how to revive the dead.
107* ConnectedAllAlong: Andrew Kreiss's first letter reveals that the bodies used in Percy's initial experiments were provided to him by the Gravekeeper.
108* {{Expy}}: Of both [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Victor Frankenstein and his Monster.]]
109* GeniusBruiser: A MadScientist who is probably only behind Burke intellectually and one of the physically strongest hunters.
110* HeadSwap: He has an A-tier skin that transforms him into Zazie from ''Manga/ThePromisedNeverland''.
111* LostLenore: His assistant Mikhail died in the name of Percy's experiments, making him a melancholy man even as a hunter.
112* MadScientist: To be expected from a Victor Frankenstein {{expy}}.
113* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Very likely named after Creator/PercyByssheShelley, the husband of the author of Literature/{{Frankenstein}}, Creator/MaryShelley (and who is said to have possessed a few similar characteristics to the protagonist of his wife's famous novel).
114* OurZombiesAreDifferent: An Ex of Victor Frankenstein who was transformed into a monster. Percy declares that as a Undead he has become the perfect human.
115* TarotMotifs: His chosen tarot card for the official "Arcana Series" merchandise is [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards The Tower]].

120!!The Will Brothers - The Breaking Wheel
121[[quoteright:500:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20240420_182606.png]]
122-> '''Rumor:''' ''A trio of performance artists with odd figures showed up on the street. Covered in a bedspread and wearing masks, they're performing an uninspired drama while twisting their bodies into peculiar shapes.''
123
124->'''Voiced by:''' Liu Yao (Chinese)
125----
126* AllThereInTheManual: Their individual names - Ridicule (the brother at the top), Pessimistic (the brother in the middle) and Reticent (the brother at the bottom) - are only mentioned in their deductions.
127* CoolMask: They wear theatre masks.
128* DepravedDwarf: All three of them have dwarfism and work together to hunt Survivors.
129* EmotionalBruiser: Pessimistic Will, [[TheEeyore The Middle Brother]], tends to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin cry emphatically]] while also performing some of the most debilitating attacks on Survivors using his unlocked Ranged Abilities.
130* GigglingVillain: It is impossible not to hear their constant cackling, especially the youngest brother, [[TheHyena Joking Will.]]
131* HaughtyHmph: Reticent Will gives an impressively grumpy "MEH" while the trio searches for Survivors.
132* TheKilljoy: Reticent Will, [[FunHatingVillain The Eldest Brother]], tends to growl and scoff loudly while also tossing makeshift bear-traps at Survivors to either slow them down or halt their movements completely as a means of ending a chase faster.
133* ParentalAbandonment: The three brothers were abandoned by their parents at a young age.
134* RollingAttack: When entering "wheel form".
135* SerialKiller: A trio of them; the brothers do a performance at night, and as soon as they are alone with the last spectator, they ask [[PreMortemOneLiner "Have you seen our parents?"]] Whatever the spectator responds with, it always ends with a pile of crushed, rotting human remains being hidden in the back alleys.
136* SignificantReferenceDate: The brothers Character Day is on Saint Catherine's Day, which commemorates the martyrdom of [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints Christian Patron Saint Catherine of Alexandria]], who was set to be executed via a breaking wheel, only to be beheaded instead after the breaking wheel broke after she touched it. It is this said saint, as well as the events leading up to her death, that inspired the name of the theatre where the Will Brothers performed and, as their character trailer shows, their most common performance onstage.
137* StatusInflictionAttack: Their main ability is entering Wheel Form and running over Survivors to Pierce them with Splinters of wood and metal. These Piercings don't inhibit the Survivors in any way, rather, they add stacks of potential damage to them, meaning that with enough stacks of pierce, that Survivor is in danger of being [[OneHitPointWonder instantly incapacitated]] when next hit by a regular Attack.

144-> '''Rumor:''' ''"The unheard are doomed to be slaughtered, like fish in a net." It was only after grasping this harsh truth that Grace took up her harpoon.''
145
146->'''Voiced by:''' Anqi Zhang (Chinese), Creator/HoukoKuwashima (Japanese)
147----
148* AmbiguouslyHuman: Even before her transformation into a Hunter; her gill-like scars are shown to have been present on her neck since she was a young girl. She is also said to have felt more of a connection to the fish swimming in the water than she did to the humans in her village. Her first letter implies that she is a [[Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth deep one hybrid]].
149* CuteMute: Is said to have never uttered a single word in her life and is one of the more innocent-looking Hunters, both before and after her transformation.
150* CuteMonsterGirl: Grace is implied to be a Deep One hybrid by her letters, and is hardly the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks of a sea monster, being a cute girl and perhaps the most conveniently attractive hunter. This is {{Downplayed|Trope}} on some of her skins, which erase her more monstrous features, making her more similar to an ordinary girl, but still keeping her empty eyes.
151* EarlyBirdCameo: Can be briefly glimpsed during the official Time of Reunion announcement trailer, which premiered before the character was officially revealed.
152* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has what seem to be scars on her neck that resemble gills.
153* MermanityEnsues: Her debut S-tier skin, Halberd of Silence, stands out among her skins for being a literal mermaid, rather than a humanoid girl with aquatic features.
154* MysteriousPast: No hint is made as to why she was abandoned as a baby and left to float upstream in a broken fishing basket, nor is any explanation give for her gill-like scars.
155* MosesInTheBulrushes: Was found in a broken fishing basket as a baby, after floating upstream near a fishing village.
156* OnlyOneName: Despite seemingly being adopted by a local couple from the village, her deductions make no mention of her surname. This, of course, is to assume she was even given one.
157* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Implied to be the "mermaid" that is alluded to in the Time of Reunion announcement trailer.
158* TheScapegoat: When disaster once again struck the fishing village she resided in, the villagers came to believe that their previous worship of Grace, brought about by the belief that it was her arrival in the village that had brought about the end of a previous disaster, had led to them inadvertently betraying the "true gods" who were punishing them for their heresy.
159* SevenHeavenlyVirtues: Her "Mayfly" costume from Season 22 Essence 3 represents the virtue of Diligence, contrasting Fiona's "Court 5 Commissioner" costume from Season 13 Essence 2, which represents the [[SevenDeadlySins sin of Sloth]].
160* TheSpeechless: Is said to have been unable to speak ever since she was a child. This led to her being isolated by her peers in the village as a result.
161* TragicVillain: Was sunk to the bottom of the lake by the people of her village after they became convinced that she was responsible for the fishing disaster that was plaguing them.

168-> '''Rumor:''' ''In the selection of models, Philippe has a unique set of criteria, and in terms of wax sculpture decoration, he always listens to his sister.''
169
170->'''Voiced by:''' Chen Haotian (Chinese), Michael Christopher (English)
171----
172* ArtAttacker: Attacks survivors with jets of wax with the intention of immobilizing or injuring them if he has maximum presence.
173* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Intentionally or not, he ''did'' destroy a lot of people’s lives, but it’s clear that he loves his sister above all else.
174* InconsistentSpelling: His official character trailer spells his name as "Philip" while other official sources spell his name as "Philippe".
175* MadArtist: He started off life as a [[ObliviouslyEvil misguided]] but relatively sane and esteemed wax artist, but once his sister died he became obsessive with his art and may or may not have created statues by encasing "criminals" in wax.
176* MissingMom: The siblings’ mom fell off the top of the building and died one day after going to work. It’s unclear if there was any complications behind her death, though the fact that they were warned to not look into her death or believe any rumors didn’t make it seem like a mere work accident.
177* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: Philippe currently has a monstrous appearance befitting a Hunter with purple skin, tattered clothes, and burn scars; whereas his sister is shown through the wax figure as a beautiful young woman with a peaceful and gentle expression.
178* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Likely named after Philippe Curtius, a Swiss physician and wax modeler.
179* NoNameGiven: No hint is made of his sister's name in his deductions. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] later as WordOfGod would later reveal it to be Christina.
180* ObliviouslyEvil: His trailer and in-character replies from the official Japanese Twitter imply that he started his research for the purpose of stopping criminals before they could even do bad things in the first place and firmly believes he is "destroying evil", even though he was making people be judged despite their assertions of being innocent.
181* OnlyOneName: He and his sister's family name is not given in his deductions.
182* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Potentially. Philippe is a practitioner of physiognomy, a pseudoscience that links facial features with criminal behavior. If you pay attention in his trailer he uses a black man to exemplify this. It is unclear, however, if this is a sign that Philippe has racist beliefs or if this is just a coincidence.
183* RevengeByProxy: An apparent victim of this. His deductions imply that someone who had been wronged by Philippe murdered Christina in revenge while he was away.

204
205-> '''Rumor:''' ''As she got older, Keigan came to understand that only the voices of people with "power" were heard. But it doesn't matter, now she is enough to be the one who can decide everything.''
206->'''Voiced by:''' Sun Chang (Chinese), Creator/LaniMinella (English)
207----
208* {{Acrofatic}}: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Keigan is a fat and powerful woman, and although she doesn't have great acrobatic skills, she has one of the highest movement speeds among the playable characters.
209* AmbiguousSituation: Orpheus and Alice seem to believe that the "hunters" are [[spoiler: drug induced distorted versions of different factors during the "Carnival Games" like the executioners or other survivors]]. Keigan, however, contradicts this idea, as [[spoiler: she is the only experiment subject under the influence of the manor's drugs according to Jack's experiment file]]. How Keigan became a hunter and developed her "special abilities" is unclear.
210* CaneFu: Uses one as a melee weapon.
211* DependingOnTheArtist: Some of her appearances in anniversary and promotional art depicts her a bit less monstrous looking.
212* DoppelgangerAttack: Can create clones of herself to attack survivors in her movement range, although they only deal half as much damage as a normal attack.
213* EarlyBirdCameo: Keigan first appears in Jack's second letter, where she acts as both the interviewer and interviewee recounting her encounter with the Ripper in the manor (something that her Background story trailer implies is something she may do on a common basis).
214* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Calling her evil might be an exaggeration, but Keigan is all but outright stated to have murdered her brother and is heavily implied to be associated with the people in charge of the manor. Nevertheless, her deductions imply that she genuinely cares about her sister-in-law and young nephew.
215* FightingIrish: Keigan is of Irish descent and has no problem attacking Survivors who cross her path.
216* GenderBlenderName: Her first and middle names are traditionally masculine, though "Keigan" has become a somewhat gender neutral name in current-day.
217* {{Gonk}}: She exploits this trope. Formerly a BigBeautifulWoman, Keagan [[TarnishingTheirOwnBeauty purposely modified her appearance]] so that she would not be considered attractive for an arranged marriage.
218* HighHeelPower: Keigan is a strong woman, with inexplicable abilities, and whose high heels do not prevent her from being the fastest hunter.
219* {{Hypocrite}}: She deemed her brother unfit to represent justice because he was taking bribes, but her solution to the problem was poison him. Her Background story trailer implies that deep down, [[HypocrisyNod she is aware that she is this]].
220* HypocriteHasAPoint: Even if her methods were somewhat morally questionable, it would be quite unlikely that anything else could be done about her brother, considering the laws of the time, his connections and the fact that she was a woman, it is extremely likely that her brother would become a KarmaHoudini if she didn't act.
221* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her word-for-word justification for poisoning her brother, who was accepting bribes, and therefore unfit to be a judge (according to her).
222* ALighterShadeOfGrey: Although Keigan is a genuinely well-intentioned woman and is shown to be quite kind, she undoubtedly used some morally questionable methods to get where she is today, having poisoned her brother due to the fact that he was a corrupt judge as [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty she considered it unlikely that he would be affected by any consequences]], as he had money and connections ([[CrapsackWorld which considering the world they live]], [[VillainHasAPoint isn't entirely wrong]]).
223* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: How she altered her appearance is never spelled out. It could be anything from plastic surgery, to legitimate supernatural means.
224* MenActWomenAre: Sadly, Keigan's freedom to speak her mind was expected to [[DeliberateValuesDissonance stay at the dinner table]], while her brothers were encouraged to pursue their similarly career-orientated dreams.
225* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: She has an unnatural amount of incredibly long, frightening teeth hidden under her frown.
226* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Named after William Nicholas Keogh, an controversial irish Judge and politician, who was frequently retrated in exagerated caricatures, very similar to Keigan's design.
227* NonStandardCharacterDesign: {{Downplayed}}. While other humanoid hunters have their quirks, Keigan is the only character intentionally drawn to have an unrealistic design, having a [[TopHeavyGuy noticeably large body but thin arms and legs]] with the intention of making her look like a caricature. She's also the only hunter to have visible normal eyes instead of [[BlackEyesOfEvil black eyes]] [[note]]Burke has them too, but they are covered by his glasses. [[/note]]
228* PerpetualFrowner: Aside from some official art, she almost never smiles.
229* PromotedToPlayable: First appears as the unseen author of Jack's second letter. Come the following year, Keigan was made a playable Hunter.
230* TopHeavyGuy: A rare female example; Her neck, chest, upper torso, and rump are quite large and bountiful, contrasting greatly with her thin limbs.
231* UnseenNoMore: Keigan is first alluded to in Jack's second letter, and was added to the game as a playable character the following year.
232* VagueAge: Said to be an older Huntress in her character design notes, but her actual age is not revealed, the fact that she became a judge at the end of deductions implies that she is at least 43 years old[[note]] The youngest judge in Irish history was a 42-year-old woman[[/note]] .
233* VoiceOfTheLegion: As her Background story trailer goes on, the voices of her younger and older selves begin to merge together.
234-->'''Keigan:''' Justice needs obedience. Justice needs ''sacrifice''. '''It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!!'''

242Alva Lorenz experienced two devastating fires in his life. The first fire took his friend and left behind an invention that brought only misfortune. The second fire burned away his guilt and gave him a new life. Alva came to the conclusion that no formula nor theory could predict human nature. Only his service could ever stand by his side.
243->'''Voiced by:''' Dong Shengzhang (Chinese), Creator/KenjiroTsuda (Japanese), Mike Smith (English)
244----
245* BrokenPedestal: Alva's assistant, Luca Balsa, idolized Alva, as revealed in the Prisoner's 1st Character Letter. However, after Luca suspected Alva of being a plagiarist, he lost all respect towards his former mentor.
246* DealWithTheDevil: Hinted at during his Background Story trailer and further explored in his Deductions.
247* EarlyBirdCameo: Initially appears in Prisoner's character trailer, 2 years prior to his release. Additionally, a man of his description is described in Ann's 1st and 2nd Character Day letters.
248* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Alva's first appearance in Luca's Character Trailer appeared very different to his appearance when he became playable.
249* TheMentor: Took on Luca Balsa as a student. Many people believed that Luca was being trained to inherit Alva's mantle.
250* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: First name comes from Thomas Alva Edison's middle name.
251* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Initially based on Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor.
252* PromotedToPlayable: First appears in Prisoner's character trailer before later being made playable.
253* ShockAndAwe: His power revolving around the concept of electricity, allowing him to create electromagnetic fields and even manipulate the movement and progress of ciphers around him.
254* TarotMotifs: His chosen tarot card for the official "Arcana Series" merchandise is, unsurprisingly, [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards The Hermit]].
255* YouRemindMeOfX: Alva sees Luca as a reminder of Luca's father as seen visually in Alva's Character Trailer.

264-> '''Rumor:''' ''Civility and morality were buried before dawn. As he walks alone through the blizzard, Ithaqua has long forgotten who he watches over during the long night.''
265Born as a twin son of the Norwell family in a town wracked by superstition, the boy was presumed stillborn by his family and was abandoned and left to rot in the wilderness during a raging blizzard. Found, revived and later raised by a suspected witch, the boy would remain unaware of his true origins up until the day that the magistrate's son - his face a mirror to that of the boy's - would lead a mob of villagers into the Icy Forest and take away his mother to be tortured. Though the boy would succeed in infiltrating the village and rescuing his mother, he would return to his home in the woods with a woman who could no longer recognise him and whose remaining life would prove to be short-lived. From that day forward, anyone who chose to enter the northern forest on a stormy night would find themselves prey to Ithaqua, the walking death.
266->'''Voiced by:''' An Zhi (Chinese)
267----
268* AbsurdlySharpClaws: His hands resemble an animal's claws.
269* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Nathaniel Norwell, son of the local village's magistrate, is said to have been a dead-ringer to his long-lost twin brother; something that proved to be incredibly useful when the latter set out to rescue his mother.
270* AmbiguousSituation: Concerning his "revival from the dead". Was his family simply too quick to write him off as stillborn and leave him to rot in the forest, only for the presumed witch to nurse him back to health via the use of body heat, or did he truly die and was in fact brought back to life by an actual witch?
271* ArmedLegs: Large, curved metal blades are bound to his legs, which serve as stilts.
272* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: If one his listed likes being birds is any indication.
273* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Loosely based on Lovecraft's version of the yeti.
274* BlackEyesOfEvil: Human eyes cannot be seen while he's wearing the mask; only pure black sclera and dull, icy blue irises.
275* BlowYouAway: It is noted that he has mastered the ability to conjure tempests and store wind power.
276* BravingTheBlizzard: Is noted to often appear during blizzards.
277* ChekhovsGunman: The name "Ithaqua", along with allusions to icy forests and witches, was first mentioned during the 2022 Halloween Event. Ithaqua was released as a Hunter the following year.
278* ConnectedAllAlong: His design notes reveal him to possess an, as of yet unspecified connection, to both Lakeside Village and the Forest of No Return.
279* CreepyBlueEyes: Possesses dull, icy blue irises, along with BlackEyesOfEvil.
280* DontGoInTheWoods: In this case, he's the danger; it is said that he attacks anyone who enters the forests during stormy nights.
281* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: A Hunter, who more than likely has killed a number of people who have entered the woods in which he resides during stormy night. Nevertheless, he deeply cares about his foster mother.
282* HappilyAdopted: Upon being found abandoned in the forest during a blizzard, the boy was subsequently found by a red-haired and green-eyed suspected witch, who would go on to raise the boy as her own, teaching him how to read and write. Even after unwilling coming into contact with his biological family, the boy's loyalties remained with his adopted mother, a love that would persist long after she died from her wounds.
283* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Eventually came to believe this after his mother was captured and tortured into insanity by his long-lost identical twin brother.
284--> Witches do not exist. Humans are the true devil.
285* KillAndReplace: Upon infiltrating the village, the boy murdered his long-lost twin and disguised himself as him, forging a suicide note in his brother's handwriting before escaping back to his forest home with his mother. The only person to suspect foul play was the town's magistrate, who was, nevertheless, incredibly reluctant to reveal his reasoning for his accusations.
286* OnlyOneName: Having thought him dead, his family felt no need to give the boy his own name or consider him a part of the Norwell family. His deductions, likewise, make no mention of what his adopted mother may have named him. In the end, Ithaqua is both the only name he is known to possess and the only name he seemingly desires to be known by.
287* ParentalAbandonment: On account of his parents - or at the very least his father - presuming him dead at birth and leaving his "corpse" to rot in the forest, lest their family be accused of falling prey to a witch's curse.
288* PowerfulPick: Wields a large wooden ice axe with a lantern attached to it.
289* TarotMotifs: His chosen tarot for the official "Arcana Series" merchandise is [[UsefulNotes/TarotCards The Moon]].
290* UnnamedParent: Both his biological parents and his foster mother have yet to be named. His birth mother, however, might be called Janet.
291* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wears a white mask, which gives him an air of inhumanity.

299-> '''Rumor:''' ''Beneath the spotlight, she was always a dull gray; until she met that stroke of red. When the woman with a ram symbol painted between her brows gently knocked on the dressing room, all would be rewritten.''
300For years, Sangria's life was bathed in grey. Onstage she played the role of a tool as the theatre's means of making money; offstage she was little more than a toy for her father, to beat and abuse as he saw fit. It was not until that fateful day where she would encounter that stroke of red, bathed on the woman with a ram symbol painted between her brows, that all would be rewritten. Though her act of defiance led her back to that small closet from her childhood, the words of the lady in red allowed Sangria to understand a dark secret of mankind; there can be no rebirth without pain. On that silent night, when the throat of the "lamb" was slit and the sacred candlelight illuminated the face of the lady in red, everything that Sangria had wished for came true. Once the ritual to summon the "gods" was invoked, nothing would ever be the same. The cheers of the audience lit Sangria's heart ablaze; once the performance was complete, the theatre was left lifeless and in ruins. All that remained was a spotless cape hanging in the dressing room, and the ghostly shadow of a mountain ram.
301->'''Voiced by:'''
302----
303* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Her hands are unusually large and claw-like.
304* AbusiveParents: Sangria's father was an opera house manager, and also a rather excessive drinker, whose belt was responsible for a great number of marks that covered his daughter's back. As a child, Sangria would often be forced to perform onstage, and be harshly punished if she either refused or failed to live up to her father's expectations. Her father's abuse of her did not cease once she had come of age, with him having no issue throwing her back into a small closet that she had frequently been locked in during her childhood for violating the rule prohibiting actors from becoming too close to members of the audience.
305* AnimalMotifs: Lambs. In Christianity, the lamb represents Christ as both suffering and triumphant. It was also tradition in the Old Testament to sacrifice a lamb to reestablish purity or to invoke forgiveness.
306* {{Bifauxnen}}: Her design intent, Sangria is an actress who specializes in trouser roles (when a male character is played by a woman) and therefore has a slightly more androgynous design than most female hunters.
307* BlackEyesOfEvil: Possesses almond-shaped, glossy black eyes.
308* CastingAShadow: Has the ability to transform into a disintegrated, humanoid, shadowy silhouette with virtually no actual face nor limbs, with the rest of her body transformed into a hazy torrent of shadows, black smoke, and ashes resembling a tornado.
309* ClosetPunishment: Was frequently locked in a closet for prolonged periods of time by her father as a form of punishment.
310* DarkIsEvil: A hunter who walks in the shadows and can literally merge with it, as well as wearing completely dark clothing.
311* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: In stark contrast to many of the other female Hunters.
312* MeaningfulName: "Sangria" means "bloodletting" in Spanish. Bloodletting was the practice of drawing blood from a patient to prevent or cure illness and diseases. After all, "there is no rebirth without pain".
313* MissingMom: The only mention we have of Sangria's mother is Sangria's extended backstory noting how her mother drinking the contents of a stench-filled bowl set the stage for what would be Sangria's life prior to her fateful meeting with the lady in red.
314* SelfMadeOrphan: It is all but outright stated that Sangria murdered her father after years of suffering his abuse.
315* ShadowWalker: Her main ability.
316* StatuesqueStunner: Unnaturally tall, and possesses a curvaceous hourglass silhouette.
317* UncertainDoom: Her final deduction reveals that, at the end of her final performance, Sangria chose to leap into the suspiciously realistic flames that surrounded her, as told by apparent eyewitness accounts. In none of these accounts did Sangria walk out during the curtain call afterwards.
318* UnnamedParent: Both her father and mother go unnamed in her deductions.
319* VillainTeleportation: Can teleport to locations she has previously passed in her furtive mode.

339-> '''Rumor:''' ''Once the friend left, that bizarre journal provided the perfect explanation for Ivy's symptoms, and the "gifts" of the Yithian brought her to a distant place.''
340
341Almost all the residents of the town knew of the Lawson family's conjoined sisters. From the moment they were born, it was believed that they would die in due time. However, their father and mother refused to give up on them and gave them names - Ivy and Edith. Ivy still remembers how the laughter and joy at home melted into silence, after well-intentioned actions did not go as planned. Severe wound infection took Edith away from her on the sixth day after the separation operation, and also gave Ivy disability that had the potential to kill her at any given time. Now able to look directly at Edith’s face for the first time in her, young Ivy felt a huge absurdity: when the soul left Edith’s body, she almost felt her own death.
342
343During the years that Ivy spent at an academic institution overseas, she showed amazing academic talent and became friends with someone who shared a similar fate to herself. Unlike her friend, who was obsessed with the field of spiritual healing, Ivy showed an extraordinary interest in soul science. She came to believe that once the soul and spirit can be accurately described, measured and studied, this transcendent and ultimate knowledge would be able to fill the deepest void in her heart. Perhaps moved by her obsession, her friend's initial confusion about her research gradually turned into encouragement, and they provided Ivy with pharmacological technical support from the perspective of psychiatric research.
344
345As she researched further, Ivy discovered that she suffered from intermittent amnesia and constantly felt as though she was immersed in a dream. However, this was not wholly negative. During those brief gaps in her memory, Ivy experienced a leap across time jumping lightly and flexibly from the distant past to the present. The Ancient Earth, its lush vegetation, and the smell of minerals in its waters felt as though it was not so long ago. Unfortunately, her situation didn’t last long. After the completion of her studies, her friend departed, and the feeling she had felt became increasingly diluted. One day, however, Ivy received some documentary fragments and a diary, which provided a complete explanation for the symptoms she was experiencing. Even though the writer had professional academic qualifications, the conclusion in its contents sounded like the ramblings of a madman: it told of an ancient existence that traveled through space and time and freely occupies it captives' mind and intellect.
346
347Ivy chose to grasp onto this last fragile straw. When she was conscious, she felt that she had transformed into some kind of indescribale alien, with three huge eyes unnaturally embedded in the eye sockets, while her human throat uttered some incomprehensible and wild syllables. However, she believed that what she was experiencing was, in fact, a “gift”.
348
349Gradually, Ivy stopped showing up to school. No one knew whether she had locked herself in her room again or had instead gone somewhere much farther away...
350
351->'''Voiced by:'''
352----
353* AdaptationalJerkass: While the yithans are far from saints, they were never explicitly malicious and were mostly [[OrangeAndBlueMorality morally questionable scholars]]. "Ivy" however not only acts in an overtly malicious manner, but is quite happy to hunt survivors during the "carnival games".
354* AmbiguouslyRelated: The exact nature of her friend's studies, and the way in which they chose to assist her - pharmacology from the perspective of psychiatric assistance - raises the implication that said friend might have been [[spoiler: the lord of Oletus Manor.]]
355* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear how much of the Shadow we see is the real Ivy and how much is the Yith possessing her. Her trailer implies that Ivy is at least partially aware of what the Yith does with her body and is more than happy to have been possessed, while the description of her powers implies Ivy is no longer there.
356* AngstySurvivingTwin: The materials describing her make it clear that she blames herself for the death of her conjoined twin sister, Edith, even though theoretically she could do nothing to stop it.
357* CommonalityConnection: During her studies, Ivy became friends with a person said to have possessed a similar fate to herself. Whereas Ivy was interested in soul science, her friend was more intrigued by spiritual healing.
358* ConjoinedTwins: Was born conjoined to her sister, Edith. Edith died shortly after a separation operation was performed on the twins.
359* DarkIsEvil: She is dressed in dark colors and is posessed by an malovelent extraterrestrial being, using its powers to torment Survivors. Fitting for a Hunter whose title is "The Shadow".
360* {{Expy}}: To both the protagonist and titular creature of ''Literature/TheShadowOutOfTime''.
361* FanDisservice: She has a tiny waist, which may deceive at first glance as being something done to make her attractive, but upon closer examination, one notices that her body reaches BodyHorror levels with how thin it is.
362* GlowingGem: The gem necklace around her neck glows with a little red light.
363* LeanAndMean: Ivy is probably the thinnest hunter, even compared to the undead hunters, and is quite dangerous, seeming quite happy to have her body used by an amoral alien.
364* ItsAllMyFault: Blamed herself for Edith's death. It is implied that she was the one who convinced Edith to agree to the operation, and never forgave herself for doing so.
365* LaserGuidedAmnesia: As her research progressed, Ivy came to realise that she was suffering from intermittent amnesia.
366* MeaningfulName: "Ivy" is symbolic of everlasting life, devotion, fidelity, and loyalty - this reflects both Ivy's devotion to the memory of her sister, Edith, and the implied relationship she possesses with the Yithian that inhabits her body.
367* NightmareFace: Her face is shrouded in shadow and twisted to resemble that of a Yithian, with Survivors that stare at her face being afflicted with the "Corruption" status effect that culminates in them losing control of their character.
368* PeoplePuppets: The Yithian occupies Ivy's body, and the two can both merge and separate from each other at will.
369* PosthumousSibling: Her conjoined twin sister, Edith, who died six days after the operation to have the two removed from each other was performed.
370* PuppetFighter: Both Ivy's main body and the Yithian spirit can be controlled by the player. The Yithian has the ability to latch onto Survivors but is unable to directly attack them, as well as being able to go through walls and pallets.
371* SlasherSmile: Wears a huge upward grin that displays not a hint of a kindness.
372* SurvivorGuilt: Undoubtedly felt guilty that Edith had been the one to die after the operation that Ivy had convinced her to agree to have performed on them.
373* ThirdEye: While perhaps not quite a traditional example of the trope, she possesses three glowing eyes, and her connection to the Yithian allows her to see the universe in a way far differently than she did as an average human.
