17The protagonist of the game. A young witch charged with protecting the Sea Kingdom alongside her familiars. She is the only daughter of the Great Sorcerer, Meikai.
18----
19* AdaptationalWimp: In the game, she's more than capable of fighting effectively, even defeating Orca by herself. In the manga, she does almost no fighting at all.
20* AffectionateNickname: Wadda.
21* AllLovingHero: Deconstructed. She thinks the best of everybody, and the closest she gets to hating the villains is deciding she can't trust them, and that they have to be stopped for others' protection. Her endless kindness, however, easily lets any nefarious plans the villains have slip through, making her a magnet for all sorts of trouble, especially with how it factors into the endings of the game.
22* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:[[GoryDiscretionShot Whatever Sal does to her]] in the first normal ending results in her gleefully becoming the Red Witch.]]
23* BlushSticker: They're even visible on her sprite.
24* BraidsOfAction: Twin long braids and can fight back with magic.
25* BrainyBrunette: Unfortunately, she's not too quick on the uptake when it comes to other matters...
26* BreakTheCutie: In the final chapters of the game, she [[spoiler:is painfully forced to remember how she was betrayed by Sal, used as a pawn of the Dead Sea Kingdom, trapped in a nightmarish world by Princess Mikotsu, sees her homeland corrupted into what can only be described as Hell under water, and the boy who loves her is nearly killed before her eyes]]. Depending on the ending, she then either [[spoiler:is tortured until she joins the forces of evil, makes a HeroicSacrifice to save Samekichi]], or [[spoiler:is ''also'' almost killed, only being saved by Samekichi's HeroicSacrifice — but spends a long time after that blaming herself for not protecting him]].
27* TheCameo: Appears in ''VideoGame/MogekoCastle'' as a figurine on Somewhat Strange Mogeko's shelf.
28* [[CluelessChickMagnet Clueless Dude Magnet]]: Attracts the attention of [[{{Tsundere}} Samekichi]], [[TheStoic Fukami]], and [[spoiler:[[{{Yandere}} Sal]]]], but is incredibly innocent to their affections.
29* CuteWitch: Cute as a button and is a sweet girl at heart.
30* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: [[spoiler:Gets them in the True Ending after Samekichi sacrifices himself. Her eyes return to normal when he returns years later.]]
31* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:In the True Ending, Wadanohara does finally get to be happy together with Samekichi, but she's put through ''hell'' first, and then has to wait many years while Samekichi fights through the Sea of Death.]]
32* InnocentGrayEyes: Gray eyes to highlight her innocence and her beauty.
33* InvertedPortrait: Shown this way near the end when [[spoiler:Princess Mikotsu]] briefly manages to [[spoiler:trap her in a LotusEaterMachine]].
34* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the second normal ending, she follows in her father's footsteps and becomes a new Cast Pearl to ward off the Dead Sea.]]
35* JackOfAllStats: All of her stats are well balanced.
36* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She can't recall the exact circumstances of Samekichi's apparent betrayal. [[spoiler:This is because she's under a curse from Sal, and feels intense pain if she begins to remember anything.]]
37* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:To Samekichi. When she sacrifices herself in the second normal ending, Samekichi throws himself into the sea because his home feels empty without her in it.]]
38* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:Princess Mikotsu traps her mind in a version of Deepsea Town where nothing bad will ever happen to her friends... because they're all dead. Her father's spirit helps bring her out of it.]]
39* NiceGirl: Her kindness is the reason why pretty much everyone in the Sea Kingdom adores her [[spoiler:and why her sacrifice in the second Normal Ending ended up having such an impact]].
40* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Samekichi in the True Ending.]]
41* OnlySaneWoman: Is the only one that even considers the possibility that [[spoiler:Samekichi is not the traitor and Tostasu Kingdom might have a reason for attacking]], which is proven to be correct.
42* SailorFuku: Some of her outfits borrow elements of the sailor fuku, fitting her status as a sea witch and her overall nautical motif.
43* StepfordSmiler: Wadanohara is a Type A at times. When something upsets her, she'll hide it under a cheerful facade, although most people can easily sense something's amiss.
44* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In the True Ending, Wadanohara gains a rank, going from ordinary sea witch to "The Great Sea Witch".]]
45* VagueAge: She's ''really'' short, but seems OlderThanSheLooks. It's implied that she might not grow properly in a conversation with [[spoiler:Samekichi]], possibly due to being a [[MageSpecies witch]] that was born from an egg.
46* IWillWaitForYou: [[spoiler:What she does in the true ending for Samekichi, through Fukami's encouragement and consoling.]]

50[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/samekichi.png]]
51[[caption-width-right:250:"...Wadanohara."]]
52Wadanohara's first familiar, a shark boy. For unknown reasons, he left her side at some point in the past and now tries to force her out of the Sea Kingdom. Is the prime suspect of being [[TheMole the traitor]] in Blue Sea Kingdom.
53----
54* ArcVillain: He’s the main antagonistic character in the first act, as he tries to keep Wada out of the sea, but he [[ForcedIntoEvil isn’t exactly a villain]].
55* AndroclesLion: For most of the story, Wadanohara's friends think that Samekichi is the traitor who attacked Wadanohara, stole the sacred sword, and damaged the barrier stones. However, Wadanohara repeatedly refuses to believe this, choosing to believe in Samekichi. Wadanohara's faith in Samekichi is rewarded — Samekichi isn't the traitor, ''Sal'' is, and Samekichi ends up being a valuable ally.
56* BabiesEverAfter: A bonus scene in ''-Reboot-'' reveals that Samekichi and Wadanohara had a child named Minami.
57* BadassInDistress: At the hands of both Orca and Sal. The former brutally beats and plans to eat him, while the latter traps him in the Sea of Death, both times requiring Wada to save him.
58* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: His antagonistic behavior towards Wadanohara is both to prevent her from regaining her lost memories — which carries a chance of permanently breaking her mind — and to keep her away from the machinations of the Dead Sea.
59* CainAndAbel: Abel to Sal's Cain. Sal, the traitor, hates him and decides to frame him for being the traitor. Why is never explained.
60* DrivenToSuicide: [[GoryDiscretionShot Though the game never shows it directly]], it is heavily implied that he does this in the second Normal Ending in order to be {{together|InDeath}} with Wadanohara, who pulled a HeroicSacrifice earlier.
61* EarnYourHappyEnding: In the True Ending, Samekichi does finally get to be happy together with Wadanohara, but he has to go through hell, ''literally'' (in the form of the Sea of Death), first.
62* EleventhHourRanger: Once Sal's curse on Wadanohara's memories fades, he stops acting so distant and starts directly helping her.
63* ForcedIntoEvil: Due to his circumstances, he had no choice but to be the villain to the entire Blue Sea Kingdom to keep Wadanohara is safe.
64* ForcedToWatch: [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil Whatever it is]] that Sal [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil may or may not be doing to Wadanohara]] in [[DownerEnding Normal End 1]], he is made to see all of it.
65* GoodAllAlong: Though built up as the traitor and a major antagonist, he was extorted into obeying the whims of the true traitor in order to save Wadanohara.
66* GuestStarPartyMember: Once Wadanohara's curse is a non-issue, he's able to help her and her party of familiars. However, since there's no fifth member slot in the game, he "joins" by being (temporary) extra commands for Wadanohara.
67* HeroicSacrifice: In the best ending, he follows Sal into the Dead Sea to reclaim the Sacred Sword and use it to close the gate from the other side, despite the fact that it might be impossible to return.
68* LackOfEmpathy: Possibly. He professes not to care about the fate of the Sea of Death and the Sea Kingdom. He only cares about Wadanohara and her happiness. He could be exaggerating.
69* LivingEmotionalCrutch: His attachment to Wadanohara is his entire motive for living.
70* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Aonami means "blue waves" in Japanese. It's a much more pure sounding name compared to his brother's.]]
71* TheMole: Accused of being this. He’s not — he was framed.
72* NeverTheObviousSuspect: Everyone suspects him of being the traitor to the Blue Sea Kingdom — he has an [[ThreateningShark intimidating]], [[DarkIsEvil “bad boy” appearance]], antagonizes Wadanohara and tries to keep her away from the sea, gets in the way of the mission to restore the kingdom’s defenses, and refuses to explain his reasons for doing so. His silhouette is also occasionally seen destroying the shields and doing other bad things. Because of this, everyone (save [[OnlySaneWoman Wadanohara]]) thinks it’s him. So naturally, he turns out to have been framed by Sal, [[CainAndAbel his own brother]].
73* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He openly admits that he doesn't care what happens between the Sea of Death and Sea Kingdom, he only wants to protect Wadanohara.
74* OfficialCouple: With Wadanohara in the True Ending.
75* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Samekichi" is actually a nickname Wadanohara gave him. We never learn his real name. [[spoiler:Subverted in ''-Reboot-'' where a bonus scene reveals that his name is [[MeaningfulName Aonami.]]]]
76* RecurringBoss: You fight against him three times over the course of the story.
77* StarterVillain: He is the main antagonistic character of the first act, but is ForcedIntoEvil.
78* UndyingLoyalty: To Wadanohara.
79* WalkingSpoiler: It is impossible to discuss him without revealing his true motives, which are only revealed in Act 3 where he turns out to be GoodAllAlong.
80* ZeroApprovalGambit: This is why Samekichi doesn't just tell everybody that he isn't the traitor: if he told anybody, Wadanohara would recover her memories, but then Sal's curse would eat into Wadanohara, so Samekichi let everybody think he was the traitor and kept trying to scare Wadanohara off so Wadanohara wouldn't be hurt. It's only when other events weaken the curse and restore Wadanohara's memories that Samekichi is finally able to come clean.

83[[folder:Memoca]]
84[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/memoca.png]]
85[[caption-width-right:250:"The sea's so biiig!"]]
86Another one of Wadanohara's familiars, a seagull girl. She has more of a temper and is prone to playing pranks.
87----
88* BoyishShortHair: Has short, spiky hair. It gets longer in the true ending.
89* BrutalHonesty: Sometimes Memoca can be blunt in comparison to Wadanohara's other familiars.
90* FragileSpeedster: Memoca is the fastest member of Wadanohara's party, but has only slightly more health than Dolphi.
91* GenkiGirl: She’s rather energetic.
92* GlassCannon: She has the second-lowest HP of Wadanohara's party, but she has a lot of powerful multi-hit attacks in her arsenal.
93* HumongousMecha: Constantly draws pictures of herself as a giant robot called Momecha. [[spoiler:Once she's at a high enough level, it actually becomes an attack — with [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]!]]
94* InnocentlyInsensitive: Her phrasing is quite blunt, she enjoys "playfully tesing" others, especially [[ButtMonkey Lobco]], but it borders on bullying and enjoys poking helpless maggots with a stick.
95* SheIsAllGrownUp: She gets quite the GirlinessUpgrade in the True Ending, which includes long hair and high heels.
96* StatusInflictionAttack: One of her last moves, Flock, targets all enemies and inflicts ''all the status effects at once'', several of which are not used anywhere else in the game!
97* {{Tomboy}}: Significantly more boyish than Wadda and Dolphi, to the point where she could easily be mistaken for a young boy by appearance alone.
98[[/folder]]

100[[folder:Dolphi]]
101[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dolphi_1.png]]
102[[caption-width-right:250:"I'm hungry..."]]
103Another one of Wadanohara's familiars, a dolphin girl. She is soft-spoken and afraid of sharks.
104----
105* CowardlyLion: Dolphi gets upset and/or frightened easily, but she's also a strong member of Wadanohara's party and is always ready to defend Wadanohara from threats.
106* CuteBruiser: Dolphi looks cute, but she also does the most damage per attack out of anyone in Wadanohara's party.
107* FriendlyPlayfulDolphin: Not exactly playful, but still pretty nice.
108* GlassCannon: Her abilities can deal a nice bit of damage, but she has the lowest health of Wadanohara's party.
109* LittleBitBeastly: A dolphin tail can be seen under her skirt.
110* LittleMissBadass: She looks like a little girl, but she does a ''lot'' of damage per attack.
111* SheIsAllGrownUp: Same with the Memoca example above.
112* ShrinkingViolet: Prone to frightening easily.
113* TenderTears: Dolphi cries when she's upset or afraid.
114[[/folder]]
115
116[[folder:Fukami]]
117[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fukami.png]]
118[[caption-width-right:250:"You like takoyaki?"]]
119The last of Wadanohara's familiars, an octopus boy. He rarely smiles, but is fiercely protective of Wadanohara.
120----
121* AdaptationalVillainy: He's much more brutal in the manga version, typically ripping apart his enemies into a bloody mess. He's also the one who attacks Samekichi instead of Samekichi attacking him, going so far as to almost kill him in their second fight.
122* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Heavily implied in the second bad ending, as Sal's sprite is briefly visible behind his before he kills Wadanohara.]]
123* CombatTentacles: As an octopus, he puts his tentacles to good use, whether to strangle enemies or skewer them.
124* CreepyGood: He can be quiet and a little too good at giving a DeathGlare, but he's still one of the good guys.
125* DeadpanSnarker: He's not above talking about roast fowl in front of Memoca, for starters.
126* DeathGlare: It's even one of his attacks.
127* GreenEyedMonster: His profile states that he's jealous of Wadanohara's feelings for Samekichi. [[spoiler:Both times Wadanohara lost the ocarina he gave her, Fukami was behind it, although he arranges for it to be returned the second time.]]
128* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler:In the Betrayal ending, he kills Wadanohara when she goes to rescue Samekichi from Sal, who taunts him by saying these were his true feelings.]]
129* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:In the best ending, he, in spite of his jealousy, comforts Wadanohara and encourages her to keep waiting for Samekichi's return.]]
130* TheLancer: He typically tells the other familiars what to do when Wadanohara doesn't, and occasionally goes against her wishes.
131* MightyGlacier: He's decently strong and the most resilient member of Wadanohara's party, but also the slowest.
132* TheOneGuy: Of Wadanohara's familiars, [[spoiler:barring Samekichi]].
133* TheQuietOne: When other party members are verbally standing up to enemies, Fukami will usually just glare and say "..."
134* TheStoic: Doesn't talk much, and he rarely emotes beyond his resting deadpan face.

143[[caption-width-right:250:"N-no, lobster fry..."]]
144Chlomaki's long-suffering familiar. Another denizen of the Sea Kingdom, the daughter of Cherryblod and Doloz.
145----
146* BeleagueredAssistant: Is one to Chlomaki.
147* BloodMagic: As Chlomaki's familiar, she can vastly increase her power by licking a drop of the witch's blood. However, abusing the technique is dangerous to her health.
148* ButtMonkey: Her profile even states that bad things happen to her as soon as she leaves the sea... although she doesn't have a very good time of it ''in'' the sea, either.
149* DaddysGirl: Absolutely adores her father.
150* TheEeyore: Downplayed.
151* HairAntennae: Ones that resemble lobster antennae.
152* ProperTightsWithAskirt: Dressed like this.

164* HappilyMarried: With Doloz.
165* MeaningfulName: Used to be called Cherryblood in his youth, for obvious reasons.
166* MumLooksLikeASister: Looks more like he could be Lobco's older brother rather than her father.
167* RedEyesTakeWarning: While not immediately apparent, since he's a pretty nice guy, it's implied he's very strong and was a more violent "bad boy" in the past.
168* RedBaron: [[spoiler:Cherryblood.]]
169* RetiredMonster: It's not clear just ''how'' bad his "bad boy days" were, but he recalls them with fondness.
170* RoseHairedSweetie: A male example; Cherryblod has pink hair and is a pretty nice guy.
171* WorfHadTheFlu: Gets poisoned, much like Tatsumiya, but is heavily implied to be incredibly strong.

177A flapjack octopus girl and a resident of Wadanohara's town. Loves treasure hunting.

179* ButtMonkey: Gets no respect from her friends because of how she keeps getting everyone lost, and is often collectively told to shut up.
180* NoSenseOfDirection: Despite her love for treasure hunting, she gets lost quite a bit, much to everyone’s chagrin.
181* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Four Guys]]: Always seen with Creamil, Rimorimo, and Tomoshibi.

200A vampire squid girl and a resident of Wadanohara's town. Dislikes loud noises but doesn't seem to mind Minero's and Creamil's bantering.
201----
202* AnimalEaredHeadband: Her hood has squid fins, which look a bit like ears.
203* RedheadInGreen: Inverted. She has green hair and wears red.
204* TheStoic: Very blunt, doesn't talk much and always looks bored or uncaring. Not even the Tosatsu Kingdom invasion phases her much.

211An angler fish girl and a resident of Wadanohara's town. Follows Minero and her friends along, and is almost always sleeping.
212----
213* EyesAlwaysShut: Due to her sleepy nature.
214* MeaningfulName: Tomoshibi (灯火) means "lamplight", referring to the anglerfish light lure she has.
215* {{Sleepyhead}}: Seems to be asleep on her feet a lot of the time. Exaggerated when she dozes off while surrounded by Tosatsu forces and is about to be attacked.
216* TheQuietOne: Only ever snores or yawns, and speaks very little. The most she ever says is to tell Minero to shut up.
217* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Four Guys]]: Always seen with Minero, Creamil, and Rimorimo.

222[[caption-width-right:250:"Oh, when's my sister coming back?"]]
223A mermaid who lives in Wadanohara's town. She often sends Wadanohara on errands because she can't walk on land.
224----
225* FetchQuest: Not in-game, but as we learn in a flashback, not only did Irena send Wadanohara out to get apples, but Irena very frequently asks Wadanohara to get things that Irena, being a mermaid, can't reach on her own. Wadanohara doesn't mind as she's glad to help out.
226* GirlishPigtails: Has twin braids.
227* HeartSymbol: On her obi. Her hair has a heart-shaped highlight.
228* InformedAbility: Her bio states she's good at singing, but she never sings in-game.

234[[caption-width-right:250:"Stop hittin' me, dude!"]]
235A mermaid who lives in Wadanohara's town. Seguro's friend.
236----
237* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair in braids, like Irena. Must be a mermaid thing.
238* IdiotHair: Has one that curves off to the side.
239* {{Polyamory}}: Refers to Helica and Seguro as her "main squeeze", which is slang for someone's main lover. Probably not canon, as it's meant to be a translation of "senpai" for the English version.
240* SurferDude: Has shades of speaking like this.
241* TheKlutz: Has shades of this.
242* UnusualEars: Blue fins.

248A sea snake and Miyura's friend. Enjoys smoking and beer.
249----
250* FaceOfAThug: Always looks angry, but isn't that bad of a guy.
251* MeaningfulName: His name could come from ''Seguro umihebi'' (背黒海蛇), the Japanese name for the yellow-bellied sea snake. Seguro (背黒) is also composed of the words "back" and "black", and he has a black back.
252* VitriolicBestBuds: One-sidedly to Miyura. He's often exasperated by her and sometimes hits her because of her antics, and sometimes sees her as in his way. Nonetheless, he still enjoys her company.
253[[/folder]]

261* MeaningfulName: Ao means blue, and she has a prominently blue colour scheme.

282* AdaptationalBadass: Seen in the manga fighting off Totsusa soldiers with a naginata, in spite of her poisoning.
283* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Bonus material implies she has a crush on Orca. Though it has been stated that since Tatsumiya is very gentle, Idate would treat her in a gentlemanly manner.
284* TheChosenOne: Meikai chose her to wield the Sacred Sword over Old, causing the latter’s betrayal.
285* HairAntennae: Has two long, red antennae extend from the top of her head.
286* HimeCut: Though her hair is shorter than most examples, it still signifies her elegance. It was much longer in the past when she was still Meikai’s familiar, implying she cut her hair following his death.
287* ParentalSubstitute: For Wadanohara, entrusted by her father Meikai. Tatsumiya frets over her foster daughter often, worrying about her health and problems, and will go to hell and back to keep her safe.
288* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Meikai. She continues to refer to herself as his familiar and grieve for him even centuries after his death.
289* WorfHadTheFlu: Tatsumiya is normally one of the most powerful spellcasters in the kingdom, but was afflicted with a mysterious poison before Wadanohara's homecoming that renders her unable to hold off the Tosatsu forces.

307A venus comb murex girl who serves Princess Uomi. Rather thick-headed and easily confused.
308----
309* BerserkButton: Helica gets really angry when people disturb the public morals, and in fact, you have to beat her in a boss battle to calm her down after she went ballistic on some Tosatsu soldiers.
310* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Helica gets falling-over drunk from merely the ''smell'' of alcohol. It's even lampshaded by her name in the text-box, which becomes "Somehow Already Drunk Helica" at the start of the banquet (and later changes to "Tremendously Drunk Helica").
311* GirlishPigtails: Has a rather pointy pair.

320* BigGood: She’s at the top of the Blue Sea Kingdom and is a benevolent figure who supports Wadanohara on her journey to become a great witch.
321* BlueIsHeroic: Her overall color scheme is of a bright blue shade, as opposed to her evil sister Mikotsu whose design is adorned by blood red color.
322* CoolCrown: Wears a gold crown embedded with small amber stones.
323* CooldownHug: [[spoiler:Gives one to Princess Tosatsu to calm her down, causing Princess Tosatsu to realize she was going too far.]]
324* DeepSleep: She spends most of the game in one [[spoiler:to subdue her sister, Princess Mikotsu]]. Jiiya, the fish in her hair, serves as her translator.
325* HeadPet: Jiiya is always on her head, and looks like a hair ornament from a distance.
326* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Uomi blames herself for the war with Tosatsu because Uomi didn't "talk it out" with Tosatsu, but Tosatsu reassures her that no, it was Tosatsu's own fault for going too far.]]
327* MeaningfulName: Uo means 'fish'.
328* NiceGirl: She's a very kindhearted ruler. [[spoiler:She doesn't even seem mad at Princess Tosatsu for all that happened.]]
329* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Her fight with Princess Mikotsu. Afterwards, Mikotsu is grievously wounded and bleeding profusely, and Uomi is completely unharmed.]]
330* PrincessesRule: While she’s officially the ruler of the Blue Sea Kingdom, everyone still refers to her as "Princess".
331* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Even though she doesn’t seem like doing anything aside from sleeping, she’s actually trying to [[spoiler:keep her evil sister Mikotsu in a century-long slumber]]. When that fails and [[spoiler:Mikotsu]] breaks free, Uomi goes on to fight her one-on-one, and ''[[CurbStompBattle wins without a single scratch]]''. [[RankScalesWithAsskicking No wonder the Sea King chose her.]]
332* ThousandYardStare: Her permanent expression. Jiiya has one too.
333* VisibleSilence: Her default mode of "speaking" (or not speaking), which Jiiya interprets and speaks for her.

342A senior witch dressed all in black who introduced Wadanohara to the Witch World.
343----
344* BadBoss: She regularly hits Lobco and has no issues forcing her to use a DangerousForbiddenTechnique.
345* BigDamnHeroes: When it looks like Wadanohara and co. are outnumbered by Tosatsu soldiers, she appears to hold them off with Lobco.
346* CatGirl: Her hat has cat ear like points on the brim, she hates water, and she has a tail.
347* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Black hair and eyes.
348* CuteLittleFangs: Has a pair, similar to a cat.
349* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler:When the Tosatsu Kingdom attacks, there is war and death all around her, but does Chlomaki care? ...nah. She just keeps bullying Lobco.]]
350* MysteriousPast: Chlomaki's backstory is alluded to several times during the game, but the player never learns any details besides her being very old, having many familiars, and that she used to know Cherryblod during his bad boy days. [[spoiler:However, bonus material on Deep-Sea Prisoner's website reveals that she used to work under the God of her world and was originally an angel called Nadine. What caused her to run away and became a witch is so far unknown.]]
351* TooManyBelts: She’s got '''''ten''''' of them.
352* TheWatson: Chlomaki isn't familiar with the goings-on of the blue sea, so sometimes other characters will fill Chlomaki in (and thus also fill in the audience). A notable example comes during the banquet, where Tatsumiya has to explain to Chlomaki (and thus to the audience) why Wadanohara's father, the Great Sorcerer, is held in such high esteem.

368[[caption-width-right:250:"...I pray for your happiness."]]
369Wadanohara's presumably deceased father, the Great Sorcerer.
370----
371* TheArchmage: Having something like [[TheMagnificent "the Great"]] in his title definitely is a proof that he was a very powerful wizard. Indeed, he singlehandedly sealed Mikotsuhime and the other inhabitants of the Sea of Death away.
372* BadassCape: Wears large navy cape with a star pattern inside, and was TheArchmage of the Blue Sea Kingdom.
373* DisappearedDad: He isn’t present in Wadanohara’s entire life and leaves her in the care of the Blue Sea Kingdom’s residents, as he’s already "dead" before she was even born.
374* FaceDeathWithDignity: Prior to performing the spell to seal Mikotsuhime and her supporters to the Sea of Death, he expressed a collected demeanor to his possible death by sacrifice and calmly arranged the care for the kingdom and his daughter while Tatsumiya was [[FreakOut freaking out]] in his place.
375* HeroicSacrifice: Gave up his life to seal away the Dead Sea and became the Cast Pearl above the Sea King's palace.
376* [[HotWitch Hot Wizard]]: He’s indeed very good looking. No wonder he got ''four'' people, all of their own high status, smitten with him.
377* MagicStaff: Wielded a majestic moon-and-stars staff that he gives Wadanohara later in order to save the Sea Kingdom, bestowing her his power at the same time.
378* MeaningfulName: "Meikai" translates to "dark ocean", befitting his status as the Great Sorcerer of the Sea.
379* PosthumousCharacter: As he committed a HeroicSacrifice before Wadanohara’s birth, Meikai's only appearances are in the form of references and memories of others. He does get to appear on his own once in his daughter’s mind, though.
380* RobeAndWizardHat: His pointed wizard hat is decorated with a darker navy strip, a light blue crescent moon, and two stars.
381* SymbolMotifClothing: Has a bunch of crescent moons adorning his clothes, and the inside of his hat and cape are coloured to look like the sea. He has heavy association with the ocean and [[spoiler:Wadanohara's mom is implied to be the moon]].
382* TrulySingleParent: To Wadanohara, who apparently hatched from an ''egg'' shortly after his HeroicSacrifice. [[spoiler:Some bonus material implies her mother was the moon, but the specifics are left unclear.]]
383* UncertainDoom: There is no absolute certainty that Meikai is dead. Tatsumiya expresses that it is only theorized by the Kingdom that the spell that he had cast to seal the Red Sea away was too powerful for his body to bare; this, however, is not a certainty and is only a theory that Meikai is deceased. Where Meikai's current whereabouts are remain a mystery.

389An [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin orca]] "on a stroll". A fan of violence and starting fights.
390----
391* AllThereInTheManual: His given name is "Idate", as shown in Deep-Sea Prisoner's [[ComicStrip/IceScreamDeepSeaPrisoner other works]].
392* BadassInANiceSuit: He wears a sharp-looking black business suit, and beats sharks up and down for the fun of it. Even Old, a former familiar of [[TheArchmage Meikai]] who can fight on par with Tatsumiya, gets curb-stomped by him just as quick as his immature son Samekichi.
393* BloodKnight: His hobby according to the bonus room bios? Violence. The initial reason he steps in between [[spoiler:Old and Tatsumiya]] is that he thinks the former is ending the fight ''too quickly''.
394* {{Transplant}}: He's from a [[ComicStrip/IceScreamDeepSeaPrisoner separate series of comics]] about Arctic creatures done by Deep-Sea Prisoner. Apparently, the reason he's strolling around Wadanohara's neighborhood is that he got bored up north.
395* DeviousDolphins: A violent, shark-bullying orca.
396* EvenEvilHasStandards: A bit of an odd example; [[WouldHurtAChild he'll kill and eat Wadanohara]] if he gets the chance, but after taking down [[spoiler:Old of the Red Sea]], he advises Tatsumiya to avoid those sorts of guys (apparently [[AbuseMistake having mistaken their fight for domestic abuse]]).
397* FantasticRacism: [[TruthInTelevision Being an orca, he especially delights in tormenting sharks]] — and he doesn't really care which side they're on. He constantly calls them short-tempered and stupid.
398* ImAHumanitarian: Expresses interest in eating Wadanohara to see what witch flesh tastes like. [[NonStandardGameOver If you lose or attempt to escape his boss battle, he gets to find out.]]
399* KnightOfCerebus: Your first encounter with him marks the first point where the game [[CerebusSyndrome starts to reveal its dark side]].
400* SmokingIsCool: Especially underwater.
401* StarterVillain: [[spoiler:He’s the closest thing that the first act has to a main villain, as Samekichi [[DarkIsNotEvil isn’t much of a villain]].]]
402* WildCard: He's initially a minor antagonist, [[spoiler:but in the climax, his penchant for violence works in the Sea Kingdom's favor as he beats up antagonist Old]].

410The princess of the Totsusa Kingdom, which is invading despite a formerly friendly relationship with the Sea Kingdom. She serves as the main antagonist of the game who wants to kill Uomi.

413* AffectionateNickname: Uomi calls her "Satsu".
414* AxCrazy: She takes great joy in her massacres, and relishes the thought of killing Uomi. [[spoiler:Actually downplayed, as she is capable of controlling it, as shown post-HeelFaceTurn.]]
415* BigBad: She’s the leader of Tosatsu Kingdom, the enemy faction, and thus leads the invasion of the Blue Sea kingdom seeking to kill Princess Uomi; [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss however]], it turns out that this was [[PoorCommunicationKills over a misunderstanding]] perpetrated by [[ManBehindTheMan the traitor]]]].

417* CainAndAbel: As the princess of the legend, she seeks to kill her sister Uomi to take the throne. [[spoiler:Subverted, since she’s not actually the princess from the legend, so Uomi isn’t her sister. Rather, they’re cousins.]]
418* CuteIsEvil[=/=]CuteAndPsycho: The BigBad is a cute little bunny princess. [[spoiler:Subverted as she is a DiscOneFinalBoss who does a HeelFaceTurn.]]
419* CuteLittleFangs: Has a small pair.
420* DaddysLittleVillain: Her father is completely on-board with her relentless slaughtering. Unlike most examples, however, he serves as TheDragon to her rather than the other way around.

427* KnightOfCerebus: Her appearance marks the beginning of the second act, which involves a full-on invasion of the Blue Sea Kingdom and multiple soldier deaths on both sides.
428* LetsYouAndHimFight: [[spoiler:Sal forges a letter from Princess Uomi claiming to have ended their friendship and executed several of Tosatsu's citizens, which promptly pissed Tosatsu off.]]
429* MeaningfulName: 'Tosatsu' is Japanese for slaughter. Fitting for a vicious, murderous princess.
430* MoralMyopia: She and her forces murder who-knows-how-many creatures of the Sea Kingdom during their invasion. But when Wadanohara fights her, ''she begins crying and calls Wadanohara a bully''.
431* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When Princess Uomi tells Princess Tosatsu that the former ''doesn't'' hate the latter, Princess Tosatsu realizes aloud how foolish she was acting and that she went too far, especially since despite what Princess Tosatsu thought, Princess Uomi ''didn't'' send a hateful letter or kill Tosatsu's soldiers.]]
432* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Potentially the entire conflict could have been avoided if she’d just bothered to verify the truth of the letter intended to turn her against Uomi. Somewhat justified as she ''is'' a RoyalBrat.]]

524----
525* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:His death was painful, slow, and 100% deserved for all that he had done.]]
526* AxCrazy: He displays a disturbing love of violence, rape, and terrorism.
527* BerserkButton: Wadanohara's love for Samekichi is the quickest way to put him into merciless murder mode.
528* BeneathSuspicion: Nobody suspected him for a second.
529* BigBad: Of the first two acts, as he manipulates Tosatsu Kingdom and the Blue Sea Kingdom into fighting each other.
530* BitchInSheepsClothing: See Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.
531* BloodIsTheNewBlack: After his boss fight, his face and clothing are covered in his own blood. [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction He doesn't seem to mind.]]
532* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Samekichi's Abel, Sal gets killed in the true ending.
533* TheChainOfHarm: [[spoiler:His use of MindRape and DeathOfPersonality on Wadanohara in Normal End 1, and exploiting Fukami's jealousy to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy easily mind-control him]] in Bad End 2 is shockingly similar to what Mikotsu did to him. Fukami, at least, continues the cycle.]]
534* CombatSadomasochist: His fight against Wadanohara has him gleefully egg her on, even as he starts to bleed profusely from his wounds. His response when it's over is a simple "Not bad".
535* CoolSword: The Sacred Sword, corrupted and turned blood-red after stealing it.
536* CriminalDoppelganger: To Samekichi.
537* CrazyJealousGuy: He's less than thrilled when Wadanohara frantically calls for Samekichi to save her. In fact, he considers [[MurderTheHypotenuse killing]] [[CainAndAbel his brother]] despite Wada's pleas not to.
538* CuteIsEvil[=/=]CuteAndPsycho: He masquerades as a FriendlyPlayfulDolphin to manipulate others. Averted with his more sinister-looking humanoid form.
539* DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler:There's nearly no trace of the original Sal left. In the manga, Samekichi attempts to reason with him when the two are alone, using his real name in the process. Sal replies that [[ThatManIsDead he left that name and person behind a long time ago]], and promptly attacks Samekichi.]]
540** In Normal Ending 1, [[spoiler:he inflicts the exact same fate on Wadanohara]].
541* DeviousDolphins: In his dolphin form. In fact, his psychotic rapist tendencies are [[RealityIsUnrealistic more in line with]] [[TruthInTelevision real dolphin behavior]].
542* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:He is shown to be very weak and cowardly in the True End, where he stabs Wadanohara and runs away; the last we see of him is when he gets slain by Samekichi.]]
543* DissonantSerenity: His perpetual cheerfulness doesn't seem to be an act, and it becomes deeply unsettling after TheReveal.
544* TheDragon: To Princess Mikotsu.
545* DragonInChief: He is more of a direct threat to the heroes, and kick-started the game's plot in the first place. He is a more personal villain to Wadanohara and Samekichi, while his employer wants revenge on the princesses. This is mostly justified as he is the only Dead Sea inhabitant who wasn't sealed away.
546* DubNameChange: From Syake-san in the Japanese version.
547* DuelBoss: Wadanohara fights him on her own.
548* EvilCounterpart: To his brother Samekichi. Both serve a cute girl who is the leader of their group, and both are motivated by love, but whereas Samekichi displays a pure love for Wadanohara because he treats her like a person, Sal disregards Wada’s feelings in favor of [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping her]], and the girl he serves is an evil princess whom Wada opposes.
549* EvilLaugh: Overlapping with GigglingVillain.
550* EvilTwin: To Samekichi, since they look almost identical in their humanoid forms and are actual siblings. Sal used this trait to wreak havoc and pin the blame on his brother.
551* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Before Sal was brainwashed by the Sea of Death, he deeply cared about his mother. And even during the game, he still '''cares''' and '''misses''' her. However, this was strictly in the reboot of the game; no mention of his mother is present in the original game.
552* {{Foreshadowing}}: Out of all the Blue Sea denizens, he is by far the most cutesy, sweet, and happy, to the point of it being almost nauseating. This hints at it being a facade he is trying way too hard to keep up. It also hints at his {{Yandere}} nature, since he mainly displays this whenever Wadanohara is around, gives her a ring of all things, and tells her things like [[ExactWords "I'd do anything for you!"]] and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil "Whoa, I like those clothes!"]].
553* FauxAffablyEvil: While he appears to be an innocent person, it's all an act to hide his nasty, scheming nature.
554* ForTheEvulz: Wadanohara initially thinks that he's being manipulated by the Dead Sea, but Sal is quick to set her straight that, no, he just ''really'' enjoys the horrible things he does. (He ''is'' being manipulated, but [[MoreThanMindControl he doesn't care]].)
555* FriendlyPlayfulDolphin: He initially comes across as this, as an always happy and helpful ally to Wada. '''[[SubvertedTrope Nope!]]''' He's [[WolfInSheepsClothing actually]] a {{Devious Dolphin|s}}, despite his efforts to seem friendly and playful.
556* FromNobodyToNightmare: He wasn't able to accept the loss of his mother, which would affect his mind; this resulted in him wanting to take out his anger on the people around him, even his own brother, his aunt… ''nobody'' was safe.
557* GigglingVillain: Much of his dialogue is punctuated with giggling, even after his true nature becomes apparent.
558* HateSink: He's made to be an incredibly despicable, deceitful character with no redeeming qualities and nothing sympathetic about him, that eventually gets his deserved comeuppance. Even [[VideoGame/MogekoCastle King mogeko, Shinya Kurai]], and [[VideoGame/TheGrayGarden Ivlis]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards think he takes it way too far]]!
559* TheHeavy: As the only denizen of the Dead Sea who wasn't sealed away, he drives the majority of their schemes — sealing Wadanohara's memories, stealing the Sacred Sword, breaking the Sea Kingdom's barrier (twice), manipulating Princess Tosatsu into invading, poisoning both Tatsumiya and Cherryblod, and even terrorizing the blue sea.
560* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler: In the best ending, when Wadanohara refuses his offers, he stabs her and leaves her for dead [[DirtyCoward as he returns to the Dead Sea just to later die]].]]
561* KnightOfCerebus: The biggest by far, as he heralds the beginning of the [[DisguisedHorrorStory outright horrifying]] third act.
562* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:After escaping justice in True ending, Samekichi tracks him down and gives him his most well deserved fate in the bonus scene ''At the end of the hate''.]]
563* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He has memory-based powers, and uses them to great effect on Wadanohara.
564* LaserGuidedKarma:
565** [[spoiler:In Normal End 2, he is [[AndIMustScream sealed away]] with Princess Mikotsu leading the two to die.]]
566** [[spoiler:In the True End, Samekichi follows him into the Sea of Death and later returns with the Sacred Sword; it's shown that Samekichi finally killed him for good.]]
567* LargeHam: He can be quite bombastic. Best exemplified during TheReveal.
568* LightIsNotGood: His entire color scheme is mostly white, and he is most certainly not good.
569* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Wadanohara physically resembles his deceased mother, which puts his crush on her in a new light.
570* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Despite being grievously wounded after his boss fight, he doesn't seem to care.
571* MeaningfulName: Syake means 'salmon' and Sal also comes from salmon. [[spoiler:His real name, Shironami, means "white waves" in Japanese, which refers to the color's association with death.]]
572* TheMole: Presented himself as a harmless, bumbling NiceGuy, but in actuality, he's been plotting against his supposed friends for quite some time.
573* {{Narcissist}}: Believes he is [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to Wadanohara’s love]], and [[{{Yandere}} reacts violently]] if [[IfICantHaveYou she refuses]].
574* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: However, it's more of a Meaningful Nickname. We don't know what his name actually is. [[spoiler:Subverted in ''-Reboot-'' where a bonus scene reveals that his name is [[MeaningfulName Shiranami]].]]
575* PostFinalBoss: He is the last enemy fought, but doesn’t even attack.
576* PosthumousCharacter: The game was set in a flashback, since Sal was dead for an unknown amount of time.
577* PsychoticSmirk: In his humanoid form, this is his default expression — even after he has the tar kicked out of him by Wadanohara.
578* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Attempts to sexually assault Wadanohara during the flashback where he lures her into a cave and reveals his true nature for the first time, but is stopped by Samekichi. [[spoiler:In the first normal ending, he appears to succeed, and Samekichi is ForcedToWatch.]]
579* RedEyesTakeWarning: Hoo boy.
580* SiblingYinYang: With Samekichi — although it's only mentioned in the bonus materials.
581* SissyVillain: He is rather effeminate in his mannerisms and cheeriness, and displays them when committing horrible atrocities.
582* TearsOfBlood: Blood constantly leaks from his eyes in his more abominable shark form, seen after he's revealed as the traitor.
583* TooKinkyToTorture: Seems to be [[CombatSadomasochist enjoying himself]] quite a bit during his fight with Wadanohara.
584* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:The “battle” with him is a ZeroEffortBoss, and he is never properly fought. Instead, Samekichi takes care of him offscreen.]]
585%%* TragicVillain: His backstory was somewhat heartbreaking, even though he becomes a despicable villain. %%Tragic how?
586* UsedToBeASweetKid: Bonus artworks and one bonus scene unlocked after beating the game reveals that he didn't have red eyes as kid and thus wasn't always under the Red Sea's influence. It is indicated that Mikotsu corrupted him on some level. [[spoiler:It's likely he was chosen by Mikotsu due to the grief of the loss of his mother and self-loathing making him considerably easier for her powers to corrupt, much like how Sal himself is implied to have exploited Fukami's feelings of jealousy in the second bad end.]]
587* VillainInAWhiteSuit: In his human form, of course. And in official art of an [[AlternateUniverse alternate universe]] where he's not evil, he wears a gray blazer and a turtleneck instead.
588* WalkingSpoiler: His motives and his real personality [[KnightOfCerebus change everything]] about the game.
589* WhiteHairBlackHeart: In his humanoid form, he has white hair, and is every bit the {{Devious Dolphin|s}}[=/=]ThreateningShark he is otherwise.
590* WolfInSheepsClothing: He masqueraded himself as a friendly, cheerful shark/[[FriendlyPlayfulDolphin dolphin]] who was willing to help however he could. The reality is that he's been planning to bring back Princess Mikotsu and make the sea revert back to its original chaotic state and plan his terrorist attack.
591* {{Yandere}}: For Wadanohara, ''big time''.
592* ZeroEffortBoss: [[spoiler:He is actually unable to attack during his boss fight, and he automatically dies on turn 10, regardless of damage.]]

595[[folder:Mikotsuhime]]
596!!Princess Mikotsuhime
597[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikotsu_3.png]]
598[[caption-width-right:250:".....father."]]
599Princess Uomi's sister, who began the Great War when the Sea King/God named Uomi his successor. She and her forces were sealed away by Meikai, but released by Sal.
600----
601* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:She's a self-centered princess who uses her powers to corrupt her people and started a war that killed millions over a temper tantrum. It's hard to feel sorry when Samekichi kills her in ''-Reboot-''.]]
602* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: The few times she doesn't speak through her fish translator, her dialog is rendered this way. Uomi speculates she's forgotten how to talk. [[spoiler: The only time she speaks normally is when she asks Samekichi to put an end to her suffering.]]
603* AndIMustScream: Her fate while sealed with the Sea of Death.
604* BigBad: Of the final act, after being unsealed. She unleashes the Sea of Death upon the world and tries to kill Uomi to claim the throne.
605* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Uomi's Abel, as she wants to kill Uomi to gain the throne.
606* TheCorruptor: One of her core powers, notably attempted on Wadanohara [[IncorruptiblePurePureness to no avail]].
607** [[spoiler:She completely corrupts [[UsedToBeASweetKid Sal]] long before the story takes place, exploiting his insecurities to get into his head with her powers. It's possible she also did this to the other Sea of Death denizens during the original war, since [[TheUnfettered based on her behavior in general]], she likely wouldn't have had any reservations in doing so.]]
608* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of one from Princess Uomi near the end of the game. She's last seen staggering back through the gate to the Sea of Death covered in wounds, while Uomi doesn't have a scratch on her.]]
609* CuteIsEvil[=/=]CuteAndPsycho: In a CreepyCute way.
610* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: In ''-Reboot-'', when defeated and wounded after her battle with Uomi, she says she had enough of everything and tells Samekichi to put an end to her suffering. He complies.]]
611* DeepSleep: Because of a connection shared by the sisters, she was put into one when Princess Uomi entered hers.
612* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: In the 2020 Remake she regains her normal speech and expresses regret over her actions before Samekichi kills her.]]
613* EvilCostumeSwitch: One of the bonus room paintings shows she used to wear blue like her sister.
614* EvilCounterpart: To both Princess Uomi, her sister, and to Wadanohara. She is a princess and rules a kingdom like Uomi, but she is a cruel ruler who desires only narcissistic adoration. She is also the leader of her group and partnered with a shark like Wadanohara, but is the [[BigBad main villain]] to her [[TheHeroine main hero]], and is extremely self-centered and willing to sacrifice the lives of others to get what she wants, whereas Wada is willing to pull a HeroicSacrifice for the sake of her friends and loved ones.
615* ItsAllAboutMe: To the extent that when her sister got the throne instead of her, she went ''ballistic''.
616* GreaterScopeVillain: Until the last act of the game, she’s a SealedEvilInACan, and it’s Sal’s attempts to release her that drive the plot.
617* HopelessBossFight: Played with. The first time she's seen in person, she starts a fight, only to stand there and let Wadanohara and company uselessly wail on her for a minute. She never actually bothers to fight back, however.
618* LotusEaterMachine: Using her MindRape powers, she traps Wadanohara in one, although Wadanohara breaks out much faster than expected.
619* MindRape: Her Dead Sea powers appear to operate this way, as she traps Wadanohara in a gory nightmare world by looking her in the eyes. Sal claims the person her friends know her as will be gone when she wakes up from it.
620* MurderTheHypotenuse: A platonic/familial version is her true motive for wanting to kill Uomi — when their father gave Uomi the throne, Mikotsu saw this as her sister getting all the love, and wanted papa all to herself.
621* {{Narcissist}}: She started the war with her sister and tried to kill her because their father gave Uomi the throne, which Mikotsu [[RoyalBrat took personally]]. Notably, she never once considered that her father may have chosen Uomi over her for any reason other than that he secretly hated her all along.
622* PsychoticSmirk: Her default expression.
623* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Wears a red-and-black kimono adorned with bones.
624* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has crimson eyes and is extremely unstable.
625* SanitySlippage: She's ''[[FromBadToWorse even worse]]'' than she originally was, after years of being [[AndIMustScream painfully sealed away]] by her own father.
626* TheSociopath: Callously manipulates and [[MindRape Mind Rapes]] her way towards her goal, not showing a single shred of care for anyone who isn't her father. How sociopathic she was prior to being sealed away is debatable, but she was certainly equally as unstable and violent.
627* UsedToBeASweetKid: Bonus artworks unlocked after beating the game reveals that she was a happy princess with her sister Uomi before everything went downhill. [[spoiler:However, unlike Sal, whose original personality was more or less erased and overwritten by Mikotsu, her turn to evil was primarily a result of her own [[ItsAllAboutMe glaring]] [[AxCrazy character]] [[TheUnfettered flaws]].]]
628* SealedEvilInACan: Long before the story started, she was sealed away along with her followers. This remains the case until the third act of the game.
629* RoyalBrat: Even worse than [[DiscOneFinalBoss Tosatsu]], who at least had the excuse of [[LetsYouAndHimFight being manipulated]], she starts a war and kills millions simply because she felt that daddy did not spoil her enough.
630* TheUnfavorite: We never learn exactly why the Sea God chose Uomi to take the throne (it may just be because she was older), but Mikotsu sure feels like this as a result.
631* TheUnfettered: She is absolutely, single-mindedly devoted to seizing the crown, and is not above crossing any moral lines to do so. After God-knows-how-long of being sealed away, her obsession has only gotten worse.
632* TheUnfought: The only “battle” with her is a HopelessBossFight, and she is never really fought. [[spoiler:Instead, Princess Uomi takes care of her offscreen.]]
633* VillainousPrincess: She is even worse than Princess Tostasu, as she tricked Tostasu into waging war on Uomi so that she can kill Uomi and retake the throne as she tried to in the past, which resulted in her getting sealed away in the Red Sea, the EldritchLocation she now controls.
634* WalkingSpoiler: Her existence reveals the fact that [[DiscOneFinalBoss Tostasu]] is ''not'' the princess from the legend.
635* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:After being sealed away for so long, her muscles are severely atrophied and she barely remembers how to fight. Against an opponent who would otherwise be an even match, like Uomi, she stands no chance whatsoever.]]
636* {{Yandere}}: Platonically towards her father. He gives Uomi the throne instead of her? [[DisproportionateRetribution Clearly he loves Uomi more than her]], so [[MurderTheHypotenuse Uomi must die]].
637* ZeroEffortBoss: She doesn't attack during her boss battle and ends the fight after a few turns.

640[[folder:Old]]
641[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/old_3.png]]
642[[caption-width-right:250:"...Stupid."]]
643An old shark and former familiar of Wadanohara's father, Meikai. He is Samekichi and Sal's father.
644----
645* EvilCounterpart: To Meikai. Both are the father to one of the two main heroes, but whereas Meikai is a good father who wants to protect the Blue Sea Kingdom with his life, Old is a Sea of Death denizen who is so absent from the lives of his children that he doesn't even know they're his children.
646* EvilFormerFriend: To Meikai, whom he betrayed when he joined the Sea of Death.
647* EvilWearsBlack: Has black hair, is dressed up in dark colours, and is a denizen of the Sea of Death.
648* GoodScarsEvilScars: Is scarred around his eye and on his tail. The facial scars were caused by Tatsumiya.
649* ItsPersonal: Determined to get his revenge on Tatsumiya after she scarred his face using the Sacred Sword.
650* LukeIAmYourFather: He's actually the father of Sal and Samekichi, though apparently nobody is aware of this, not even ''Old himself''.
651* ThreateningShark: Fits this a lot more that Samekichi, being a denizen of the Sea of Death.
652* TreacherousAdvisor: Was Meikai's familiar, but betrayed him sometime before being sealed away with the rest of the Sea of Death.
653[[/folder]]
654
655[[folder:Tsuribari]]
656[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsuribari_0.png]]
657[[caption-width-right:250:"Sigh..."]]
658A bored young boy who died at sea. He has a fishhook embedded in his skull.
659----
660* DualBoss: He is fought alongside Stella.
661* EvilCounterpart: To Memoca. Both are relatively boyish and serve as a partner to the respective shy girl, but he works for the villains in contrast to the heroic Memoka. Also a {{Foil}} since he is much more TheStoic than [[GenkiGirl her]].
662* FinalBoss: The battle with him and Stella is the closest thing to an actual final boss, since the “battle” with Sal [[ZeroEffortBoss is impossible to lose]]. Even their ''battle theme'' sounds more befitting of a final boss than Sal’s.
663* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: A unique example. He was impaled with a fishhook through the head.
664* MeaningfulName: His name means Fish Hook.
665[[/folder]]
666
667[[folder:Stella]]
668[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stella_315.png]]
669[[caption-width-right:250:"Gloom..."]]
670A quiet, chronically miserable starfish girl.
671----
672* DualBoss: She is fought alongside Tsuribari.
673* EvilCounterpart: To Dolphi. Both are the shy, quiet girl of the group, but Stella works for the villains, unlike the heroic Dolphi.
674* FinalBoss: The battle with her and Tsuribari is the closest thing to an actual final boss, since the “battle” with Sal [[ZeroEffortBoss is impossible to lose]]. Even their ''battle theme'' sounds more befitting of a final boss than Sal’s.
675* TheEeyore: Described as "chronically miserable."
676* MeaningfulName: Stella means “star” in Latin, and she’s a ''star'' fish
677* ProneToTears: Due to her constant miserableness.
678* TheQuietOne: Speaks very little.
679* TroubledChild: She’s a young girl, but is said to be “chronically miserable” and works for the Sea of Death.

682[[folder:Sheep]]
683[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sheep.png]]
684[[caption-width-right:250:"Mheehee... ♪ "]]
685A nautilus working for the Sea of Death.
686----
687* AbhorrentAdmirer: Towards Old.
688* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Likes Old to the point of obsession, but he clearly does not reciprocate.
689* AmbiguousGender: According to WordOfGod, Sheep's gender is explicitly unknown/ambiguous.
690* EvilCounterpart: To Fukami. Both are tentacled beings in unreciprocated love towards their superiors, but whereas Fukami holds back [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy for Wada’s sake]], Sheep does not, instead holding a grudge against Meikai for “stealing” Old away from them.
691* GigglingVillain: "Mheehee..."
692* GreenEyedMonster: Their dialogue implies that their grudge against Meikai is because he took Old as his familiar.
693* ItsPersonal: They don't care much about Mikotsu's own motivations; they just have a grudge against Meikai.
694* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes and is unhealthily obsessed with Old, despite his protests.

699[[caption-width-right:250:"I'm hungryyy..."]]
700A giant scarred squid who serves the Sea of Death.
701----
702* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: It's so big that its height is stated as "huge cm" in its bio.
703* BigEater: Always hungry.
704* CombatTentacles: It's so big that the only thing you get to fight are its tentacles.
705* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has two long, gnarly scars along his head.
