12
13	An 18-year-old female squirrel with [[OnlyOneName no last name]]. As the story begins, she's the newest Outcast. She wears an unusual flower in her hair. [[spoiler:This flower has the magical ability to [[GreenThumb grow almost any plant instantly]], in any shape she wants. Hanami was exiled because magic is forbidden by her species' religious views.]]

22	* MeaningfulName: Named after the Japanese flower-viewing festival.

29
30	->''"[[{{Kiai}} TENRAI...!]]"''
31
32	A male squirrel, 22 years old, Zero is a {{Ronin}} who ran away to Tasakeru after a traumatic incident nine years ago, earning the moniker "The Samurai Afraid of Death". He always wears black and carries a battered old family sword. Zero is the only Outcast with family back in the city, a younger sister with some health issues.
33	[[hardline]]
34	Tropes associated with Zero include:
35	* BigBrotherInstinct: He's been arrested multiple times because he absolutely refuses to stop supporting his little sister, exile or not.
36	%%* ChronicHeroSyndrome
37	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: The incident that caused him to run away.
38	%%* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments, especially in front of the Magistrate.
39	%%* TheHero: Overlaps with BigBrotherInstinct.
40	* KatanasAreJustBetter: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Zero does carry a katana, but it's an old and weatherbeaten AncestralWeapon. When he's arrested by Nadeshiko, he notes that it will be useless against her armor and [[{{BFS}} broadsword]].
41	%%* {{Kiai}}: ''"Tenrai"'', roughly meaning "divine judgment".
42	* MeaningfulName: "Reimaru" means [[MyHeroZero "zero zero"]]. [[spoiler:He was nicknamed "Zero" by his squadmates in the Daigundan, and goes by it in their honor.]]
43	* SurvivorsGuilt: [[spoiler:His squad of trainee samurai was ambushed by a fanatical Death God cult during an incident called "the Seven Days of Blood". Seven squadmates and ten civilians were butchered, and the rest of the survivors were left with horrible injuries, but Zero alone came out without a scratch. The guilt was too much for him to bear, which led to an attempt to desert the Daigundan, being tried for cowardice, and being declared an Outcast.]]
44	%%* {{Ronin}}: His current status.
45
46	!!Faun Muranaka
47
48	->''"It’s always nice when somebody recognizes what a beautiful, talented, humble genius I am."''
49
50	A nineteen year-old vixen in both senses of the word. She's clever, she's beautiful, and she knows it. Faun is an expert thief, [[StickyFingers she doesn't steal so much for survival as for pleasure]] [[spoiler: [[DarkAndTroubledPast ... anymore, at least]]]]. One of her hobbies is making her own [[TrickBomb trick grenades.]] ----
51	Tropes associated with Faun include:
52	* ActionGirl: She's perfectly willing to stuff a grenade in your face if you get on her bad side.
53	%%* BadassBandolier: The "boom belt".
54	%%* EmbarrassingFirstName: Don't call her "Faunelle".
55	%%* FieryRedhead
56	* FoxyVixen: As the main group's resident vixen, it's only natural that Faun is also one in the figurative, sexual sense of the word; a beautiful, curvaceous fox woman who shamelessly bares her figure all the time, and being much more sexualized (and bigger-breasted in fanart, including BHS's own drawings) than Hanami -- a squirrel -- in comparison.
57	%%* TheGadfly: She has a tendency to {{troll}} Hanami.
58	* GargleBlaster: Faun's favorite drink, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dead God Firewater]], is blood-red and causes fainting in lightweights from the fumes alone.
59	%%* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
60	%%* TheLancer
61	%%* KleptomaniacHero
62	* MsFanservice: Faun is the most sexualized member of the entire gang, and to say her outfit leaves her a tad bit underdressed would be an understament; she walks around topless 24/7 ''[[ShamelessFanserviceGirl by default]]'', wearing nothing but a bandolier over her shoulder and a long loincloth that shows off her legs.
63	* NonDamagingStatusInflictionAttack: She uses a lot of {{Trick Bomb}}s, such as using a glue bomb to defuse a BarBrawl by sticking the three lunkheads causing trouble together.
64	%%* NotAMorningPerson: Which she expresses by cursing the morning's existence.
65	* TheNicknamer: She uses nicknames for ''everyone'', including herself. Rowan thinks it's because [[FreudianExcuse she hates her full name and is trying to cope.]]
66	%%* ShamelessFanserviceGirl
67	* SirSwearsALot: Almost all of the profanity seen in the series thus far comes from Faun.
68	%%* StuffBlowingUp: She makes grenades.
69	%%* {{Stripperiffic}}: Again, the boom belt is ''the only thing she wears over her chest.''
70	%%* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Her primary method of attack.
71	%%* TrickBomb: She has an entire arsenal of them.
72	%%* UseYourHead: She headbutts to an amorous male in Book 1.
73
74	!!Rowan Longstripe
75
76	->[to Faun] ''"The pursuit of knowledge is'' never ''a joke... except, perhaps, in your case."''
77
78	A badger, twenty-eight years old. The oldest of the group, having been in exile for twelve years. Rowan is a GentleGiant, an avid reader whose den houses a small library on all kinds of subjects. [[MartialPacifist He doesn't much like to fight]], but when it's necessary he has a ''[[EpicFlail very large]]'' [[EpicFlail morning star]] to do the job.
79	[[hardline]]
80	Tropes associated with Rowan include:
81	* BadassBookworm: Straddles the line between this and GentleGiant. His den houses an overstuffed library on subjects from everything from fairy tales to architecture... and also a massive forge where he makes his own weapons.
82	%%* TheBigGuy: ''Huge'' compared to the other Outcasts, he's well over six feet tall.
83	%%* DeadpanSnarker
84	%%* EpicFlail
85	%%* GentleGiant
86	* MartialPacifist: Noticeably unwilling to start a fight unless he absolutely has to, as his behavior in his favorite library proves.
87	%%* ProudScholarRaceGuy: Type 1.
88	%%* TheSmartGuy
89
90	!!Drake Who Walks Alone
91
92	->[on [[InnocentFlowerGirl Hanami]]] ''"Could be an act. People lie."''
93
94	A really, ''really'' old white wolf who has lived in Tasakeru for longer than anyone can remember. He helps out the Outcasts from time to time, when he feels like it. [[spoiler:He was apparently the first wolf ever inducted into the Silver Order, but the Order denies this.]]
95	[[hardline]]
96	Tropes associated with Drake include:
97	%%* StealthHiBye: He does this to the group when they find the dead spiders in Book I.

101	[[folder:Supporting Cast]]
102
103	!!Naole Takaishi
104
105	Zero's little sister who still lives in Unify. Sixteen years old. She has a job as an apprentice healer with the Silver Order, and helps the Outcasts by gathering food supplies in secret.
106	[[hardline]]
107	Tropes associated with Naole include:
108	* DontYouDarePityMe: She refuses to let Zero feel sorry for her, or himself, because of her illness.
109	%%* {{Tomboy}}: Of sorts.
110
111	!!Nadeshiko Argenteus
112
113	A 17-year-old female skunk who is next in line for the leadership of the Silver Order. She is the field commander of the Order's knights, and possesses [[TeenGenius a brilliant mind]], but [[GoodIsNotNice an ice-cold personality]].
114	[[hardline]]
115	Tropes associated with Nadeshiko include:
116	%%* DefrostingIceQueen: Begins thawing out after she meets Persephone.
117	* GoodIsNotNice: She never smiles, her personality is blunt and abrasive, and she has very little sympathy for the Outcasts, starving or not. Borders on InspectorJavert at times.
118	%%* LadyOfWar: Field commander of the Order at [[TeenGenius age seventeen]].
119	* MeaningfulName: "Argent" is latin for "silver."
120
121	!!Lily Argenteus
122	The current Grand Mistress of the Silver Order, and Nadeshiko's mother. Considerably nicer and more patient than her daughter.
123
124	!!Benson and Virgil
125
126	ThoseTwoGuys who are frequently seen at Faun's favorite tavern, [[IncrediblyLamePun the Fool's Rush Inn]]. Benson is a raccoon, and Virgil is a fox. Both are drunkards and perverts, but Faun always gets the better of them.
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Villains '''(SPOILER WARNING)''']]
130
131	!!N'Ktane
132
133	The BigBad of Book I, N'Ktane is a sentient [[SpiderPeople female spider]]. She lives in an ancient cavern in Tasakeru and rules over a HiveMind of animalistic drone spiders, her children. The Outcasts battled her when investigating her children's attacks on both the forest and Unify, and the battle with her forces Hanami to reveal [[GreenThumb her powers]] to save herself and the other Outcasts.
134	[[hardline]]
135	Tropes associated with N'Ktane include:
136	* BerserkButton: Touch her children and ''die''.
137	%%* GiantSpider: With a more humanoid body than those of her children.
138	%%* HiveQueen
139	%%* HypnoticEyes: These go in line with her being a [[PsychicPowers reader]].
140	* LackOfEmpathy: She knows full well that she and her children cause unbearable agony to the sentients trapped in her lair, being able to read their thoughts... and not only does she not care, she prolongs their suffering as long as possible.
141	* MamaBear: Gets ''very'' angry at any thought of harming her children.
142	* MindRape: Inflicts mental torture on Hanami.
143	* PsychicPowers: N'Ktane is a "reader", the in-universe term for a sentient with psychic abilities. She uses them primarily to direct her children, but during the last chapter she uses them to communicate directly with the Outcasts in New Standard, and demonstrates HypnoticEyes, the ability to read Zero and Hanami's thoughts, and a talent for MindRape.
144	%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
145	%%* SpiderPeople
146
147	!!Seker the Last
148
149	An immortal mage from an ancient race that the other species called Titans, Seker is a jackal whom Faun found deep inside an obelisk buried in Kamen Desert. Three thousand years ago, Seker worked in the court of the Titans' ruler, the Faraou, and was assigned to create an immortality potion. After slaving away for three years, he completed the potion and took it for himself, seizing control of all of the world. His rule was short-lived, as a resistance movement collapsed his throne room around him and buried him in an obelisk, with only an enchanted mirror as a window to the outside world. Seker was trapped there for the next three thousand years, while his entire race died out under mysterious circumstances.
150	[[hardline]]
151	Tropes associated with Seker include:
152	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Faun screaming insults in his face brings him to his senses. The first thing he does is have a good laugh.
153	* TheBigGuy: At over two and a half meters tall, he towers over even Rowan.
154	* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Faun's tirade over being called "harlot" works this way.
155	* LastOfHisKind: The rest of the Titans have long since disappeared.
156	%%* LivingRelic
157	* TheNeedless: Seker doesn't need to eat, drink, or breathe, has no pulse, heat, or cold to his body, and is unable to sleep.
158	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Seker describes his body as "frozen in time"... not only can he not be harmed by weapons or magic, but he apparently can't ''sleep'', remaining awake for all three thousand-plus years of his imprisonment.
