14->''"Offer a wish?" It sounds kind of strange. It's normally a "prayer" that we offer, right? Yeah, I'm sure no reward will be returned. --I'm sure the only result will be that the day star will discover... my small, stupid wish... And... the day star will laugh at me.''

19The main protagonist. Clain is young boy who admires antiques and is estranged from his parents, who watch over him in their doppel avatars but are physically in other places entirely. He meets a temple priestess named Phryne, and it is this chance encounter that leads him to learn about the secret of the Fractale System.
20----
21* AccidentalPervert: Enri and his doppel parents incorrectly get this vibe whenever he is interacting with Phryne and [[TokenMiniMoe Nessa]] in a way that could be verbally [[DoubleEntendre implicated]] [[NotWhatItLooksLike in a sexual manner]]. Clain never catches a break with this.
22* AdaptationDyeJob: He is originally a blond in the promotional ads, but his hair was a paler shade of blond.
23* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Towards Phryne and Nessa.
24* BareHandedBladeBlock: Attempted one in Episode 7.

28* DisguisedInDrag: While in Xanadu.
29* DisneyDeath: When Colin shoots him. [[UnexplainedRecovery He gets better]] thanks to the advanced medical technology of the Fractale System.
30* DoggedNiceGuy: To Phryne.
31* TheDulcineaEffect:
32** When he first meets Phryne, he instinctively wants to help her, and she is probably the first, real human he's seen in a while since most humans use doppels. He is obviously attracted to Phryne and seems to have developed feelings for her, [[spoiler:but it really kicks in when he is only concerned about Phryne during the temple's attack on Granites Village, and he chooses to rescue Phryne, leaving Nessa behind when she refuses to follow him in Episode 4.]]
33** The same goes for [[spoiler:Phryne's clone]] in Episode 8. He's not really interested in her, preferring to rescue "his" special Phryne, but after getting to know [[spoiler:Phryne's clone]], he decides that she's special to him too [[spoiler:and refuses to let her die when she's been labeled an {{expendable clone}}.]]

42%%* IJustWantToHaveFriends
43%%* KidHero
44* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He is left out of the loop by Phryne, who leaves him in Episode 1 without so much as a word or farewell. When she tries to pull this a second time in Episode 4, he's had enough of being a pushover and calls her out on it.
45* LongingLook: While looking at Phryne.
46* LoveAtFirstSight: Is described to have "fallen in love at first sight" with Phryne in summaries, whether he fully realizes this or not. [[spoiler:He finally admits that he likes Phryne in Episode 9.]]
47* LoveMakesYouDumb: Sometimes, he can be a little too far into TheDulcineaEffect for Phryne to make more "reasonable" decisions.
48* NiceGuy
49%%* NonActionGuy
50%%** NonActionSnarker
51* ObliviousToLove: When Enri tries to confess to him, he thinks she just has to go to the bathroom and she punches him in the face.

53%%* SupportingProtagonist

70A mysterious priestess being pursued by both the temple and Lost Millennium, Phryne is rescued by Clain. However, she leaves Clain shortly after, leaving behind a brooch to "protect" him. Phryne is said to be "the key to the world" and is the "daughter" (likely in a successor sense) of the Archpriestess Moeran.
71----
72* AdaptationDyeJob: Originally had purple hair and [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow matching purple eyes]] in the promotional ads.
73* AnchoredShip[=/=][[CelibateHero Celibate Heroine]]: In Episode 7, she refuses to admit that Clain is anything [[JustFriends more than a friend]] to her out of her belief that she doesn't deserve love.
74* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:Was almost raped by Gail before Enri knocked him out.]]
75* BadassInDistress[=/=]DamselInDistress: She isn't necessarily a damsel in distress, but she is constantly pursued by both the temple priests/priestesses and Lost Millennium. She is quite capable in [[BadassInDistress protecting herself and fending off against her pursuers]], but she gets captured by Lost Millennium in Episode 4, [[spoiler:is nearly raped by Gail]] in Episode 7, and [[spoiler:is captured by Barrot]] in Episode 8.
76* BarrierMaiden: As her status as the "key of the world." [[spoiler:It turns out that she is half of the "key"--the body--while Nessa is the other half--the mind. When they become one, they can become the "key" that can restore the Fractale System.]]
77* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Brunette.
78* BlueOni: To Nessa's RedOni.
79* BrokenBird: Implied to be one [[BeneathTheMask beneath]] her stoic nature.
80* CannotSpitItOut: Refuses to speak of her past or her feelings for Clain, but she is gradually [[DefrostingIceQueen warming]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality up]] to him.
81%%* TheChosenOne
82* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:Been in a coma for a year ever since becoming the "key" with Nessa. When she awakens, it's revealed that while she looks like Phryne, she has Nessa's personality.]]
83* CoolBigSis: Eventually towards Nessa.
84%%* CrypticConversation:
85%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: Episodes 7 and 8 hint at it.
86* DefiledForever: [[spoiler:Like the other clones, she is indicated to have suffered prolonged sexual abuse at the hands of her "father", possibly culminating in rape near the end. She views herself as a result as tarnished, and near the end refers to Nessa as herself "when I was beautiful".]]
87* DefrostingIceQueen[=/=]IceQueen: Zigzags between these two. She was ''[[InvertedTrope already]]'' a defrosted ice queen in Episode 1 after bonding with Clain, but from the looks of Episodes 3 and 4, she seems to have [[SnapBack regressed]] into an {{ice queen}}. By Episode 5, she's a defrosted ice queen again.
88* {{Determinator}} PluckyGirl
89* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Her [[CrypticConversation cryptic words]] in Episode 1 implicate that she [[TimeTravel may not]] be from Clain's present era.
90* GodivaHair: For a bit when she needs help applying medicine to an injury on her back in Episode 1.
91* GreenEyedMonster: She reveals in Episode 5 that it was painful for her to see the doppel Nessa because she felt Nessa was more important to the temple than she is, and the reason she took the brooch containing Nessa was to "end things."
92* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She doesn't think too much of herself and even doesn't believe she deserves love.
93%%* HiddenDepths
94* HimeCut: A priestess and {{onnesama}} with a hairstyle that matches the trope: long length, even bangs and sidelocks.
95* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:An interesting variant. In Episode 9, Phryne leaves while Clain and Nessa are asleep in an attempt to stop Moeran and Barrot while wanting Clain and Nessa--who she feels is more of the person she was--to stay together.]]
96%%* IneffectualLoner
97* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She easily strips her clothes off on a whim.
98* JustFriends: Phryne's preferred view of her relationship with Clain in Episode 7, claiming that she has no right to be loved.
99%%* TheLancer
100%%* LongHairIsFeminine
101* LossOfIdentity: The reason why Phryne escaped the temple. She feared she would only be regarded as the "key" and would lose herself in the process.
102%%* {{MacGuffin}}:
103* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Subverted. See DefrostingIceQueen.
104* MeaningfulName: Phryne means "a demand for one's arbitrary condition" or "toad" in Greek and is also the name of a famous courtesan in Ancient Greece. It's ironic to say the least that while she is strong-willed and stubborn as the first meaning of her name suggests, [[spoiler:she is implied to be a virgin.]]
105%%* MeetCute
106* MessianicArchetype: She eventually develops into this role, not just because of her status as the [[BarrierMaiden "key"]] and [[TheChosenOne the world's beloved maiden]]. [[spoiler:She leaves Clain and Nessa in order to negotiate with the temple instead of constant conflict and in order to protect Clain, Nessa, and Lost Millennium while trying to free the world from the Fractale System so people can think for themselves for once. She even decides to save Moeran as well when Moeran reveals that she has envied Phryne for being loved by the world when she is not.]]
107%%* MysteriousWaif
108%%* NunsAreMiko

110%%* OnlyOneName
111%%** YouAreNumberSix
112%%* PursuedProtagonist
113* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Implied by Barrot.]]
114%%* RavenHairIvorySkin
115* TheRunaway: Her running away from the temple (and taking the brooch containing Nessa along with her) drives the plot of the story, as Phryne is pursued by both the temple priests/priestesses and Lost Millennium because of her status as the "key."
116* TheStoic
117** NotSoStoic:
118*** When she delivers a slap to Clain in Episode 4.
119*** [[spoiler:When Gail attempts to rape her]] in Episode 7.
120*** [[spoiler:Seeing her clones that have been labeled useless getting destroyed]] in Episode 8.
121%%* StockingFiller
122%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
123* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler:In Episode 10, Phryne pleads to Moeran that she will stay in the temple as long as Nessa is spared.]]
124* ThisIsSomethingShesGotToDoHerself: Which is why she always keeps Clain {{locked out of the loop}}. [[spoiler:In Episode 9, she leaves Clain and Nessa in an attempt to stop the temple herself.]]
125* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a little taller than Clain.
126* {{Tomboy}}: In Clain's opinion. And he's not entirely wrong since she lacks modesty and strips whenever she pleases, and Clain and Phryne have a childish running race up a hill for no apparent reason in Episode 6. Even Barrot thinks so, having referred to Phryne as [[TermsOfEndangerment "my sweet tomboy"]] in Episode 7.
127%%* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Clain.
128* UnwantedRescue: Clain twice tries to rescue her in Episode 4 from Lost Millennium, but she isn't fairly cooperative in either attempts.

141
142Nessa is a happy-go-lucky female doppel who appeared from Phryne's brooch. Clain initially assumes she is Phryne's doppel, although Nessa has no memories of Phryne, and she can be physically touched--a rarity in doppels. Nessa "loves" love and "hates" hate.

155'''Clain''': Huh...? Well...\
156'''Nessa''': Don't think about Phryne! [''[[TheGlomp glomps]]''] Think only about Nessa! Nessa, Nessa, Nessa, Nessa!
157* ComicallyMissingThePoint[=/=]InnocentInaccurate: She often misunderstands situations out of her naivety and innocence. When the temple's airship attacks Granites Village in Episode 4, she sees it and is in awe by how pretty all the "flickering lights" are.

160%%* FlowerMotifs
161%%* ForHappiness
162%%* GenkiGirl
163%%* GirlishPigtails
164* GreenEyedMonster: She is jealous because, as a doppel, she cannot experience things like humans can, such as the taste of food. She also got quite [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy and jealous]] over Clain whenever Phryne is involved in Episode 4. She gets over it in Episode 5.
165%%* HolyChild
166%%* TheIngenue
167%%* InvisibleToNormals
168* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Clain assumes that she is Phryne's doppel, but she has no recollection of Phryne.

However, Episode 8 reveals that the priestess "Nessa" is one of many clones of Phryne from her childhood. Episode 9 has Phryne tell Clain that Nessa and she are two halves of the "key"--Nessa as the mind and Phryne as the body to host it--and when they are one, they will be able to restore the Fractale System.]]

224* BigBrotherWorship: Towards her older brother Sunda. She's fairly affectionate towards him and refers to him respectfully as ''[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology nii]][[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics sama]]'', and he seems to be the only one who can silence her.
225%%* TheBigGuy
226* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The Blonde.
227* BraidsOfAction: While she appears incompetent and purely there for [[PluckyComicRelief comic relief]], she ''does'' manage to capture Clain and Nessa in Episode 2 and she certainly knows how to use a gun.

238* NotSoAboveItAll: She acts tough and aggressive, but is absolutely beside herself with grief when [[spoiler: Butcher]] dies.

It's only after her grandfather points out he can see her reflection in the window crying that she drops the facade.

277* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Though it's a bit of a stretch [[WellIntentionedExtremist all things considering]], he is far more reasonable than other L.M. faction leaders like [[{{Jerkass}} Dias]].

317* ColorCodedPatrician: Wears a distinct blue cape/mantle among the other priest/priestesses.

320* IHaveYouNowMyPretty:
