Voiced by: Jang Mi (Korean), Ruriko Noguchi (Japanese)
An artificial Soul created by a certain scientist to be the operator of one of the arks used by humanity to try and escape extinction. When a certain event made her fail that mission, her ship returned to Earth to act on her second directive: to await the arrival of a "Savior" that will bring salvation to the Souls.- Animal Motifs: Though not expressed in her usual appearance, she has a fondness for cats. One of her leitmotifs features a cat meowing in the background, and her first and True Ending CGs feature her touching a cat's nose and her hugging the Savior in the cat pajamas he gave her, respectively, among other things.
- Artificial Human: Artificial "Soul" in this case. She was created by Dr. Faust for two purposes: to pilot the Metatron and save humanity from extinction, and if that fails, to await the arrival of a Savior that will save the world as she knew it. Also, while talking to her in Town, she may sometimes mention having a hygrometer installed within her so that she can sense humidity levels in the environment. The Tower of Origin reveals that to create her, in addition to a great amount of ANIMA required to form a Soul, Faust modeled her after one of her daughters' data to simplify the process.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Her Passive Skill "Multi-Dimensional Analysis" has her analyze her enemies' patterns and weaknesses to make them take critical hits from allies much more often (up to 30%) while the debuff is active.
- Biblical Motifs: Notable mentions to her ark being named after the angel Metatron and the line she says in Prelude Episode 2 that would signal the End of Eden as they know it:Mephistopheles: —Before the fifth trumpet
sounds and the End sweeps everything away… - Dangerous Forbidden Technique: In the seventh episode of her Love Story, Mephi ends up leveling her Spear of the Ark to its highest, but the sheer power it consumed puts the Ark in an overloaded and uncontrollable mode. Depending on the choices you made along the way, Mephi will: disappear almost instantaneously (Bad Ending), use her remaining power to send the Savior, who ends up becoming the Ark's target, back to his own time and leave one final goodbye in the present time (Normal), or survive the ordeal and regain full control of the Ark with the unbreakable bond she's formed with the Savior (True).
- Deuteragonist: Shares the spot with Queen Yuria in terms of her influence on the Savior and his actions throughout the story.
- Good Wears White: Follows the same color scheme as the Savior and Queen Yuria: primarily white outfit with black underneath and gold linings. As with the both of them, she is certainly on the good guys' side.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the ending of Chapter 6, following the full awakening of Apollyon and her dropping a giant Flaming Meteor onto the earth like she did to eradicate humanity all those years ago, Mephi decides to pilot her ark and collide head-on with said meteor, potentially destroying the ark and her in the process. Before she could do that however, the Savior makes her promise him that she will return safe and sound. Her fate is left on a Cliffhanger until late December 2023.
- Image Song: "Take My Hand". This gets an instrumental cello version following her Heroic Sacrifice in Chapter 6.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: She is very fond of cats, so much so that some of her characteristics and story beats are influenced by them, based on the Animal Motifs mentioned above.
- She can be seen in the commercial district sometimes muttering to herself if she can encounter a cat while strolling (provided she's either obtained and visiting or unobtained and currently in a pick-up banner), and she may also mention some cat facts whenever you talk to her either through bonding or by tapping her in the level-up screen, like seeing a sort of rivalry between calicos and tabbies in Arkenine.
- Not even the famed idol Seeha can escape Mephi's fascination, though it's mostly been limited to observing her at best; she mentioned getting distracted by her cat ears—and quickly correcting it to Seeha's singing—during Episode 7 of Seeha's Love Story.
- Leitmotif: Has two: "Wandering Kitten" and "First Mission".
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Her part of the payment for summoning the Savior to the future, even though she is ultimately an artificial intelligence. She lost crucial information in regards to piloting the Ark, and some of her memories from before the events of the game.
- Magical Barefooter: Eschews shoes since she can levitate. She would later wear shoes in her schoolgirl costume.
- Mephistopheles: Named after said demon, but is very distinctly an outlier for the trope. Outside of her connection to her creator, a scientist named Dr. Faust, she acts nothing like her demonic namesake, being more of a sentient AI than a wish-granting demon. Later, it turns out her being named after said demon isn't so random after all—in the Tower of Origin, it's revealed that Dr. Faust implemented the power of deception into Mephi, a power so strong that it managed to make Mephi deceive herself; Mephistopheles has been characterized as a deceitful demon who will always get what it wants.
- My Greatest Failure: Greatly shown in the webcomic and touched upon a little in-game through Main Story cutscenes and text records from the Tower of Origin, her failing to ensure humanity's survival within the Ark following an easily-avoidable solar storm that crippled all life support on the ship, and the very short-lived friendship she had with the only remaining living human onboard, have weighted heavily on her, even when pieces of said memories have been erased after the summoning ritual.
- Mysterious Waif: Not much is known about her outside of her purpose and likes. She also more or less forgot most of her past memories due to the payment she had to give to summon the Savior to Eden. Even with the memory-restoring capabilities of the Tower of Origin, her very own Ark restricts her from accessing more of her past memories without a "key", making her the only Soul whose backstory is never explored fully in said game mode.
- Power Floats: While her default model has her sitting on a levitating crystal or walking around like everyone else in Town, she floats by herself during combat and her victory animation has her gliding around the place.
- The Promise:
- Promises to send the Savior back to his own time once everything is over, whatever it takes. She manages to do that in her Normal ending, but that was because the Savior was in danger and she was gradually losing her life.
- Forms another one following the end of her Tower of Origin run. Both her and the Savior promise to each other that they will stick by each other's side even when Mephi ends up deceiving everyone due to her inherent power to do as such.
- Yet another one is formed by the end of Chapter 6. After expressing her suicidal plan to stop Apollyon's meteor from impacting the earth again by colliding her ark with it, the Savior, being unable to accept this as a "goodbye", makes her promise him that she will return to everyone safe and sound. Whether or not she keeps this promise remains to be seen as said chapter ends in a Cliffhanger.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: In a Tower of Origin episode, Amy describes Mephi as "the Operator who will always be close to humans" as her "defectiveness", which is intentional on Dr. Faust's part, differentiates her from the other Ark Operators, and allows her to be bound to the Savior in the first place.
- The Stoic: Subverted. Initially appears as such due to her artificial origins and robot-like diction, but her expressions afterwards are all but stoic. This all started when she experienced an "error" in her programming following Amy Faust's death, resulting in her exploring the realm of "emotions".
- Super Prototype: She is the very first artificial Soul to be created for the purpose of piloting the nine Arks. As such, Dr. Faust and an unknown individual gave her special directives and certain abilities that would separate her from all the other Ark Operators that would come after her: the ability to process and feel emotions, a second directive pertaining to the summoning of the Savior, and the ability to deceive both herself and the people around her.
- Sweet Tooth: Really likes cake, particularly strawberry cake. It's one of her favored Gifts, and one of the 1-panel loading screen comics show her eating a slice of cake "at precise angles with perfect calculations".
- Wave-Motion Gun: Her Ultimate skill, Spear of the Ark, involves her shooting a massive Mana-powered laser cannon from the Ark in the sky, dealing great AoE damage onto anyone caught in its target radius. In Velanna's Love Story, it's shown that it can be charged up to the point that any Soul that ends up on its receiving end will be totally killed with no chance to resurrect ever again.
- When She Smiles: She isn't entirely expressionless, but this trope applies for two of three endings of her Love Story: Normal, where she looks back at the Savior bitterly smiling while fireworks set off in the sky, and True, where she lovingly hugs him while wearing her cat pajamas and smiling.
- Workaholic: Accounting for the previously-mentioned My Greatest Failure, she works very hard to protect the Savior and the world, causing both him and Queen Yuria to worry about her well-being at times.

Height: 157cm
Birthday: 6/14
Hobbies: Scouting, singing, dancing
Specialty: Communicating
Likes: Playing games, spacing out, listening to music
Dislikes: Thunder and lightning, heat, chocolate
Voiced by: Hari Choi (Korean), ??? (Japanese)
Mica and Seeha's manager at Bestie Production. She's a well-liked girl who's really good at taking care of others, but she has a certain talent that she keeps secret...- Early-Bird Cameo: Before being made playable, she shows up in Mica and Seeha's Love Stories.
- Cleavage Window: Her shirt opens up in the middle to allow a prominent view of her deep cleavage. Her idol outfit changes this up by baring it at the top.
- Idol Singer: Gets a brief stint at this in her Love Story. Depending on your choices, she can end up staying an idol, returning to her managerial role, or be heavily burdened by everything that she decides to hole up in your room for practically forever. Her Love Story costume is the outfit she has as an idol.
- The Runaway: Her Bad Ending. In the seventh episode, Naomi starts deciding whether or not she should continue being an idol. Making enough wrong choices up to this point will lead the Savior into becoming indecisive towards expressing his feelings for Naomi, telling her to "bear the responsibilities" of whatever choice she'll make with her career going forward. This turns Naomi into a cripplingly anxious Soul, unable to choose between her new life as an idol and her old life as a manager. As a result, she runs away from everything with the Savior's help, letting her stay in his room for who knows how long, blaming himself for all that happened.
- Say It with Hearts: As befits a manager of shining idols (and having potential to be one), all her skill names are adorned with stars~☆

Height: 150cm
Birthday: 5/30
Hobbies: Word chain games
Specialty: Imitating a bear
Likes: Ham
Dislikes: Spacing out
Voiced by: Yealim Kim (Korean), Takako Tanaka (Japanese)
A childish Soul who likes bears so much she wants to become one. In an effort to do so, she dresses up in a bear costume and tries to perform acts a bear would do.- Fantastic Fighting Style: Her own martial arts called "Bearjutsu", which basically boils down to her rushing into the frontlines to throw heavy punches and kicks themed after bears.
- Jungle Princess: She's spent most of her known life living within Fayren Forest, and as a result, she has no sense of economic value or social skills needed for her to interact with anyone that isn't from Fayren. Even her desire to become a Forest Keeper is only so that she can be stationed to Chalar and live with polar bears, not to earn a salary. Her Love Story revolves around her learning to develop social skills needed to live in an urban environment with the Savior's help.
- Raised By Animals: She was raised by a bear after she awakened on the world of Eden and was practically lost on what to do, which is why she adores bears in the first place.

The richest Soul in Eden, she leads the biggest merchants' guild in the continent.- Leitmotif: "Elegant Golden Afternoon".
- Midas Touch: Her Artifact is literally the Hand of Midas. She has the power over wealth, and can practically make money out of thin air.
- Non-Idle Rich: Despite her power over wealth, she worked hard to establish her own merchant's guild in order for her to learn to value money.
Order of Blackhawk
Linzy
"My eyes are up here."
Rarity: Epic -> Origin+5
Title: Lady Noir
Artifact: Fragarach
Height: 165cm
Birthday: 2/5
Hobbies: Appreciating scenery, high places
Specialty: Excellent hunch
Likes: Lilies, herbal tea
Dislikes: Mayonnaise
Voiced by: Jiyoon Park (Korean), Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese)
The commander of the Order of Blackhawk, she is one of, if not the, Solrey Kingdom's aces, being capable of fighting alone as much as being capable of smart tactics and teamwork.
- The Ace: She strives for perfection in terms of her combat ability, which makes her a very competent warrior and order commander. This also serves as a detriment to her though, as her perfectionist personality makes her unapproachable and not one to give praise, unlike the much more accommodating Claire.
- This aspect of her is expanded upon in her Tower of Origin: her perfectionism stemmed from her perceived inadequacy as a result of her second master Lugh Lámhfhada choosing to use his spear instead of the Fragarach in his fated battle against his foe Balor. From that day forward, she promised to herself that she will be as perfect as possible for her future masters, which would be exploited by the Dominas once they gave her a physical form, pushing her to fight and kill their enemies for them.
- Back from the Dead: The very next chapter after her "death" in Chapter 3, she is subsequently resurrected through a ritual that the Savior, Mephi, her two childhood friends, and Rebecca prepared in the Cave of Death, just in time to prevent her ghost from crossing over to the other side. Despite celebrations being in order, a bit of a downer is revealed as the resurrected Linzy only has her memories up to just before she met the Savior, fully resetting their relationship.
- Childhood Friends: With Chloe and Rose.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Dresses in all black and is a powerful combatant in her own right, but her allegiance lies with Queen Yuria and the Solrey Kingdom, and subsequently the Savior as well.
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: Her Tower of Origin episodes are all titled in Irish:
- Episode 1 is "Ullachadh", meaning "Preparation",
- Episode 2 is "Am Freagarrach", the Celtic reading of the Fragarach,
- Episode 3 is "Moladh", meaning "Praise", and
- Episode 4 is "Geas", a word usually connected to curses, but means "Vow" in this context.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Seemingly "dies" in the climax of Chapter 3, as she performs a suicide attack to halt the Forgotten Ruins' defensive android Jacqueline from self-destruction that would lead to the ruins' collapse. Taking the brunt of the resulting explosion, she dissipates and leaves behind her Soul Core, slipping into a deep sleep for an indeterminate period of time. She gets better by the end of the next chapter, but she loses any memories she had with the Savior in the process.
- Lady of War: Retains her gracefulness in combat, as it manifests in her capability to dodge provoked enemies and stacking her unique status effect "Daze" with every successful evasion, gradually raising her critical damage multiplier up to 20 stacks, with a bonus attack boost if you have her equip Fragarach.
- Leitmotif: "Pristine Perfection".
- Power Trio: With her two Childhood Friends, despite both of them being assigned to the other knight order. When together, they are a formidable force to be reckoned with, with Chloe's tankiness, Linzy's offensive specializations, and Rose's supporting abilities.
- Sword and Gun: Wields a sword in her left hand and a gun in her right. She uses both weapons in her attacks, whether they be normal attacks or her skill attacks. This was also the fighting style of her previous master Lugh, who was described in-game as wielding Fragarach in one hand and "bullets of light" in the other, assumed to be his slingshot in the actual Celtic myth.
- Undying Loyalty: Towards Yuria and the Savior. The latter's case is portrayed in full effect during the last episode of her Tower of Origin, where she declares him her new master after finally realizing her previous master's reasoning for not using her in his most pivotal battle with his help. The Savior then gets a chance to properly knight her there, fortifying their trust towards each other.
Order of Sun
Catherine
Rarity: Epic -> Origin+5
Title: Holy Spirit's Touch
Artifact: Holy Shroud
Height: 156cm
Birthday: 4/5
Hobbies: Baking cookies
Specialty: Sermon
Likes: Hot pot-au-feu
Dislikes: Oatmeal porridge
Voiced by: Jiyoung Lee (Korean), Kaori Nazuka (Japanese)
A nun of the Order of Sun who is very kind-hearted and approachable. Coming from a life of poverty, she has a crutch that she uses both as a support for her crippled leg and as a weapon for when she fights.- Badass Preacher: She's as much of a fighter as she is a servant of Eve. In her Normal and True Endings, she dispels the doubts her followers have about the Savior and Yuria, and trying to put Catherine on a pedestal, with her firm but gentle words alone.
- Barrier Warrior: She is a melee-type Soul that can fight in the frontlines, as her main gimmick is to protect any Soul within her range from damage, may it be by temporary No-Sell or shields that take damage for those buffed with them.
- Cincinnatus: In Main Story Chapter 6, she's chosen by the Savior to temporarily lead Solrey while he and his party go and rescue Yuria from the hands of Kayrin Faust and her plans to reawaken Yuria's true personality and subjugate her, all because he believes Catherine is strong enough to handle both the Crown of the Sun's Mana-leeching power and the responsibilities of a ruler. While reluctant, she takes up the role as she does want to soothe the people's fears and reassure them that the Savior will be successful in his rescue attempt.
- Evil Doppelgänger: Has one in the form of the Saint of Sorrow.
- Gratuitous Latin: As part of her faith, her skills are all named after various Christian songs: Kyrie, Gloria, Agnus Dei, Credo, and Sanctus.
- Handicapped Badass: She may need a crutch and a prosthetic leg to walk around with, but she uses said disability as best as she can to fight, usually by using the crutch to build enough momentum to swing her body around and kick her enemies in the face.
- Humble Hero: A recurring point in her Love Story is about her living without extravagance.
- During her Love Story, she hears out a Soul's grievances over a fight she had with a friend until the Soul realizes it was because she saw her flaws reflected in her friend. Catherine makes it clear that it was the Soul who figured it out, not the nun herself who only listened.
- Despite being able to afford a better prosthetic and crutch, she continued to use the same old ones she had until today.
- She was said to have done so well as a nun that she got scouted for other big-name cathedrals in the past, but she chose the Order of Sun so she could live close to the people.
- In her Normal Ending, she affirms to her overzealous followers that she doesn't want to be put on the same level as Eve, Yuria, and the Savior. Her True Ending makes herself even humbler by tripping in the cathedral to the crowd's surprise and worry when her prosthetic leg breaks down. Even then, she gives a sermon while propping herself against a window, saying she only needs her heart—not healthy legs or fancy crutches—to serve Eve.
- Leitmotif: "A Warm Hug".
- Nun Too Holy: Subdued. Her True Ending has her confess privately (with the Savior accidentally overhearing while cleaning inside a confessional booth) that despite having taken the Vow of Celibacy and wanting to love everyone equally, she's fallen deeply in love with the Savior, and that she will keep said love a secret from everyone, including the Savior, for as long as she lives.
- Rags to Riches: Before her fame as a nun, her profile mentions she once lived in poverty. The second episode of her Love Story shows a brief flashback of this, where she and some other Souls ate Poverty Food. Her profile states she dislikes oatmeal porridge, heavily implying that's what she ate.
- Sistine Steal: Catherine's summoning animation depicts this with her and some sort of angelic being.
- Yoko Oh No: During her Love Story, Catherine's more zealous followers become increasingly irate over the Savior's closeness with her.
The Saint of Sorrow
- Crown of Power: Main Story Chapter 6 reveals that the crown she's wearing is a prototype of Queen Yuria's Crown of the Sun, which morphed to better suit her as she's made regent of Solrey in response to Yuria being held in captivity by Kayrin. Said crown is a wish-granting Aurelian invention that grants whatever its user wants in exchange for their mana. While the main timeline Cath is currently fine as a Reluctant Ruler, this version of her fell into despair after the Savior's death, corrupting the crown into granting her dark power.
- Despair Event Horizon: She was being plagued with nightmares and whispers that were tempting her to relinquish her role as a nun to pursue a romantic relationship with the Savior. She kept them at bay, but they were chipping away at her sanity, and they finally won her over as she saw the Savior die before her eyes, desperately asking the gods to save his life.
- Evil Doppelgänger: To Catherine. This aspect of hers seems to be her True Ending taken to its darkest logical extreme, with her secret longing for the Savior eating away at her perceived responsibilities as a nun, ultimately breaking when he unceremoniously dies while on duty.
- Gratuitous Latin: Much like her normal counterpart, her skills are all written in Latin:
- Her Main Skill is "Veritas Lux Mea", which means "Truth is my light,"
- Her first subskill "Monstro divinitas" means "I reveal the divine,"
- Her second subskill "Scelus expendo" means "I weigh the crime,"
- Her third subskill "Judicatrix" refers to female judges in Latin society, and
- Her final subskill "Dii te ament" means "May the gods love you."
- Leitmotif: "Votum"* , which has some parts taken from "Ode to Joy". Also doubles as her boss theme.

The commander of the Order of Sun. Her excellent leadership and serious demeanor towards her duty has earned her a lot of respect from the knights of both knight orders.- The Berserker: She doesn't exactly fit the usual bells and whistles of the trope, but her gameplay shtick is to charge in head-first into enemy lines once the battle starts, disrupting the enemy team at times, all to ensure your backline can build up enough Mana to start unleashing damage and heals for her.
- Marshmallow Hell: Ends up on the receiving end of this courtesy of Honglan who, being an airhead, slips and lands on top of Claire, with her boobs smack dab on the poor woman's face, "traumatizing" her to the point when someone mentions "moles", she'll think back to the incident unconsciously. Given that this happened at least a year before the events of the game proper, this has become a sort of an Old Shame for her, and would constantly lose her composure whenever Honglan is around as a result of the incident.
- A Mother to Her Men: There's a reason why she's the more popular knight commander between her and Linzy. Aside from her being a much approachable Reasonable Authority Figure, she really cares for the knights in her Order, and a line from the Prayer Statue would often mention of her wishing the Souls under her who "lost" their lives in combat can return home soon.
- The Paladin: Serves as this, especially when compared to the other playable Souls that are also part of Solrey's Knight Orders. As the Soul of Jeanne d'Arc's Flag, she embodies the noble virtues of said historical figure as protector for Queen Yuria.

A spirited knight of the Order of Sun. She admires Chloe for her upbeat personality and frank attitude.- Formally-Named Pet: She owns a corgi puppy named "Sylvester Joy III" that she loves very much. Said corgi becomes a significant plot point in Chloe's Love Story, as its well-being becomes the crux of each of her endings.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Her Active Skill has her recklessly charging into the backline to attack them. Only problem is that... she is a Rare Soul.
- Tropey, Come Home: During Chloe's Love Story, Sylvester Joy III suddenly goes missing, leaving Rita devastated as she desperately searches for him, even using up her vacation days to do so. After said vacation days run out, she considers leaving the knight order to continue the search, until Chloe and her fellow knights try to pitch in support for her by claiming to give her their vacation days instead. Then Claire, overhearing them, reminds them that they can't actually do that, while giving both Rita and Chloe an excuse to look for him by allowing them to patrol outside the city for a few weeks, in exchange for Rita reconsidering her dismissal. Depending on the player's choices, this trope can either end happily or tragically.

A youthful nun of the Order of Sun and a childhood friend of Chloe and Linzy. Despite her relative youth and lack of significant power compared to her two older friends, she tries her best to keep up with them and would sometimes rein them in when they find themselves arguing on a regular basis.
- A Day in the Limelight: Basically the character that spurs the events of Chapter 4, as she gets everyone to help her and Chloe attempt to resurrect Linzy before she actually "crosses over" and fall in a deep sleep for a good while.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: Her rarity as a Rare unit makes it so that her relative youth and unknown Artifact status aligns with her lack of power, especially compared to her two other Childhood Friends who are of Epic rarity and originated from named legendary Artifacts. This powerlessness becomes a plot point in Main Story Chapter 4 as Jacqueline easily wipes the floor with her as she tests her on her combat readiness for the Cave of Death.
- Stepford Smiler: She's got amazing patience to stay calm even in the middle of a city burning during the story prologue, or getting irritated from having to mediate Linzy's and Chloe's spats. When she does blow a gasket in one flashback during Chapter 3, it's bad enough that Linzy and Chloe are shocked into silence, then made a truce with each other to apologize to the sulking nun.Linzy (when talked to in Town): "If you were to ask who is more high maintenance between Rose and Chloe... Surprisingly, it's Rose. What you see is what you get for Chloe. Rose, on the other hand, keeps to herself. That means you need to pay close attention to Rose. You need to keep her calm, or else she'll explode."
- Stronger Than They Look: It's stated in their mutual Link Story that Rose sees herself as "modest" compared to Chloe and Linzy, and this is reflected in her starting rarity being Rare while the latter two start off as Epic. That said, the Link Story goes on to note that other people, including Chloe and Linzy, see Rose as the strongest of the trio, the person in question being unaware of this. It remains to be seen whether this is an Informed Attribute.
- Weapon Twirling: As her profile's specialty states, she likes to spin her staff in her hands as easy as a baton, prominently in her victory animation topped with a little Girly Skirt Twirl.

- Attack! Attack! Attack!: Her entire skillset is based around critical hits to wipe out the enemy within moments, the Double Moonslice sub-skill letting her Flash Step to an enemy with the highest attack—usually the backline—and cut a swathe towards the rest.
- Cherry Blossom Girl: Always has pink glowing petals not just in her splash art, but whenever she activates skills in battle, has them in her Ultimate Skill and it's cut-in animation, and has some flying around in her victory pose. Poignant in regards to how quickly life ends, whether as a short-lived sakura bloom or under a deadly sword.
- Katanas Are Just Better: As a Soul based on a maker of Japanese swords, she wields one. Unlike conventional ones, it lacks a tsuba (guard) and instead has diamond-like objects floating around where it should be.
- Kill the Ones You Love: Her Love Story's conflict revolves around the curse she received from an enemy she cut down around 300 years before the events of the game, which has her get possessed and kill her loved ones whenever she feels great happiness. Aki has since taken to traveling to avoid connecting to other people so she wouldn't be forced to kill them.
- Leitmotif: "Blooming Strike!!!".
- Master Swordswoman: Would you really expect the Soul of a sword with an untold amount of battle experience to be any less?
- Petal Power: Her Ultimate Skill, Profundity: Crimson Blossom, has her strike an enemy as a geyser of sakura petals to erupts underneath them.
- Walking the Earth: She wanders around the world doing odd jobs. The biggest reason for why she does is to avoid forming deep attachments with people, become happy from them, but then cause her curse to impel her into killing them.

A peppy flute player from Gaon, usually seen with Soonie. She is also a massive fan of the street idol Seeha, to the point where her interests have practically matched up with her. Despite her open-book personality, there seems to be a personal problem that she keeps to herself...- Bad Mood Retreat: Serves as her Love Story's Downer Ending. The dalgona she was using to decide her fate to become Gaon's Great Lord ended up breaking, along with the pattern she was trying to cut out. This sends her into a really bad depression that makes her decide to retreat to an unknown cave to sleep hundreds of years away, as she performs one last flute performance to the Savior who she may never see again once she wakes up.
- Cynic–Idealist Duo: Surprisingly the Cynic to Soonie's Idealist, although she is much more subdued than most examples. Soonie is a genuine Determinator who always looks forward with a smile and believes she can change the world with the power she has as a Soul, while Jiho had become a bit jaded following her experiences as a princess to a human country and her inability to change said country no matter how much power her Artifact may have provided, she just doesn't express it outwardly as she is a Stepford Smiler who would go listen to other people vent but wouldn't let herself vent out her frustrations.
- Early-Bird Cameo: On release, she would sometimes appear as a background character in Seeha's Love Story, appropriately named "Seeha's Fan", and in Soonie's Love Story as a supporting character, before her formal release two weeks later.
- Fangirl: Of Bestie Production as a whole, but she particularly fawns over Seeha. A lot of her dialogue revolves around her gushing over Seeha, and her Everphone wallpaper is set to a picture of her posing with a Seeha cardboard standee that the Savior takes in one of her Love Story chapters. She loves Seeha so much that she's started to change her preferences to be in line with her idol's, an example being her food preferences having changed from standard Gaon cuisine to Seeha's favorite leek bread, much to Soonie's chagrin. She also supports Mica in her endeavors, and becomes a significant fan of Naomi when she became a temporary idol in the latter's Love Story.
- Heads or Tails?: A variation of this is seen in the climax of her Love Story. To decide her fate, Jiho opts to use a dalgona, under the superstitious logic that breaking it without cutting out its pattern leads to bad luck, to choose between two options: cut out the pattern and she will step up as a Great Lord candidate, fail to cut it out and she decide to no longer pursue the thought. Depending on the Savior's choices up to this point, she can either cut out the pattern and pursue the lordship (Normal End), break the dalgona and go on a Bad Mood Retreat (Bad End), or the Savior blurts out an Ironic Echo that mentions something she said at the very beginning of her Love Story and she decides to take on the lordship regardless of what state the dalgona ends up in (True End).
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: She can sometimes be seen having a bunch of chubby cats accompanying her. Her Ultimate Skill also shows her with a group of cats playing a set of Korean instruments in tandem with her flute playing in order to calm a raging storm at sea.
- Leitmotif: "Echo of Happiness".
- Magical Flutist: Stemming from her being the Soul of the legendary Korean daegeum flute "Manpashikjeok", she is a flutist that implements magic to her music, by way of supportive and healing magic. She can also unleash a small twister from said flute that damages enemies close to her.
- Modest Royalty: Combined with King Incognito. The people of Arkenine outside of politically-active ones like Yuria aren't aware of Jiho being Gaon's princess in disguise, hiding in Arkenine due to her perceived low self-confidence in leading her country should she become the Great Lord. To them, she's simply just Jiho, a flute player from Gaon who would often listen to other Souls venting about their problems. The Savior himself isn't made aware of her royal status canonically, only learning about it further into her Love Story.
- Rags to Royalty: A rather unconventional example. In the beginning, she was just the Soul of a certain country's legendary flute who wanted to mingle with humans. One thing led to another and somehow she would become that country's dear princess, the experience of which had showed her that sometimes her powers and her Artifact are just powerless to the effects of the ever-changing world around her, which is why she actively avoids any talk in regards to Gaon's political climate and her own worries stemming from it. Taken one step further in her Love Story's Normal and True Ends where she decides to step up and lead Gaon, as she rises from a simple Soul curious of humans to the Great Lord of an oriental-style nation by Souls, for Souls.
- Sweet Tooth: She really likes dalgona candy, both trying to cut out the pattern in it and eating it. In one of her Town dialogue lines, she sometimes laments eating so much dalgona that she ended up with a cavity.
