City Assembly

Linglan

"The so-called fashion is just a trend that is controlled by a small number of people who have the power to speak."

Acting Speaker of the Assembly and the Chamber of Commerce’s Chairman. Her parents were assassinated when she was 15, so she became the heir of the family businesses, and did her best to climb up the ranks of power. Many people want her to die, including business rivals, ambitious relatives coveting her family property, and the nobles against the Assembly. She just keeps her elegance and patience in fighting back and even tries to lure out the one who killed her parents...

Alan

"All of us joined the Guardsmen because we swear to protect Finsel…"

Hero of the previous game, a civilian soldier who recently distinguished himself in battle and was thrust into the spotlight. The guardsmen call him a reliable captain, strict supervisor, and a good friend. Meanwhile, he also has other labels such as poor civil servant, beloved little brother and ordinary boy with little knowledge of romantic relationships. His most notable trait is his sense of justice — but he is not sure if he can consider it a good trait.

• Badass Adorable: He’s so cute that one would just want to cuddle him all day, but let’s not forget he’s also a well-respected military captain who will kick asses if he desires.
• Blue Is Heroic: He dresses in the blue uniform of the City Guards, and is all-in-all a good person.
• Clothing Damage: His "Warrior Alan" set has him absolutely torn up, offering a nice view of his chest and upper left thigh.
• Endearingly Dorky: Despite being a hero, he is a clumsy and rather awkward boy, sneaking dessert at a ball for his pet "pig", knowing very little about romantic relationships and often blushing upon seeing Magda. Eliza even lampshades this in Mom's Opinion.
  "You cannot love him no matter how cute he is! No, no, no, even if he is very cute in uniform shorts, or he blushes upon seeing you, the answer is still no!"^note He can still fall in love with you, anyway.
• Famed In-Story: He is known in the story as a hero and was thrust into the spotlight because of that.
• Famous Ancestor: Discussed. In Season 2, Gaelan claims that Alan is a descendant of Lionheart's High Knight, one of the most prestigious ranks in the Kingdom, in an attempt to sow discord between the civilians and nobles; to which Alan vehemently denies. However, Barbalius confirmed that the High Knight, which was thought to be a legend, had left Lionheart and proposes the theory that they may have chosen to settle in Finsel, thus Gaelan's claims cannot be outright denied. Additionally, it can be confirmed if Alan and the High Knight are indeed related by researching more about the topic.
• Hero of Another Story: He’s the protagonist of Helix Horizon, a now-closed male-oriented collectible hero ARPG.
• The Needs of the Many: When Tilla Jorcastle was under the control of black powder in Helix Horizon, Grand Duke Bavlenka gave Alan two choices: save Tilla, or save "everyone else"; to which Alan chose the latter. Gonzalo wasn’t exactly pleased, to say the least.
• Nice Guy: He’s an incredibly nice and pleasant addition to the nasty world of scheming nobles.
• Oblivious to Love: Seems to be unaware that Gonzalo holds some affection for him and also Florna’s crush on him, though for the latter there’s a chance he knows but chooses to ignore her.

Andre Wolf

A formerly noble knight whose family was cast out because of his father's alcohol abuse, which in turn costed the latter’s life. Andre was merely a mercenary when the Sulla's chaos brought a large amount of robbers, but after he rescued the noble ladies from the robbers’ camps, he has been accepted back to the Senate and is trying to revitalize his family‘s glory.

Xavier Y. Zewell

• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite how they act towards each other daily, Black Shadow is seen to be quite protective of Xavier; notably when the Seasonal Goddesses in the Snow Festival Event fight for Xavier as they want him as a "sacrifice" since he is a "pretty boy". Black Shadow then appears and stops the fight, vaguely threatening them if they dared take him away from Black Shadow. The Goddesses back down in the end, leaving Xavier alone.
• Covert Pervert: He's very attracted to Magda, but keeps his thoughts and desires to himself. Unfortunately for him, Black Shadow has no filter or loyalty to him and takes great delight in exposing his fantasies.
• Curtains Match the Window: His hair and eyes have the same orangish shade.
• Demonic Possession: Xavier's body has been host to the demon king Black Shadow for seven or eight years. Unusually for this trope, Xavier has full control over his body, even being able to mute Black Shadow on occasion, and Black Shadow manifests externally as a humanoid head hovering over his shoulder.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His orange hair goes past his hips, and is quite disheveled.
• Random Number God: In a way. A gacha system in this game involves obtaining clothing, materials and some other stuffs through a jeweled egg (think the Fabergé eggs), and according to him, he's the one that decides what's in there.
• Rags to Riches: He used to be an orphan in the slum, but is now a very well-respected and powerful mage in the Spiral Spire with fame among the noble ladies.

• Nouveau Riche: Maggie's father was a fisherman until he bought his way into a noble title. He's pushing Maggie to break into the social circles of Finsel's nobility, but unfortunately neither of them know much about the rules of etiquette and Maggie is largely snubbed by the nobility. It doesn't help that her sense of fashion consists mostly of piling on as much expensive decoration as possible.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: Coral, but still. Despite her lack of proper manner, she’s genuinely a nice person who has the desire to improve herself when Magda offers to give her guidance.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: Maggie’s poor fashion sense more than often makes her a laughing stock among nobles, but when Magda picks out a more pleasing attire for her to wear to a ball, she’s noted to cut a fine figure.

The Sky Church

Pan

"You must have been blinded by the desire of the mortal world. The goddess has decided to take some sinful coppers out of your pockets."

The stern, quiet, and respectable priest of the Sky Church in Finsel, he keeps out of political struggles, believing that the power of the Goddess should be used to help the weak, rather than to assist the strong. People in Finsel are not as religious as elsewhere, so he used to have problems making ends meet in the renovation of the church, but lately he received some large amount of anonymous donations...

• Hopeless Suitor: She has a crush on Alminas, but he still loves his late wife. Ironically for her, he is a romanceable character.

• Master of Disguise: She can easily disguise herself as someone else, such as a maid in Season 2.
• Only Friend: Kelly claims that Magda is this to her.
• Practical Villain: While calling her a villain would be too much a stretch, her love for rumors is obviously hurting people left and right. But even she knows how to shut her mouth up and turns a blind eye when it comes to certain figures.
  "I know a lot about nobles. But for certain families, I'm aware of what I should and shouldn't know. It's a skill!"

• Separated at Birth: While not at birth, Heather was given to the Church at the age of six while Helena stayed with their parents. Although Helena visits the Church from time to time to see Heather, the twins do not have a proper reunion until late in the main story as adults.

• Mystical White Hair: He has long, silver hair with turquoise streaks, and is a member of an ancient inhuman race of scholars and artisans.

Mandaria Illusion

Mr. Loong

The mysterious owner of the Soul Box the Illusion takes place in.

• Ambiguously Human: He implies that he is neither mortal nor human.

There's definitely something paranormal about him, given that he's the owner of the magical box which transports Magda into the illusion of Mandaria, and he has the ability to step into various minor roles as Magda lives out the story.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: Along with his white hair, he has golden eyes which further contribute to his air of mystery and magic.

Yun Zhe

The recently appointed Emperor of Cheng.

• A Child Shall Lead Them: He's the Emperor of Cheng at the age of fourteen.
• Hidden Depths: He's unexpectedly adept at medicine despite his age and position, and personally makes medical compounds for Magda several times during his favour storyline.
• Princeling Rivalry: Discussed with Magda late in his favour storyline—unlike his father selecting him in secret and leaving him unprepared when the news broke, he intends to announce his heir and prepare him for rule from the beginning, saying he trusts Magda (as the intended mother of his future heir) to help protect their son from this trope.
• Scheherezade Gambit: After offending him on the first night she is summoned to his chambers, Magda manages to both avoid his wrath and hold his interest by telling him stories about Finsel.
• Unexpected Successor: His father chose him as his heir despite Yun Zhe being one of the youngest Princes, but kept it a secret to be announced only after his death.

Yun Guo

The Princess of Cheng and Yun Zhe's older half-sister.

• Rebellious Princess: Sneaks out of the palace to visit the market in the city, gripes when court officials prevent her from riding out to hunt, and is clearly fed up with most things about life within the palace.

• Tsundere: In the classic style, she's short-tempered and quick to contradict herself, taking a combative attitude most of the time but softening towards Magda-as-Consort-Chu if Magda takes the time to get to know her.

Zhao Lang

The devious Prime Minister of Cheng.

• Appropriated Appellation: He's known as "the Serpent" for his deviousness and feared by much of the court, but doesn't seem to mind and embraces the moniker. He explains to Magda that someone has to be able to do what he does, and he's good at it, so he might as well enjoy his work.
• The Chessmaster: As Prime Minister, he does a lot of political wrangling and manipulation behind the scenes in the name of benefiting the Empire.

Zhou Heqi

The Grand Mentor favoured by the late Emperor and entrusted with the education of Yun Zhe.

• The Good Chancellor: Has the people's wellbeing at heart, leading him to go behind Yun Zhe's back to aid flood victims while Yun Zhe remains undecided. It doesn't end well for him.

• Red Baron: He's known as the "Thousand-Paged Book" for the breadth of his knowledge.

An Hu

The young head of the Imperial guards.

• The Ace: His battlefield skills are unmatched; at the beginning of the story, he's being honoured for taking the initiative to quell a rebellion, and he's noted to be an expert with sword and bow.
• Death Faked for You: His good ending has him saving Magda from her burning palace and giving her the option of letting her death be announced and eloping with him to the country border where he's been permanently assigned.
• The Lady's Favor: Magda lends him a handkerchief to wipe his face, and he's later revealed to have been carrying it with him as a keepsake in the spirit of this trope.
• No Social Skills: For all his martial talents, the poor guy is hopelessly awkward when it comes to interacting with people. Magda and Ba Qi both remark several times on how inept he is—usually because he's blurted out what's on his mind and run off before Magda can respond.
• Samurai Ponytail: His hair is pulled back into an action-ready high ponytail denoting his status as a soldier, in contrast to the more free-flowing styles worn by the other major male characters.
• Tall Poppy Syndrome: His accomplishments are met by hostility from those around him, either out of the assumption that he's chasing personal glory or simply out of envy at the recognition he receives. All he really wants is to help people, but the backlash causes him to doubt himself, and much of his favour storyline involves Magda persuading him to act on his principles without worrying so much about what other people think.
• You Must Be Cold: He chases after Magda to lend her his cloak because he heard that she'd been sick recently.

Asaro

A flirtatious envoy and prince from Bello.

• The Charmer: In the same vein as Juven, to the point where Magda rarely rises to his flirtations because she's heard it all before.

Consort Ju

A high ranking harem member and the daughter of the Grand Secretary.

• Alpha Bitch: She's one of the most prominent consorts and constantly aggressive towards all of the other ladies, including Consort Chu. Her profile states outright that it's impossible to be anything but enemies with her.
• Dancing Royalty: Her main appeal lies in her beautiful dance performances.
• Lady in Red: She dresses all in red, highlighting her status as the Alpha Bitch of the Imperial harem.

Consort Liu

A high ranking harem member and the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Compared to Consort Ju, she seems gentle and caring, but she's no less motivated to undermine the other consorts in their competition for the Emperor's favour—she's just much subtler and more manipulative about it, and on several occasions makes apparently kind gestures that are actually setting Magda up for trouble. Like Consort Ju, her profile makes it clear that Magda can't actually make friends with her.

Ba Qi

Consort Chu's outspoken little maidservant.

• Childhood Friends: With her mistress Chu Wanti, whose body Magda inhabits while using the Box.
• Driven to Suicide: Her fate in any ending where Chu Wanti dies.
• Girlish Pigtails: Her hair is styled into twin buns decorated with bells, indicating her youth.
• Undying Loyalty: To Chu Wanti, accompanying her wherever she goes and following her out of the palace to a less luxurious life if the player chooses such a route.
• You Talk Too Much!: Magda often tells her this, as Ba Qi tends to repeat gossip, complain about the other consorts' mistreatment of Magda, and generally speak her mind no matter how high-ranking the listener or how detrimental it would be to her mistress.
