You
You (Default name: Yuki)
In reality, the protagonist is a normal human being who ended up in a coma following a traffic accident. The whole world as they see it is a simulation designed to help them survive the coma, and their obsession with magical girls led to the simulation being perceived this way.
- Determinator: No matter how bleak the situation is, the player never gives up training in the school. Which is a problem to 54T0M1, who needs them to let go to wake up in the real world.
- An Ice Person: When the protagonist stops a glass from spilling, the water that was about to be spilled literally freezes into solid, crystal ice.
- If It's You, It's Okay: When Shin confesses to you, he asks whether you'd make an exception for him when you are otherwise attracted to only girls. Sadly, you never get the chance to answer back.
- Last-Minute Hookup: While the protagonist has been entertaining their interest in Satomi, the only romantic development that happens between them is at the final scene of the game should the player choose the mystery ending.
- Madness Mantra: Shortly after a named character's death, the protagonist's inner monologue fixates on them for at least two in-game days. "Miss Yoshida is still crucified on the wall." "Shin died." "Disappointed."
- Magical Girl: Subverted, Gender Flipped or otherwise. In the end, although you could use magic to an extent, you never develop the ability to transform.
- Sanity Slippage: It's not unusual to be shaken up after witnessing a death. But after the next few deaths, the protagonist's perception also distorts as they perceive surrounding dialogue to be as fixated as they are. When the rest of the main cast gets killed off one by one, the protagonist really loses their sanity as their inner monologue turns into sentence fragments for days on end.
- The One Guy: If you choose to play as a boy, you'll be the only male student in the entire school, let alone within your social circle.
- Time Stands Still: The player's only show of magic involves stopping a glass from spilling over.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Gives a tour of the school to Noriko, not knowing she is part of the Cult of 9 trying to reap magical girls. However, that turns moot when 54T0M1 reveals herself to be pulling the strings.
- Winds of Destiny, Change!: If your Magic grade is high enough, you are more likely to win an arcade prize.

- Like Brother and Sister: Her relation to the player is comparable to that of siblings.

Yui Akiyama
- Casting a Shadow: Her attacks as a magical girl revolve around the power of darkness.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Played for Drama. When she initially found out that her magical girl outfit resembled a devil, she hid it, believing that other students would see her in a negative light. When Hikari happened to see her outfit, she thought Yui could be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who is pulling behind the strings.

- Extreme Doormat: She was raised to give into people, though through dates with the player, she eventually gets over it.

- Nightmare Fetishist: Likes to watch nightly horror films.
- Precision F-Strike: During the 30% date, she swears at an annoying store clerk for overwhelming her with clothing options when she only wants to buy shoes. She's embarrassed by it, but the player's glad that she stood up for herself for the first time.

- Together in Death: Her late boyfriend tried to invoke this by poison when he got too stressed by the exams. However, by that time, Yui was no longer suicidal, but he forced the poison on her. Yui survived as she didn't intake enough of it and her parents managed to cure her in time.
- Unfortunate Character Design: A harsh In-Universe example. Yui's magical girl outfit is designed after a demon, but since it's established earlier that the outfit is a manifestation of the wearer's soul, it doesn't reflect well on her. Not helping the case is that she might've been involved in a recent demon summoning and murder within the school ground.

- Dominatrix: Her 80% date reveals that she developed into one after witnessing a cat toying with a mouse before finishing it off.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Does not like to be pitied, which is frustrating to her as she finds it hard to put it into words without sounding pitiful.
- Insult Backfire: During the 10% date, an otaku pesters her into modeling for him, leading her to reject him in the most insulting way possible. However, as he is into tsundere, he ends up pestering her more.
- Little Bit Beastly: Part of her cat traits in her magical outfit include car ears and a tail.
- Mistaken for Murderer: Played With. Initially, the second murder has her name painted on the wall, causing other students to think that Kaori killed the victim. But even when her name is cleared, they still think she's responsible for her death, specifically, that she drove the girl to suicide.
- Older Than She Looks: Is really your senior despite looking like a young girl.

Rei Shimizu
- Big Eater: Likes eating a lot.
- Boyish Short Hair: She's a tomboy who has her dark hair cut short.
- Does Not Like Men: Downplayed that she does not show this trait to you as the male player, but she confesses that she has a distrust in men ever since she realized that her family friend had been poisoning her in secret.
- Happily Failed Suicide: Admits in her confession route that the first time the player met her, she was about to jump as she couldn't handle her predator any more. However, the player's presence interrupted her suicide and eventually helped her get over it, and she's happy that she got to meet them.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Pushes her aunt Yoshida into inquiring the Cult of 9 due to her past connection. This in turn exposes Yoshida to the cult and gets her killed.

Other Characters
Shin Tanaka
He is based on a boy of the same name in the real world who was, at the time, reported missing. The news was broadcasted on television while the player was in a coma. Hearing his name over and over subconsciously projected this character into their dream. His death coincides with the news of his dead body being discovered.
- Killed Offscreen: After spending a few days thinking about it, you find out that he had been dead soon after you left thinking about his confession. The reason his body was never seen was due to the protagonist's subconsciousness realizing that he's dead but never understanding why.
- Too Desperate to Be Picky: Admits to not liking his job, but finds it better than not earning any cash.
Noriko Ito
- Little Red Fighting Hood: She is a surprisingly competent fighter rivaling Satomi, leading the Cult of Nine while cloaking herself with a red hood.

- In the Back: Before she could explain to the player, Satomi swoops behind her and stabs her in the back, killing her.
Hoshi
He is based on a dog provided by the hospital for comfort. It left when the TV is left on, projecting Hoshi's such dislike.

- Talking Animal: Starts speaking once the player brings it to their house, much to their surprise.
- You Didn't Ask: Due to his telepathic link to Hikari, he already knew that she killed Shin. But when the player found out too late and asked Hoshi about it, he gave this excuse.
