Cayna
Cayna
Voiced by: Eri Yukimura (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)
Originally the 17-year-old daughter from a wealthy Japanese family, Keina was rendered a permanent hospital patient on life support for several years by a terrible accident in which her parents were killed. When her life support fails in the midst of a game session, Keina dies, but her mind is uploaded into the world of Leadale as her RPG avatar Cayna, a powerful Black Kingdom high elf mage (in-game level 1,100).
- Absurdly High Level Cap: In Leadale, there is a Level Cap of 1000. However, a special event allowed Cayna to raise her to 1100. She and other players who achieved this earned the nickname "Limit Breakers".
- Adaptational Curves: Strangely enough, the anime version of Cayna is given a rather noticeably large chest size whereas her original light novel counterpart is more modestly average in size.
- Adoptive Peer Parent: Lampshaded constantly when it comes to her adopted children where she looks like she could be their little sister instead. It's taken further with her third child, Kartatz specifically because, being a dwarf rather than a high elf, he physically looks like an old man. Then it later turns out she's already at least a great-grandmother through Mai-Mai's lineage.
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: She is very fond to give these to those who she likes.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: To Kartatz, her adopted dwarven son. Being the only one about Cayna's size, and her favorite child (in that he's the only one who knows how to behave around her), she enjoys patting him on the head like she would a child. The thing is he's the oldest-looking of the children due to his faster aging, and a well-respected engineer, Cayna will pat his head in front of his employees or complete strangers.
- Berserk Button: Bring up "The Silver Ring Witch" will get you threatened with her Arcane Staff.
- Beware the Nice Ones: As pleasant and kind as Cayna is, she's also got a shocking dark side when she's pissed off. After Mai-Mai shocks her with a surprise meeting with her grandchildren, Caerick and Caerina, Cayna processes the embarrassment and surprise and then asks her grandson to telepathically ask his mother which of the many horrific and lethal torture methods she would want out of a long list. That's not even going into how she deals with the PK Player she finds running a group of bandits, even after finding out he was a child in their world.
- Big Eater: Anytime Cayna sits down for a meal, expect several towers of stacked bowls when she's full.
- Can't Hold Her Liquor: Despite her absurdly high level and having poison resistance passives, Cayna is infamously unable to handle almost any type of alcohol. A mug of some common beer or beer equivalent is enough to knock her out almost instantly and leave her with a horrific hangover the next day, much to her chagrin. In the manga, it is revealed she turns off her Auto Detox when drinking because she actually wants to get drunk, but still hates the hangover.
- Cute and Psycho: She is usually a kind, helpful and friendly woman who is good with kids and is quite attractive as well. However, when she is annoyed, she goes into her Dissonant Serenity Tranquil Fury mode complete with a dark Battle Aura and a variety of different Psychotic Smirks and Un-Smiles to choose from. While one Death Glare is usually enough to make her point, she is also fond of Disproportionate Retribution and even goes into a full-blown Evil Laugh from time to time.
- Didn't Think This Through: She has a bad habit of doing things well outside the social norms. Such as summoning powerful beasts for mundane tasks that terrify the people around her.
- The Dreaded: Her family still honestly loves her, but they are also incredibly terrified of ever making her mad. As they know she is strong enough to destroy a city with a single spell. More pertinently they know that their mother is the dreaded Silver Ring Witch. It is not that they are afraid that Cayna could destroy a city so much as they do not want to provoke their mother into destroying another city because Cayna has done so in the past.
- Embarrassing Nickname: "The Silver Ring Witch", even after 200 years that name is still infamous in Leadale, which causes Cayna to Head Desk in embarrassment. Knowing MMO players, they probably perpetuated the nickname just because they knew it annoyed her.
- Every 10,000 Points: The game rewards you with special summoning bells for every 10,000 hours you play. The bells allow you to summon a very powerful servant such as a cat butler or a maid. Cayna has two bells due to playing the game for at least 20,000 hours (more than 2 years in total).
- Fairy Companion: Gets one after reviving the Tower Guardian of her friend Opus.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: An unusual case for Cayna. She's been an avid player of Leadale since she got into it, so she knows quite a lot about the game. While this does help her some, winding up in Leadale 200 years after her last log-in and the world has changed drastically since means she has a lot of catching up to do. For example, she hadn't realized that the game's original 7 kingdoms have warred and unified into much more manageable 3 states, and that the value of money has drastically deflated, where what she thought was a decent chunk of money for several days at an inn is now a fortune that you shouldn't be waving around carelessly.
- Friend to All Children: Zigzagged. Cayna gets along well with children, befriending both Lytt and Primo and becoming an older sister figure to them. On the other hand, Cayna was prepared to use possibly lethal force against the player who was leader of the bandits even after realizing he was a child in the real world due to him killing Leadale natives for the sake of leveling up.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: A bit downplayed but it really doesn't take much to tick her off and her own family isn't immune to her wrath. This to the point where Mai-Mai is worried about angering her thinking she might just destroy the city in her rage.
- Handicapped Badass: Before transferring to Leadale, she was the third of only thirteen players to have become a Skill Master, raised her level to 1100, and was a highly skilled PVP player all while confined to a hospital bed.
- Have a Gay Old Time: While showing off her control over her summoned White Dragon to Lonti and Myleene, Cayna tells it to "Beg" (Chinchin in Japanese). The thing is, Chinchin is also Japanese slang for a certain part of the male anatomy so when it rears up, both Lonti and Myleene wind up with an eyeful.
- Head Desk: This is Cayna's reaction when the innkeeper unknowingly tells her that her old moniker of "The Silver Ring Witch" is still known even after 200 years have passed.
- Hikikomori: Gets mistaken for this by her former Guild member, Tartar Sauce, and a Gender Bender player when showing off her Every 10,000 Points bells. Justified due to her life-threatening injuries in RL though.
- I Hate Past Me: Cayna hates being called "The Silver Ring Witch", which is a reminder of her days in Leadale when she was in full competitive mode. Somehow, the title prevailed after 200 years have passed in Leadale.
- Legend Fades to Myth: To the residents of modern-day Leadale, the Silver Ring Witch once annihilated a city (true) to the point where it was abandoned henceforth (false, the developers rebuilt the city). Today, the Lost Capitol is kept hidden under a protective dome presumably due to something the Silver Ring Witch did. (False, Keina who was Cayna's player, was dead by that time and so had nothing to do with it.)
- Master of All: Cayna has the unique distinction of being the 3rd of 13 Skill Masters, players who have acquired every last skill possible in the original Leadale. (This is no mean feat, considering that skipping or missing out on a single quest for faster, more-speedrun friendly strategies will mean you lose your chance, not to mention the extreme amounts of time and know-how needed to figure out what you're doing.) By the time of the series, it gives her a skill for pretty much any given situation, such as healing a critically injured person who's also been lethally poisoned, chase after targets through streets, rooftops, and on water, and other useful utilities like her summon skills, speed spells, and teleportation skill..
- No Kill like Overkill: Cayna is frequently guilty of using FAR more force than is necessary for any situation. One of her more infamous examples is when she sees a bandit mage who leads a band occupying a forest checkpoint. After it fires a paltry (to Cayna) fireball at her, she responds with an ice arrow so powerful it freezes the surrounding area, kills the guy instantly on impact, and then shatters his corpse from the leftover momentum. Poor bastard's last words were that the spell she used was what fairy tale heroes fire at the Demon King at the end of the story.
- Older Than They Look: Zigzagged. With Cayna being a High Elf, her youthful appearance despite apparently having been around for a long time is not unexpected. What throws people for a loop is that she's the mother of three of Leadale's most influential figures yet looks like she could be their younger sister at best.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: A miscommunication by the game admins meant that an update went live just before one of their regularly scheduled PVP "Kingdom Wars" events. This enabled destructible environments for the first time. Cayna, unaware of this, used her regular Person of Mass Destruction spells within a faction capital city. She was largely responsible for the devastation that rendered the entire city into rubble. This event cemented Cayna's reputation as the Silver Ring Witch. Even today, the legend of the Silver Ring Witch persists much to Cayna's embarrassment
- One-Man Army: She killed an Event Boss, which was described to need at least 300 Players at level 200, with a few spells.
- Parental Neglect: She's at best disinterested in her three eldest kids and is almost outright hostile to Skargo. This is justified because to her they were NPCs she created using microtransactions as a means to generate in-game money. She never saw them as her children and in fact was confused when its first brought up that she has children. She's much more maternal to Luka, whom she outright adopted with the intention to raise as her child.
- Person of Mass Destruction: Even ignoring her status as a Skill Master, Cayna is this by virtue of being a higher-than-max level player in a world now populated by people who were formerly only NPC's and she repeatedly shows great difficulty scaling her powers down to match those around her. Her family is acutely aware of just how dangerous she can be, and are justifiably worried that she might decimate an entire country on a whim (seeing as she used to do this all the time 200 years ago, in PVP "wars" with other players).
- Red Baron: During her competitive years, Cayna earned herself the nickname "The Silver Ring Witch" among the Leadale community due to a flying machine she often used. Somehow, this title persisted 200 years later where she's become The Dreaded and local ghost story in the village she's staying at—much to Cayna's annoyance.
- Running Gag: Anytime she is invited to a party, she promises she will not drink alcohol. Gilligan Cut to her waking up with a hangover and promising to never drink again.
- Ship Tease: Played for Laughs with Shining Saber. He places Cayna on his lap and she turns red while trying to say something, leading to an embarrassing revelation of what he's doing.
- Silver Vixen: In terms of chronological age rather than looks. She has two adult grandchildren, and one of them had already fathered her an adult great-grandson, yet still looks like an attractive girl in her late teens.
- Supreme Chef: Being a Skill Master means she has mastered all of the skills, including the cooking ones. Her cooking caused the soldiers she was traveling with to weep Tears of Joy and beg her to stay with them the entire trip.
- This Is Reality: Cayna has to remind herself that this world is no longer a game and she is killing living people, even if they were bandits. When confronting the bandit leader player who failed to realize this, Cayne was so enraged she was prepared to use lethal force on him.
- Walk on Water: One of Cayna's more useful skills when traveling is the skill that allows her to walk or run on water as if it was land. It is a skill that she can expand to allow a caravan to cross at the same time. The skill does not offer protection from any monsters that attack underwater.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Based on her reaction to the 6th Tower's guardian, Cayna has a fear of frogs.
- Would Harm a Child: A more ambiguous example. It's not clear if she intended to kill the bandit leader or just thrash him but either way, even after finding out he was another player like her, Cayna clearly intended to put some pain on him for treating their situation as a game instead of reality with consequences.
Cayna's Allies and Summons
Kee
Voiced by: Yui Otagiri (Japanese), Laura Post (English)
An AI support unit created by Keina's uncle to assist her after she was permanently paralyzed. After her rebirth in Leadale, Cayna is still able to access it (consequently, only she can perceive and interact with Key, although later Opus is later found to have that ability as well), and it serves as her advisor and protector.
- Benevolent A.I.: Comes hand in hand with being specifically designed by Cayna's uncle to be an assistant to his now paralyzed niece. She ends up taking on more duties helping Cayna in Leadale, both in the game and when it becomes her reality.
- Captain Obvious: Will sometimes state the blatantly obvious to Cayna, like that she has a hangover or that her companions are scared of her summon.
- Deadpan Snarker: Constantly voices her doubt regarding Cayna's repeated failed attempts to never drink booze again.
- Fairy Companion: Kee is a little fairy taking the form of a ball of light that acted as an automated system manager for Cayna, such as updating her on new information and managing things when she went AFK. She still does her original jobs after the game became Cayna's true reality, but she later also develops a personality and gains a humanoid appearance.
Cerberwoof, the Cerberus
Cayna's three-headed demonic hellhound. Though a vicious, dangerous monster to everyone who dares try to harm or get in the way of his master, he's a sweet, loyal, if uncoordinated dog to Cayna.
- Adaptation Deviation: Cerberus's three personalities and how frequently dysfunctional and silly every head but the middle one is is original to the anime.
- Big Friendly Dog: To Cayna or whomever she assigns him to guard. To potential threats and enemies however...
- Canis Major: He's the size of a small house and definitely has the strength and viciousness to be a major threat.
- Fluffy the Terrible: Cayna named her Cerberus summon "Cerberwoof". Though all three of his heads are perfectly friendly and loyal to Cayna, as any properly trained dog would be, they can easily pose a lethal threat to anyone that tries to harm her or get in the way of their assigned tasks.
- Multiple Head Case: In the anime, Cerberwoof has three heads and three separate personalities. Facing the audience, the left head has its Eyes Always Shut and looks either asleep or just in a constant state of zen, the middle head is always alert and the most serious of the group, reprimanding the other heads as necessary, and the right head is easily-distracted, constantly drooling, and playful, oftentimes misinterpreting commands or accidentally getting in the way of Cayna's plans.
- Shout-Out: A three-headed monster in which the center head is serious while the left one is dope? I wonder where I've seen that before...
Li'l P/P-chan
Cayna's baby Crimson Pig.
- Cute Giant: An adorable piglet the size of a small house, and can grow up to 25 meters in adulthood.
- Horse of a Different Color: Cayna rides her Li'l P like you would a horse while also using him as a draft animal. What makes Li'l P especially notable is that he's the size of a house or perhaps more accurately, a moving van, and could still grow up to 25 meters by adulthood.
Li'l Fairy
Li'l Fairy is a fairy left behind by Opus for Cayna in his Guardian Tower.
- Copycat Mockery: To consider it mockery is unlikely for now, she does copy Cayna's actions and expressions in the anime.
- Cute Mute: She can't speak a single word. Instead, she elects to use her body language and facial expression to communicate with Cayna. This comes across as very moe.
- Invisible to Normals: Invisible to non-player characters. However, she can be seen by player characters.
Roxillius and Roxine
Roxillius (Rox) and Roxine (Cie)
Roxillius voiced by: Nanako Mori (Japanese), Jacob Hopkins (English)
Roxine voiced by: Hisako Tōjō (Japanese), Amber Lee Connors (English)
Two Little Bit Beastly servants, resulting from items given to players for 10,000 hours on Leadale. As Cayna was bedridden and online all the time, she has two summoning bells. Roxillius is a black haired Catboy Butler, while Roxine is a redheaded Dog Girl Maid.
- Blue Oni, Red Oni: Rox is the blue to Cie's Red.
- Every 10,000 Points: They are summoned by a special bell Players are only able to get if they have played 10,000 hours each.
- Fiery Redhead: Cie's reheaded. More boisterous than Rox.
- Little Bit Beastly: Rox has cat ears and a tail whereas Cie has dog ears and a tail.
- Pun: Rox is a catboy and Cie is a dog girl, and they "fight like cats and dogs".
Cayna's Family
1st Generation
Cayna's children directly adopted by her. Skargo
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono (Japanese), Chris Niosi (English)
Cayna's first adopted child and eldest son. To the public, he is the "Great Sage" and the capital city's High Priest, famous for guiding the world through the 200 years of turmoil following the end of the original Leadale's service and into the mostly peaceful state it has now. To Cayna and his siblings, he is the biggest Momma's Boy in all of Leadale, oftentimes driven to madness and ridiculous antics because of his extreme affection for his adoptive mother.
- Bishie Sparkles: As an astoundingly flamboyant, theatrical, and handsome male elf, Skargo constantly has a backdrop of sparkling flowers behind him. He even cries pearls instead of tears. Humorously, this isn't a comic effect on the part of the story—the flowers are visible to everyone and it's later explained that Skargo is just constantly casting an illusion spell simply for the aesthetic.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: A Momma's Boy to the highest degree, but he was almost solely responsible for bringing the kingdoms together during 200 years of turmoil to the current state of peace and is seen as the Great Sage to the people of the kingdom.
- Large Ham: He never does anything by halves and is easily the most passionate and emotional of Cayna's offspring.
- Momma's Boy: Skargo, natch. Of the three of Cayna's children, he's the most vocal in his devotion and love for her, much to her embarrassment and chagrin.
- Smarter Than You Look: Because the audience usually only sees his Momma's Boy moments that suddenly drop his IQ, it's easy to forget he is one of the smartest people in the kingdom. He quickly pointed out to Mai-Mai why it would be a bad idea to attack the Event Monster because it would direct its attack towards the castle behind them.
- The Unfavorite: He's by far of the three children the one Cayna's most critical - one might say hostile - to. Partially because of how obsessed he is with her.Cayna: Think of him as your pathetic weird older brother that holds a high-ranking job but is only remembered for producing his own special effects
Luka: 'Kay...
Skargo: Mother Dearest! You didn't have to say it this way.
Cayna: You deserve every word of it. - There Was a Door: When Skargo catches wind that Cayna might be ill and cooped up in her room at an inn, from his office to Cayna's room, Skargo runs straight through a nearly floor-to-ceiling portrait of himself and the wall it's mounted on, crashes through the front door of the inn, and finally through the door of Cayna's room as well, leaving Impact Silhouettes as he goes.
Mai-Mai
Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka (Japanese), Veronica Taylor (English)
Cayna's second adopted child and eldest daughter, a high elf. She runs the Adventurer's Academy. She is less flamboyant and more level-headed than her older brother, but much as she tries to hide it, Mai-Mai shares a lot of his Momma's Boy tendencies and has complete blindness to what may cause her mother anger. She's married to a human professor and has two kids.
- Absurdly Youthful Mother: Much like her mother, Mai-Mai is this with her own descendants.
- Big Brother Worship: Inverted. Mai-Mai absolutely adores her new adoptive, younger sister Luka.
- Crazy-Prepared: Probably because Mai-Mai is the Principal of an Adventurer's Academy and Adventurers take on almost any job imaginable, she's remarkably ready with staff, items, and plans for most any situation. For example, when she hears that Cayna is mysteriously cooped up in her room at the inn and possibly sick, Mai-Mai realizes that Skargo will immediately rush to Cayna and anger her so she tries to get there first. When she fails to arrive on time and Skargo ends up punched into the ceiling, Mai-Mai merely needs to snap her fingers before a group of four hooded men come in prepared with a ladder (to get Skargo out of the ceiling) and a coffin (to discreetly transport him back to the temple with no one the wiser).
- Immortal Immaturity: Despite being 300 years old and seen as a stern Principal to the Adventurer's Academy, in front of her loved ones she is a childish airhead.
- Interspecies Romance:
- With Lopus, who's a human professor in the Adventurer's Academy.
- Averted with her First Love, Sakai, who's also an elf.
- Happily Married: Mai-Mai is happily married to a human named Lopus. It should be noted he's her 2nd husband, and she had elven children with another man about some 100 years ago, as her twins are around that age.
- Momma's Boy: Gender inverted, Despite her regal demeanor when acting as the head of the school, Mai-Mai tends to be extremely childish and affectionate when around her mother, though later we see this tends to apply toward all of her loved ones.
- Mayfly–December Romance: The High Elf, Mai-Mai, is over 200 years old but is happily married to a middle-aged human male, Lopus Harvey, who's around the ballpark of 30-40 years old. It should be noted that Harvey is her 2nd husband.
Kartatz
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese), Keith Silverstein (English)
Cayna's third adopted child and second son. Being a Dwarf, Kartatz physically looks like the oldest of the trio. He's a famous engineer and shipwright. He's the most levelheaded of the children, almost never angering Cayna - in fact she's prone to making him lash out as she likes to treat him as a child.
- Affection-Hating Kid: An older version, but every time Cayna head pats him in public he flusters and tells her to stop.
- I Need to Go Iron My Dog: Kartatz seems to know exactly when he needs to leave a room to avoid the chaos that's about to happen.
- Momma's Boy: While he is a lot better at behaving himself around his mother unlike his older brother and sister, Kartatz still shows just as much love and affection for her as his siblings.
- Only Sane Man: Among Cayna's family, Kartatz is the most level-headed and mature of her three children.
- Our Dwarves Are All the Same: With Kartatz as the representative, evidently, Leadale found no good reason to reinvent the wheel. He's a craftsman, he's short, he's stocky, he's got an impressive beard, he's grumpy, and he favors an ax in combat. On the other hand, he lacks the usual Dwarven antagonism towards Elves popularized by Tolkien and gets along well with his foster siblings and mother.
- Parental Favoritism: Kartatz is the only one of her three children to who Cayna is openly affectionate on a regular basis and never seems to get mad at him, even when he gets annoyed at her.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As the sensible one of Cayna's children, Kartarz does this constantly as he is the one who can figure out when the antics of his siblings have crossed a line. For example, he lead his mother to his brother's office while Skargo and Mai-Mai were duking it out with spells. Kartarz immediately exited stage left since he knew that Cayna would almost certainly punish his rambunctious siblings.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Even though Kartatz is at his wits end dealing with Skargo's personality, when Cayna suggested just changing his personality, Kartatz flips his lid at her and defends Skargo by pointing out she is overlooking all of the good he has done for the Kingdom. She admits he is right.
- Younger Than They Look: Played with. Chronologically he's the youngest of Cayna's original three children but as Dwarves age faster than Elves, he looks like a middle-aged man while Skargo and Mai-Mai still look like they're in their 20's while Cayna, despite being his mother, looks young enough to be his daughter.
Luka
Voiced by: Kanon Takao (Japanese), Lizzie Freeman (English)
Cayna's fourth adopted child and second daughter. She's the Sole Survivor of a fishing village engulfed by fog that turned the villagers into zombies.
- Absurdly Youthful Mother: Absurdly Youthful Aunt in Luka's case. She's a young girl compared to Cayna's first three children (who are all adults), thus making her Caerick and Caerina's adoptive aunt and Idzik's adoptive great-aunt.
- Ambiguous Situation: It was hinted she was able to see Kee at one point.
- The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest of Cayna's adoptive children.
- The Cutie: She can be absolutely adorable at times.
- Happily Adopted: Is this with Cayna and her three other children.
- Practically Different Generations: Exaggerated and justified in Luka's case as she's a young girl who's recently adopted by Cayna, making her the youngest sibling to Cayna's original three, with each of them being over many centuries in age.
- The Quiet One: She rarely talks as a result of her trauma.
- Shrinking Violet: As a result of the trauma she went through, she is very shy and hardly ever says anything unless spoken to first.
- Token Human: She's the only one of Cayna's children to be a human, not counting Lopus who's a son-in-law.
2nd Generation
The children of Cayna's 1st generation adoptees. Caerick and Caerina
Caerick voiced by: Tomoya Takagi (Japanese), Landon McDonald (English)
Caerina voiced by: Azusa Tadokoro (Japanese), Erin Yvette (English)
Mai-Mai's fraternal twins with her 1st husband, and Cayna's grandchildren. Caerick is an extremely powerful and popular merchant, credited as the "Father" of the present Merchant's Guild, while Caerina is a famous knight captain.
- Innocently Insensitive: Caerick starts off on Cayna's bad side by insulting small inns when he wanted to treat her to the best hotel.
- Magic Knight: Caerina is primarily a swordsman but can harness the power of magic with her slashes.
- Shared Family Quirks: Following an awkward first meeting, Cayna and Caerick quickly find that they share quite the ruthless streak, having an Evil Laugh together as they plot to let her take care of a local bandit problem.
- Twin Theme Naming: The two share everything but the last syllable of their names.
3rd Generation
The children of Cayna's 2nd generation. Idzik
Voiced by: Taku Yashiro (Japanese)
Caerick's son, who's also a merchant like his father.
- Like Father, Unlike Son: He's a bit more reasonable than his eccentric father.
The Kingdom of Felskeilo
The Royal Castle
"Primo"/"Densuke"
Voiced by: Mutsumi Tamura (Japanese), Sarah Anne Williams (English)
The pre-adolescent royal prince of Felskeilo who is annoyed with his life in the royal palace and keeps running away to play with his friends in the capital's streets. After Cayna helps retrieving him shortly after arriving in the city, he becomes determined to find out her true nature, suspecting that she has something sinister in mind.
- Babysitter's Nightmare: Primo note , tired of his confined life at the royal palace, constantly escapes the royal guards at the castle and his bodyguards with shocking regularity, able to evade them for hours at a time. It doesn't help that he's often caught in dangerous or life-threatening situations, like trying to rescue a cat stuck on a laundry line on the second floor and almost crashing to the pavement.
- Badass Normal: Despite being a young kid and having no apparent martial arts skills to his name, Primo shows an astounding, impressive aptitude for stealth, athletics, and wit, being constantly able to give his bodyguards and the city guards the slip, hiding from their search attempts for hours at a time, and being able to climb, run, and row a boat at incredible speeds that would give endurance events athletes a run for their money. It's only because of how severely overleveled and much more experienced Cayna is that Primo can't outrun her and eventually exhausts himself.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Cayna constantly refers to the prince as "Primo" due to Lonti catching herself calling him Prince out in public.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Primo does not particularly care about the luxuries of being a prince, just annoyed and angry at all the restrictions. Most of his sneaking out and avoiding his bodyguards are to try and live the life of a normal boy.
- King Incognito: Primo acts like a typical bratty kid, but is actually the prince of the kingdom.
- Precocious Crush: Despite Primo treating Lonti as a Badly Battered Babysitter, Cayna figures out he actually has a crush on her. He even has dreams where she's the aggressive one.
Agaido
Voiced by: Tomomichi Nishimura (Japanese), Mick Lauer (English)
An older knight who serves as one of Primo's bodyguards. Easygoing, playful, and more than a little willing to get into mischief.
- King Incognito: With his full suit of armor and being one of the Prince's bodyguards, you'd think he's just a high-ranking knight or knight-officer for the kingdom. That he can meet with Skargo in his office just like that hints at his being the Prime Minister of the country.
- Foil: To Lonti, when acting as Primo's bodyguards. As an old, experienced veteran who's been around the block, Agaido never seems too nervous or troubled about his charge being missing and getting up to trouble. In fact, when Cayna forces Primo into a chase on the river, Agaido even bets with the rubberneckers that Primo would lose.
Shining Saber
Voiced by: Makoto Yasumura (Japanese), Adin Rudd (English)
The Dragonoid Captain of the Kingdom's Knights. He is also a former Player.
- Draconic Humanoid: As a member of the Dragonoid race. His scale color and overall color scheme are white and silver.
- Knight in Shining Armor: As befitting a medieval fantasy Knight-Captain, he's incredibly polite and well-mannered. This is likely his intention with the name and the character, Enforced by his serving a rich kingdom that doesn't hesitate to deck its best soldiers out in some fancy, shiny full-plate armor.
- Mistaken for Romance: Is teased by his subordinates for being in a relationship with Cayna after carrying her in his arms.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: After carrying a bright red Cayna on his horse, everyone of his soldiers teases that Cayna is his girlfriend, no matter how clearly he denies it.
- Romancing the Widow: Played With. Thanks to his putting Cayna in a bridal carry and their acting so familiar with each other, Shining Saber's troops mistake them to be in a romantic relationship. By that point everyone knows that Cayna is the mother of the Great Sage, Skargo, and two other key figures in Felskeilo, Mai-Mai and Kartatz, so his subordinates express surprise (but not dismay or disapproval) that their beloved captain seems into widows. Much, much older widows.
The Remote Village
A countryside town that Cayna first finds herself in. Her Guardian Tower is nearby and she eventually makes it the location of her permanent new home/base in Leadale. Lytt
Voiced by: Kanako Yanagihara (Japanese), Corina Boettger (English)
Marelle's younger, pre-adolescent daughter. She befriends Cayna and adores her for her magic and her kindness.
- Adorably Precocious Child: Lytt is a cute and small child, but is very eager to help out her mother by performing various housekeeping tasks around the inn.
- Best Friend: She slowly strikes up a good friendship with Cayna's fourth daughter Luka.
- Secret-Keeper: Cayna reveals to Lytt that she is indeed the terrifying Silver Ring Witch. This initially shocks Lytt but she promises to keep it a secret from the other villagers.
The Adventurer's Academy
Staff
Lopus Harvey, Professor of Alchemy
Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Chris Hackney (English)
One of the professors of the school and 2nd husband of the Principal, Mai-Mai.
- Mayfly–December Romance: He's around 30-40 years old and is married to a High Elf who's over 200 years old and will most definitely outlive him. They're still Happily Married all the same.
- Second Love: He's Mai-Mai's second husband.

Lonti Arbalest
Voiced by: Natsuko Abe (Japanese), Ryan Bartley (English)
A mage student at the Academy who has the unique distinction of being one of the crown prince's usual bodyguards.
- Badly Battered Babysitter: A mage student at the Adventurer's Academy and one of the escorts of "Primo"/"Densuke", is constantly exhausted and stressed out from her charge's antics, irreverent personality, and constant running away from her.
- Foil: To Agaido, when acting as Primo's bodyguards. She's young and still a student, so when her charge goes missing and gets into trouble she's justifiably extremely nervous and terrified of anything happening to Primo while she's supposed to be watching over him.
- Has a Type: From her reaction to meeting Roxillius, Lonti has a thing for gentlemanly bishonen.
