Normal Denizens

Rimuru Tempest

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Monster City Car)

The King of Monsters and the Demon Lord of the Monster City Car. He is one of the first Denizens Augustine meets on the Train.

Ambiguous Situation: While his humanoid form is the result of him devouring a person as a dying wish like in canon, it's not made clear if the Passenger in question was Shizue or not, as Rimuru doesn't mention the Passenger by name.
All-Powerful Bystander: He's got enough power to cause serious damage to train cars, but he's more than happy to stay put in his original car.
Blob Monster: He's a sentient slime monster, but he's also known as the Demon Lord and the King of Monsters.
Blue Is Heroic: He's a blue slime monster but also a heroic character.
The Chooser of the One: He's the one who chooses Sycamore as his champion on the Train.
Dark Is Not Evil: He might be the Demon Lord that possesses tremendous powers that can rock a single car, but he is nothing more than a good-hearted slime who is willing to help every Denizen and Passenger alike, especially on the latter's journey into the Train.
Demon Lords and Archdevils: He's constantly called, and quite literally is, a demon lord.
Expecting Someone Taller: Augustine initially assumed that the Demon King was Diablo, not a blue slime blob.
The Good King: He is very kind and good-hearted to both his people and Passengers.
Nice Guy: Despite being the Demon Lord, Rimuru is an amicable slime and he's willing to answer Augustine's questions about the Train.
Red Baron: King of Monsters.
Running Gag: Whenever he talks in his slime form, the poor passenger faints from shock.
Shapeshifting: Can switch between his slime form and human form that he obtained after he ate the dying Passenger as her dying wish.
This Is Gonna Suck: When Augustine learns a week into his stay that the Train recently made an Infinet service that he can use to contact his loved ones — due to One-One's instruction videos not having updated with this new piece of information — Rimuru creates a slime body double for Augustine to scream into.

Shion

Rimuru's oni secretary.

The Dreaded: Her cooking is so horrible that after Garchomp recovered, she stays away like the plague. It gets to the point that when White Gestalt enters the Monster City Car, Specter immedaitely insists he's the one cooking dinner before everyone else gets food poisoning.
Lethal Chef: Zigzagged. Her [Chef] ability makes it so that people like it despite looking terrible. Unfortunately, it's not good enough for Pokémon consumption as it was able to knock out Augustine's Garchomp with one bite. Even when Augustine gives her another recipe to try out, it still manages to affect Gladion and Tokio's Pokémon by making them dizzy.
Nice Girl: A cheery and sweet oni who wishes to help out Augustine and White Gestalt.

Hakurou

An oni samurai who becomes the mentor of Augustine, and later the White Gestalt when they return to the train.

Not So Stoic: He has a shocked face when Specter's Rage Breaking Point has passed and he's wailing on the oni with his staff.
Old Master: He's pretty dang old, and he becomes White Gestalt's collective mentor when they return.
Training from Hell: Inflicts this on Augustine and Vaillant and later with White Gestalt (except for London as he's been on the Train longer and is an experienced wrestler)

Lobo

The Chief of a wolf village in the Monster City Car, and Vaillant's father.

Action Dad: He has a son (Vaillant) and daughter, and fights to protect his village from the Rock Golems.
Meaningful Name: Lobo is another word for "Wolf" and he's a silver lycan.

Blacksmith Pratt

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Skilled Crane Car)

A blacksmith in the Toy Brick Car who gives exposition of a previous heroic group prior to the Red Lotus Trio.

The Blacksmith: It's in the name; he makes brick shields but also was willing to make a new sword for Yuri.
Exact Words: Pratt explains to the Windchasers that Gladion had three partners on his trip to stop the Apex. Augustine and Yuri assume this were his Pokémon; Pratt was actually trying to talk about the other members of White Gestalt.
Mister Exposition: He gives hints about Gladion and Specter's arrival on the Infinity Train.
Shout-Out: He's named after Chris Pratt, the voice actor of Emmet Brickowski.
Small Role, Big Impact: It was he who gave Gladion his iconic Toy Brick Shield which spurred the moniker "Knight of the Orange Lily" and he's the one who tells the Windchasers of White Gestalt a chapter prior to London's debut.

Silent Hill Trio

Walter Sullivan, Henry Townsend and Alex Shepherd

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Skilled Crane Car)

Three denizens in the Fog Car who are currently taking care of Alain Sativus and are planning a ritual that would help stop the Apex once and for all.

For more information about their original Blossomverse counterparts, go here.

Adaptation Name Change: Like in the original Blossomverse, Henry goes by "Townsend" instead of "Townshend".
Adaptational Villainy: While this was already highlighted with Henry, protagonist of 4, Alex. protagonist of Homecoming, is much more aggressive than in Blossoming Trail and more than willing to do anything to keep Hop for himself.
Artificial Human: They all look human in appearance, but are actually denizens created by the train.
Berserk Button: Alex almost loses it when he hears Hoppy call him "Lee", but calms down considerably.
Beware the Quiet Ones: Alex is not talkative as Walter and Henry. He's also Pyramid Head who also doesn't do a lot of talking.
Disappointed by the Motive: Walter can't believe that Paul (the trainer) is such an asshole because his brother lost once and gave up being a battler, listing out how many other passengers have suffered worse due to even more traumatizing events and he has no excuse for his frigid heart.
Dissonant Serenity: Walter is always smiling, which was something highlighted by his character designer for the original Silent Hill 4.
The Dreaded: Pyramid Head, just by reputation of who he is in his home series, is this to the heroes. He's practically invincible and relentless and one swing of his Great Knife means the end. Every heroic team wants nothing to him and he's so terrifying that Specter is horrified at the idea that Alex Shepherd might be in league with whoever killed Queen because they had to have known a certain piece of information that he had to confess in the Fog Car. And Specter's fear of this guy is justified, given that Alex was his torturer when he ventured in Silent Hill.
Finger Wag: Walter gives one of these to Augustine during their phone call in the Ninjala Car.
Faux Affably Evil: Absolutely. They can be friendly in conversations and are always smiling and full of good cheer...this does not immediately erase that they're willing to kill a dozen children in a horrific ritual in Silent Hill.
Freudian Slip: Chloe calls out how Alex is joining Walter and Henry to unleash the Flauros since, in his game, he knows how bad sacrifices end up and brings up the death of his brother. Alex shouts how he won't let Hoppy get into the same situation like what happened to him and Josh...effectively revealing just what happened to Hop.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: The fact that Alex Shepherd can turn into Pyramid Head wasn't revealed until Act 3 of Blossoming Trail but is revealed casually by London. Justified because London has alredy encountered Pyramid Head in his own Fog Car adventure.
Murder Is the Best Solution: They think that the only way to stop the Apex is to give them what they've done to others: kill them.
Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Henry is Nice, Walter is Mean and Alex fluctuates in the middle.
No Sense of Personal Space: Henry isn't afraid to show affection to Alain with cuddles and headpats but it's done in a creepy way given how Alain is an Empty Shell at this point.
Obviously Evil: It is easy to see at first glance that Walter is not a nice person. Neither are the other two, but Walter is the most notable.
Perpetual Smiler: Walter's trademark is his ever present smile.
Real Men Can Cook: Alex is both a soldier and a chef which Yuri is surprised to hear.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: During the three-way conversation in the Ninjala Car, the trio waste no time lambasting Amelia for all of her mistakes that has caused the train nothing but pain and tragedy and why the Flauros is the last resort to stop the Apex.
Soul Jar: Alex has Alain's soul sealed in his Honor of Kalos medal and it's heavily implied that he's trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine.
A Taste of Their Own Medicine: What the Flauros will do to the Apex. The Apex have brought fear to the denizens and injured, traumatized and killed others, so now the Flauros will have them be like their victims — injured, traumatized and possibly dead if they don't change their ways.
Two Aliases, One Character: In their first meeting, London tries to warn the Windchasers about how there's two sides of Alex. They assume it's that he's a soldier and chef — it's actually that he's Alex and Pyramid Head.
Villain Has a Point: Walter wastes no time pointing out that everthing the Train is suffering through is all Amelia's fault along with how Henry mentioning that most of the denizens' paranoia and distrust have to be done because no one is putting a stop to the Apex's schemes. Thankfully for Amelia, Chloe stands up for her and states she's atoning for her crimes now.
Would Hurt a Child: They're willing to kill at least two dozen children in a ritual if it means ending the Apex once and for all.
You Monster!: Augustine screams this at Walter when it's revealed that one of the Apex kids died in the Fog Car.

Lain (Spoilers)

Lain

"Do I like your [Augustine] boyfriend?"

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Twisted Lab Car)

A denizen in the Twisted Lab Car who looks very similar to Alain.

Alas, Poor Villain: He's working with Shadow Sycamore but he mostly represents Sycamore's fears of Alain being brainwashed and working for evil. He dies trying to stop Sycamore from killing his friends and Augustine is nothing more than grief-stricken for stabbing him.
Anthropomorphic Personification: By his own admission, he represents Sycamore's fears for Alain's well being and of how he is a brainwashed pawn for the Cage of Flauros.
Anti-Villain: At the end of the day he's only a "villain" in the sense that he's working for Shadow Sycamore and anything he did as a villain was because he was brainwashed. All he wants is to be of help and dies while trying to stop Augustine from killing Vaillant and Yuri, happy that Augustine promised to protect him.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Is this to Shadow Sycamore, symbolizing Sycamore's fears of the real Alain being brainwashed both by Lysandre and the dark forces of the Fog Car.
Composite Character: While he's mostly based on Maria, the fact that he steps back in fear of Sycamore when he reaches out to him is also like that of Angela Orosco minus the thought of suicide.
Cool Shades: Is first seen wearing an orange visor.
Death Is Cheap: Gets shot through the head via sniper, but appears scenes later right as rain. Eventually, it becomes a bit too expensive for his wallet and he dies for real.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Ends up in Sycamore's arms before he passes away.
Disappears into Light: How he dies.
Dissonant Serenity: Despite being in a crazy twisted lab, he has a serene smile on his face.
Expy: Of Maria from Silent Hill 2 as he is a representation of the main character's loved one who keeps dying and resurrecting to prove a point. Many of the quotes he says are based off of Maria's (example: "Do I look like you're boyfriend?" and "Professor, did something happen to you? After we got separated in that long hallway?"). Through Word of God, this was intentional as The Twisted Lab Car is a taste to the horrors of what the Fog Car has in store for the Professor.
Everyone Has Standards: He agreed with his master's plans for the test to see if Augustine could confront his inner guilt. He did not agree to Augustine being a brainwashed soldier who would kill his allies.
Go Out with a Smile: Gives Augustine one before he finally dies, happy that Augustine promised to save him.
Heroic Sacrifice: Lets himself get killed by Augustine to help him snap out of his brainwashing and show him a memory of Shadow Sycamore's trauma with his former user.
Invisible to Normals: Kinda; he's only visible to Augustine as a manifestation of the Professor's fears of Alain being in trouble. When Augustine starts stabbing him, everyone else just sees the professor stabbing at thin air before growing mad.
Last Request: As he dies from his stab wounds, Lain wishes that Augustine saves his master and go rescue Alain.
Mood-Swinger: Goes from calm and playful to stoic to relieved to angry and then terrified.
Rule of Symbolism:
- His initial outfit is a red suit, like Team Flare Grunts use which represented Augustine's fear of Alain working with Team Flare. His second outfit is Alain's, to match up in line to what the Professor really wants.
- His name is similar to Alain minus the "A". He's just a lane, or path, for Augustine to confront his guilt and desires to be a better person.
Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears in one arc, but it's a significant arc for both Augustine and Asher's development.
Spanner in the Works: Augustine would've happily killed his allies if he didn't intervene just in time.
Tulpa: He's the incarnation of Sycamore's guilt in regards to Alain working with Lysandre.

Teddie

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (The Twisted Lab Car, debut)

A bear-like denizen who is found in the Twisted Lab Car.—-

Beary Friendly: Just like in his home series, he's a kind and friendly bear.
Mythology Gag: He gives the Windchasers glasses for successfully making it through the Twisted Lab Car, like he gives members of the Investigation Team glasses once they accept their Persona.
Non-Action Guy: He's not a fighter and instead gets Vaillant and Yuri towards wherever Augustine is trapped in.
The Nose Knows: He can sense where Augustine is once he gets a whiff of his mecha.
Off with His Head!: Vaillant accidentally slices his head clean off. Thankfully Teddie reattaches it without problem.

Olmec

"You [[One-One] cannot underestimate hope. On the surface, it can save everyone through its miracles. However, relying too much on them can blind them into a false sense of direction and make them forget that you cannot use hope to justify your actions."

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Flashback in The Twisted Lab Car, Video Call in The Ninjala Car) | The Firefly Funhouse Car

A stone head that is the host of the Hidden Temple Car, who was the one to point the Red Lotus Trio toward the quest to stop the Apex and reveals what happens if you die on the Train.

Adaptational Explanation: The Cloak of Marchosias and Wepwawet in Blossoming Trail was just there when Olmec handed it to Chloe. Seeker of Crocus reveals that it was created by Wepwawet and he asked Olmec to hold to it for safekeeping.
Ambiguous Situation: Is he just a stone head or does he hold a backstory similar to the Legends of the Hidden Temple film (in which he was once a man that was transformed into his famous stone head form)?
Ascended Extra: Was a Small Role, Big Impact character in Blossoming Trail, he is slowly becoming one of these due to his mentioning in The Ninjala Car and the significance of giving Chloe her cloak. At the end of the Ninjala Car, he warns One-One that the Cage of Flauros must not be unleashed and that Sycamore embodying Hope will be important in the days ahead.
Creepy Good: Is a giant talking stone head with glowing red eyes but is one of the most noble denizens on the Train.
Didn't See That Coming: Not even he expected the power that Chloe unleashed with that cloak.
Nice Guy: He honestly didn't have to give Chloe her special cloak and would've been content if she changed her mind, but he did because he's that type of denizen.
Small Role, Big Impact: Only appears in a flashback and cameo, but it's thanks to him that Chloe gets her legendary Cloak of Marchosias and Wepwawet and indirectly brings about the Mirage Pokémon as denizens..
Theme Naming: All of his artifacts are named as "The [Artifact] of [Name of a Historical Figure/Location]". This becomes a plot point in "The Firefly Funhouse Car" — outside of one artifact (The Broken Trident of Poseidon) — none of his artifacts are named after demons or gods. So how did he come in possession of a cloak that is named after two mythological beings?
Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: Throughout Part 3 of the Ninjala Car, many characters question how he has a powerful cloak that combines the powers of an Egyptian God and an Ars Goetia demon. The Cyan Desert Car reveals that said artifact was created by Wepwawet and given for him to safeguard.

Kisaragi

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned, First appearance: The Ninjala Car)

A rabbit denizen who is the current White Rabbit, leader of the 400 Rabbits car, and has ties with the passenger known as Tokio Chisou.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Kinda...in the Blossomverse trilogy, he hates Amelia for everything she did (particularly not giving a damn that the Apex were indirectly her fault) but he did have standards to not kill her due to her status as One-One's assistant. In this story he does follow her request to protect Hazel and Tuba, despite not liking Amelia at all.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Gets to see first hand what happened if Solitaire successfully attacked the Apex. End result? A bloody massacre of children who are unable to defend themselves from the likes of laser scissors, chainsaws and other pointy objects.
Cool Mask: A rabbit mask with a pocketwatch and ruby for eyes.
Everyone Has Standards: For everything he's done, he finds the Cage of Flauros on the Apex, and trapping them in the Fog Car in general, as overkill. Tokio even confirms that Kisaragi would never cross this line.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: This funny bunny's crimes are revealed casually, whereas in Knight of the Orange Lily, they were one of the biggest twists of his true goals.
Mind Rape: Is a victim of the Figure's "mental dive torture" at the end of the Night Garden Car chapter and ends up shattered from the ordeal.
My God, You Are Serious!: He doesn't believe Amelia is serious in wanting him to keep an eye on Hazel and Tuba and asks her to prove it by offering something of herself. He then has this look when she calmly cuts off her braid.
Mythology Gag: He's based on Gentaro Kisaragi from Kamen Rider Fourze. More specifically, his portal sword is based on the weapon for Fourze's Cosmic States.
Obliviously Evil: Does not find the fact that his atrocities^* are just as bad, if not worse, than the Apex's laundry lists of crimes, and gladly brings it up to Amelia (the same woman who is indirectly the reason he's doing this) without a lack of remorse.
Pet the Dog: While he's not happy about it, he decides to protect Hazel and Tuba per Amelia's request, whereas the original Kisaragi would never even humor the idea.
Pragmatic Villainy: While he wants Amelia to die for her atrocities, he knows better than to actually kill her because she's under One-One's protection and the Conductor is someone you do not wish to anger.
Red Baron: The White Rabbit.
Rejected Apology: Refuses to take Amelia's apology over what happened to his best friend Utahoshi. Justified in many caes, since Utahoshi was indirectly killed because of her being the Conductor that the Apex worshipped and she was still in her state of "be with Alrick no matter what the consequences to even care about what happens on the Train" to not consider making instruction booklets or coming down to stop the Apex anyhow.
What Does She See in Him?: When Amelia has dinner with him, she internally questions what Utahoshi ever saw in Kisaragi.
White Bunny: He's a pure white rabbit.

Ogami (Spoilers)

Ogami

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Skill Crane Car)

A Passenger-turned-Denizen who takes the form of a butterfly-winged boy. Unlike his Voyage of Wisteria self, he doesn't stick around for long.

Big "NO!": Shouts this as his last words before being killed.
Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: He's based on a butterfly and ends up killing passengers who he feels are "irredeemable". And then he ends up killed by a passenger.
Death by Adaptation: Ogami was still around in Voyage of Wisteria by the time he appeared in this story, where he dies in a timeframe relative to Blossoming Trail.
Death by Irony: Ogami's Modus Operandi in the original trilogy involved judging Passengers, killing them, and taking their souls for later use. This story has Ogami on the receiving end of this ordeal, except rather than his soul being taken, it gets destroyed. Moreover, he ends up being killed by a passenger.
Deader than Dead: When he gets killed at the end of the Skill Crane Car, not only is his body destroyed, but his soul as well, ensuring he can never come back.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Ogami finally died at the end of Voyage of Wisteria after Goh trapped him in his memory tapes and he learned to let go of his issues. Ogami in this story gets his soul destroyed by a mysterious figure.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: He appears in the final story of the Blossomverse trilogy with a cameo at the end of the final chapter of Blossoming Trail, so most people who don't know about him will be for quite a surprise.

Vox

A Demon Lord of Technology. Killed by Elipzo.

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In Voyage of Wisteria, Vox died by getting wiped out of existence by the destruction of the link between the Infinity Train and the Pokemon World. In here, he died under unknown circumstances at the hands of Elipzo.
The Ghost: Mentioned by Ryu as one of Elipzo's main targets.
In-Series Nickname: He's called "TV head guy" by Ryu.

Hero of Another Story: Apparently was the assistant to a famous detective named Furlock Holmes.
Hidden Depths: He's happy to help Yuri with Indigo's riddle as he himself loves riddles.
Meaningful Rename: He became Wynfor the 4th after saving the Prime Minister of Furdon from a conspiracy involving the Vacuum Cleaner Car.
Mister Exposition: He's the one who tells Tony about the Numine and Goetias — aka what people call gods and demons.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His full name is Wynfor the 4th so Tony calls him "Wyn" for short.
Vague Age: Looks like an adorable puffball but he sounds like Jerry, who is in his 60s, and he mentions stopping a conspiracy thirty years prior.
Vocal Dissonance: Is a cute puffball with a deep British accent that Tony states makes him "sound like Jerry".

Indigo

Indigo / Kyler Wilton

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Debut, First appearance: The Boutique Street Car) | Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos (Voice only)

A famous thief from the Neath Car (Also known as Fallen London) who tasks both Augustine and Chloe to stop him from stealing a jewel in the Boutique Street Car.

Ambiguously Gay: While in the Midgard Car, he starts staring at a male denizen in interest as he and Professor Cerise are eating dinner at a tavern. He's later revealed to be bisexual when he flirst with a man and woman in the Sweet Succubus Car.
Beyond the Impossible: He is able to hold conversations with Rey, Oscar and the Zenkaiger group in Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos. Why is this impossible? Because it's been established in many Blossomverse stories that denizens can't be heard through inter-dimensional calls.
Chekhov's Gunman: He's actually mentioned multiple times before his debut in the Boutique Streect Car.
- Augustine saw a flashback of Indigo saving Asher from his abusive partner and both Victor and Gloria described him prior to The Reveal.
- Before Chloe hangs up from her phone call with Goh in the Ninjala Car, Gloria hopes Chloe can break "her records along with Indigo".
Cool Mask: He wears a comedy theater mask.
Dark Is Not Evil: He's a thief who wears purple and black and hails from a car based off Fallen London, but he's polite, affable saved Asher from his abusive partner and partnered with two children from Galar. He's also the one who finds Professor Cerise when he gets on the Train.
Dramatic Unmask: Removes his mask at the end of Act 1, revealing that he has Professor Cerise's face.
Everyone Has Standards: He's a thief, but he knows better than to be stealing treasure from Auric's Dragon Hoard.
Gentleman Thief: He's a polite and affable thief.
Graceful Loser: After he is bested by Augustine in the Boutique Street Car, he gives his word and opens the lock to the exit door.
Hero of Another Story: Full-time thief, savior of a shadow, a temporary partner for two passengers named Victor and Gloria and is in cahoots with Lantern.
Meaningful Name: Indigo is a blue-purple color and fittingly he wears purple.
Noble Demon: Even though he did lock up the Boutique Street Car and attacked the Windchasers, Red Lotus Uprising and Tony Clark, he removes the lock once Augustine catches up to him and leaves peacefully. Further inspections reveal that he would've unlocked the car anyway at midnight.
Oh, Crap!: He has this reaction when Rey calls him and if it's connected to the "ol' dragon" (Auric).
Two Aliases, One Character: He usually goes by Indigo but his real name, according to Lotus, is Kyler. In Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos, he goes by Kyler Wilton.

Cutie

Queen Cutie

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Cameo in the Ninjala Car, First appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

Cutie III or Queen Cutie of the Magic Castle Car. She was a victim of the Apex's assaults years ago.

An Arm and a Leg: Her ear and leg were torn off by the Apex and there are stitches seen on her body.
Break the Cutie: Literally. Her ear and leg were torn off by the Apex years ago and she's a nervous wreck when hosting a tea party for Grace.
Cool Crown: Wears a tiny crown on her head.
The Cutie: A sweet, kind, benevolent elephant queen whose name is "Cutie".
Dramatic Stutter: She's stuttering and shy around Grace due to the fact that Grace and her cult tore her apart the last time they met.
Honorable Elephant: A benevolent elephant queen whom the subjects adore.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: The torture the Apex gave on her? That's actually ripped from her home game.
Nervous Wreck: Acts like this around Grace. Justified considering what Grace and the Apex did to her...
Nice Guy: Despite the torture the Apex gave her, she still tries to give Grace some cookies and tea and allows them to rest in her car even with a high chance of them backstabbing her.
Spared by the Adaptation: Cutie was killed in her game (although it's assumed Cody and May patching her up brought her back to "life") whereas she's still alive albeit heavily traumatized.
Unknown Character: Her friend, Rose, is mentioned but never described — when Grace finds a photograph of Rose and Cutie together, it's obscured — nor is her fate revealed. This was invoked by the authors for the audience to come up with their own conclusions. At the very least, Cutie knows she'll never see her again.

King Titus

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned, First appeaarance: The Cyan Desert Car) | Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos (Debut) | The Firefly Funhouse car (Mentioned)

The king of Azada, The Library of Flying Books and father of Prince Lexi.

Flying Books: His car is filled with them, although he is never seen as one.
The Good King: A kind, benevolent king of flying books.
Hero of Another Story: If a comic is accurate, Rey Mysterio once encountered him when he got on the Train. This gets confirmed in Seeker of Crocus that Rey did in fact meet Titus years ago.

My Greatest Failure: He heavily regrets trusting Grace and Simon with allowing them to partner with his son, seeing as he later learns how they treated him.
Rage Breaking Point: When he learns from Marchosias that the Numinae and Goetias are fine interfering when passengers or crazy cultists are using their powers, but will stay still when the likes of the Apex roams about, he gets angry. Justified because these guy could've told him that his son was Buried Alive and Grace and Simon did the deed.
Retcon: Like with Lexi, the original Blossomverse never indicated he was royalty, but he was later rewritten as this after Infinity Train: Boiling Point and its prequel made him a king.

Opal

Appears in: Seeker Of Crocus (Mentioned) | Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos (Debut)

A jaguar warrior from the Deadliest Warrior Car who was once the partner of Rey Mysterio when he entered the Infinity Train.

Cat Girl: A more aggressive version as she's seen wearing a jaguar's pelt.
Hero of Another Story: She's the partner of Rey Mysterio back when the luchador got on the train.
Hero-Worshipper: She is amazed at Chloe Cerise's skills and grants her the title of "Crimson Servant of Xolotl"^note.
Meaningful Name: She's named Opal cause on her forehead is a fire opal. Turns out to also be a Meaningful Rename; she was once called "Warrior" in the past.

Noodle Incident: She met up with some denizen with a cane and asks Matt to transcribe to Rey that they owe her an apology.
Panthera Awesome: She's a warrior based off of a jaguar.
Shown Their Work: That weapon that she's described with in the comic Oscar reads? Not only is it real, but obsidian can be incredibly sharp if carved well.
Your Favorite: In Auric's café, her usual is a muffletta sandwich^Explanation.

Auric

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First Appearance: The Cyan Desert Car) | Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos

A barista found in the Nekomata Car. In reality, he's a three-headed dragon that is a member of the Goetias, ranked somewhere in the twenties.

For more information about his real identity, see Buné's profile in the Goetias section.

Brutal Honesty: He points out to Augustine that sometimes you need to be this in order to get people to change.
Dark Is Not Evil: He's a member of the Goetias whose true form is dark dragon with three heads but he helped Kaito as a child, runs a cafe which is staffed by adorable kittens and is the mentor of Asher who saved Augustine from going off the deep end in wanting to give "his" version of hope. Not to mention that the Cyan Desert Car reveals he's actually one of the Goetias.
Dragons Are Demonic: He's a three-headed dragon and he's revealed to be a member of the Goetias, hence a literal demon dragon.
Dragon Hoard: He has one of these, according to Kaito. Indigo himself confirms this and Chloe sees it for herself in the Harvest Moon Car.
Foreshadowing: His cafe is in the Nekomata Car. Where is his identity revealed as Bune? The Harvest Moon Car, which also has cat-like denizens.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: His usual form is a three-headed dragon, but he will turn into a human to make it easier to traverse the train. The end of the Cyan Desert Arc has him looking like Kaito — more specifically the Avataro Sentai Donbrothers version of Kaito — due to getting permission from him.
I Have Many Names: Au-san, Auric, the barista, Asher's mentor, Yugure...
In-Series Nickname: Kaito called him "Au-san" while Indigo calls him that "ol' dragon".
Kind Hearted Cat Lover: His cafe is in the Nekomata Car and he hires kitten workers as staff.
Meaningful Name:
- Auric is a measurement for an ion of gold and he, as a dragon, has a ton of gold. Moreover, "Au" happens to be the periodic element for gold.
- His disguise name, Yugure, means "twilight" in Japanese. A good contrast to the person he got his image from (Kaito Goshikida, his last name meaning "five colored world person").
The Mentor: He's Asher's mentor since Rey Mysterio vs. The Cosmos has him interested in how Asher has a new name.
Metaphorically True: Under his guise as Yugure, he notes that he has never see Augustine before. Augustine has met up with Auric in his barista form though.
Multiple Head Case: His true form is that of a three-headed dragon.
Parental Substitute: He acted as Kaito's second father while on the Train and saw the boy as his son.
Real Men Can Cook: He's a male dragon demon who runs a café and is skilled at cookimg.
Red Herring: As Yugure, he gives cookies to Chloe that has the number #28 on them, making her believe that this is his rank as a Goetia...except Chloe knows that the 28th Goetia wears red. Yugure is wearing black. Chloe reveals that it was actually hinting two Goetias working with them — Agares (2) and Buné (26)
Sink or Swim Mentor: He transports Augustine into another world — specifically he sent him into the Blossomverse during the Darkest Day incident — and would not let him go until he learned his lesson.
The Stoic: As Yugure, he comes as completely calm and not really emotive, made even better since his form is based off the Donbrothers version of Kaito Goshikida, who's not much of a talker either.
Tempting Fate: He mentions to Opal that Chloe Cerise doesn't impress him and that he'll only change his mind when she fights off an entire army. Then the Ninjala Car happens...
Auric: If this servant [Chloe] can find hope and unleash it upon the fallen, maybe then I will reconsider.
You're Insane!: When he tells Opal that Chloe will only impress him if she fights an army, she calls him mad.

Lord Dona'tor

Appears in: Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos (Mentioned)

A very eccentric denizen Kaito met on his Train trip who has an obsession with lamps.

Companion Cube: He loves lamps. A lot.
The Ghost: Mentioned in passing by Kaito.
In the Hood: He's described as wearing a dark red hooded cloak.
Shout-Out: He's a reference to a character created by Tom Fawkes for the Runaway Guys Colosseum charity stream, who first debuted stealing a lamp that the Let's Players treated as a Companion Cube.

Casimira

"This is Palimpsest. This is reality. Nothing comes without pain or death."

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Debut, First appearance: The Palimpsest Car)

An eccentric woman in the Palimpsest Car who acts like the guide for the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising.

Above Good and Evil: She doesn't see anything wrong with her methods as long as she focuses on her end goal.
Adaptational Jerkass: The best she was in the book was an aloof Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold. The fanfic removes the heart of gold and shows she's only doing what she does to make herself feel better, no one else.
Adaptational Karma: She got away with enacting the Great Offscreen War in her book and gets to shove it into Ululiro's face that humans get to parade around the town and November forgives her for chopping her fingers with implications that they become a couple. By the end of the Palimpsest Car, she's lost everything: her reputation is in shambles, she must make monetary compensations, she already had her offscreen breakup with November and now for all that she wanted the barriers of Palimpsest down, she's never allowed to leave.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: At the end of the original Palimpsest, it's implied that she and November would end up as a couple. The fanfic reveals that the relationship got toxic and the two broke up.
The Beastmaster: Since her factory creates all of the animals in Palimpsest, she can also control them to do what she wants and she's able to see through their eyes. For example, she has a sea of chipmunks and squirrels attack Vaillant.
Be Careful What You Wish For: She wanted people to notice her problems? Well, with Infinet up and running, now everyone will be in the know if she messes up.
Break the Haughty: After being such a smug, haughty bitch the entire time she's seen in Palimpsest Car, her actions led to a domino effect that nearly ended with the car destroyed, Chloe nearly killed, and everyone knowing of her crimes on Infinet, along with the wrath of One and the Train itself deeply felt. She is told off by November in a passive-aggressive list, Chloe tells her that she is a self-absorbed brat who never grew up (and also punches her in the face), and Amelia throws back the whole "I get to see Alrich" again by admitting that her memories of him were colored and that it's time for her to move on. She also owes monetary compensation and she will never get to leave Palimpsest for the rest of her life.
Broken Tears: After she gets called out and punished for her crimes, she can only slump to her knees and sob.
Bystander Syndrome: For someone who went to war in order to get what she wanted, she didn't help create policies to ensure peace came about after the war ended. She also tasks passengers to do what she could've done easily, something Chloe herself noted. Plus, when Chloe is attacked by street cleaners, she doesn't summon her animal companions to save her.
Color Motifs: Green. She wears a green dress, has emerald hair, and arrives in a green carriage. It also helps her be a mirror to Chloe, whose main color is red. Red and green are contrasting colors.
Corrupted Character Copy: Green Phantom Queen interprets her as one for an archetypical Disney Princess with many a parallel to Giselle (Yuri even calls her an "urban Disney Princess wannabe"). Casimira is the "princess" figure who works with the vermin of a modern city and has a dream to rebel against the status quo, only for her methods to go into disastrous proportions. Instead of being cheered, a lot of people despise her. And her drive to succeed only boils down to how she wants it the most and she herself is sided by Palimpsest itself not because it understands her reasonings but because Casimira "wanted it more". She's also seen as smug and above all others because she thinks she is in the right.
Cruel Mercy: Instead of death, she will stay in Palimpsest and watch all the passengers whom she "sacrificed" and went to war for, go ahead without her, all while the Infinet watches her every move. She basically is stuck as a tour guide, forever rooted to her "home". Even better is that this punishment was given to her by someone who's technically not a passenger.
Determinator: She wanted the barriers of Palimpsest down; she got it done all right. Deconstructed because it's not because it was the right thing to do, but only because she desired it more than Ululiro wanted the doors shut. She's so blind to what she thinks is best that she couldn't care less if everyone burns around her.
Did Not Think This Through: She really didn't grasp how starting a war wasn't going to endear everyone to her dreams of opening Palimpsest to passengers, nor did she actively try to ensure peace as a whole. Then again, it's not like she cared to think about it.
Disproportionate Retribution: At age 13, instead of making a campaign or talking things over about how denizens of Palimpsest can get along with passengers, she started a war.
Distaff Counterpart: Take Mr. Bradbury from Blossoming Trail and make him a woman and you get Casimira, folks.
Entitled Bitch: What she wants is what she gets and if you don't like it then she'll go to war for it and not care about the casualties. She's so entitled that Chloe ultimately has to shut her up with a punch to the face.
Evil Counterpart: To Chloe. While the two do things for the benefit of the Train, Chloe states that what she did bacj at tge Bubhaka Car was never for personal glory, only for the smallest wish to give them a better life since the Mirage Pokémon are nothing compared to the idiot classmates who chose to continue harrassing her. For this Wepwawet and Marchosias granted her the power to change things due to them wanting to feel what love and hope was. Whereas Casimira wants to boast that she unleashed a war to let passengers wander freely and Palmipsest only sided with her because Casimira "wanted it more", not because they actually understood the consequences of it. Chloe is willing to admit that she's wrong and see how she's acting no better than the other bitches in her life, but Casimira doesn't understand the idea of accepting fault where need be and can't seem to think about others.
Females Are More Innocent: Absolutely not. While Augustine did derail the Train due to his depression, the all-male street cleaners only have themselves to blame for strangling Chloe, Chloe did have her Freak Out that caused Augustine's depression, and it's Amelia who is still indirectly the cause of everything for more than thirty years, the fallout of the Palimpsest Car wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her entitlement, her "determination" to get what she wanted and if she actively tried to do more than force passengers to do her dirty work.
Freudian Excuse: For some reason, she was taken away by her house instead of the local school and was given freedom and thought by the embodiment of her house. She sensed this loneliness and hated how Palimpsest was isolated, and thus did everything she could to let passengers roam free.
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: But this does not excuse the fact that she caused a war solely to get what she wants and could care less about the damage she caused, not to mention chopping someone's fingers off as a test or trying to justify that all that destruction and pain was ''beneficial'.
Hated by All: A lot of denizens in the Palimpsest Car don't like her due to the war she started. Not that she gives a damn about what they think. Then it's revealed that her actions, which nearly lead to, the destruction of Palimpsest itself and Ululiro's street cleaners beating up and almost killing Chloe has made her utterly despised. To drive it home, both the Train and One-One hate her and it's only through Tres that Casimira is even allowed to live.
Hypocrite: She claims to care about passengers and did all she can to let them roam freely. So...why is she standing there while Chloe is being attacked by street cleaners to the point that she was almost killed by a denizen?
Hypocrite Has a Point: Casimira is no saint at all, but she makes a good point when she tells Chloe that the Train's actions of separating a passenger from their loved ones is not a good idea and just exasperates their problems.
I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder: When Lexi snarks that Casimira will make them have a brunch of caviar and crackers with champagne, she states that she's a factory owner, not a princess.
Ironic Name: Casimira is Slavic for "Peace maker", but it's she who started that war to open Palimpsest up.
Mother of a Thousand Young: She's the current owner of a factory that presses out the vermin of Palimpsest.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: She's very proud of herself but her facade cracks a little when Chloe asks if November (her lover) left her because Casimira hurt her (in this case this is in regards to chopping two of November's fingers off).
Pet the Dog: For all her aloofness and entitlement, she did let Chloe rest up in her home for a few days for the sole payment of Amelia's turtle handkerchief when she could've asked for something more.
Psycho Lesbian: Downplayed. She and November were together and she did chop off November's fingers once — more to prove to November that what she was experiencing was real, not out of craziness or love — but she willingly let November leave once their relationship got toxic.
Sapient House: She states that her house is alive; she's right as the spirit of the house manifests as a twelve-year-old boy who explains that he is Casimira's still-born uncle.
Self-Inflicted Hell: Tres tells Casimira straight out that Palimpsest is basically her hell. She wanted it open to passengers, but she never thought of telling anyone how it would benefit them, nor did she actively tried to understand what happens if a renegade passenger brought hell to everyone.
Surveillance as the Plot Demands: All the animals she creates are connectd to her and so she can see and hear through them.
The Unfettered: She would do anything for the borders of Palimpsest to stay open for passengers. Even going to war with the denizens who didn't want humans to gawk and point at everything like babies.
Ungrateful Bitch: Instead of being thankful that a train didn't crash into her house and kill her, she still acts embittered and smug. Chloe, who was also in said house and got the wrath of a dozen street cleaners, retaliates with a punch to the face.
Villainous Breakdown: Once everything goes to hell in a handbasket, she ends up trying to salvage her pride by playing the I Warned You card, only for Chloe to punch her right in the face and tell her that everything in Palmipsest (outside of Ululiro's decision to cut up animals) was her fault. No matter how many cards Casimira plays that "justifies" her decision — her biggest one being that Amelia could finally be with Alrich once more — no one gives into her reasonings. In the end, she silently drops to her knees, completely broken and forever stuck in Palimpsest.

Wonder Magician (SPOILERS)

Alrich

"Oh, so you [Amelia] heard of me? Alrich, the Wonder Magician of Palimpsest?"

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Palimpsest Car)

A copy of Alrich that is somehow found in the Palimpsest Car.

Alice Allusion: He dresses as a magician with rabbit ears and proclaims how he's late. Moreover, he is known wearing rollerblades like the Adventures in Wonderland iteration of the White Rabbit would. When Amelia meets up with him for tea, he questions if today is her Unbirthday.
Artificial Human: Well, all humanoid denizens created by the Train are this, but this one is noticeable because he's an exact copy of Amelia's love, who has been dead for thirty years. Lexi calls these types of copies pecia — referencing to a time when monks had to copy ledgers down by hand.
Clones Are People, Too: He's a replica of Alrich all the way down to his memories, but Amelia realizes that using him to escape losing her Alrich is being selfish of her and lets him live his own life.
Composite Character:
- While he has the face of Alrich, his role is to be the Shattered Memories version of Harry Mason — a figmented version of a loved one whom Amelia (playing the role of the Shattered Memories Cheryl Mason) that helps her understand that she must move on to live a happy life. The pescia Alrich is basically the dead brought to life, just like the Harry that Shattered Memories Cheryl created is described as a Frankenstein's monster.
- He's the Maria figure to the original Alrich as well. He's a clone specifically made as a replacement to the deceased one and Amelia is tested as to whether or not she wants to settle down here or continue finding Hazel. The main difference is that this Alrich doesn't have an existential crisis on who he really is.
Contrived Coincidence: A pescia that looks exactly like Alrich bumps into Amelia. What are the odds?
Cooldown Hug: When Augustine is ready to drive a sword to his throat, he gives him a hug.
Crash-Into Hello: Crashes into Amelia's barrier on his way to the races.
Mythology Gag: The pescia has references to Alice in Wonderland due to one of the memories in Amelia's memory tape showing a young Alrich getting an A+ on his essay in regards to the titular book itself.
Nice Guy: He offers to cheer Chloe up when she's in the hospital and asks Amelia to come have tea with him despite only knowing her for a few minutes.
Noodle Incident: He once tried to do a stage performance at the Church of the Blind.
Replacement Goldfish: Subverted; Amelia comes to realize that this Alrich is not her Alrich, and trying to recreate her past with him is being selfish of her. She decides to let him go and not let him be tethered to her.
Rollerblade Good: He wears rollerblades when he first appears.
Stage Magician: He's dressed up as one and hopes to call himself a "Wonder Magician".
Tarot Motifs: He's dressed as a magician with an infinity symbol on his hat, which reflects that a person has everything they need to start their goals. The card he gives Amelia is the Page of Cups, which usually represents a messenger and chapters later, he's the vessel through whic Palimpsest communicates with.
Walking Spoiler: Mentioning his real name is a huge spoiler to Amelia's backstory and what's in store for her in the Palimpsest Car.
Wham Line: He introduces himself as Alrich, the same name as Amelia's deceased fiancé and the reason she got on the Infinity Train in the first place.

The Cat

The Cat/Samantha

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Palimpsest Car)

A talking cat who has a reputation for being a con-artist. Her real name is Samantha and she was once Simon's partner when he was on the Train.

Adaptational Context Change: The Cat gives Simon the nanites in the show because he wants to know what Grace was hiding from him in the show. In the fanfic, she gives it to him because she senses that Grace is going on the deep-end and Simon could use them to prevent her from doing something dangerous. In other words, she went from giving this equivalent to a gun to a paranoid man to something he can use as self-defense.
Adaptational Karma: Not counting Simon's death in the original Infinity Train, the only thing the Cat got to punishment for abandoning Simon to fend for herself was that she gets to live happily ever after with Frank albeit her reputation has taken a big of a hit and she does her best to redeem herself by donating her collection for future passengers' use. Here, Elipzo gets to her first and she ends up as a drooling vegetable after she is forced to confess that she's at fault with Simon.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Her Blossomverse self was mostly what she was like in the original show with a little more distaste for "Little Miss Gracie". Crocus Cat has her actually listening to Simon when he discusses his past, and even gives him a phone so he can talk to his parents.
At Least I Admit It: She may have been the one to run away from Simon but at least she actually did take care for him for a time, compared to other denizens who could've helped Grace figure out what she had to do on the Train but chose not to.
Backhanded Apology: Her confession on the Infinet just reeks of this, as the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising note.
Bystander Syndrome: She stayed in the sidelines for eight years not even trying to find Simon in order to apologize for why she abandoned him to the Ghom, thus letting him be corrupted by Grace's lies and end up as co-leader of the Apex. However, she also calls out the numerous denizens whom Grace encountered and might've given her the knowledge as to how to survive the Train.
Didn't See That Coming: By her own admission, she never expected the donut holer business she suggested to Randall would actually become popular, thanks to the water blob handing one to Chloe Cerise who became a beloved heroine on the Train.
Digging Yourself Deeper: The Cat can't seem to shut up about why she never helped Simon explain what the numbers mean or that it was either she surviving or Khaki Bottoms in the Ball Pit Car when it was she who brought the Conductor into the same car and had it destroyed all so her skin was saved.
Dirty Coward: She'd save herself first than anyone else in her care. She never came back to Simon when the two were chased by a Ghom (and it's been eight years since they've seen each other) and she ran away to hide in the Ball Pit Car while endangering the lives of Tulip, Atticus, One-One and Khaki Bottoms when Amelia laid waste to it. However, by her admission about the Ghom, even if she didn't run away, she couldn't have saved Simon as she's not meant for combat.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She still cares for Simon, going as far as to help him call his mother again, and she's in a relationship with Frank.
Females Are More Innocent:
- Subverted; while she's not fully responsible for how Simon became part of the Apex, she still had a paw in turning him as he is for downright abandoning him and not coming back years later, nor did she even apologize for what she did,. and knew what the numbers meant yet it never crossed her mind to tell Simon about what to do. However, she also points out that many denizens who probably knew what numbers meant could've stopped Grace or Simon and change their views before it got worse.
- When compared to Amelia, she's the innocent one. Yes, she did trap Tulip in her memory tapes, but it was out of self-defense. Even when she fulfilled her end of the bargain to bring Amelia to Tulip's location, Amelia still tried to kill her. The Cat joined Tulip in figuring out the truth about the Conductor's past both due to Tulip actually showing concern for her and to give Amelia the middle finger for spitefully attacking her.
Hypocrite Has a Point: She has a severe case of bystander syndrome for abandoning Simon to a Ghom and never coming back to see him for eight years. But she also points out that the denizens who knew what the numbers were about also were just like her: they could've told either Grace or Simon the truth and prevent them from making the Apex, but they all stood around the sidelines and let them become the apathetic "don't give fucks about those without numbers" denizen slaying cult.
Jerkass Has a Point:
- She's trying to deflect blame on herself in regards to Simon's problems, but she is right that Grace had a hand in shaping Simon and the Apex with her lies and it's not like she forced Simon to listen to her know-it-all ramblings.
- In her livestream confession, she asks many denizens if they were willing to help Grace when she needed it and if they were capable of fighting off against a Ghom.
- While it was very apathetic of her saying that it was better that she was alive rather than Khaki Bottoms, it's only because of her that Tulip got to read Amelia's memory tape, helping her understand that the Conductor was a woman trapped in her past and couldn't move on while also helping Tulip come to terms with her own pains and getting her number down to 0. Not to mention that it's thanks to her that One-One became reinstated as the true Conductor. So yes, it is mean to say that the Cat was less expendable, but without her, Amelia would've kept ruining more and more lives until she died.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Everything about her from Book 3 is a big spoiler.
- The fact that she was once Simon's partner and indirectly the reason he's the denizen hating man he is today is solely her fault.
- Her real name, Samantha, is a minor spoiler and Simon wouldn't reveal it until Book 3, Episode 7.
Mirror Counterpart: To Grace's parents. While they're all abusive and neglectful of their children, The Cat at least tries to make an effort to be better and make amends, whether it be to helping Tulip uncover the truth about the Conductor and even gives Simon a way to talk to his mother. The Cat cared more about her life and her collection, the Monroe parents cared more about their status.
Morton's Fork: If she told Simon what little info she knew on the numbers, and should said info be wrong, it would've hurt Simon instead of helped. If she didn't tell what she knew and made Simon follow her, then he would just be easy pickings for whomever came along...like Miss "Total expert on the Train" Grace Monroe.
Must Make Amends: Subverted; she rather not reveal to the Infinity Train that she's at fault for creating Simon as the co-leader of the Apex, but both Simon and Frank force her to do so. However, she does give Simon the nanobots in an attempt to help him stop Grace from doing something she's going to regret.
Never My Fault: Keeps trying to deny that she's at fault with Simon's current situation, but neither Simon nor Frank accept it.
Non-Action Guy: That said, despite her denial, she ultimately tells Simon that even if she didn't run away from him, there was no way she could've saved Simon from the Ghom cause she doesn't have any hands to wield weapons or any fighting capabilities.
Once Done, Never Forgotten: Doesn't like Randall reminding her that she convinced him to make a donut holer business, now that it's become popular due to an association with a Demon Lord.
Pet the Dog: For all that she was an abusive parental figure to Simon by abandoning him, when they reunite, she actively listens to Simon's pains over not seeing his mom again, and even gives him a phone for the two to talk.
Poor Communication Kills: She only told Simon to "do whatever I tell you" and never told him how he could leave the Train. Simon is upset that she would never tell him what to do, yet told Tulip what it meant when her number was going down.^note She later explains in her confession video that she honestly had no idea what was going on with the numbers and if she told what she knew to Simon, and if she was wrong, then she would've hurt Simon more than he already was.
Shadow Archetype: Of Tokio, whose "abandonment" of Goh was the reason why Goh ended up as he was under the belief that Pokémon made better friends and ignoring his Childhood Friend. But for all that Tokio did wrong, it was a mistake and nothing more. He was sick, something no one could control, and he did try to send a message to Goh, even if he didn't think about the low chances of Goh ever coming back to find the letter (much less if the letter would still be there) and the trauma on the Train has broken him. Samantha, however, has no excuse except "I didn't abandon you, I ran", and doesn't feel pity for what she did, proud to admit that she was less expendable than Khaki Bottoms and ends up happily ever after with her lover Frank, while Simon was traumatized and poisoned with Grace's lies.
Skewed Priorities: Simon berates The Cat that she cares more about her collection of precious trinkets than his well-being. She abandoned him for eight years and never cared about his life, yet she's happier as a crazy hoarder.
Simon: Edith is gone, and I could have been at her funeral or at least seen her one last time if you told me what to do! All you had to do was tell me how to get off the train but your collection and things were more important! Or as that girl in that labyrinth movie would say, 'IT'S ALL JUNK!'
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Zigzagged; she is the reason why Simon clung onto Grace's bluff on what the Train is supposed to do (not to mention that she never told him what they meant) but Simon notes that she's not the sole reason he hates denizens and that he could've found his way out if he had gotten the right information.
You Didn't Ask: She tries to weasel her way out by stating that Simon never asked her about what to do. Simon clarified he did; she just answered "Do whatever I tell you to".

Randall

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus

A sentient water blob from the Beach Car who makes a business selling donut holers.

The Cameo: He first appears in an interview in the Ninjala Car as to how Chloe got her donut holer.
The Pollyanna: He's always cheerful and happy to others, including the Apex leaders.
Small Role, Big Impact: He gifted Atticus the donut holer that Chloe used as her personal weapon.
Snowball Fight: The blizzard in the Le Chat Chalet Car is him having a snowball fight.

Frank

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Debut, First appearance: The Palimpsest Car)

A bear cop who is the Cat's flame and a really good cook.

Adaptation Personality Change: He's a Mellow Fellow in the show, but he's not a pushover in the story. He's firm when he tells the Cat that she is at fault for Simon's problems and that she ultimately cares more for her survival than helping others.
Beary Friendly: Like in the show, he's a kind bear who makes food for everyone.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He's usually a Mellow Fellow, but the way he talks to The Cat about her apathy is dripping with Tranquil Fury.
Phrase Catcher: "Not now, Franke!" for whenever he appears during an inopportune moment with food prepared.
Real Men Can Cook: Like in canon, he's good at making breakfast foods. Simon internally notes that it's pretty good.
Supreme Chef: He's good at cooking, enough for Simon to comment that it's delicious.

Khaki Bottoms

A plush rabbit denizen who once lived in the Ball Pit Car.

Ear Ache: He lost one ear after Amelia destroyed the Ball Pit Car.
The Ghost: Is mentioned in the Palimpsest Car arc but never seen.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: The fact that he lost an ear, and that he's alive, after the destruction of the Ball Pit Car.
Living Toy: He's a walking, talking rabbit plushie.
Mirror Character: To Tobe. Both are plush rabbits who were attacked, with Khaki losing an ear and Tobe separated from his friends. Khaki can talk, but Tobe is quiet.

Kitsune Girl

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Palimpsest Car)

A kitsune-like human found in the Third Rail who idolizes Chloe. Maybe a little too much...

Asian Fox Spirit: Like the name implies, she's based on the kitsune. More specifically, she's based on Kitsunetsuki, where a kitsune possesses a woman.
Be Yourself: Chloe helps her understand that she has special traits all of her own, ultimately letting her switch places with Chloe and work on atoning.
Easily Forgiven: Subverted; while Chloe and Inari forgive her for her stunt, she doesn't get off lightly for ruining the Third Rail car with cabbages and kanji, and she will have to tend to the fields as penance. She herself agrees with the punishment.
Foreshadowing: Her entire storyline of wanting to be Chloe and learning that she is special as she is are all signs to Chloe's true motives in the Harvest Moon Car. She makes this whole persona up in order to be like Goh so she can finally be seen as special to him.
"Freaky Friday" Flip: She possesses Chloe — knocking Chloe's soul out and having her turned into a wolf — in order to become Chloe and leave the Third Rail.
Good Counterpart: The co-author reveals she's one for Sara as a jealous girl who wants Chloe's life. Except this kitsune girl realizes that what she did was wrong and decides to atone for her crimes the first time around, whereas Sara dragged others down with her before she had no choice but to give up.
I Just Want to Be You: She swaps places with Chloe so she can finally be free and go on adventures. Unfortunately, Inari points that the girl doesn't know anything about Chloe pass the surface and that the train now reads "Chloe's" number with static.
Karma Houdini: Subverted. While Chloe and Inari don't hold any ill will to her actions, she still caused trouble in one of the cars of the Third Rail, and will have to tend to the cabbages she destroyed as penance. She herself accepts the punishment.
No Name Given: She's only called "Kitsune Girl" and both authors never made plans to give her a name.
"Not So Different" Remark: She notes to Lexi that they're somewhat the same in idolizing Chloe. This makes Lexi realize that he's been putting Chloe on a pedestal for far too long.
Small Role, Big Impact: She marks the point where Chloe has to figure out who she is outside of Chloe of the Vermillion and learning to love herself as Chloe Cerise.
Why Did It Haveto Be Snakes: She's afraid of Hewie, a reference to some myths that note how kitsunes are afraid of dogs.

Ululiro

A shark-headed denizen in Palimpsest Car who rallied the city to fight off against Casimira's plans to open the borders for passengers. Unfortunately, she lost, and this deep seated hatred of passengers was passed down her to the street-cleaners.

Females Are More Innocent: Nope. Despite being the lesser of evils compared to Casimira, she never thought to tell her street-cleaners not to attack the ten-year-old girl who did nothing wrong to them or learned to let go of her toxic thoughts until it was too late.
Heel–Face Turn: While she was more of a Retired Monster by the time she makes her appearance, seeing Chloe broken by her toxic mentality is what causes her to let go of her antagonistic thoughts on passengers and work on herself.
Heel Realization: Upon seeing the damage caused by her prejudice and Chloe's throat about to be slashed, she decides that this hatred can't last any longer.
Poor Communication Kills: Her inability to speak is what prevents her from telling her lackeys to let go of their hatred and nearly leads to Chloe's neck being sliced open.
Retired Monster: She had no choice but to step down after signing Casimira's treaty. But because she didn't change her ways, her hatred was spread through her street-cleaners, who don't have any qualms on wanting to kill a child.
Talking with Signs: She can't speak due to the surgery (as it was made out of shame for the massacre of the Palimpsest Zoo) so she writes down on a notepad instead.
Threatening Shark: She had her head removed and then surgically replaced with that of a shark and she's not one you want to mess with. However, in comparison to Casimira, she's the nicer one.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her hatred of passengers nearly lead to Chloe's death, when her street-cleaners are ready to kill her and no one is capable of stopping them.
The Voiceless: She can't speak due to the silent vow of those who went through the animal surgery to never speak again.

Alighieri

A gryphon dragon who is a general of the Goetia, Buné.

Break the Haughty:
- Started off as attacking Chloe and being proud about it, then gets the tables thrown on him by her friends and then gets a fireball to his face by Chloe herself.
- He was given this treatment back when a duo named Armand and Nal encountered him. And it was Armand, the human, who kicked his ass.
The Bully: He claims he's trying to figure out what's going on with the Harvest King, but really he's no better than the classmates who ruined Chloe's self-worth, nearly getting to the point that she was going to kill herself for a misunderstanding.
Dirty Coward: He was fine attacking Chloe (mentally and physically) when she was mentally troubled, but after she recovers and he demands a fight with her, he gets angry when Chloe is standing her ground and refuses to even humor him.
Establishing Character Moment: He makes his appearance by dive-bombing Chloe in the air, immediately targeting her without making her catch a breath on what she did wrong.
Evil Counterpart:
- To Chloe, particularly in the aspect on how they Accentuate the Negative. While Alighieri makes good points, he keeps spiting people even when it'd be in his best interests to eat a slice of humble pie. Meanwhile Chloe doesn't get a word in edgewise when Goh tells her that she's being spiteful and nitpicking for no good reason, but takes the time to consider whether or not Goh actually raises good points or not. When the two have a confrontation after Chloe gets her head on straight, Alighieri demands Chloe to fight him, but Chloe chooses to not humor him, only throwing a fire butterfly at his face when he attacks her first. When they apologize, Alighieri refuses until Buné practically demands a sincere one, whereas Chloe apologizes from the bottom of her heart for everything she did wrong.
- To Goh's parents, particularly in the aspect that they hate Chloe Cerise to death. They both want her to suffer immensley, with Alighieri dropkicking her out of the sky and stating she deserves to die alone without help while Kurune and Ikuo have no pity on what she's been going through, with Ikuo even stating she should've drown in a river instead of Goh. They both make valid points about Chloe's actions but they eventually rattle on and on about petty little things, but the parents eventually realize that what Chloe did was nothing more than mistakes of a child who doesn't know better while Alighieri refuses to move on. The parents ultimately state that they don't want Chloe dead, but to just apologize and them leave them alone, while Alighieri wants her to die like the monster she is. Last, they both had information needed for Chloe to make and change and refused out of utter spite to never say anything to her, but Kurune and Ikuo are ashamed at how their actions destroyed their relationship with Goh, while Alighieri doesn't know what shame means.
Hate Sink: His scenes in the Harvest Moon Car don't give much proof of a sympathetic side to him; he's smug even when being humble would be better for him, he wastes no time trying to assault a clearly depressed and suicidal girl despite not having the clear facts about her, and he basically blows up as soon as it seems like his case might end in his loss.
Horrible Judge of Character: He sees Chloe as a virus that must be eliminated and the cause of the Harvest King's suffering without explaining just what she did wrong and what's going on.
Humiliation Conga: He was hot shit in the Harvest Moon Part 2, but parts 3 and 4 make him lose all of his haughtiness when the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising tear him apart. Yuri's defense for Chloe is victorious, he almost loses his life to Amelia's blunderbuss, Augustine punches him in the gut, his own master nearly incinerates him, and by the time he wants to fight Chloe in battle, she downright refuses and calmly tears apart why he's such an asshole before exploding a fiery butterfly at his face without batting an eyelash.
In-Series Nickname: He's constantly called "Feather face" by the Windchasers and Red Lotus Uprising. Only Chloe calls him by his real name.
Jerkass: He is a very unpleasant feather face that even his own master hates, who wouldn't mind if a suicidally depressed girl would kill herself if it means less whining on the Train.
Jerkass Has a Point:
- Yes, he's unpleasant. Yes, he despises Chloe for not being a "True" believer of the Goetias and yes, he doesn't give a flying feather if a slow, agonizing awaits her...but at the same time, he's making very accurate points that the heroes have not been disciplining her and telling her to knock it off with her drama as she's been shown to be stepping back again and again, despite promising to grow as a person, like the train intended. It really says something that he's in the right when Anubis, God of Judgment, tells the heroes that they have one more chance to get this right.
- He is apathetic to the fact that Lexi has PTSD over his decision to try to leave his car with Grace and Simon, but he isn't wrong to admit that it's kinda Lexi's fault for fully putting his faith in the the future Apex leaders in the first place.
Laser-Guided Karma: He acts smug and haughty when Chloe is on the ropes, but Chloe quickly returns the favor after getting back together along with getting punched in the gut by Augustine.
Mind Manipulation: It's implied he has mental abilities, which he used to subtly turn Lexi and Atticus against Chloe.
Mirror Character: To Sara. They both despise Chloe for being annoying but Sara hates her for being obsessed with horror and Alighieri despises her for not being enough of a fanatic of the Goetia.
Misplaced Retribution: The reason why Alighieri is so gung-ho on attacking Chloe is because of a previous, unrelated incident where the human half of a human and shadow duo practically humiliated him.
Non-Indicative Name: He's more dragon than gryphon, but that doesn't stop everyone from calling him "feather face".
Noodle Incident: Alighieri has a bone to pick with Chloe because he met up with a passenger and his partner, Armand and Nal, and it was the human who kicked his ass yet granted mercy.
Ordered Apology: Buné all but demands him to apologize to the heroes for his attitude and nearly making Chloe kill herself.
Poor Communication Kills: He doesn't give Chloe time to properly figure out what's going on with Buné, or even tell it in a gentle manner, pushing her deeper and deeper to suicide...not like he gives a flying feather about her dying or suffering if it will make her change herself.
Shout-Out:
- Lexi shouts to him, "Oh, flock off, feather face!"
- His name is a reference to Dante Alighieri, famous for the Purgatorio trilogy where he ventures into Hell to reunite with his beloved, Beatrice.
Smug Snake: He acts like a total prick who makes points on Chloe being a whiny brat who everyone should leave behind. He gets chewed out by the heroes and then Chloe refuses to fight him, making him utterly humiliated in front of his own boss who is ready to erase him out of existence if he doesn't stop. Even his attack on Chloe in Harvest Moon Part 2 only happened because she didn't seem it coming and she's mentally broken to focus on him.
Straw Nihilist: He doesn't have a high opinion of existence, as he bluntly points that what Chloe does will eventually be forgotten and so will all of they.
There's No Kill like Overkill: He doesn't want Chloe to learn her lesson the hard way, he wants to ensure that she is unable to ask for help at all from any denizens by putting a geass on her and then separating her from her friends, ensuring that she suffers a slow, agonizing death without anyone to sympathize with her.
Underestimating Badassery:
- Years ago, a passenger named Armand and his demon partner Nal encountered Armand and they fought. Chloe said that Armand, the human, defeated the gryphon dragon in a fight which heavily wounded his pride.
- Alighieri decides to mouth off the girl called Demon Lord of the Vermillion, who shuts him up by throwing a fiery butterfly at his feathered face once she gets her head on straight.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Chloe's sanity was already fraying at this point, but assaulting her while she's trying to recover and blaming her for what happened to the Harvest King without getting the hard facts sets her on the path to nearly commit suicide and to nearly doom the Infinity Train as Yuri points it.
Would Hit a Girl: Makes his grand entrance by dive-bombing Chloe in the air when she wasn't looking.
Would Hurt a Child: Again, he first appears attacking a ten year old and is ready to fight her when he is in disbelief that Chleo is humble enough to not be seen as her Chloe of the Vermillion persona.

Homunculus

A creepy red-eyed homunculus whom Attcus and Simon encountered once. Currently stuck with a juggling partner, an amnesic and mute Eike Kusch.

Actor Allusion: Simon recalls how this homunculus wanted to give him some red and white mushrooms. Surely nothing more than a coincidence, right?
Ambiguously Evil: Simon and Atticus had bad vibes around them, but it's unknown if he is as evil as he was in his home game. Madame Doom says he wants to "help" his partner, but if we go by the events of his game, the help is to ensure Eike — aka Wolfred Wagner — can't stop him from being immortal via memory reset every few decades.
Ambiguous Situation: Atticus notes that this Homunculus has a juggler partner — implying that it's Eike Kusch, later confirmed by Madame Doom — but whether the partner is human or denizen is unclear, or whether or not Eike has his memories or is an amnesiac. Madame Doom "claims" that Eike lost his memories in an alchemy incident...which she's not wrong. Moreover, is he really a denizen or decided to follow Eike and just pretends to act like one?
The Ghost: Mentioned a few times in Act 2.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Atticus describes him as having red eyes, and was an unsettling presence in Atticus and Simon's narrative.

Madame Doom

A fortune teller in the Horrorland Car who is playing a long game with everyone involved.

Ambiguous Situation: She may or may not be a Goetia. When Lotus starts drawing a circle to summon one, she immediately snarks that there are better ways to "summon one" and she tries to enact a deal with Gladion not unlike Uncle Howdy (also implied to be a Goetia as well). And if she is a Goetia, is she the same one who Chiller made a covenant with?
Ambiguously Evil: She respects Gladion's wish to help those "more desperate than him"...but then the first passenger she decides to help is Grace Monroe...And then she may have been the one who gave Chiller the ability to always return to the Horrorland Car and grow his collection, muddling her even more.
Composite Character: Named after a character from the Horrorland books but practices more in function like Clarissa from Be Careful What You Wish For (who is the basis for Madame Doom), even having a crystal ball.
Crystal Ball: Carries a large yellow crystal ball when she asks Gladion to make a wish.
The Faceless: Her face is covered by a large black veil.
Fortune Teller: Obviously, crystal ball, tarot cards, and weird predictions included.
Madame Fortune: Known as Madame Doom (if it is her real name anyhow) and Gladion finds her in a fortune-teller's tent.
Mirror Character: To Gremory as both are fortune-tellers. While Gremory is a Proud Beauty who flaunts her powers and trolls Amelia over how she screwed her one chance of happiness, Madame Doom is supportive of Gladion and even grants his wish for her to help others. Gremory is more active and fights the heroes, while Madame Doom's only ability so far is to create portals.
Shout-Out: Her appearance is modeled after the fortuneteller from Shadow of Destiny whose face was covered to hide one of the biggest twists in the game.

Uncle Howdy

A mysterious, and outright dangerous, denizen who lives in the Firefly Funhouse Car. May or may not be a demon in disguise.

Actually Pretty Funny: Can't help but be amused when Gladion refuses to make a deal with him under the reasoning that he "doesn't take shit from demons".
Ambiguous Situation: Is Uncle Howdy a normal denizen or a Goetia parading as one? The Intermission confirms how Goetias like to take forms of humans whom they have made contracts with and Bune masquerades as different forms, and "Firefly Funhouse Car" has Chloe make the connection that the number "46" represents the 46th Goetia, Bifrons. Take note that when Gladion refuses a Deal with the Devil with Howdy by stating to "not take shit from demons", he seems amused at the response.
Arc Number: 46. A picture of Alec reveals a clock face in the flame that reads "4:30" (4:6 if reading Roman numerals) and when he hands a phone to Specter, the phone case has the number "46" on it.
Composite Character: Since Bray Wyatt died before the Uncle Howdy storyline could take place, the author revealed that she added aspects of G to fill in the gaps since G is also a mysterious figure whom there is little to no answers of and dresses like a Southern Gentleman. When Gladion refuses a handshake, Uncle Howdy takes it back and utters "You disappoint me", like one of G's taunts.
Dark Is Not Evil: Maybe. While many denizens fear him, Uncle Howdy supposedly helped Chloe when they met and he is willing to help White Gestalt get revenge on Joe Chiller.
Deal with the Devil: May or may not have attempted this with Gladion, but Gladion quickly refuses it under the logic of "You don't take shit from demons".
The Dreaded: Numerous denizens in the Canals of Fondue Car look in terror when the Red Lotus Trio have to pass by his car to see Uncle Howee. When he appears in the Horrorland Car, the denizens there look in fear.
Friend to All Children: Or at least, friend to a child. He treats Chloe with fondness and apparently has plenty of photos with her.
Light Is Not Good: He carries a lantern but he's someone you should't trust at first glance.
Motifs: Candles. His tale of Alec Cerise makes references to how candles and a passenger's number are one of the same, and how Alec got on the Train because he was terrified at how candles would be replaced by electricity. This would fit in line if he's actually the Ars Goetia Bifrons, as one of their abilities is creating "magic candles".
Noodle Incident: Aside from whatever he did with Chloe that involved garlic bread, he also met up with Armand decades ago and owes him a favor.
Shout-Out: Named after a character created by Bray Wyatt. Justified as The Firefly Funhouse Car prequel was written in memory of the wrestler. Speaking of which, the car he resides in is a reference to Bray's Subverted Kids' Show with the same name. Him carrying a lantern is from Bray's initial gimmick of a Deep South preacher.

King Raven

A plush raven wearing a crown found in Horrorland.

Appropriate Appellation: He gains his name when Specter points out the obvious of a raven with a crown. Thus "King Raven".
Cool Crown: Wears a fabric crown upon his head.
Facepalm: Constantly does this with his wings when Gladion and the others are incapable of noticing what they want to say.
Living Toys: He is a living stuffed animal. Gladion didn't even know he was alive until he attmped to throw King Raven to a wall...and watched as King Raven started flying.
Surrounded by Idiots: Gets annoyed at how none of the Gestalt — Gladion, Specter, Tokio — is paying attention to what he's trying to say and constantly bashes his head against a vanity table in annoyance.
The Voiceless: He can't speak, which means it makes it difficult for him to explain how there's a kore heart tucked away since Gladion refuses to humor him.

Stine

A Horror who introduces White Gestalt to Horrorland.

The Cassandra: Warned White Gestalt to stay far away from Chiller; they don't listen.
Dark Is Not Evil: Is a grotesque horror but he wants what was best for White Gestalt by getting them out of the car as soon as possible.
I Warned You: Is very incensed when White Gestalt fell for Chiller's tricks as he warned them to stay away.
Poor Communication Kills: As Tokio noted, sure he did tell them not to go to Chiller House, but refused to elaborate on why the hell it was dangerous in the first place.
Shout-Out: Naturally to R. L. Stine, the creator of the Goosebumps franchise.

The Numine

Denizen on the Train that are considered like gods to humanity. They can offer a contract with a passenger, which is called being "aligned". Those who who are aligned have a distinguishing mark that connects them with the god they are contracted with.

All Myths Are True: They exist on the Train and humanity would later weave myths based on seeing them in person.
Meaningful Name: Numine is Latin for "God".
Our Gods Are Different: They're denizens created by the Infinity Train.
Physical God: All of them are essentially this to the eyes of humans.
Really 700 Years Old: They've been around for essentially thousands of years.

Anubis

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

The jackal-headed Lord of Judgment, found in a pyramid within the Cyan Desert Car.

Brilliant, but Lazy: He takes his duties in judging people well, but he's also too lazy to read an email from his brother which nearly ended in a suicide.
Dark Is Not Evil: Like in Egyptian mythos, he's associated with the underworld but he's a benevolent deity.
Depending Upon the Undependable: Wepwawet sent a message to his older brother about an artifact he handed Chloe. Unfortunately, Anubis didn't bother to even read it and dismissed it as nonsense, which is what results to problems in the Harvest Moon Car that nearly culminates into Chloe about to kill herself for what should've been a small mistake. Buné even questions why Wepwawet asks his lazy brother for something so important.
Establishing Character Moment: Deep and imposing when he judges Chloe's heart, but then becomes tone-deaf when it comes to giving a gift to her (trying to give a sword wrapped in pink ribbons to the black wearing girl) before ignoring an email his brother sent him. This shows that while he does take his job seriously, everything else has him pretty much ignorant and dismissive of.
Failed a Spot Check: His biggest flaw is his inability to look at things.
- He tries to hand a sword wrapped in pink ribbons to Chloe...who is mostly wearing black.
- He didn't pay attention to an email his brother sent in regards to the Halo of Valac. Turns out that he should've as Chloe used it to cause something wrong in the Harvest Moon Car.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish one, as he's known to be quite lazy and playing video games when not on duty. Moreover, he didn't bother to read one of his brother's messages — which was an additional warning to the artifact Chloe was given and has now caused trouble in the Harvest Moon Car.
The Gods Must Be Lazy: Harvest Moon Car reveals that he can be a bit lazy as he hasn't read the message his brother sent him way back in the Cyan Desert Car nor took the time to send it to Chloe before using the Halo of Valac.
In-Series Nickname: Buné sarcastically calls him "the lazy puppy".
Irony: He's the God of Judgment but Atticus notes that he misjudged one of his brother's emails as something unimportant.
Laser-Guided Karma: The lazy god gets forced to minimum wage chores by Buné for his mistakes in the Harvest Moon Car.
Little Bit Beastly: Instead of a human with a jackal head, he instead is human with jackal ears.
The Medic: As one of his specialties of embalming, he's known for healing spells. He grants Chloe bandages to heal her neck after she was scratching it excessively.
Mister Exposition: He's the one who explains to Chloe the origins of her cloak, why demons aren't allowed in the Fog Car and warns her that the Cage of Flauros must be stopped before the Apex dies — else Flauros is permanently depowered — or they enact their own demonic ritual.
Mirror Character: To Goh, surprisingly enough. While both of them can be hyper-focused on their goals/jobs (Anubis takes judging hearts seriously while Goh works his way to meet with Mew), both of them can also be oblivious to everything else around them. Anubis dismissed an important email from his brother whereas Goh has a tendency to not take Chloe's requests to meet up with her on time seriously, and nearly drowned when he refused to listen to Chloe's warnings to not jump across a river, with both of their actions causing more problems than it should've. They also are completely locked out of the loop because no one bothers to even talk to them about what's going on until after shit hits the fan. When Goh learns about what he did to hurt Chloe, he has a mental breakdown and sobs that he's a failure. When Anubis learns of his mistake, he admits that he's at fault and accepts the punishments given to him.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By not reading his brother's message back in the Cyan Desert Car, he causes all of the problems in the Harvest Moon Car, up to Chloe about to kill herself. That message revealed warnings on how to properly use the Halo, which is something Chloe would've loved to have before she accidentally put the soul of Buné into Augustine. He even lampshades that he's solely to blame for everything.
Scales of Justice: As the Egyptian God of Justice, he tests Chloe's heart with one of these. He later summons another one for judging Yuri and Aligheri's hearts.
Shout-Out: He wears a a silver pyramid pendant in his human form.
Tempting Fate: After Chloe gets the Halo of Valac, Anubis gets a message from his brother, to which he dismisses it as nothing important asks what type of trouble a ten-year-old girl could get into. Two instances of this — the scene quickly following Sara and then the chaos of the Harvest Moon Car — makes him eat his words.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He wears nothing but a linen skirt but in the Harvest Moon Car, he covers his torso with linen bandages to emulate a fringe shirt.
Writing Lines: Wepwawet's punishment for his laziness is to write "I will never ignore my brother's emails" a thousand times. On clay tablets. In hieroglyphics.

Wepwawet

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

The white wolf Egyptian god of War, who hopes to bridge the powers of gods and demons together through his artifacts.

Alliterative Name: His title is Wepwawet, the White Wolf of the Warpath.
Ascended Extra: He's only mentioned through the name of Chloe's cloak in Blossoming Trail, whereas he's the creator of said cloak and other artifacts in this story.
Big "WHAT?!": He screams this when he learns his brother didn't read his email.
Chekhov's Gunman: Mentioned frequently in early Act 1, but finally shows his face at the end of the Cyan Desert Arc to help Chloe get adjusted to her new lycan form.
Fatal Flaw: He's so busy with other jobs that he has to rely on others to do jobs he could do himself. He sends an email to his brother for him to read...said lazy mutt didn't read it for the longest time, which meant that the warnings on how the Halo of Valac is supposed to be used doesn't reach Chloe, who has indirectly caused chaos in the Harvest Moon Car and is about to kill herself for this mistake.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Surprisingly, he's the responsible one over his brother. He makes crazy experiments, yes, but he also has to deal with numerous contracts with both Goetias and Numinae to lend their power for them and is not happy when his older brother didn't read a Glyph-mail from him regarding the Halo of Valac.
Happily Married: Anubis states that he's like this with Marchosias.
Insistent Terminology: He creates experiments, not artifacts.
Little Bit Beastly: Just like his brother, his human form is a man with white wolf ears.
Mirror Character: If Anubis is akin to Goh, then Wepwawet is his Chloe. Both are signified with the color white and have trouble properly expressing important warnings to their Goh counterparts, along with having many talents. The main difference is that Wepwawet doesn't do anything to physically harm his brother or to ghost him like Chloe did when she got tired with Goh's inability to actually think about her for once.
Poor Communication Kills: Subverted; while he did give his brother an email detailing the exact instructions on how the Halo of Valac works, he didn't ask Chloe himself when they met at the end of the Cyan Desert just in case the message actually was sent on time. He's not happy to learn some time later that his lazy ass of a brother ignored the message and found it to be trivial.
Red Baron: The White Wolf of the Warpath.
Noble Wolf: Is a white wolf god and aligned to the side of good.
Related in the Adaptation: Most myths separate Anubis and Wepwawet from each other, but the story reveals they are brothers.
They Called Me Mad!: If a glyph-mail to his brother is indication, he's been called mad a few times for trying to fuse god/demon magic together.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He relied on his brother to read an email in regards to the Halo of Valac artifact. However, he doesn't fully explain just what's inside said email until he directly talks to Anubis, as said message were specific instructions as to how that Halo worked. Needless to say, if he went to Anubis sooner, the tragedy of the Harvest Moon Car could have been avoided.

Thor

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned)

The Norse God of Thunder referenced by Wyn.

Berserk Button: Implied as Wyn states that Thor would get angry if Tony called Mjolnir "Myeh-myeh" to his face.
The Ghost: He's mentioned by Wyn in the Cyan Desert Car.
God of Thunder: He's the Norse God of Thunder.
Thunder Hammer: His signature weapon, Mjolnir is the original.

Aphrodite

Gremory: Dearie [Amelia], the difference between her and I is that I never caused a war over a silly little apple. And also, I’m capable of purifying the mind of ailments, whereas Aphrodite can only cause love and lust and nothing else in-between.

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned)

The Greek Goddess of Love and one of the reasons the Trojan War got enacted.

The Ghost: Referenced by Gremory.
Love God: She's the Goddess of Love, duh!
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In order to prove she was the fairest, she gifted Paris with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. Cue the Trojan war.

Zeus

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned)

The Greek God of Lightning and the head honcho of the Greek Pantheon.

Bolt of Divine Retribution: He hurled lightning bolts this way.
The Ghost: Frequently mentioned in passing by other characters.
God of Thunder: One of the most well known ones.
I Gave My Word: If there is one good thing about Zeus, is that he keeps his word. When Lugh won their fight, he relented and let the lightning bolts live in a new car.
Jerkass God: He never saw lightning bolts as anything other than weapons of destruction.
Pet the Dog: He's a prick like in the myths, but he cares for his sister Hestia. It gets to the point that he allows Hestia to have a friendship with one of the Goetias, Valac, and Anubis casually admits that he would allow Chloe to be a receptacle of Hestia's powers over anyone else.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: He didn't really care that lightning bolts were actually sentient things. Even after Lugh got them to a new car, the nature of a lightning bolt to strike down on people still remains and Zeus got the last laugh.

Lady Astrape

The daughter of Zeus and retainer of the living lightning bolts.

Chekhov's Gunman: She's mentioned once — by Easter shouting, "For the love of Lady Astrape!" — before they tell Specter a bit more about her during the first half of the Cyan Desert Car. They don't reveal the full story until the second half.
Small Role, Big Impact: She once was fused with a lightning bolt, and it was through this sensation did she realize that the lightning bolts were sentient creatures, leading her to meet up with Lugh.

Lugh

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned)

The Celtic God of Light who helped create the Living Lightning Car.

Always Accurate Attack: His most powerful weapon is a burning spear that never misses.
Ambiguous Situation: Easter notes that the "light" that Lugh controlled was either light itself or flashes of lightning during a thunderstorm.
God of Thunder: Implied; Easter mentions that Lugh could've represent the flashes of lightning during a storm.
The Good King: A kind benevolent ruler who Easter respectfully calls "King Lugh".
Light Is Good: The God of Light who helped the lightning bolts have a home of their own and is so revered that Easter does not like the idea of someone using his powers for evil.
Red Baron: "King Lugh the Long-Armed".

Quetzalcoatl

The Aztec Feathered Serpent God who would be responsible for Rey Mysterio's alignment.

Feathered Serpent: Quetzalcoatl is the most well known version of this trope.
Playing with Fire: He's associated with flames, with Rey can use when invoking his powers.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's the god Rey Mysterio is aligned to, which is how he is so powered up in Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos.

Inari

The Shinto god of rice that usually is depicated as a fox. They're currently taking a trip down the Third Rail and meeting up with their old flame.

Adaptation Name Change: Kind of. Myth typically has their name spelled as either Inari Okami or O-Inari. In here, he's simply referred to as Inari.
Amicable Exes: They once dated Marchosias and they still have get-togethers with Wepwawet's approval.
Armor-Piercing Question: When he and Chloe share a dinner together, he ends up asking her just what exactly does "Chloe of the Vermillion" entail as Chloe's character. The redhead subsequently has no concrete answer to give, and it plants the seeds of doubt that begins Chloe's quest to recover her original self.
Asian Fox Spirit: He's a kitsune Numine that will become the most well known god of the Shinto religion.
Color Motif: Red like the color of a fox's fur. They have red hair, wear a red kimono and striking red eyes.
Curtains Match the Window: Has red hair and red eyes.
Morphic Resonance: Anything they shift into will have their trademark red eyes. This makes Lexi do a double take when he initially sees Chloe in her Marchosias form...and then a second wolf enters with Chloe's signature green eyes.
Nice Guy: Is calm and gentle with Chloe as she wolfs down on stuffed tofu pouches on what it means to be Chloe of the Vermillion.
Non-Human Non-Binary: As befitting their source, Inari can appear as male, female, or in-between, and goes by they/them pronouns.
Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: Inari is a Numinae, revealed to be non-binary and uses "they" pronouns, which reflects the source material of Inari being able to change their appearance to man, woman or in-between.
Pass the Popcorn: They are eating kitsune udon during the revelation that Asher is really a prince.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. They have red eyes, but are a kind and calm soul who act pretty patiently with Chloe.
Small Role, Big Impact: By asking Chloe what it means to be Chloe of the Vermillion, he plants the seeds that makes her return to her original self as Chloe Cerise.
Trademark Favorite Food: Inarizushi, soft tofu pouches stuffed with rice, and kitsune udon, udon topped with tofu pouches.

The Goetias

Denizens on the Train that will form the basis of demons in the famous book, the Key of Solomon.

All Myths Are True: Just like the Numinae, demons do exist as denizens on the Train.
Arc Words: The Goetias are announced through the epithet of "[Name], Ranked # of the Goetias", then add "Class of X and Y".
Authority Equals Asskicking: Their ranks are an indication to their power levels. To give a comparison, remember that thing where Chloe used Marchosias' powers to turn the mirage army good? Yeah, Marchosias is Rank 35. To give a comparison, Paimon is Rank 9, Gremory is 56 and Kaito somehow has a covenant with Agares, the second of the Goetias.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: While most of the Goetias have an interest in passengers, Buné states that others see the passengers like pets. They help teach them new tricks and keep them company, but it's not their fault if passengers don't get their lessons.
Dark Is Not Evil: Many of the demons aren't bad, but as Wyn notes, they and the gods play by their own rules.
Deal with the Devil: They can make a contract with passengers called "Covenants" with a maximuum of three at a time. Unfortunately, they have a bad reputation of placing these on children like a six-year-old Kaito.
Demon Lords and Archdevils: All of them were the inspiration for the demons in the Ars Goetia and ranked from as high as King to the lowest as "President" (in this case, they mean head of a university).
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Goetias were never initially announced by their name and rank until Act 2. Chloe would initially bring their names up, but she didn't start the numbers until Cyan Desert Car.
Exact Words: A contract with a Goetia must be worded very carefully because they can and will screw it over if they find it amusing. For example, when Chloe askes Buné to free himself from Augustine, she didn't state that he also had to remove the draconic transformation left on the Professor. And when Gladion asked a fortuneteller who is also implied to be a Goetia to help those "more desperate than him", he didn't account that Grace might've been one of those passengers.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Like their source material, the Goetias can have human appearances if they so choose. The thing that separates them from normal passengers is that they can't copy numbers.
Manly Tears: According to Marchosias, Aim — a three headed Goetia that's about setting things on fire — wept these when he saw Chloe's last stand in the Ninjala Car.
Odd Friendship: Valac, Ranked 72, is a good friend of the Numinae Hestia. This is saying something since one of Hestia's brothers is Zeus and he doesn't like anyone who hurts his sister at all.
Once Done, Never Forgotten: A comment from Marchosias states that Seere is now saddled with a Blood Knight reputation after an uprising.
Marchosias: Seere puts down one uprising and now everyone thinks he’s some monster who loves fighting for the sake of it.
Our Demons Are Different: They're denizens on the Train.
Power Levels: A subtle one. The Goetias' rankings are based on the order they appear in the Lesser Key of Solomon.
Really 700 Years Old: Given that demons have been around since the days of the Bible, then it's safe to say that they're pretty long-lived. Titus says that "many years ago" is like a blink of an eye to them and Yugureaka one of the Goetias notes that Gremory has tried to get Paimon's love for a thousand years.
Related in the Adaptation: Amon and Marchosias weren't related at all, but Chloe remarks in the Palimpsest Car that they're siblings on the Train.
Rule of Three: A passenger can hold up to three covenants at a time; any more and their souls can't carry the weight of them.
The Smurfette Principle: It's not brought up but there are only three female members of the Goetias with Marchosias and Gremory being the only ones seen so far (the last one not shown being Vepar).
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: While there are numerous demons with cool powers, a list of a few of them leave little to the imagination on usefulness: Sallos is a "pacifist sailor", Sitri is only good for women, and Orias can tell one's horoscope.

Flauros

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned)

Ranked #64, the Ars Goetia demon of Vengeance, and the basis of the ritual created by the Silent Hill Trio.

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: The backstory of the Cage of Flauros involvs this.
Depower: What will happen to him if the Cage of Flauros is successful.
God's Hands Are Tied: If it were up to him, he would stop the Cage from being enacted. Unfortunately, the Fog Car does not want demonkind involved in any way possible.
The Ghost: Is only mentioned by Anubis and Marchosias in passing.
Noodle Incident: Apparently the Cage of Flauros is named after Flauros got drunk alongside Sekhmet and entrapped lesser demons in a seal because they got annoyed by his "drunken debauchery".
Small Role, Big Impact: He once trapped lesser demons in a cage; said cage will be used to trap the Apex.
Weak, but Skilled: Out of the 72 demons of the Goetia, he's on the lower end — even lower than Gremory at 56. However he's still got enough power that the denizens of Silent Hill want to make an Apex slaying ritual based on a cage he created to trap lesser demons.

Marchosias

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (Mentioned, First appearance: The Palimpsest Car) | Rey Mysterio versus the Cosmos (Debut)

The Ars Goetia wolf demon who is "deceived of all hope" to ascend to Heaven. She is ranked #35 of the Goetias.

Amicable Exes: With non-binary Inari as the two have get togethers with Wepwawet's permission.
Ascended Extra: Like Wepwawet, she's only mentioned by the name of Chloe's cloak in Blossoming Trail, but she's real in the verse where Seeker of Crocus takes place.
Boyish Short Hair: She has this in her human form.
The Dreaded: Is considered this to Asher due to doing something that made him afraid of her and fire. When they meet in the Palimpsest Car, Asher is screaming for her to get away from him.
Foreshadowing: Her existence, and by that of the Goetias, was hinted way back in the Ninjala Car. Asher wouldn't have been terrified of her seal unless he actually has met the real Marchosias after all.
The Ghost: Frequently mentioned in the narrative, but never seen. She makes her first physical appearance in Rey Mysterio vs. the Cosmos before appearng in during the second act of Crocus.
Happily Married: She's married to Wepwawet.
Heroic Resolve: Wepwawet tells Chloe that one of Marchosias' specialties is inner strength. This is what helped Chloe in her World-Healing Wave, as it was her love for Yamper and the strength of her heart that saved the Mirage mons.
Hypocrisy Nod: When Titus notes that the Goetias and Numinae are only getting involved when the machinations of the Apex are going to affect their own kind, she notes that how unfair it is but also because they can't risk the likes of Elipzo unleashing their own brand of justice.
Little Bit Beastly: Her human form gives her red wolf ears and and matching tail.
Mix-and-Match Critter: She's depicted as a wolf with gryphon wings if Chloe's cloak is to go by.
Noble Wolf: She's a benevolent wolf demon, according to Wyn. This is definitely evident in the Ninjala Car where an astral projection of her looks down at the brainwashed mirage army with something akin to sympathy.
Noodle Incident: For her husband's cloak to work, she had to lose lots of her fur for it. She turns red in embarrassment when Inari brings this up.
Playing with Fire: She's depicted as breathing fire.
Purple Prose: Her way of speaking involves strange similes. For example, she considers the components for the Cage of Flauros like melted candles.
Red Is Heroic: A Noble Wolf with red fur.
Thinking Up Portals: She can create portals to teleport from place to place.

Paimon

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

The 9th Ranked of the Goetias who appears as a handsome man riding a camel. He is introduced in the Cyan Desert Car and is the former mentor of Asher.

Affably Evil: Downplayed on "evil" but he's quite jovial and willing to give Yuri food to eat when he's traumatized on meeting a Demon King. However when he's significantly pissed off, his voice takes on an icy tone.
Berserk Button: He takes food very seriously and wants to take the time for anyone who makes it for him.
Beware the Silly Ones: He's depicted as a handsome man with a thing for pies and a boisterous personality. He's also amongst the top ten of the Goetias with the rank of King, and manipulates Augustine's mind to remove the memories of his spiteful anger against Chloe and Specter like it's child play.
Chekhov's Gunman: Chloe mentions him in the first part of the Cyan Desert Car when talking about a story she was going to write for the festival while Kaito brings up his nickname in Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos.
Edible Theme Naming: Kinda; his nicknames revolve around pies and his camel is named Shukula, the Arabic word for chocolate.
The Good King: Somewhat; his rank in the Goetias is King and he's quite benevolent and jovial despite him being loyal to Lucifer.
In-Series Nickname: Kaito called him "Pie-san" in the past, Yuri nicknames him "Pie-demon" and Gremory calls him "Pie-chan".
Mind Manipulation: Paimon's ability is to "bend the minds of men to his will", which is where Asher got his skills from. He shows this by making Augustine forget his hatred and desires to restart the world at the Act 2 Prelude.
Oblivious to Love: He's been unaware of Gremory's feelings for him for a thousand years and sees her as a close friend.
Running Gag: Whenever someone calls Paimon "Pie-san", others think of a chibi person and a camel eating a slice of pie.
Small Role, Big Impact: He's only in the Cyan Desert Car as a judge, and the food. But he's responsible for ensuring Augustine doesn't go off the deep end for Act 2 by making him forget his anger and hatred for Chloe and Specter.
Stealth Pun: He has a parade of brass men playing trumpets, which are brass instruments.
Trademark Favorite Food: He's first seen eating a type of cheese-stuffed pie called fatayer jebneh and Yugure said that he made some assorted meat and chickpea pies too. This is presumably where his "Pie-san" nickname comes from.

Gremory

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First Appearance: The Cyan Desert Car)

A member of the Goetia, ranked #56, depicted as a woman riding a camel and partner of Paimon. Also introduced in the Cyan Desert Car.

Accomplice by Inaction: She did absolutely nothing to stop Amelia from causing chaos as the false Conductor for over thirty years.
Ambiguous Situation: Given how her main skill is fortunetelling, was her remark on Amelia not able to find love at her age a subtle nudge to help her to move forward as an act of forgiveness over how Gremory's vaguely worded fortune being the reason Amelia's reign as Conductor came to be? Or was she simply rubbing it into Amelia's face that she was untouchable? In the Palimpsest Car, Amelia gradually understands how she can't be with her Alrich ever again and accepts that it's time to move forward but there's no word about her considering Gremory's words or not.
Be as Unhelpful as Possible: Not only did she give Amelia nothing but vague answers back when she was younger, but then stood completely still as the woman went on to cause thirty years of pain and misery as the false Conductor, and her only response when this gets brought up is to say she warned them.
Cassandra Truth: She told Amelia that the Train will never give her what she wants. Amelia ignored it, spent thirty years for nothing and created chaos in her wake. She later clarifies by stating that the Infinity Train wouldn't give it to her, she just had to travel to a specific car — the Palimpsest Car — the entire time.
Chekhov's Gunman: Like with Paimon above, Chloe mentioned she was going to write a short story involving her.
Composite Character: She has Mr. Bradbury's Smug Snake and I Warned You tendencies.
Crystal Ball: Fitting for a fortune-teller, she carries one. She can use it as a personal weapon by having it float in the air and fire beams of light at her targets.
Exact Words:
- She once told Amelia that "this Train" will not give her what she wanted. She meant that the Infinity Train wouldn't give her Alrick, but a train in one of the cars was capable of doing so.
- Chloe tells Asher that Gremory wouldn't kill them as long as he was connected to Paimon. Gremory agrees...but then adds there was nothing saying against testing the heroes in a fight.
Expy: A desert-based fortune teller who uses a crystal ball as a weapon? Maybe Gremory would be great friends with Menat.
Fortune Teller: She dresses in silk robes and is good at divination.
Hidden Depths: She adored the traveler Ibn Battuta because he was so enthusiastic about his side trips.
Improbable Weapon User: She's a master of divination. Thus if she can read your fortunre with it, she can kick your ass with it too. In her fight with the Windchasers, the Red Lotus Uprising and Specter/Easter, she uses a bag of coins and her crystal ball.
Irony: Despite liking how she's warned people when they mess up and can never accept the truth, she's been oblivious and in denial to the fact that Paimon and she are not becoming an item for a millennium or so.
I Warned You: She likes to bring it up that she did give warnings but everyone ignored her.
Gremory: Humans never like to hear the truth and when the truth is given later, they whine and bitch about it being told when everything hits the fan.
Jerkass Has a Point: She was being downright unsympathetic when she told Amelia that she wasn't going to find love at her age, but she does make an accurate point on it. By the time Amelia makes it to the Palimpsest Car to find a copy of Alrich, she realizes she can't have this life because the Alrich in front of her and the one she wants are two different people. Ultimately, Amelia decides to move on but is grateful to have one more moment with her Alrich.
Malicious Misnaming: Downplayed in that it's not mean, but she constantly keeps calling Yugure different names like Yuki, Yugi and Yogurt. Justified because she knows that this is Auric aka one of the Goetias himself.
Money Mauling: She can manipulate coins like it was water to grab opponents or smother them in a giant coin tsunami.
No Sympathy: Doesn't give any pity to Amelia at all, specifically about how she's not going to find love in her age.
Pet the Dog: She states that she decided to not give Ibn Batutta — the historical figure, not Yuri's Persona — his fortune, but instead told him he'll have an exciting life.
Poor Communication Kills: She decides to not clarify her fortune to Amelia and tell her that "Don't use the Infinity Trian to be with Alrick, just go to a certain car and you'll live happily ever after".
Proud Beauty: She proudly flaunts that men give her lots of money for her looks.
Smug Snake: She loves rubbing it in on who her skills in fortune-telling and predictions, combined with passengers too stubborn to believe her about how it brings about their downfall.
True Blue Femininity: She wears blue silks and is one of three female Goetias.
The Unapologetic: She positively refuses to apologize for not doing anything to stop Amelia's thirty years of chaos as the false Conductor, even going so far as to blame Amelia for not asking more specific questions.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Not only did she give Amelia the prophecy of "The train will never give you what she want" but she neither 1) clarified that she was trying to nudge her to a certain car nor 2) stopped Amelia from her thirty year rule that created the Apex and all the trauma that came with it.
Weak, but Skilled: Her main abilities involve reading the past, present and future, bringing love to women and finding jewels. But the thing is, there are numerous types of divination so all she has to do is find something and she can whack you across the head with it. Also take note that Gremory is ranked 56 out of 72 in the Goetia.
Witch with a Capital "B": Amelia's first words to her are "YOU WITCH!" and she has such a smug personality on her.
You Didn't Ask: When she gets rightfully called out over doing absolutely nothing to stop Amelia as the false Conductor, her only real response is to say the former Conductor should've been a bit more specific in her questions.

Agares

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: Act 2 Prelude)

The Duke of earthquakes and runaways and second ranked of the Goetia who has a covenant with Kaito

Beware the Silly Ones: He's depicted as an old man on a crocodile; he's also the second-ranked of the Goetias. For comparison, Auric is supposedly a demonic dragon in the twenties and Chloe's favorite Demon is ranked 35.
Dishing Out Dirt: His specialty is earthquakes.
Easily Forgiven: Nope. Kaito is not willing to forgive Agares for tricking him to make a covenant when he was six so soon. Agares, for his part, knows that he will have to work hard to earn forgiveness.
Expy: Parker describes him like King Bumi, being an eccentric old man with an affinity of earth who actually holds a lot of power despite his appearance.
The Ghost: He's only referenced in the Act 1 Intermission before appearing in Act 2.
Horrifying the Horror: He's the second strongest of the Goetias and yet six year old Gloria scared him to death through the use of uncontrollable demon magic to the point that her leaving the Train was an Arceus-send for him.
In-Series Nickname: Gloria and Victor call him "Krookadile-Kook".
Irony: He's the second ranked Goetia. The kid he made the covenant to is Kaito, who wishes to be the world's first.
Mythology Gag: He's dressed like a pure white version of Kaito when he makes his first physical appearance, mimicking how the Creator would take on that very same image in the finale of Zenkaigers.
Never Smile at a Crocodile: He's known for sitting on the back of a crocodile and Gloria and Victor's nickname calls him "Krookadile kook".
Noodle Incident: He riled up Gloria so much on her train trip that she unleashed a rampage of demon magic that terrified him.
- He apparently pissed off Quetzalcoatl once, which somehow relates to whatever incident Rey Mysterio fought prior to Crocus.
The Prankster: Asher calls him one due to how he tricked Kaito (age 6 at the time) to make a covenant with him under the guise of a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Small Role, Big Impact: He had the role of giving Kaito a covenant which became important for Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos.

Malphas and Raum

Ranked #39 and #40 of the Goetias, Malphas is the best archiect of the Goetias, currently serving a covenant with a king, while Raum is known as an excellent thief.

Chekhov's Gunman: Malphas was mentioned back in the Chocolate Car, back when Chloe got Amelia to "dress up" as Malphas (Really putting on black feathery costume wings) for the Fashion Runway Car's challenge.
Creepy Crows: Both of them are crow based demons with Malphas being described as a skeletal crow with a giant freaking bird skull. However, he's willing to help Simon reach with the king he's currently contracted to because the king is Milton Finch and Simon has news that his sister, Edith, is dead.
Exact Words: Raum tells Asher that the treasure of the Royal Aviary Car, an egg, can never be recovered. Because Asher hatched from that very egg.
Good Parents: The two of them raised Asher with plenty of love.
Happily Married: Both of them are in a loving relationship, according to Asher.
Interspecies Adoption: Maybe. Asher, a shadow, was somehow adopted into their care which doesn't make any sense since Asher always remembered that he was from the TV World Car. Turns out it's less adoption and, "stole Asher as an egg — for he's really a bird-like denizen — and decided not to bring him back to his parents."
In the Hood: Malphas wears a tattered black cloak.
Noble Demon: Malphas makes small talk with Simon and looks past him being part of the Apex to help the Apex co-leader deliver the news to Milton Finch that his sister is dead.
Noodle Incident: Raum got the ire of the Royal Aviary Car for stealing an egg from them. Said egg was their son, Prince Armand Vrana Alchiba...aka Asher of the Windchasers!
Persona Non Grata: Raum is not allowed in the Royal Aviary Car for stealing their most prized possession. Said possession? The prince of said car.
Painting the Medium: Malphas speaks with a deep booming voice to which Simon immediately calls it a "dark voice speaking with bold emphasis".
Red Baron: Malphas is "Earl of Earthworks and Citadels".
Small Role, Big Impact: Raum stole an egg from a little place called the Royal Aviary Car. Said egg would contain a child that would grow up to be Asher.
Unseen No More: After referenced and seen in flashback, Malphas appears at the end of the Harvest Moon Car.
Walking Spoiler: Describing the two as anything other than Goetias is going to massively spoil the truth about Asher.

Buné (Unmarked Spoilers)

"The world can be cruel and meaningless, but the future doesn't have to be."

Ranked #26 of the Goetias, Buné is a three-headed dragon Goetia who holds multiple jobs. He's the Harvest King, a barista, and he's also the teacher of a certain shadow.

Adaptation Species Change: A variant; in normal texts, he is a dragon with three non-dragon heads: human, dog and gryphon. In the story, all three heads are draconic like.
Collector of the Strange: His Dragon Hoard has other strange things like suitcases and clothes and plastic tea cups alongside the traditional gold and jewels.
Cooldown Hug: Hugs Chloe in order to kill the spiteful front she's kept for most of the story. It manages to help break her out of her shell.
Demonic Possession: As a result of the Halo of Valac (which calls the soul of the demon to possess someone), he ends up taking over Augustine for most of the Harvest Moon Car until Chloe rats him out with sugar.
Exact Words: He vows to help Chloe put her out of her misery. Chloe is expecting Buné to kill her, same with Asher, but the dragon gives her a hug instead. As he says, he's killing the spiteful front Chloe puts up.
Everyone Has Standards: He's a Goetia but he does not like the idea of seeing a child wanting to kill themselves. He gives a talk to Sara to help her get through her Never My Fault mentality and he hugs Chloe to help her rid herself of the spiteful persona that prevented her from moving forward.
Auric: [about Sara] For all that she did, she does not deserve to die. She deserves to be placed somewhere where she can't do harm and can work on herself.
Fake Assisted Suicide: Chloe asks him to kill her by chopping head clean off. Instead, he swipes down to give her a well-deserved hug and empathy so she can finally start forgiving herself.
Foreshadowing: A massive one in regards to his actions towards Chloe in the Harvest Moon Car. As Auric, he was the one who stopped Asher before he made Sara want to kill herself by having a talk with her. As Buné, he takes Chloe's wish to "put an end to my misery" by hugging her and giving her compassion, so he kills her spiteful persona.
Full-Name Basis: He calls Chloe Cerise by her full name out of respect for her decision to work on her true self.
Gentle Giant: In contrast to his appearance of a massive, three-headed dragon with black scales who happens to be a Goetia, he is kind and sympathetic to Chloe's pains and helps her confront her pains on wanting to die if it means she'll find some sort of peace in the next life, even going as far as to hug her instead of following with her request to have her head chopped off.
Good Counterpart: To the Cat. Both of them are known to be hoarders and have multiple businesses (Buné has a café and his job as Harvest King, whereas The Cat had the Lucky Cat Car and a saloon in Book 4), but how they treat their fellow passengers are different. The Cat is deceitful and only cares for her own needs, abandoning Simon to save her own skin. Even when confronted about it, she said that she didn't mean to abandon Simon, but rather just ran...which still doesn't excuse the fact that she never came searching for Simon for eight years. She also knew what the numbers were meant to do, but still didn't bother to do anything about it, and is a Non-Action Guy. In contrast, Buné is firm but patient towards others (particularly Sara) and helps people confront the darkness by helping them accept their sadness and pain hiding behind grief. While the Cat insists on wanting something in exchange for her help, to the point Tulip altruistically helping her is quite alien, Buné does not demand tributes from Chloe yet accepts her gift (a red lotus wood carving) to him. The irony is that the Cat is pure white, and Buné is a massive black dragon.
Multiple Head Case: Chloe describes him as having three heads. The train version of him has three dragon heads instead of the human/dog/gryphon ones in most books.
Real Men Hate Sugar: In a case of irony, as he runs a café, but it turns out he can't handle sweet things. Chloe makes a nice tomato tart with goat chees on top and it's sweet enough for him to spit it out.
Red Baron: Grand Duke of the Dead.
The Sacred Darkness: While most Goetias fall into a category of Dark Is Not Evil, Buné is shown to have empathy for those who are troubled, particularly children. He helps embody the idea of not being afraid to confront the dark thoughts in one's mind, to let go of their sadness and anger that hides their grief, and to start making amends to those they hurt, being straightforward but compassionate to their problems.
Trademark Favorite Food: Befitting a dragon with fire breath, he loves chili peppers and anything spicy.
Two Aliases, One Character: He's normally Buné, but he also holds a job as Auric the barista, Yugure from the Cyan Desert Car, and the Harvest King.
Walking Spoiler: Mentioning him spoils a lot of the actions of his previous identities.

Bifrons

Appeas in: The Firefly Funhouse Car (Mentioned)

Rank #46, Bifrons is an Earl who was known to hang around graveyards and summon magic candles.

Light 'em Up: His special ability was to create 'magic candles'.

Korai

Larkspur: We are...information banks. We carry the knowledge of...the train and the cars.

A collection of statues who are walking information banks across the Train.

Cannot Dream: The korai are incapable of dreaming because of all of them sharing the same mental connections. This becomes a plot point for Lampetia; she keeps dreaming an image of a man in a monochrome beach, but no other korai has seen this image before.
Gem Heart: If a korai gets too much damage, they turn into this and will regenerate their bodies after some time.
Living Statue: Just like the real-life statues they're based off of, except they walk and talk and share information with one another.
One-Gender Race: The korai are female, like their real-life inspiration.
Verbal Tic: Every korai has one different from the others.
- Larkspur: Likes to...pause...at certain intervals.
- Lantern: She looooves to draw ouuuuut her words.
- Lampetia: Has a really fun one~

Lampetia

See her tropes here.

Larkspur

"My partner...was Gladion Montblanc. Knight of...the Orange Lily. It was...because of...me...that he wanted to slay...the Apex."

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First apperance: The Elephant Teapot Car)

A kore who is the receptionist at a hotel in the Elephant Teapot Car and former partner of Gladion Montblanc.

Adaptational Angst Upgrade: She thoroughly blames herself for everything that happened with Gladion because she told him who the Apex are whereas she never vocalizes this at all in the original Blossomverse.
Adaptational Early Appearance: She didn't appear in Blossoming Trail until the end of the Cyan Desert Car. Here, she makes her appearance in the Elephant Teapot Car while Cyan Desert Car ends up being the final car of Act 1.
Adaptational Job Change: She had no job when she first appeared in Blossoming Trail (in Knight of the Orange Lily it was assumed she was a caretaker/babysitter for Margaret and her (deceased) son) whereas she's a hotel receptionist here.
Demoted to Extra: She had a prominent role as Gladion's initial partner in Knight of the Orange Lily, whereas she only has a bit role explaining what she did with Gladion.
Females Are More Innocent: When compared to Lillie, she's actually more innocent in what happened to Gladion and the near destruction of the Infinity Train as she never spites nor bad-mouthed him. However, she deeply blames herself for bringing up the Apex to him, which would've caused his doomed quest in the first place.
Flower Motif: Like Gladion, she's associated with orange lilies because he gifted them to her.
It's All My Fault: She blames herself for why Gladion became so gung-ho about stopping the Apex; if she never told Gladion about it, he wouldn't have gotten the idea to tackle them.
Stealth Hi/Bye: Her specialty, to the point that Yuri nicknames her a "Weeping Angel".
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Admits that everything that happened with White Gestalt is her fault because it's she who told Gladion everything about the Apex that spurred him to take them down and everything else that follows.

Lantern

“I’mmmmmm LANTERN! Aaaaaaand as I said, I'm here for everything you need. Current news on the Train when you don't get Infinet device on you? Iiiiiiii got them! Lost and need a shortcut? Iiiiiiii can show you in every car I know! Just turn to me and I'lllllllllllllllllll turn you towards your destination!"

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First apperance: Routine arc - The Lumberjack Car) | Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos

A cheery kore who calls herself the "Green Informant". She's first seen in the Lumberjacks Car.

Airplane Arms: Performs these when she meets up with the Apex.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's a hyperactive kore high on sugar who dresses too much like she's a super secret agent, tendency to draw out her words, and drives the Apex off the wall to the point that they refuse to play her games and walk off in disgust. Turns out that she's also in league with a strange figure/Indigo who is planning on testing Chloe and Sycamore in the future.
The Cameo: Due to her nature as an informant, she makes nameless cameos, but is easily identified with her Verbal Tic.
- She's hidden in plain sight in the Boutique Street Car helping Indigo with his heist.
- She makes a nameless one in Rey Mysterio vs the Cosmos, handing Matt Hardy a business card while he's in the Canals of Fondue Car.
Color Motif: Green of course. Her outfit is completely green, she has green eyes and her nickname is Green Informant.
Domino Mask: She wears a green one of these.
Exact Words: She carries around a tablet. As in the stone kind, not the phone kind.
Incoming Ham: She makes her enrance by drawing out her words like a game-show host to the Apex.
Knowledge Broker: Her specialty; she'll give you all the info you need for the equivalent price.
Non-Indicative Name: She's named Lantern but she carries a tablet as her main item. She lampshades how often others comment on it.
Red Baron: "The Green Informant".
Shout-Out: According to the authors notes, her appearance (red hair, green eyes, green domino mask along with the matching coat, gloves and boots) was based off of Daemona Prune from Phantom Investigators.
Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Has green eyes and red hair which is based on the character she's a reference to.
Stealth Pun: Given the color she wears and her name, it's easy to mistake her for a Green Lantern.
V-Sign: She's first seen giving this to the Apex.

Lotus

Appears in: Seeker of Crocus (First appearance: Routine Arc - The Night Garden Car)

A storyteller in the Night Garden Car.

Ascended Extra: She was only referenced in Knight of the Orange Lily through Lampetia and Larkspur, but makes a full appearance in this story.
Die Laughing: Or at least "get turned into a heart laughing" but she laughs at Avery's face in regards to how she already got under his skin in regards to a denizen named Kyler terrifying him and this info is already spread to her sisters.
Non-Action Guy: She has no fighting skills whatsoever whereas she had Healing Hands in Knight of the Orange Lily. Even if she could fight, it wouldn't have stopped Avery or Elipzo anyhow.
Pink Is Feminine: When poofed, her crystal heart is bright pink.
Purple Prose: She's known to speak in flowery language when she converses with Hazel.
The Storyteller: She's initially labeled as this before her name is finally dropped in the Cyan Desert Car arc.
Throw the Book at Them: She smacks Avery across the head with her (stone) book as a distraction.

Other

Mirage Pokémon

Artificial Pokémon created by Dr. Yung using technology from the Train. After Chloe saves them, these Pokémon can become partners to denizens and passengers alike.

Artificial Human: Artificial Pokémon, actually, but they were created by Dr. Yung using some Train technology.
Easily Forgiven: Despite all the damage they did to the Ninjala Car and Mirage Mewtwo nearly killing Chloe, there's no ill will from the denizens as they were all just brainwashed pawns by Dr. Yung.
Expy: Dr. Yung is one to Dick Hardly, thus they are equivalent to his Power Puff Girls Xtreme clones as they are artificial creations in the likeness of Pokémon only used for a sole purpose — Dick made his clones for greed, Yung to show off the power and might of creations — and ultimately turned good once they see an example of true love (the PPG Xtreme via Utonium stating his love for his daughters while Chloe was able to show them a vision of hope and love of seeing her reunite with Yamper). They also get to live, unlike the Xtreme clones.
The Heavy: While Yung is the Arc Villain for the Ninjala Car, it's his army that does most of the fighting.
Heel–Face Turn: Thanks to Chloe's love and the powers of the god and demon in her cloak, she finds a path for them of love and kindness over power and destruction.
Immune to Mind Control: Mirage Mewtwo is immune to Asher's Brain Jack spell; the same that turned some other mirages into mindless cannibals. However, they're not immune to feeling emotions of love and compassion.
Mirror Character: To Class 5-E, surprisingly. A group who blindly follow a sociopath to hurt Chloe with the difference is that Mirage Pokémon don't know right and wrong as they're programmed to follow Dr. Yung's commands, while Chloe comments that her classmates have the ability to perceive what is good and evil but chose to keep doubling down because they loved being cruel to her. The Mirage Pokémon quickly see the error of their ways while the classmates dance around the subject until they have no choice but to admit they're at fault. And finally, the Mirage Pokémon are forgiven and integrated onto the Train easily, while Chloe's classmates have to actually work on themselves and barely anyone is forgiving them for their stupidity.
Mundane Utility: Lexi notes that many of them can be useful in Azada: Mareep's tail is a good nightlamp, Fire-types can be used for cooking and those with Psychic can help move furniture around. In the Cyan Desert Car Part 2, there are advertisements where they are show doing just that.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Mirage Mewtwo uses Psychic to repeatedly slam Chloe into a window with enough force to break it.
The Power of Love: Discussed; Chloe assumes that her final thought of expressing love to Yamper before she died is what helped them turned good. Wepwawet reveals that's the truth. By channeling that love for Yamper in the hopes of finding a different path, she helped them find a life that's not about being killing machines
Power Copying: The mirage system has access to all data inside and allows Mirage Mewtwo access attacks from any mon that's been saved. This is seen when his hands transform into the heads of whatever move he's using (like when he gets Aerodactyl heads to unleash Giga Impact on Chloe.)
Psychic Strangle: Per Dr. Yung's orders, Mirage Mewtwo tries to choke the life out of Chloe to prove a point that she's a lesser being than he is and to make her stop mouthing out at her.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: When under Yung's control, their eyes turn red.
Theres No Kill Like Over Kill: After being slighted by one of Chloe's insults, Yung commands them to slaughter her into paste. Thankfully Chloe taps into the power of her cloak to free them.
Turned Against Their Masters: Thanks to Chloe, they are freed of Dr. Yung's control and end up as denizens in the Ninjala Car.
Walking Spoiler: Stating that they appear on the Train is fine but it's what after Chloe does to them that is the spoiler.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Chloe has an internal debate about the nature of their very being; they don't have free will and are just used as tools by Dr. Yung. She even notes that they're even more pitiful than her classmates because the army doesn't know right from wrong while the classmates know what they did was wrong and didn't care about the consequences until they were exposed for their crimes. It's this desire to free them that lets Chloe turn them into denizens, free from Dr. Yung's clutches.
Would Hit a Girl: More like "Would turn a girl into a bloody smear" but same principle when they decide to incinerate Chloe with the likes of Hydro Pump, Flamethrower and Thunderbolt.
Would Hurt a Child: On Dr. Yung's orders they were ready to turn Chloe into a bloody smear. Thank goodness for her Cloak ex Machina.
Zerg Rush: They rush in with the numbers game having them go toe-to-toe with the Ninja Gum empowered denizens.
Zombie Apocalypse: Their attack in Ninjala Car Part 3 is akin to this: numerous monsters that can't be taken down so easily and their use of Recover makes them even harder to kill.

Utahoshi

London: Little Miss Gracie — aka Grace Monroe, founder of the Apex — shanked him with a knife to the head on the day he was supposed to take the throne and she didn’t even care about what she did.

The former White Rabbit in the 400 Rabbits Car. He never got to rule thanks to a knife to the head, courtesy of Grace Monroe.

Kill the Cutie: He was nothing but a sweet caring rabbit that was killed out of spite by one know-it-all Apex den-mother just to prove she's the baddest bitch in the building.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: His existence and death by Grace's hands was one of the biggest shocks of early Knight of the Orange Lily whereas it's calmly revealed by London in this story.
Mirror Character: To Atticus. They're a talking animal leader of their cars who try to protect a denizen partner they are close with before they are killed. The main difference is that Amelia shot Atticus and turned him into a Ghom, which Tulip was able to reverse. However, Grace shanked Utahoshi with a knife that is basically kryptonite to everything non-human and there's no cure for him. Atticus was established as having ruled Corginia for a while, Utahoshi never even got to rule for a single day.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: After knocking the Apex away, when they decided to ruin his ceremony of being the White Rabbit and bullied Tokio, he turned his back to help give Tokio reassurance. Unfortunately, his back was turned and he never saw Grace with her knife....
Posthumous Character: He's already dead by the time the story starts.
Sacrificial Lamb: He was a sweet soul whose death by Grace's knife signified that no one was safe from her apathy.
Shout-Out Theme Naming: Like Kisaragi is named after the main character of Kamen Rider Fourze, Gentaro Kisagari, he's named after the Mission Control of Fourze, Kengo Utahoshi.
Small Role, Big Impact: His presence affected Tokio and his best friend, Kisaragi. And his death by Grace's hands cemented her as a horrible person who would attack an innocent rabbit because she could.
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: He was a sweet, kind rabbit who wanted to rule his car peacefully. Then Grace shanked him just cause she couldn't care less as to who got in her way.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: He was a kind rabbit who wanted to lead his people. Grace saw him as another Null and gave no fucks about killing him except her lame excuse of "protecting" Tokio and even denies even killing him in front of Amelia.

Luci-san

An enigmatic denizen that Kaito mentioned. Also goes by the name of Lucifer.

Ambiguously Evil: It's hard to get a take on whether he's as evil as the Bible says he is. Lio himself is horrified at the idea of Lucifer running amuck on the Train.
The Ghost: He's referenced by both Kaito and Paimon but he doesn't make appearances. Paimon states that he's busy with his own stuff.
In-Series Nickname: Again, Kaito calls him "Luci-san".
Story-Breaker Power: It's Lucifer, a fallen angel that has enough power to smite everything he chooses. He's off on his own affairs to even care about the Apex.

Oberon

King of the fairies who hosts plenty of gatherings.

The Fair Folk: He is the king of the fairies.
The Ghost: Marchosias mentioned him in the Palimpsest Car.
Noodle Incident: Whatever happened in the last gathering he hosted is this as Marchoias mentions a "last time".
Shout-Out: Oberon who hosts gatherings? Has this happened before?
