Due to the nature of the Puyo Puyo franchise, groups of characters are split off into different folders or pages. There's also a separate page for characters exclusive to Madou Monogatari, the dungeon-crawling RPG series of games that Puyo Puyo spawned from.
As the overwhelming majority of the Puyo Puyo cast is present in Puyo Puyo!! Quest, their card color(s) from that game will be noted on their respective profiles.
Be warned of spoilers for Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop as it has just come out. They will be marked, but still.

Characters Introduced in Puyo Puyo Chronicle
Ally
Character Color: Green
Voice Actor: Honoka Inoue (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)
- Love conquers all!
A self-proclaimed adventurer that is looking for a prophesied hero, who helps Arle and Carbuncle return to their home world. She believes that everything can be solved using the power of love.
- Artificial Stupidity: As of Puyo Puyo Champions, she can no longer rotate her Puyo. Strangely enough, this isn't the first similarity she has to Skeleton-T or Dapper Bones: she shares a dropset with both characters, albeit not a chaining type/power (Ally's stronger out of Fever, the skeletons are stronger in Fever).
- But Now I Must Go: Against Amitie's objections, Ally decides to return to her own world at the end of Amitie and the Girl of Love at the risk of losing her memories of her friends in Primp Town, feeling that she is needed back home.
- The Call Has Bad Reception: It is heavily implied in the games and novels (and outright confirmed in Quest) that she is the "Great Hero" that is destined to save her storybook world by filling it with love, but due to various circumstances, such as Satan messing with the text of her story, or her own overblown respect for others, she always ends up assigning the title to people other than herself.
- The Chosen One: Heavily implied to be the "Great Hero, destined to fill the world with love", though she is unaware of this and keeps assigning the title to others.
- Demoted to Extra: In Tetris 2, compared to her role as the main character in Chronicle, she has no bearing at all with the main plot. Her only appearance in Adventure Mode is in a Chapter 6 side story, helping the recently restored Marle regain power.
- "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Ally's voice actor, Honoka Inoue, performs the theme song of Chronicle.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Ally makes an appearance in Quest before her official release in Chronicle, via the "Ally's Impossible Adventure!?" Story Quest.
- Healer Signs On Early: She's the first party member that joins Arle in Chronicle, and comes with her healing abilities to ensure a smooth start on Arle's adventure.
- Heart Beatdown: Her two spells "Brave Heart" and "Love's Light." The former is shooting a heart, the latter being a ring of it.
- Inconsistent Spelling: Like past characters with complications over the letters "L" and "R", she's been called Arie, Alie, and Allie. According to official merchandise, Ally is the intended spelling, but since Allie (which was the listed spelling prior) is a legitimate variant of the name, the latter is technically not incorrect.
- Love Freak: To the point that she easily gives the Trope Namer, Flonne, a run for her money.
- The Medic: A recurring trait of hers when skills come into play. Her Skill Battle Skill in Chronicle is a heal and she also buffs her allies' defense. This carries over into Tetris 2, which gives her different types of HP Recovery skills. In Puyo Quest, her base card can turn Yellow Puyos into Heart Boxes (which heal HP when cleared), and her leader skill is a passive Gradual Regeneration effect.
- Mysterious Waif: She's specifically described as mysterious, and her goal is to find a "prophesied hero".
- Redhead In Green: She has red hair (albeit a bit more orange than Ringo's), and wears a green dress.
- The Power of Love: Her Puyo Quest and Chronicle skill is "Love All", and it's also evident in her catch phrase. Her victory pose in Chronicle is even her holding out a heart. She can easily put Risukuma's "I love you." chain theme to shame.
- Secret-Keeper: In the story quest "Ally's Impossible Adventure!?" of Quest, Ally becomes this for Risukuma after witnessing his head fall off of his body, revealing whatever is underneath his fur. She herself even admits that no one would believe her if she told them what she just saw. This becomes deconstructed following her amnesia dealt by Risukuma's invention which sends her back to her own world, with virtually no memory of the events of her Story Quest, including that of her witnessing Risukuma's true appearance.
- Shipper on Deck: Played for Laughs in Amitie and the Girl of Love. Because of her own exotic and broad definition of love (as well as the cast's general unawareness of it), she ends up misunderstanding relationships left and right and flustering everybody involved. It happens with:
- Schezo/Arle, falling for Schezo's signature unfortunate declarations in regards to Arle. To be fair to her, she's not the first to make this mistake.
- Dark Prince/Rulue, unaware that it's just an one-sided fantasy on the latter's part.
- Schezo/Rulue, as she apparently has no idea that the concept of Vitriolic Best Buds (what Arle essentially describes their relationship as) is a thing.
- Klug/Amitie, because they were having a "passionate" discussion.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Uses Dapper Bones's Dropset in both Chronicle and Champions.
- Theme Naming: Her name continues the tradition of protagonists with the letter "A" incorporated in the start of their name, like Arle, Amitie, and Andou Ringo before her. You can technically count Rafisol as her "R" companion, but strangely enough, she still lacks an "S".
- Took a Level in Badass: Her AI in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is leaps and bounds better than her AI in both of her previous appearances. Rather than being an early game character, she's unlockable and has AI comparable to boss level characters.
- The novels also point out how much better Ally has gotten at the game ever since the events of Chronicle, since even with her recollection of ever Puyo Battling damaged, her muscle memory is still good enough to let her play on-par with her friends. Arle, Amitie and Ringo, who can't remember that they were the ones who taught Ally how to play Puyo in first place at this point, are impressed.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: That pendant she has? It's actually an Artifact of Doom that inverts love power, which leads to the creation of Rafisol. And since Ally is all about the power of love, this is completely inevitable. Why does she have it? ECOLO GAVE IT TO HER.
Rafisol
Character Color: Purple
Voice Actor: Mao Ichimichi (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)
- I am the usurper...
- Artificial Brilliance: If Quick Drop is available in Chronicle during ANY match a CPU Rafisol is involved in, she will use it, making her even more dangerous than the traditional Superboss Carbuncle.
- Big Bad: Of Chronicle.
- Blow You Away: Summons a dark tornado for her Take Over spell.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: Initially during the post-game. Her plan to get some curry for Carbuncle was going to involve conquering a world that had curry, instead of getting it through more mundane means.
- Breaking Old Trends:
- She's the first doppelganger character in the series to ever undergo a Heel–Face Turn.
- She's also the first character in the series whose AI can use Quick Drop even if the "Core AI" code is not activated. She retains this trait in Champions, albeit shared with Dark Prince.
- Clone Angst: It's hinted that she loathes her own existence in the post-game campaign.
- Combat Pragmatist: All of her spells are themed around pragmatism, with names such as "Hide", "Snatch", "Take Over", "Domination" and "Disorder". This even carries over into the story; she outright assaults Ally after being defeated in a desperate attempt to survive.
- Dark Is Not Evil: After her Heel–Face Turn in the post-game.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Initially, she appears to be very cold-hearted with no qualms against causing destruction, but after her defeat and in the post-game campaign, she starts to warm up to others, even expressing that she wants a happy life loved by others despite being a manifestation of darkness.
- Defeat Means Friendship: After her defeat, she starts warming up to Ally and the others.
- Demoted to Extra: While Rafisol, unlike other Evil Counterpart characters in the series, has been playable in every game since her debut, she has no story presence in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and is not even mentioned by Ally.
- Emotionless Girl: Rarely expresses her emotions. As it turns out, she deliberately suppresses them out of the belief that she doesn't truly deserve happiness due to the circumstances surrounding her creation.
- Evil Laugh: Lets one out whenever she gets a particularly high chain combo going.
- Evil Twin: Of Ally. The evil part doesn't quite stick though.
- Expy: Of Doppelganger Arle. Both serve as an Evil Twin to another character, pose as a legitimate threat contrasting past antagonists, appear as a Final Boss, and their presence is played up as a plot twist. The main difference is Rafisol was effectively born with no concept of the world around her and consequentially only thinks about destruction, while Doppelganger Arle's actions are fueled by envy against Arle.
- Final Boss: Of Chronicle's RPG mode.
- Foreshadowing: Her presence is hinted at in the Tower of Color before her fight proper, where Ally starts expressing pain being inflicted on her from the pendant she wears and the rest of the cast even start to hear her voice communicating with them, albeit faintly.
- Heel–Face Turn: Becomes an ally in the post-game campaign after her defeat.
- Humanoid Abomination: A manifestation of hate born out of an Artifact of Doom.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: Chronicle's post-game campaign reveals that Rafisol just wants to have a happy life loved by others, despite the circumstances of her existence.
- Knight of Cerebus: To the point where one could consider her the first true case of this in SEGA's run of the series. She's effectively a manifestation of hatred who only desires destruction, and if not stopped, could have destroyed Ally's world (with the implications that her destructive power could spread to other dimensions). But unlike Ecolo, this desire for destruction is played completely straight. On top of that, she's the only antagonist in the series that has assaulted another character during a cutscene. Becomes subverted in the post-game campaign, though, with Character Development showing that she just wants to be loved by others.
- Lack of Empathy: If only because she is born out of lovelessness and lacks any knowledge of the concept whatsoever.
- Leitmotif: "I will seize, all!"
, the Final Boss theme in Chronicle, which was added to Tetris 2 alongside Rafisol in the second DLC pack. - Made of Evil: Or in her case, hatred.
- Omnicidal Maniac: When Rafisol first appears, she only thinks about destruction, and it's stated that if she wasn't stopped, she would have destroyed Ally's world. There's also light implications that her power was great enough to the point that its destructive nature could spread to other dimensions, if left unchecked.
- Palette Swap: She is basically Ally with an entirely different set of colors, though with some subtle differences between their outfits. Her colors may seem all over the place, but they're actually Ally's colors inverted.
- Person of Mass Destruction: It's stated that she possesses enough power to destroy Ally's world, and would have probably gone on to destroy several others as well if she hadn't been stopped.
- Photoshop Filter of Evil: Inverted Palette Swap of Ally, and is Chronicle's main villain.
- Power Floats: Rarely not seen floating, even during cutscenes when everyone else is standing normally.
- Purple Is Powerful: Wears a purple dress, and possesses enough power to destroy several worlds if she felt like it, not to mention having one of the hardest AIs to beat in the series.
- Recurring Element: An Evil Twin that is played up as a legitimate threat, similar to past doppelganger/dark counterparts like Doppelganger Arle, Doppelganger Schezo, and Dark Witch. Unlike them, she gets character development showing that she isn't pure evil.
- Secret Character: Is one in Champions. On the Nintendo Switch version, you need to hold the L button then press Y to play as her.
- A Sinister Clue: Her Love Hunter alt in Quest reveals her to be a lefty, holding her bow in her right hand and using her left to draw arrows.
- Spikes of Villainy: Both her hair and dress trim are noticeably sharper than Ally's.
- The Stoic: She is very emotionless due to her being a spawn of hatred and darkness. Becomes Deconstructed in the post-game campaign where it's revealed that she purposely hides her emotions, because she feels like she doesn't deserve happiness due to her mere existence.
- Not So Stoic: On the other hand, she will let out an Evil Laugh when she gets a high chain combo going. In addition, her alternate voicepack in Chronicle makes her sound more higher-pitched and emotional.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Borrows Zoh Daimaoh's Dropset.
- Take Over the World: During the post-game she considers conquering a world that has curry so Carbuncle can have some. She is quickly talked out of it though, since she was merely trying to use her powers to be helpful, while still needing to learn what she should or shouldn't do.
- The Usurper: Describes herself as this, even mentioning how she shall seize all if she wins a match. Heck, she even outright stole the role of Final Boss in Satan's in-universe story from him!note
- Walking Spoiler: Her role in Puyo Puyo Chronicle is a big spoiler in itself, as she appears very late into the game with little-to-no foreshadowing prior.
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: As she is spawned from the inverse of love, love was completely foreign to her.
- When She Smiles: Shows a genuine smile in the post-credits scene of Chronicle, she even giggles while doing so.
Enemies
Pictured above in clockwise order: Red Rammit, Woodtle, Ice Wheeloo
Various types of monsters the player will encounter in the RPG mode. Each one has their own characteristics in battle.- Color-Coded Elements: Their color palette leans towards one of five colors depending on the element they are. There's also a sixth, Non-Elemental one that's rare, which is represented by a Garbage Puyo.
- Cowardly Mooks: If your level is far above them, they will actively run from you in the overworld.
- Expy: Rammits are this to Puyo.
- Mooks: For Chronicle.
- Planimal: Woodtles are part turtle, part tree stump.
- Player Mooks: There's a chance you can recruit them via Defeat Means Friendship, and you can set them as your party members. Of course, being mooks, they have weak skills and stats.
- Status Buff: Wheeloo can raise their defenses by 25% against a specific color.
- Underground Monkey: Each enemy type comes in different colors/elements. For example there are green Wheeloo encased in stone, or blue Wheeloo encased in packed ice.
Characters Introduced in Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop
Meena
The guide of the Dream World who aims to give everyone pleasant dreams. Unfortunately, her attempts to do just that for Amitie gets her and her friends stuck in the Dream World.- Big Bad Wannabe: Downplayed. Meena isn't evil per se, but she is selfish given the casual way she traps everyone in her Dream Land so she can befriend and play with them for as long as she wants. She's also not even shaping up to be the main villain of Puzzle Pop. That honor goes to Sig.
- Dream People: She's the Dream World Guide, living on in the dreams of others, and has the power to manipulate the dream world.
- Easy Amnesia: Accidentally does this to Feli in her Side Story, when she was intending to make her forget about her worries. She overdoes it and makes her forget near-everything.
- The Faceless: Meena's "face" is actually a mask. She swaps them out to display her expressions.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Meena borrowed her power from Sig, but in doing so, she accidentally weakened the seal on his demon arm, causing the demon within to take over.
