Main Character
Raguna (JP: Ragna)
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced by: Romi Park (JP); Johnny Yong Bosch (EN) (Frontier)
The main character of the first game and of Frontier. He developed amnesia and wandered up to Mist's door steps where she provided him with a home. In Frontier she ends up housing him again after he follows her to Trampoli
- The Ace: Arguably. Raguna can earn tons of money farming/mining/fishing/whatever, kick ass in dungeons and win the heart of pretty much every unmarried girl in town.
- Cast from Hit Points: If Raguna runs out of rune points, his actions start depleting his own health bar.
- Deadpan Snarker: In Frontier, he's more prone to comment on the quirky behavior of the villagers.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: They are the fastest weapon, but not everyone prefers them.
- Identity Amnesia: He wanders into Kardia only remembering his name and it's later revealed that this was Invoked by the Sechs Empire.
- Improbable Weapon User: If the player really feels up to a challenge, they can have Raguna fight monsters with farm tools. Although with certain tools, it's not such a challenge.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something:
Word of God confirms
that Ivan, who is all but blatantly named as Raguna’s elder brother, is a second cousin to the King of Norad. - Unwitting Pawn: From the moment he starts exploring Kardia's eight caves/dungeons in the first game Raguna is literally fufilling the villains plans to awaken Terrable and use the Dragon God of Earth to destroy the world. Specifically, the crops Raguna plants in each of the caves give off runes (a Rune Factory in other words) which feed the machine used to awaken Terrable.
Bachelorettes
Mist
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced By: Ami Koshimizu (JP); Xanthe Huynh (EN) (Frontier)
A young girl who allows Raguna to help her operate the farm in Kardia. She's a bit strange, but she means well. In Frontier she's traveled to Trampoli, feeling that something is calling her.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Normally a ditzy, sweet girl, but cheat on her and...
- The Cameo: Implied. The third and fourth games have faceless NPCs who have a similar speech pattern. On top of that, their names are Kasumi (which means "mist" in Japanese) and Mistress Trupin (trupin being an anagram of turnip).
- Cloudcuckoolander: Is referred to as "strange", and displays very notably odd behavior.
- First Girl Wins: If you choose to marry her
- Flanderization: While she has her moments in the original game, she's downright bizarre in Frontier.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: She's innocent and has a pure soul.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: When everyone gathers for the final battle of Frontier, she initially thinks everyone is gathered for "Mist Festival," but suddenly turns serious and says, "The Spirits told me what's going on. Don't worry about me and give it everything you've got!"
- Official Couple: Averted. She was the "official" love interest for Raguna in the first game, though he could freely marry whichever bachelorette available. However, Rune Factory Oceans makes references to Iris' Rank 10 event being completed and Anette's "weird-roommate" (which obviously, Mist cannot be if she's married and living with Raguna), indicating that ultimately Raguna did not marry Mist in canon (or at least hasn't done so at that time).
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Rosetta's red, as shown by their eye colors. Mist is calm and collected almost all of the time, even if you cheat on her in ''Frontier''.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Turnips. It's in her description. She'll also wear a turnip mask for the Pumpkin festival and also like you more if you take her to see the Turnip constellation.
Rosetta
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced By: Yui Kano (JP); Julie Ann Taylor (EN) (Frontier)
A delivery girl at her father's general store. In Frontier, she opens up a shop in Trampoli that specializes in flower seeds. She's a bit pushy and competitive, but means well.
- Cannot Spit It Out: If you pursue her in Frontier, she reveals that she's loved Raguna since she met him in Kardia and followed him to Trampoli. But she was too proud to admit this to him.
- Commuting on a Bus: During her heart events in Frontier, she'll move back to Kardia and come back to visit every once in a while.
- Daddy's Girl: As much as she bosses her mild-mannered dad around, she loves him a lot. She even moves back to Kardia in Frontier because he gets sick.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Mist's blue, as shown by their eye colors. She's passionate about her business and is very competitive.
- The Rival: She considers herself to be Mist's rival, even though they're friends. She also becomes Danny's rival in Frontier.
- Unwinnable by Design: If you give her engagement item to Lukas, it will be impossible to marry her in your current playthrough.
Melody
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (JP); Jessica Straus (EN) (Frontier)
A girl in love with magic and bathhouses, the second of which she runs. She has no real talent for spell casting, but dresses like a witch regardless. She's good with potions, though.
- Flanderization: Her love of baths seems a bit overblown in Frontier.
- Innocent Gray Eyes: Gray eyes of the innocence variety due to her being childish.
- Lethal Chef: Her cooking is not to be eaten.
- Oblivious to Love: Camus has a crush on her, but she doesn't notice and never mentions him in her dialogue.
- Parental Abandonment: Dead parents, rather; she mentions being friends with Sharron because they have this in common.
- The Pollyanna: She's a very upbeat person despite losing her parents.
- Robe and Wizard Hat: She dresses as such because she thinks magic and wizards are cool.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: She's very bubbly and happy.
Lara (JP: Lapis)
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced By: Mai Aizawa (JP); Karen Strassman (EN) (Frontier)
A nurse and, in Frontier, sister in training. In the original game she's the daughter of the local clergy and helps at the hospital, but in Frontier she's running the local infirmary all on her own.
- Anger Born of Worry: She dislikes when people are careless with their health. Her love points will actually decrease in both games if Raguna passes out in a dungeon. In Frontier, Selphy pushes this button often due to her single-mindedness.
- Costume Evolution: She is the only returning character who changes her outfit in Frontier, going from a nurse style to a nun style.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: She claims to be clumsy in Frontier, but it's never shown.
- Dub Name Change: From Lapis to Lara.
- Meaningful Name: Lapis is derived from lapis lazuli, which is often associated with healing.
- The Medic: She's a nurse. In Frontier, she works at the infirmary at the church.
- Nun Too Holy: In Frontier. She's every bit as sweet as before, but nuns aren't supposed to marry. She'll hand wave this, but Raguna can still get her into a bikini.
Bianca De Sainte-Coquille (JP: Bianca Eraruko Viviaaju)
Appearance in Frontier
Voiced By: Mayu Arishima (JP); Kari Wahlgren (EN) (Frontier)
The daughter of local gourmet Jasper De Sainte-Coquille, who lives in the largest house in town. She comes off as a bit snobby, but she's really a nice girl.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Both her hair and eyes are blue.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She initially seems very harsh, but gradually becomes kinder to Raguna as he befriends her.
- Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: In both the first game and Frontier. Because Jasper can buy her anything she wants, she does not like receiving gifts. Her LP will only go up if you talk to her everyday.
- Lonely Rich Kid: She never leaves her home. In theory, she is one of the easiest girls to marry, as all you need to win her heart is simply to come by and visit her every day.
- The Ojou: She's of the Ice Queen variety, as she has a hard time befriending people due to her upbringing.
- Rich Bitch: She has a hard time holding her tongue when she talks to people.
Tabatha (JP: Tabasa)

- Put on a Bus: She does not show up in Frontier, presumably staying in Kardia while Raguna and six other bachelorettes moved on to Trampoli.

Lady Ann's daughter. She is rather shy around people, so she likes to surround herself with books from the library.
- Bespectacled Cutie: A shy, adorable girl who wears round spectacles to emphasize her bookishness.
- Bookworm: So much that her love level is raised by Raguna reading the books in the library.
- Disappeared Dad: Her father died a few years ago.
- Dub Name Change: From Torte to Tori. This gets translated as Tart when she gets mentioned in ''Frontier''.

- Sibling Yin-Yang: Compared to her brother Zavier, she's extremely reserved and introverted.
Mei
A wandering woman who enjoys fishing. She's supposedly on a mission, but she'll never say what it is.
- Bragging Rights Reward: Courting her is tedious to say the least, and marrying her has no special perks.
- The Cameo: She reappears in the third game in the inn, in charge of changing Micah's name and the farm's. For laughs, give her a lover snapper and she'll ask if Micah is proposing to her.
- Berserk Button: In the third game, Micah telling her that he's going to eat the Lover Snapper makes her very angry.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Her dark eyes match her hair in-game.
- Icy Gray Eyes: Gray eyes of the strong-willed and unapproachable variety.
- I Work Alone: The game creators say that she was once part of a team, but now runs solo.

- Put on a Bus: Also does not show up in Frontier.
- Seeker Archetype: She's in Kardia to investigate the Sechs empire.
- Trademark Favorite Food: The lover snapper. It's even her proposal item. Though it's debatable as to whether or not she eats it, considering she gets mad at Micah in the third game for joking about eating it.

Lynette
A lieutenant commander from the Sechs military and another bachelorette, she comes to stay in Mist's house and live in Kardia only after the main storyline is cleared.
- Curtains Match the Window: Her right eye matches her hair color.
- Defeat Means Friendship: She moves into Kardia and becomes a marriage candidate after you beat the main story.
- The Dragon: Under the orders of Emperor Ethelberd, she began the Grimoire Project that endangers Kardia and would've endangered all of Norad.
- Easily Forgiven: She was the architect of the plan that filled Kardia's caves with monsters, made Raguna permanently lose his memories, and summoned the true Grimoire. Raguna forgives her for all of it almost instantly, though the alternative was her being honor-bound to commit seppuku as per the rules of the Sechs military.
- Eyepatch of Power: She wears one to cover up her gold left eye.
- In the Blood: She comes from a long lineage of Sechs military commanders.
- Knight of Cerebus: Whenever she shows up the game loses most of its lighthearted tone.
- Last Girl Wins: She is the last bachelorette to debut in the game, and she can only be married once the storyline is finished.
- Master Poisoner: Her experience with medicines allowed her to inflict amnesia on Raguna. Unfortunately, it worked too well and Raguna can't regain those lost memories.
- Put on a Bus: She doesn't show up in Frontier.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: Her left eye that's covered by an eyepatch is gold, and it can only be seen if you marry her. It's never explained why she's hiding that eye.
- The Unfought: Lynette is never confronted directly. However you have to face the many dangerous monsters and machinery she controls every time you encounter her.
- Walking Spoiler: Talking about Lynette in any form spoils a lot of the game's story.
- You Have Failed Me: Ethelberd nearly forces her to sacrifice in order to atone for her failure in Kardia. However Raguna makes her change her mind at the last moment and move in.

- Sibling Yin-Yang: He's more outgoing than Tori and enjoys adventuring.

Lukas (JP: Ryudo)
A wandering minstrel and poet who stays at Lady Ann's inn. He is hopelessly in love with Rosetta, much to her annoyance.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Rosetta can't stand him.
- Handsome Lech: He's good-looking, but he's too lustful. Even Raguna gets uncomfortable with him when he goes on a tangent about the bachelorettes and their charm points.
- Hypocritical Humor: For someone who calls himself the messenger of love, he sure doesn't take Rosetta finding love well.
- Informed Ability: He's supposed to be a minstrel in addition to a poet, but he never actually performs music.
- Love Freak: He calls himself a messenger of love.
- Sore Loser: If you marry Rosetta, he gets so upset that he doesn't even congratulate Raguna and Rosetta at their wedding.

Russell
The town librarian and Cecilia's adoptive father. He was once part of Norad's army, but retired when he adopted Cecilia.

Cecilia

- Half-Human Hybrid: She's a half-elf, but is unaware of it.
- Happily Adopted: By Russell. She doesn't even remember what her life was like before he took her in.
- Pointy Ears: An elven trait. She wonders why she and Tabatha have these.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: A downplayed example. Prior to the start of the game, she gifted Felicity with a stone, not realizing that said stone was cursed; this stone turns out to be the cause of Felicity's mysterious illness. Thankfully the player can fix the situation by having Felicity discard the cursed stone once they find out about it.
Nicholas (JP: Nicol)
Sabrina's son. He's a little prankster who can either be found with his best friend, Cecilia, or hanging out at Neumann's store.

The town doctor and Camus' father. He and his son were originally from the Sechs Empire, but he relocated to Norad in order to live a more peaceful life.
- Curtains Match the Window: He has brown hair and brown eyes.
- From New York to Nowhere: It's implied that he and Camus lived in a big city back in the empire. However, Edward prefers his new small-town life over his previous one.

Neumann
Sabrina's ex-husband and the owner of Neumann's Farm. He's an upbeat fellow who moved to Kardia in order to remain in touch with Sabrina and Nicholas.- Amicable Exes: With Sabrina. However, he makes it obvious that he wants to get back together with her.

- Luke, I Might Be Your Father: It's never outright stated whether or not Nicholas is his biological son.
- There is the fact that if you get Neumann and Sabrina to remarry, at least one character at their wedding asks them when they're going to have another child...
- Noodle Incident: He did something in the past that really angered Sabrina and caused them to get divorced.
- Parental Substitute: Maybe. Nicholas claims to have no father and often hangs out in his store, but it's possible that they are biologically related and Nicholas was too young to remember him.
Jasper De Sainte-Coquille (JP: Jakorinusu Eraroko Viviaaju)

Wesley (JP: White-Shinpu)
The town priest and Lara's father. He's a calm man who runs the Kardia Chapel and is often the victim of Nicholas' pranks.- Dub Name Change: From White-Shinpu to Wesley.

Kardia's mayor and Felicity's father. He is in charge of issuing out cave permits and appreciates hard work. He'll only let you marry his daughter if you cure her illness.- Doting Parent: He worries about Felicity pushing herself too hard.
- Flat Character: There isn't much to say about him.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: Downplayed. He won't give you cave permits unless you meet the right conditions, but he makes an exception for Clemens Cave when Cecilia gets lost inside. He also makes an exception for Greed Cave, the final dungeon of the game, after the player explains that it might contain the Grimoire.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He's in charge of issuing cave permits to people who meet the required conditions, but he's willing to waive those requirements in emergency situations, such as when Cecelia gets lost in Clemens Cave.

The town blacksmith who owns Sword Leo Smithery. He was trained by a dwarf, which rubbed off and influenced his speech pattern and appearance.- The Blacksmith: He plays this role, though his weapons won't be as good as the ones you can forge.
- Goal in Life: He wants a Grimoire Scale to forge a Grimoire Sword, which is needed to propose to Sharron.
- Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Inverted. Dwarves in the world of Rune Factory appear as normal people with pointy ears. Leo, on the other hand, is a human who embodies all of the dwarf stereotypes.
Ivan
A wandering merchant who stops by the village on holidays to sell his goods.- Chekhov's Gunman: He doesn't play a huge part until the finale.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Not a romantic example, but it's the reason that Ivan doesn't tell Raguna about his past and lets him stay where he is.
- I Will Find You: He's been looking for Raguna ever since Raguna went missing in a shipwreck years ago.
- King Incognito: He appears to be just a traveling merchant, but he's actually part of royalty.

Other Characters
Terrable
The Native Dragon God of Earth.- Color-Coded Elements: Averted. Despite representing the earth element, Terrable is purple as opposed to the commonly used brown or yellow.

- Samus Is a Girl: In Rune Factory 4, if you bring Raven as an ally for the boss fight against Terrable, Raven will say this:Raven: She is... crying...
- The Voiceless: She's the only Native Dragon that does not talk, though it's implied that she has the ability to do so considering the other three speak in their games.
Ethelberd
The emperor of the Sechs Empire. Lynette made an oath to him to commit seppuku if her Grimoire Project failed, and he appears before her, Raguna, and Mist to remind her of that oath.- Big Bad: Lynette was conducting the Grimoire Project on his orders.
- Karma Houdini: When his tank division is disabled by Terrable, he and his soldiers simply pull back from Kardia and must walk back to their homeland despite being the reason Kardia's caves were full of monsters in the first place. However, the loss he suffers here leads to comeuppance three games later...
- You Have Failed Me: After Raguna defeats the true Grimoire and ruins Lynette's Grimoire Project, Ethelberd appears to remind Lynette of the price for failure: seppuku, or exile. She attempts to do the former, but Raguna convinces her to do the latter instead.
Gilbert
The king of the Norad Kingdom.- Last Episode, New Character: He only appears in the last scene of the main storyline to have a conversation with Ivan, and the credits roll directly after.
- The Good King: He tells Ivan that people are obligated to live in harmony with the earth, and says the Sechs Empire doesn't understand that. He then tells him to keep working hard at it.
