The Dolls

In General

Some of the Dolls available at launch.^*From left to right, clockwise: Freesia, Lilyiro, Minerdwen, Netsuki, Satya, Lin, Yuki, Colcher, Virgina, Asuna, Benten, Lavira

• Aliens Speaking English: Silenus lampshades this during her introduction story; by definition, every Doll here is an alien to Litoris, yet could speak the same language. Even before this, Gawana, back when she was alive and met in Graveland, could perfectly hold a conversation with the Evoker and his party.
  Silenus: Is it perhaps because of the supposed synchronization of souls leading to synchronization of language systems, or is it really a coincidence that they are exactly the same?
• Amazon Brigade: All Dolls summoned are girls capable in combat. Lampshaded in one Patrol story by a thief the Evoker catches, that it nets the Evoker's status as one of the Seven Wonders in the city as the guy who mysteriously has girls appearing out of nowhere to protect him anytime he gets into danger.
• Culture Equals Costume: Though coming from other worlds separate from each, many of the Dolls' clothes reference cultures one could find in real life: Asuna, Miko and Mako wear Sailor Fuku (although the last one is not a student), Ruri and Yuki wear kimonos, Lin and Qu Ling wear stylized qipao, and Gawana's animal furs fit her voodoo background.
• Damager, Healer, Tank: The three classes that Dolls fall under depending on their skillset. Each Doll has three skillsets that define their role in battle depending on which one is equipped, the third being customizable and mixes skills from the last two sets.^*First set is available from the start, second is unlocked when the Doll reaches Level 15, and the third at Level 20.
  • Attacker: DPS, usually boasting damage-multiplying skills and abilities that boost said skills.
  • Defender: The Tank, with the associated skills required to survive enemy attacks and to protect their fellow party members. These Dolls are best set on the Front line, where they are more likely to take attacks compared to the Rear.
  • Supporter: The Healer, who uses skills that restore HP, purge debuffs from party members, and can cast buffs and debuffs.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Oh Lady Shera, the fact that some died young to have to be evoked is itself a clue, such that their many quirks are Harsher in Hindsight since their pasts are what led to them acting so.
• Dead to Begin With: The Dolls, as they are lost souls called to Continent Crescent to assist in the Graveland investigation. They are given physical bodies, which means they get a second chance in life, and they may not even be aware of them being once dead in the first place.
• Field Power Effect: Dolls gain more power than ordinary humans do in Graveland, which is what makes them so successful in their explorations compared to previous expeditions back when Doll technology did not exist. In Chapter 2 of Graveland, one expedition called the Ebony Squad, which had quite a few Badass Normals, died either to its hostile inhabitants, particularly one named Supreme-Supreme, or to natural dangers. Outside of Graveland though, Dolls De-power significantly but can still handily outperform Muggles in strength like Lin and Lilyiro, or retain magical powers like Virgina and Satya.
• Flowers of Femininity: A few Dolls have flower designs or actual flowers on them.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: In some Doll and event stories, the game expects you to have Dolls you might not have evoked yet, if not the entire cast according to like in Dream Quest v1.0 and v2.0.
• Justified Extra Lives: As Silenus's first Present story reveals, Dolls can Body Surf from one artificial body to another if they get too injured, although it won't stop Dolls from feeling pain as Dreizhen proves.
• Long Hair Is Feminine: With the sole exceptions of Akaset and Ruri so far, all the Dolls have hair long enough to at least go past their shoulders.
• Our Homunculi Are Different: As Dolls are Dead to Begin With, they don't have their actual bodies when evoked. In one of Benten's Date stories, it's stated that, upon being summoned, their souls are placed into human-like bodies made with a material that allows them to be stronger than regular humans. As such, they're sometimes regarded as "human weapons" and tools for the Order's goals, though they are treated fairly nonetheless.
• Out of Focus: At one point, it gets bad enough that it gets noticed In-Universe. Several events in a row (Monster Academy, Golden Crepuscule, and Simulated Training) were more about the Evoker's relationship with other characters instead of the Dolls, with the Dolls making no appearances or being joke cameos at best. This culminated in the Dream Quest 4.0 event, where Ennis and the rest of the Dolls make the Evoker take part in a virtual scenario with them where every major role is played by a Doll instead. Although the scenario was about multiple factions at war with each other (and the Evoker and Dolls split up among the various factions), it ends with the Dolls and Evoker declaring they'll be on each other's side instead. The final diary in the event from Ennis reveals that the Dolls were aware of the other events where others professed their love for the Evoker, and they devised the Dream Quest 4.0 scenario to remind the Evoker that his true love should always be the Dolls.
• The Power of Love: Dolls have the potential to become stronger by obtaining pieces of their Pasts, unlocked by both gaining emotion keys from either Dates or the Illusory Limbo, and then leveling their Bond levels to make them more comfortable in confiding to you about their lives before dying and evoked to Continent Crescent.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A given, since Dolls hail from other worlds with their own histories and cultures different from Continent Crescent, let alone their individual abilities, personalities, and pasts.
• Red Baron: They each have their own title. It's explicitly stated that Benten's title is self-declared, and likely that the others are as well. Many titles seem to be inside-jokes or references that would make little sense to an outsider without the context.
• Schizo Tech: Continent Crescent is primarily a fantasy setting, but it doesn't bar sci-fi characters like a Spaceship Girl, a girl piloting a mech suit, and an alien catgirl that can destroy worlds from being summoned as Dolls.
• Secret Art: Every Doll has two Ultimate Skills, the first available from the start and the next as part of their second skillset at Level 15. All of them need a whopping 80 SP to use at base level (which can be greatly lowered through Sigil upgrades, going down to 72 SP on their 2nd level, then 64 SP at the 4th) but have powerful effects that can turn the tide of battle.
• Stripperific: Quite a few of the Dolls expose quite a bit of skin, with special mentions going to the vampire Minerdwen and the demon princess Satya.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: In an encounter with Qu Ling during Monster Academy, she makes it clear that every Doll is willing to destroy the world (the simulated academy to be exact) if anything were to happen to the Evoker during his time there.

Akaset

"Instruction received. Please confirm execution."

Title: Malfunction Free

Height and weight: 129.53cm/26kg

Age: ???

Zodiac: Gemini

Birthday: June 8

Element/s: Lightning/Frost

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Yui Ogura

A battle vessel AI that was repurposed into a synthetic humanoid body after her original ship body was destroyed beyond repair.

---

• Animal Motifs: Cats. She has a hairpin of a cat's face, her Expressive Shirt often shows cat-like faces, and her pajama skin is themed after cats. The Evoker comments in one of her Present stories that she has the attitude of a cat that comes and goes as she pleases, without caring about who else is around. Amusingly enough in the Dream Quest 2.0 event, she also gets into a verbal cat-fight with Juewa, an actual cat-girl.
• BFG: Two of them as part of her floating rigging.
• A Day in the Limelight: Appears in Graveland Chapter VIII as an important NPC. She's basically the protagonist of the chapter's plot, because the Evoker is literally put into her shoes.
• Expressive Shirt: Her top actually has a sort of screen that shows a cat-like face conveying Akaset's emotions that her normally unexpressive face doesn't get across.
• Freeze Ray: Her second Defender-oriented skillset.
• In Another Man's Shoes: The Evoker sees things from Akaset's perspective in Chapter 8 and appears to be within Akaset's body or peering into Akaset's dimension from it. Akaset has full control of their body during particularly important storyline-related interactions. It's a unique case in that from the Evoker's perspective as well as the Dolls', he's still the Evoker, but from the perspective of the NPCs in Akaset's world, he's Akaset, to the point where combat done by the Dolls and Evoker is seen by the NPCs as Akaset combatting the enemy.
• Living on Borrowed Time: Her Level 31 Present Story has the virus still inside her reveal that while her core has been recovered, it remains broken, leaking power and eventually lead to Akaset expiring in spite of being a Doll. How long she still has before then is not known. Even so, she'll stay by the Evoker's side however long she could.
• Not So Above It All: In Dream Quest v2.0 when the Evoker accidentally summons Juewa and Akaset at the same time to manage the kingdom's defenses, the normally professional and obedient Akaset is quick to join in on the childish competition between the two to prove which one is better. Akaset taking a contest of ability personally does make sense considering she had enough pride to contain a Supreme-Supreme avatar within her core in Chapter 9.
  Akaset: It (Akaset) is much more reliable than undisciplined manual calculations, and of course, Akaset is not angry.
• Rei Ayanami Expy: Checks off every item on the list. She's a love interest the Evoker can date and oath, has otherworldly origins, a dark and troubled past where her world was dying as shown in Chapters 9 and 10, is depicted as a child to the point where she's mistaken for one in a patrol, unnatural silver short hair and eyes, appears emotionless, speaks in monotone, is an artificial human, suffers a major illness after getting infected by a virus in Chapter 9 that's slowly killing her even in the present day, has a strong connection to her parental figure and boss (both the Evoker and her first master, Margaret, and becomes more emotional as she begins feeling emotions in Chapter 9.
• Ridiculously Human Robot: Somehow had a soul that enabled her to be summoned to Continent Crescent as a Doll. This is a major plot point in Chapter 9, where the main villain Albert is attempting to use her as a template for transferring human souls into robots.
  • She's capable of feeling emotions as shown by her Expressive Shirt, and confirmed in Chapter 9, where the Evoker playing her role is able to feel her emotions.
• Robot Girl: After her main spaceship body was irreparably damaged, she was moved to a humanoid body to keep her AI from shutting down.
• Shock and Awe: Her first Attacker-oriented skillset.
• Spaceship Girl: She was once an AI for a space battleship until it suffered irreparable damage from a certain battle. In an effort to salvage her, she was rebuilt as a Robot Girl that can carry powerful weaponry as her rigging.
• Third-Person Person: Akaset refers to herself this way.
• Walking Spoiler: She was available on release and thus playable long before Chapter 8 and above were available (where her story takes place). Presumably due to this, all her date, past, and present scenes were blacked out (and still are as of Chapter 9). This is despite how the developers seemingly already wrote those scenes, as unlocking her censored Present scenes will also unlock their associated CG artworks (of which the first is a major spoiler). Her stories were only finally unlocked with the release of Chapter 10, and her Present stories continue from where Chapter 10 ended.

Alisa

"No matter whether the story ends in comedy or tragedy, as the rain would wash out all the traces, and the author is always ready for her next creation."

Title: Brilliant Writer

Height and weight: 165cm/50kg

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Birthday: November 24

Element/s: Frost/Fire

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Reina Ueda

An avid reader of literature and fairy tales who secretly dreams of becoming a world-renowned writer.

---

• An Adventurer Is You:
  • Rhythm of Rime: Frost Attacker, row-target Debuffer; meant for AOE squads and boosting other Attackers' Frost damage dealt, her Core Skill is meant for a single target and her Special dedicated to the front row of baddies. Her Ultimate, Fables of Snow, hits the front and back rows once each, inflicting the Frost Rune debuff^note considers the unit with it having Freeze and increases damage taken by 50%.
  • Poetry of Ashes: Fire Defender, squad-wide Preemptive Healer/Tank hybrid; her skills favor Fire squads with AOE attacks (facilitated by Breathing Tome's AOE attack), but her Barrier of Ashes Special Skill notably grants each Doll a shield every five times the squad is attacked once a turn. Her two-turn-long Ultimate, Legends of Fire, not only grants the squad shields, but also removes the trigger limitation on Barrier of Ashes so that shields are being put up every time the squad is attacked.
• Badass Bookworm: Looks like a delicate book lover, but she specializes in providing powerful attacks and shielding her teammates from incoming damage, so she definitely isn't weak, not one bit.
• Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: With Alisa doing lots of weird, creative spins on her writings that make them indigestible to readers, the Evoker has to step in as her "Editor", trying to keep her on track and make her works at least readable to the public. The results vary, but they won't be winning competitions anytime soon.
• No Social Skills: In stark contrast to her loud, self-assured personality, her Past shows she was far more aloof, if timid in life, to the point that she couldn't speak up against her clubmates lazing around despite being the club president.
• Shaping Your Attacks: Especially prominent in her Ice Ultimate where her magically-written runes leap away in the shape of small animals like rabbits and birds once she sets them loose upon the enemy.
• Stylistic Suck: Let's just say that the literature she writes takes certain trains of thought too far, no matter how much she tries to pass it off as works for creative tastes. At least she does manage to publish some (as children's books, much to her dismay).

Andrea

"Ughhh! Are you trying to hurt me? Well then, enjoy being my prey! AhhaHA AhaHahAa~"

Title: Mecha Mage

Height and weight: 155cm (5'1")/46kg (101lbs)

Zodiac: Gemini

Birthday: June 16

Element/s: Frost/Lightning

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Ai Kakuma

A daughter of a magician house who was disgraced and publicly humiliated after she was revealed to have an inferior magical talent, creating a split personality full of rage when piloting a mechanized suit to compensate for her magical ineptitude.

---

• Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: To convey the fact that she's her Ax-Crazy self. The quote above should be a clear indicator of that.
• Ax-Crazy: Due to the humiliation she received back when she was alive, she developed a Split Personality that revels in combat, and said personality can even crop up in her more peaceful side when stimulated enough.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Generally a soft-spoken and shy girl at first sight, as stated above, she can get a little... unstable once you rile her up.
• Blood Knight: Whenever she's in her mech suit, her personality switches to this, perhaps in response to the trauma she received when she was publicly disgraced.
• Combat Sadomasochist: Likes inflicting pain and being inflicted pain. This gets taken to Too Kinky to Torture levels outside of combat whenever she gets in the mood, and being left very disappointed if the pain doesn't come.
  • This becomes expected in just about most of her Present and Date stories; cutting her hands arranging thorny flowers without gloves, getting mobbed and tickled breathless by cats, letting herself get drenched in rain, wanting to go swimming when she hears about a coral reef...
  • The eight Present story has her trick the Evoker into thinking he drank 'Gummy Tea' (which is actually barley tea) to get him to punish her. Of course, he doesn't.
  • She keeps losing in a game with the Evoker in the sixth Date just to stick her hand into the "Chopper", where the loser's hand gets harmlessly squeezed by it. She still keeps trying to stick her hand into it without the Evoker watching even after they end the game.
  • There is a part-time job titled "Safety Review", where job-takers must test an amusement park's rides and needs "brave and tough people". It recommends Lavira (a military engineer) and Andrea (no points for guessing why).
• Escapism: Her Combat Sadomasochist personality arose because the stressful situation of being a fallen noble and the trauma of seeing her ''entire'' family (save for her younger sister) die caused her to fall into a dissociation from reality. It was when she got hurt protecting her sister one day that she found that pain distracts her from her depression, turning her into the masochist we know today.
• Heroic Sacrifice: How she met her end. Though she mowed her way through most of the science regime's army, their ships kept coming at her, all of which came from a huge tower. She took it down by crashing herself through it, destroying it while she falls to her death, but toppling the science side's power and hopefully leaving a future for her magician sister.
• Impoverished Patrician: She acts like a Proper Lady, but in truth, when a war erupted between the magic and science sides of her world, the science side targeted her family home, killing her mother and older sister, and left the estate in ruin. The science side then won, taking control, arresting any magic users and left Andrea's family be since they weren't magicians. Still, the incident left the father broken in mind to do anything and forced the two sisters to live frugally in the ruins of their house.
• The Load: What she tends to see herself as, given her lack of magical power.
• Magic Versus Science: Her home world was one where people took sides between science and magic and compete with each other through technological advancements unique to each side. Litoris's prominent presence of Magitek subverts the trope and fascinates Andrea greatly.
  • This is averted in the case of her parents; her mother was a high-ranked magician and her father was a scientist, having married each other despite their professions and personal debates.
  • Not long into her Past, her world undergoes a war between magic and science, in which the science side won, killing Andrea's mother and older sister when terrorists raided their house. Since then, the victors arrest magicians whenever they detect them using magic-reading machines, which Andrea is ironically safe from because of her low magical power.
• Powered Armor: Her title is "Mecha Mage", but her mech suit functions more like this, having everything but parts of her head and torso armored up. With this suit, she can wield a Frost-elemental railgun to focus fire on a single enemy, or become a tank that can redirect damage aimed at the rest of the party to her.
• The Unfavorite: Her mother was a high-ranking magician in her world and thus had high expectations of her three daughters. Her younger sister was too young to manifest magic but could be a powerful magician in the future (and to her detriment in the now science-ruled society later in Andrea's Past, her power budded), while the older one had talent in spades; Andrea could barely cast magic and was seen as Pathetically Weak by her peers, thus leading to her sisters being favored more.

Ao Ling

Title: Dragon Sovereign

Height and weight: 155cm/50kg

Zodiac: Taurus

Element/s: Physical/Shadow

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Rika Tachibana

The Dragon Sovereign—once the former draconic ruler of all oceanic chakra in her world, she takes pride in her martial arts, control over water, and interest in cultures foreign to her... although the former two of these qualities have somehow disappeared due to a presumed issue with her evocation, she nevertheless maintains a haughty personality and hope she will get her powers back.

---

• Cultured Badass: While her haughtiness might suggest she's a Spoiled Brat, her first Present episode reveals she had read various history books to learn about the culture of the new world she's been evoked to. Other stories also have her learning from people, giving her an unexpected slew of handy skills on top of her fighting skills, although the fighting part is downplayed since she lost power over the chakra that empowers her abilities.
• Fish out of Water: Subverted as a Doll; if anything, she was barely fazed from finding herself in a new world and even read up on its history. This however is a plot point in her Past. When she sealed the Dragon Sovereign's chakra from her uncle, it trapped her inside the palace until she found herself ashore a thousand years later, where high-rise buildings have taken the place of humble villages, chakra in the world is diminished, the Dragon Temple is a tourist attraction, and her friend and now fellow Living Relic, Tushan Xiu, is a thousand years old.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Her entire personality and background is based on this, having worked to protect the weak in life, and though she initially sees the Evoker as nothing more than a lapdog in an organization full of lapdogs to Shera, she still deems him under her protection simply because it's the duty of the strong to do so.
  • When she commissioned a crescent blade in her Present story, the Evoker suspected she used his funds without consulting him first. Ao Ling catches on to this unspoken accusation and makes it clear she worked in part-time jobs instead.
  • In her Past as a princess, she wandered the lands learning from mortal cultures, as well as helped people, including her yokai friend Tushan Xiu to blend in with mortal society and subduing bandits. It's notable that even when she saw the lackluster offerings to the Dragon Temple and thought about punishing the mortals with a natural disaster or two, she refrained, saying that these people are her responsibility regardless of the reward.
• Sheltered Aristocrat: Averted. When her father rose to the throne and thus making her a princess, Ao Ling asked if she's going to be confined to the palace as a result. Her father instead appoints her as an ambassador, giving her the duty to put her adventurous personality to use and learn from the world outside of the palace.
• Spoiled Brat: Played With. She was a royal member of a divine race of dragons, and had the power and talent that came with being one that made her look down on those weaker than her, the Evoker included. That said, she never takes the haughtiness too far (a trait comparable to Anastasiya), while showing kindness and respect to those who deserve it.
• The Time of Myths: Much like how Mako and Qu Ling lived in eras when gods are common to the land, Ao Ling's world was one where mortals and supernatural beings were a common sight. Emphasis on 'was'; she has more in common with Mako because after being trapped in the seal she placed on the Dragon Palace, she was frozen in time for a thousand years until she somehow was freed, then found that mortals are now the dominant race and unreliant on the godlike beings they worshipped. Meanwhile, with the decline in chakra, yokai have faded out of the public eye while incapable of using magic (Ao Ling included).

Asuna Hoshimi

"Unlike the future, people's minds are unreadable. EWW! Are you having some pervert thoughts?"

Title: Ordinary JK

Height and weight: 158cm/47kg

Age: 17

Zodiac: Gemini

Birthday: June 12

Element/s: Physical

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Rina Sato

A highschoolgirl with the power to see the future and mastery in military tactics, having led a rebellion against an oppressive government her home was ruled by. She continues to maintain a façade of being an ordinary, if aloof and snappy schoolgirl in her new life as a Doll.

---

• Blessed with Suck: Her Combat Clairvoyance is an amazing blessing for a rebel fighter like her, but it has also hindered her ability to enjoy life as she can now just look at the future to see what could happen.
• Codename: "Hoshi" / "Hoshimi".
• Clingy Jealous Girl:
  • The ninth Date has Asuna acting suddenly abrasive towards the Evoker on the way to a restaurant, stopping at an astrologer's shop for shelter from sudden rain. The astrologer divines the Evoker's fate, and lo and behold, lampshades the Evoker's path of "flowers" much to Asuna's irritation, who foresaw this.
  • In a random event for the second season of Monster Academy, she suddenly shows up in front of the Evoker's dorm room, informing him that Dallian has warned the girls not to fake transfers into the academy this time—then she accuses the Evoker of going on dates while she grips her gun, glaring. She's only disarmed when the Evoker declares his love for her, then skips class to take her on a tour/date of the school grounds.
• The Chains of Commanding: In a mansion scene, Asuna remarks that she feels guilty about her friends dying under her command, wondering if they could have lived had she been more capable. She then tells the Evoker not to worry about her too much because he's the one doing the commanding now.
• Combat Clairvoyance: Has the power to foresee the near future, which is a great boon to her battle prowess. Her clairvoyance is the in-game explanation for why several of her skills ignore a portion of enemy defense.
• Cutscene Power to the Max: The cutscene for her Bloody Carnival Ultimate Skill has her dodging bullets presumably thanks to her Combat Clairvoyance, and in one of her Past scenes, she is shown effortlessly blocking a thief's knife attacks before counterattacking thanks to it. In-game, however, her clairvoyance only manifests as the ability to ignore her target's defense in certain skills, with nothing related to dodging or evading.
• Gun Kata: Her first skillset makes use of her handgun to attack enemies both in the rear and frontline, while her second has her use a combat knife to deal with frontline enemies. One could style Asuna as this by mixing both skillsets.
• Heroic Sacrifice: She and her friends secured the evidence to take down her world's dictator at the cost of their own lives, ushering a new era where the next generation of school girls and everyone else lived happily in peace. The chapter of their deaths is even called "Sacrifice".
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Flavor text for Chapter 13 of her Past indicates this, which is likely why she keeps pretending to be a normal high school student as a Doll despite how that's obviously not the case. The dreams from her clairvoyance and sense of duty from having that power compelled her to leave her normal life as a high school girl to become the leader of the rebellion. At one point in her past, she had a dream where she was a normal student again, and the realization that dream was not a glimpse of the future but instead just a personal fantasy of hers caused her to break down crying.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Not with her gun as you'd expect (though her Combat Clairvoyance almost certainly helps there too), but with her knives. Her Ultimate animation on its own shows she's capable of hurling a knife an absurd distance with flawless accuracy in the middle of a firefight - the knife even flies in from off-screen to emphasize this - but her Core skill involves her possibly throwing two knives which bounce off opposing surfaces to strike an enemy from different angles.
• Ineffectual Loner: Generally pushes people away as she prefers doing things by herself. A bit of egging on from the Evoker leads her to tone it down a notch.
• Joshikousei: Her title ("Ordinary JK"), and she pretends that she's one. She even goes as far as acting out anime schoolgirl stereotypes like constantly calling the Evoker a pervert, even in cases where the accusation makes no sense. Her first Present story has her claim that the pistol she uses comes from being part of a wilderness survival club, and indeed, her first Past shows her in an airsoft game. It is also notable that some foods she likes are real life Japanese staples, such as Sashimi, Rice Ball, and Salmon Fry. That said, her combat skills could cause anyone to question otherwise, and later Past stories reveal the military dictatorship her town was under.
  • Further delving into her Past shows she eventually gave up her high school life to lead a rebellion against that dictatorship, but deep down she wished she was still just normal high school girl, which is presumably why she pretends to be one in the present, even if she clearly isn't.
• Rebel Leader: Once a leader of a rebel group of high school girls fighting against a totalitarian government.
• Starter Mon: As your first dedicated Attacker alongside Lilyiro.
• Simple, yet Awesome: She has precisely one role and element (Physical Attacker) with no deviation, and even compared to fellow single-purpose character Ruri, Asuna somewhat lacks in gimmicks or utility - she's made to hit a single target really, really hard, and the choice in skillset only really changes how she does so (critical hits or bleed damage). She is nonetheless damn good at her job, and with the right setup will absolutely ruin whatever she aims at, whether by knife or by gun.
• Tsundere: Starts off as a Harsh type, constantly chiding the Evoker for perverted thoughts and actions even if unwarranted, and gradually softens up as her bond level is increased.
• With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Stated verbatim in her profile. In her previous life, Asuna became leader of a rebellion against a cruel dictator because of her power of clairvoyance and this.

Aurora

"A-are you the one who freed me, knight?"

Title: The Unmaker

Height and weight: 144cm/35kg

Age: 18

Zodiac: Pisces

Birthday: February 24

Element/s: Fire/Lightning

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Miku Itō

A young princess who was cursed to become the source of her kingdom's destruction through the living thorny vines that grow out of her body.

---

• A-Cup Angst: When you get her bond level to Friend (Lv. 21), she will sometimes lament on how many princesses both fictional and real feel more mature because of their figure than her, who is petite.
• Assassination Attempt: During her exile, she was shot at by an archer that came to take her life. Obviously, her vines took care of the assailant while she was unconscious. Other assassins and bounty hunters later made attempts to kill her too with similar consequences.
• The Berserker: Her Lightning-oriented Ultimate skill puts her in a berserk state, only using lightning-infused normal attacks three times on random enemies for three turns.
• Chivalric Romance: Likes these types of stories, and secretly wants to have such a romance with her own "knight".
• Curse: Cursed to become the destruction of her home by a Fairy Devilmother who wasn't invited to her birth's celebration.
• Cute Bookworm: She loves to read fairy tales and romance novels, which is where her idealized view of the Evoker — her Knight in Shining Armor — comes from.
• Dangerous 16th Birthday: On her 16th birthday, she was fated to destroy her own kingdom with the tendrils that grew out of her body.
• Dead to Begin With: A characteristic common among Dolls, she's an interesting case where she seemingly hasn't realized she died and instead believed she was kidnapped. Later on, in one of her Date scenes, she reveals she's been aware that she died and can't ever go back to her home world for a while now. She later clarifies that she's happier in Continent Crescent with the other Dolls and her "knight", and that's all that matters now.
• Death of a Thousand Cuts: Her Lightning specialty runs like this, with even her Basic Attack operating differently from upgrades - instead of increasing in base damage, it gains an additional, much smaller hit. She won't be doing as much damage per hit as other Dolls, but the hits do add up and she will shred through enemy Shield toughness with reckless abandon.
• Friendless Background: Becoming the fated destroyer of your kingdom doesn't exactly make you welcome to everyone. Because her parents couldn't give her a Mercy Kill due to the fully-grown vines protecting her, destroying the royal castle and killing her mother, she ended up being locked inside a hidden estate for years. She had a maid accompanying her during these early parts of her life, but she later ran away and abandoned Aurora to her fate (or maybe that's just what Aurora believes, and the maid was actually devoured by Aurora's tentacles as an unfortunate bystander. Aurora never saw what happened to the maid besides a still-full fruit basket of hers left behind, right after Aurora's tentacles went nuts devouring an assassin).
• The Hedge of Thorns: Only this time, the hedge of thorns are actually a part of her body, no thanks to the Curse.
• Hero-Worshipper: Has two "heroes" she holds dear in her heart: the first is an old scholar that kept her company, acted like a father figure to her, and tried to help her control her curse during her exile, and the second is the Evoker who "spirited her away" after her death, so to say.
• Hope Spot: In her Past story, she got this when the old scholar theorizes that she may be "freed" of the curse if she manages to control her vines by the time she turns 16. Not revealed yet in her Past story (as any Past story beyond Bond Lvl 38 hasn't been released yet), but unlockable dialogue and a part of her Present story points at it failing and ending up taking the old scholar's life.
• Kidnapped While Sleeping: Believed this to be the case in her first meeting with the Evoker, until he explained the circumstances (while hiding some truths for her sake).
• Mercy Kill: Her parents attempted to do this to her following the suggestions of the nobles. They fail as the curse had fully manifested to protect the girl, its lifeline, from death.
• Messy Hair: A little bit due to her upbringing.
• Odd Friendship: Strikes one with Ax-Crazy florist Freesia, who would sometimes "trim" her vines for her according to her "Chat - Other Dolls" voiceline.
• Plagued by Nightmares: Ever since her vines awakened, she has been plagued with nightmares whenever she sleeps. Also, her Lightning-oriented Ultimate that turns her into The Berserker inflicts her with the "Nightmare" status effect for two turns, shown by her skill cut-in as a door with many malicious eyes staring at her.
• Precocious Crush: Despite her chronological age being within the same range as the Evoker, who's 18 at the very least, all because of her stunted physical and emotional growth due to the Curse and her exile, she can appear to be this to the general public and players unaware of her age, as she sees him as her valiant savior and loyal knight, and since she does like fairy tales and romances between princesses and their knights...
• Older Than They Look: You wouldn't expect her to actually be 18 years old given her smaller stature and precocious demeanor, especially compared to other Dolls close to or at the same age as her that are much more mature both in body and mind.
• Really Fond of Sleeping: Given what she's based off of, this is sort of expected. Being locked away from society would give someone too much free time, after all. Her dreams aren't always great though.
• Resurrective Immortality: Her curse awakening has practically made her survive several attempts on her life that would've already killed her. Her being summoned as a Doll means that her immortality had its limits though.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Though reluctant, she helps the Evoker with Graveland investigations as expected of a Doll on duty. Her vines do the fighting for her.
• Shrinking Violet: Her experiences before ending up in Continent Crescent as a Doll is still fresh on her mind, so she's shown to be very scared and withdrawn, at least until her so-called "knight", the Evoker, "freed" her from her plight and helped her open up to people.
• The Shut-In: Forced to become one after her curse prematurely awakened, destroyed the castle, and took her mother's life.
• Tragic Keepsake: The red pendant she wears is from her mother when her and the nobles attempted to have her mercy killed to save the kingdom and spare her from the curse, but it failed because her curse had already fully manifested as a living monster. To make it worse, said curse did somewhat destroy the kingdom and got her mother killed.
• Twice-Told Tale: Her lore follows the Sleeping Beauty blueprint, even down to her name being a Shout-Out to Tchaikovsky's and Disney's takes on said tale, but in her case, she was cursed to grow plant-like tendrils that possess fire and lightning powers, essences that the other two fairies gave her as gifts, and on her 16th birthday, become the very cause of her kingdom's destruction.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In a patrol story at the Waterfront, she walks by and feels the gaze of many passerby on her back. Scared and conscious of the thorns on her back, she runs off when one passerby tries to ask her a question. It later turns out that they were interested in the ducklings following behind Aurora rather than the thorns.
• You Can't Fight Fate: Her own parents even tried to give her a Mercy Kill to avert her fate. Of course it doesn't work, and said curse did end up causing great damage to the kingdom.

Benten Kaminori

"Demonic presence detected! I, the numba wan exorcist, am here to purge!"

Title: No.1 Exorcist

Height and weight: 5'1"/99 lbs

Age: 16

Zodiac:

Birthday: May 5

Element/s: Fire-Physical/Lightning

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Rie Takahashi

A self-proclaimed "numba wan" exorcist disguising as a maid.

---

• All Just a Dream: Benten initially thinks this is the case after being resurrected as a Doll in Litoris. This is likely because in the past, Benten never had any super powers in reality, although she liked to pretend she did. After she was knocked into a coma by a serial killer however, she dreamed she was a super hero exorcist, protecting people from all sorts of horrific monsters and youkai with her newfound super exorcism powers. Unlike most cases of the trope, Benten never woke up from that dream and died while still in a coma, which is probably why she still thinks Litoris' world is a dream, too. Apparently having super powers in her dreams let her keep them after becoming a Doll in a new reality.
• Big Eater: She eats a lot, not having had much to eat back in her past life where she only ever heard of cake as a "fairy tale".
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's silly, she fantasizes a lot, and she's a public annoyance, but she can very much back her claims of being an exorcist by dint of her powers. It's notable that in her Lv. 5 Present story, she summons her bow to knock out a rampaging bear in one shot, even when outside of Graveland (although she strangely couldn't do it earlier in her first Present story).
• Chuunibyou: While she does have actual powers, her attitude and appearance resembles one. Bonus points for having a seiyuu that has a well-known role of another chuuni with actual powers. Except she was an actual chuuni in the past; Benten is from a relatively normal world but ran around pretending to be a superhero while claiming she had super powers when she didn't. She only had super powers in her dreams, literally.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Even among the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits that are the Dolls, she's the most "out there" type among the girls, with her personality practically being comic relief, not to mention her Genre Savvy shticks.
  • This is a constant headache for our poor Evoker as her Present and Date storylines show. In their first meeting alone, she babbles about shonen manga tropes and assumes the worst of her "summoner", and even after the Evoker uses her manga logic to explain the situation, she thinks he's some kind of evil spirit in disguise instead. Later stories usually involve her being a public disturbance with the Evoker following to clean up her mess.
  • In Golden Bough and Seven Wishes, Dreizehn is the Straight Man to the rest of her party and their various quirks (Lilyiro's Hot-Blooded tendencies, Andrea's Split Personality, and Juewa's cat meowrior puns). Despite this, she's perfectly capable of understanding what they're saying and never has to ask them for clarification—except Benten. Eventually all her other party members admit they have trouble understanding the things Benten says, too.
• Energy Bow: Ame-no-Makakoyumi, a feather duster that can turn into a bow which fires arrows made of chakra energy.. In-game, this is what makes up her Fire-Physical Attacker skillset.
• Genre Savvy: Sometimes talks in game lingo, and would sometimes call out terms like "NPC", "starter village", and "tutorials" when traversing Graveland. This is likely because she comes from a modern world where super powers didn't exist and she never had any either except in her dreams. She probably feels like she got sucked into a videogame.
• Hidden Buxom: Her circus-themed skin actually shows that she's a bit more decked out than she initially appears.
• Hidden Depths: To anyone who knows about her personality, they might be forgiven for thinking that when she says she's training, she's probably fooling around, not helped by the trouble she causes. But she really means it—and it's a problem. Her Lv. 18 Present story shows her keeping a detailed record of her missions in Graveland... and that she deliberately hid her grievous injuries in one fight. And the training she was in at the time was harsh enough to injure her arms to merit the Evoker scolding and tending to her.
• Meido: In practice, even if she dresses like one, this is more of a decorative title given that she does more exorcist work than maid work.
• The Nicknamer: Likes giving nicknames to the other Dolls, with notable examples being "Juewa Meow" for Juewa, "Lily" for Lilyiro, and "Gundam/Gundam Andrea" for Andrea. Especially shown in Golden Bough and Seven Wishes, where she refers to Dreizehn as "Silver Blue" and would constantly refer to the other party members with her appointed nicknames.
• Open Secret: At least for the first few episode of her Bond stories, she still thinks her being in Litoris and Graveland is a dream, so she blurts out that she's secretly an exorcist while working as a maid.
• Power Incontinence: In her first Present story, she tries to show off her powers but couldn't, leaving her confused while the Evoker looks on unimpressed. It's only during her Lv. 5 Present story that she successfully summons her bow this time to knock out a rampaging boar. The reason for why the earlier mishap happened at all isn't explained, but given that she only dreamed of being an exorcist when she was alive and now has real powers as a Doll, and that she assumed she was dreaming upon being evoked until she's convinced that she really is awake in another world, it can be speculated that to use her exorcist powers, she has to believe she can use her powers with full awareness of reality rather than as a dreamer.
• Spam Attack: Her shtick as an Physical-Fire Attacker. This skillset gives her a passive skill that allows her to perform a follow-up attack whenever other party members perform an attack, which allows for 5 or more consecutive follow-up attacks when a party member performs a wide AoE skill and the passive activates for each hit. In addition, her Ultimate, Supa Barrage, allows her to fire a volley of 5 arrows (2 Physical and 3 Fire) onto random enemies, which makes it very helpful in breaking singular bosses with Physical and Fire weaknesses.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: If there is a weak point to the Numba Wan Exorcist, it'd be her fear of spiders, which she considers to be more demonic than the demons she exorcises.

Clotho

Title: Secluded Witch

Height and weight: 166cm/53kg

Zodiac: Leo

Birthday: August 16

Element/s: Physical/Lightning

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Reina Kondo

Quiet, unassuming, and elegant, yet prominently guarded by a stalwart puppet she dubbed "Clothotho", this noblewoman in a wheelchair was once a princess of the Klanot Empire in her world... and infamous enough to be called a witch. Despite her disability and muteness in her childhood, she has the ability to control miniscule creatures called "micro fairies", using them to communicate through the puppets she makes and enact justice from the shadows.

---

• Disability Superpower: When she lost the use of her legs to an extreme fever, she gained the ability to communicate with "micro fairies", microscopic beings that she can use to animate her dolls and speak to people through them.
• Ethereal White Dress: Wears a snow-white dress with intricate lace and patterns befitting her former role of Imperial Princess.
• Foil: To Colcher, being a fellow magical princess who do their best to help others in need. The difference is that Colcher has been raised with love and takes her duties seriously, while Clotho had been a social pariah, an outcast of the family, and, though no less dutiful, is a lot more relaxed and silly.
• Marionette Master: She can control micro fairies into inhabiting her puppets, including Clothotho. She can also "program" them to operate on their automatically, letting the animal dolls in her diorama imitate people's daily lives in her Present storyline. After Little Sister Rabbit got burnt in an accident though, it's heavily implied that all the mistakes they're making, especially Big Sister Rabbit seemingly forcing a smile, are a result of them gaining a consciousness.
• Off with Her Head!: In the first Present episode, the prologue starts off with someone's point of view who is looking at the sky when until it went black from a "dropping pitch-black blade"; given the bond between Evokers and Dolls, it was likely a memory of Clotho's last moments before she was executed by a guillotine.
• Psychosomatic Superpower Outage: Her control over micro fairies is dependent on her will, so if she gets flustered or emotional, she'll immediately lose her connection to her puppets and flail around momentarily trying to talk.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Despite having suffered from neglect by her royal family, she still fought for her suffering people and rooted out corruption however she could. This is a common point she has with Colcher that in a mutual story with them together, they read newspapers and list the various problems Litoris faces, no matter how small and large they are, decided they'll do something about them, then defer respect to each other at the end.
• The Unfavorite: Her muteness made her the black sheep of her royal family, most of all her mother. This led her to be the most neglected of the children who saw her muteness as a mental illness even though it wasn't true, with her paraplegia and ability to control micro fairies (which no one else could see) making things worse.
• Wicked Witch: Subverted; she tries to play up the image of a haughty witch to the Evoker on their first meeting, expecting him to revile her. However, the Evoker's spiritual connection to her lets him know her true nature and dismiss her witch title (he also has plenty of experience dealing with troublemakers and pariahs), flustering Clotho.

Colcher

"If there must be sacrifice, let it be mine."

Title: Princess Saint

Height and weight: 162cm/51kg

Age: 17

Zodiac: Libra

Birthday: October 10

Element/s: Shadow/Frost

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Kaori Nazuka

The crown princess of the Solitary Realm. She was supposed to be the heir to the throne, until a devastating war forced her to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

---

• Animal Theme Naming: She is called "The Stubborn Swan" by civilians in her Level 33 Present story for her tireless efforts in renovating Litoris's Waterfront, although the Evoker muses it might get changed to "Scary Swan" after the angry episode she unleashed that day.
• Blue Means Cold: Her hair and dress are colored in various shades of blue, matching the ice spells she casts.
• Dangerous 16th Birthday: As revealed in her Past story, the war she would later sacrifice her life to stop would start right on her 16th birthday, right when she became the crown princess of the Solitary Realm. Her coronation was used as a trap to gather the fairies in one place to be killed by humans, who decided to fight back against who they actually saw as their oppressors.
• Defrosting Ice Queen: Once the Evoker tells her that this "afterlife" is her well-deserved break, she starts being a bit more relaxed, especially with the Evoker.
• Good Is Not Soft: Although she never fails to maintain a veneer of politeness no matter the unpleasantries directed at her, she draws the line in the Level 18 Present story where a child gets used to lure her to his house by his father trying to filch money. Instead, Colcher scolds and magically beats him up until the guy is swearing to pay for his crimes.
• Heroic BSoD: During her Level 33 affinity story, Colcher works part-time at a café she likes in an earlier story, causing her to be absent from guarding the Evoker when he goes to investigate a rebel group. He only gets slight injuries when the rebels ambush him after, but this causes Colcher to blame herself and quit the job. It takes some reassurance from the Evoker to have her take up part-time work again.
• Heroic Sacrifice: How she died in her home world. A great war forced her to sacrifice herself to make the warring races finally stop and reclaim peace.
• I Am X, Son of Y: How she addresses herself along with some titles in her intro Present story ("I am Colcher of House Frostborn, heiress of the Solitary Realm, the Princess Saint, daughter of...") before cutting herself off and telling the Evoker to address her by name. Being the daughter of a queen that started a war against fairies in her world, however justified the reasons in doing so were, probably isn't so great a title to have.
• Ice Queen: Rather stoic and can use Frost as one of her two elements.
• Modest Royalty: Even before she became more of a princess in name after her arrival in Continent Crescent, she was always close to the common folk as part of her royal duties. In fact, she ended up liking milk tea a lot after becoming a Doll and experiencing the drink for the first time.
• Rebellious Princess: Describes her childhood self as such, as she was much more energetic and averse to wanting the throne than her present self. At one point, she tried getting her mother, the Queen, to break her composure by switching her favorite sauce with a spicy one. The Queen never faltered and Colcher had to learn her lesson by eating with the sauce she used.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Despite her kingdom flourishing in peacetime under a new ruler after her death, and the now-former queen being unable to do anything about it being in another world and all, Colcher performs her duties as a Doll in addition to studying Litoris's infrastructure to help better the lives of its people.
• Spam Attack: Her Ultimate Skill as a Supporter has her cast the Echoes status effect on anyone other than herself for two turns. This allows the buffed character to be able to use their own Ultimate and then use it again immediately with no additional SP cost within the duration of the buff. The effect only activates once and must be recast again once used.
• Tragic Keepsake: The Magic Staff she uses, "Glacial Grace", came from the Fairy Queen who was eventually betrayed and killed by the human queen, Colcher's mother, on her 16th birthday when she received said staff.
• Winter Royal Lady: She's a calm and dignified (former, metaphorical, and literal) Ice Queen who wields a staff shaped after a snowflake, her last name is "Frostborn", casts ice magic, has pale blue hair, wears a dress also in blue colors, and unintentionally has people assuming she's a noblewoman and address her as "Lady Colcher".
• Wintry Auroral Sky: Her Shadow Ultimate Skill cut-in shows a night sky lit up by an aurora before bathing the target Doll in its light.

Dolores

Title: Sylvan Demon

Height and weight: 120cm/20kg

Zodiac: Aquarius

Birthday: May 5

Element/s: Fire-Physical/Shadow

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Aimi Tanaka

Last of an extinct race known as the Sylvan Kin of her world, this diminutive girl is a farmer with an untold number of years living being wary of the humans who took her mother. Even so, she is a kind girl at heart.

---

• A Day in the Limelight: She is the focus Doll of Cultivation Cradle.
• After the End: In Dolores' Present storyline, humanity falls to a disease that turns people into mutant pudding, with Dolores and the Evoker as the only survivors who must use Dolores' plants to fend off the zombie horde for as long as they can. It turns out be All a Dream, though, courtesy of an incense Deanna carelessly left lying around.
• The Beastmaster: She can talk to animals, and commands armies of butterflies that she uses in many of her attacks.
• Dead to Begin With: Possibly averted ("possibly", because her full past hasn't been released yet), unlike the other Dolls. When the Evoker evokes her, it yanks her straight from her farm into Litoris. Dolores is not very amused at this and forces the Evoker to pay her back.
• Does Not Like Spam: She sneaks green peppers onto the Evoker's plate during dinner on their second Date. Apparently she never grew out of that point in her childhood.
• Fantastic Racism:
  • She's against any and all humans, having been raised on stories by her mother that warn about a human's cunning, and humans taking her mother during her childhood. Since then, she detests all humans, the Evoker included, though she's not heartless enough to keep them miserable.
  • During the Cultivation Cradle event, any humans transferred to her dream world came over as cute fluffy rodents instead; the Evoker was a hedgehog while the other Dolls were rabbits. Fortunately Lilyiro (an elf-goblin) and Juewa (a cat humanoid) aren't human, so the Evoker's party wasn't completely helpless. By the end of the event, Dolores acknowledges that at least some humans such as the Evoker are nice.
• The Fair Folk: She has shades of this, as expected of a sylph. She'll do things like trap the Evoker in a fantastical dream world filled with secret tests of character (twice), and has a little bit of trouble understanding human society. Her butterflies are referred to as "bewitching butterflies" and her ability to communicate with animals and make crops grow is fantastical. For all her childish innocence, she also can be surprisingly mischievous sometimes.
• Hypocrite: Played for humor. She hates humans and constantly declares it's because humans are "cunning" (IE, liars and tricksters who can't be trusted). When she gets evoked into Litoris, she refuses to trust the Evoker despite meeting him previously, on the grounds that he might actually be a different "cunning" human pretending to be the Evoker. Thus she constantly chastises the Evoker and forces him to be nice to her to prove himself, up to and including yanking him into a dream world yet again without him realizing it and making him undergo a secret test of character to prove he won't betray her. When the Evoker realizes that entire apocalyptic scenario was all just a dream, he remarks that Dolores was the real "cunning" one all along. Her thoughts after oathing with her reveals she knew it was the Evoker from the start. She lied about suspecting him to be an imposter just to troll him a bit and force him to be extra nice and obedient to her.
• Insistent Terminology: She gets annoyed when she's called a fairy and insists she's a proud member of the Sylvanite race.
• Green Thumb: She's a harvest fairy (well, sylph) and also a farmer by profession. Many of her support skills are based around creating farm produce.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's the tiniest Doll so far, Ruri taking second place in terms of shortness and lightness, but likewise capable nevertheless with her spells.
• Really 700 Years Old: She looks like a little child, yet she's over one thousand years old. She may actually be a child by her species' standards though considering her mother looked like an adult by the time she was born.
• Shout-Out: Her Present scenario takes place After the End, where she and the Evoker grow Dolores' army of monster cabbages to defend their home against a horde of living pudding.
• Womanchild: Despite her age spanning an entire millennium and the maturity that comes with it, she's still prone to acting like a child. This can be attributed to her mother being taken from her by the humans early on in her childhood (even if it's been a couple decades), forcing Dolores to grow up without an trusted adult figure to look up to.
• Wrench Wench: In her second Date, she states she made all her farming tools, and was able to fix a music box despite never seeing it before.

Dreizehn

"Trooper ID No.13, Dreizehn. Are you the new commander? I'm ready for your orders."

Title: Death No.13

Height and weight: 165cm/49kg

Zodiac: Pisces

Birthday: March 13

Element/s: Physical/Lightning

Role/s: Defender/Attacker

Voiced by: Yui Ishikawa

A robotic soldier with an organic right arm. The epitome of loyalty and fearlessness, she is not afraid of dying, and treats her feeling of pain as proof of her existence.

---

• Apologizes a Lot: Given the dozens of times you hear it in her voice lines, stories and appearances combined, you could easily make a drinking game out of it.
• Blue Is Heroic: In addition to her silver color theme, blue is also prominent; the lightning thrown around in her skill animations are bright blue, her own eyes are a dull blue, Benten calls her "Silver Blue", and she wields a blue lightblade as the protagonist of the Dream Quest v5.0 event.
• A Day in the Limelight:
  • She's the featured Doll and the main playable character the player controls in the RPG Event Golden Bough and Seven Wishes.
  • She once again is the protagonist of another event, Dream Quest v5.0, an Affectionate Parody to another lightsaber-and-lasers space opera where she is a lightning-throwing Arc Knight.
• Expy: Of Violet Evergarden.
  • Both are soldiers who used to serve in military organizations and are Emotionless Girls torn between their perceived identities as weapons and people.
  • Both have artificial limbs, albeit somewhat as inversions of each other; Dreizehn's body is entirely artificial save for her right arm, while Violet's body is entirely human except for both of her arms.
  • Both have the same voice actor.
• Feel No Pain: Defied. Even though she's mostly a Super-Soldier Robot Girl, she can feel pain and believes that the feeling proves that she's alive in some form. In battle, particularly when using her Physical Defender skills, she can gain a status effect named Pain when attacked, which boosts her HP with each stack. To drive the point further, some of the foods she likes are the kind that are well-seasoned (e.g. Honey Fish, Spicy Pork, and BBQ Fungi).
  Food - Special 2 line: It should be sweet to drink, but what does sweet... really taste like?
• Fishing Minigame: She goes fishing in the Golden Bough event, which you can keep playing to farm fish as ingredients for buffing items. This gets a Call-Back in her Date, "Achievement", where even though she doesn't remember said event, she's still familiar enough with a fishing rod and snags every fish at a stall all the way to a golden carp.
• Heal Thyself: As a Defender, her skills Silver Strike and Blue Impact are plain single-target attacks that pale in comparison to a dedicated Attacker^*the former can give a defense buff on use when upgraded, while the latter is a damage-focused version; they are best used to chip away at a Break Meter (Blue Impact for Vulnerable enemies) while saving SP for her Ultimate, Super Cyborg, which heals herself by a certain amount of HP, with additional healing coming from each stack of Pain that she currently has.
• Master Swordswoman: She uses a thin longsword she conjures to great effect in battle. Past Chapter VIII has her show this effectiveness in a battle against gunmen, demonstrating Super-Speed, consistently clean cuts (one slash going through two), and dodging and Parrying Bullets.
• Meaningful Name: "Dreizehn" in German means "thirteen". Her title is "Death No.13".
• Ridiculously Human Robot: The only things that are "human" about her is her organic right arm and her awareness of pain, but as shown with Akaset, this does not bar her from having a soul that can be summoned to Continent Crescent to become a Doll.
• Sense Loss Sadness: She does not exhibit much sorrow over her cyborg conversion taking away most of her senses, but the fact that she does consider feeling pain through her fleshy right arm as proof of living at least suggests she’s bothered.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: While she doesn't display it overtly given her lack of emotions, she shows signs here and there such as once shielding the Evoker when she hears artillery-like explosions, only to be told those were fireworks.
• Shock and Awe:
  • Her skillset as an AoE Attacker has her raining down plasma, with the passive skill Sword of Storms activating every time the team gets off a certain number of Lightning attacks^note Every 6 times at base level, lowered to 5 after upgrades.
  • Exaggerated in the Dream Quest v5.0 event, where she is an "Arc Knight", a user of the Electro-Magnetic Force, which allows her to coat her sword in plasma, telekinesis, mind-reading, Combat Clairvoyance, and so on.
• The Stoic: At the very start, she makes forlorn expressions at most and is completely stony for the rest of the time as she awaits orders like she did in her previous life. It takes bonding with her that she starts acting on impulse.
• Unwilling Roboticisation: What her 'rescuers' did to her and other children when she was young to conscript more soldiers for their battles.
• Victoria's Secret Compartment: She sheathes her sword within her chest, which would be shown as glowing with blue light in such cases.
• What Is This Feeling?: She often voices these kind of questions aloud, having been a Robot Girl made to fight all her life. This then gets said word for word by Dreizehn in her ninth Date, which apparently happens when she holds her mechanical hand with the Evoker's. When they both think it's her arm malfunctioning, the old mechanic they visit for repairs finds none and practically jeers at them when they still don't know why it's happening, even giving them tickets (meant for himself and a tribute to his departed wife) to a theatre for their date.

Ennis

"Would you like to join me for a dance, evoker?"

Title: Crimson Rose

Height and weight: 162cm/52kg

Age: 21

Zodiac: Capricornus

Birthday: December 22

Element/s: Shadow/Lightning

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō

A seemingly high-class woman of great charm who in reality is a spy with all the guile and poise necessary for such work. Despite this shady side to her, she has a soft spot for people good at heart.

---

• Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Later Present and Date stories have her rooting out various illegal and malevolent organizations for the Evoker's sake, lest he ends up dirtying his hands instead of being an Ideal Hero as Ennis sees it.
• Counter-Attack: Ennis's Lightning Ultimate, Lightning Form, grants her the Intangibility buff, increasing her defense, reducing damage taken, restore 1% of her HP per debuff negated (up to 4 times a turn), and—upon its third upgrade—return 10% of the damage she takes to the attacker. The counter-attack itself isn't much, but it's useful against multiple enemies gunning for a single Defender.
• Femme Fatale Spy: Fits this trope like a glove, at least mostly until you get to know her.
• Friend to All Children: Very prominently during her Dates, ensuring that whichever criminal tries to involve them in a scheme gets the message to leave them alone. Also in Dream Quest v2.0, she is summoned (without the Evoker's prompting) to watch over NPC children.
• Gathering Steam: Her Special Skill, Excellence, increases her attack at the start of a turn per 20 SP she has. When it reaches 10 stacks, it grants the Perfection buff that lets her repeat any skill she casts at half its damage done.
• Guile Hero: A Date story has her perfectly responding to every single one of a con artist's tricks with her own. One crowning example is when the conman showed a dead pigeon he claimed that belonged to him, and that the Evoker and Ennis killed it, Ennis secretly animated the bird with electricity to pretend it's still alive and made the ruse backfire on the conman.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: Being a spy, she may not wear her heart on her sleeve, but her stories show she tends to care for other people more than what might be expected of someone so closed off.
• Lady of Black Magic: She is a high-class woman who learned magic (ostensibly) for self-defense, being skilled enough to use lightning magic to reanimate a pigeon as seen in Guile Hero. You can thank her training as a spy with The Empire back in her past life for that. In-game, her first skillset is Shadow-focused and gears her as an Attacker, but her second has her use Lightning as a Defender.
• Laughing Mad: Seen towards the late end of her Past as a child when the mines she worked in were bombed, miraculously leaving her as the Sole Survivor where she was picked up by The Empire.
• Rags to Riches: You wouldn't know it from her Pimped-Out Dress or her playfulness, but when she was a little girl in life, she was a penniless maid to an abusive noble before running away in search of a better life, only to be forced to work in a mine until she survived it being bombed before she rose to her position as a spy. This is hinted at by her like of common fare (e.g. Bun, Meat Ball, Meat Stew) and the scars she mentions in one hand-touch voice line.
• Ship Tease: Regardless of whether you've given her an Oath Ring, she tends to act very intimately with the Evoker during story events.
  • When she appears to take care of children at an orphanage in Dream Quest v2.0, she acts aggressively close to the Evoker that it flusters him even without her saying much. It's to the point that Bettie the caretaker told the watching NPC children to close their eyes so that they can kiss each other (which doesn't happen).
  • In Dream Quest v4.0, she kisses the Evoker right on the lips, and throughout the event, acts favorably towards him. The ending of the event also makes it clear that she, along with the Dolls regardless of their persona in the 'game', will always support him.
• Silk Hiding Steel: Beneath the Mask? As expected of a spy. Literally? The black veil she wears hides blades.
• Something about a Rose: Features red roses as part of her clothing, carries one around, mentions them in her voice lines, and her veil hiding blades is an obvious allusion to a rose with thorns. Very fitting for a woman who merely looks innocuous.
• The Spymaster: Was the director of the Empire's spies back in her world.
• The Tease: Very much so to the Evoker, where she usually first tells a vague statement, a lie, or a joke before giving a proper explanation (assuming that she gives one, and she can still play coy about it). And of course, there are her flirty voice lines...
  Chat 2 line: Shh... I seem to hear... your heartbeats.
• The Tragic Rose: Fittingly and unfortunately, her upper-classwoman personality hides a Dark and Troubled Past of having gone from Rags to Riches.

• Adult Hater: Due to her Dark and Troubled Past, she became distrustful of adults or anyone trying to get close to her, that is until the Evoker came along and helped mitigate her distrust. Case in point, her first Present has her try to kill the Evoker because she didn't want to be locked up in a house again.
• Ax-Crazy: Owing to her Dark and Troubled Past, she can be a little... violent when it comes to certain matters.
• Body to Jewel: Her tears can crystallize and become gems, which is why her once-beloved village exploited her for money once exposed. She utilizes this as a Defender through her unique status effect "Teardrop", which raises her defense whenever she takes a turn or is attacked directly.
• Caring Gardener: However unhinged she acts, she is an expert gardener who treats whatever she grows with love. This is also part of why she gets along with Aurora, whose thorns she helps in trimming.
• "Everybody Dies" Ending: In the final chapters of her past, the trauma of being tortured by everyone as well as sold out and betrayed by her childhood friend causes her power to go berserk, causing everyone in the entire town to go insane and kill each other and themselves. Freesia was the only one left alive, but unable to cope with her emotional turmoil, commits suicide soon afterwards.
• Expy: That she somehow got her teardrop gems from a shooting star passing by and that power being capable of inducing insanity has a few points in common with The Color Out of Space.
• Flower Motifs: 'Freesia' is the name of a flower, the Doll herself is a knowledgeable florist, likes flower-related gifts, wears flower decorations, and often talks about flowers in her voice lines.
• Innocent Flower Girl: Subverted. She used to be this when she lived until her once-friendly villagers exploited her ability to produce tear-dropped gems.
• Life Drain: The main mechanic of her second skillset.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: A child that takes the role of the player's starter tank, and is incredibly good at being one too. In-story at one point, she goes to a noble’s house to play with a friend only for it to be a setup for a kidnapping. The Evoker finds out, arrives at the house where she's at and calls for her, expecting to rescue her himself when the girl hears him and casually breaks through a wall without bothering to use her scythe. The only reason why she didn't do it earlier was because the Evoker made her promise to behave.
• Precocious Crush: Endears herself to the Evoker pretty quickly once she realizes he can be trusted even if he's more or less a young adult.
• Sinister Scythe: Wields one in battle and, depending on her mood (or equipped skillset), may be one of the most unhinged Dolls in the roster.
• Starter Mon: She's the players' starting tanker.
• Yandere: Getting to her highest bond level has her start acting like this to the Evoker. This persists in most other stories.
  • During her eighth Date, she wards off a woman coming on to the Evoker by sitting on the latter's lap and pulling out her scythe.
  • In Chapter XIV, she declares that anyone daring to harm the Evoker will meet her scythe. She also warns Alaph moving close to the Evoker that proper girls shouldn't get too close to boys (although this leads to the surprise of Alaph revealing "she" has no gender).
  • In Cultivation Cradle, when she was transformed into a bunny, she pulls on Dolores's dress because she got upset at her and the Evoker getting close with each other. Then later when Lilyiro and Juewa accuse the Evoker of harassing Dolores because of how strangely quiet she was, Freesia joins in on silently glaring at him despite having accompanied them and should know they haven't.
  • When messaging the chat group for the first time in the second season of Monster Academy, she suddenly pops up to everyone's confusion, and is clearly irritated by her Evoker knowing lots of people that it scares everyone reading.

Gawana

"Hello again. I'm not interested in new adventures, but I think we both need an answer."

Title: Pristine Starfire

Height and weight: 165cm/55kg

Age: 17

Zodiac: Taurus

Element/s: Fire/Physical

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi

The daughter of the Nhawu chief, she is a witch doctor who was tasked to save her tribe from extinction, but ultimately failed and lost her self while doing so.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: Her monsterized form that she took as the final boss and antagonist of her main story arc might somehow still exist, due to the Order capturing defeated monsters from the graveland in an attempt to reform them. She shows up in the Monster Academy 2 chat room, albeit unnamed so it can't be confirmed if that's Gawana's or just another captured monster that also looks like her monster form. However, further evidence that it might actually have been her shows up in the Order's monster mine, where a sign boasts "Gawana" was one of the monsters that was successfully reformed and graduated from the mine. The Evoker is utterly confused by this and concludes it's probably a lie.
• The Atoner: Failed to save her tribe and loved ones from being Reduced to Dust, and is obviously trying to repent for it.
• Barbarian Long Hair: She's a barbarian, and her hair is as long as she is tall, to the point where she can lie down on it as a secondary picnic blanket in her tryst.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gawana and the Evoker are the Brooding Girl and the Gentle Boy, being a gender reversal of the usual trope. The Evoker’s efforts to cheer her up do eventually pay off by the end of her Date and Present storylines.
• A Day in the Limelight: Appears as an important NPC and later revealed to be the main antagonist for the Wild Crater chapters of Graveland.
• Downer Ending: Her arc in the main story ends with her being unable to accept that her village just wanted her to be happy instead of resurrecting them, and she fades away in despair. Eventually she would be added as a playable character, with her rebirth as a Doll taking place after the main story where the Evoker can help her get over her trauma in her new life.
• Dragon Tamer: Has a pet wyvern named Becca that eventually died and is now living on as a spirit that helps Gawana from time to time, particularly in Gawana's fire skillset.
• Early-Bird Cameo: If you reached the Wild Crater chapters before she was added as a playable character in a later update, you would know her first as a significant NPC there.
• Face–Heel Turn: Pulls this off by the end of Chapter VI, as she expressed frustration at realizing that the Dolls cannot be sacrificed for the revival of her tribe as they're Dead to Begin With.
• Foil: To Lilyiro; both come from hunter-gatherer tribes, dress rather skimpily, have one Physical skillset and another magical (Lilyiro's being Lightning, and Gawana's Fire), and have suffered loss in the past. However, Lilyiro is solely an Attacker in both of her skillsets while Gawana uses Physical skills as a Supporter, Lilyiro is more of a Stepford Smiler whereas Gawana openly suffers from Survivor Guilt, and Gawana is an antagonist when she still lived before becoming a Doll and Lilyiro has been the Evoker's Doll from the start.
  Chat - Other Dolls line: I never thought someone could still keep smiling after going through that kind of tragedy... Lilyiro has a truly strong mind. She will be the one who tames the world.
• Heel–Face Turn: Fully enforced when you summon her after finishing Chapter VII, as she's revealed to be the main antagonist of Chapters V-VII.
• It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Ever since she was born, she was put on a pedestal as her tribe's savior from their destabilizing world. She ultimately fails and becomes a fully-fledged atoner in part due to the pressure.
• Nubile Savage: She's a member of a nomadic hunter-gatherer tribe trying to escape the desertification of the world for as long as possible, and clearly dresses the part in what amounts to a furry bikini that covers a bit more that normal ones do.
• Please, Don't Leave Me: Is audibly shaken up when you don't return to the game for more than 7 days and you set her as secretary.
• Trial by Combat: A benign example happens in her twelfth Date, "Winner's Power". She takes the Evoker to a quiet spot for a potentially rib-breaking training duel batting each other with foam sticks. Though the Evoker does his best and Gawana handicaps herself for fairness^note she is restricted to using her left hand, and will be penalized with the Evoker getting three points if she moves more than two steps at a time or turns around, the latter comes out on top. Gawana then explains it's a traditional ritual witnessed by her tribe, held between a husband and wife to determine who's more suited for hunting... and reveals that the winner is also given "initiative" to do whatever they want to the loser. Then Gawana pushes down the Evoker, with the rest left to the imagination.
• Tsundere: Shows sides of this as she goes from acting sullen to subtly considerate.
  Greeting - Evening - Friend line: ...Do you want to eat together? Don't mistake it as an invitation. I'm just hungry.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: In Graveland chapter VII, it's revealed that Gawana had Immortality forced on her by her tribe, who sacrificed their lives in a ritual for her. She believed for the longest time that it was for the sake of her fulfilling her duty, when in fact her father and the tribe wanted her to live on without them.
• Witch Doctor: Her job title, and reflected in both of her skillsets.

Inori Amane

"I have already fulfilled my wishes. Why am I reborn? If I was drawn by your dream, I would feel ashamed for being an unsatisfied angel."

Title: Azure Wings

Height and weight: 170cm/55kg

Zodiac: Aquarius

Element/s: Shadow/Frost

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Kana Ichinose

An essence of pure light that was once a perky junior high school girl, now housed within a mature-looking body reminiscent of an angel.

---

• Big Eater: Inori eats 18 bowls of ramen noodles in one sitting, and that's just one example. She claims she eats a lot because she's a growing girl.
• Casting a Shadow: Her Attacker skillset, with single-target SP skills geared for Spam Attack and inflicting debuffs that ups the enemy's damage taken from other Shadow attacks.
• Clone Angst: Inori quickly realizes that she's not actually the original Inori, but instead is a being of light born from Inori's wishes that has all of Inori's memories and personalities. She's able to ignore this for the most part, but her mother can tell that she's angsting about it deep down. Fortunately, her mother assures Inori that as one who has Inori's memories, Inori's personality, and thinks like Inori, she IS Inori and always will be in her mother's eyes.
• Friendly Rivalry: With Satya, though Satya won't directly admit it's friendly. Satya's a demon while Inori is angelic themed, and Satya's pride thus dictates she not be upstaged whenever the two are working together. She constantly refers to Inori with seemingly derogatory names like "Angejoke" and "Fake Angel". "Seemingly", because as stated by Satya at the start of Chapter 11, she actually means "Fake Angel" as a compliment (Satya justifiably HATES the real angels from her world for being tyrannical murderous Knight Templars. The real angels from Inori's world were also horrific in a different way, too). Inori, being an energetic Nice Girl, is more than happy to participate in the rivalry, and is much more overtly friendly about it, much to Satya's frustration.
• An Ice Person: Her skillset as a Supporter focuses on increasing allied Frost attacks and putting enemies under the Frozen debuff.
• Otaku: She loved anime in her prior life, and she relishes in how she's basically an anime protagonist as a Doll. She adores it when the Evoker calls her "senpai", forcefully makes him join her Supernatural Club (her "weeb club", according to the Evoker, which is a derogatory term for anime geeks), and she shouts out attack names ("Amane Beam!") so embarrassing that even her own mother cringes at them. Even in gameplay, ALL of her skills are named "Amane [Whatever]".
• Soul Eating: She may be a Big Eater, but she considers a buffet's worth of food as a mere appetizer. What she really eats are other people's souls, and back then as an angel, she ate other angels that lacked a consciousness like she did whom she compared to chickens.
• This Loser Is You: She has shades of this, like most Isekai protagonists. She's an anime geek, a klutz at times which gets her into embarrassing situations (such as getting stuck in a hole in the wall), and she was flat-chested in her original life.
• Trapped in Another World: All of the Dolls are technically this, but Inori in particular is also a shout out to the Isekai genre, with her profile and her introduction saying verbatim that she was isekai'd to Crescent Continent's world.
  • She has many of the most common Isekai tropes such as being an ordinary high school student as far as she knows at first, who was transported to another world that now suddenly has super powers, a beautiful mature body, and her own romantic male lead (the Evoker, who, in Inori's Present storyline, often just follows along as a point-of-view character while Inori is the driver of the plot as if she's the main protagonist).
  • Most isekai stories feature a protagonist from the real world being sucked into a fantasy world. Inori's original world was a modern day setting very similar to the real world before some angels came to destroy it at least, presumably as a nod to this, and Inori will often make references to modern pop culture like "Horror movies" and "the flying spaghetti monster", further giving off an "ordinary person from the real world trapped in a fantasy world" vibe. Like many Isekais, much of her Present plotline centers on her coming to terms in this new life with her regrets from her prior life, most of which are down-to-earth things such as her reconciling with her mother, who neglected her to focus on her job as a police officer.

Ithil

Title: Sorcerous Claws

Height and weight: 161cm/53kg

Zodiac: Virgo

Birthday: August 30

Element/s: Fire/Shadow

Role/s: Attacker/Defender

Voiced by: Manaka Iwami

A reclusive wolf-eared girl who was the leading sorceress of her clan in life. She has a curse where she turns into a werewolf during nights of a full moon, which has become a great source of shame whenever others see this form.

---

• The Archmage: As she (timidly) boasted at her introduction, she was the top sorcerer of her people and is capable of numerous spells, even creating new ones to suit nearly any situation.
• Freakiness Shame: She is extremely conscious of being seen in her werewolf form, made more problematic when the transformation forces her clothes to burst apart and out in the open with nothing but fur on. It takes some bonding with the Evoker that she gets at least comfortable transforming around him.
• Involuntary Shapeshifter: Due to a curse, she cannot stop her transformation into a werewolf when she comes into contact with moonlight, and since Litoris is always covered by Shera's moon even when its light is diluted in daytime, Ithil has to cover herself up however she can by day and prefers being a shut-in at night.
• Playing with Fire: Her "Chief Sorceress" skillset is based around raining Fire-element squad-wide attacks on the enemy, her Scorched Curse trait increasing damage taken from Fire attacks, her Basic and Core Skills cutting enemy damage dealt, and her Special and Ultimate boosting the effectiveness of Fire attacks.
• Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: In the first time we see her transform into a werewolf, her clothes are explicitly described to have been ripped apart in the process. Luckily, she has a spell that mends them back together, but it still is a source of embarrassment for her.
• Shrinking Violet: Her personality as a whole is submissive, her werewolf curse being no small part of the problem. It takes some time before she gets used to living in Litoris without having to hide from others' eyes.
• Silk Hiding Steel: She is equal parts timid and polite, but she still grew up to become the most accomplished sorceress of her clan and doesn't hesitate to take responsibility when the wolf from her evoking starts causing problems.
• Wizarding School: She attended one located on a floating island, which also doubled as her new home ever since she lost her parents to hostile lizardmen and war continued to rage on the ground.

Juewa

Height and weight: 145cm/34kg

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Birthday: November 22

Element/s: Lightning/Frost

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Chika Anzai

An alien catgirl warrior tasked with the destruction of whole planets. She takes great pride in being the "superior" lifeform she sees herself as, but she does not let it get in the way of her kindness, no matter how much she passes it off as privileged selfishness.

---

• Cast from Hit Points: She and the rest of her race destroy planets by planting planet-spanning parasitizing trees on them. Cultivating these trees uses their own life force and each meorrior can only plant a few before expiring.
• Cat Girl: She's a humanoid with cat-like attributes from a distant planet full of such kinds of people, has cat-like mannerisms, calls herself a "meorrior", and sometimes adds "nyaa" at the end of her words. Her Lightning-based Ultimate even has a unique status effect named 9Lives that heals her whenever she takes damage.
• Codename: Her title, "C-28", acts as her military callsign.
• Curiosity Causes Conversion: Befitting of a cat, she is a Constantly Curious being. This trope gets enforced in her Past scenes: as a result of her crash landing on a planet where humans lived, she was practically forced to live among them, gradually learning how they and other "inferior beings" lived.
• Designer Babies: Those of her race are artificially created on her home planet to be the ultimate super soldiers, although the cat features were added just because they're cute.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: She died in the arms of the girl she was staying with after she was mortally wounded while destroying the planet-killing tree. Juewa manages to hold on just long enough to give the girl her black box with her memories in it.
• Freeze Ray: Her Frost skillset, made more prominent by her Ultimate Skill, Extinction Ray.
• Heroic Sacrifice: After My God, What Have I Done? below, Juewa confronts the planet-killed tree she created and attempts to deprogram and destroy it. The tree retaliates, and after a hard-fought battle, Juewa destroys the tree just as the tree runs her through with its tendrils.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She often talks of herself as the superior race, but still calls the other Dolls "true Meowriors", showing she respects them too. In one patrol, a passerby accidentally knocks a bunch of yarn out of her hands, prompting Juewa to angrily scream at her. It's later revealed that Juewa was taking it to an old man to craft that yarn into yarn balls for her. The Evoker notes that the fact that she gave an old man that sense of purpose when she could have gotten yarn balls anywhere else could only be described as "kindness".
• Planet of Hats: Forcefully enforced. Her race is artificially created to be Super Soldiers and then brainwashed (almost literally, with the propaganda inserted straight into their brain) to be completely loyal and have no qualms with sacrificing themselves to destroy planets so their own Mother Planet can leech off them. They're also all cat people because whoever is in charge of creating them finds that cute.
• Master Race: Believes her race is the greatest in the universe and even outside of it, and would often call other beings "inferior races". Doesn't mean she's a full-on racist though, as she experienced Curiosity Causes Conversion.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Some time after she landed, the tree she planted grew significantly, attracting the attention of some townfolk she was living with. Amongst the investigators was the father of a girl Juewa was staying with, who was killed and assimilated into the tree. When they heard the news, and as indicated by the Past chapter notes, this is where the meorrior felt guilty and started questioning her directives.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Comes from a planet where her race was brainwashed into fanatically destroying planets with an intense religious devotion for their own Mother Planet to leech off of. After she crash landed onto a certain planet, she ended up living with some humans who rescued her and grew to love them, making her gradually start questioning what was so good and moral about killing everyone. Eventually, she acted to save them and stop the destruction of their planet, even at the cost of her own life.. In the present day, she's still quite fanatical about the superiority of her race, but her often bringing up her respect for others where warranted and various other acts of kindness (as well as her lack of genociding anyone anymore, even if she'll sometimes threaten it to her enemies) shows how she really feels deep down.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She may be small and cute, but she is still an alien space warrior with a mission to destroy worlds in their known universe. This is showcased in her Attacker-oriented skillset which features an Ultimate that hits three times towards either the frontline or backline randomly.
• Shock and Awe: Her Lightning skillset, which has her become a Supporter with a skill to fire an AOE-boosting squad-wide attack, an SP boost for one squadmate, and a single-target buff that lets a Doll recover.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Fish. She'd quickly drop her guard at the sight of one, and her favorite food gifts are all made with fish. Even her oath ring is an incomplete silver band with a fish tail at one end.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: She may be as cute as a cat, but she is still an alien tasked with literally destroying worlds and civilizations, and even has an Ultimate skill called Extinction Ray to go along with it. This was intentional, as the creator of her race designed them to be planet-killing super soldiers but added the cat features solely because they're cute.
• Verbal Tic: Adds "-nyaa" at the end of her words sometimes, nyaa.

Lavira

"Don't you dare quit the daily training. Slacker!"

Height and weight: 170cm/57kg

Age: 20

Zodiac: Leo

Birthday: August 13

Element/s: Fire/Physical

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu

A cold and stoic military leader who can't get along with anyone except the automaton soldiers she leads. That said, it's not impossible to get to know her softer side, and she is not one to shun companionship.

---

• Commissar Cap: Comes with having a military background, and nicely accentuates her Drill Sergeant Nasty tendencies.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: Her first Present story pretty much has her lambasting the poor Evoker about the mansion's lack of security, his own lack of discipline and whatnot. What's more, she's not afraid of telling the Evoker to his face that he is inferior compared to her own automatons. She doesn't let up on this much even over the course of her bond stories, but she at least lets the Evoker knows this is her way of caring.
• The Engineer: Both of her Attacker skillsets involve her commanding automatons or steampunk-style flamethrowers.
• Frontline General: She held a fairly high rank in her past as a military officer fighting at the frontlines during war. Fittingly, both of her skillsets put her in the role of an Attacker.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the past, when her country was overrun by zombies, she stayed behind and set off a bomb to destroy them all while the rest of the army retreated.
• Steampunk: What Lavira and her automaton soldiers are themed after, as well as the kind of world she used to live in.
• Whip of Dominance: She's a cold and stern officer known for being a Drill Sergeant Nasty and holds a riding crop not only to denote her authority but also to use as a weapon in her basic Physical attack.
• Wrench Wench: She builds her own automatons and practically favors them to the point she prefers being around them over humans.

Role/s: Attacker

An elven girl who ended up living as a goblin for a time, she was a warrior who once fought alongside the elves and the goblins in their war against each other, ready to betray or be betrayed for the greater good.

---

• An Adventurer Is You:
  • Dance of Shura: Physical Attacker, single-target Blademaster DPS; this skillset is based around raising her critical hit damage in single strikes and just that, with her Special Skill, Shura, increasing her critical hit chance and damage for every turn that passes. As such, her Meteor Crash Ultimate works best at higher Shura stacks, buffed by Supporters, then unleashing it on a Vulnerable (and defense-debuffed) enemy.
  • Wrath of Raijin: Lightning Attacker, multi-hit Nuker; has skills that let her Spam Attack with bolts of lightning, adds a Special that boosts team Lightning damage, and her Ultimate Skill Spark Splash being a two-hit party-wide attack. It is also possible to combine this Ultimate with Colcher's "Echoes" buff, letting Lilyiro fire off four hits—the real benefit of this is to cause Electrocute damage by stacking four of Shock, which is not affected by the buff's decreased damage in repeating the Ultimate.
• And Then John Was a Zombie: Lilyiro was the elves' strongest warrior, and slaughtered countless numbers of their hated goblin foes, until one battle where she over-exerted herself and passed out. When she woke, she found she had become a goblin, herself, and realized the Awful Truth: all the goblins that the elves hated and slaughtered so much were actually just elves who had run out of mana.
• Barbarian Hero: She's scantily clad, barefoot, has unkempt hair reaching her knees, uses a huge sword, lived in a magical fantasy world where her people lived in a kingdom but were hunter-gatherers as well, and has a moral compass that points her against evil in any form. Conan and Red Sonja would be impressed by her.
• BFS: Wields a giant crescent-shaped crystal sword in battle, and is shown to be able to swing it around with one arm in her Lightning-based Ultimate skill cut-in.
• Character Catchphrase: "Boar poop!" or a boar-related curse.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: On the straightforward side of this, Lilyiro is a Stock Shōnen Hero, a beacon of reliability and derring-do in moments of trouble and daily life alike. In regards to her Dark and Troubled Past though, her sense of heroism becomes something more of a self-destructive obsession from having fought in war back when she lived.
• Even the Girls Want Her: Her Valentine-exclusive voice line has her remark that Valentine's Day was celebrated in her kingdom too, though she doesn't understand why she got a lot of gifts from girls.
• Forever War: Even before her time as an elf war leader, her father, and likely numerous past elves, have all fought against goblins and lost their lives for it in service to a ruler who always kept their figure hidden. The fact that elves turn into goblins after losing all their mana, and that the ruler who ordered the goblin exterminations turned out to be a monster, makes it clear that it was all a plot to keep the elves busy while it drained mana from the world.
• Frontline General: She used to be a lord that led her fellow elves into battles against goblins until the day she ran out of mana and turned into a goblin herself. When she acquired her lighting-enchanted sword and turned back into an elf, she then led goblins against elves to break the status quo of goblins being the oppressed.
• Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: In the past, she had to deal with one. When Lilyiro's goblin rebellion against the elves was about to succeed and Lilyro reached the heart of their palace, the true culprit behind draining all their mana, a giant tentacled crystalline monstrosity, revealed itself. This happens in the second-to-last chapter of Lilyro's storyline with the only foreshadowing being in an earlier part about their ruler always staying veiled—besides that, it was not revealed whatsoever that a living being was responsible for draining the world's mana in the first place, let alone what the hell it was or if anyone even knew it existed. The final chapter is an epilogue focused on the aftermath, and doesn't bother explaining what the heck that thing was nor where it came from.
• Girliness Upgrade: She's quite the tomboy until she starts to show signs of this as she gets closer to the Evoker, like getting flustered at a peddler seeing her and the Evoker as a couple. The full upgrade comes through upon Oathing her, where she'll start getting concerned over domestic matters and proudly, if bashfully declaring her love for the Evoker.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the past, she slayed the monster draining the world's mana, which allowed all the goblins to become elves again, but she died of her wounds shortly afterwards.
• Involuntary Shapeshifter: Her 4th Past story reveals that once Lilyiro runs out of mana, her elf form turns into that of a goblin. Later Past stories reveal that any elf that runs out of mana will end up the same, and any efforts to try to return to elven society while looking like a goblin will result in death.
• Magic Knight: She basically is one using a sword that generates lightning, minus the armor. In gameplay, one can style Lilyiro as this by making a customized skillset from her Physical and Lightning-based skills.
• Master Swordswoman: While not on the finesse side of things, she wielded a mundane sword in battle she enchanted with electricity when she lived and only got more effective when she found her signature crystal sword.
• Nubile Savage: Her clothing evokes this, which comes in hand with being a Classical Hunter.
• Playing Both Sides: Has fought for the goblins against the elves, and for the elves against the goblins, all throughout her life as she believes in her own sense of justice.
• Pointy Ears: A given as an elf. Still has them as a goblin too.
• Promoted to Parent: She has a younger sister she took care of back in her world. They had a caring father, but he died during a battle against goblins.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: She mentions having been in a war back in her world, which is the main crux of her obsessive need to do good. Back when she lived, she was an elf who led her people in battle and fought goblins without mercy. When she inadvertently turned into one by running out of mana, she discovers that all elves turn into goblins as well, leading to her Heel–Face Turn where she sides with the goblins to stop the elves from senselessly exterminating the goblins. Still, the fact that she was killing her own people regardless of their forms troubled her greatly, made poignant with one Past story where she collapsed a bridge an elven cavalcade was using, tried to help an elf soldier hanging onto a cliff, only to be forced to let him fall when he tried to hurt her. The next part after makes it clear she did not take it well.
• Stepford Smiler: Often has a peppy attitude no matter the situation, but her stories show that she is clearly more troubled by her past than she lets on.
• Starter Mon: She joins a bit later, but she acts as a starting Attacker alongside Asuna.
• Stripperific: Wears nothing more than a crop top and a really short Showgirl Skirt that shows a bit of her panties. Things manage to get more Hotter and Sexier in her Gilded Glamour outfit, which is a Bedlah Babe outfit that's more of a sheer white bikini finished off with thigh-highs in practice.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak:
  • Though her masculine, heroic side of her is shown at first in her Present and Date stories, she comes to have feelings for the Evoker when she reveals her insecurities to him. This gets more blatant when she is given an Oath Ring, where she acts like a housewife patiently waiting for the Evoker to come home from work and scolds you when she's given an expensive purple-rarity gift out of concern for the expenses.
  • Her intro line in the Invitation to Love event's in-game page has her lampshade it:
    Lilyiro: Don't look at me like this. I'm also a girl... so it's not surprising to prepare these (roses), right?

A 'Kami-sama' (goddess) who longs for friendships with humans after years of being by her lonesome in her temple.

---

• Born as an Adult: She just fell from the sky onto the mountain one day, already fully mature. The flavor text in first chapter of her Past, "Awakening", states that she struggled to walk on her "new-gained feet", indicating she had just been born. Presumably all kami in her world (and it's quickly shown there's more than one) are born that way.
• Gods Need Prayer Badly: To some extent. Flavor text for her second chapter of her past states she needs to take offerings to "survive in this world". That said, after she lost all her powers in the past, she seemed to be living a normal human-like life just fine, so perhaps the flavor text was just being metaphorical about surviving as a goddess, not as a normal human. Literal prayers did however return her powers back to her later on, though. Ironically, instead of surviving due to the prayers, she died instead by using that power to pull off a Heroic Sacrifice.
• Heal It With Fire: As a Fire Supporter, one of her skills even named "Purifying Flame", Mako is best suited to upping the damage on other Fire Attackers and cleansing debuffs, with an Ultimate she can bestow that works as an Auto-Revive.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Her final act in her past. Her rival had gone insane from taking in too much misfortune. With the faith of the people she was defending, Mako used all her power to banish her.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: Unlike most cases of this, Mako would be more than happy to be both a goddess AND have a happy normal life, but despite her heavy-handed attempts to revive her religion, it's actually friendship she desires the most. This is outright stated in her profile, and after reaching an Oath relationship level with the Evoker, she tells him that being with him is more important than being a goddess. In the past, after she lost her powers, she actually got over her despair and was happy with her new life as a normal after she made a friend and got back on her feet. Her most miserable moments in the past weren't when she lost all her powers, but when she lost all her worshippers and thus had no more friends.
• Immortal Immaturity: For someone who's centuries old, her personality is barely any different from a child acting precocious, not helped by her equally immature body, her Snake Oil Salesman strategies of creating a religion and her vehement love of sweets.
• Lady Luck: To be exact, Mako's powers are based on taking away and giving out bad luck as her stories show and is reflected in her skillsets. This is actually a concern for Mako since she sees herself as The Jinx who could plague other innocents with bad luck like in one Present story, regardless of whether she is the cause.
• The Phoenix: What her Supporter Ultimate "Fiery Rebirth" is based on, which grants the "Nirvana" buff on a Doll and causes them to regain HP the moment it is reduced to zero.
• Physical Religion: What she aims for in her new life in Litoris, trying to build a shrine and attracting worshippers through a variety of campaigns and/or misadventures not unlike how Yuki would do it. Of course, given that Litoris as a whole worships Shera—and only Shera—they see her claim to being a goddess as a Blasphemous Boast that has also gotten her in trouble with the City Guards. Although, she was a genuine and successful kami in her prior life before she became a Doll, uniting the youkai in the area, having a shrine regularly attended by a large congregation of worshippers, and receiving offerings while giving blessings and absorbing away bad luck in kind. At least until her rival kami sabotaged her with malicious slander, bringing about the end of her cult and later stealing her curse-absorbing box, leaving Mako nigh powerless.
• Sailor Fuku: Her choice of clothing to emphasize on her background allusions to Japanese kami in real life.
• Snake Oil Salesman: She comes across as this, offering impossible goods like wishes and good fortune in exchange for "offerings", including money. The twist is that as a kami, she's selling a genuine product. Unfortunately, what she offers is either so outlandish that no one takes her seriously or the thought of worshipping anyone besides Shera is so unfathomable that people misinterpret her claims of being a kami as just boasting.
• Stone Wall: Her Shadow Defender skillset lets her unleash misfortune on her enemies with the "Calamity" debuff reducing their damage, on top of a self-defense Ultimate. These things combined pretty much ensures she won't go down on her own easily.
• Sweet Tooth: A majority of the foods she likes are sweet like Honey Milk and Fruit Cake, and a Patrol has her taste testing a restaurant's new sweets like a critic. One of her Traits is even named "Dango Tributes".
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: After Mako lost almost all her worshippers due to her rival's sabotage, one little girl continued to visit Mako's shrine and give offerings throughout her entire life even to her final days. Mako, being immortal, outlived her, and was apparently so saddened after her passing that she didn't leave her empty shrine for centuries. She did eventually decide to give life another chance and left to see what society was up to, although unfortunately, things only got worse from there. Although to be more specific, it's "Who Wants To Live Forever Alone?" Her profile states she desires to integrate into human society because "the days of living in her temple have been too long."

Miko Etsukazu

Title: Flame Empress

Height and weight: 161cm/46kg

Zodiac: Capricornus

Birthday: December 31

Element/s: Fire/Shadow

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Yume Miyamoto

A rough-mannered delinquent who has a violent disposition, but nevertheless maintains loyalty to her comrades and can be sweet on those she spends time with. She owns a device called "Rebel Heart", which transforms into nano armor upon activation and augments her signature bokken with fire.

---

• Catchphrase: "You bastard!" in true delinquent style. She even gets into a literal shouting match using this—and wins it—in one patrol.
• Laser Blade: One of her animations show her holding the bokken with the white grip being a blade-less hilt before generating a blade of pure light. Her shinai are Hard Light Morph Weapons, with the default wooden look acting as a blunted setting for the sword, and explains why it can cut fatally in battle or be a Flaming Sword without burning down.
• Japanese Delinquents: Her character is based off this trope: she speaks and acts roughly, wears a Sailor Fuku and a Coat Cape with Japanese letters on the back, wields two shinai, used to be in a gang in life, led the protagonist gang Shushin-kai in the Wonderland event which as a whole also references Japanese Delinquents, and still represents the Shushin-kai in Litoris while planning to dominate the city.
• Master Swordswoman: Not only does she use bokken (that are actually Laser Blades), she easily dispatches a gangster in her Lv. 5 Present story as her non-Graveland-powered self and the wooden version of the shinai.
• Powered Armor: The little red-crusted yellow orb hanging to her belt on a chain is an advanced device called Rebel Heart. It allows her to wear flame-red nano armor in an instant, changing her clothes to an armored leotard of sorts, armored boots, a pair of massive thruster-propelled wings floating behind her back, and augments her bokken to be on fire.
• Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: Played With. She carries around two shinai that she took down an armored guard and a gangster with in no time flat. It's just that one sprite animation shows they're actually made of Hard Light that provides an illusion of an ordinary wooden shinai, but they still evoke the trope in spirit.

Minerdwen

"Mortal, yawn… Come closer. I wonder how your blood tastes."

Title: Scarlet Timekeeper

Height and weight: 168cm (5'6")/56kg (123lbs)

Age: ??? (20 physically)

Zodiac: Scorpio

Birthday: November 8

Element/s: Shadow/Physical

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Yukana (credited as "Yukana Nogami")

A lethargic, ancient vampire who's been observing humanity since time immemorial. While her long life has made her cynical, she continues to care for everything she keeps a vigil over.

---

• The Alcoholic: Is quite fond of wine.
• The Cynic: She lived long enough to see the worst of humanity and notes that such qualities haven't changed even in the new world she is evoked to.
• Can't Hold Her Liquor: On one patrol, she's so drunk that she can't tell the difference between a bat and a human. One of her chibi's animations while on a task is to be passed out drunk with her wine glass on the floor.
• Complete Immortality: Her first Present has her remark that she well and truly died for her to be evoked, thus indicating that this has limits. Even then, she casually lists that mundane weapons such as swords, fire, explosives, and poison do not work on her. Gameplay-wise, this manifests as a passive ability to survive a fatal hit once per battle.
  Touch - Head - Neutral line: "I still can think, even if my brain was smashed."
• "Everybody Dies" Ending: For the final chapter of Minerdwen's Past, a random meteor falls from the sky and kills everyone on the planet, destroying the world. The flavor text comments that it was almost as if the world was taking revenge on humanity for being bastards, making this possibly a divine retribution case of Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.
• Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Minerdwen's more than happy to pretend to be evil, but she's actually quite benevolent. She helps and worries about the Evoker several times, and also in an early Present chapter goes incognito with an invisibility spell to do good deeds to random strangers, with the Evoker commenting that she seemed like a guardian watching over humanity. In her past, despite having a bored facial expression throughout it all, she raised an adopted daughter who cared about civilization and humanity just like Minerdwen did. Unfortunately, she wasn't a super-durable immortal vampire like her mother was.
• Knight in Sour Armour: In her first meeting with the Evoker, after seeing his sense of justice and courage, Minerdwen tells him that she'd love to encourage him, but it would all be futile in the end. She's already seen humanity bring about its own destruction due to greed and obsession in her original world and believes it'll happen again with her new one, but decides to fulfill her duties as a Doll to protect it and give it a chance anyways.
• Nun Too Holy: Her Lily at Daybreak skin is a nun outfit. Wearing it and setting Minerdwen as your secretary will get you some very unholy solicitations. Interestingly, Virgina, who's an actual nun, got a vampire skin at the same time.
• Our Vampires Are Different: A mostly classic depiction; she drinks blood (although she has standards for its quality), controls bats, sports Undeathly Pallor and Pointy Ears, Red and Black and Evil All Over (without much of the evil), has a body temperature far lower than the average human's, is immortal in nearly all senses of the word, has great command over magic, and the mirror behind herself in her Essence artwork shows she has a Missing Reflection (interestingly, it only omits her body, leaving behind floating clothes in the reflection).
• Power Floats: She is lazy enough to do this in-story and is what her sprite's movement animation does.
• Really Fond of Sleeping: Besides writing books and drinking wine, she whiles away her boredom by sleeping a lot to the point she loses her sense of time.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: Subverted. Sure, she dresses in red and black but often plays up the evil part more as a way to kill time.
• Stripperific: Hood and accesories aside, all she basically wears are Black Bra and Panties. It makes sense since Minerdwen is as lazy as she is Really Fond of Sleeping, so she'd choose some kind of nightwear easy to wear and sleep in. She also has little need for clothes in general because she's immune to cold and scratches.
  • This becomes a plot point during her third Date: a priest bars her from coming into the church because of this until Minerdwen points out that the nearby statue of Shera is no less scantily clad. The priest suffers a minor Crisis of Faith and ends up letting her in.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: She's an immortal vampire who in her life prior to becoming a Doll saw the end of the civilized world when humanity nuked itself to near oblivion. At one point, she wandered the ruins of the world for years with no other living being to keep her company besides a dog which eventually died of old age. The flavor text states she was the only one left to bury the corpses of her friends. She did eventually find some surviving humans, though. Unfortunately, they were real bastards.
  • She did eventually die when the world ended AGAIN thanks to a meteor, and this time Minerdwen didn't survive it, which is why she could become a Doll. In her introduction with the Evoker, she refers to her previous death as "finally falling asleep", implying she was glad to finally die back then.

Mist

Title: Wandering Knight

Height and weight: 160cm/45kg

Zodiac: Capricornus

Birthday: January 16

Element/s: Physical/Lightning

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Kiyono Yasuno

A self-proclaimed knight who is also a singer. She wandered in a world where living concepts like her were doomed to fade away, but she still fought to live.

---

• Big Sister Worship: While she isn’t one to listen to Ai.501, who she sees as her big sister, she cares for her very much as the one who took care of her when she first came to the Projection World. Even when she decides to strike her down, she tells the Squad not to interfere as she wants to be the one to do it.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The strength of concepts in the Projection World are determined by the strength—or more accurately popularity—of their respective concepts in the 'real world' (another world different from the Crescent Continent), and concepts who do not have enough strength are targeted for disposal by the Cleaners, monsters that cull concepts before they overflow the Projection World. It is why Miss Litoris and Ai.501 had a hard time surviving before meeting the Task Squad. To confront the Cleaner-powered Fusion.Ai, the Squad sends out an existing music video of Miss Litoris into the real world, strengthening the renamed Mist for the confrontation with her sister.
• Code of Honour: Her Six Knightly Maxims are as follows: "One, pursue the enemy"; "Two, maintain your cool in battle"; "Three, strike with initiative"; "Four, lead from the frontlines"; "Five, never leave anyone behind"; and "Six, a full belly leads to a fulfilled heart."
• A Day in the Limelight: She debuts in the event Playtime's Over as a stranger the Task Squad meets in the world.
• Expy: While the parallels aren't all there, she's a happy-go-lucky knight who has a rather active imagination to change what happens in reality to suit the narrative in her own head, especially when losing to a scarecrow in training that she really thinks must be very powerful. It’s no windmill, but she certainly has Don Quixote's spirit.
• Given Name Reveal: She had no memory, or rather, information of her name when she came into being, and was dubbed "Miss Litoris" by the Task Squad in her event. Later chapters in the event reveals she had a fading presence in the real world, culminating in the climactic reveal of her true name, “Mist”, during her fight against Fusion.Ai, when they upload her music video to an online platform and empower her strength.
• Idiot Hero: She’s got heart, but she’s… not the brightest spear in the shed, to say the least.
  • When she is first met in the second chapter of her event, she nearly spears the Evoker by accident in the middle of saving him, then does it again in the next chapter. In the same next chapter, by the time they get to her house, she realizes that she made Ai.501 mad... as if the sign posted earlier by Ai hasn't made it obvious.
  • A line has her say that she lost to a scarecrow (likely the same one from the Trials, which doesn't even do anything but stand there and take hits). She deems it a formidable opponent.
  • Her "Knight Tour" in her Present storyline is not much more than going to whatever place in Litoris comes to mind despite making it sound more epic than it actually is, especially when Mist and the Evoker had to go back to their house because the former forgot to bring a map.
  • In her second Date, she and the Evoker get trapped in a cave without food. Mist tries to solve the problem by plowing a vegetable farm with her spear—from ground that is purely rock, and expecting seeds to just grow out of nowhere like data in her own world did. When the Evoker points this out, she says they can wait for beasts to conveniently drop into the cave for them to hunt... and one somehow does, although it's a talking fox they ultimately do not kill when Dallian finds them.
• Interface Spoiler: "Miss Litoris" already has her name revealed in her featured banner. The real mystery about her is how she got named "Mist", which is shown over the course of Playtime’s Over's story.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: In Playtime's Over, she says she does not remember her past other than her jobs when the Task Squad first meets her. They call her "Miss Litoris" for the time being due to her striking resemblance to their drawing submission for the titular contest (inspired by a dream the Evoker had). Chapter 3, "Prisoner’s Dilemma", subverts this with The Reveal that she’s actually a Tulpa; she wouldn’t have any memories other than the personality she was made with in mind if she was just an idea.
• Meaningful Name: As the last chapter of Playtime's Over puts it:
  Although mist can make people feel lost and confused, as it will not dissipate for a long time, it can also bring people hope. We don't know what's behind the mist, but we can remain optimistic and alive.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: She is a sentient concept of a heroic female knight that is also a singer. Oh, and add being a Doll to that after being evoked from a different world.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Bread. Any kind of bread.
• Tulpa: While she looks human as most other Dolls do, she is in reality a fictional concept existing in another world, which the Task Squad accidentally bound to their world as their concept of "Miss Litoris" ala Re:CREATORS. The Projection World itself in Playtime’s Over is itself a ‘birthplace’ for living concepts like her, essentially being a storage warehouse for the other world’s concepts.

Miyo Tsukino

Title: Ultimate Solution

Height and weight: 172cm/56kg

Zodiac: Virgo

Element/s: Ice/Physical

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Yumi Hara

Your average office lady—which itself is a concept new to Litoris—that lives by working for others. She has a professional but amicable demeanor, although she keeps another darker side of herself few know about.

---

• Buxom Beauty Standard: Her curvaceous figure is comparable to Satya, Nicolette, and Deanna, special attention going to her bust that the Evoker can't help as seen in her bond stories.
• Cleavage Window: Her dress shirt sports a prominent view of her large cleavage. The Evoker's eyes aren't immune to peeking at it.
• Friend to All Children: She grew up in an orphanage caring for fellow orphans younger than her. She also plays with some kids in an orphanage as seen in a patrol story.
• Gun Nut: Like fellow gunslinger Asuna, she has a hobby of collecting guns. In particular is an antique flintlock pistol she got in a Present story which she actually planned to use on an infamous noble before disposing of it. After the incident was resolved without bloodshed thanks to the Evoker, it proudly hangs on a frame in her room.
• I Did What I Had to Do: All the assassinations she performs are ultimately for the sake of a good society where innocents don't get hurt by some rich bastards. It helps that all her marks were always said bastards.
• In-Joke: When the Evoker and Miyo are dealing with a client's part-time jobs in her Present story, the client wonders aloud why the lower-grade jobs are never taken, while the Evoker gets uncomfortable hearing this. In-game, the higher the stars, the better the job's payout; taking lower stars gives you no benefit unless you have to settle for them with no resets left. Just ignore the fact that you're leaving the clients of said jobs out to dry...
• Paper-Thin Disguise: The very fact that you can see she fights with guns and gadgets despite claiming to be an average office lady is enough to see she's hiding something about her past. When the Evoker questions her about this, she explains she merely learnt it as self-defense. This is all part and parcel of being a hitman.
• Secret Identity: She hid it pretty well at first for her storylines (unless you go directly to her Past), passing herself off as a mundane office worker from an equally mundane modern world. It's only when she starts investigating a corrupt nobleman being unchecked by the City Guards that she takes matters into her own hands, revealing her true job: an assassin that fights crime where the law can't reach.
• Sexy Secretary: She's your seemingly average office lady who's got one prominent bust to rival Nicolette and Deanna. In some of her Present and Date story scenes, she's very helpful as an assistant to the paperwork-overloaded Evoker, who found his eyes wandering over to her exposed chest a few times.

Birthday: April 19

Element/s: Physical/Fire

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Yumiri Hanamori

The inhumanly strong 7th-generation practitioner of her family's ancestral Nankung martial arts. She is a very disciplined person, but this sets her at odds with her love of anything cute and girly.

---

• An Adventurer Is You:
  • Nankung Blood: Physical Attacker, single-target multi-hit Scrapper DPS; this skillset focuses on performing Spam Attacks, encouraged by her passive trait dealing damage every three hits. The Core deals two hits and defense down, the Special a single-hit that removes a buff, and a two-hit Ultimate, Tempest of Punches, which increases the effectiveness of critical Physical attacks on the target.
  • Fist of Flame: Fire Attacker, single-target Blademaster DPS; her attacks wreathed in flame is mostly meant for single targets as well as softening them up for other Fire attacks. Her Pyrokinesis trait empowers the next attack after dealing two Fire attacks, her Core reduces enemy's healing taken, her Special hitting the front row with DEF down, and the Ultimate, Draconic Chi Blast, a massive single attack that also increases damage taken from Fire attacks and afflicts Nankung Fire^note Increases Damage Taken from Ultimates by 2% per stack of Burn.
• Anime Chinese Girl: Chinese-sounding name, wears a Qipao, knows martial arts, linked with dragon iconography...
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Has fists hard enough to break a boulder without a sweat, having been trained since childhood by her father to control her strength.
• Bodyguard Crush: Acts like a very professional guard to the Evoker, but raise her bond levels enough and she ends up qualifying for this trope.
• Cuteness Proximity: Actually likes cute and girly things, from Coco the little tot to cuddly and furry cats to magical girls. She tries not to let this show as a professional though.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Her unnatural strength was high back as a child, resulting in her breaking some things on accident and, more seriously, hugging a cat she played with to death, something she beat herself up over. The incident made her father train her hard until she could control her strength, but her fear of this still comes up occasionally.
• Fanservice Pack: Her Thalassic Fist summer skin is composed of a partly-clothed bikini that shows off all her curves. It's a reminder that however much a tomboy she acts, she's very much a woman to anyone's eye.
• Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of her Past, she dies taking on the Quad Group, powering through her injuries to secure incriminating evidence of their crimes before she closed her eyes for the last time. This leads to the police dismantling the Quad Group, her fellow surviving disciples reopening the dojo after it was attacked, and her reporter friend and a cat paying respects at her grave.
• Lady in a Power Suit: Her Essence artwork depicts her in a dress shirt and tie, black pants, a jacket over her shoulders, taking shades off in one hand and holding a suitcase in the other. This suited woman means business!
• Not So Above It All: She is usually professional and mature, but when she gets to partake in more childish stuff, she would sometimes break rules and such since she's never got to play such games in her childhood to understand how they should be played.
• Raised by Dudes: As far as her Past story shows, she grew up without her mother, surrounded by her father and the men of the dojo she lived in, which likely contributed to her tomboy personality.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red, being significantly more impulsive, to the Evoker's Blue, as the calmer one whenever they act together.
• Show Some Leg: Her dress has a high slit on her right side that goes up to her waist, showing off her long legs.
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy: How she and the Evoker usually acts, being the muscle to his brains.
• Super-Strength: In her 1st Present story, she demonstrates her strength by obliterating a boulder with a single punch, despite the Evoker noting that Dolls lose a significant level of their powers outside of Graveland. In her Past story, it's shown that she has always been this way ever since she was a child, and it has even resulted in the death of a stray cat she was so fond of after hugging it too strongly.
• Supernatural Martial Arts: Can somehow cast fire from her hands not unlike a Firebender. The blurb for her Fist of Flame skillset says she "easily surpassed martial limits", with her skill names indicating she uses chi.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Mostly acts in a more masculine manner, but as shown in a lot of her Bond-related scenes, she can act more femininely when she doesn't have to repress it. When she was a child, she had a magical girl poster in her room.

Netsuki Yumesaki

Age: 17

Zodiac: Cancer

Birthday: July 13

Element/s: Shadow/Fire

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Aoi Yūki

A renowned idol who is actually shy and introverted, with her on-stage prowess coming from a mysterious being living inside her.

---

• Asian Fox Spirit: Kitsune, an outgoing Foxy Vixen spirit that shares Netsuki's body, denoted by her red eyes, red dress, and fox tail after switching with the latter in a puff of smoke. She quickly falls for the Evoker when he scratches her ears and since then addresses him as "Darling", flirting whenever she can with him.
• The Bard: Her Shadow Supporter skillset has her singing squad-wide heals and charming enemies (30% chance to work at base level), and an Ultimate that charges everyone's SP and Shadow-based attack power.
• Duality Motif: Her eyes are different colors from each other, a visual sign of her Sharing a Body. Her sprites clearly indicates who is in control through color motifs, with Netsuki being blue and Kitsune red. It's even lampshaded in her title "Azure Red".
• Idol Singer: She grew up admiring idols and even became a successful one, although ironically her Performance Anxiety in front of a crowd tends to let her delegate Kitsune to act for her. She eventually manages to grow out of this after some prodding from Kitsune.
• Playing with Fire: Her Attacker set has Kitsune coming out to the forefront, based around Spam Attack and performing better the more stacks of Burn there are on her enemies.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kitsune the aggressive one and Netsuki the very shy one respectively, down to the colors of their clothing even!
• Sdrawkcab Name: A slightly odd example - reversing Netsuki's name based on its Japanese syllables (Ne-Tsu-Ki) will give you her body-sharing spirit Kitsune.
• Sharing a Body: The normally shy Netsuki shares her body with the more flirty Kitsune, which leads to a lot of Flip Personality moments.
• Shrinking Violet: Big time for Netsuki. It's to the point that she barely shows up in Present stories that happen after the first while Kitsune fills in for her, and only until the level 18 story does she open up to everyone on the squad.
• Tulpa: In Past Chapter XV, it's explained that Kitsune is actually the personification of Netsuki's wish to be an idol as a child, born from an ema she made and set down a river. With the young idol's dream granted, Kitsune had to disappear after.
• Workaholic: Quite a few of her lines are about practicing and doing idol performances, to the point of collapsing when practicing late in her midnight friend-level greeting, and mentioning being unwell in another line. Her Past gives this a lot more meaning because she suffered from an unnamed disease right at the start of her career that makes her cough constantly and weaken her body, though she managed to bear it for the sake of her fans, ignoring her doctor's and manager's advice to rest for her penultimate show. There, she sang, reminiscing her past with Kitsune until she let out the last note and dropped to the floor, passing away.

Element/s: Physical/Fire

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō

A mad alchemist obsessed with the concept of life and death in her search for humanity's next evolution.

---

• Alchemy Is Magic:
  • Downplayed; the effects her skills have in gameplay are pretty fantastical for a profession somewhat grounded in reality, from causing a controlled bleeding plague as an Attacker to making very dangerous fireworks as a Supporter, but otherwise is not overtly magical compared to the other magic-wielding Dolls or Sorcerors and Witches of the game's setting.
  • This actually becomes a cause of concern in her Stage 5 Present story when the City Guards investigate Nicolette's experiments because of the citizens' fears of her practicing black magic, until the Evoker convinces them of her innocence by showing the experiments were medical in nature and the live animal experiments were stray dogs she was taking care of.
• Blue Blood: She was a noble in her past, something she took advantage of to fund her experiments. Of course, those experiments turned her into the Black Sheep of not just her family but of her fellow aristocratic peers.
• Cleavage Window: Her coat and dress expose her generous, bouncing bust, quite possibly the largest of the Dolls and rivalling Deanna.
• Expy: Of Nicolas Flamel, as a genderbent woman.
• Foil: She's portrayed as relatively evil even compared to Satya the demon princess. Satya's mischief is portrayed as playful and Played for Laughs, and she might bully and tease her cute companion that she rescued, but they still genuinely care about each other. Meanwhile, Nicolette's Disproportionate Retribution that causes others to flee from her at first sight is played seriously, and when she comes across a bunch of cute animals, she kills them and uses them for experiments. Also, Satya does sincerely love her father and Slime in a way, while Nicolette says in a special chat line that she finds the concept of friends and family to be pointless (she does also comment that the Evoker is special to her, though).
• Friend to All Children: Oddly enough. One patrol reveals a part-time job of her's is teaching children to bake cakes, albeit with a supervillain theme of doing it to conquer the world, which the children really like. Another patrol has her comforting a child over her deceased dog by transmogrifying the corpse into a flower so it could be with the child a bit longer. One of the five-star tasks the player can receive from the task board is to take care of orphaned children, and Nicolette is the recommended Doll for it.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: While anyone would be justified in being wary of her Mad Scientist tendencies, some of her experiments have a selfless nature to it, such as her caring for the dogs thought to be her live experiments in her Stage 5 Present story, and in Stage 18, she gives away "Painkilling Potions" to the poor of Dumpshire (albeit after human trials), even going so far as to investigate the abnormalities caused by a tobacco dealer selling expired goods.
  Nicolette: Replacing painkillers with controlled substances is against the work ethic of medical workers. Besides, the patients are suffering from their stupid, profit-driven mistake. [...] Both the monopoly and the misuse of controlled substances should be terminated. And I will usher in a grand revolution.
• High-Class Glass: Wears one on her right eye as a sign of her noblewoman background.
• Hot Teacher: She has the typical Hot Librarian look that many hot teachers have, with her glasses and tied-back hair, albeit unkempt. A patrol reveals that she tutors noble kids on the side to get money for her research, educating them in wholesome subjects such as how to conquer the world by baking delicious cakes.
• Mad Scientist: Of the Chemist variety. And the tropes she fulfills besides For Science!?
  • She commandeers the mansion's cellar as her laboratory, and is also where the Evoker found her experiment records to prove her innocence with in her Stage 5 Present.
  • She's not downright evil per se, but the shady way she goes about her experiments in biology tends to leave one questioning her sense of morals. Furthering humanity's evolution is one of the aims of her research, and she believes humanity evolves through hardship, commenting that Dreizhen's body became perfect due to all the damage she suffered, or that humanity must have paid a price in order to learn sorcery in one of her chat lines.
  • As she explains in her intro Present, she seeks a way to uplift humanity into something greater through Super Serums.
  • She wears a Labcoat of Science and Medicine stained with her potions.
  • Her focus on her experiments is such that she barely, if ever takes care of her Messy Hair, even as a child.
  • Her Past as a child has her testing her drugs on Unwitting Test Subjects like animals and hapless humans, sometimes out of Disproportionate Retribution for crossing her.
• Plaguemaster: Her Physical Attacker skill set focuses on stacking Bleed debuffs even faster than most Bleed-focused Dolls could, which is very useful when going against high-HP bosses.
• Playing with Fire: Or Heal It With Fire depending on your perspective with her being a Mad Scientist and all, as a Fire Supporter.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: She's too engrossed in her work to care about her looks, as shown by her unkempt messy hair. But when she bothered to dress up for the sake of fitting into society (so society would stop bothering her), her family's servants were stunned by her beauty. Her essence artwork appears to be from this incident, and she's gorgeous.
• Skewed Priorities: In the past, she supported a revolutionary leader's rise to power, and he repaid her by locking her up because he thought she was a threat to her. How does Nicolette feel about this cruel betrayal? Mostly just annoyed that she can no longer go out shopping for research ingredients.
• Token Evil Teammate: Relatively speaking. The other dolls range from heroic to at least genuinely good-at-heart. Meanwhile, Nicolette's official profile says she has no morals. She's poisoned people in the past just for heckling her (albeit nonlethally), would catch animals that others found adorable so she could use them in her actually-lethal experiments, and even in the present nonchalantly tries to get her hands on humans to experiment on. Although, she isn't purposefully malicious so much as just doesn't even consider ethics while pursing her experiments For Science! She'll stay within the bounds of the law, but only because things would get troublesome otherwise.
• Visionary Villain: As lacking in ethics as she is, she's sincerely researching science not just for her own amusement, but for the sake of furthering humanity's knowledge, technology, and evolution. She even states at one point that a big reason she obeys the law is because authorities might destroy her research data if she was caught doing illegal experiments, which would be an egregious loss to mankind.

Zodiac: Virgo

Elements: Fire/Frost

Role: Attacker

Voiced by: Matsuda Satsumi

• The Chains of Commanding: When she acted as the leader of the Skyborne Sect, she had to maintain a veneer of dignity and strictness to emulate her master and set an example to her disciples. In private, she murmured complaints about her situation, though she ultimately led her people well.
• A Day in the Limelight: She and her sister Qing Hao debut in the event, Immortal Ascension Tales.
• Palette Swap: She looks almost exactly like her sister except with the blue and red colors switched, as well as some aspects (such as the hair accessories, sword, and skirt tails) mirrored. The only real difference is that the flower patterns on her outfit are plum flowers instead of crystal flowers, which goes with her Red Baron moniker.
• Perpetual Frowner: Contrasting her sister who's a Perpetual Smiler (most of the time), Qing Dai's initially always frowning in cutscenes in her debut event story, although she does begin to smile every once in a while later on, starting with laughing at one of her sister's jokes at the start of the 2nd chapter. This was something her sister and the Evoker were quick to notice. After being evoked as a Doll later on, she'll eventually greet the Evoker with a smile in the bond interface and when set as a secretary, but her chibi sprite is still always frowning.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Qing Dai is graceful, elegant, and constantly frowning and grumpy. Qing Hao is energetic, rash, and constantly smiling and cheerful. Their live-2D models are also mostly reverse-mirrored Palette Swaps of each other, and Qing Dai's profile art is facing the front and left while Qing Hao's profile art is facing the back and right.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the Blue Oni to Qing Hao's red, being more calm, graceful, and composed compared to her sister. Ironically, she's the one that wears red and has red hair (albeit with blue highlights).
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She really doesn't get along with her sister, Qing Hao. But they're forced to work with each other in their event debut, and the player will probably be making the two work together outside of it too considering how their skill sets synergize and complement each other so well.

Qing Hao

Title: Crystal Plume

Zodiac: Virgo

Elements: Fire/Frost

Role: Attacker

Voiced by: Matsuda Risae

• Affectionate Nickname: She calls the Evoker "Senior Brother" (senpai in JP dubbing), while addressing herself in third-person as his "Junior Sister". In her first Present episode, she had thought about addressing him as "Master", but she knew Qing Dai would use that title and would rather not use a nickname her annoying sister uses.
• A Day in the Limelight: She and her sister Qing Dai debut in the event, Immortal Ascension Tales.
• The Gadfly: She is a free-spirited girl who prefers to do things she is interested in and isn't afraid to speak her mind. In just her first Present episode, she is found by the Evoker sleeping alongside him acting close and personal.
• Palette Swap: She looks almost exactly like her sister except with the blue and red colors switched, as well as some aspects (such as the hair accessories, sword, and skirt tails) mirrored. The only real difference is that the flower patterns on her outfit are crystal flowers instead of plum flowers, which goes with her Red Baron moniker.
• Perpetual Smiler: Contrasting her sister who's a Perpetual Frowner (most of the time), Qing Hao smiles a lot and is constantly cheerful about most things.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Qing Hao is energetic, rash, and constantly smiling and cheerful. Qing Dai is graceful, elegant, and constantly frowning and grumpy. Their live-2D models are also mostly reverse-mirrored Palette Swaps of each other, and Qing Hao's profile art is facing the back and right while Qing Dai's profile art is facing the front and left.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the Red Oni to Qing Dai's blue, being more lively, energetic, and quicker to rush into things compared to her sister. Ironically she's the one that wears blue and has blue hair (albeit with red highlights).
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She really doesn't get along with her sister, Qing Dai, but they're forced to work with each other in their event debut. The player will probably be making the two work together outside of it too considering how their skill sets synergize and complement each other so well.
• Troll: She often mischievously makes all sorts of snide or sarcastic remarks to rile up her sister, and eagerly plays pranks on the Evoker as well. For example, in one patrol she out-cons a conman specifically so she can take his fake lottery box to prank the evoker with.

Qu Ling

Zodiac: Gemini

Element/s: Frost/Lightning

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Haruka Shiraishi

An immortal being who sprung from a lotus seed, living for millennia as she watched and guarded humanity. Though benevolent in personality, she maintains distance between herself and mortals due to the difference in power and responsibility between themselves.

---

• Anime Chinese Girl: The second one to date besides Lin, likewise wearing a Qipao (if a Stripperific one) and a clearly Chinese name.
• Early-Bird Cameo: She is featured as one of the hidden messages (which you correctly answer with "None") in the event Dream Quest v1.0, hinted at by the description of brushstroke text, a flowery greeting typical of Chinese speech and addressing herself as a person you have yet to meet.
• A God I Am Not: Played with; she asserts she's not a god in her Lv. 5 Present story but a "lotus fairy", although considering how she herself has powers rivalling one, dealt with actual gods in her world and on Continent Crescent, and distinguishes between immortals (like herself and said gods) and mortals, an outside perspective may hardly see the difference.
• Ice Magic Is Water: She's the first Frost-elemental Doll to have water being an important part of her background as a lotus fairy, though she uses Frost Skills in gameplay.
• Magical Floating Shawl: Has one floating around her, in keeping with her self-description as a fairy.
• Mayfly–December Friendship: When she was young and her powers weren't fully developed yet, she was taken in by a kind loving village. Eventually, the village was hit by a drought and all her friends in the village were at risk of starving to death. Seeing this, Qu Ling departed for a remote mountain to train her powers until she finally gained the ability to make it rain. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that decades if not centuries had past while she was training (long enough that the world had forgotten about the existence of spirits like her). By the time she returned to her village, there was nothing left but some gravestones.
• Mystical Lotus: She is a being who was birthed from a lotus flower (what she stands on in her splash art is a blooming lotus) and makes references to a "Sacred Utpala" as her in-game Frost Ultimate and a voice line; an utpala is often translated as "blue flower" from Sanskrit, being a popular Flower Motif for various Southeast Asian mythologies involving gods.
• Really 700 Years Old: She makes it clear from the start that she's a long-lived immortal like Minerdwen, calling the Evoker a "child".
• Sizeshifter: One Date has her mess with a shrinking spell that backfires on her, making her run out of magical power to maintain her form and turning her into her in-game chibi self that can sit on the Evoker's hand.
• Spirit Cultivation Genre: In contrast to Lin having a wuxia background what with her Charles Atlas Superpower and Ki Manipulation, Qu Ling's mystical powers and origins are straight out of xianxia. She also expounds on cultivators in her world during her first Date.
• Team Mom: In the sense of being wide in scope as a goddess-like figure, treating everyone she meets with benevolence. The 'mom' side of her gets prominent in her interactions with the Evoker, not helped by her calling him a “child”.
• Voluntary Shapeshifter: She was originally a little walking plant sprite before cultivating her powers, which includes transformation into the human form she uses now.
• Water Is Womanly: She is a woman who not only has powers of ice but also manipulates water as though it dances on its own.

Ruri Hagakure

Title: Sakura Mirage

Height and weight: 144cm (4'9")/36kg (79 lbs)

Age: 10

Zodiac: Taurus

Birthday: May 13

Element/s: Physical

Role/s: Attacker

Voiced by: Kaede Hondo

A child ninja slated as the heir of her ancient clan who carries around a bear doll named Kumataro. She served a master faithfully during her childhood, who she claims is the Evoker despite him not remembering.

---

• Blind Obedience: Her clan indoctrinated their ninjas to follow their master's orders to the letter. Ruri herself has always lived her life from then until now to follow her master without question, whether it was to kill a man and turn his daughter an orphan, and later on, follow the master she was supposed to be paired with even though he tried to turn her away. She acts this way towards the Evoker as a Doll, though he's working on changing that.
• Child Soldiers: The clan she came from trained children to be ninja, having them undertake harsh training and assassinations. Ruri was one such girl, aged 10 years old according to an official post, where her Past showed her assassinating a man celebrating his daughter's birthday party. Young as Ruri was and Just Following Orders, she did not really register the consequences of depriving a child of their parent, not even when she watched her cry.
• The Comically Serious: Given her lack of common sense having been raised as a ninja, a majority of her stories has her on edge against any possible threat in the Evoker's surroundings or taking the Evoker's orders too seriously. Her Lv. 1 Present story for one has her cry when the Evoker apparently doesn't remember her, with the latter saying not to cry, only for her to take his words as an order to hold her tears in. Then in the Lv. 7 story, she insists on going together with the Evoker to a banquet, except her idea of going "together" means leaping offscreen to shadow her master.
• Cute Bruiser: She's amongst the tiniest and youngest among the Dolls with the childish mentality to match, and packs a lot of deadly tools and assassination skills underneath her small frame.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Always holds a stuffed bear named Kumataro.
• Flechette Storm: Most of her normal skills have her raining down shuriken, kunai, and chains on her opponents.
• Ninja Brat: Natch. She was trained from birth within her ninja clan to dedicate her all to a young master, being a master of stealth, espionage and assassination despite being 10 years old.
• Noiseless Walker: As a good ninja should be. One patrol has her exterminate rats on a job without the inhabitants who were just coming home knowing, until she came out and reported to them.
• Reincarnation: At the very least, Ruri believes the Evoker to be her master, even if said master doesn't remember such a past life. However, a brief interaction between her and the Evoker during the Stringed Puppet event story makes the latter muse how familiar it feels.
• Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: She is an incredible assassin and bodyguard for the Evoker, but learnt nothing else that civilian children her age ought to. It's saddening when the Evoker asks whether she's envious of children playing in school during her Lv. 39 story, only for her to reply that she has nothing to envy over when she's never known such things and is happy with what she's got now.
• Undying Loyalty: To the Evoker, who she thought is her master from her previous life. It remains ambiguous as to whether both are the same person, but Ruri resolves herself to serve her newest master faithfully as a Doll.

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Birthday: November 28

Element/s: Fire/Shadow

Role/s: Defender/Attacker

Voiced by: Naomi Ozora

A spoiled demon princess that likes to cause mischief and mayhem for her entertainment.

---

• Big Bad: Of the Dream Quest v1.0 event. She "kidnaps" the other dolls and forces the Evoker and Coco to go through a video game transformed into a fantasy world in order to rescue them. The splash art is Satya gleefully sitting on her throne awaiting the heroic Coco to come fight her.
• BFS: Wields two giant blades twice the size of her body.
• Black Mage: Her second Shadow-based skillset has her become an Attacker, its skills (especially when upgraded) combined with Her Father's Ruby trait^note At base star level, it increases damage dealt by 5% against enemies under Eclipse. lets her deal more damage the more stacks of Eclipse her enemies have on them.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: She comments in Chapter 13 that maybe the lights given off by the lamps for a puzzle made right-angle shapes because the party can only move in four different directions. Inori immediately tells her they aren't supposed to talk about such things.
• The Chessmaster: She went to the human world, befriended Slime as her servant there, had him pose and live as a human, and empowered him to become the #1 monster-slaying hero to humanity. When the demons went to war with the humans later, she manipulated the humans into quickly surrendering by having their hero (Slime) lose to her in a humiliating fashion and that hero then urging the other humans to pursue peace.
• Daddy's Girl: Spoiled rotten by her father, to the point where he literally gave her the moon. She adores her father in return, eagerly hugging him as a greeting when she returned home from the human world.
• Fairy Companion: Has a red-colored slime that flies around her with wings who she calls... Slime. It regularly annoys her with its talking so much that she was probably the one who taped its mouth.
• Friendly Rivalry: With Inori, though Satya being Satya, she won't directly admit it's friendly. Satya's a demon while Inori is angelic themed, and Satya's pride thus dictates she not be upstaged whenever the two are working together. She constantly refers to Inori with seemingly derogatory names like "Angejoke" and "Fake Angel". "Seemingly", because as stated by Satya at the start of Chapter 11, she actually means "Fake Angel" as a compliment (Satya justifiably HATES the real angels from her world for being tyrannical murderous Knight Templars. The real angels from Inori's world were also horrific in a different way, too). Inori, being an energetic Nice Girl, is more than happy to participate in the rivalry, and is much more overtly friendly about it, much to Satya's frustration.
• Genius Bruiser: She's an imposing figure who boasts superior firepower as a Magic Knight or a Tank, but beneath her spoiled exterior she can be The Chessmaster or The Strategist when she wants to be. She's also a bit of a Badass Bookworm (although she reads books mostly as an attempt to satiate her boredom rather than any geek tendencies).
• Hot as Hell: She is a demon with a voluptuous body she doesn't seem to mind showing. Bonus points for her first skillset being Fire-themed.
• Hypocritical Heartwarming: She teases, bullies, and plays (often dangerous) pranks on Slime, but anyone else who threatens Slime will suffer her wrath (or the wrath of a Slime empowered by her magical strength spell).
• It Amused Me: Satya's life is a constant battle against boredom. She'll possess a painting to spook the Evoker, pretend that she's going to destroy the entire mansion, or suck the Evoker and a child into a fantasy world before designating them the heroes that must battle against her, all in an attempt to fight her boredom. Given that most of these scenarios end with Satya exclaiming "Boring..." with a sigh, she seems to be losing that battle.
• The Magnificent: Her exact title, and how she sometimes addresses herself just to underscore how prideful she is.
• Our Demons Are Different: Her black clothes, horns, heart-shaped tail, wings in her full art, and Fire- and Shadow-based skillsets invoke classic fantasy Fire and Brimstone Hell depictions of demons. She is also the daughter of a Demon King in her world.
• Punny Name: Her "Castle Satanya" skin is likely a pun on Castlevania.
• Reality Warper: To some extent. In the past, she granted Slime's wish to become stronger by transforming him into a human, and she can undo the transformation just as easily. In one patrol, she possesses a painting and makes it talk to spook the Evoker. In the first Dream Quest event, Satya transforms a video game into a virtual fantasy world that the Evoker and Coco have to go through. Presumably this power comes from her being a demon.
• Sadist: With a heaping of It's All About Me and a dash of Royal Brat, she often casually threatens the Evoker with her fire powers if she isn't entertained.
• Stone Wall: Her first Fire-based skillset has her act this way, albeit focused on protecting herself rather than covering for the rest of the team. Her Elven Bloodline trait encourages this by increasing her maximum health (by 1% at 1-star) whenever her allies inflict Burn.
• The Strategist: In the Demon-Angel war, the angels outnumbered the demons and thought they'd easily win. She overcame them with superior tactics, includng traps, ambushes, and siege warfare.
• Tsundere: Starts having shades of this as her affinity level gets raised.
• Willfully Weak: She posed as a human in the past and joined a monster-hunting guild for fun. Although she rose to the top of the ranks, her fireball was still incapable of harming a particularly strong beast so an angel had to rescue her. When the angels later betrayed her, they learned the hard way that she was way stronger than she let on.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: At the end of the Dream Quest v1.0 event, she planned on having a fun mock battle with Coco, but upon realizing she'd have to fight Coco for real due to Coco wielding an enchanted sword that could actually harm her, Satya immediately bails, exclaiming that she won't go "all out" on a child.

Silenus

Title: Ultimate Entropy

Height and weight: 135cm/34kg

Zodiac: Aries

Birthday: March 3

Element/s: Frost/Fire

Role/s: Attacker/Supporter

Voiced by: Yuuki Kuwahara

A young researcher and daughter of the Stellar Science Institute's director that once went on self-indulgent trysts when her world was about to end with the sun depleting its energy, but would later snap out of it to try to prevent said end by reversing time itself.

---

• Brilliant, but Lazy: She's an extraordinary scientist capable of manipulating time and space, but would prefer to laze around in her room all day than going outside.
• Carpe Diem: Deconstructed. Her world was on the verge of ending when its sun was about to die, but rather than fall into panic and chaos, its people instead enjoyed life while they still could. While basic needs and entertainment like food and games are still provided for, resources were being eaten up in a frenzy, scientific advancement grounded to a halt and public welfare institutions like schools were closing down; all the things needed to continue living in the moment were maintained, but there was no thought for the future because, as Silenus puts it, "progress is no longer meaningful".
• For Science!: Her seventh Date, "Human or Xenogamy", has her question the coincidence of Dolls like herself being humans just like those on Litoris. To prove whether humans on Litoris and other worlds, if not herself, are the same down to a physiological level, she suggests making a baby between the Evoker and herself to see if they are compatible. The Evoker awkwardly protests, and Silenus gets embarrassed when she fully registers what she's saying and concludes that making a baby just to prove a theory isn't something to play around with anyway.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: As an avid video gamer who also manipulates time and space, it'll forever be left unknown to us whether she's just lampshading video game tropes or has some kind of awareness that she's in one.
  • During her Lv. 33 Present story, she says she wouldn't miss the music festival since there will be a CG to get. Then when she's being rescued by the Evoker, she teasingly asks if he was impatient in getting the CG, which is right in the middle of a CG scene.
  • In her ninth Date, when the Evoker asks why she keeps wearing her signature white coat, she replies it's probably meant to reduce workload related to her own art and to make getting a new skin more vivid from her default.
• Liquid Courage: Invokes this in her ninth Date to confess her love to the Evoker.
• Named After Somebody Famous: Silenus is named after a Greek god who was companion and foster father to Dionysus. He has contradictory myths of someone who indulges in debauchery and yet being a wise person in others; this matches Silenus's propensity for laziness, but is also a scientific genius who knows when to draw the line, even relevant to her past where she acted to save her world whereas everyone else has given up in favor of doing whatever they want in the time left. The scientist herself is aware of her namesake, although she uses it as an excuse to drink champagne because she can still act sober just like the god... only to get drunk after the first glass.
• Promoted to Parent: She mentions having a younger sister in her Present stories. Her Past reveals that their father passed away, leaving the young Silenus to raise her baby sister on her own. Despite the difficulties that come with being a kid suddenly given a massive responsibility though, Silenus manages to become a Cool Big Sis and grew to like looking after her sister.
• Science Hero: You have an alien catgirl, a spaceship android, a magitech-armored fighter, and other similarly science-based Dolls. Silenus stands out among them as the first bonafide human Doll using pure technology (Nicolette is firmly on the biological, more medieval side), which is so advanced it's lampshaded in one of her Date stories as Magic from Technology.
• The Shut-In: She is this before in life and now as a Doll, resisting every attempt the Evoker tries at bringing her out of the mansion unless something caught her interest on a whim, like the space-time warping phenomenon happening in Litoris. Her Present and Date storylines come to eventually have her go out more often, if only to find more interest than the ones she has right now.
• Supreme Chef: Downplayed, verging on One-Note Cook.
  • She can competently cook for a shut-in, something Silenus herself smugly calls out the Evoker on for expecting that, having learned to do so taking care of her sister. Except, all the dishes made are the fatty, fried, and non-vegetable kind she likes.
  • A Date story has her making espresso lattes for herself and the Evoker (as a complex visual metaphor of the entropy of the universe and its eventual destruction), apparently having learnt it from playing café dating sims.
• Technobabble: She very frequently engages in this as a scientist with a penchant for analyzing everything around her, including souls and magic. It takes the Evoker a while to at least understand and memorize a couple concepts she spouts.

Element/s: Shadow

Role/s: Supporter/Attacker

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara

The very first Doll the Evoker summons, having been an ordinary devout servant of a divine being known as Divinity until she became involved in a conspiracy. She is kind at heart and especially gifted with housekeeping, although a secret pleasure of hers is to read adult romance novels.

---

• All for Nothing: Despite being a mundane girl who survived her village being destroyed by a conspiracy manufacturing a kingdom-wide disease, lived through being shot by a crossbow, traveled all the way to the capital to warn of said conspiracy, attempted to break into the castle, and actually delivered her plea to the king in person, the king quickly dismissed her and kept public order from being unsettled by having her burned at the stake. It's a miracle that she never lost her faith.
• Badass Driver: In the Wonderland event, without any explanation how or why especially when her world has no cars and Litoris's mechanical cars are still new, she very competently drives one in the prologue to save the Evoker and Miko in the nick of time by ramming into the thugs chasing after them.
• Burn the Witch!: Her eventual fate before becoming a Doll, as seen in her PV and Past scenes.
• Black Mage: Her second skillset lets her be this, casting AOE attacks that her Eclipse-inducing Romance Reader trait^note Without upgrades, it inflicts 1 stack of Eclipse with a 30% chance whenever Virgina deals Shadow damage. can take advantage of.
• Character Narrator: Played for Laughs in some scenes where she suddenly narrates whatever is going on, probably influenced by her love of romance novels and her tendency to reference their scenes. She also becomes this for the "Eternal Moment" Verve where she talks about the goings-ons with the Dolls during a party.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: She always puts her wellbeing before that of anyone else, believing that it's a small sacrifice to make in protecting the world.
• Covert Pervert:
  • Admonishes the Evoker for perverted behavior from time to time, but she's explicitly stated to enjoy romance novels of a more... risqué nature unexpected of a woman of the cloth.
  • Her Thorns at Midnight skin is a Stripperiffic Navel-Deep Neckline dress that's half bloody-Mary and half-vampire themed. Wearing it and setting Virginia as your secretary will have her worried that she'll lose herself to her desires, with her hair periodically switching to a white color and back again to signify her internal conflict.
• Crisis of Faith: Subverted; there have been a couple of moments where Virgina discusses her faith in The Divinity, and at times speaks of Shera with great respect. Then her Lv. 45 Present story has the Evoker directly ask whether she's planning on changing her faith. Her answer? A serious "no", despite everything that happened to her.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Wears dark blue clothing, and her two skill sets all involve the Shadow element, but she is a devout servant of her home world's divine being and is one of the nicest people around.
• Deuteragonist: Shares the leading role with the Evoker, as she's the first Doll he's ever summoned.
• Hidden Buxom: Her summer skin shows that she's actually way bigger than how she normally looks.
• Lunacy: Her skills are all based on this theme; their icons involve the moon and stars, Waxing and Waning are names of phases of the moon, and using the Shadow element fits with a night sky for the moon and stars to show in. Outside of that, the top of her Magic Staff is shaped using crescent moons and a star, and her own on-the-nose title is "Crescent Moon". One has to wonder whether she actually worships the Divinity or Shera.
• In Mysterious Ways: "The Divinity" is the god she worships, back then and now, despite the complete lack of material involvement They show. Although her faith is still strong despite everything she went through, there are moments when she discusses this in her bond stories, at times making comparisons to Shera, who is unquestionably real and someone Virgina can actually reference as more than a vague idea.
• Magic Staff: Wields a golden staff taller than herself, topped with a crescent-shaped head around a smaller blue crescent centered around a blue star.
• Medieval European Fantasy: The type of world she comes from seems to be in its European-style Middle Ages, showing off a classical village with a cloister, horse-drawn carriages and swords—all mundane stuff with no magic or anything fantastical for most of her Past, discounting her evocation and powers as a Doll at the very end of her life. It's only when Virgina stumbles on a secret cave there is the first mention of 'magic', which is really the source of the kingdom's own Black Death, engineered by a clandestine cult seeking to overthrow the kingdom.
• Nice Girl: She always devotes herself to other people's wellbeing, like tiring herself out helping people move things in her Present story, or in her Past, coming all the way to the king to deliver a warning about a cult trying to destroy the kingdom for no other reason than saving people.
• Running Gag: Whenever she blurts out a scene from one of her adult romance novels. This usually provokes a scathing gaze from the Evoker that gets her embarrassed before he swears to search for her books to make sure Coco doesn't find them.
• Starter Mon: Acts as your starting healer, and is surprisingly good at it even in the lategame.
• Team Chef: She is noted to be the Squad's best cook that any other Doll wanting to cook or gets a food-related scene often have her mentioned in passing.
• Team Mom: Cooking, cleaning, waking up the Evoker from bed, haggling at the market, a Nice Girl to everyone—is it a wonder why the Evoker, and most of the Dolls even, would call her "mom"?
  • In the Playtime's Over event, if the Evoker leaves Virgina with Akaset and Juewa, he remarks that it feels like he put the mom in charge of taking care of the kids.
  • Her Red Baron in stage 12-5 is "Useless Human Making Machine", which is a rather lewd and rude way of saying being a mom is her entire identity. Also the wrong context for it, too; it's possible her mind gave her that title because she was feeling guilty about not being able to save someone the party met earlier.
  • In the 2nd season of Monster Academy, during one group chat session, Virgina offers to cook some food for everyone. This resulted in ten other dolls in a row eagerly putting in their orders while calling her "Mom". Virgina wasn't amused.
• White Mage: Her first skillset despite her Shadow-based skills, with her passive Trait, Compassion, boosting her single-target healing effects. A Present story clarifies she can heal minor wounds and fevers outside of Graveland.

A bright-eyed snow woman who dreams of making it big in the merchant world with her devious tactics.

---

• Because You Were Nice to Me: She's a selfish greedy merchant. However, in the past, she gave her life to save her village from an oni warlord by freezing him with her, because they took her in after her mother died.
  She decided to gamble her life to realize this last plan. For a businessman, life is the last capital, but in the case of optimal profit, what is wrong with investing the entire capital? [...] The reason for all this is that a group of kind people took in a homeless snow rabbit and brought her hope to live on.
• Family Business: Her Past story reveals that her mom once owned a bigger ice sculpture shop that the two of them managed until war caught up to the two's relatively peaceful life, destroying the business and taking Yuki's mother's life in the process. She now aims to revive their once-promising business one step at a time, even when she's in another world altogether.
• Guile Hero: In the past when Yuki was forced to be a hero to save her village, she fancied herself this, reasoning that it's only natural for a great cunning merchant to be a great cunning hero. Just like her schemes as a merchant, most of her plots to defeat the oni warlord failed badly either because the plan wasn't thought out well, because Yuki missed a crucial detail, or because Yuki just screwed up the execution. Yuki finally got the last laugh (literally) when she successfully lured the oni into her trap at the cost of her life.
• An Ice Person: A Yuki-onna, and her first skill set revolves around using ice to attack her foes.
• Manchild: Amusingly leans into this during chapter 14. The other two Dolls accompanying the Evoker are actual children (Freesia and Ruri), yet both of them take the mission much more seriously than the adult Yuki, who's more interested in finding treasure and making money despite the rather serious nigh-apocalyptic setting, and comes across as downright bratty at times. Even Yuki herself notices at several points and gets embarrassed about it.
• Refuge in Audacity: She's able to get away with some of her more zany schemes due to this. In one patrol scene, she comes across two nobles arguing over who's legally liable for a car accident and offers to resolve the matter for 10,000 gold coins. She takes the money, declares all legal damages are now paid for, and leaves. The nobles are so confused that they don't go after her.
• Snake Oil Salesman: Yuki's focus on money is pretty much her defining trait. Upon her first meeting with the Evoker, she offers him an ice sculpture for sale, and even when she offers one freely as a token of their meeting she demands a gift in return. Her first few Past scenes even showed her attempting to trick an unlucky passerby into paying her a ludicrous amount of compensation money for "destroying" one of her ice sculptures.
  • She'll try to sell her wares using dubious marketing methods such as claiming they're authentic authorized Lady Shera merchandise (when she was actually manning an official temple booth for entirely unrelated reasons) or telling potential customers that the temporary happiness her ice sculptures bring before they melt is the purest happiness of all (which is rather overselling things).
• Spam Attack: Her Shadow skillset, especially her Ultimate Skill, is based around sending multiple fan attacks at a single enemy, making her great for enabling Vulnerable status (given one of its weaknesses is Shadow).
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: In one patrol, she catches a poor kid trying to steal one of her snow rabbits for his little sister. Yuki's first instinct is to call the guards to arrest them, but when his sister pleads for him, she realizes that's too harsh for children and instead lets them work for her as penance. She even pays them with free food and rabbits (but not money!).
• Yuki-onna: Is this, and her merchant business revolves around selling ice sculptures created using her powers.
