Litoris
Litoris in general
- Evil Tainted the Place: The Ruins, right next to Litoris Island. They were the epicenter of the Grand Earthquake ten years ago and though Litoris has restored itself since then, the Ruins were left alone because of the potential dangers of an unknown 'curse' that is making plant life incapable of growing on the still-barren land, even though it's being investigated if there is one. Not even Ithil, an accomplished magician (though arguably specialized in destruction rather than creation), could reverse any of the damage in one patrol there. The Evoker, though, notes that there are some plants growing between the rocks, so there's hope the curse will be overcome.
Templar Order of Luna
The Order in general
- Covert Group with Mundane Front: Due to security reasons, not least of which are the hidden Witches running around and that Evokers crucial to Graveland exploration are few in number, Evokers work undercover as one of the Order's "Special Task Squads" that work with the city guards to maintain public order. Miyo's fourth Present story also explains that the Dolls working part-time moonlight as a "labor outsourcing group" with the Evoker as their leader.
- Knight Templar: As part of the Templar Order of Luna, they are obliged to hunt down Witches on sight. The Order proves their devotion to this cause by holding public burnings at the stake.
- Magic Is Evil: Subverted for the most part. Their patron goddess, Shera, granted them the ability to use magic to start with, which led to the development of Magitek and magic (its public use termed "Sorcery") being accepted around the world. Even so, there are Witches that remain a threat to society and use the same spells as Sorcerors do, so it's easy for non-magicians to mistake the work of a Witch for a Sorceror's, and vice versa.
- Summoning Artifact: The 11th Branch Order headquarters has an underground room containing a special altar that allow Evokers to summon Dolls (with help from the goddess Shera). Of course, this is your main way of pulling characters in a gacha game.
Grand Templar Adrian
The Templar Order's most famous knight and leader.
- Universally Beloved Leader: Despite not making an appearance in-story for a long while since the prologue, everyone from the average commoner to stiff-faced Rosario have nothing but good things to say about him.
Saintess Sylvia
A blonde woman who is a popular saintess within the Templar Order of Luna.
She appears in the last episode of Chapter 4 to sing for the masses in Litoris at the end of the festival.

11th Branch Order
Special Task Squad
The Squad in general
- True Companions: Regardless of what happens throughout the story, everyone sticks together. When Deanna is revealed to be a Witch in Chapter II, Yannick gets wary of her, but ultimately accepts that he'll have a Witch for a teammate and even still calls her names as before.
The Evoker
The Evoker, as shown in one of Benten's CGs.
The player character. One of the only few Evokers to be able to handle summoning and commanding multiple Dolls at once.
- Chick Magnet: Even setting aside the Dolls he interacts with almost 24/7, he has gained the attention of a few girls in the story, like Dallian, Anastasiya, and Deanna.
- Asuna and Ennis lampshade this in Playtime's Over. Also doubles as a Five-Second Foreshadowing when they do meet a girl right after.Asuna: If we can somehow meet the key person of this event...Ennis: That's easy. Don't forget that there is a big shot in our team who "has a unique skill".Asuna: ...That's right, after all, that "big shot" can always attract some key people. Especially, cute girls.
- In the Illusionary Sins event, he unintentionally manages to get SID30072, a computer terminal, to fall in love with him.
- Even monsters aren't out of the question; Monster Academy has him date previous enemy monsters-turned-students, including Lucifee (Pride), Asmodie (Lust), Leviathany (Envy) and Beelzebuby (Gluttony) of the Seven Sins, and Towa, Yuki and Shinobu from Yomi Marsh. Later event Golden Crepuscule has Pride in particular clearly smitten with the Evoker but hiding it; even Virtuoso gets in on this too, a weekly Overlord boss of all people, who had been observing the Evoker and now wants him to become a puppet like her.
- Asuna and Ennis lampshade this in Playtime's Over. Also doubles as a Five-Second Foreshadowing when they do meet a girl right after.
- Chosen One: One of the only few people that can control Dolls and survive the Graveland for a longer amount of time.
- Church Militant: Affiliated with the church that handles the extermination of the Witches.
- Closer to Earth: His defining trait is to act as a voice of reason for his friends and Dolls, lacking in any traumatic baggage or biases to help others stay on the straight and narrow.
- Though his best friend Yannick is also a fellow victim of the Earthquake and hates Witches as a result, and that magic is still viewed with suspicion in the Templar Order, the Evoker does not show much, if any animosity towards these subjects and keeps a level head. This lets him get along with Dolls fearful of alienation, and to still trust Deanna even after she revealed herself as a Witch.
- A lot of Doll stories has the Evoker helping to acclimate them to a peaceful life in Litoris, something much needed due to how heavily some carry their past hangups. It's in these moments where their Evoker shows wisdom to be serious not just about their physical well-being, but their mental and spiritual sides too.
- When Miyo contemplates killing a corrupt nobleman since the law can't reach him, the Evoker tells her to shelve the idea as a backup because he doesn't want her hands even dirtier than they already are, and to have faith in the City Guard to handle the matter. It shows the kind of character he has to keep caring for Miyo despite her dark plan while acknowledging the possibility of the Guards' failure.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Might cross with The Shrink, being that the Dolls under his command has the likes of Freesia, Satya, Ennis, Lilyiro, Dreizehn, Mako, Yuki...
- Conveniently an Orphan: He, along with his childhood friend Yannick, lost his parents in the Great Earthquake that happened 10 years before the story began, leading him to becoming an Evoker candidate.
- Cuteness Proximity: He has a paternal instinct for little pint-sized cuties like Coco, as well as Alaph, immediately dismissing her ditzy personality as a non-issue because she's a cute child that ought to be protected.
- Depending on the Writer: The Evoker's personality may sometimes change between Doll stories to accommodate certain Dolls' personalities, from being the Cloudcuckoolander to being the Straight Man. If there's anything consistent between these, it's his Nice Guy tendencies and his desires to do good with his job and his treatment of the Dolls.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Obtains one after ending up as one of Litoris's Seven Mysteries: "Boytoy". This is revealed in one of the Patrol stories players can get in the Dumpshire at night.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Gets one in Chapter 4, when he deduces the mechanics of the Monsta Play's stage rewinding time for not only itself and also Litoris, as well as the true identity of Asagiri being Amon in a later time. He has to be corrected by Deanna later when it's revealed Asagiri is actually Yotsuyu, the Yotsuyu in Litoris and the Yotsuyu in the Play are separate people because of his interference, and that Litoris's rewinding is actually an advanced illusion displacing people to look like it, but it's still an awesome moment of analysis he took of his own agency this time rather than leaving it to Deanna as with the previous chapters. Even the Sorceress herself sounds surprised when she observes he was only confirming his theories with her.
- Featureless Protagonist: Due to its dating sim nature, the game follows the genre's style of this trope: explicitly male, dark black hair, eyeless face, and all other bells and whistles expected of a self-insert character.
- Good Wears White: He follows the uniform style of the Order's Evokers: a white coat, with a Cleavage Window showing his black skintight suit underneath it, white trousers, and a red armband around his right arm.
- The Hero: The main character.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: His name is given by the player.
- In-Series Nickname: Most characters will refer to him as "Evoker" or the player's Hello, [Insert Name Here], but some have unique names for him: "Your Grace" (Virgina), "Bestie/Chap" (Yannick), "Summoner" (Benten), "Knight-sama" (Aurora), "Mortal" (Satya), "Believer" (Mako), "Mortal" (Satya), "Mortal" and later "Little Bat" (Minerdwen), "Producer" (Netsuki), "Darling" (Kitsune), "Governor/Your Excellency" (Ennis), "Tono"* (Ruri), "Loser/Trash/Slacker" (Lavira), "Assistant" (Nicolette), "Commander/Officer" (Dreizhen), "Editor" (Alisa), "[nickname]-kun/kouhai" (Inori), "Child" (Qu Ling), "Mr. [nickname]" (Miyo), "Footman" (Clotho), "Master" (Qing Dai), and "Senior Brother"* (Qing Hao). Dolls sometimes change to using his name or use another nickname (like Minerdwen) upon higher bond levels.
- The player is apparently intended to put this to use in the Dream Quest v1.0 event. At several points, the player is asked to identify a Doll from dialogue alone, and the easiest way to figure out the right answer is looking at which nickname that Doll refers to the Evoker with.
- In Dream Quest v2.0, the Evoker is called the "Demon King Tutor" (and "Lord Demon King Tutor" by others) for now-ruler Coco, the Demon King.
- Knight Templar: Subverted. It's noteworthy that quite a few Dolls like Lilyiro, Minerdwen, and Colcher start off their introductions questioning, if not criticizing the Templar Order's appellation of Witches, but the Evoker always replies with an answer along the lines of Figure It Out Yourself and displays a calm view on the matter. This is despite being a victim of the Witches' Great Earthquake, which he lost his parents to.
- Loved by All: His personality can be a case of Depending on the Writer, like being the Voice of Reason and/or a Butt-Monkey to the wackier Dolls, or acting as An Aesop after certain dramatic episodes, or being an unhesitant All-Loving Hero just doing his job for the good of all. But whatever the case, he's definitely liked by his friends and Dolls at their highest bond levels.
- Weak, but Skilled: The Evoker is an ordinary mortal human and weak compared to the Dolls under his command, even when out of Graveland, but it is noted that his soul frequency is compatible with many Dolls unlike fellow Evoker Yannick, who only managed to summon Isabelle.
- Weirdness Magnet: A possible reference to the Evoker's Chick Magnet tendencies and doubles as a Title Drop. During Main Story Chapter III, Deanna makes a joke about why the Evoker has incidents constantly happen around them, inspired by some memories she watched in an incomplete charm she keeps, in which a woman asks about why the moon creates tides.Deanna: Tides are caused by celestial gravity. The souls, who will go through ups and downs because of you, ceaselessly approach you. Can that be called a tidal phenomenon brought about by your existence?
Yannick
Height and Weight: 5'10/159 lbs
Job Title: Member of the Special Task
Another Evoker of the ST Squad and childhood friend to the player Evoker. His (only) summoned Doll is Isabelle.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He's a Nice Guy who works for the sake of Litoris, but he's also upfront about his tastes in women. Isabelle keeps him tied up and hanging outside of their house to keep him from getting in bed with his Doll.
- Conveniently an Orphan: Like the Evoker, Yannick became an orphan during the Great Earthquake 10 years before the events of the story, later becoming an Evoker candidate. It is also why he is hostile to witches as they were the ones who caused the disaster.
- Embarrassing Nickname: During their reunion in Chapter IV, childhood carer Rosie calls him "Tigress" because Yannick looked like a girl back when he was young, leading to the Evoker, Isabelle, and Virgina reacting in disgust when they assume he's had eyes for the Evoker. Thankfully for the guy, Rosie was just joking.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Where to start... His Establishing Character Moment happens on his introduction: Isabelle derides her Evoker for messing up the ritual that causes her to lose her memories, causing him to make excuses, and when the train they are in gets flipped over by a witch, Yannick is saved from harm by Isabelle... with his sprite upside-down, suggesting he was tossed out headfirst. In the chapter after that, Yannick bombastically introduces himself, leading to one dialogue prompt for the Evoker to pretend Yannick doesn't exist and Isabelle playing along. Then he badmouths Rosario, his own superior, and is thus forced to run 300 laps around the base. The hijinks only continue from there in every scene he's shown in.
- The Nicknamer: So far, it's "Bestie" for the Evoker, "Isa-chan" for Isabelle, "Rosa-chan" for Rosario, "Giant Flea" for Coco, "Captain Mushroom" for Baisley, and "Runaway" for Deanna.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Whenever witches get involved. During the 4th main part of Chapter 1, he is met hanging around a women's-only bathhouse when the squad is called to watch over the execution of a witch. Despite Virgina pointing out the lack of a fair trial, Yannick counters that such delays could lead to potential deaths and stresses that no witch deserves to remain living.
Isabelle
Height and Weight: 5'2/99 lbs
Job Title: Doll
The only Doll summoned by Yannick, deprived of memories. Though she carries herself with a great deal of professionalism, she acts condescending and mean to Yannick.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: She ruefully sees herself as this towards Yannick, and it's often justified.
- Ghost Amnesia: Has little to no memories of her life before ending up as a Doll. She blames it on her evoker's "lack of talent".
- Mysterious Waif: Courtesy of her Ghost Amnesia, but further progress in the main story's Chapter 2 reveals she has been randomly murdering people in the night for reasons unknown, and when discussing Coco's mysterious horns, she suddenly displays knowledge of Continent Crescent's extinct dragons down to the tidbit that the dragons were the previous wielders of magic they had passed down to Witches.
- Not So Above It All: She's calm and stoic, but she'll play pranks on others every once in a while. In one patrol, she pretends to seduce the Evoker as a joke. In another, in order to get some payback on the Evoker for surprising her, she has him try on a dress that Yannick brought for her, before commenting that she can see why Yannick finds it so fun. Yannick's and the Evoker's antics are probably rubbing off on her.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The calm Blue to Yannick's energetic Red. That said, the moment her Evoker gets into danger, Isabelle herself can quickly get violent.
- Required Secondary Powers: Or required secondary power (as in the quantity of it), at least. It's mentioned early on that Isabelle is as strong as five dolls combined. Thanks to this, Yannick and Isabelle are able to do their duty and conduct missions in the Graveland, which normally requires a party of five dolls.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She favors 'ice' more than she does 'sugar', but she does have her moments of kindness, especially with her Evoker.
Dallian
Height and Weight: 5'1/101 lbs
Job Title: Liaison to the Order
A liaison of the Order and communications operator for the Special Task Squad. Has a fondness for slacking off the job and cats.
- Bizarre Taste in Food: By Shera, it's weird. In Mist's first bond story for one, she mentions drinking "green pepper fondue-flavored sparkling water".
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She has plenty of moments where she loafs around on the job, but when she does get serious, she excels.
- Crazy Cat Lady: She is often compared to a cat and likes cats herself.In-game description of Fish Soup: Its aroma attracts Dallian and cats.
- Dark and Troubled Past: A side chapter reveals that she lost a team in a delve into Graveland, making her reflect on her inexperience as an operator. This is what drives her to expertly guide one team out of trouble during the same chapter, a serious side of her that the Evoker had never seen before.
- Mission Control: Her main job for Evokers exploring the Graveland.
- Greed: Downplayed. It's not like she's dead poor given that she's got a job, but she's always on the hunt for any money-making ventures in the various scenes and events she appears in. She got a change of fortunes when she becomes the overseer of an arcane ore mine, that she easily treats the Evoker to lunch when she might've balked at the idea before, and smugly shows off the mansion she lives in to work near the mine.
- Prospector: The new update for the Trinket system is explained by Dallian suddenly treating the Evoker to lunch and taking him to see a mansion that she's living in now. It turns out that the move to this fancy home is because she is overseeing a mine full of arcane ore, which is a main component of Continent Crescent's Magitek and, in gameplay, what you use to upgrade trinkets.
- Ship Tease: A few times with the Evoker in scenes featuring herself.
- The Monster Academy event gives her an affinity bar, marking her as a capture target. (For those interested, no, you can't raise her affinity even if the game says so through calls or events and get a romance scene with her.)
- In the Training Simulacrum event, she accidentally confesses to the Evoker. Dallian then remarks that she was actually supposed to confess in a more romantic circumstance during the Monster Academy event, but the developers hid that easter egg too deep in, presumably referencing how you could call her up hundreds of times during the Monster Academy event receiving the "Dallian's affinity has increased!" message just as many times, yet her affinity bar wouldn't move a pixel.
- The Slacker: She is more likely to be found lazing around rather than doing her job, as long as she's not working on something serious anyway.
- Snake Oil Salesman: This is usually how she operates for the sake of getting profits, aggressively promoting the Order's products whenever she can to the Evoker. In Mist's Present storyline, there were a couple of instances where she gets the Evoker to buy some products in exchange for help with Mist.
Anastasiya
Height and Weight: 5'1/105 lbs
Job Title: Captain of Litoris Special Task Squad
A noblewoman who is the head of the ST Squad, spoiled and flippant. She is often followed by her three henchmen, Alex, Gergely, and Blair.
- The Alleged Boss: Ostensibly of the Task Squad. It's just that her Rich Bitch arrogance, ego and comical Butt-Monkey moments make it impossible for anyone to take her seriously, especially Deanna.
- Butt-Monkey: She's pretty much a contender for Yannick's position, especially with people like the Evoker, her older sister, and her own butler not taking her seriously, or Deanna mercilessly subjecting Anastasiya to her own jokes. Gets prominent during the later half of Chapter 2 in the main story.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
- The Evoker and Anastasiya have a scene where they meet each other at a market where the latter goes grocery shopping (because her older sister forced her to have her grow out of being spoiled). Despite the Evoker teasing her and ignoring her orders and offers, he points out that she could have used her position to try and bully him into obeying, but did no such thing.
- One patrol has her offer the Evoker the video game he really wanted if he barks like a dog. Refuse, and she'll let him have the game anyways. Accept, and she reveals that she didn't actually expect nor want him to go through with it, although despite her disgust she'll still keep her word and let him have the game.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: Has her trademark "Ohhh-hahajajaja!" Gets Played for Laughs in one scene during the 8th part of Chapter 2 when Deanna exploits this trope as an Impostor-Exposing Test—which Anastasiya fails.Anastasiya: Ohhh-hahajajaja~~~ H-How was that?Deanna: One too many trills! Identification failed!
- Ojou Ringlets: She's a noblewoman with her hair done up in twintails styled into big ringlets.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Being the captain of the ST Squad makes her this by default, even if she is rarely around for the incidents and acts spoiled about her position. The last part of Chapter II's main story however has her furiously reciting the concept of noblesse oblige as something she believes in when fellow nobleman William Campbell abuses his position to commit various atrocities for his daughter's resurrection.
- Ship Tease: With the Evoker in a Patrol story featuring her. In another one where she talks to her older sister, the latter notes about how much she talks about the Evoker, to which she goes in denial about.
- Spoiled Brat: She likes to show off how much she could outspend her subordinates and holds her ego above the clouds.
Alex, Gergely, and Blair
Alex
Height and Weight: 5'3/121 lbs
Job Title: Sorceror
Gergely
Height and Weight: 5'8/137 lbs
Job Title: Sorceror
Blair
Height and Weight: 6'6/199 lbs
Job Title: Sorceror
- In-Series Nickname: Collectively in the eponymous Chapter 2 side story featuring them, "Black Tri-stars".
Deanna
Deanna de Hoffman
Height and Weight: 5'7/132 lbs
Job Title: Member of the Special Task Squad
A Sorceress graduate of the Academy of Sorcery and the latest addition to the Special Task Squad. Her full name is Deanna de Hoffman, daughter of a rich family that is looking for her while she keeps her identity a secret.
- Despair Event Horizon: After Leila's death, a lighthearted chapter where Deanna enters her Mental World to get rid of her fear of cockroaches turns into an attempt to destroy her memories of Leila along with the grief built up over the incident. Thankfully, the Evoker is there to convince her into properly mourning instead.
- First-Name Basis: She has everyone in the ST Squad call her this during their first meeting. Justified since she is hiding from her parents so saying her last name would be fatal for her undercover identity, especially when it belongs to a renowned family.
- Hot Witch: Not only is she capable of magic, she is a beautiful woman with the biggest bust out of the entire cast. During Deanna's introduction in the main story, this is essentially Virgina's first impression of her. And she is an actual Witch Hidden in Plain Sight.Virgina: [Coco and Deanna] are both fine since the cushion area is... are quite huge...
- The Reveal: She gets suspected of being a witch since she was nearest to the scene where a witch escaped and Coco detected the witch's scent on her, but she convinces everyone that she is merely a legal Sorceress. Come the next scene right after, she meets up with the escaped witch, revealed to be Leila, and not only reveals that they know each other but also that Deanna too is a witch.
- The Runaway: Invoked as Yannick's nickname for Deanna, since she is hiding from her rich parents still searching for her.
- Running Gag: Ever since her pretending to be a caterpillar NPC guide in Dream Quest v1.0, the Evoker has kept on asking every other caterpillar he meets in every event to make sure they aren't Deanna. So far he's met the NPC guide Miss Furry in Dream Quest v2.0 who is actually the previous Demon King, an unnamed caterpillar monster antagonist in Dream Quest v3.0, and King Anna of the Kingdom of Anna in Cultivation Cradle.
- Ship Tease:
- As the main story progresses, the Evoker and Deanna get a few private moments that suggest the latter is getting fonder of the former. The embodiment of Deanna's memories of Leila even teases her about the Evoker being her boyfriend, and seeing as Memory!Leila is a part of her mind, it is possible Deanna secretly sees the Evoker as more than a colleague.
- The "Alternate Life" side story series is about our main cast's different selves in a modern city, where in the midst of the numerous wacky happenings are moments that push the Evoker and Deanna together such as them being father and mother in a forced roleplay board game, and sharing a tender moment that prompts Coco and Gretchen to prepare a wedding.
- Sweet Tooth: So much that this causes her to become a Cordon Bleugh Chef because she keeps making everything she cooks too sugary for others to eat.
- Token Wizard: Deanna is the only Sorceror of the Squad, in contrast to the Evokers who mostly direct their Dolls and have little experience in using magic, and is a native, living person unlike the otherworldly Dolls. On the literal side of things, Deanna is a Witch with a capital "W", as in, one of the very people the Order she is a part of swore to hunt down.
- Tsundere: She presents herself as a haughty high-class woman at least more respectable than Anastasiya, but noteworthy moments ranging from her worries over Coco to fabricating a reason for Rachel to continue living show she is really a good person at heart.
- Wham Line: The last main episode of Chapter 4 is a major hint why she's been secretively viewing the memories of the amulet's former owner. The woman in the memory said: "Come quickly, come to your mother, my Deanna...", revealing that the necklace belonged to her birth father, which throws into question as to who the de Hoffmans actually are when the woman in the memories—her own mother—is shown to be a Witch. Then this is followed by the necklace resonating the moment the Saintess of the Templar Order appeared to sing on stage for Litoris's people.
Other Personnel
Rosario
Height and Weight: 5'6/128lbs
Job Title: Head of the Templar Knights
Ruler of Umazlo and commander-in-chief of the Vakosa Knights. She is responsible for the Order's local branches and is the leader of the 11th Branch's ST Squad, reputed for her fastidiousness and rigor.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: How everyone around her mostly views her, which gets subverted during the Evoker's side stories with her as a case of having No Social Skills.
- Fangirl: Of Grand Templar Adrian in a subtle, admiring way. She even learns how to play a board game called Luna Chess for a game tournament just to not embarrass herself in front of him.
- Knight in Shining Armor: Her heavily-plated Battle Ballgown complete with a sword and shield evokes this image of an ideal and reliable knight, which she is conscious of. She even came up with a rehearsed line should a little girl trip in front of her and interrupt her speech, which is when she gracefully helps her up.
- No Social Skills: Her first few side stories show this side of her as opposed to the Ice Queen image people have of her. The side story "Luna Chess" has this gem:Rosario: Between me and work, which is more important to you?The Evoker: Uhhh... How should I answer this?!Rosario: Something is odd. The adjutant did say that posing a dilemma like this would make the counterpart feel boundless fear and at one's mercy. In fact, she herself was trembling all over because of it.The Evoker: I think it was definitely a shiver in a different sense.
SID30075
One of the A.I.s of the Templar Order, responsible for the evoking process conducted in the 11th Branch's headquarters. She (yes, she) has a rather witty personality.
Others
Shera
Height and Weight: ???/???
Job Title: ???
The Moon Goddess of Luna, enlightening her believers through their dreams.
- Deity of Human Origin: Possibly. A patrol in the Central Square museum states that long ago she existed on earth where she helped various countries rebel against an empire (while mostly naked according to the displays), but it doesn't specify if she was already a goddess that was just in a human body, or a normal human that later ascended to godhood.
- Ethereal White Dress: As seen in her profile picture, she wears one with the lower parts turning into a backdrop of a star-spangled night sky that accentuates the mystery she has surrounding her... even if she tends to break it with her casualness in what few scenes she features in.
- Goddess of the Moon: She is the goddess that the entire Templar Order is formed around and the biggest religion accepted on Continent Crescent, so much that smaller religions like the one Carola and Matisse follows, or Mako, a self-proclaimed goddess, are considered heretical to the followers.
- In Mysterious Ways: For all everyone knows of her, it's rare for her to communicate with mortals, if she does so with anyone other than the Evoker. She playfully lampshades this at the last part of Chapter II as something expected of a god; something appears to be forcing her to warn the Evoker in vague words rather than letting her give a better explanation, which clearly frustrates her.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her picture is that of a beautiful woman wearing a dress that doesn't leave much of her upper body or her waist to the imagination. In-Universe, statues of her and historical displays from when she was on earth typically depict her as naked or mostly naked, and figurines of her in a bikini are popular. In a patrol at the museum, the Evoker (after mentally slapping himself for lusting after her) wonders if she actually was like that when she was a human long ago and was just shameless.
- Pals with Jesus: How the relationship between the goddess and her followers is often regarded.
- Shera herself speaks to the Evoker in a vague but casual way during the first Evoking, a trend she keeps up in the few scenes she speaks later on. The Evoker discusses this with Virgina that she is more of an older sister figure as opposed to the mysterious sort Virgina's "Divinity" is.
- A Patrol story explains that the Cathedral is always lit at night because the goddess would be lonely without people around at that time, so people work around the clock to keep her company.
Baisley Moy
Height and Weight: 5'6/139 lbs
Job Title: Captain of Litoris City
The cool-headed captain of Litoris's City Guards. He is often seen with his right-hand man, John.
- Badass Normal: He doesn't seem to have any powers, but in Chapter III, Side Part 6, he misjudged his strength and cut a criminal in half with a sword.
- Berserk Button: Getting called (or hinted) short. He has John give him a few hundred pushups over this.
- Big Brother Instinct: Has this for Asagiri, who he assigned work as an informant for her safety. They still get along well despite their clashing personalities.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: The little guy of this trope to his right-hand man, John, as the brains of the duo. But don't ever call him that.
- Hidden Depths:
- Rosario reveals in a side story that he is a champion of Luna Chess for four years in a row.
- A Patrol has him cook an amazing dinner for John and the Evoker.
- In-Series Nickname: He gets named "Captain Mushroom" by Yannick in one main chapter part, followed by Coco's "Green Mushroom". The Evoker steps in before he could get called "Captain Green Mushroom".
- My Sibling Will Live Through Me: In Chapter IV, Main Part 12, he reveals his younger sister Maryann died during the Great Earthquake, who wished in a moment of weakness that it should have been her brother that's dying instead of her, and immediately apologized for it before telling him to live for both of them. This drove Baisley to help people in his sister's place, but it kept making him think his sister should have lived to do so until he concluded he should be living for himself. He sees this obsession in Asagiri, so he told her this story to dissuade her from needlessly devoting her life to Baisley.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Demonstrates this several times throughout the story.
- During Chapter II, he and John arrive only to find one of Baron Campbell's guards murdered using magic at the ST Squad's mansion, but refrains from immediately assuming it was Deanna's work.
- In Chapter IV, though Deanna has incriminating evidence that marks her as the arsonist on top of unwillingness to divulge her motives for being around the crime scenes, he decides to trust the Evoker's word that she's innocent and investigate further.
John Armichael
Height and Weight: 5'11/168 lbs
Job Title: Lieutenant of Litoris City
Deputy head of the guards of Litoris. A typical type of brawns-over-brains, he takes pride in his muscles and showing them off.
- Big Guy, Little Guy: The brawny big guy to Baisley's little body but big brains. Don't mention the 'little' part to Baisley though.
- Dumb Muscle: Favors taking action more than thinking.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Likely to show off his beloved abs.
Coco
Height and Weight: 4'0/51 lbs
Job Title: None (Child)
A gluttonous little thief hanging around Longoria Avenue. After some run-ins with the Evoker and Virgina, they decide to take her in to live at the mansion.
- Achievements in Ignorance: Satya teleports her and the Evoker into a fantasy world for the Dreamland v1.0 event so that she and the rest of the Dolls could have fun make-believe battles against them, not realizing that Supreme-Supreme and the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins also infiltrated the game disguised as NPC animals (and with actual malicious intentions). Mistaking them for Satya's minions, Coco attacks them and ends up ruining their plans without realizing she was beating up actual villains. This also results in Coco and the Evoker doing copious amounts of Sequence Breaking and dungeon bypassing, completely skipping right past the Dolls' intended "boss battles". She also ends up with an enchanted weapon so powerful that the final boss, Satya (who as a reminder is a demon princess capable of vaporizing legions of angels), immediately backs down because she'd have to go all out in a battle with Coco just to survive (and Satya wasn't willing to do that against a child).
- Barefoot Poverty: She was just a random vagrant dressed in rags upon her introduction, which gets averted after being adopted and Deanna gets new clothes for her.
- Big Eater: Before her life with the ST Squad, she was Too Desperate to Be Picky about her choice of food. Now that she's Happily Adopted, she has free range of whatever she wants to eat.
- Happily Adopted: The Evoker and Virgina decide to take her in to live at the mansion. Her living conditions vastly improve from there, not least of which is the choice of food she gets to have.
- Idiot Hair: Has one long cowlick, and quick to be excited when it comes to food and prone to acting naïve about new things, being a child who lived out in the sticks.
- Mystical Waif: At some point, she wanders out into the night in the middle of nowhere, glowing ethereally and distantly speaking to the Evoker like she became another person, then gaining no recollection of doing any of it afterwards. Later, she faints from a mysterious sickness and starts growing horns and scales. These traits are identified by Isabelle as that of long-extinct dragons.
- Scaled Up: Our homeless girl-turned-cute daughter figure suddenly grows draconic horns and scales when she falls sick, putting up a big point into being a Mystical Waif as well as a question mark about her origins. She turns normal once the sickness passes though.
- The Nose Knows: Her sense of smell is so accurate she noticed that Leila's body at her trial is a fake before other people did, and then track it all the way to the city docks and smell it on Deanna.
Alina
Height and Weight: 5'1/99 lbs
Job Title: Restaurant Owner
Landlady of the restaurant "Alina's Stove", hospitable and welcoming. Just be wary of her eccentric business tactics.
- Bedlah Babe: Invoked by Alina as a way to reel in customers.
- Shout-Out: Her restaurant's Catchphrase, "It's nose bleedin' good." Sounds finger lickin' familiar?
- Stripperific: Lampshaded by the Evoker on their first meeting. Alina explains her 'dress' comes from her homeland, and she wears it to relieve her homesickness—only to reveal it's just a background she made up and that it's convenient in getting her clothes less stained by cooking oil (and to attract customers with eye candy).
- Supreme Chef: Make what you will of her tricky personality, but her restaurant is known to have long queues and the Evoker rates its food highly.
Karchar Lotte
Height and Weight: 5'1/88 lbs
Job Title: Librarian
An enigmatic middlewoman for the Dolls' part-time jobs. She runs a library in Litoris and has extensive knowledge that goes well beyond any average person.
- Hot Librarian: She's quite attractive and busty for one.
- Jack of All Trades: Being a librarian is actually only one of her jobs. It's part of how she gets part-time work for your Dolls.
- Mysterious Informant: Doubles with Mysterious Woman as the story goes on.
- Although she acts as a middlewoman for jobs, she also appears in the intro to the Illusory Limbo without any explanation for how she got there or why she knows about the Limbo.
- During Chapter 2, she helps Carola investigate Baron Campbell and rescues the children he kidnapped without revealing how she did it, having wiped Carola's memory beforehand.
- Older Than They Look: A side story has her meet with an old woman who suffers from dementia and only remembers her memories as a child, so she acts like the little girl who listened to Karchar's stories way back when. The book Karchar reads to the old woman is that of a girl who grew up until she became an old woman, which is a fictional story the old woman wrote and based on herself as a record of her memories; given the decades it would take for an ordinary human girl to live until old age, this greatly implies that Karchar is no ordinary human from having not aged like the old woman did.
- Strange-Syntax Speaker: Speaks exactly like Yoda. She drops it and speaks normally when the situation gets serious though.
Carola
Height and Weight: 5'5/110 lbs
Job Title: Pagan Nun
A good-willed nun living with Father Matisse and Sister Rachel in a deserted abbey. She and her fellow pagans are first met in Chapter 1's main story, "Ghost Case".
- Beauty Equals Goodness: Innocent Blue Eyes, Hair of Gold, and Curves in All the Right Places even under her conservative dress. And yes, she is a Nice Girl on top of that.
- Crisis of Faith: After Rachel is Killed Off for Real, she goes as far as comparing the presence Shera offers compared to their own religion's god.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: She is a devotee of a Catholicism-like religion of which one of its tenets is to be celibate and dresses conservatively, but on her first day in Litoris, she gets egged on by Rachel (and to Matisse's chagrin) into participating in an idol contest wearing Stripperific clothes to raise their low funds. Then when the church is converted into a haunted house attraction, returning customers regard her figure even under her Bedsheet Ghost costume as sexy.
- Secret-Keeper: Carola confronted Rachel over betraying her vow of celibacy to take on a lover, but eventually relented to leaving the relationship be and kept Matisse from knowing about it.
- What Would X Do?: During Chapter II, she has to investigate clues regarding Baron Campbell's involvement with the kidnapped girls. She conjures a voice of what Rachel would do, which escalates into a self-aware Helpful Hallucination that tells Carola to find confidence in herself and letting go of the original Rachel's death.
Matisse
Height and Weight: 5'10/143 lbs
Job Title: Pagan Priest
An old stern priest living with Sisters Rachel and Carola in a deserted abbey. He is the most senior of the three.
- Badass Preacher: During Chapter 1, he matches Isabelle in a brief fight inside the church despite the latter being a Doll, having had the Super-Strength to break a part of the church itself.
- Crisis of Faith: Has one after Rachel gets Killed Off for Real and hearing out Carola's own crisis.
- Master Swordsman: Demonstrates this with a broadsword against an assailant during "Truth" in Chapter II, even seamlessly deflecting Anastasiya's missed magical shot in the middle of battle into said assailant.
Rachel (Spoilers Unmarked)
Height and Weight: 5'2/106 lbs
Job Title: Pagan Nun
An upbeat nun living with Father Matisse and Sister Carola in a deserted abbey. She was close to Carola, to whom she confided her love for a man after a loss of faith.
- The Disembodied: An attempt by Leila at Carola's and Matisse's request to remove her memories of her lover's death fails when Rachel unconsciously realizes what is being done to her and fights against the spell. This results in the creation of a spiritual Rachel hunting down young men and draining them of life, and causing Carola and Matisse to try and find Evokers who could help return her soul to her body.
- Driven to Suicide: She attempted to drown herself when she finds out that her lover died out at sea, only to be saved by Leila who was passing by at the time. After returning to life, she does this again even after being comforted by Deanna, only out of a sense of hope to reunite with her lover this time. Either way, she is Killed Off for Real by the end.
- Forbidden Love: She had a lover, betraying her vows of celibacy, but was otherwise happy continuing the relationship until her lover died at sea.
- Genki Girl: Compared to the stern Matisse and the religious Carola, Rachel is the most outgoing of the trio.
- Helpful Hallucination: Comes back as one inside Carola's head when figuring out what to do in Chapter 2 about investigating the missing girls.
- Killed Off for Real: She is Driven to Suicide the second time after her soul is brought back to her body.
- Posthumous Character: By the time the ST Squad learns of her. See The Disembodied and Driven to Suicide above.
- Walking Spoiler: The entire reason the ST Squad's ghost case came about is because of her being the ghost of the case.
Gretchen Campbell
Height and Weight: 4'2/55 lbs
Job Title: Coco's Friend
A little girl the Evoker and Coco meets in a Chapter 1 side story, "Princess Rescue". She became Coco's playmate ever since then.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: What her introductory chapter is about. She sent out paper airplanes from the building she is in at random she wrote on as a "princess" calling for someone to rescue her, likely as a way to pass the time, but also as a way to find friends. And find them she did in Coco and company.
- Parental Neglect: Such that this is what motivated her to send out the airplanes in the first chapter she features in. After all, Baron Campbell spared no amount of love for his daughter Jenny—and saved none for Gretchen, being born from a fling with a maid.
- Troubled Child: If the paper airplanes containing messages she sent out as a "princess imprisoned in a high tower" during her introductory side story are anything to go by, not to mention the fact that she does an... adult version of playing house with Coco and is Secretly Wealthy, this trope would apply. Chapter 2 goes into her background and reveals this to be a big understatement given the kind of father she has.
- Young and in Charge: Ever since Baron Campbell's death in Chapter 2, Gretchen has suddenly shot up to become the Campbell family's head. Thankfully, she has loyal servants and friends in the Task Squad to support her this time.
William Campbell (Spoilers Unmarked)
Height and Weight: 5'7/220 lbs
Job Title: Baron
Gretchen's father, a nobleman of Litoris who had a hand in a series of kidnappings of young girls in Chapter 2 for the sake of bringing back his dead daughter, Jenny Campbell.
- Asshole Victim: Mind Control or not, you can't say that a guy who neglects his own bastard daughter and kidnaps other people's daughters—even killed—for a grisly ritual is in any way moral. Deanna surely had this in mind when she helps the resurrection along to let an undead Jenny eat William's neck out.
- Came Back Wrong: Deanna helps the ritual along by providing crystal flowers that provide energy in place of the would-be sacrifices. Jenny rose from the coffin all right, but as a mindless zombie that then proceeds to literally tear into her own father.
- Necromantic: His motive in kidnapping other innocent girls was to sacrifice them in a ritual bring his daughter, Jenny, Back from the Dead.
- Parental Neglect: The last parts of the main story's Chapter 2 all but reveals how the baron treated Gretchen as nothing more than a waste of space before seeing her as a tool for Jenny's revival.
- Pummeling the Corpse: What happens to him courtesy of Deanna venting her frustrations over being unable to prevent the entire incident from happening.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A side chapter delves into his past. He used to be a polite and affable person his servants liked, until he grew up, inherited his parents' riches, then became the wicked person he is known as when the heroes meet him. None of the servants know if the cause was from the pent-up frustration of having to live up to his parents' cold expectations as a noble or discovering his greed upon becoming the family head.
- Walking Spoiler: He is the main villain of Chapter 2's plot, being responsible for the kidnappings and only ever met in person late by the eleventh part of the chapter.
Fern Jones
Height and Weight: 4'11/93 lbs
Job Title: Archaeologist
Daughter of the renowned and now retired archaeologist Garry Jones. She somehow ended up getting lost in Litoris while on an expedition in Chapter III.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: She claims to be this, wanting to be like her father when she grows up.
- No Sense of Direction: She apparently got to Litoris by tunneling underground all the way from her hometown, somehow.
Garry Jones
A famous archaeologist known for his bold delves into ruins. He has since retired as of the present day, but his daughter, Fern Jones, is raring to be like her father.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: He's famed for this, having taken on many a daring adventure in ruins throughout Continent Crescent. His backstory reveals this is a deconstruction; Garry was an archaeologist, but wasn't that adventurous given that he still had his daughter Fern to return to, until said daughter one day secretly tagged along with him on a ship, which then shipwrecked and killed her while Garry lived to see her pass. Though what happened afterwards was speculated by Deanna, it is likely that the incident led to him developing the reckless adventuring that made him famous.
Rosie
Height and Weight: 5'2/106 lbs
Job Title: Branch Head of Little Stars Orphanage
The kind, sisterly supervisor of Little Stars Orphanage, having been there for the Evoker and Yannick's childhood when she worked as an intern. She is met in Chapter IV, Part 5 "The Older Sister", watching over some orphans being transferred to the orphanage.
- Cool Big Sis: This is her biggest charm point, enough that when she tells the children to get in line, former orphans Evoker and Yannick do the same unconsciously.
- Establishing Character Moment: In the same story scene she is introduced, an overbearing man named Bear declares that he's the authority of the street they're on and won't let the children go. Rather than let John lay him flat, Rosie stops him and reasons with Bear instead, pointing out that the children are better taken care of by the Order rather than be left scrounging on the streets; it's resolved once Rosie deduces that Bear was playing the bad guy out of concern for the children. Yannick gives praise to this, implying this wasn't the first time she's had to talk things out of sticky situations.
- Vague Age: Her profile states her age is impossible to tell, and in her introductory scene, Yannick says she hasn't changed in appearance since their time at the orphanage. Rosie lightly rebukes him for it, saying that while she can take care of her looks, she can't do anything about the "wrinkles" growing in her mind.
Asagiri
Height and Weight: 5'2/101 lbs
Job Title: Bartender
A bartender managing a nameless bar in Dumpshire, in truth an informant for the City Guard on shady underworld dealings. She is met in Chapter IV, Part 2 "Busy Morning", when the Evoker is searching for Coco.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: In Chapter IV, Part 3, she observes Coco stuff her mouth somehow without her small frame changing, and points out that no one seems to question how she's doing any of this, let alone her background. She speculates whether the girl has some kind of passive suggestion magic to keep people from looking too much (and given that Deanna has been casting protective spells on Coco, Asagiri isn't far from the truth).
- Secret-Keeper: Being a bartender is bound to lead to Loose Lips. This makes it helpful for her informant work, though it also makes her trusted amongst her customers that she continues to keep those secrets tight.
- Supreme Chef: She can make desserts and a variety of cocktails, such that she can tailor the recipes to suit the individual.
Others Met on Patrol
Boy and Maidservant
A pair of a young noble boy and his maidservant, seen in the Terrace.
- The Gadfly: The maidservant never fails to prod her own master around, acting much like a doting older sister or a kindly neighbor in practice.
- Marry the Nanny: In one patrol, when the maidservant jokingly wonders about marrying her daughter to her young master and blackmailing him for riches, the boy asks if he couldn't just marry her instead. Though she laughs it off, she doesn't seem opposed to the idea.
Madam Bazaar
A woman seen during Litoris patrols, dressed in a pink bear mascot costume that often says "Ah la ah la~". She is often found in Litoris's Trade District handing out balloons.
Scarlet Girl
A girl who is frequently seen during patrols, sporting blonde hair and wears a blood-red gown. Much about her remains unexplained, let alone her familiarity with the Evoker.
The Witches
Witches in general
- Burn the Witch!: What the Templar Order does to execute Witches in public. Leila herself is nearly subjected to one, but created a dummy in her place instead.
- Greater-Scope Villain: Though they don't seem to have a united organization to oppose in the present, it was a group of Witches who caused the Great Earthquake and opened portals to Graveland, being the direct reason our heroes forge into other worlds while ensuring another plot like the earthquake doesn't happen again.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: With the Templar Order hunting them, they have to keep their heads down to survive. The first two Witches met in the main storyline show how they could have done it: first, they look no different from the average human, and it could be surmised that other Witches are the same in appearance, and second, they could use magic in public while hiding their secret identity by claiming they are a Sorceror since both professions use the same magic. Deanna is living proof of this.
- Horned Humanoid: In Chapter I, Side Part 5, the Evoker meets Leila and, taking her for a kid roleplaying as a Witch, teases her about not having horns from eating children like stories say; Leila retorts that they only have them from "midlife crises" and not diets. This turns out to be a hint for why Coco grows horns and its connection to Isabelle explaining that dragons taught Witches magic.
- Wicked Witch: What all citizens and the world at large have grown to believe. Children are often told scary stories of Witches, children's games have Witches play in antagonistic roles, and occurrences that are magical in nature or not immediately explainable usually have the average citizen blaming it on a Witch.
Leila
Leila before the reveal
Height and Weight: 5'1/101lbs
Job Title: Witch
A close friend of Deanna who escaped from an execution.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Aside from the fact that she's the one that flipped the train the Evoker and his friends were in during the prologue, she is first met in person in a side story that shows her first meeting with the Evoker days after the mentioned incident. This encounter becomes a Forgotten First Meeting for the Evoker as Leila wipes his memory of her soon after.
- Genki Girl: She's quite the talker for someone being hunted by the Order, not even when she's essentially being told to shove off by Deanna or when the Evoker has to save her from a cat of all things.
- Killed Off for Real: Avoided burning at the stake once in Chapter 1, but she ends up actually dying later on in the story. It sent Deanna into a Despair Event Horizon as she couldn't grieve properly.
Leila's Friend
Deanna, a Witch hiding her identity as one who joined the Evoker's ST Squad. See her profile under 'Special Task Squad'.
Baron Campbell's Witch (Spoilers for Chapter II)
A Witch working for Baron Campbell behind the child kidnappings, doing it to seek "a new identity". In the climax of Chapter II however, she was stopped by Yannick and exploded herself to avoid capture.
The events of Chapter IV reveal that the Witch is actually Yotsuyu, Asagiri's younger twin sister, whose soul ended up in the Monsta Play of Graveland as the theater monster named "Amon". See here for her profile.
