[[folder:Main Characters]]
!!April Ryan
[[quoteright:245:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aprilryan_4439.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:245:Rebel. Emissary. Chosen.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Sarah Hamilton

The main character of the original game, April was an [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary College Student]] living in Stark when she found herself thrust in an adventure in which she was destined to save both her world and Arcadia, the world of magic, from the machinations of Jacob [=McAllen=] and his followers, the Vanguard, using her powers as a Shifter, which allowed her to travel between the worlds. Her journey came to an unexpected end and ten years later, by the events of ''Dreamfall'', she has become a jaded and bitter woman fighting a guerrilla war against the occupying Azadi Empire in Arcadia.

* ActionGirl: She becomes a skilled spearwoman in ''Dreamfall''.
* ActionSurvivor: In the first game, oh so much.
* BrokenBird: She's clearly depressed in ''Dreamfall''
* BroughtDownToNormal: She loses her Shifting powers between ''TLJ'' and ''Dreamfall'', [[spoiler:though the White Kin explains that she does still have her powers, but her fear and anxiety about returning to Stark prevents her from using them]].
* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit in the first game.
* CasualDangerDialog: She in particular takes a lot of her perils with a side of wisecracking.
* TheCameo: In Book 5 of Chapters, Zoë encounters in echo of her in Storytime.
* CerebusRetcon: When Zoë is shown a photo of April and her friends in ''Dreamfall'', April looks considerably more [[PerkyGoth "dark"]] then in ''TLJ''. Understandable, though, since using a picture more resembling the original "colorful" atmosphere wouldn't fit the [[TechnologyMarchesOn new]] [[DarkerAndEdgier graphic rendering]].
* TheChosenOne: Subverted in that she [[spoiler:assumes that she has been chosen to be the next Guardian of the Balance, but in fact she is only supposed to ''find'' the Guardian and shepherd him to his destiny.]] Still, there are hints in the promotional material of ''Dreamfall'' that she is yet to receive her fair chunk of destiny. She still gets more than her fair share of being Chosen, though. She accumulates prophecies like dust as the original game goes on - She's the Kan-ang-la, April bandu-embata, the Windbringer, the Waterstiller...it goes on. At one point, she asks a guard something like "Don't you have a prophecy that I can fulfill? Because that's how this thing usually goes." And, just for the record: the encounter when she says that results in her being named "a wave" in addition to the messianic titles she gain before, which means she'll end up being very important to the future of Arcadia.
** ''Chapters'' finally implies that one of her major roles was [[spoiler: ''to die'' so that she could be reborn as Saga who would then save the Universe with her shifting powers.]]
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Played with in ''Dreamfall''. She'll help out Zoë because Zoë literally has no one else. But she wants no part in what Zoë has planned.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snarks at everything
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:In ''Chapters'', her ghost tells both Zoë and Kian that her death freed her by allowing her to be reborn. Evidently, April considered reincarnation to be preferable to living without a purpose.]]
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: [[spoiler:he dies highly anti-climatically in ''Dreamfall''--by being stabbed by a random Azadi grunt. Good thing she reincarnates almost immediately.]]
* FanService: She's seen in her underwear a few times in ''The Longest Journey''.
* GenreSavvy: In the original game. Even when she displays occasional {{Genre Blind}}ness, like in the encounter with the Gribbler, she lampshades it a lot later.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:The Draic-Kin female hinted that April might in fact be one. Since her mother turns out to be a dragon...]]
%% * TheHerosJourney
* IHaveManyNames: Accumulates a new title with every culture she aids.
-->'''April:''' I'm the Windbringer. I'm the Waterstiller. I'm April Bandu-embata of the Banda, and the Venar Kan-ang-la. I'm a shifter. I will someday become the thirteenth Guardian, protector of the Balance. And I'm April Ryan.
* JadeColoredGlasses: Goes from an ultimately idealistic if insecure world savior in the first game to a grumpy cynic who doesn't want to get involved with the Balance or saving the world business ever again in ''Dreamfall''.
* KleptomaniacHero: As per standard for an AdventureGame protagonist.
* RetiredBadass: A weird variation: While April is more "badass" in the mainstream sense of the word in ''Dreamfall'' than she was in ''TLJ'', she is now the RebelLeader kind of badass, as opposed to SaveTheWorld kind of badass, which she was in the previous game and which she never wants ever to be again.
* [[ThatManIsDead That Girl Is Dead]]: The years after the first game have not been kind to April. Come the second game, she's gone from being an {{Adorkable}} AllLovingHero to a severely depressed DeathSeeker. Many try to snap her out of it by reminding her of what a great person she used to be, but sadly April is too far lost in her own misery to listen, repeatedly claiming to not even remember who that person was.
* TookALevelInBadass: From unlikely hero to spear-wielding rebel leader in ''Dreamfall''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed. An AllLovingHero in the first game, the April we meet in the second game is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: In ''Dreamfall'', April has lost her ability to shift, so she's stranded in Arcadia.
* TrueCompanions: April and her two best friends Charlie and Emma, although they can't follow her on her journey and as of the beginning of Dreamfall, [[spoiler:they haven't heard from her for 10 years. [[TearJerker They are still searching for her, though,]] at least, Emma does. Charlie has given up on ever finding her ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic along with his dream of being a dancer]]). He does, however, go out of his way to help ''Zoe'' find her.]]
** Crow becomes one through the first game. While he switches between her and Zoe in Dreamfall (mostly because he understandibly thinks WhatTheHellHero), he re-joins her [[spoiler: upon his death in the Storytime]]. Also symbolically by [[spoiler: a reborn Crow being together until the end with the April reborn as Saga]].
* WhatTheHellHero: On the receiving end of this throughout the second game. Her suicidal acts of resistance against the Azadi as well as her refusal to help Zoe get called out numerous times by her friends.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: She loses her ability to shift in ''Dreamfall'', which strands her in Arcadia. [[spoiler:According to the White Dragon, April still can shift, but her fear of returning home after endangering all of her friends in the previous game is preventing her from doing so.]]

!!Crow
->'''Voiced by:''' Roger Raines

April's plucky avian sidekick whom she saved from a greedy con-man. He tends to be rather scatterbrained, but he considers April a true friend and proves to be instrumental in her quest.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: He's always up for being an adventure. When [[spoiler: Zoe disappears at the end of Book 4 in ''Chapters'', he decides he'll be Kian's sidekick.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: As a bird, he gets distracted rather easily.
* CleverCrows: Technically not a crow (since he comes from another world) but looks like one and is named Crow [[spoiler:after a comic book hero of her childhood named Crowboy]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much every other thing he says is a sarcastic quip.
* DubNameChange: His name was rendered "Kruk" in the Polish version of the game and, while it does seem to look kind of similar to the English name, is in fact the name of another popular bird, the raven. The proper Polish translation of the term "Crow" would in fact be "Wrona", which is feminine (and thus not really that fitting a male character) and just happens to be possibly one of the last names in the language you would ever associate with a positive character. However, in the [[WordOfGod Norwegian version of the game]] his name is "Ravn", which does mean raven. His in-game model also more closely resembles a raven than a crow. The reason for the change to "Crow" in the English translation could be that "Raven" sounds a little too sophisticated for him, whereas "Crow" falls in nicely with "crude" and "crass", and works better as a nickname.
* HeadPet: At one point in ''Chapters'' he sits on Zoë's head.
* HeroicBSOD: Has a minor one when he learns of [[spoiler: April's death]]. Has another small one when he remembers that [[spoiler: he got killed]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sarcastic, slightly irritating and also a true friend to April.
* OhNoNotAgain: At the end of [[spoiler:Book 4 of ''Chapters'']], he notices that he has once again [[spoiler:been left to his own devices in a strange and unfamiliar location by an "inscrutable woman with otherworldly powers."]]
* MetaGuy: He often [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Leans On The Fourth Wall]], coming with jabs both towards the game's plots as well as typical adventure game tropes.
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler: Brian cruelly offs him with this. He gets better though.]]
* NonHumanSidekick: He is, of course, a bird. And he's tagged along with April, Zoe, and Kian. [[spoiler: A junior version of Crow tags along with Saga, Kian, and perhaps Na'ane in Sadir.]]
* NonIndicativeName: He's not actually a Crow (and gets more than a little upset when April tells him what "Crows" are known for in her world). He was named by April after her favourite childhood cartoon - "Crowboy".
* PluckyComicRelief: In all games. He doesn't appear until near the end of the game in ''Dreamfall'', though, so his levity is rather overdue after a game full of being harassed, arrested, and attacked. He's also somewhat less "plucky" than most examples, because it's quite easy to hurt his feelings; probably because his only friend in the world (viz. April) tends to treat him like a tool, and a somewhat dim one at that. Zoë goes a long way towards endearing herself to him by treating him with considerably more respect-an optional conversation with him in Dreamfall is just a conversation for the sake of conversation.
* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: After working for so long with April and Zoe who use puzzles, levers, and other methods to solve puzzles, he's quite satisfied to watch Kian just break down a door by kicking it.
* WhatTheHellHero: Chews out April for abandoning Zoe, and in fact leaves her to go help Zoe out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stark]]

!!Cortez a.k.a. Mannie Chavez a.k.a. [[spoiler:the Red Kin]]
->''Voiced by:''' Louis Aguirre

A mysterious old man that tended to hang outside April's boarding house, Cortez at first seemed akin to a crazy hobo. But as the story unfolds Cortez is shown to be much more than that and winds up being April's mentor in her quest to restore the Balance.

* CoolOldGuy: He's a very funny and friendly old man. [[spoiler:What with being a dragon in human form]].
* [[ObfuscatingStupidity Obfuscating Goofiness]]: He's way more competent than he would like you to believe.
* TheMentor: He teaches April how to shift. [[spoiler:And he dies when he has nothing more to teach her.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:His last act is to pull [=McAllen=] off the skyscraper they were dueling on.]]
* YouCantFightFate: Playing Dreamfall and Chapters reveals him as suffering this. He [[spoiler: saved Brian Westhouse from freezing to death, thus allowing him to reach the monastery and get transported to the Storytime, leading to him being possessed by the Undreaming and almost causing the end of the world. All because this was how the future was meant to be, with Cortez even saying as much.]]

!!Father Raul
->'''Voiced by:''' Frank Rivers

A friend of Cortez, Father Raul looks out for his congregation at the Hope Street Cathedral in the slums of Newport.

* GoodShepherd: He's a compassionate priest who ministers to a highly impoverished district. [[spoiler:And as a minstrum of the Balance, Raul works to protect Stark as a whole.]]

!!Charlie
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Anthony Henry (''The Longest Journey''), Daryl Alan Reed (''Dreamfall'')

One of April's best friends.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: He is in love with April and April is the only one who doesn't notice.
* NiceGuy: He's incredibly kind. He's willing to help both April and Zoë without question.
%% * TrueCompanions: With April and Emma.

!!Emma de Vrijer
->'''Voiced by:'' Julia Murney

April's best female friend and a student at the Venice Academy Of Arts like her.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: But several characters in the game are of the opinion that although she's a terrible flirt, she's clever and can take care of herself.
* TheCameo: She has a gallery in Propast during ''Chapters'', although we never get to see her.
* MeaningfulName: de Vrijer is Dutch for "the lover".
* OnlyOneName: Subverted. In ''TLJ'', she is just Emma, but ''Dreamfall'' reveals her family name.
%% * PluckyGirl
* ShipperOnDeck: She wants April to get together with Charlie.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:She hasn't heard from her best friend in ten years, and still spends a lot of the money from her career as an artist on searching for her.]]


!!Zack Lee
->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Gallop

April's rude neighbor that lives across from her in the Border House.

* CasanovaWannabe: He constantly tries to convince April to go on a date with him, and very obviously consider himself God's gift to women.
* JerkAss: His introduction scene already has him being extremely obnoxious, then his second appearance is him essentially blackmailing April into going on a date with him. Finally, he gets extremely vindictive when April either does not show up for their date and makes "look stupid in front of his friends", or knees him in the groin during their date for groping her.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:It is obvious that he sincerely regrets selling April and the others out to the Vanguard, but he is shot and killed before he can do anything to make up for it.]]

!!Frank Minelli
->'''Voiced by:''' Madison Arnold

A hapless detective whose life April tended to inadvertently ruin on her quest to save the Balance.

* FatSlob: He is quite tubby and sloppy dressed.
* TheChewToy: April encounters him early on in chapter 2. She ends up [[spoiler:poisoning him with toxic waste, stealing his eye, then stealing his identity, which later results in his being tortured for information he doesn't actually have]]. There's no indication that he deserves any of this.

!!Burns Flipper
->'''Voiced by:''' Andrew Donnelly

An obnoxious, but intelligent and experienced hacker and tech specialist. Flipper aided April in trying to get inside Jacob [=McAllen's=] headquarters.

* ClusterFBomb: To be fair, most other characters are not afraid to use strong language when crap hits the fan.
* FriendInTheBlackMarket: He's April's go to guy to get illegal goods on Stark.
* HackerCave: His hideout is filled with computer technology.
* TheInformer: The Flipper, providing information for money.
* InsufferableGenius: Total prat. ''Phenomenal'' hacker.
-->'''Flipper''': And the world keeps going 'round and 'round cause ''the Flipper's on board!''
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Though the "traitor" part is somewhat sympathetic as Flipper was offered what can only be considered a borderline MortonsFork choice by the Vanguard. They offered to restore his legs if he would rat out April and made it clear that they would kill him if he refused. When Flipper accepts the offer, the Vanguard fatally shoot him anyway.]]
* SirSwearsalot: The Flipper can't seem to voice a single sentence without swearing.
* TechnoWizard: Downplayed. He knows his way around most computers and their security systems, but he mentions that he sometimes have to call in outside help to do certain things.

!!Gordon Halloway
->'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Merritt

Jacob [=McAllen's=] right-hand man, Gordon is an emotionless and cruel man that the Vanguard sought to make the new Guardian.

* TheAtoner: After [[spoiler:his rational and magical selves were joined by April and he decides to be the Thirteenth Guardian to atone for his crimes.]]
* TheChosenOne: He was the original thirteenth Guardian, but the Vanguard's experiments prevent him from fulfilling his destiny. [[spoiler:Once April restores Gordon's soul, he is free to become the Guardian he was meant to be.]]
* ContemplativeBoss: [=McAllen=] assumes this pose when April meets him in his office.
* CreepyMonotone: Speaks in a monotone due to [[spoiler: having his soul separated from him, manifesting as the Chaos Vortex in Arcadia.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: He once killed a man for cutting in line in front of him.
* TheDragon: He's [=McAllen=] chief enforcer.
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:He outlives [=McAllen=] ]]
* TheHeavy: He may answer to [=McAllen=], but Gordon and his Chaos Vortex half are the most prominent antagonists in Stark and Arcadia respectively.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Gordon's soul was torn from him and has taken the form of the Chaos Vortex in Arcadia.]]
* TheSoulless: [[spoiler:The Vanguard's experiments cast Gordon's soul to Arcadia.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:While Gordon himself can hardly be described as "nice", and is quite an opponent to reckon with, the Chaos Vortex is definitely the more dangerous of the two]].

!!Jacob [=McAllen=]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ralph Byers

The sinister and charismatic leader the Vanguard, who has risen to considerable power and wealth as the head of the popular new age religion, the Church of Voltec, a front for the Vanguard's activities in Stark.

* BigBad: He's the main villain of the first game.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:He makes no effort to stop April from assembling the Disc so because it's easier than finding the Disc himself.]]
* DarkMessiah: He saw himself as one, being a charismatic religious leader that sought to bring back the powers of both worlds to humanity.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Going from being one of the four Draic Kin that originally created the balance, to wanting to destroy it.]]
* LargeHam: Gets this way near the end of the first game.
-->'''[[spoiler:Cortez]]''': "Listen to yourself. 'Blood of my blood, kin to my kin.' [[LampshadeHanging Doesn't it ever bother you that you sound like a badly written play?]]"
* LightIsNotGood: He is referred to as "The White Cardinal".
* SinisterMinister: He's officially a priest.
* TakeOverTheWorld: [[spoiler:[=McAllen=]'s goal is to install Gordon as the thirteenth Guardian and use him to rule the reunified world.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Arcadia]]

!!White Mother
->Voiced by: Nicole Orth-Pallavincini

The original White Draic'Kin, one of the four that created the two worlds ages ago. She first appears in a dream of April's early on the game, her importance is not fully realized until much later.

%% * OurDragonsAreDifferent
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:She's actually April's biological mother and may be Zoe and Faith's as well.]]

!!The Old God

->Voiced by: Ron Foster

The original Blue Draic'Kin. He sleeps at the bottom of the sea and is worshipped by the Alatien and Maerum as a god.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:The White Kin reveals that someone killed the Blue Kin shortly before ''Dreamfall''.]]


!!Brian Westhouse
->'''Voiced by:''' Ralph Byers

Like April, Brian is a denizen of Stark that has journeyed to Arcadia, but unlike April he is not a Shifter so he can't return home. In the original game he lived in his seaside home in Marcuria where he languished his days away with drink. After aiding April on her quest, Brian decided to turn his life around and leave Marcuria to explore the rest of Arcadia.

* TheAlcoholic: Although he has recovered by the time of ''Dreamfall''. [[spoiler:''Chapters'' implies that his drinking was really an attempt to block out the voice of the Undreaming which was always whispering to him.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:According to Gabriel, Westhouse vanished in a flash of light along with Helena after Zoë took the Undreaming from him. Westhouse's final fate is never revealed.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of the ''Dreamfall'' StoryArc. He's the Prophet, and the entire reason the plot exists.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: His role in ''Dreamfall'' would seem to indicate that he's much more important than it initially seemed.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Is he ever. He actually manages to outwit an EldritchAbomination.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:This is what the Undreaming did to him in the prologue of Dreamfall, and it's fully realized in Book 5. He gets unpossessed when a piece of the soulstone is given to Klacks, but after Kian kills Klacks, it goes back to Westhouse.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The citizens of Marcuria knows him only as "The Rolling Man" due to the bike rides around on.
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:He tried to harness the power of the Undreaming, only to realize it was using him instead. To prevent this, he gave Klacks a shard of the soulstone, letting the Undreaming possess him instead.]]
* NotBrainwashed: [[spoiler:Zoë is horrified to learn that Westhouse orchestrated the Azadi's genocide of the magical races independent of the Undreaming.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: After being a minor NPC in ''The Longest Journey'', he becomes the player character in the prologue of ''Dreamfall''.
* TheresNoPlaceLikeHome: He wants, more than anything, to get back to Stark. [[spoiler: It's hinted he used the Undreaming for this purpose.]]
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:As the Prophet, Westhouse doesn't wear glasses.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:He was clearly unprepared for when the Undreaming attacks him. After this happens, though, he tries to use it for his own purposes.]]
* UsingYouAllAlong: [[spoiler:He approaches Helena Chang and the Azadi with promises to help them remake the world in their image. In reality, Westhouse serves no one but himself.]]
* WalkingTheEarth: What he did in Stark before his transfer to Arcadia, but despairing at the thought of being TrappedInAnotherWorld, he settled down in Marcuria for several years. When the Tyren took the city, his wanderlust returned, however, seemingly for good this time.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He claims that his goal is to create a better world, but the specifics are never elaborated on.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Pulls this on [[spoiler: Helena Chang, although Zoe stops him before he can kill her.]]

!!Roper Klacks
->'''Voiced by:''' Ralph Byers

An evil alchemist who has stolen the wind and has a habit of turning people who gets too close to his floating castle into stone.

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:In ''Dreamfall'' he says that he has renounced his wizard ways due to magic being outlawed by the Azadi. ''Chapters'', however, implies that he has genuinely lost his powers and is greatly frustrated by it. But he gets it back in the intergenum between ''Dreamfall'' and ''Chapters'' thanks to Brian Westhouse giving him a piece of the soulstone.]]
* CerebusRetcon: [[spoiler:''Chapters'' reveals that his oafish mannerisms in ''Dreamfall'' were ObfuscatingStupidity to make April and the Azadi view him as completely harmless.]]
* EvilSorcerer: A very classic example of the trope. It is even lampshaded.
* EvilIsHammy: April's reaction on hearing Klacks' EvilLaugh:
-->'''April:''' Who was that? Wait, don't tell me, evil wizard. They all sound like ''Theatre/RichardIII'' on crack to me.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:During the gap between ''The Longest Journey'' and ''Dreamfall'' he has renounced his evil ways and has become a keeper of a magic shop instead. ''Chapters'' on the hand implies that he has plenty of pent-up rage in him and would gladly wreck havoc upon the world again if it weren't for his missing powers. Which Brian Westhouse did, and he turns back to evil.]]
* HerCodenameWasMarySue: The plot of his finger puppet play in ''Chapters'' is an obvious skewed re-telling of his encounter with April, casting himself as the heroic wizard, who is both "kind" and "handsome", and April as the "evil sorceress" who messed everything up for him.
* HiddenDepths: Played For Laughs. In addition to being a an evil alchemist, he was the neighborhood hopscotch master and especially talented at spelling bees as a child, during his time at Alchemist's Academy he was a long-standing member of the Tic-tac-toe Club, and he has a secret passion for cooking, meaning that he can handily beat April at all the outlandish contests she challenges him to.
%% * LaughingMad
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Klacks evidently is several centuries old, judging from how [[spoiler:he once was the Necromancer King]], but everyone assumes he is just a normal old man.

!!Abnaxus of the Venar
->'''Voiced by:''' Jeff Meller (''The Longest Journey''), Tim Bentinck (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

The Venar ambassador to Ayrede. While the Venar usually exist out of time, Abnaxus remains in the present so he can serve his people.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Remaining in the present for too long is fatal for the Venar. Abnaxus does this anyway so he can help Zoë find Lux and save the Dream.]]
* MrExposition: He gives both April and Zoë vital exposition for their journeys.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Abnaxus speaks using random tenses because the concept of time is foreign to him.

!!Benrime Salmin
->'''Voiced by:''' Cordis Heard

The owner of the Journeyman Inn. Benrime helps both April and Zoë on their journeys.

* AscendedExtra: She has a much larger role in ''Dreamfall'' than she did in ''The Longest Journey''.

[[folder:Player Characters]]
!!Zoë Maya Castillo
[[quoteright:237:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdf_4581.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:237:Seeker. Nomad. Dreamer.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ellie Conrad-Leigh (''Dreamfall''), Charlotte Ritchie (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

The main character of ''Dreamfall'', Zoë is a college dropout living with her father and is DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife. Zoë gets roped into Stark/Arcadia problems when she begins looking for her ex-boyfriend, who was investigating [=WATICorp=]'s Project Alchera.

* ActionSurvivor: Although she can throw a punch, she is no match for armed enemies (unlike April in ''Dreamfall'', for instance).
* {{Amnesiac Hero}}ine. Downplayed in ''Chapters''. Zoë remembers most of her life--except what happened between [[spoiler:her first usage of a Dreamer console and her waking up from the coma]]. Which is basically most of ''Dreamfall''.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: While official sources have been far from consistent on this regard, Zoë is generally a lighter-skinned example of the trope. With ''Dreamfall Chapters'', Ragnar Tørnquist revealed that she is specifically a quarter Chinese, [[http://redthreadgames.com/forum/topic/3178-some-issues-with-chapters-–-portrayal-of-east-asians-and-villains/?p=132302 "mixed with Argentinian, Indian and English blood."]]
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Zoe was created by Helena and Gabriel to reinvent reality through dreams, along with eight other children, like Hanna and Faith.]]
* AstralProjection: She has the power to project herself into other realms while dreaming. Unlike normal uses of this trope, Zoë's projected self is every bit as real as she is, able to interact with the world around her and be perceived by those around her. [[spoiler:In ''Chapters'', Zoë is eventually revealed to have never woken up from her coma. Until she wakes up, you are playing as her projection regardless of whether she is in Stark or Arcadia.]]
* BaldWomen: In Book 5, due to [[spoiler: being part of a continuing experiment by Jiva.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Her tank top outfit in ''Dreamfall''. A fairly modest version.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted in ''Chapters''. In Book 3, [[spoiler:she has a large and very visible skin graft after getting severely burned in an explosion.]]
* DreamWalker[=/=]DreamWeaver: While trapped in Storytime in ''Chapters'', Zoë learns to enter other people's dreams and to manipulate them--and extension of her Dreamer powers that she demonstrated in the original ''Dreamfall''.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Enu will blurt out that Zoë's pretty upon meeting her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In ''Chapters'', she sports a very different hairdo (a [[PrimAndProperBun loose bun]] with curly sidebangs) than when she was first introduced. This is used to contrast her old self ([[spoiler:which she encounters in Storytime]]) and her new one.
* FanService: Running around in her underwear in ''Dreamfall'', and a few scenes of the same in ''Chapters''.
* FlawedPrototype: [[spoiler: Double subverted. It was believed that Zoe was one of these, as she seemed to be a normal girl rather than having the RealityWarper powers she was supposed to have been created with. As it turns out, she actually does have them, they triggered much later in life.]]
* GivenNameReveal: Zoë's middle name is first revealed by her hospital records in ''Chapters''.
%%* TheHerosJourney
* HurtingHero: In ''Chapters'', Zoe's gone through an awful lot, and she's been very stressed. [[spoiler: She has lost her best friend Olivia and her ImpliedLoveInterest Damien in the interregnum between games, her relationship with Reza is rocky, and she's out of contact with her dad. Later, her new friend Nela suicide bombs an EYE checkpoint]].
* IJustWantToBeNormal: She expresses this wish at one point in ''Chapters''.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: While in Dreamtime, she is able to manipulate the world around it in certain ways. Near the end, reality starts to fall apart, giving her this power in the real world.
* IWillFindYou: Her journey in ''Dreamfall'' starts with her search for Reza, her best friend and ex-boyfriend.
* MeaningfulName: Her last name means "castle" in Spanish. WordOfGod is that this name was chosen for a reason.
* MissingMom:[[spoiler: Helena Chang.]]
* PowerTattoo: Coupled with PowerGlows. Her Dreamer powers emerge while she is in the Storytime and manifest themselves as tattoos (on her forehead and her arms) that glow whenever she uses them. At the end of Book 4 and in Book 5 in ''Chapters'', she gets a bigger one when she [[spoiler: did a FusionDance with Lux.]]
* PrettyInMink: Has a fur-trimmed coat when she is in Arcadia, and when she goes to Russia in Stark.
* SpoiledSweet: Even though by the beginning of the game she is little more than a NEET[[note]]'''N'''ot Currently Engaged in '''E'''ducation, '''E'''mployment or '''T'''raining; American name for hikikomori[[/note]] and a freeloader with a really rich daddy, she is very brave, smart, kind and helpful.
* StayWithMeUntilIDie: [[spoiler:She helps Faith pass on by playing with Faith until Faith finally has the courage to sleep forever.]]
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Specifically, in Storytime for half a year at the start of ''Chapters''.

!!April Ryan
See Characters.TheLongestJourney.

!!Kian Alvane
[[quoteright:241:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fdfd_3899.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:241:Soldier. Apostle. Assassin.]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Gavin O'Connor (''Dreamfall''), Nicholas Boulton (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

The second new playable character in ''Dreamfall''. Kian is an assassin and missionary from Azadi, sent to Marcuria to hunt down "The Scorpion". Kian is deeply religious man, but is not blind in his zealotry, unlike his compatriots.

* {{Adorkable}}: Show quite a bit of this side in ''Chapters'' between his flimsy grasp on subtlety in conservations, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood his love for yams]], getting nostalgic about apple bobbing, and reading children's stories in secret.
* ArrowCatch: Can do one to save Enu and Likho in Book Two of ''Chapters''. Alternatively, you can do nothing and Likho will do the catching.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He starts out as an Apostle, and has a lot of power, particularly for a male in a matriarchy. Later, when he joins the Resistance, they defer to him almost immediately. [[spoiler: Even moreso in the epilogue, as he becomes The Bloodless King.]]
* BaldOfAwesome: He shaves his head, although he's no less awesome when he grows his hair out.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He develops this towards Bip, as the boy [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds him of himself as a child]].
* BloodMagic: He escapes Friar's Keep through a blood sacrifice.
* CelibateHero: As an Apostle, he's supposed to be celebate.
* ChickMagnet: In ''Chapters'', Enu babbles incoherently around him, calling him gorgeous, and Anna is interested, too.
* ChurchMilitant: He was part of a religious order that converted people... by killing them. The rationale being, that they might be reincarnated as believers. [[spoiler:And he still remains faithful after he stops believing in the war against the Northlands. His rationale is that whatever his compatriots are trying to accomplish in Marcuria, it has nothing to do with their religion.]]
* DeathSeeker: He's content with death when ''Chapters'' rolls around. A prison riot brings him to his senses.
* FacialMarkings: More pronounced in ''Chapters'' but he has a number of tattoos on his face. They're to signify his rank of Apostle.
* GeniusBruiser: While he's first and foremost a fighter, he's also a masterful tactician and thinks very quickly on his feet.
* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler: At the end of the ''Chapters'', he has become the Bloodless King, much beloved by his people.]]
* HappilyAdopted: He was so by Mother Utana. [[spoiler: He does the same for Saga, and it's clear from her tone that she loved him dearly.]]
* IOweYouMyLife: He gets this from [[spoiler: Na'ane, if he kept her secret. She'll even travel with him to Sadir and serve him when he is the Bloodless King.]]
* TheKirk: Becomes this in ''Chapters'' to Enu's [[TheSpock Spock]] and Likho's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]].
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Optional, but he can have these relationships with both Enu and Na'ane depending on character choice.
* MasterSwordsman: To the point where [[spoiler: someone will sacrifice his life for blood magic to get him to safety, solely because he'd be a better swordsman.]]
* MrFanservice: Introduced to us with a ShirtlessScene, and spends his first chapter and a part of the second shirtless in ''Chapters''.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong:
** [[spoiler: Begins to question his empire's crusade towards the end of ''Dreamfall''.]]
** [[spoiler:By ''Dreamfall Chapters'' he does, in his own words, no longer believe that whatever the Azadi is doing in Marcuria is "the divine will of the Goddess."]]
* PetTheDog: When he interviews Zoë in Friar's Keep, he not only believes her story, he tries to get her freed.
* PrecisionFStrike: "He's fucking a magical?"
* StraightGay: Discussed with either Likho or Enu early in Book 3 of ''Chapters'' (only hinted at in the latter conversation while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4NdY5wNk4o unequivocally discussed in the former]]), and confirmed by WordOfGay outside of the game. Book 5 has him outright state this to Crow.
* StreetUrchin: During his escape from Friar's Keep in ''Chapters'', he mentions that he grew up on the streets of Sadir--that's apparently where he acquired the skills needed to pick locks with ''arrows''.
%%* SuperSoldier: He and, by projection, other Azadi Apostles.
* SympatheticPOV: In ''Dreamfall'', playing as him allows the Azadi Empire to display some shades of gray, and helps April's goals seem considerably less sympathetic than they would have if she'd been the sole protagonist. One of the best moments of the game occurs when the two have a conversation and player control keeps shifting from one to the other, showing the range of his/her dialogue options and allowing the player to steer the character's opinion of the other.
%% * TallDarkAndHandsome
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Kian's conflict in ''Dreamfall'' is whether to obey his orders despite his increasing realization that the Azadi are in the wrong or to do what he knows is right at the cost of defying the religion he has dedicated his life to. He ultimately chooses Good.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves Yams.
* VillainProtagonist: In ''Dreamfall'', Kian works for the villainous Azadi to crush the heroic rebellion.

->'''Voiced by:''' Patrick Fitzsymons

Zoë's father.

->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Ford-Fitzgerald (''Dreamfall''), Leo Staar (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

Zoë's ex-boyfriend and an investigative journalist.

* AmicableExes: Reza and Zoë still get along despite breaking up. They're back together in ''Chapters'', but things are a bit rough between them. It's up to the player to either work on it or make it even worse.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:[=WATICorp=] releases him after brainwashing him so they can have an agent near Zoë. The specifics of his brainwashing are never made clear, but it's presumably why he's so opposed to Zoë acting against WATI. Fortunately, he gets deprogrammed once WATI's crimes are exposed.]]
* IntrepidReporter: Working for "The Hand That Bites", which focuses on exposing corporate and government oppression of rights. In ''Chapters'' they've changed their name to "The Hand that Feeds" but it's still the same paper.

* NotHimself: [[spoiler:Whatever happened during his disappearance, Zoë notices that something is seriously wrong about him the first she sees him after his reappearance, and although she starts to trust him again somewhat during her time in the coma, she can't shake off a strange GutFeeling that something is just off. It even carries over on a more subconscious level after she awakens from the coma. It's because [=WATIcorp=] brainwashed him. It wears off in the epilogue]].
* RealMenCook: In ''Chapters'' he's good with making risotto. Zoë points out that, although Europolis has a number of great food vendors, Reza is still an excellent cook.

!!Olivia [=DeMarco=]
->'''Voiced by:''' Mary Healy

Zoë best friend. Liv is a hacker who owns and operates Alien the Cat, a technology store in Casablanca.

* DefectorFromDecadence: When Damien realized what WATI was up to, he readily agreed to leak information to Reza.

* TheScapegoat: [[spoiler:WATI pinned the blame for their Dreamer mind control scheme on him.]]
* TemporaryLoveInterest: He and Zoë have feelings for one another, but [[spoiler:Damien is killed]] before anything comes of it. By ''Chapters'', Zoë is back with Reza.

* NiceGuy: Wonkers is incredibly kind.
* NotHimself: [[spoiler:Zoë notices that something is off about him when she meets him in ''Chapters'', pointing out that he is acting suspiciously robotic all of a sudden.]]

!!Alvin Peats
->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Dow

The founder of [=WATICorp=] who still commands his company after 150 years.

* BigBad: The Starkian BigBad in ''DF'' [[spoiler: until the end when Samantha has the twins kill him and she usurps the role.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's using [=WATICorp=] to take over the world.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: He has used technology to prolong his life well past the age of 150 years. The results are rather ugly to say the least, both physically and mentally.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: He's kept alive by machinery. It's not pretty to see. At all.
* DirtyOldMan: He boasts to Zoë about his getting off on experiencing Reza's dreams of having sex with her.
%% * DreamStealer
* EvilBrit: He definitely has the accent.
* FakingTheDead: He is believed to be long dead in 2219. He isn't.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Becomes the one for Stark at the end of the story.]]

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:She is fully in charge of [=WATIcorp=] after she has the twins impale Peats to death.]]
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:She betrays Peats and has him murdered in his moment of weakness.]]
* TomboyishName: She is commonly referred as "Sam", for example, by Peats [[spoiler:right before she kills him]], confusing some fans who thought that there was an unrevealed dude named Samuel involved.
* ValleyGirl[=/=]SpoiledBrat: Implied to not really have all that good of a grasp on exactly what her company is doing, and attempts to make up for that by being a very unpleasant boss. [[spoiler:In fact, [[NotSoHarmless she was just biding her time]].]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:She is notably absent in ''Chapters'', though [=WATICorp=] is still a major antagonist.]]

!!Helena Chang
->'''Voiced by:''' Iris Quin (''Dreamfall: The Longest Journey''), Jane Perry (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

A scientist working for JIVA. Zoë's adventure began when Reza asked her to pick up a package from Helena.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:She views the daughers she created as disposable tools. According to Gabriel, Helena would have "disposed of" the then two years-old Zoë if he hadn't adopted her.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:According to Gabriel, Helena vanished in the flash of light that resulted from Zoë taking the Undreaming from Westhouse. It's never revealed what happened to her.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Arcadia]]
!!(Theoretically) Blind Bob
->'''Voiced by:''' Andre Sogliuzzo

A Marcurian beggar whom Zoë meets in front of the Journeyman Inn. He is not actually blind, but he ''could'' be, so his full name is Theoretically Blind Bob--he just often omits "Theoretically" because it's so long.

* BreakoutCharacter: Kinda. Bob is a two-bit PluckyComicRelief character in ''Dreamfall'', but was popular enough to return with a bigger role in ''Chapters''.
* IHaveManyNames: In ''Chapters''. He prefers to call himself "The General", but another character refers to him as "Bob-who-now-can-see" while he is mentioned in the objective list as "Once-Blind Bob".
* ObfuscatingDisability: He is "theoretically" blind.
* SacrificialLion: No matter what choices you make, [[spoiler: he will die during the raid of the Enclave]].
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: His sickly white eyes look normal in ''Chapters'', and other characters and the game text refers to him as a previously blind person.

!!The Prophet

A mysterious robed figure in Marcuria who seems to represent the Six.

* BigBad: He's the main villain of the ''Dreamfall'' arc.
* BlackCloak: He wears one that mostly conceals him.
* BlackSpeech: He's apparently speaking dragon, but to us it sounds like a bunch of unintelligible strangled whispers.
* DramaticUnmask: In Book 5 of Chapters, we learn he is really [[spoiler: Brian Westhouse]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Is possessed by the Undreaming]]
* TheFaceless: His face and, thereby true identity, is a mystery.
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: [[spoiler:He was the one who gave the Azadi the knowledge and the means to construct the Engine, which is essentially a giant computer running on steam technology.]]
* KarmaHoudini: He gets away with everything in ''Dreamfall''. [[spoiler:He finally gets his comeuppance in ''Chapters'']]
* ManBehindTheMan: He apparently sparked the Azadi's scientific revolution and put them on the track of exterminating magic from the world, to further his own goals.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: He adds a mask to his costume in ''Chapters''.
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:Even when The Undreaming is not inside of him, he willingly goes along with its influences]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: He's Brian Westhouse]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: He does just want to go home and prevent Chaos from destroying his homeworld.]] '
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:His ultimate fate is never explained in ''Chapters'']]

!!White Kin
->'''Voiced by:''' Jenny Maher

The newborn White Dragon April helped hatch in ''The Longest Journey'', currently living as a human in the Dark People's Library.

* GodInHumanForm: As a Draic Kin, the White Kin is practically a god. She takes the form of a human to hide.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Has long, perfectly white hair and is one of the most powerful magical creatures in all of Arcadia.
* SpiritAdvisor: Seems to be one for [[spoiler: Saga]]. Whether it's AstralProjection or something else is unclear.

!!Commander Vamon
->'''Voiced by:''' Garrett Lombard (''Dreamfall''), Mark Healy (''Dreamfall Chapters'')

The commander of the Azadi forces stationed in the Northlands. Born to a noble family, Vamon has had a chip on his shoulder about Kian for as long as he has known him, due to his low birth and quick ascension through the military ranks despite this status. He also appears involved in a mysterious conspiracy, sometimes meeting with the Prophet and Sister Sahya in secret...

* CombatPragmatist: In ''Chapters'', his encounter with Kian at the Keep has him pull out his pistol and shoot Kian a couple times.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: His ultimate fate at the hands of a magical lynch mob. Anna, whom he tried to kill in the backstory, delivers the first blow.]]
* TheDragon: To Sister Sahya.
* DuelingScar: Has one across his nose and right cheek.
* EvilCounterpart: Vamon and Kian both grew up on the streets of Sadir. The difference is that while Kian is a moral man who puts his skills acquired on the streets to good use, Vamon uses his skills to abuse his powers.
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He has his men kill both April Ryan and General Hami.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: While all Azadi have blue eyes, Vamon's are especially piercing.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Shoves Sister Sahya off a balcony, and he gets it at the hand of a lynch mob led by Anna.]]
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: When he finds that the prisoners of Friar's Keep are giving statements to General Hami that contradicts his own men's claims that Kian died in the riot, he immediately suggests the idea of murdering them before the General can interview them again. Sister Sahya in turn points how foolish this idea is.
* TallPoppySyndrome: The other part of his antipathy towards Kian seems to stem from petty jealously over the fact that Kian is a better swordsman than him.

!!Sister Sahya
->'''Voiced by:''' Jade Yourell

The Azadi governess of Northlands, ruling from the Great Azadi Tower in Marcuria. Like Vamon she apparently has a hidden agenda that she is trying to keep secret from the The Six.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:After all she's done, her death was much deserved.]]
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: [[spoiler: Gets shoved off a balcony by her lover.]]
* OfficeRomance: Is in a relationship with Vamon, despite it being strictly forbidden according to Azadi customs.
* PragmaticVillainy: She sometimes needs to rein Vamon in from making rash and short-sighted decisions, reminding him that they have to be patient and careful if their plan is going to stay under wraps.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:She plans to harness the power of the Engine and use it to usurp the Six and have herself crowned as the sole Empress.]]

!!The Six, Empresses of Azadi

The heads of the Azadi Empire and the Goddess religion.

* BiggerBad: Seem to be the Arcadian Bigger Bads in ''DF'', although ''Chapters'' implies that whatever Vamon and Sahya are doing in Marcuria happened without the Six's sanction and knowledge, although they all ostensibly follow the Prophet.
* AChildShallLeadThem: They are all short and look like they are preteens. The character descriptions in Chapters specifically explain that the Six must be between 12 and adulthood, with their numbering signifying oldest (One) to youngest (Six).
* KarmaHoudini[=/=]TheBadGuyWins: At least in ''Dreamfall''. Who knows what the rest of the series holds for them...[[spoiler: They seem to get replaced by Kian, the Bloodless King.]]


!!Na'ane

A Zhidmari healer who recently joined April's rebels against the Azadi.

* MyGreatestFailure: She feels awful about [[spoiler: betraying April.]]

The mysterious and apparent caretaker of Dreamtime.

* OccultBlueEyes: Of the wizard kind.
* TheMentor: Becomes this to Zoë, once she finds herself stuck in Dreamtime
* TalksLikeASimile: Zoë jokes that he uses metaphors so frequently when she talks with him that [[GotMeDoingIt it has rubbed off on her]].

!!Faith
->'''Voiced by:''' Georgia Pearce

A mysterious girl that keeps appearing before Zoë to ask her to save April Ryan.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:''Chapters'' reveals that Helena Chang created Faith in a lab in an attempt to create a Dreamer.]]
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: Her appearance is based off the trope maker Sadako from ''Literature/TheRing''.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Faith's attempts to preserve herself in the Wire after her physical death created the Static that is disabling vital technology on Stark, killing many. Faith has no idea that she's doing this.]]
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:WATI's experiments killed Faith a few months before ''Dreamfall'' begins. The Faith that talks to Zoë is a copy of herself she somehow created on the Wire.]]


!!The Undreaming

The Undreaming is unchained.

* TheAntiGod: [[spoiler:Is the counterpart to Lux. Its true form even resembles Lux, albeit as a Lux made of darkness rather than light.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler: It's unclear what it actually is, but Lux points out that it's bad because it was separated from itself.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:It possessed Brian Westhouse when the man entered the Storytime.]]
* EldritchAbomination: It's an incorporeal being capable of destroying both worlds and potentially everyone's subconscious.

->''"Well, this shitty shitting shit just got real."''

Owner of a robot junk shop in Europolis, Stark and an acquaintance of the late Burns Flipper from ''TLJ'' and the late Olivia de Marco from ''Dreamfall''. Originally from India, now in her late 20-ies.

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:She makes a brief, unvoiced appearance in the final book when Zoë contacts her to get Wit's help in shutting down the Engine.]]
* ClusterFBomb: Or S-Bomb. Some variation of "shit" is easily her most commonly used word. Turns to full-blown F-bombs in Book Two.
%%* EyepatchOfPower
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Wit, who towers over her. In a ironic reversal, it's Wit who requires Mira's protection, despite his size.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Mira teases Wit, but will not allow anyone else to do so.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears an old-style leather jacket.
* IronLady: You don't fuck with Mira.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her abrasive attitude, she can act quite nice at times, even though she claims she is only doing so begrudgingly. Her RebelliousSpirit also motivates her to come to Zoë's aid in her fight against TheConspiracy. Also, when she asks for a favour of Zoe, she doesn't ask for her paying or doing an errand...she asks her to go home and be safe.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Wit. She essentially views him as a younger brother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Calls Wit a 'retard' and claims he is probably faking his autism.

!!Wit
A humble technical genius in Mira's employment.

* ArtificialLimbs: His right leg and left arm and mechanical.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Zoë contacts him to get his help shutting down the Engine in the final book.]]
* ElectronicEyes: His googles make his eyes look permanently yellow.
* GentleGiant: Physically enormous, wouldn't hurt a fly.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Mira, whom he towers over.
* IdiotSavant: Genius with tech, but cannot communicate with anyone but Mira.
* TheSilentBob: He communicates entirely non-verbally.

!!Dr. Roman Zelenka
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Healy

Zoë's psychotherapist who helps her restore her lost memories.

* TheMole: [[spoiler: He's been feeding details about Zoë to Falk Friedman.]]
* PutOnABus: Zoë loses contact with him in the timeskip between Books 2 and 3. She suspects that he left Propast in wake of its increasing transformation into a police state. [[spoiler: But considering that Friedmann was saying he has become useless, he might also...]]
* ShipTease: Flirting with him is an option.

!!Nela Vlček
->'''Voiced by:''' Miranda Raison

A food vendor in Propast, with whom Zoë tries to be friends but their different political agendas can put a strain on their relationship (Nela is a Marxist, Zoë supports social democrats).

* ForcedIntoEvil: Variation. Queenie believes that Nela was [[spoiler: tricked, thinking she would set off an EMP instead of an antimatter bomb. However, Nela learned the truth before the bomb went off. She goes through with it, in order to bring [=WATICorp=] down. She plays the rest of the trope straight, realizing innocent people will be killed and deeply regrets their lives will be lost. In the end, she does succeed at this.]]
* PeekABangs: Played straight, though mostly for style.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: In Book Two, Nela will admit to Zoë that her party is having some debate about whether to work with the system or go full-on revolutionary. [[spoiler:In her next appearance, she [[SuicideAttack suicide-bombs]] an EYE checkpoint]].
* UnwittingPawn: Subverted. [[spoiler: It's implied during Chapter Three that someone tricked Nela into suicide bombing the checkpoint, convincing her it was just an EMP to disrupt the EYE. However, she figured out the truth. She detonated the bomb anyway, because [=WATIcorp=] would have killed her, covered it up, and triggered another attack if she didn't. She reasons that, since [=WATIcorp=] is getting what it wants, they won't bother to cover anything up until it is too late to do anything about it.]]

!!Süleyman "Sully" Sadik
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker

Reza's editor at the Hand That Feeds and Zoë's admirer.

* BigFun: He has a happy, easy-going attitude and likes to jokingly flirt with Zoë. Zoë implies that part of it might just be him putting on a brave face, since he has recently been going through a rather ugly divorce.
* CarpetOfVirility: Of the fat slob variety.
* IntrepidReporter: He's the newspaper's editor, but he fulfills all of the trope.

!!Queenie
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown

The informal leader of Bricks (essentially, Propast's Chinatown).

* TheAtoner: She mentions spending the second half of her long life making up for the mistakes she did in the first one.
* CoolOldLady: She has managed to keep her businesses out of Mr London's blackmailing scheme, is the most respected person in her neighborhood, has a knack for picking up on subtle things about people, and has a hovering teacup. Zoë admits that she kind of want to be Queenie when she gets to be old--not "like Queenie" but actually be her.
* FemmeFatalons: Subverted. She's got them, but she's a nice lady.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Queenie is an almost comically small old Asian lady.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: If you [[spoiler:tell the truth about the Social Democrats possibly being corrupt, she'll refuse to endorse them despite having promised it in return for your help. However, she still owes a favor, and makes it clear she'll pay up if Zoë ever needs one]].

!!Hanna Roth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaHenwick

The ''de facto'' leader of the teenage gang, "The Dragonflies", in Propast, who disappeared several days before Queenie asks Zoë to find her. She is a Dreamer like Zoe, although her powers are presumably a lot weaker.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Like Zoe. She was the second child created, whereas Zoe was the first.]]
* AstralProjection: Like Zoe, she can project herself into other worlds. Her powers are indicated to be less advanced, though, and she isn't aware of the true scope of what she's doing.
* ButchLesbian: She's got the punk look down and her love interest is the more [[LipstickLesbian conventionally attractive]] Abby.
* {{Courier}}: Her main source of income comes from organizing and making deliveries of goods her clients would rather have goes unnoticed by the EYE.
* ReluctantRuler: She doesn't like the notion that the other members of "The Dragonflies" look to her as their leader, still she is fiercely protective of them and she is so respected that her word often ends up being the last in an argument.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Her clothes flatten her bustline, and her short stature in comparison to Zoe's StatuesqueStunner makes her look like a pre-teen. Her kissing scene with Abby is a little awkward as a result.
* PutOnABus: She leaves Propast for Mumbai during Book 3. [[spoiler:While this puts her in proximity to Zoë's final confrontation with Helena, Helena dismisses Hanna as a threat and she never appears again.]]

!!Falk Friedman
->'''Voiced by:''' Tim Bentinck

A "Corporate Jäger", i.e. a BountyHunter employed by corporations to take care of dirty, off-the-books business. He haunts Zoë as she is trying to establish a new life in Europolis.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Classy and elegant in a suit that probably costs thousands.
* CharacterDeath: As a possible outcome of player choices. [[spoiler:In Book Three, if Zoë tosses her Dreamer at him, he gets shot in the chest. Though he doesn't die on the spot, it's made clear when the game recounts player choices.]]
%%* CorporateSamurai
* DissonantSerenity: He's completely stoic and placid while [[spoiler: gunning down EYE's after Zoë. Even if he's shot in the chest.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler: Possibly. He can kill without remorse, although he is killing EYE's trying to kill Zoe.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His introduction has him lighting up a cigarette in a rather sinister manner as he spies on Zoë's apartment.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: He actually is not hunting Zoë... he's ''protecting'' her -- albeit on the orders of her mother.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Fits with his job as a hunter.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Arcadia]]
!!Shepherd
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh

The Samare leader of the resistance.

* BigGood: She's the leader of the resistance and thus the last hope of the magicals races of Marcuria.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She dies at the end of Book 4 if Kian brought Likho to Ge'en.]]

!!Enu-Mar Sand'ya
->'''Voiced by:''' Jessica Henwick

Enu-Mar Sand'ya, Twilight Child, Daughter of Te'a-Mar is a member of the anti-Azadi resistance in the Northlands.

* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She makes more than a few remarks about Kian being attractive without meaning to. Later, she blurts out that Zoe is also very attractive.
* MotorMouth: She has a bit of a problem about knowing when to pause whenever she has started talking.
* OverlyLongName: The girl has quite a lot of epithets (second only to April, in fact).
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: She has a tendency to blurt out rather embarrassing statements at time.
* PointyEars: As befits a Zhid, one of the fantasy races inhabiting Arcadia.
* PragmaticHero: She really doesn't like the fact that [[spoiler: Kian can choose to let a man who had sex with a young Dolmari go]], but she does think it's worth it to have a spy in the Tower.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the wild and emotional red to Likho's (and to a lesser extent, Kian's) blue. She even wears red.
* TheSpock: As opposed to Likho's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]], she gravitates towards more pragmatic solutions to problems and moral questions, even if she doesn't like it.
* SomeCallMeTim: She knows her name is kind of a mouthful, and since her parents aren't around to make a fuss about it she prefers just to go by "Enu".
* TalkativeLoon: Downplayed, but she's kinda out there. And she does not shut up.

!!Likho
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveFennoy

A Dolmari resistance member with a old grudge against Kian that he is still hoping to pay back some day.

* FireforgedFriends: He bonds with Kian if Kian allows him to join the mission to Ge'en.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:If Likho is left behind by Kian when he goes to Ge'en, Likho ends up getting killed during the raid on the rebel base, but he goes down fighting and manages to save Shepherd in the process.]]
* TheMcCoy: As opposed to Enu's [[TheSpock Spock]], in a dark sense; despite his stoic surface he often puts RevengeBeforeReason, and can therefore be impulsive and rash where Enu usually is able to keep a cool head and think of the bigger picture.
* TheNotLoveInterest: While Likho and Kian are both gay and the two of them can become very close, they come to consider themselves to be brothers and not lovers.
* RedOniBlueOni: It's not a surprise the blue guy is the stoic, straight-laced one.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He dies at the end of Book Four if Kian didn't let him accompany him to Ge'en.]]
* StraightGay: If you brought him along for the trip in Book Four, he stops just short of saying this outright. The intent is fairly clear, though.
* TheStraightMan: Plays this to the more goofy Enu.
* SuperReflexes: If Kian fails to perform the ArrowCatch in ''Book 2'', he does it instead.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: A strong believer in this.
* WhyCantIHateYou: If brought along at the end of chapter 3 Likho expresses his frustration at this to Kian, saying Kian's actions are making him difficult to hate.
* YouKilledMyFather: He has a vendetta against Kian for the death of his father, which Kian was involved in. [[spoiler:If Likho survives the game, he decides to forgive Kian.]]

!!Jakai Salmin
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin

The nephew of Benrime Salmin. He used to be a merchant who frequently traded with the Azadi, but after his aunt was imprisoned in the previous game, Jakai realized the error of his ways and joined the resistance.

* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:It's implied that he only joined the resistance so he could sell them out to the Azadi for a quick buck.]]
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Vamon pays Jakai plenty of coin for giving him the location of the resistance's base. And then Vamon throws in a bonus fatal stab to Jakai's heart.]]

!!Ulvic the Ever-Thirsty
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker

The publican of the Rooster & Kitten Pub. He works as an informant for the resistance

* InnocentInnuendo: He doesn't seem to realize why Zoë considers his pub's sign, which is a kitten riding a rooster, to be innuendo. Nor does he understand what's so funny about his pub's nickname of "The Cock & Pussy"
* RetiredBadass: In his younger days, Ulvic sailed the sea and had many adventures. Now he's just a publican.

!!Bip
->'''Voiced by:''' Harry Martin

A Dolmari street urchin who assists the resistance. His parents were taken were taken to the prison colony by the Azadi.

* SelectiveObliviousness: It is implied that Bip on some level knows just how bad the odds of his parents' survival are, but the thought of them being dead is such an AwfulTruth that he tries his hardest not to acknowledge it.
* StreetUrchin: He has been homeless ever since his parents were taken. While he is StreetSmart enough to survive on his own and he claims to be perfectly happy with it, it is pretty evident that he misses his old life.
* TagalongKid: He insists on coming to help Kian in Books 2 and 3. He's more helpful than a usual one [[spoiler: but he's still caught in Book 3 and must be rescued in Book 4]]. Kian preempts this in Book 5, knowing Pip will tag along unless they make sure to have someone watch him.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kian frequently notices how much Bip reminds him of himself as a child.

!!Bandu-Ma-Seri aka "The Mole"
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown

A female Banda who is the leader of Marcuria's criminal underground (pun fully intended).

* TheBusCameBack: While she mostly exits the story when she leaves Marcuria at the end of Book 2, she makes a brief reappearance in Book 4 to help Zoë find the Purple Mountains.
* IronLady: After his dealings with her, Kian comes to understand why she is so feared and respected despite her size, realizing that she is both very clever and strong-willed.
* LastOfHerKind: She explains that the Azadi wiped out the Banda, and the only reason she survived is because she was thought dead. [[spoiler:Subverted in Book 4, with the return of Ben-Bandu from TLJ. Ben-Bandu also mentions that some Banda managed to flee to the east]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She doesn't really like the rebellion, but she likes the Azadi even less.
* RuggedScar: Has three sets of claw marks across her face.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The presence of the Azadi machine eventually causes her to decide to close up her operation and leave Marcuria, as she senses that something is ''horribly'' wrong about it, and she doesn't want to be anywhere near it whenever it is activated]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Or let one be killed. She's perfectly okay with killing an innocent Azadi boy to get his message.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Played with. She is actually very eloquent, but her way of speaking is quite peculiar.

!!Anna
->'''Voiced by:''' Katie Lyons

A young lady from Marcuria who meets with Kian in Book Two.

* ActionGirl: Not seen in Book 2, but implied by Kian that she knows her way in a fight. [[spoiler: By protecting Ferdows and possibly Enu, she gets to be this.]]
%%* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: She sets up Varmon to get one of these. And delivers the first blow herself.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's not actually part of the Resistance, but she tips off Kian to an Azadi soldier doing horrible things.
* IHaveManyNames: In Book 3, she admits that "Anna" is actually an alias and that she uses a different name in every city she travels to.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's in love with Kian, who is gay, which makes their conversations rather awkward.
* MysteriousPast: Anna can see through Kian's cloaking veil, which is only possible if they know each other intimately. As Kian has no recollection of the woman, it begs the question of who she really is. [[spoiler: Her name is Alayna, and Kian rescued her from Vamon as a child.]]
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She is not part of the Resistance, but she is against the Azadi occupation.
* ShipTease: She can kiss Kian. Player choice may or may not reciprocate.
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:Tells Kian that she has loved him since he saved her from Vamon as a child, and has only ever loved him.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: After [[spoiler: Kian saved her from Vamon]] she watched him from a distance until circumstance caused her to [[spoiler: leave Sadir]]. After reuniting, she still shows shades of this.

!!General Hami
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker

One of heads of the Azadi's military.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Not maliciously so, but he would lock Kian away for his own safety and wait for a chance to expose Vamon and Sahya, even though Kian knows that waiting would be catastrophic.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He knows that something is up with the way Commander Vamon and Sister Sahya runs things in Marcuria. He directly says to Vamon that he really doesn't want to suspect him of any wrongdoing, but he will investigate into the matter until he knows the truth and encourages him to be forthcoming. He is also fully willing to believe Kian when he tells him that Vamon and Sahya are traitors, despite Kian being a traitor himself, pointing out that the fact Kian stands alive in front proves they lied to him. In Book Four, he agrees to hear Kian out after finding [[spoiler:the Azadi concentration camp is being used for horrific experiments]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He dies fighting Vamon's men shortly after defecting to the rebellion.]]
* RuggedScar: His face is marked by quite the collection of scars. He sure hasn't earned his rank from sitting behind a desk.

!! Mother Utana
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh

A former teacher of Kian's and Anna's, Mother Utana is an elderly woman traveling with the First and General Hami.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. She's shown to be ambitious, she came to Marcuria because it could get her close to the Seat (possibly as a member of the Six). But she's nothing but kind. [[spoiler: Until Book 5 shows her to be a BitchInSheepsClothing.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Her kindly mother facade hides the fact that she approved of killing all magicals.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She took in Kian as an orphan, taught Anna, and it's believed that she will withdraw her support to Sahya if she learns about how magicals are being exterminated. [[spoiler: Whoo, boy, did Book 5 subvert this.]]
* GoodShepherd: She's involved in the church, and is saintly and wise. [[spoiler: At least until Book 5 makes her genocidal intentions clear.]]
* HappilyAdopted: She's very motherly to both Kian and Anna, and is implied to have been their mother figure in addition to her teacher.
* SilkHidingSteel: She doesn't raise her voice, or get angry. But she can cow Sister Sahya when the latter is being disrespectful, and both Sahya and Vamon are hesitant to cross her. [[spoiler: Until she knifes Kian in the back, she never shows any violence.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She believes that she is doing the work of the Goddess.]]

!!Ferdows
->'''Voiced by:''' Sam Fink

An engineer involved in the operation of the machinery running all throughout Marcuria.

* BackForTheFinale: It looks as if he is killed mid-game... but is present in the finale and [[spoiler: helps save the day]].
* HollywoodNerd: Skinny, with thick spectacles and oversized teeth.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is horrified when he finds out that the magicals were being sent to prison camps and executed instead of simply relocated.
* PunchClockVillain: Most things are above his pay grade. He just runs the machinery.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He's upset the magicals are being killed, but he's really upset when he learns that it extends to children.

!!Onor Hileriss
->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Dow

The leader of The National Front for Faith and Family. He is currently running for the post as Leader of the City Watch in Marcuria and it is a OpenSecret that he is a collaborator with the Azadi.

* BlackShirt: He openly works for the Azadi and applauds their stigma against magic and Magicals.
* FalseFriend: Despite his cooperative attitude towards the Azadi, some of his aside comments in more private moments reveals that he really doesn't like them, and only sees them as an means to the end of getting more power for himself. He especially despises the fact that they worship a female deity and are organized as a matriarchal society.
* FreudianExcuse: He implies at one point that the reason behind his stigma against Magicals stems from his father running away with a Dolmari woman and thereby brining shame upon the family's name.
* HateSink: Pretty clearly exists to be the one guy in the game no one is supposed to like.
* HeManWomanHater: In Book Four, he makes several comments about how women should StayInTheKitchen. Just in case you thought he might have some redeeming qualities.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Managed to catch crow so he could burn him alive, only to have the same happen to him when Kian sabotages the attempt. He doesn't die on the spot, but a guard observes that he probably won't last the night.
* ManOnFire: Kian can do this to him in Book 5. It couldn't have happened to a better person.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: His antipathy against Magicals and ideas of blood, land, and honor carries very obvious connotations.
* VerbalTic: He sure likes to say "Yes!" in an emphatic tone a lot.

!!Sister Alessandra/The Administrator
->'''Voiced by:''' Jane Perry

The administrator of the Azadi concentration camp on Ge'en.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kian does NOT like that she is fond of his past an Apostle. Or that she fantasized about meeting him naked.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Her very pale blue eyes and the fact she is slightly bug-eyed, gives her a noticeably creepy stare.
* DissonantSerenity: She's quite calm when she talks about her plague to kill all magicals. She shows more excitement thinking about [[AllWomenAreLustful naked Kian.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Unless Kian specifically asks her for her name, she is only ever called "The Administrator" or "Sister."
* FatBastard: She is notably more plump than any other Azadi encountered in the game, and perhaps also one of the most wilfully evil ones.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Kian assumes at first that her knitting indicates she's not a wholly evil person. He could not possibly be more wrong.
* FinalSolution: One of the main people implementing one for magicals in Arcadia.
* FreudianExcuse: Her siblings were murdered by magicals, including very young children.
* {{Hypocrite}} During her MotiveRant, she complains about children being innocent of the crimes of their parents. She then explicitly complains that magical children will grow up to be just like their parents. The irony is clearly lost on her.
* MadDoctor: With her love of vivisecting and performing experiments on her victims, she is basically a female Josef Mengele.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: A ruthless genocidal maniac who runs a literal concentration camp.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Genocidal, has a [[spoiler:pit of bodies]] in her room, vivisects live subjects (including children)...
* PlayingWithSyringes: Is about to vivisect [[spoiler:Bip]] when Kian meets her, and has no objections to [[spoiler:unethical experimentation and mass murder for the sake of a global magical genocide]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, [[spoiler:Bip]], in addition to every magical child she's ever murdered.
* YoureInsane: Kian will tell her this much. She denies the notion, because all she is doing is science after all, not magic.

[[folder:Others]]
!!Saga
->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (child), Ava Khan (teenager), Creator/EleanorMatsuura (adult), Susan Brown (old woman)

A mysterious new female lead, announced [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090619044056/http://ragnartornquist.com/?p=655 ages ago]]. She appears as a [[PlayableCharacter playable toddler]] in the first interlude at the end of Book One.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: To Kian]].
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: She has what looks to be a mini version of the late Crow.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Adult Saga enjoys snarking at every opportune and inopportune moment.
* DimensionalTraveler: She's a shifter, like April.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: In Book 5, we learn that Magnus has disappeared and never come back to the House of All Worlds.]]
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: She tags along with Kian in the epilogue, posing as his daughter. When she's older, she remarks about how much she misses him.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Seems to be a product of one: her father, Magnus, looks human, while her mother, Etta, has [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green skin and an impossibly stunning figure]]. Saga, for her part, looks like a regular human baby, then a regular human toddler, and then a regular teenager, albeit with dyed green hair.
* MeaningfulName: Her motivation for helping the heroes in Book 5 is that "the story is already written".
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:During the second interlude, Etta has gone missing. The fact that Magnus doesn't believe she is dead and forbids Saga to go outside the house implies that she has somehow been lost in the Aether.]]
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The spirit of [[spoiler:the White Dragon]] has watched over Saga pretty much since birth, but she is the only one who can see her (and even that seems to be the case only while she is a toddler).
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:In Book Four, Abnaxus reveals that a part of April Ryan reincarnated in Saga, although even Lady Alvane (Saga in her old age) doesn't quite understand what their connection is.]]
* TheReveal: She is [[spoiler: Lady Alvane from ''The Longest Journey'', as well as April Ryan's reincarnation.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She was a reason the devs avoided talking about the contents of the prologue and the interludes all the way up until the release of Book One, although this was later subverted when the placed an adult Saga front-and-center on the cover of ''The Final Cut''.

!!Magnus
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin

Saga's father.

* AdultFear: In Book Four, he wakes up to find [[spoiler:Saga has broken the wards preventing her from shifting and left the house]].
* BeardOfSorrow: Magnus has developed PermaStubble in the second interlude, and it gets even thicker in the third. [[spoiler:It is strongly implied to be due to Etta's disappearance.]]
* GoodParents: He's trying really hard to be a good father, and it shows.
* LethalChef: Etta doesn't care for his stew.
* MagnusMeansMage: He managed to build a house at the nexus of all universes and timelines of the multiverse, and has outfitted it with all kinds of magical protections and wards.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He's absent in Book 5, having left the House between All Worlds. And Saga has no idea where he's gone.]]
* StandardFiftiesFather: His looks invoke much of this image.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Downplayed. He is a bit shorter than Etta, but not by much.

!! Etta
->'''Voiced by:''' Sarah Hamilton

Saga's mother.

* GoodParents: She dotes on her baby girl.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She looks exactly like one, although it's never been hinted where she's from.
* HappilyMarried: Interlude 1 and the flashbacks show us that Magnus and Etta deeply loved each other.
* TheLostLenore: After she disappears from the House between All Worlds, Magnus carries a torch for her.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: She senses the presence of the [[spoiler: White Dragon]], but nothing comes of it.
* PutOnABus: She disappears after the first Interlude. It's hinted she became lost in the Aether.
* StatuesqueStunner: She towers over her husband.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a head taller than Magnus is.

!!Lux

The first Dreamer, and the creator of the universe.

* AmbiguousGender: Lux isn't really defined by a gender. Zoë struggles with whether to call Lux a he or a she.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Lux is naked in a scene with Zoe in Chapter 4, but has no genitals or nipples.
* BarrierMaiden: The universe exists as long as Lux dreams. If Lux died, it would mean the end of everything.
* CosmicKeystone: The soul-stone belongs to Lux.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Rare inversion, the boyishly androgynous Lux is the GoodCounterpart to the clearly dark and definitely female Yaga.
* FourFingeredHands: Lux noticeably has four fingers, perhaps to showcase that Lux is definitely not human.
* FusionDance: Joins with [[spoiler:Zoë]] at the end of Book Four.
* GooGooGodlike: Lux looks a young child, but is still the being that dreamt the universe into existence.
* GoodCounterpart: The dream to the Yaga's nightmare.
* PowerTattoo: When the [[spoiler: FusionDance with Zoë]] occues, an orange tattoo appears on her face. Lux also has a number of tattoos, but it's unknown if powers come with them, like Zoe's in Storytime.
* {{Telepathy}}: Lux communicating with Zoë happens entirely telepathically, with Zoë RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear. Lux only vocalizes grunts and giggles.

!!Baeb-Ayae-Gh'aa aka Baba Yaga

The Wicker Witch.

* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: She sees herself as a necessary counterbalance to Lux, stating that without darkness and fear, there can be no imagination and therefore no dreams.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Or in her case, Gods Needs ''Fear'' Badly. By the time Zoë meets her, she is in a weakened state as all her agents meant to spread fear in her name are either dead, or in the case of Klacks, have lost their powers.
* GreaterScopeVillain: She commanded both the Gribbler and Roper Klacks, two bosses from the first game.
* TheHecateSisters: She shifts around between these three forms while speaking to Zoë.
* HumanoidAbomination: For what corresponds to a literal God of Darkness and Fear, she appears very humanoid when speaking to Zoë.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She mentions that she didn't always take the form of the Hecate Sisters, it was apparently a side-effect of Lux dreaming the universe into existence.
* TimeAbyss: She existed before Lux created the universe.
* TheSacredDarkness: The Yaga is very much a primordial evil, by she is the kind of DarkIsEvil that makes Lux's Light stand out and makes human create and invent out of fear of it. This is in contrast to the "black fire" darkness, which seeks only to unravel the dream/creation and is pretty obviously the Undreaming.
* SonOfAnApe: She dismissively refer to both Zoë, and humanity as a whole, as "monkeys".
