Belus
A business partner of Pamela's (or rather, the business partner). He's asked Pamela to gather the beads of a certain necklace for him.
- Depraved Bisexual - had a previous relationship with Ash as well as being in love with Pamela.
- Obfuscating Stupidity - He's fond of fooling around, but he's not afraid of getting serious when he has to.
Aaron
A sweet and innocent young boy who is taken in by Pamela. He also happens to be a werewolf.
- Abusive Parents - his father was physically abusive, and ended up selling him to a strange man for beer.
Ash
A mysterious boy who shows up at the shop one day. He strongly resembles someone from Pamela's past, and seems to carry many secrets.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder - at one point it's literal.
- Despair Event Horizon - Belus is able to capture him because of this.
- Love at First Sight - Implied to be a frequent target of this. It never ends well.
- Mind Screw - is pretty much this personified. Of course, he has some very good reasons for it...
- Reincarnation Romance - subverted. He's in love with Belus instead.
Alecto
A friend of Axis who seeks revenge for his death.
- Berserk Button - After Axis' death, the sight of Pamela (or even hearing her name) sends him into a rage.
- Body Horror: Belial put curse worms. In. His. BODY.
- Love Redeems - Subverted. He actually gets worse after being told that when he falls in love, he'll die.
- Obfuscating Stupidity - and The Reveal of it is awesome.
- Scary Black Man - or rather, scary black dragon.
- The First Cut Is the Deepest - Although it's somewhat ambiguous as to whether this is regarding Axis or Pamela.
- Tsundere - Type A to begin with, but he really goes into tsuntsun mode whenever he's around Axis.
Cora
A fortune teller, like Pamela. Also called "The Queen of the Dead.''
- Earn Your Happy Ending - she's finally able to reach Heaven after several centuries.
- Gorgeous Period Dress - her hanbok.
- I Am Who? - she's the reincarnation of Pamela's mother.
Axis
Pamela's first love. Despite (or perhaps because of) his brutal murder long ago, he holds sway over Pamela and Alecto.
- Berserk Button - never hurt Pamela. Ever.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - despite being a dragon, he manages to pull this off.
- Face–Heel Turn - mostly with his reincarnation, Ash, but he shows more than a few signs of this right before his death.
- My God, What Have I Done? - at the time of his death.
