Main Cast

Zack and Drake

Zack

"I can't imagine forcing either of you to choose your final destiny!"

Voiced by: Lucien Dodge (EN) / Tsubasa Yonaga (JP)

A young knight of Kamza engaged to be wed to its princess, Toki. On the day of the wedding, upon learning that Toki is capable of traveling through time, his soul is pulled along and ends up inhabiting the body of her pet dragon, Drake.

Audience Surrogate: The game is played through his point of view and the player's choices are made through him.
Casanova Wannabe: He'll attempt to flirt with other women from time to time, but he either gets caught or turned down right away. In one event, Towa even asks him how he isn't completely embarrassed with the way he talks when trying to flatter Makimona.
Character Development: As the story progresses, he gains more control over his lustful thoughts and, by the end, truly comes to see Toki and Towa as partners rather than prizes, especially after losing one in the normal endings.
Chick Magnet: Subverted. None of Toki's friends develop romantic feelings for him and, after his development, he remains wholly faithful to Toki/Towa.
Covert Pervert:
- Zack has some naughty thoughts about the princess or her friends time and again, but never actively tries to do anything to them that he shouldn't. He does, however, completely fail to hide the fact that he's thinking perverted thoughts. His face gives him away every time, even as a dragon. Other active choices that involve Toki/Towa are left up to the player.
- Zack notices that, before the wedding, Drake is always quite eager to take a bath with Toki and notes how lucky he is.
Decoy Protagonist: The first half hour of the game tricks the player into thinking he's the main character. Until the first attack on the wedding and going back in time reveal that Toki and Towa are the real protagonists.
Dying Moment of Awesome: He thinks he's having one of these after taking a fatal wound while protecting Toki during the first attack on the wedding... until Towa emerges and completely steals the show before Toki Time Leaps.
I Gave My Word: One of his positive traits from the start that Toki adamantly defends about him is that he can always be trusted to do what he says he'd do. Illustrated in the backstory by hunting down a rare medicine to heal Drake when he got sick and proving his Declaration of Protection by Taking the Bullet and being willing to die for Toki.
Hello, [Insert Name Here]: The hero's default name is Zack, but it can be changed. Consequentially, either no one refers to him by name or they just call him Drake.
Hormone-Addled Teenager: One of the rare 18-year-old JRPG heroes who behaves like a horny 18-year-old. At the start of the game, he's looking more forward to the wedding night for the sex, tries to sneak into the bath with the girls while in Drake's body, and has a long Male Gaze moment upon first seeing Makimona. Towa and Reijo both call him out on this whenever he gets caught.
Informed Attribute: A lot of his good points aren't readily apparent at the start of the game courtesy of being overshadowed by his lewd thoughts, but manifest themselves over time as more of the main couple's backstories are revealed.
It's All About Me: Has a moment of this while in shock over The Reveal at the end of Chapter 3 that one of Toki or Towa must disappear and, even if they're okay with that idea, he isn't and loudly protests. He gets over it and takes on the burden of making the choice of who will remain by the end.
Jerkass: If the player makes such choices. Throughout the game, he can constantly makes passes at other girls, Toki/Towa's friends included, yet gets pissed whenever Ricardo tries to hit on her. He can be a Chivalrous Pervert without the "chivalrous" part half the time. Reijo realizes this and it's one of the reasons why she names him after various weeds. Toki also appears to be aware of it too since she will use it against him from time to time. He gets better as Character Development kicks in during the latter half of the game.
Mood Whiplash: He tends to ruin serious or poignant moods by saying the wrong thing either in an aside or out loud.
Non-Player Companion: He's controlled by the AI in battle but can be directed to use certain buffs or aim to trigger Chemistry when directed by the heroine. He also has his own HP pool but will automatically get back up after getting knocked out.
Only Sane Man: A lot of his internal commentary has him musing about the oddities going on around him.
Parental Abandonment: A brief conversation with Toki in Wicked Forest reveals that she found Drake abandoned as a pup.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Along with Eva, only he remembers the events of the game after defeating the final boss.
Sadistic Choice: He and, by extension, the player must make one in the normal ending: choosing which one of Toki or Towa to erase from existence. Doubles as a But Thou Must! if he laments that he can't choose.
Supporting Protagonist: While the game is more of Toki and Towa's story, it's still told from his point of view and he willingly joins the heroines in battle.
Taking the Bullet: Twice for Toki at the weddings in each of Chapters 1 and 2.
Talking Animal: After consuming a Babbleberry.
The Tease: He'll often try to scare Toki or Towa whenever they're in a haunted area. Toki always remains completely unfazed while Towa falls for it every time.
What Happened to the Mouse?: The game doesn't answer the question of if Drake can continue to speak whenever Zack's soul is not in his body after eating the Babbleberry.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His reaction upon Towa upstaging his Dying Moment of Awesome at the first wedding, and of course also learning that his bride has a Split Personality at the same time.

Toki and Towa

Toki Chronowind

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tae_toki.jpg

"We won't let you ruin our wedding!"

Voiced by: Kira Buckland (EN) / Kana Hanazawa (JP)

The crown princess of Kamza and the latest in its line of Timekeepers, capable of traveling through time and bending it to their will. She utilizes this power to prevent the events that lead up to the sudden attack on her wedding.

Artistic License – Gun Safety: In some wide shots, she can be seen leaning on her rifle.
Barbie Doll Anatomy: When she Time Leaps.
Beware the Nice Ones: Toki is one of the sweetest girls in the kingdom, but she will fight her way through anything threatening to get in the way of her wedding.
Blunt "No": Her usual response to Ricardo's proposals.
Dishing Out Dirt: Earth is one of her two specialty elements when it comes to magic.
Establishing Character Moment: Deciding to Screw Destiny and travel back in time to prevent the attack on the wedding and save her fiance's life.
Finishing Each Other's Sentences: She and Zack are often in sync with each other in events where she's the active heroine.
Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: She'll do this on rare occasions, such as when confronting Netherdrake and Moebius.
The Gunslinger: She specializes in rifle attacks for her physical damage, being capable of firing endlessly without needing to pause after three shots unlike Towa.
Hidden Depths: She's not entirely street smart, but she does know enough about Zack's Covert Pervert nature to use it to her advantage when she wants him to do something.
Innocent Innuendo: Her very first line is wishing they could "do it"^noteGet married right now.
Innocently Insensitive: She never seems to realize how harshly direct she can be at times.
Kill It with Fire: Fire is one of her two specialty elements.
Meido: One of her gallery images after trying on an outfit Zack brought back from Japang.
Nerves of Steel: She will almost never show fear. When Zack asks her why she isn't afraid of the ghosts in Cursed Forest at the start of Chapter 2, she replies that, as a princess, she was taught to "Never sweat the small stuff."
Out-of-Clothes Experience: When using her time travel ability. The only one of the three Time Leap-capable characters that exhibits this.
Red-Headed Heroine: Her long, red hair is her standout feature.
Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Toki has a tendency to say "Gunshot!" when firing her rifle in battle or "Rumble rumble rumble!" when casting earth magic.
Skewed Priorities: The one thing that will distract her from saving her wedding is the opporunity to obtain a swimsuit from a world-famous designer in one of the DLC quests.
The Straight Man: She plays this role in most of her comedy scenes.

Towa Chronowind

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tae_towa.jpg

"Nothing will stand in my way!"

Voiced by: Cristina Valenzuela (EN) / Eri Kitamura (JP)

A second soul who inhabits Toki's body that became bound to her while she was just learning how to use her time magic. While her existence is a secret, she manifests herself to fight off the assassins during the attack on the wedding to give Toki an opening to leap back through time and becomes a main character shortly thereafter.

Chaste Heroine: She refuses to kiss anyone other than Zack and not until their wedding. But she will give Zack her First Kiss if she's the active heroine before the final battle against Moebius (as she asks him to choose Toki and expects it to be the last thing she does before disappearing).
The Comically Serious: Most of her comedic moments come from her being rather willing to use her knife to solve her problems.
Establishing Character Moment: Manifesting herself and kicking the crap out of the assassins that attack the wedding, all while still in her dress.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Towa skirts the line on this one as her outward mannerisms do hide the fact of how kind she really is. Noted by Zack in an early dialogue when he thinks, "Man, she's scary, but I actually feel a lot safer with her around."
An Ice Person: Ice is one of her two specialty elements when it comes to magic.
Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: With Zack, especially in her normal ending wherein she re-enacts the "bride carrying the groom" scene often used to visually depict the trope.
Murder Is the Best Solution: She often has to be talked down from just outright killing her targets.
Naked Apron: One of her gallery images and also thanks to Zack bringing back a souvenir from Japang.
Shock and Awe: Lightning is her other specialty element.
Slasher Smile: In her menu artwork and the loading screen.
Training from Hell: Towa wouldn't have it any other way, especially since she'd rather spend her honeymoon at a cabin in snow-covered mountains because of the harsh conditions. This explains how Toki is in such great shape.
Tsundere: Towa, to the extent that she has one animation for 'turn away indignantly, then turn back and softly smile'.
Unorthodox Sheathing: In cutscenes, Towa's default knife-draw animation has her pull it out of its sheath, flip it into the air before her, and then catch it with her other hand. She also sheathes it in a similar matter. It can almost be considered a visual Catchphrase for her.
Wardrobe Malfunction: She tends to have the CG images where her clothes are falling or melting off.
What Does She See in Him?: Towa initially wonders that about Zack when she can clearly tell he's a bit of a pervert, but Toki will always defend his good points, especially the fact that he is honest and never goes back on his word. She soon realizes this and falls in love with him too.
What the Hell, Hero?: She'll give one to Zack for not taking their relationship seriously when he suggests they conceive a child right then and there during a Heart Event.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Towa is afraid of ghosts, bugs, and slimy things.

Applicable to Both

Act of True Love: In the final battle, if the heroine who was not chosen is the one to fight Moebius, she'll declare her intent to win because she loves Zack and the other heroine.
Action Girl: They don't wait to be told what to do. They take the initiative and beat up anything in their way.
Badass Adorable: With Toki leaning more towards the adorable side and Towa more towards badass, but both will exhibit traits of the other side on occasion.
The Beastmaster: Twisted. Toki and Towa believe they're this with Drake following their commands but, because Zack is inhabiting Drake's body and is in full control to willingly help them out, it doesn't fully apply.
Bond One-Liner: They'll occasionally deliver one of these based on the appropriate element when casting magic.
Childhood Marriage Promise: The driving force behind the plot, but not in the way one might initially think. The promise was made between Toki and Towa when they were kids and were only repeating the words of the ceremony as a means of declaring themselves "best friends forever," but still carrying enough cosmic force behind it to prevent Zack and Toki's wedding until the promise could be broken (or never made at all).
Curtains Match the Window: Toki has Red Eyes, Take Warning, while Towa gets Supernatural Gold Eyes.
Determinator: They'll go back in time as many times as it takes in order to have a happy and successful wedding.
Godiva Hair: The only thing covering their breasts in the scenes where Zack tries to peep on them in the shower after clearing away the steam.
Got Me Doing It: After exchanging dialogue with Moebius after he first appears, they briefly end up talking like him.
I Cannot Self-Terminate: They cannot undo the vow they made as kids on their own.
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Regardless of affection levels and whoever is active prior to the final battle, the active heroine will ask Zack to choose the other to remain. Also exemplified in gameplay as, even if the active heroine is not the one chosen, she will still fight the final boss with the same determination as a parting gift.
Hidden in Plain Sight: Toki has never made a public appearance, so she can go anywhere in town with most people not even knowing she's the princess. Even more applicable for Towa as her very existence is hidden from the public.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: By the time the party arrives at the point of 1 year before the wedding in Chapter 4, Moebius has erased their memories of the previous events in the game, but that doesn't stop them from knowing they have to defeat him.
Limited Wardrobe: Lampshaded prior to the battle with Moebiusdrake. Toki has several copies of her outfit while Towa mentions she just washes it whenever she takes a bath.
Love at First Sight: As a result of the Reset Button at the end of the game, the chosen heroine accepts Zack's marriage proposal immediately despite her believing they "just" met.
Meaningful Name: Toki and Towa literally mean "Time" and "Eternity" respectively. Their last name of "Chronowind" also plays into the time-travel plot.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Alongside each attack on the wedding becoming a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy because of their actions, they're especially hard on themselves for accidentally nullifying the escape clause of Reijo's deal with Netherdrake in Chapter 2.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: They are the Princess of Kamza and won't let anyone or anything stop their wedding.
Shower Scene: Several sidequests involve finding ways to clear the steam in the bathroom in order to get a peek at Toki/Towa while she's showering.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: During the fight with Moebiusdrake, they declare they have no problem with Zack loving both of them because he understands and loves them back.
Split Personality: Toki and Towa in the form of two souls in one body.
Sword and Gun: The princess uses a rifle for long range attacks, a knife for close-range. Toki and Towa specialize in one over the other.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Toki is classically feminine, whilst Towa is harder than Zack is.

Supporting Cast

Toki's Friends and Family

Enda

"Good moooooooorning~!"

Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh (EN) / Aoi Yūki (JP)

One of Toki's friends who constantly hangs out at her place to drink tea and enjoy cake. Not much is known about her backstory other than she and Toki have been friends for a long time.

Animal Motifs: She easily depicts a carefree butterfly.
A Day in the Limelight: She tags along with Toki/Towa several times due to wanting to see Ricardo, who she has a massive crush on, until he turns his affections towards her and she realizes he's a bit of a flake.
Flat Character: Has the least amount of screen time and development in the main cast.
Genki Girl: Her Establishing Character Moment is dancing into Toki's house with a big, "Good moooooorning!" and her energy level never really goes down from there.
Girlish Pigtails: Very long ones that she tends to grip whenever she's deep in thought.
In Love with Love: She spends a great deal of Chapter 1 swooning over Ricardo, but realizes near the end that he's got the same problem and it wouldn't be a good idea to get together with him.
Token Mini-Moe: Small, energetic, outgoing, and precociously cute? Yep, she fits the bill for the cast.

Reijo

"Huh? That voice...! Could it be... that slimy piece of pigweed!?"

Voiced by: Sarah Anne Williams (EN) / Yukana (JP)

Another of Toki's friends who comes from a very wealthy family, even though no one really knows just how her family got so rich. She also has an extensive knowledge on the names of weeds.

A Day in the Limelight: Chapter 2 focuses on her trying to cancel the deal she made with Netherdrake after his condition was to kill the princess at her wedding or give up what she cherishes most (also the princess because of their friendship).
Because You Were Nice to Me: Why Toki's friendship is so important to her.
Benevolent Boss: She makes sure to know all of her servants' names and personally deliver their paychecks when possible. Kaya also reveals that a lot of her money goes to the local orphanage and church.
But Thou Must!: Indirectly invokes one in the swimsuit DLC sidequest as, if the heroes try to give her the Racin Deluxe swimsuits, she'll reject them and everyone will default to the prototype swimsuits anyway.
Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: When she's under Netherdrake's control and stabs Toki at the wedding. She snaps out of it just in time to see the end result while holding the bloody knife.
Insult of Endearment: After smoothing things out with Zack after he helps her cancel her deal with Netherdrake, she continues to refer to him by various types of weeds, but uses the names of ones she likes.
I Just Want to Have Friends: She only wished for wealth in order to be on the same social level as Toki so they could be friends.
Meaningful Appearance: Her feathered cap that she wears outside helps showcase her wealthy look.
Morton's Fork: Forced into one in Chapter 2, asked to kill Toki or risk losing what she cherishes most. Zack, Toki, Towa, and Reijo all figure out that Toki is what she cherishes most, allowing them to turn the Catch-22 Dilemma on Netherdrake.
My God, What Have I Done?: After stabbing Toki during the Chapter 2 wedding scene, made even worse when the characters realize she wasn't doing it of her own free will.
The Nicknamer: Reijo will often refer to Zack as different types of weeds.
The Ojou: She puts on the air of a high-class noble, but it's all a front.
Rags to Riches: She made a deal with Netherdrake to get the wealth necessary to hit Toki's social group.
Rich Bitch: She has all the trappings of the trope, but it's all a front (and not even a particularly convincing one).
Secret-Keeper: She knew about Towa long before any of Toki's other friends.
Statuesque Stunner: By far the tallest of the girls her age and stands out as a result. Only the older Makimona is taller than her.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Becomes this with Zack after she overcomes her animosty towards him.
What Does She See in Him?: She's the most vocal about why Toki would be interested in a guy like Zack, especially after realizing that he had intentions to peep on them in the bath during his time as Drake before eating the Babbleberry.

Wedi

"As the planner of this wedding, I will not let you ruin the ceremony!"

Voiced by: Christine Marie Cabanos (EN) / Mamiko Noto (JP)

The third of Toki's main circle of friends who claims to be able to speak with a fairy. She is also the planner for the wedding itself.

A Day in the Limelight: She takes a prominent role in Chapter 3 in having set up the "from the future" password as well as braving Horror Forest to tame a golem so she can protect the main couple at the wedding.
Badass Adorable: She gains this cred thanks to her actions in Chapter 3, all without losing her kind personality.
The Beastmaster: She becomes one in Chapter 3 by managing to tame a Golem that allows her to pluck the flower from its head after recognizing her sincerity in wanting to protect the wedding. She names it Lemmy.
Cannot Spit It Out: She empathizes with Makimona in being unable to confess her feelings to someone she liked, and he found someone else as a result.
Cloud Cuckoolander: She comes off as this due to being a bit accident prone and talking about speaking with her fairy friend. Only it turns out said fairy friend is real.
Cute Clumsy Girl: She's accident prone but is super nice to everyone, so nobody ever gets angry at her.
The Klutz: She tends to trip on nothing and one of the DLC quests starts with fishing her out of the ocean after she fell in and dropped everyone's swimsuits in it.
Meaningful Appearance: She wears a red beret that adds to her cute look when outside.
The One That Got Away: She laments never working up the courage to confess her feelings to an unknown guy before he got together with someone else.
Rummage Sale Reject: Primarily because she really just doesn't care what she wears.
Took a Level in Badass: Invokes this in Chapter 3, going out of her way to make a bond with a golem to protect Toki and Zack at the wedding.

Makimona

"Who said the two of you get to live happily ever after!?"

Voiced by: Julie Ann Taylor (EN) / Aya Endo (JP)

A mysterious fortune teller who was the first to tell Toki that the wedding would be attacked and constantly re-appears throughout the story while seemingly connected with the major events that are happening.

Accidental Truth: She initially guesses that Toki is a member of the royal family and capable of time travel, but immediately dismisses the idea.
All of the Other Reindeer: She's afraid of becoming this if people find out she unironically likes Ricardo's cakes.
Bad "Bad Acting": Makimona doesn't fool anyone when she tries to act as a spirit medium for Reijo in Chapter 2, lamenting that she needs more training to actually channel a spirit. Subverted when she tries again in Chapter 3, starting with the act, but then getting possessed for real.
Bizarre Taste in Food: She is the only one in Kamza who legitimately likes Ricardo's awful cakes.
Brilliant, but Lazy: She's actually skilled in several trades, including being a certified jeweler, but prefers to take on the jobs that don't require her to actually work.
Cannot Spit It Out: She has no trouble holding conversations with mutual acquaintances or people who like her, but when it comes to her speaking to someone she's attracted to and confessing her feelings, she can't even get a word out.
Chekhov's Skill: Her second attempt to act as a spirit medium in Chapter 3 works... a little too well as she becomes possessed by an evil spirit that leads her to steal the Something Four.
Defeat Means Friendship: After her defeat in Chapter 3, she joins Toki's circle of friends for tea back at her place and even helps with creating a new set of Something Four.
Demonic Possession: Because she wants to use the Something Four for a selfish reason, she becomes possessed by a dark spirit and attacks the heroes at the end.
Entertainingly Wrong: Toki and Towa assume that Makimona must know something about the attack on the wedding in Chapter 1 because there was nothing supernatural about her prediction. There isn't anything supernatural about it; she just took a wild guess.
Epic Fail: She is so cripplingly shy when it comes to confessing her feelings that she let 382 guys she liked get away.
Green-Eyed Monster: Her jealousy at the heroes obtaining the Something Four leaves her open to being possessed by their dark side, turning her into the Chapter 3 boss.
Ms. Fanservice: She's tall with long hair, long legs, defined curves, a large bust, and an outfit that shows off all of the above. She checks every box.
New Job as the Plot Demands: Makimona has a different job every chapter that conveniently allows her to interact with the heroes.
Red Herring: The game hints at her being the true Big Bad in Chapter 3 when the main characters realize that meeting her in each time period led them to being attacked. It turns out to not be the case.
Unrequited Love: She's had a crush on 382 different guys but was never once able to confess her feelings.
Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Drake asks her this in Chapter 3, especially when she's not too serious about any of them. When she snaps and attacks the heroes, she laments that she has over fifty!

Eva

Toki's grandmother and mentor in teaching her her skills as a Timekeeper.

Abdicate the Throne: Prior to the events of the game she willingly left the royal family to live as a commoner.
Big Good: She ends up doing quite a bit for the heroes: Leading them to the Something Four, helping solve the mystery of the Moebius Loop, and risking her life to make it possible for the heroes to defeat Moebiusdrake.
Early-Bird Cameo: Eva appears in the wedding cutscenes long before she's encountered in-game.
Mentor Occupational Hazard: Subverted. Zack is surprised to see her alive and well during the normal endings, but she tells him that Leaping back 12 years and returning was no problem for an old pro like her.
Never Mess with Granny: She easily cows Ricardo into giving her a refund (and extra Plaza stamps) after trying one of his cakes and- like everyone else- nearly dying as a result.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: In the normal endings, her response to Zack being surprised she's still alive reveals that she also remembers the events of the game even after the Reset Button.

Ricardulce

Ricardo

"Today, I have made an oath to make an oath to you!"

Voiced by: Kevin Delaney (EN) / Tomokazu Sugita (JP)

The apparent leader of the Assassins Guild... Fan Club- but rather a local baker with an infamous reputation with his two longtime friends. He falls head-over-heels for Towa after she defeats him and proposes to her or Toki every time they meet up.

BFS: He wields a two-handed broadsword in the one battle against him.
Casanova Wannabe: He proposes to Toki or Towa every time he sees one of them, only to be turned down (Toki), have a knife pulled on him (Towa), and have Drake chomp on his head (both). When he tries the same thing on Enda, she also turns him down (despite him being her type) because she realizes how flaky he is.
The Chew Toy: If there's physical pain to be dished out in the name of humor, Ricardo is the target. Mainly because he does not stop attempting to propose to Toki/Towa and draws Zack's ire. He'll often find himself at the wrong end of Towa's knife on top of that if he pushes her too far.
Gratuitous Spanish: In the English dub, most often when he finds his head between Drake's jaws. Gratuitous English in Japanese.
Lethal Chef: Ricardo's cakes are so bad that they cause whoever eats them to witness a Near-Death Experience and grant them the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. Used as a Plot Point.
- Subverted twice: First when it's revealed that he initially was a great baker, but then got inspired (by Drake no less) to start using fish as ingredients and thus ruining his cakes from then on. It takes Toki/Towa's grandmother's complaint in the third chapter for him to take this seriously and go on a training trip to "pretend" learn how to make good cakes. It surprisingly worked. Second is in the ending when, after the Reset Button is pushed, he's never inspired to use bad ingredients and becomes the best baker in the kingdom.
Repetitive Name: His full name is Ricardo Ricardo, as revealed when he proposes to Toki to give her his last name late in Chapter 3.
The Rival: Attempts to become this to Zack for Toki and Towa, but both of them never waver.
True Companions: With Linus and Lucy, especially after they followed him to the Northern Canyon to confront the Assassins Guild at the end of Chapter 1.
Truth in Television: Ricardo's "pretend baking" strategies when training are not as silly as they may first sound as, so long as it's being done correctly, it's entirely possible to learn proper muscle memory for various actions when training before physically handling something.

Linus

Voiced by: Shintarou Oohata (JP)

One of Ricardo's oldest friends who he invited to work with him after establishing his bakery.

Verbal Tic: He tends to end a lot of his sentences with man, man!

Lucy

Voiced by: Kate Higgins (EN) Yu Shimamura (JP)

The other of Ricardo's oldest friends. Like Linus, he invited her to work with him after opening his bakery.

The Great Spirits

Old, New, Borrowed and Blue: The individual Something Four break down to these.
Punny Name: All connected to the respective Something Four that they watch over.
Theme Naming: Also connected to their respective pieces of the Something Four.

Olden

Voiced by: Dave Mallow (EN)

The Keeper of Something Old. In the English dub, he sounds like a stereotypical "grizzle-toothed prospector" character.

Crazy-Prepared: He bought a bunch of extra ventilators just in case one of them breaks down when using them for peeping purposes.
Dirty Old Man: The main couple immediately figures out that getting a high score on his compatibility quiz involves selecting the answer with the highest degree of innuendo.
Incoming Ham: All of his scenes begin with him shouting a hearty, "Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaw!"
Reasonable Authority Figure: While the correct answer to his honeymoon question is spending it at a tropical island, he'll still give points if Zack chooses a snowy cabin while Towa is active because that's what she wants.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: He recognizes the party in Chapter 4 after they obtained Something Old in Chapter 3, despite Chapter 4 taking place 11 months earlier.

iNew

Voiced by: Sam Riegel (EN)

The Keeper of Something New and always on top of the latest trends.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: He talks about things that were becoming trendy in the real world at the time of the game's release, while the heroes are utterly clueless as to what those things actually are.
Shout-Out: His name is one to the Apple iPod and iPad line of products.

Burrough

The Keeper of Something Borrowed.

Berserk Button: Snaking- or borrowing things and never returning them. She holds a grudge against Toki's ancestor for doing just that with Something Borrowed and sends her off to the Royal Crypt to bring it back.
The Smurfette Principle: The only female among the Great Spirits.

Draquoise

The Keeper of Something Blue.

Lampshade Hanging: Even he admits that just sending the heroes on a Fetch Quest to get a cake for him wasn't much of a trial.
So Bad, It's Good: In-Universe, how he feels about Ricardo's cakes and requests one before handing over Something Blue.

Brilliant, but Lazy: Eddie's a great writer, but also tends to just wander off at times.

High-School Sweethearts: They initially worked together in their Newspaper Club in high school and, after completing their sidequest chain, get married.

Kilia

The smartest second grader in Kamza and recognized as a boy genius, though with very little actual life experience. His sidequests involve him working up the courage to confess his feelings to an older woman he fell in love with.

Likes Older Women: It takes the entire game to learn who he's in love with. Turns out to be Makimona.
Mundane Solution: When asked how to solve the problem of the bathroom getting full of steam when taking a shower, he tells the heroes to simply open a window.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: His entire sidequest chain involves learning about and finding ways to confess his love.
Wise Beyond Their Years: In terms of book smarts, he can freely and accurately talk about a human body's chemical reactions to various stimuli.

Book Worm: All of his sidequests revolve around how he just wants to read in peace.
Captain Obvious: His statements on what would happen to a cat in a box if he added another. Played for Laughs as a Bait-and-Switch.
Shout-Out: His name and what he's doing are ones to Schrödinger's Cat at the start of each of his sidequests, only to pull a twist on the experiment with a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome statement on what would happen.

Antagonists

The Assassins Guild

As a Whole

The group responsible for the first attack on the wedding. Traveling back in time reveals their existence is a bit of an open secret in Kamza as they're allowed to exist, have a fan club, and even a magazine dedicated to them.

Ancient Order of Protectors: As revealed after their defeat, the kingdom originally set up the Assassins Guild in the Northern Canyon to scare other people away from going there because far too many people were warring over the gems that could be mined there.
I Gave My Word: They are notable among those who know about them for never telling a lie. They can, however, change their mind.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The alchemist who gives a sidequest to the heroes and tells them about the Guild's secret history indirectly gives one of these to the heroes at the same time for having destroyed the Guild.

Couier

Voiced by: Kevin Delaney (EN)

The first actual member of the Assassins Guild the party encounters.

The Quiet One: He used to be this until eating a Babbleberry. His stating this is how the heroes learn about them.
She Knows Too Much: What he declares to Toki/Towa upon attacking her.

Silencio

Another one of the Assassins Guild members the party encounters and fights after denying there is a planned attack on the wedding.

Catchphrase: "It is the Assassins way..." is about all she ever says.
Meaningful Name: All in one with Punny Name and The Quiet One.

Mute

A robotic member of the Assassins Guild who, like Silencio, denies any plans to attack the wedding.

Casting Couch: He makes mention of this during the fight against him on Panela Isle.
Mute: ALSO, I REALLY LIKE COUCHES. BUILD ME A NICE COMFY CASTING COUCH, AND I CAN ARRANGE YOUR BIG DEBUT HERE AND NOW. [...] DON'T YOU KNOW? IN THE ASSASSIN INDUSTRY, IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THE CASTING COUCH.
Ironic Name: Tends to talk a lot despite being named "Mute."
Wake-Up Call Boss: The first Robot-type enemy fought in the game who quickly teaches that guarding is just as important as dodging and needing to find the right window to use skills or close in for melee combat.

Roboboss

The leader of the Assassins Guild and ultimately the one who issues the orders to actually attack the royal wedding... after getting sick of being accused of planning the attack and thinking Ricardo's peace offering cake was an attempt to kill him.

Then Let Me Be Evil: The Assassins Guild has no intention of attacking the royal wedding... until they are repeatedly accused of intending to attack the royal wedding. Roboboss gets fed up with it (and is given a cake by Ricardo) and decides they'll just launch the attack anyways.

Netherdrake

Voiced by: Michael McConnohie (EN)

A grand dragon that lives on an island near Kamza that is capable of granting wishes in exchange for whatever he asks.

Card-Carrying Villain: He declares that one of his joys in life is watching damsels in distress trying to solve an unsolvable riddle.
Disproportionate Retribution: He put Reijo in a position where she's forced to kill Toki simply because she beat him too many times at Old Maid.
Evil Sounds Deep: He has a very deep, guttural voice that's designed to instill fear into those he talks to... until getting possessed by Moebius in Chapter 4.
Jerkass Genie: He's capable of granting wishes for a price, and he likes to make that price as sadistic as possible. If the person doesn't match the price to his satisfaction, he will take over their body and force them to do his bidding.
Sore Loser: One of the reasons why he gave Reijo a Morton's Fork situation to kill the princess is because he never got over losing to her at Old Maid too many times.
Villainous Breakdown: He gets a hilariously epic one in Chapter 2 when the heroes threaten to report him to the Better Business Bureau.

The sand that lives in the hourglass on Toki's belt and houses the magic that allows her to travel through time.

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In the form of Moebiusdrake, an enormous dragon that can be seen from anywhere in Kamza.
Attractive Bent-Gender: Moebius in human form looks and sounds like a female but is still referred to as a male.
Berserk Button: Do not refer to Sanders as "just" sand! Though, until Chapter 4, he can't do much beyond complaining about it.
Big Bad: After being dragged along on one too many trips through the Moebius Loop, Sanders snaps and decides to take over Time itself in order to do what he wants, becoming Moebius as a result.
Evil Sounds Deep: As Moebiusdrake, his voice returns to being deep and masculine.
Graceful Loser: Takes his final defeat in stride and tells the main couple that he'll be watching them to make sure they make their future a happy one.
Hannibal Lecture: Delivers one of these to Zack during the Moebiusdrake fight, calling him out for his lustful attitude on potentially marrying two women at once.
"It" Is Dehumanizing: One of the reasons why he hates being called "just" sand.
Mundane Utility: Moebius wants to control time in order to... hang around in bars drinking and watching ballgames every night.
Nigh-Invulnerable: Twice.
- As Moebiusdrake, he can't be defeated so long as the vow that Toki and Towa made as kids remains in place, prompting Eva to return back in time to stop the vow from happening.
- In the final battle, he will become invincible at half health until the heroine closes in and utilizes a Final Strike to destroy part of his staff.
Orcus on His Throne: After transforming into Moebiusdrake, he tells the heroes he'll wait for them to challenge him.

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Discussed during the boss banter in the final battle against him if the heroine not chosen to remain is the one fighting him. At the end, Zack laments, "You just don't get it."
