History Characters / AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky

** Several [[MultipleEndings Alternate Endings]] show Ivy [[spoiler:remaining in Ubiquity's computer simulator for the rest of eternity like Raccoon did, abandoning her allies (even when they need her most) in favor of living with her illusion of Mint]].

* NotSoDifferent: From Raccoon, they both lived most of their lives in complete isolation, are reserved in the company of others, and are self-reliant to the degree of finding living and relying on others to be strange. [[spoiler:Ivy realizes that if she never had Mint in her life, she would have ended up being exactly like Raccoon.]]

A young revolutionary starry-eyed with ideas of rebellion. He is introduced into the story post time-skip, where he's traveling with Rutger and Oliver to find someone. Gainer is the best support caster in the game. He can be played as a secondary physical attacker with guns as well, able to add a little more damage with Ivy, or he can use magic and support Yvette with doing magic damage with bows. Either way, he's most often used as the impromptu healer with his amazing mutli-target healing spell, or as the buffer, keeping the party in tip-top shape.

The bodyguard to Yvette. He is a dedicated tank, able to take damage and give a bit back in turn. Oddly for such a class, as his damage output and speed put him somewhat below Ivy and Yvette in terms damage potential, he also excels in using tricks and traps learned in his early years training to thoroughly debilitate the enemy. On the other hand, he can also forgo his tricks to go all-out and do massive damage to foes, at the cost of being unable to stop attacking until he is killed or the battle ends.

* SinisterScythe: One of her last and best weapons is a scythe. It has the highest amount of physical power of any weapon, but as it is two-handed, prevents Ivy from using shields.

The main protagonist of the story, a young girl who tries to look after her sister after their father dies.

Ivy's younger sister, a spirited and loving young girl whose optimism brings out the best in Ivy.

The Grandfather of Mint and Ivy who does his best to make up for lost time with them.
