!!!Voiced by: MaiKadowaki (JP), ? (EN)

* ApologizesALot

!!Cordelia von Feuerbach (Cory)
!!!Voiced by: EriKitamura (JP), WendeeLee (EN)

Rorona's closest friend. She comes from a rich family, but doesn't like it when others bring that fact up.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: According to her puppets, she used to impulsively attack any stranger who tried to talk to her.
* BoobsOfSteel: Inverted-she's physically one of the weakest fighters in the game and her best battle skills are devoted to healing.

* TheGadfly
* HeavySleeper: Well, since she spends most of her time napping...
* {{Meganekko}}
* MoochingMaster: Oh, is she ever. She will not lift a finger if she can get Rorona to do something instead. And if she can bust her chops while she does it, all the better. She's basically an internet troll turned into a game character.
* MundaneUtility: She can bend the laws of physics via alchemy to make... a bathing suit for a ghost. Lampshaded by Rorona, of course.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[SarcasmMode congrats Astrid for turning Rorona into a little girl in Atelier Meruru!]]
* TallDarkAndBishoujo
* TricksterMentor

* {{Lolicon}}: some players accused Sterk as this, for the amount of ShipTease he gets with Rorona and the fact that they're the closest thing to the series' OfficialCouple.
* PerpetualFrowner: Spend most of the game wearing this expression, which understandably tends to scare Rorona.
* PutOnABus: An optional one happens after [[spoiler:defeating Suni Sterm]], in which he will be out of commission for 80 days.

* TallDarkAndHandsome
* TroubledButCute
* [[spoiler:TwiceShy: With Rorona]], assuming you aim for his flag of course.
* {{UST}}: Poor Sterk. By the end of Atelier Meruru's True Ending, [[spoiler:Rorona is never cured and he'll get older and older...and there's no sign he'll going for Astrid or Esty.]] Of course, [[FanonDiscontinuity the fans just ignore it]].
