[[folder: Twyla]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Catherine Cavadini

A teenage girl who was chosen by Meriloft to become one of Mog Chothra's sacrifices, but was passed over by Mog Chothra itself during Meriloft's Maiden Feast.

* FantasticAngst: Because being successfully sacrificed is viewed as a great honor for those living in fear of the Mogs, she is completely bummed out at not getting devoured by Mog Chothra, leaving her too ashamed to face her family.
* HiddenDepths: Though her only purpose in life was to become a sacrifice, it's revealed in Act 2 that she's also a really great seamstress.
* HumanSacrifice: Like all potential Maidens.
* MissedTheCall: Ended up not getting eaten by Mog Chothra even though all the other Maidens were. It's a bit of a sore spot for her.

[[folder: Harmn'y Lightbeard]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jack Black

The leader of Meriloft and a spiritual guru who advocates the practice of "lightness" in all things, which involves giving up one's earthly goods. Being the leader, he has gotten the entire town to follow in this practice as well, going so far as to cut off access to the surface. He spends his time meditating high above Meriloft while leaving the day-to-day running of the town to his disciples.

* Cult: How Meriloft is run under his leadership is essentially this, with himself at the head.
* [[spoiler: ConMan: Though he asks that his followers donate everything to free themselves of their burdens, he himself is a huge hoarder, and his flying cloud is nothing more than a massive junk pile being kept aloft by an advanced engine.]]
