!Jillian Zamussels

The former Princess of FAQ, [[spoiler: and now, as of its restoration, its ''Queen'' ]], Jillian was never the heir her father had hoped to pop, and in many ways prefers life as a barbarian, but she still despises Stanely for ending her side. Her...interesting...relationship with his second-in-command does nothing to abate this.

The protagonist of this story, Parson was a geeky gamer, fat slob, and all-around loser on this little world called Earth. He expresses a major desire to live in game worlds and command a real battle. Coincidentally, certain forces on Erfworld decided they needed a perfect general, and cast a spell to summon one from any plane of existence. And thus, his story begins.

!Janis, Grand Abbie of the Magic Kingdom

-->''"'Striving for the impossible' doesn't mean 'toiling in vain.' It means'' growth.''"''

Janis is one of the most influential Casters in the Magic Kingdom. Her origin is unknown, but her main motive is clear: to bring peace to Erfworld. She has revealed little about her scheming in that direction, but current information indicates that she may be running a conspiracy or two to that end.

* StartXToStopX: Her main plan to stop war is to introduce a general so powerful that he breaks the game. Sounds unfortunately like [[NukeEm nuclear weapons]] in the modern world, doesn't it.
* TheEmpath: None of her powers have been explicitly shown, but Hippiemancy is the magic of people and relationships, so it can be safely assumed to include some form of this.
