!! Others

[[folder: Asher L'écuyer]]
[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asher.png]]

Fenic's adoptive father and the President of Cloudport. Kickstarted the events of the plot after a mysterious group came after Fenic, and stranded her in Market Square.

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Because Tahmonai came looking for her mother, and he apparently promised her to keep her away from them. He also couldn't retrieve them because he broke the crystal keyed to the Market Square portal and couldn't open it again.
* ParentsAsPeople: He's a well liked President, and his idea of greeting a foreign dignitary is an affectionate hug. But Fenic also has a lot of hate directed at him for (as far as she's aware) abandoning her in another world.

[[folder: Fenic, The Lost Princess]]
[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_3.png]]

Fenic's mother, also named Fenic. She [[DeathByChildbirth died giving birth]] to Fenic.

* DeathByChildbirth: Died giving birth to Fenic. This is despite the fact that she was immortal.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Why she left Tsul-Aset before Partition is completely unknown.
* HasTwoMommies: She was raised by the Empress and a Wildren mother.
* {{Immortality}}: Seemingly Complete Immmortality, as God told her mother she would never be harmed or die. The fact that she died giving birth to Fenic is a major mystery.
* TragicKeepsake: Fenic's yellow scarf was originally hers.

[[folder: Selin, The Dead Princess]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/figures.png]]

Selin, sister to Fenic, was once an heir to the throne of Tsul-Aset, but was killed over a thousand years ago by Wilder when she refused to defend herself. However, in the modern day, a girl who looks identical to her has also been seen multiple times, including traveling with Clarissa.

* ActualPacifist: Selin held by her convictions to never hurt anyone and died for them, refusing to defend herself against invading Wilder.
* AGlitchInTheMatrix: Her first proper appearance has her appear as a soundless apparition covered in pixels along with Clarissa.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: She seems to be wearing socks and nothing else on her feet.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: When shown directly, she always looks exhausted or on the verge of tears.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Her eyes appeared during a page transition in the prologue.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Like her sister, Selin is a hybrid of Wilder and Shades, and lacks a tail, horns, or animal ears.
* TheLostLenore: Selin is one to Tahmonai, who hopes to resurrect her by finding her sister.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: A blue one, once again matching the dead princess.

[[folder: Xiaolei]]

A moth boy with a flair for theatrics and helping people. His introduction makes him seem very similar in personality to Fenic.

* BigDamnHeroes: His first appearance is vaulting over a large bird that's cornering Fenic, yanking the flower out of her hair, and chucking it away, which causes the bird to leave. Considering the speech he makes immediately afterwards, these sorts of rescues seem to be something he likes doing.
* BossSubtitles: During his introduction he gets TheHero. Notably, he's the first person to get that subtitle without a question mark.
* ColorMotifs: As his personality reflects Fenics, his colors reflect Fenic's color scheme. His antannae and shoes are yellow and his wings are mostly red.
** He and Fenic are even wearing similar outfits upon meeting - a white long-sleeved top with dark blue short legwear.
* MeaningfulEcho: Fenic calls him [[https://www.goodbyetohalos.com/comic/021102103 'dude']] when they first meet and his reaction is ''very'' similar to the first time someone called Fenic [[https://www.goodbyetohalos.com/comic/prologue-28 'lady']]. The gendered terms in both pages are even colored-coded.
** After saving Fenic he starts to introduce himself the same way Fenic did as the Angel of Market Square, complete with bolding. Unlike Fenic, he hasn't had a lot of practice and keeps switching titles around.
-->'''Xiaolei''': 'Cause I'm Xiaolei - the '''Angel''' of, uh... no, no, the '''Knight''' of... the knight who's... the '''Hero''', uh... I saved you. Still workin' on the monologue. No need to thank me.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Fenic tends to be drawn a few shades darker than white characters like Leo and Fran, but a few shades lighter than black characters like Louis. Flashbacks show that her mother had a similar skin color, that her maternal aunt was light skinned, and that her maternal grandmother, the Empress, was dark skinned, indicating Fenic is likely multi-racial.

* MercyKill: This is what she thought she was doing when [[spoiler:Fenic manifested her halo, which is usually a DeadlyUpgrade and immediately followed by .]]

* LivingLieDetector: Her magic takes the form of this, termed Aletheia, an ancient Greek word that can be variously translated as truth, reality, or disclosure. It isn't flawless though, and Enae has to be able to see someone to determine changes in their aura.

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Always looks exhausted or on the verge of tears.

The protagonist of the story. Fenic was unceremoniously dumped in Market Square five years ago by her father, who promised to return one day. Over time, she made friends and grew into an AllLovingHero, realizing she was a lesbian transgender girl in the process. Fenic is an anomaly in Market Square, as she is the only character who has [[LittleBitBeastly human ears and no tail]]. This is because she is a hybrid of Wilder and Shades.

* WrongContextMagic: Played for drama. Her magic is referred to as Pankinesis, and has a lot more applications than a typical Shade's magic, and Fenic can have her Halo appear without becoming a Goner like other Shades. It's not entirely clear if it's because she's a descendant of the Empress of Shades, if it's because she's a HalfHumanHybrid, or because she's protected by God, but whatever the reason, it leads to some major misunderstandings.

A rogue knight of Tsul-Aset, who has been searching for Fenic to protect her from Tahmonai. [[spoiler: Who's their adoptive parent, making Enae the de facto Princess of Tsul-Aset]].

* CallingParentsByTheirName: [[spoiler: Refers to Tahmonai as Mona]]

* RebelliousPrincess: [[spoiler: Doesn't get much more rebellious than seeking out the true heir to the throne to depose your own parent]].

* ThirdEye: Has a third eye above her other two, though doesn't seem to have any of the other spiritual aspects associated with the trope.

----
* AnIcePerson: The other half of her magic.
* HealingHands: Her magic takes this form, though it's also crossed with AnIcePerson as 'Healing Cryogensis'.

* ColorMotifs: Associated with a golden pearl color to give a LightIsNotGood impression.

* LovecraftianSuperpower: Their Paint Body magic manifests as Tahmonai's body melting and shifting in an unsettling way, and a flashback shows that they can scale it up to {{Kaiju}} scale.

A rogue knight of Tsul-Aset, who has been searching for Fenic to protect her from Tahmonai. [[spoiler: Who's their parent, making Enae the de facto Princess of Tsul-Aset]].

* HumanoidAbomination: Their body can twist and distort itself in frightening ways.
