[[folder:The Protagonist]]
-> ''It's - you're my best friends, you know?''
Never given any official name or appearance, [[PlayerCharacter The Protagonist]] is a high school student and one of the four main characters in ''The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen''.
The Protagonist is not as eccentric as some of their friends, is a little lazy at times and is unmotivated at school though is nonetheless a foundation in their friend group. They care a great deal about the wellbeing of their friends, acting (depending on the player’s choices) as a support and listening to their problems. They aren’t afraid to take responsibility and make tough calls despite their personal hangups, which often sees them taking burdens onto themselves.
----
* TheFaceless: The Protagonist's face is never seen, even in the CGs that otherwise include the entire cast.
* {{Foil}}: For Gabriel. The Protagonist is unmotivated and lazy when it comes to their academics but is good at solving problems on the spot in tense situations and is the emotional centre of the group. Contrast to Gabriel who is well organised, happy to lead and the one to prepare and come up with most of the plans, preferring to plan ahead of time.
* TheHeart: Can be this for the group depending on the player’s actions. They’ll frequently check in on all their friends, helping them through their personal struggles.
* NotAMorningPerson: Though not as notorious for it as Victoria.
* NoNameGiven: The Protagonist has no official name, only the one that the player gives them.
* PlayerCharacter: They're the point of view character for the story.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bread. Has an obsession over it to the point that characters tease them over subsisting on nothing but bread.

Simply known as Gabriel, this high school student is one of the four main characters in ''The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen''. Always seen in his signature red T-shirt and black jeans, Gabriel sports an unusual hairdo with an iconic tuft at the top of his head. His eyes are brown. At 178cm tall, he towers above Hannah but barely tops Victoria.
Gabriel is the level-headed leader of the pack. Cool, calm and collected, he can be relied upon in seemingly any situation. He prioritises the wellbeing of others and strives to make ethical choices. In conversation he seems to be quite independent, not wanting to burden the player with his troubles. Some persistent probing will reveal that Gabriel has self-doubts when it comes to his love life.

Contrast to The Protagonist who is unmotivated and lazy come their academics but good at solving problems on the spot in tense situations and is the emotional centre of the group.
* InLoveWithLove: The root of Gabriel’s relationship problems is that he is in love with the idea of love, rather than of finding a partner who is right for him.
* TheLeader: A Level-headed type. He's the person constantly making plans, organising everyone and their trips together. Once Kalnash shows up he's the person to try and keep everyone calm and look for solutions.
* IdiotHair: Though despite the hair he's probably the most level-headed and responsible of the cast.
* NiceGuy: Gabriel genuinely loves helping out his friends and doing things for other people, often at cost to his own resources and time.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Gabriel’s default response to anyone thanking him for any of the events he organises or funds.

[[caption-width-right:250:''I’m not exaggerating when I say that literally every idea that’s ever been made before this point is worse than this one!'']]
Victoria V. Valentine is a high school student and one of the four main characters in ''The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen''. Sporting her iconic sailor outfit, cape and baseball bat, Victoria exudes an aura of aggressive rebellion. She has several piercings, including multiple earrings and a nose ring, and is frequently portrayed as tough-speaking and thuggish. Her eyes are blue. At 176cm tall, she is only just under Gabriel’s height.
Victoria is the muscle of the group. Wild and unpredictable, she would much rather attack a physical problem head-on than pussyfoot around it. Anything involving an extended effort, such as doing schoolwork, is an absolute deterrent for Victoria. Extended conversations will reveal her hidden insecurities and that she isn’t always as tough as she seems.
----
* AlliterativeName: Victoria V. Valentine
* BerserkButton: Harming her friends. In particular if [[spoiler: Hannah is ever killed.]]
* [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]: She’s the most physically capable of the group and the first to jump in and threaten violence or break into somewhere. The other characters - somewhat jokingly - agree she’d be able to beat them up.
* BookDumb: Spends most of her time skipping school and struggles to make even passing grades when she does attend.
* DumbMuscle: Victoria tends to solve problems by directly confronting them and tends not to think about the consequences of doing so.
* FieryRedhead: She’s quick to anger, head-strong and confrontational.
* {{Foil}}: For Hannah. Victoria tends to be loud and confrontational while Hannah is shy and not very confident in herself.
* HairTriggerTemper: She doesn’t take criticism or insults very well and it’s quite easy to provoke her. [[spoiler: As Kalnash does on multiple occasions]].
* JapaneseDelinquent: Her seifuku with a coat worn over it, carrying a bat everywhere, and her lack of respect towards authority figures and society at large make her a ringer for this trope, though no ethnicity for characters or location for the story to be set in are ever given.
* NotAMorningPerson: Victoria has this reputation in her friend group. Serves as part of an EstablishingCharacterMoment for her.
* OddFriendship: With Hannah. Victoria is a loudmouth and hot-headed delinquent. Hannah is quiet, anxious, and hates confrontation. Each sees the other as their best friend but doesn't realise the other feels that way.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Several times it is mentioned that Victoria is quite, uh, ''talented'' at starting fires.
* SailorFuku: Victoria wears one, though it appears to be a case of [[JapaneseDelinquent personal style]] rather than an actual uniform.
* SirSwearsALot: In this case, more like Lady Swears-a-Lot.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tmdolk_hannah.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:''Well, there’s one reason why you should read more.'']]
Simply known as Hannah, this high school student is one of the four main characters in ''The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen''. Garbed in a blue suit with a white blouse and green tie, Hannah’s outfit is reminiscent of a Japanese school uniform. Her large glasses are circular and serve to frame her bright green eyes. At 160cm tall, she is short of stature and dwarfed by her friends Gabriel and Victoria.
Hannah is the quietest member of the group. In contrast to the others, she is a lot less assertive and it takes some time for her to voice her thoughts. Hannah harbours many anxieties. She is sweet and well-meaning, but her fragility sometimes poses an obstacle. Extended conversations with Hannah will reveal the reasons behind her insecurities, providing the player with a chance to potentially offer some reassurance.
----
* BookSmart: The most studious and education-driven out of all the characters and is able to spout pieces of trivia that she has learned.
* BrainyBrunette: She's easily the most well read and BookSmart character of the group and has the hair to match.
* {{Foil}}: For Victoria. Shy, academically smart and lacking confidence compared to Victoria’s loud and confrontational attitude.
* GamerChick: Hannah's the gamer of the group and can even be found playing games on her phone during a conversation event.
* OddFriendship: With Victoria. Hannah is quiet, anxious, and hates confrontation. Victoria is a loudmouth and hot-headed delinquent. Each sees the other as their best friend but doesn't realise the other feels that way.
* ShrinkingViolet: She's by far the quietest member of the group, not having a lot of confidence in herself and often has trouble speaking up to the point where she feels that her friends rarely listen to her.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: Advocates planning and caution while being the BookSmart member of the group.
* CowardlyLion: She is often scared and anxious in regards to everything, and though it might take her a while to get there Hannah ultimately does stand up despite her nervousness - be it confronting her friends when they dismiss her suggestions or [[spoiler: standing up to Kalnash and killing them in one instance]].

[[caption-width-right:250:''Oh, what I wouldn't have given to see that!'']]
Lily Kosen is a secondary character in ''The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen'', despite her prominence in the game's title. She wears a lavender hoodie and beret, has striking white hair and red eyes.
Not much is known about Lily due to her lack of screen time but she has a significant impact on the rest of the cast. A year prior to the game’s events she was killed as the result of an incident involving demonic possession and the ripples from that event affect her friends and the plot of the game to date.
----
* HospitalVisitHesitation: It’s shown during a flashback that Lily’s friends find it difficult to visit her in the hospital due to hating seeing her sick and feeling like they’re unable to do anything to help her.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Lily coughs up blood in the prologue, as a hint to her terminal illness
* NotTheIllnessThatKilledThem: Lily does not die of her illness though she does have a terminal one.
* PosthumousCharacter: Lily is possessed by Kalnash within the first few minutes of the game. Most of what we learn of her is from anecdotes from the rest of the cast or from a few brief flashbacks.
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Despite only having a few minutes of screentime before succumbing to DemonicPossession she's the titular character.

Kalnash is the antagonist in The Many Deaths of Lily Kosen. Kalnash’s true appearance is never seen as they spend the game looking like the deceased friend of the main cast.
Kalnash is cruel and spiteful, determined to torment and eventually kill the cast seemingly for their own amusement.
----
* CompleteMonster: Kalnash is depicted as completely irredeemable as a demon who actively wants to kill and play with the cast.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Kalnash regenerates Lily’s body whenever killed, though the process takes at least several hours.
* {{Sadist}}: Kalnash goes to extreme lengths to toy with the cast, frequently taunting them and going out of their way to kill them in as painful and personal a manner as possible.
* SuperStrength: To a minor degree. Kalnash isn’t strong enough to hoist cars above their head but is stronger than Lily’s build would imply and is able to toss aside or trivially [[NeckLift lift other characters up with a single hand]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Though this trope would be subverted for the case of Lily.
