* ChekhovsGunman: Made her first appearance in "Heartbeat Clocktower," accompanied by the word "Acedia".

* DomesticAbuser: He's emotionally and financially abusive towards Margarita, which is not helping her already fragile mental state ''at all''. Is it any wonder she decides to kill him?

* StepfordSmiler: She smiled at all times, but her true nature was lost after years of being exploited.

* OldRetainer: He's Shaw Freezis' most trusted aide and serves him loyally for over fifty years. [[spoiler:But it's subverted when he shows that he didn't care about Shaw at all, and was dealing with Père Noël under the table. This could be true of the real Bruno, though.]]

* IdolSinger: A young, popular singer in Lucifenia and elsewhere in Evillious; an oddly egregious example given [[VictorianBritain the kind of setting at the time.]]

* GenreSavvy: She was able to guess beforehand that [[spoiler:First Santa Claus would decide to bump her off once she'd outlived her usefulness and she took Gatt's offered chance to run away with a sword that could ''change her face''.]] She also knew that it would be pointless not to tell Julia about [[spoiler:changing Mayrana's face, since she'd notice the next time they met anyway.]]

!!Kaspar Blankenheim
[[quoteright:147:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caspargift_9591.png]]

The Marquis of Toragay and Margarita's childhood-friend turned husband, although by the time they married he was only using her for her money. A lecherous playboy who frequently cheated on Margarita, he was the first victim of her poison.

->'''Represented by''': KAITO

* ALadyOnEachArm: In one of the images in the PV for "Gift from the Princess Who Brought Sleep," to emphasize his lechery.
* AssholeVictim: As a greedy playboy who uses and openly cheats on his devoted wife, nobody's really upset that he's dead. He was also [[spoiler:a black market dealer who made profits for Père Noël.]]
* ArrangedMarriage: To Margarita.
* BlueBlood: As the Marquis of Toragay, his family line an offshoot of the Marlon royal family.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Margarita. While they used to be friends as children, as adults Kaspar only was interested in her because of her fortune. It's even implied he had this with countless other prospects for marriage.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: He gave Margarita a wooden ring when they were children, promising to marry her, although Margarita believes he might have done the same thing with many other wife candidates.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Both blue, as expected for a man related to the Marlons.
* {{Greed}}: Most of the things he does is motivated by getting more money to do with as he pleases. His marriage to Margarita, his selling off of all her stuff, [[spoiler:his joining a criminal organization...]]
* GoldDigger: Only married Margarita for her money.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: A chain-smoker of cigarettes who spends a ''lot'' of money on tobacco; it's the first given cause of his death.
* ImpoverishedPatrician: Because of his horrible spending habits, he's too broke to even afford servants--even marrying Margarita doesn't help in the long run.
* TheInsomniac: Not to the extent of his wife, but once he gets under progressively more stress he is unable to sleep; such makes Margarita convinced that he'll be happy if she [[InsaneTrollLogic puts him to sleep forever.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Openly cheats on his wife (using her dowry to do so) and only uses her for appearances. [[spoiler:Also a member of a criminal organization.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: His effect on Margarita and elsewhere is felt throughout the novel, even getting his own character profile, but he's dead before he can get any screen time.
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: While on the surface he's merely a rich playboy who fools around with his wife's fortune, he's also [[spoiler:a member of Père Noël, as "Second Dealer."]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Again; played by KAITO. [[spoiler: His resemblance to Adam is part of why Margarita/Eve loves him so much.]]
* YourCheatingHeart: A known playboy, even after he was married.

-->"This isn't the end of this case"
-->Also see [[spoiler:Elluka Clockworker]]

An investigative reporter for the Shuburke newspaper, she's the protagonist of the ''Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep'' novel. Trying to get a story on the Flower of the Plateau in Merrigod leads her down a path into Toragay's black market, Père Noël, and Margarita's homicidal "Gift-giving." She and her younger sister are the great-granddaughters of Shaw Freezis.

->'''Represented by''': Megurine Luka

* BlackSheep: In terms of ambition, she's removed from the other members of the Freezis Family, many of whom have high positions in the Foundation. She's also removed from them all socially; after [[spoiler:Shaw dies]] she's led in to see him through the back way, with the explanation that the relatives didn't want to see her. [[spoiler:This is probably because she isn't a member of the family at all...]]
* DissonantLaughter: Breaks out in laughter during Kaspar's funeral when she sees Margarita and realizes how much she looks like Mikulia and Platonic, even noting she's making a fool of herself by laughing. [[spoiler: It's one of the hints that she's Elluka, who does this elsewhere in the series as well.]]
* IntrepidReporter: Working for the Shuburke newspaper, she does quite a bit of legwork all over the novel.
* FrameUp: [[spoiler:After Shaw's death, she's framed for causing the Lioness burning incident. This is doubled by the fact that the one originally framed was Elluka, her real identity.]]
* {{Nepotism}}: Downplayed. As Shaw Freezis's great-granddaughter, she has an easier access to the Freezis Foundation's resources and powers than the average reporter, which she uses to her advantage.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Although she looks like a fresh new face, she makes several allusions to being much older and often feels weary as a result of her age. [[spoiler:Since she’s Elluka, this is even more true than others suspect.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Serves as a blue to Heidemarie's red.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As Elphes she and her sister have green hair, albeit Hanne's shade is closer to blue. [[spoiler:Subverted because it's hair dye, but double subversion because her natural hair color is ''pink''.]]

* BlueBlood: As an earl in Elphegort.
* TheFaceless: His eyes are obscured in his two depictions, emphasizing his status as a minor character.
* HappilyMarried: To Mikulia following her departure to Elphegort. [[spoiler:To be more precise, Eve posing as Mikulia.]]
** [[spoiler:Since his cause of death is suspected to be poison, it might have gone sour in the end.]]
* InterclassRomance: He fell in love with and married a commoner.
* PosthumousCharacter: Displayed briefly in "The Flower of the Plateau," but his main significance to the plot is during the ''Gift'' novel, hundreds of years later, when discussing his death at his wife's hands.

Mikulia's handler while she worked as a prostitute; eventually, he tracks his former employee down and tells everyone what a lustful woman she was. [[HeKnowsTooMuch This ends about as well as expected.]]

* AssholeVictim: He's beastly, uses women, and seems to have only come to ruin Mikulia's reputation--his murder isn't very unexpected.
* FatBastard: Depicted as quite fat and repugnant in the "The Flower of the Plateau" [=PV=], fitting with his repugnant personality.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He knew about Mikulia's past, so naturally she murdered him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Like with Gilbert he's showed in "The Flower of the Plateau," but his main significance to the Chronicles at large is when his murder his discussed centuries later.

[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6cdbb8c91da446c18cd1d873328b200d.png]]

* ChildhoodFriends: She had a close friendship with [[spoiler:Lemy during her days at the orphanage.]]
* DamselInDistress: Kidnapped by a serial killer child; Heidemarie makes it her mission to save her. [[spoiler:It's actually more complex than this, however--her manager Ton was exploiting her to make money and Lemy is the one that, in his way, tries to rescue her from him.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Shares a shocking resemblance to Riliane, and apparently plays it up in her concerts. [[spoiler:Later subverted, since this was all Corpa's idea, having her face changed by Seventh Magician.]]
* IdolSinger: A young, popular singer in Lucifenia and elsewhere in Evillious; an oddly egregious example given [[VictorianBritain the kind of setting at the time.]]
* NiceGirl: She's a good-natured and talented young girl; it even shocks Elluka, given her resemblance to Riliane.

!!Ton Corpa

A merchant in Lucifenia who's Rin Chan's manager and the manager of the circus Cirque du Lune, adopting Rin Chan out of the orphanage to become a "diva" in Lucifenia.

The sequel novel revealed, however, that he may have deserved it more than initially thought.

* FatBastard: He's got a big stomach and has a corpulent, pig-like appearance.
* {{Greed}}: His motivation, to make as much money off the children he adopts as possible.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Many of the children he took on to do work for him later died of various "accidents" and diseases. There's no evidence it was anything more, but his body count adds up.
* WouldHurtAChild: He seems perfectly willing to exploit them for money and later kill them off.

!!Marx Felix
-->"We...all of us...have been deceived!"

Margarita's father and Toragay's local doctor; although doting on his daughter, he uses her marriage to Caspar as a means to retake the status of the Felix family and is the second victim of her poisoning.

----
* AlmostDeadGuy: Awakens from his coma just long enough to (not quite) tell [[spoiler:Elluka]] that [[spoiler:Margarita is the Clockworker's Doll,]] before he has a seizure and dies.
* BlueBlood: Previously his family had been the reigning earls over Toragay before losing power.
* ConvenientComa: Put in a coma by the poison given him, so he can't give away any of the plot details early. He does reawaken, albeit for only a minute.

An authority on pharmaceuticals, particularly poisons, residing in Lucifenia. A doctor who examined Marquis Kaspar Blankenheim at his death, he continually lends his expertise to Hanne's investigation into Toragay.

* BlueBlood: Part of the prestigious Rogzé family as seen in the ''Story of Evil''.

!!Yarera III

A dim-witted thug who attempts, with his brother, to kidnap Lemy Abelard in the ''Fifth Pierrot'' novel and is seemingly thwarted by the previous Fifth Pierrot. He's a descendant of Yarera of the ''Story of Evil'' and doesn't [[GenerationXerox differ from his ancestor]] in any respect.

* BullyingTheDragon: Attempting to kidnap ''Julia Abelard's'' son, naturally they'll got stopped by a member of Père Noël. In all fairness, they didn't know she was First Santa Claus and the "pierrot" who defeated them [[spoiler:was actually Ayn Anchor dressed like a clown.]]
* GenerationXerox: He's exactly like Yarera, right down to having a younger brother named Zusco.
* WouldHurtAChild: He punches Lemy in the face to make him shut up.

!!Zusco Jr.

A dim-witted thug who attempts, with his brother, to kidnap Lemy Abelard in the ''Fifth Pierrot'' novel and is seemingly thwarted by the previous Fifth Pierrot. He's a descendant of Yarera of the ''Story of Evil'' and takes after his grand-uncle to an alarming extreme.

* BullyingTheDragon: Along with Yarera III he tries to kidnap the son of ''Julia Abelard'', First Santa Claus--although they didn't know this at the time.

->'''Represented by''': Hatsune Miku
-----
* AlasPoorVillain: In the "Gift" novel, despite all the devastation she'd caused, her death is played up as especially tragic with [[spoiler:Elluka]] trying desperately to save her at the very end.
* ArrangedMarriage: To Kaspar. She insists it was a HappilyArrangedMarriage, but she's lying.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:She died around her birth, and it was only due to Irina's intervention that Margarita survived. Or rather, that everyone thought she survived.]]
* BrokenBird: Being treated almost like a decorative doll her whole life did this to her.
* ChekhovsGunman: Made her first appearance in "Heartbeat Clocktower," accompanied by the word "Acedia".
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Kaspar were actually childhood friends, but grew distant in their adulthood. Their marriage is an arranged one.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: With Kaspar (see his entry). She tries to excuse him forgetting it in both the song and her inner monologue (although it only makes him look worse).
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:The real Margarita died shortly after birth; the one the audience sees is Eve Moonlit, having hypnotized everyone, even herself, into believing the doll was Margarita.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: She herself is not a doctor, but gained her knowledge of medicines from watching her doctor father treating his patients. She slips her poison, unnoticed, successfully without anyone having any clue about what the hell is wrong with the Toragay citizens.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Much like Mikulia of an earlier arc, Margarita deconstructs the typical fairy-tale princess and the mentality that goes with it, falling in love with someone without really knowing them, having something extraordinary happen at their birth, and proving that everything does not automatically become better when princesses are added on.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her song describes the events that pushed her over it, namely marrying her love Kaspar and coming to realize that not only does he not love her or respect her, but he solely saw her as a means of getting money.
* DrivenToSuicide: Drinks her own poison after the decimation of her town (that she caused).
* FauxAffablyEvil: Goes hand-in-hand with her StepfordSmiler status; on the outside, she's kind, generous and tolerant. On the inside, she's stressed out, resentful and ''stark raving mad''.
* ForHappiness: Her claimed motivation is both to achieve happiness for herself and make everyone else happy by putting them to sleep.
* KarmicDeath: More like Karmic ''Suicide''; she does herself in with the very same poison she used to kill everyone else.
* LazyBum: A moral example; she didn't want to "work" to obtain her happiness, so she took the "easy" way out and put herself and everyone else out of their misery. Additionally, several parts of her song note a refusal to face reality. Instead of opening up about her problems, she chose to ignore them and pretend they didn't exist.
* MadnessMantra: Her inner monologue in the novel has an entire section of nothing but "I am the Sleep Princess" written over and over...
* MadScientist: Her constant refinements of Gift for the purpose of making her sleep are all tested in others, who promptly die or end up in critical condition.
* MasterPoisoner: She even outclasses the Rogzé family, managing to poison Kaspar, his mistress, and her father without anyone realizing it, and refining the Gift until [[spoiler:it became an airborne contagion that could have killed all of Evillious.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[RuleOfThree Once again]], crossed with GeniusBonus; her name’s based on Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, a French SerialKiller who poisoned her family to take their fortunes and poisoned poor people during hospital visits. [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory Hey, wait a minute!]]
* MissingMom: Her mother died while giving birth to her. [[spoiler: And the real Margarita died at her birth as well.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: While a member of Pere Noel as "Third Sleep Princess," she isn't aware of what the organization really is or what Kaspar and her "friend" have been doing, even as she makes poisons for them. She treats her poisoning people as a good thing for helping them sleep.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: In regards to the criminal activities of her friend, she's both remaining willfully ignorant of Père Noël and just plain pretending to be completely dumb about it around others. This confuses Hanne a good deal.
* {{Patricide}}: Her second victim is her own father, whose death starts off people's suspicions that there's something going on in Toragay.
* PinocchioSyndrome: Feels inhuman due to her being unable to sleep, and by the end believes drinking her Gift and finally sleeping will make her human. [[spoiler:Being a doll, though, all it does is make her remember her true nature.]]
* TheResenter: Deep down, she hates and resents everyone for using her all of her life.
* TheSleepless: Has a rare condition called "Sleepless", as such she has never in her life slept. [[spoiler:That's because she's a doll, and is unable to sleep]]
* StepfordSmiler: She smiled at all times, but her true nature was lost after years of being exploited.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to being always smiling, helping out at an orphanage, and the pity she gets from being married to a cheating GoldDigger, few people suspect of her ties to Père Noel and her experiments with Gift.
* WouldHurtAChild: After Kaspar and her father, some of her first victims were children in an orphanage where she worked.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's a shade of green in the narrative.

!!Egmont

The proprietor of the La Bula Pharmacy in Toragay.

-----
* DrFeelGood: He pushes energy tonics for people who are otherwise completely healthy (like Hanne.) Turns out he even got the tonic on the black market, and he admits he doesn't have much medical experience.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's a minor character who shows up in a total of three scenes, but he's the one who [[spoiler:discovers the Millennium Tree sap can be used as a medicine and saves Toragay.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He sold Margarita most of the ingredients she needed for her poison, not suspecting her of any wrongdoing.

A former midwife and the director of the Charity Institute in Toragay who takes care of the orphans living there, as well as a friend of Margarita's, who often visits the Institute.

* BigSleep: [[spoiler:Closes her eyes and slumps in a chair as she succumbs to the Gift, "sleeping" like many of the victims.]]
* FreakOut: Understandably she becomes hysterical when the children in her care begin dying from the Gift, screaming and then walking around in a daze.
* FriendToAllChildren: She dedicates her life to taking care of the orphans in the Institute, and was a midwife before that--she has a close bond with them all.
* ParentalSubstitute: Not only to the orphans, but also to Margarita, who lost her mother when she was born. She's understandably angry with Kaspar and all the women he cheats on her with.

The innkeeper of the local inn in Toragay, she’s also the mother of a resident coachman. She regularly allows Hanne to stay at her inn during her investigation.

-----
* CasualDangerDialogue: She has a tendency for remaining calm in situations where she should naturally be upset—while her inn is under attack by a loose-cannon cop, when she's [[spoiler:one of the few surviving plague victims holed up in a basement,]] etc.
* MenDontCry: Claims she won’t have sympathy for her son, a grown man, when he’s crying tears of joy to see her alive. That said, she's also crying.
* OnlyOneName: As with most residents of Elphegort, she has no surname.
* PerpetualFrowner: Always has a scowl or a grimace on her face, and intimidates a lot of people because of it.

!!Unknown Coachman

The son of Toragay's innkeeper, a coachman who often carries Hanne in her many treks between Aceid, Calgaround, and Toragay.

* NiceGuy: The man's a gentle soul who cares deeply for his mother and helps those in need; he's even described as having an outwardly kind appearance.
* NoNameGiven: He's only referred to as the coachman and son of Brigitta, the innkeeper.
* TearsOfJoy: When he [[spoiler:finds his mother among the surviving Gift victims, he weeps at her feet to see her alive.]]

----
* BigDamnHeroes: He and Ayn try to be this for Hanne and Heide when the sisters are [[spoiler:imprisoned by Bruno Marlon on false charges,]] but the girls were already preparing to save themselves when they showed up. At the very least he gave Heide her fireworks gun back.
* DaChief: He's the head of Justea, the international division of the World Police, to Heidemarie's CowboyCop.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sure, he suspends Heidemarie from her investigations [[spoiler:on Bruno's orders,]] but that's also because of how much damage she does as a cop. He also refuses to go along with [[spoiler:Bruno's plan to frame her for the deaths at the orphanage.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being ordered by him to twist the law one too many times, he eventually aids in bringing Bruno to justice.]]

----
* TheAlcoholic: His EstablishingCharacterMoment is wandering onto a crime scene drunk and rambling that he isn't; interestingly he isn't any worse investigating drunk than he is sober.
* MrExposition: Shares the role with Ayn throughout the ''Pierrot'' novel; heck, they summarize the entirety of the ''Gift'' bonus story together.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Ayn's blue; visually they're opposed even further in that Willus has black hair, Ayn white.

[[quoteright:147:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/margyavatar_2521.png]]
-->"Now, sleep"
-->Also see [[spoiler:Eve Moonlit]]

The main antagonist for the "Sloth" arc of the series; she's the daughter of the Felix family, her father a doctor. She was arranged to be married to her childhood friend Kaspar Blankenheim, who turns out to be a GoldDigger. Unhappy to be in such condition she tries to escape by sending everyone in the town (and after there’s no one left, herself) into a "deep sleep".

->'''Represented by''': Hatsune Miku

* AlasPoorVillain: In the "Gift" novel, despite all the devastation she'd caused, her death is played up as especially tragic with [[spoiler:Elluka]] trying desperately to save her at the very end.
* ArrangedMarriage: To Kaspar. She insists it was a HappilyArrangedMarriage, but she's lying.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:She died around her birth, and it was only due to Irina's intervention that Margarita survived. Or rather, that everyone thought she survived.]]
* BrokenBird: Being treated almost like a decorative doll her whole life did this to her.
* ChekhovsGunman: Made her first appearance in "Heartbeat Clocktower," accompanied by the word "Acedia".
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Kaspar were actually childhood friends, but grew distant in their adulthood. Their marriage is an arranged one.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: With Kaspar (see his entry). She tries to excuse him forgetting it in both the song and her inner monologue (although it only makes him look worse).
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:The real Margarita died shortly after birth; the one the audience sees is Eve Moonlit, having hypnotized everyone, even herself, into believing the doll was Margarita.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: She herself is not a doctor, but gained her knowledge of medicines from watching her doctor father treating his patients. She slips her poison, unnoticed, successfully without anyone having any clue about what the hell is wrong with the Toragay citizens.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Much like Mikulia of an earlier arc, Margarita deconstructs the typical fairy-tale princess and the mentality that goes with it, falling in love with someone without really knowing them, having something extraordinary happen at their birth, and proving that everything does not automatically become better when princesses are added on.
* DespairEventHorizon: Her song describes the events that pushed her over it, namely marrying her love Kaspar and coming to realize that not only does he not love her or respect her, but he solely saw her as a means of getting money.
* DrivenToSuicide: Drinks her own poison after the decimation of her town (that she caused).
* FauxAffablyEvil: Goes hand-in-hand with her StepfordSmiler status; on the outside, she's kind, generous and tolerant. On the inside, she's stressed out, resentful and ''stark raving mad''.
* ForHappiness: Her claimed motivation is both to achieve happiness for herself and make everyone else happy by putting them to sleep.
* KarmicDeath: More like Karmic ''Suicide''; she does herself in with the very same poison she used to kill everyone else.
* LazyBum: A moral example; she didn't want to "work" to obtain her happiness, so she took the "easy" way out and put herself and everyone else out of their misery. Additionally, several parts of her song note a refusal to face reality. Instead of opening up about her problems, she chose to ignore them and pretend they didn't exist.
* MadnessMantra: Her inner monologue in the novel has an entire section of nothing but "I am the Sleep Princess" written over and over...
* MadScientist: Her constant refinements of Gift for the purpose of making her sleep are all tested in others, who promptly die or end up in critical condition.
* MasterPoisoner: She even outclasses the Rogzé family, managing to poison Kaspar, his mistress, and her father without anyone realizing it, and refining the Gift until [[spoiler:it became an airborne contagion that could have killed all of Evillious.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[RuleOfThree Once again]], crossed with GeniusBonus; her name’s based on Marie-Madeleine-Marguerite d'Aubray, Marquise de Brinvilliers, a French SerialKiller who poisoned her family to take their fortunes and poisoned poor people during hospital visits. [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory Hey, wait a minute!]]
* MissingMom: Her mother died while giving birth to her. [[spoiler: And the real Margarita died at her birth as well.]]
* ObliviouslyEvil: While a member of Pere Noel as "Third Sleep Princess," she isn't aware of what the organization really is or what Kaspar and her "friend" have been doing, even as she makes poisons for them. She treats her poisoning people as a good thing for helping them sleep.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: In regards to the criminal activities of her friend, she's both remaining willfully ignorant of Père Noël and just plain pretending to be completely dumb about it around others. This confuses Hanne a good deal.
* {{Patricide}}: Her second victim is her own father, whose death starts off people's suspicions that there's something going on in Toragay.
* PinocchioSyndrome: Feels inhuman due to her being unable to sleep, and by the end believes drinking her Gift and finally sleeping will make her human. [[spoiler:Being a doll, though, all it does is make her remember her true nature.]]
* TheResenter: Deep down, she hates and resents everyone for using her all of her life.
* TheSleepless: Has a rare condition called "Sleepless", as such she has never in her life slept. [[spoiler:That's because she's a doll, and is unable to sleep]]
* StepfordSmiler: She smiled at all times, but her true nature was lost after years of being exploited.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Due to being always smiling, helping out at an orphanage, and the pity she gets from being married to a cheating GoldDigger, few people suspect of her ties to Père Noel and her experiments with Gift.
* WouldHurtAChild: After Kaspar and her father, some of her first victims were children in an orphanage where she worked.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It's a shade of green in the narrative.

[[quoteright:147:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caspargift_9591.png]]

* TheQuietOne: She notably speaks very little compared to the other figures in the novel, as part of her [[TheStoic stoic]] character.

->'''Represented by:''' MEIKO

* AbusiveParents: Subverted; given how she was portrayed as manipulating him in the "Fifth Pierrot" song and Irina's villainous nature, it was believed that she was emotionally abusive to Lemy, but she truly does care about and treat her son well despite also using him in her organization.
* AllWitchesHaveCats: Due to being Irina.
* BadBoss: Threatens to burn her subordinate, Gatt, to ashes if he doesn't weed her garden, when it's not even in his job description.

* IdenticalStranger: To Meta and Germaine. [[spoiler:Is in fact using Germaine's body as a medium, the trope still applies in that Germaine looks like Meta.]]

* ParentalSubstitute: She adopts Lemy when he's six years old.
* SexySantaDress: Shown in a silhouette for the "Five the Pierrot" video, she wears one as "First Santa Claus."
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The beginning of the ''Gift'' novel has her as the mayor of Calgaround. [[spoiler: The truth is worse. She's the ''democratically-elected president of Lucifenia,'' although by the latter part of Part 2 in Pierrot her true nature is made more clear to the public.]]

Not too bright and has a penchant for mischief; he is also a reincarnation of Hansel.

->'''Represented by''': Kagamine Len
-----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Lampshaded in his song, he's a silly looking boy who ''stabs people''. This is, in fact, intentional; in universe, he's scariest because of how ridiculously he's dressed as opposed to what he does.
* ChildhoodFriends: He had a close friendship with [[spoiler:Rin during his days at the orphanage; this is why he "kidnaps" her later on and why Julia doesn't simply kill her.]]
* CuteAndPsycho: Although not so psycho initially, as he becomes used to killing he becomes this trope more and more.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Does this to Julia.
* TheDitz: According to the Demon of Gluttony, he's still as daft as his previous incarnation, Pollo. While not the dumbest character in the series, he still lacks a lot of basic understanding for the events going on around him and so only goes by the command of others, like his mother.
* DyingAlone: When he's finally shot by Eighth Sniper, he's supposedly abandoned by the voice in his head Ney and dies calling out for her. [[spoiler:Although he didn't actually die at that point.]]
* EnfantTerrible: A prepubescent SerialKiller.
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Is initially a sweet boy, but due to [[spoiler: being an HER]] he very quickly takes to murder once he's started.
* GeniusDitz: Despite being so slow-witted, he's extremely competent in murdering people.
* HearingVoices: After discovering the Glass of Conchita in his mother's treasury, he starts hearing ''Ney's'' voice in his head.
* ForTheEvulz: This is deep down his true motivation for killing; [[spoiler:as an HER]] he has a natural love of killing and quickly becomes desensitized to stabbing people.
* IronicEcho: The line "Turning black to red" refers to both him killing in the night, and his own death during one of his nightly missions.
* ItsPersonal: He helps go on a killing spree of prostitutes in part because Julia tells him that his original mother was, the same mother that left him to die.
* KnifeNut: His main weapon is a silver knife.
* MommasBoy: Tells everything to Julia, and will do almost anything for her.
* MonsterClown: Wears a jester outfit. One of the most adorable examples of this trope, which makes him all the more unsettling.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Partially due to his stupidity, Lemy believes in his mother's KnightTemplar rhetoric that all the evil people are her opposition, while she's purely trying to save the world.
* OrphansOrdeal: Nearly drowned by his birth mother and grew up in typical Victorian orphanage.

* FatBastard: Depicted as quite fat and repugnant in the "The Flower of the Plateau" [=PV=], fitting with his repugnant personality.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He knew about Mikulia's past, so naturally she murdered him.
* PosthumousCharacter: Like with Gilbert he's showed in "The Flower of the Plateau," but his main significance to the Chronicles at large is when his murder his discussed centuries later.

* IdolSinger: A young, popular singer in Lucifenia and elsewhere in Evillious; an oddly egregious example given [[VictorianBritain the kind of setting at the time.]]

->'''Represented by''': Camui Gackpo

* AntiquatedLinguistics: Talks in a formal and archaic dialect typically associated with samurai; in-universe, it's associated with a certain region of Asmodean.
* {{Bishonen}}: Another Gackpo character described as having a beautiful face.
* ContinuityNod: Being a purple-haired swordsman with the name Gatt and a second name "Venom," he is most certainly a reference to his ancestor, Gast Venom, of the ''Story of Evil'', whose name in turn is a reference to their ancestor, Sateriasis Venomania.
* FamousAncestor: His ancestor Gast, whose skill and infamy as the Demon of Asmodean is much more well remembered than Sateriasis Venomania by the Gift era, and shapes Gatt's life accordingly.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Like all the Gackpos, he has long purple hair.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: When he works in the library he wears a cloth around his head and face to disguise his appearance, though it's torn enough to show his hair.
* ParryingBullets: Is able to deflect bullets with his sword.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: He's inherited his stubborn and extremist personality from Gast--although being discriminated against due to his background might also have something to do with that.
* SonOfAWhore: His mother being a prostitute and his infamous ancestor Gast makes it difficult for him to rise higher in the ranks of the Lucienian military.
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: He masquerades as a librarian whose only crime is the illicit purchase of rare books, in order to set Hanne on the path to Toragay.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he does he believes is necessary to create a better world with Père Noël.
* YouShallNotPass: Later on in the ''Fifth Pierrot'' novel he tries to pull this on Elluka, with predictably poor results.

!!Mayrana Blossom

* GenreSavvy: She was able to guess beforehand that [[spoiler:First Santa Claus would decide to bump her off once she'd outlived her usefulness and she took Gatt's offered chance to run away with a sword that could ''change her face''.]] She also knew that it would be pointless not to tell Julia about [[spoiler:changing Mayrana's face, since she'd notice the next time they met anyway.]]
* {{Greed}}: Similar to Second Dealer, she's in Père Noël for the money and doesn't care what she has to do for it.
