14	[[quoteright:334:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monicaoscarcollage.png]]
15	Sophie's best friend. She was born into a decently well off family, and she's a talented girl capable in both studies and fencing. She's very serious about everything, and acts politely. She and Sophie are childhood friends, and while she's always pointing out Sophie's faults, she's also very willing to help. She actually has quite a liking for singing, and can be found practicing in secret at times. She often visits Sophie's house to eat sweets, but she also cleans the place up in exchange.

17	Voiced by: Creator/AyaSuzaki (JP), Creator/EricaLindbeck (EN)

19	* BeautifulSingingVoice: Sophie mentions how much she likes to hear Monika sing at church. Part of Monika's character events explore this talent.
20	* CrutchCharacter: She'll be dealing most of your damage until you get to the point where you can upgrade your weapons.
21	* ReligiousBruiser: One of the more deeply religious characters and simultaneously one of the more physically capable party members.

28	!!Oskar Behlmer
29	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a17_oskar.jpg]]
30	Sophie's best friend, and the son of a grocer. He's an optimistic guy who doesn't care about minor details. He has a special ability to hear the voices of plants, and his knowledge of plants is also vast. Oskar loves plants, and he's quite passionate when it comes to them. He's lazy when it comes to exercise. He's always filled with confidence, but caves in rather easily.
31
32	He returns in ''Firis'' as obsessed with plants as ever. Sometime in between the two games, he's managed to lose some weight, while also befriending a new plant named Chelsea.
33	----
34	Voiced by: Creator/SeiichiroYamashita (JP), Creator/ErikKimerer (EN)
35
36	* BigFun: A chubby boy who's also one of the game's main sources of ComicRelief. He's lost weight by ''VideoGame/AtelierFirisTheAlchemistAndTheMysteriousJourney''.
37	* BridalCarry: In the last part of his personal storyline, Monika ends up poisoned by pollen in the Forest of Fairies and Oskar carries her out like this.
38	* CombatMedic: Can heal allies with ''Relaxing Herb''.
39	* FormerlyFat: Apparently, Oskar can burn fat very easily, explaining the shocking difference in appearance between ''Sophie'' and ''Firis''. Liane is quite jealous of this ability.
40	* RollingAttack: His special attack, ''Harvestamp''.
41	* ShovelStrike: Fittingly for a plant lover, his weapon of choice is a shovel. He mentions in a conversation with Sophie and Logy that he prefers a shovel since it saves him from having to carry an extra piece of equipment and he can reset any dirt that gets displaced during battle to help the local plants.
42	* SpinAttack: ''Spinning Shovel''
43	* TalkingToPlants: Oskar is obsessed with plants, and even claims to be able to talk to them. [[spoiler: It seems to be true as of the end of his quest.]]

46	[[folder:Julio Sebald Leidenschaft]]
47	!!Julio Sebald Leidenschaft
48	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a17_julio.jpg]]
49	A knight from the country of Adalett who originally came to Kirchen Bell seeking the help of Sophie's grandmother. He works for the church and vows to keep Sophie safe.
50	----
51	Voiced by: Genki Ookawa (JP), Creator/RobbieDaymond (EN)
52
53	* {{BFS}}: His weapon is a rather large two-handed sword.
54	* BigDamnHeroes: His first appearance is cutting down a demon to protect Sophie.
55	* DeclarationOfProtection: He vows to makes sure Sophie isn't hurt in their fight against the dragon. It'll probably be his dialog for the rest of the game when you talk to him.
56	* GracefulLoser: One of his lines after being defeated is a pained "Well...done."
57	* HolyHandGrenade: His special move a slashing a cross that explodes in divine power.
58	* ThePaladin: A ReligiousBruiser knight? Check. Bonus damage against demons? Check. A desire to help people? Check. One of his abilities even references Paladins.
59	* ReligiousBruiser: A powerful swordsman who works for the Church.
60	* SmallStepsHero: He wants to help the people around him rather than serving a country.

63	[[folder:Corneria]]
64	!!Corneria
65	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corneria.png]]
66	A girl who opens a mass production shop in Kirchen Bell. She's an alchemist like Sophie, but her ability is to duplicate objects. However, using her ability causes her body to shrink as a toll, so she tries not to overuse it. She's a very easygoing person who lives life at her own pace. She decides to become famous to find her father, who she has never known, and currently runs a warehouse store. She returns in ''Lydie & Suelle'', still on a search for her father.
67	----
68	Voiced by: Creator/YuiKondo (JP), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (EN)
69
70	* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: In ''Lydie & Suelle'', if you're having financial problems in the later parts of the game, chances are Corneria's the main cause of them; the higher the quality of the item goes, the more she charges, and unlike in ''Sophie'', refills aren't free. This is to the point where a max-quality N/A spirals completely into "impractical" tier for a player, because while the item itself may be potent, the sheer cost of maintaining it is prohibitive.
71	* DisappearedDad: She hasn't seen her father in a long time, which is why she runs a shop: she seeks to make herself famous for her services, so that her father will hear about her and know where to find her. [[spoiler:She pulls it off at the end of ''Lydie & Suelle'', where it turns out her father had gotten lost because he'd used his own powers to shrink too much.]]
72	* EquivalentExchange: Corneria's item duplication powers drains away her body's mass little by little as she uses it, causing her to slowly shrink. She drinks a lot of milk in order to counteract this effect.
73	* ItemCaddy: Her duplication ability allows her to use a weaker version of an item without depleting its uses.
74	* MakeMyMonsterGrow: In ''Lydie & Suelle'', she ends up victim to an experimental medicine made by Roger that makes her grow so big she blows a hole in the atelier's roof. The twins eventually have to pass off the incident as having been AllJustADream.
75	* OlderThanTheyLook: Late in ''Lydie & Suelle'', she goes drinking with Sophie, where the bartender refuses to serve her alcohol due to her childlike appearance—despite being in her mid-twenties.
76	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Drinks lots of milk in order to reduce the shrinking effect of her duplication alchemy.

79	[[folder:Leon]]
80	!!Leon
81	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leon_78.png]]
82	A traveling tailor who appears in Kirchen Bell as both a shopkeeper and playable character. Leon can craft and enhance armor.
83	----
84	Voiced by: Creator/MayumiIizuka (JP), Creator/EricaMendez (EN)
85
86	* CleavageWindow: She has a rather prominent one in the front of her dress.
87	* DoNotCallMePaul: "Leon" is actually named [[spoiler:Amelia Leonmeyer]], however, she rejected that name when [[spoiler:she fulfilled her dream of being the greatest tailor, only to find herself feeling unsatisfied, leading her to abandon her past identity.]]
88	* GenderBlenderName: She's not Leonie or Leona, but Leon. [[spoiler: It's actually an abbreviation of her real name: Amelia Leonmeyer]].
89	* TheFashionista: Well she is a clothier.
90	* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her handmade fancy dresses don't seem to hinder her at all in combat.
91	* MotiveDecay: [[spoiler:She wanted to make clothes so spread joy to people, but somewhere along the lines wanted to become the greatest clothier in the country instead]].
92	* NaginatasAreFeminine: Her weapon is more of a normal spear than a naginata, but it fits her elegant and graceful style in a very similar way.
93	* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: [[spoiler:Her dream was to become the greatest clothier, but she still felt unsatisfied once she finally achieved her goal. It's subverted when she realized she really wanted to make people happy]].
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Harol Simens]]
97	!!Harol Simens
98	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harol.png]]
99	The town clock maker. He inherited a clock shop after his father retired, but he's unserious about his work. He prefers to make his living through gunsmithing instead. He's a very sarcastic person, and speaks harshly about people, but he's actually caring and helpful inside. He's always concerned about Sophie, who he's known for a long time.
100	----
101	Voiced by: Creator/TarusukeShingaki (JP), Creator/DavidVincent (EN)
102
103	* BrilliantButLazy: Capable of making powerful guns in a setting where they are uncommon at best, [[spoiler:and eventually does start repairing clocks.]] However, he has almost no ambition when it comes to actually running his shop.
104	* TheGunslinger: Although he's a clockmaker, he'd rather make guns, which he uses in battle.
105	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is quite abrasive at first, but becomes much nicer later on. This is best shown when [[spoiler:he flat out refuses to make springs for Placta's doll at first, but changes his mind when Sophie says "You're the only one I can rely on."]]
106	* LooksLikeCesare: Tall, thin, pale, and with perpetual bags under his eyes.
107	* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:Part of his lethargy towards clockmaking comes from knowing he'll never be better than his genius father. He does manage to overcome this mindset, and eventually learns that his father had to practice to get where he did, not rely on natural talent]].
108	* ShoutOut: His offensive 300% Chain special, which has him freeze time and surround the target with throwing knives, is suspiciously similar to an attack performed by Dio Brando in part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. One could also claim his occupation as a clockmaker in addition to time stopping and knife throwing could be a shout-out to [[Franchise/TouhouProject Sakuya Izayoi]]

111	[[folder:Fritz Weissberg]]
112	!!Fritz Weissberg
113	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fritz_4.png]]
114	A former mercenary who works as a traveling puppeteer and doll maker. His dream is to perform the ultimate puppet show using a script penned by his daughter. He lends his abilities to create Plachta's doll body.
115	----
116	Voiced by: Creator/KenyuuHoriuchi (JP), Creator/KeithSilverstein (EN)
117
118	* CoolOldGuy: He's in his fifties and can easily best Julio in a sparring match.
119	* DisappearedDad: Inverted. He didn't disappear as much as his daughter wandered off. He is fairly nonchalant about the whole situation and figures they will run into each other again eventually.
120	* DualWielding: Wields two swords in combat.
121	* MarionetteMaster: Averted. Although he makes a living performing as a puppeteer and dreams of putting on the ultimate puppet show, none of his abilities or attacks make use of puppets.
122	* RetiredBadass: He may have traded mercenary work for doll making, but the old man's still got it.
123	* ThatCameOutWrong: When Fritz comes into the atelier at one point, he asks if he can examine Plachta's body. ...He ''meant'' that he wanted to give her a checkup and some maintenance.

126	!Other Characters
127	[[folder:Horst Basler]]
128	!!Horst Basler
129	A café owner in Kirchen Bell. The shop operates as a café during the day, and a bar at night. He's also well versed in the latest information around town, managing various requests and offering to talk about rumors. He's a sincere man who's deeply trusted by the townspeople. He also feels lonely easily, which is a reason why he opened a café for people to gather in at all times of day.
130	----
131	Voiced by: Creator/YojiUeda (JP), Creator/MarcDiraison (EN)
132
133	* QuestGiver: Acts as the quest giver for all side quests and optional boss fights via the Requests and Rumors options.
134	* CoolOldGuy: One of the oldest characters and a genuinely nice guy. He even goes out of his way to create a non-alcoholic type of liquor just so Sophie can see what alcohol is like.
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder:Tess Heitzmann]]
138	!!Tess Heitzmann
139	[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tess_6.png]]

141	----
142	Voiced by: Sayaka Nakaya (JP), Creator/RebaBuhr (EN)
143
144	* BunnyGirl: Wears a headband with bunny ears that evokes this design. She claims the headband was her idea to attract customers and that Horst didn't put her up to it.
145	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Tess's character events are a series of these situations. From using a bomb to blow up a rock in her yard that also takes out part of her house to using herbicide that kills ALL the plants instead of just the weeds, expect Tess to ask you for an item and then ask for another to solve the mess the first one caused.

158	----
159	Voiced by: Creator/KaitoIshikawa (JP), Creator/MaxMittelman (EN)
160
161	* ContinuityNod: Although he appears to work as a normal blacksmith, when creating a new command bracelet for Plachta, she notes that Logy must possess some level of talent with alchemy in order to create her style of weapon. This is likely a nod to his deuteragonist role in ''VideoGame/AtelierEschaAndLogyAlchemistsOfTheDuskSky''.
162	* LegacyCharacter: He doesn't seem to be quite the same as the co-protagonist of ''Atelier Esha & Logy''.
163	* TheTeetotaler: Doesn't actually like alcohol and only partakes when he has to while meeting with clients.
164	* UltimateBlacksmith: He seeks to be one of these and with Sophie's help, he'll realize it.
