6!Ayesha Altugle
7[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a14_ayesha.png]]
8!!!Voiced by: Creator/MarinaInoue (JP), Creator/ErikaHarlacher (EN)
9The main heroine of the game. Ayesha is an apothecary whose family has been creating herbal medicine for generations. She can seem to be quite air-headed, but she has a real talent for synthesis.
10
11* AGodIAmNot: In the "Sage's Hermitage" ending, Ayesha [[spoiler:is worshiped as a goddess by adoring townsfolk, but she doesn't like the attention, feeling that she is still just a normal apothecary]].
12* AlliterativeName: '''A'''yesha '''A'''ltugle
13%% * TheApprentice: Subverted, to Keith [[spoiler: at first]].
14* BadassAdorable: She's cute as a button and hopelessly adorable, yet also defeats many powerful enemies using a combination of staff fighting and alchemy.
15* BadassNormal: As you'd expect of the main character, she can hold her own in battle. She does it completely without magic, instead brewing up assorted death to pack into her handbasket ahead of time.
16* CantHoldTheirLiquor: In her own words, she gets drunk off the scent of alcohol alone. In one scene, she's offered a glass of what Kyle describes as "basically juice with a kick": just one small gulp of that causes her to fall into a drunken stupor.
17* CatchPhrase: She kinda has one...but she also kinda doesn't.
18%% * CoolBigSis: To Nio.
19* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Several female characters remark on how beautiful she is.
20* GeniusDitz: Ayesha may be a bit slow at times, but she can read ancient languages, has expansive knowledge about plants, and can successfully synthesize items just through rough guesses and estimates. This gets [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] the "Sage's Hermitage" ending, where [[spoiler: she's able to "find success in every field" while keeping that same old personality.]]
21* TheGift: It's noted one needs natural talent to use alchemy.
22* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Her flowing locks as radiant as her heart of kindess.
23* JumpedAtTheCall: The moment Keithgriff explains that there's a chance for her to save Nio, she leaves to study alchemy.
24* NiceGirl: One of the nicest people you'll met.
25* ObliviousToLove: She repeatedly fails to notice Fred's obvious crush on Marietta.
26* SecurityBlanket: Mentions she feels restless without her cauldron.
27%% * TalkingInYourSleep: According to Juris.
28
29!Nio Altugle
30[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a14_nio.png]]
31!!!Voiced by: Creator/MariyaIse (JP), Creator/KiraBuckland (EN)
32Ayesha's younger sister, whose mysterious disappearance drives the plot of the game.
33
34* AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost: Throughout the majority of the game, [[spoiler:she has no physical form, but is still alive and sometimes still psychically communicate with Ayesha]].
35* TheBeastmaster: Uses Pana (Ayesha's cow) to assist in some offensive attacks.
36* CuteGhostGirl: [[spoiler: She arrives when flowers glows for some time before subsequently disappears. As it turns out, it was subverted]]
37* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic.
38* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses kitchen utensils, like ladles or spatulas.
39* PintSizedPowerhouse: The amount of energy she has after you save her is ridiculous. Then she gets strong enough to fight off monsters on her own.
40* WalkingSpoiler: What's happened to her is the central plot, so she naturally falls into here.
41* WhiteMagicianGirl: The closest the game has to one. She's a gentle girl whose skills are mostly of the curative variety.
42
43!Keithgriff Hazeldine
44[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a14_keithgriff.png]]
45!!!Voiced by: Creator/JojiNakata (JP), Creator/RichardEpcar (EN)
46A passing alchemist who seems to hold the answers to Nio's disappearance. Keithgriff acts as the experienced and cynical counterpoint to Ayesha's naivety and optimism, having travelled far across the world and gained incredible knowledge along the way.
47
48* AdventurerArchaeologist: He takes to exploring ruins in his time.
49* AllYourPowersCombined: His Special move, ''Ancient One''.
50* AntiHero: He has a bounty on his head for a very good reason: [[spoiler:he single-handedly destroyed numerous alchemy labs in Marion's home country, disgusted at their hubris]].
51* BadassBookworm: Spends most of his time studying. His pet peeve is being interrupted.
52* TheCynic: He believes that humans are generally not good and hide themselves behind a mask; Ayesha refuses to accept this when she says it but agrees to come with him to see things for her own eyes.
53* CynicalMentor: To Ayesha.
54* TheDrifter: Wanders around from place to place, partly due to his [[spoiler:criminal background.]]
55* EasilyForgiven: From Ayesha when they met again in Zweiterum, after he pwned her in Hallos Village.
56* KnightInSourArmor: His refusal to help Ayesha may seem harsh, but he has reasons: [[spoiler:he comes from a country that had just started to rediscover alchemy. Over time, he grew to loathe how most "alchemists" were simply following instructions without any real knowledge of the processes involved, or even any desire to understand. Seeing this as extreme hubris and a certain path to self-annihilation, he refuses to explain the answer to Ayesha and instead pressures her to learn the fundamentals of alchemy first]].
57* KnightTemplar: He has a valid point about the abuse of alchemy, but he's declared ''himself'' the judge, jury and executioner (metaphorically speaking) of all alchemy practitioners...including Ayesha, who was taught the practice long before Keithgriff showed up. Rather than educate his fellow would-be alchemists, he lost his temper and went on a rampage. While his motives appear fairly sound, the outcome looks like the MO of a ''villain'' : a world where only he, as some kind of enlightened being, is allowed access to potentially dangerous knowledge.
58* PetTheDog: To Odella, [[spoiler: in the canon ending, he becomes Odella's master.]]
59* RealMenHateSugar: He loathes sweets.
60* SeekerArchetype: He fits the mold, seeking out knowledge at any cost and caring little for what stands in his way.
61* SmokingIsCool: Rarely seen without a smoke, which he states helps calm his nerves. And he's so cool that he even takes a smoke break in the middle of his LimitBreak, then throws his cigarette into a portal, leading to StuffBlowingUp while he does an UnflinchingWalk.
62* {{Teleportation}}: His rings somehow warp Ayesha to the library.
63* {{Tsundere}}: Referred to as such in the bonus materials.
64

69!!!Voiced by: Creator/FumieMizusawa (JP), Creator/WendeeLee (EN)
70A prospector working out of the ruined town of Riesengang, and Ayesha's best friend. She is a cheerful and outgoing lass whose physical strength and grit exceeds that of every other prospector in her town.
71
72* AmbiguouslyGay: Her love of feeling up Ayesha and praising how perfect her body is seems to go beyond just teasing. She even offers to ''marry'' her, albeit it was said in passing.
73* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Her ending. Subverted, for the kids she was taking care of were her niece and her youngest sister.]]
74* BlindedByTheLight: Her Flare Blast attack has her throw a bomb whose bright explosion has a chance of blinding enemies.
75* CoolBigSis: Treats Ayesha like an younger sibling. Same with Nio.
76* CuteBruiser: She works in the mines, yet looks cute enough to pass as a young girl.
77* FlirtatiousSmackOnTheAss: Regina mentions this to be a problem when she started prospecting, and would promptly retaliate with a beating, but now they stopped treating her like a girl.
78* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Loves the boss's booze.
79* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Has six younger siblings to look out for.
80* MuscleAngst: Of the feminine "too much muscle" variety. Lampshaded in her level up quote.
81--> ''Feels like my muscles... I mean, I'm gonna pretend I felt nothing at all!''
82* OlderThanTheyLook: She's twenty-three.
83* OneOfTheBoys: One of the few female prospectors and the only one the male prospectors respect.
84* PowerfulPick: Because she works as a miner/prospector, her weapon of choice is a pickaxe.
85* SmokeOut: She teleports after throwing a smoke bomb for her Back Attack.
86* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Her ''Flare Blast'' and ''Rock Blast'' techniques involve her throwing bombs at enemies.
87* TextileWorkIsFeminine: She's the one who taught Ayesha to cook and Nio to sew.
88* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Regina is a strong prospector who mostly hangs out with guys. She's also very good at feminine activities like clothing design and cooking.
89* TurnOutLikeHisFather: She became a prospector like her father after he couldn't work anymore.
90
91!Wilbell Voll-Ersleid
92[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a14_wilbell.png]]
93!!!Voiced by: Creator/AsamiSeto (JP), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (EN)
94A witch-in-training who befriends Ayesha due to the shared origins of magic and alchemy. Wilbell can be bratty, impulsive and a bit of a schemer, but she has a good heart.
95
96* BewitchedAmphibians: Threatens to be able to turn Ayesha into a frog if she spills about her being a witch.
97* BlackMagicianGirl: She's a young witch with quite the attitude, and most of her spells are offensive in nature.
98* CrystalBall: Uses a crystal ball to communicate with her Great-Great-Grandmother.
99* CuteWitch: Witches use magic by extracting power from a catalyst or by making contracts with beings of power. Being young and magical, she fits it perfectly.
100* HardWorkHardlyWorks: She ''thinks'' she can use this trope to her advantage. Her great-great-grandmother won't have any of it.
101* HavingABlast: Her ''Pumpkin Bomb'' technique has her create a magical pumpkin bomb to blow up enemies.
102* TheNoseKnows: She can pick up the smells of catalysts and candy from Ayesha when they first meet, which left her mistaking her for a witch.
103* TheNotSecret: She tries to hide the fact that she's not a witch, but mentions magic and witchcraft on such a regular basis, you'd wonder if she was trying to hide it at all.
104* ProjectileSpell: Her standard attack is a magic bolt.
105* SweetTooth: One of her defining features. One of the first things she does when she meets Ayesha is ask for candy.
106* SummonMagic: Level her up enough, she was able to summon a dragon and an elemental.
107* WellDoneSonGuy: Wants to be acknowledged as a full-fledged witch by her great-great-grandmother.
108

111!!!Voiced by: Creator/AmiKoshimizu (JP), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (EN)
112The bodyguard to Marion Quinn. Linca is utterly dedicated to the art of fighting- to the point where she is absolutely hopeless at anything else- and has trouble acting on her own initiative.
113
114* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:It is implied that she is some kind of combat homunculus that was mass-produced by a criminal organisation in Marion's country. Marion is trying to rehabilitate her]].
115* {{BFS}}: She uses massive sword easily her own height.
116* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Not shown in-game, but tells Ayesha she has no qualms fighting in the nude after ClothingDamage or removing her clothes in a few skits.
117* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed.]] She does not care for it, feeling (quite accurately) that it is completely lacking in defensive capability when compared to something like full-plate. In fact, the outfit is so ill-suited for battle that it tears all the time and she has ''an entire wardrobe of identical replacement outfits'' which get sent in bulk every month from their home country. However, she continues to wear it on Marion's orders, who feels it looks cute on her. She also does not like her (feminine) long hair, as she believes it gets in the way during battle. (See LongHairIsFeminine, below.)
118%% * LadyOfWar: Ayesha describes her as this, though Linca wishes she didn't have that appearance.
119* LethalChef: And even Ayesha's cooking lessons do not help, as Linca takes her instructions too literally and applies them to ''every dish'' she makes, not just the specific one it was applicable to.
120* LimitedWardrobe: Wears what Marion sets out of her.
121* LiteralMinded: She takes things literally.
122* LongHairIsFeminine: Literally the only reason that Marion insists on Linca's current hairstyle. (Linca herself hates it, feeling that it gets in the way during battle.)
123* NoSocialSkills: She doesn't make friends easily since she doesn't know how to communicate well.
124* PrimalFear: She is afraid of heights.
125

128!!!Voiced by: Creator/KosukeToriumi (JP), Creator/PatrickSeitz (EN)
129An experienced huntsman who prefers to act as a lone wolf. He is the brother of Nanaca Gruden, and accompanies her to protect her newborn herd. Despite his gruff and intimidating appearance, Juris is quite friendly once he opens up and occasionally lets slip a more immature side of himself.
130
131* TheBigGuy: Of the group. He's strong enough to move a giant rock on his own.
132* BowAndSwordInAccord: The latter's more of a knife, but it fits.
133* ChildhoodFriends: He and Kyle have known each other since they were young.
134* TheComicallySerious: He does everything with a straight face.
135* DoesNotLikeSpam: Can't stand spicy food.
136* DragonSlayer: His family is tied into it as fate.

141* RealMenCook: As he explains, a hunter who doesn't know how to cook isn't a hunter.
142* ShipTease: Quite a few with Ayesha in his character events.
143* StealthHiBye: Manages to pull this off on Ayesha and his sister due to subconciously hiding his presence.
144* WhatIsThisFeeling: In regards to his relationship with Ayesha the further you get into his events.

152
153* ConnectedAllAlong: Because he's a merchant, he already knows several characters Ayesha meets, like Nanaca and Tanya.
154* CoolBigBro: He acts like a brother to Ayesha and Nio. Ayesha even notes how similar Ernie acts like a mother.
155%% * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A male version.
156* HumbleGoal: Wants to open a store of his own.
157%% * NiceGuy: ''Very'' nice.
158* VitriolicBestBuds: A downplayed version with Ranun, as he tries to get the latter to get off his ass and work. The two simply have opposing views of the world.

184
185* BadassBureaucrat: Despite being swamped in paperwork and filing reports, Marion totes a pair of guns and is quite skilled at using them.

186* CutenessProximity: Linca mentions Marion has a weakness for cute things when she first sees a Fruit Hamster and squees over it.

199* EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes: He plays these pretty well, according to Ayesha.
