| 12 | The main character of the first game and of ''Frontier''. He developed amnesia and wandered up to Mist's door steps where she provided him with a home. In ''Frontier'' she ends up housing him again after he follows her to Trampoli |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * TheAce: Arguably. Raguna can earn tons of money farming/mining/fishing/whatever, kick ass in dungeons and win the heart of pretty much every unmarried girl in town. |
| 15 | %%* ButThouMust: Even {{lampshaded}} by Raguna at times. |
| 16 | * CastFromHitPoints: If Raguna runs out of rune points, his actions start depleting his own health bar. |
| 17 | * DeadpanSnarker: In ''Frontier'', he's more prone to comment on the quirky behavior of the villagers. |
| 18 | %%* TheHero: Well, duh. He's this in the sequel too. |
| 19 | * HeroesPreferSwords: They are the fastest weapon, but not everyone prefers them. |
| 20 | * IdentityAmnesia: He wanders into Kardia only remembering his name [[spoiler:and it's later revealed that this was Invoked by the Sechs Empire.]] |
| 21 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: If the player really feels [[SchmuckBait up to a challenge]], they can have Raguna fight monsters with farm tools. Although with [[NerfArm certain tools]], it's not such a challenge. |
| 22 | %%* KnightInShiningArmor |
| 23 | %%** ChronicHeroSyndrome: Well, it is a video game... |
| 24 | %%* OnlySaneMan |
| 25 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: WordOfGod [[http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=131170 confirms]] that [[spoiler:Ivan, who is all but blatantly named as Raguna’s elder brother, is a second cousin to the King of Norad.]] |
| 26 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:From the moment he starts exploring Kardia's eight caves/dungeons in the first game Raguna is literally fufilling the villains plans to awaken Terrable and use the Dragon God of Earth to destroy the world. Specifically, the crops Raguna plants in each of the caves give off runes (a [[TitleDrop Rune Factory]] in other words) which feed the machine used to awaken Terrable.]] |

| 35 | |
| 36 | A young girl who allows Raguna to help her operate the farm in Kardia. She's a bit strange, but she means well. In ''Frontier'' she's traveled to Trampoli, feeling that something is calling her. |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally a ditzy, sweet girl, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usQ7a5Cr7Yc&feature=related cheat on her]] [[{{Yandere}} and...]] |
| 39 | * TheCameo: Implied. The third and fourth games have faceless [=NPCs=] who have a similar speech pattern. On top of that, their names are Kasumi (which means "mist" in Japanese) and Mistress Trupin (trupin being an anagram of turnip). |
| 40 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Is referred to as "strange", and displays very notably ''odd'' behavior. |
| 41 | %%* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm |
| 42 | * FirstGirlWins: If you choose to marry her |
| 43 | * {{Flanderization}}: While she has her moments in the original game, she's downright bizarre in ''Frontier''. |
| 44 | * InnocentBlueEyes: She's innocent and has a pure soul. |
| 45 | * LetsGetDangerous: When everyone gathers for the final battle of ''Frontier'', she initially thinks everyone is gathered for "Mist Festival," but suddenly turns serious and says, "The Spirits told me what's going on. Don't worry about me and give it everything you've got!" |
| 46 | * OfficialCouple: Averted. She was the "[[FirstGirlWins official]]" love interest for Raguna in the first game, though he could freely marry whichever bachelorette available. However, ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryOceans'' makes references to Iris' Rank 10 event being completed and Anette's "weird-roommate" (which obviously, Mist cannot be if she's married and living with Raguna), indicating that ultimately Raguna did not marry Mist in canon (or at least hasn't done so at that time). |
| 47 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Rosetta's red, as shown by their eye colors. Mist is calm and collected almost all of the time, [[TranquilFury even if you cheat on her in ''Frontier''.]] |
| 48 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Turnips. It's in her description. She'll also wear a turnip mask for the Pumpkin festival and also like you more if you take her to see the Turnip constellation. |
| 49 | |

| 54 | |
| 55 | A delivery girl at her father's general store. In ''Frontier'', she opens up a shop in Trampoli that specializes in flower seeds. She's a bit pushy and competitive, but means well. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * CannotSpitItOut: If you pursue her in ''Frontier'', she reveals that [[spoiler:she's loved Raguna since she met him in Kardia and followed him to Trampoli. But she was too proud to admit this to him]]. |
| 58 | * CommutingOnABus: During her heart events in ''Frontier'', she'll move back to Kardia and come back to visit every once in a while. |
| 59 | * DaddysGirl: As much as she bosses her mild-mannered dad around, she loves him a lot. She even moves back to Kardia in ''Frontier'' because he gets sick. |
| 60 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Mist's blue, as shown by their eye colors. She's passionate about her business and is very competitive. |
| 61 | * TheRival: She considers herself to be Mist's rival, even though they're friends. She also becomes Danny's rival in ''Frontier''. |
| 62 | * UnwinnableByDesign: If you give her engagement item to Lukas, it will be impossible to marry her in your current playthrough. |

| 69 | A girl in love with magic and bathhouses, the second of which she runs. She has no real talent for spell casting, but dresses like a witch regardless. She's [[InformedAbility good with potions, though]]. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * {{Flanderization}}: Her love of baths seems a bit overblown in ''Frontier''. |
| 72 | * InnocentGrayEyes: Gray eyes of the innocence variety due to her being childish. |
| 73 | * LethalChef: Her cooking is not to be eaten. |
| 74 | * ObliviousToLove: Camus has a crush on her, but she doesn't notice and never mentions him in her dialogue. |
| 75 | * ParentalAbandonment: ''Dead'' parents, rather; she mentions being friends with Sharron because they have this in common. |
| 76 | * ThePollyanna: She's a very upbeat person despite losing her parents. |
| 77 | * RobeAndWizardHat: She dresses as such because she thinks magic and wizards are cool. |

| 85 | A nurse and, in ''Frontier'', sister in training. In the original game she's the daughter of the local clergy and helps at the hospital, but in ''Frontier'' she's running the local infirmary all on her own. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * AngerBornOfWorry: She dislikes when people are careless with their health. Her love points will actually decrease in both games if Raguna passes out in a dungeon. In ''Frontier'', Selphy pushes this button often due to her single-mindedness. |
| 88 | * CostumeEvolution: She is the only returning character who changes her outfit in ''Frontier'', going from a nurse style to a nun style. |
| 89 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She claims to be clumsy in ''Frontier'', but it's never shown. |
| 90 | * DubNameChange: From Lapis to Lara. |
| 91 | * MeaningfulName: Lapis is derived from lapis lazuli, which is often associated with healing. |
| 92 | * TheMedic: She's a nurse. In ''Frontier'', she works at the infirmary at the church. |
| 93 | * NunTooHoly: In ''Frontier''. She's every bit as sweet as before, but nuns aren't supposed to marry. She'll hand wave this, but Raguna can still get her into a bikini. |

| 100 | The daughter of local gourmet Jasper De Sainte-Coquille, who lives in the largest house in town. She comes off as a bit snobby, but she's really a nice girl. |
| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Both her hair and eyes are blue. |
| 103 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She initially seems very harsh, but gradually becomes kinder to Raguna as he befriends her. |
| 104 | * SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: In both the first game and Frontier. Because Jasper can buy her anything she wants, she does not like receiving gifts. Her LP will only go up if you talk to her everyday. |
| 105 | * LonelyRichKid: She never leaves her home. In theory, she is one of the easiest girls to marry, as all you need to win her heart is simply to come by and visit her every day. |
| 106 | * TheOjou: She's of the IceQueen variety, as she has a hard time befriending people due to her upbringing. |
| 107 | * RichBitch: She has a hard time holding her tongue when she talks to people. |

| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | %%* AltarDiplomacy: Explicitly states that she came to human lands to search for a husband who can act as an interspecies ambassador while proposing to Raguna in ''1''. This appears to be absent in ''Frontier''. |
| 117 | * TheCameo: Shows up in VideoGame/RuneFactoryTidesOfDestiny to work for the De Sainte-Coquille family in that game. |
| 118 | %%* CoolBigSis: To her younger sister Minerva. |
| 119 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows |
| 120 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: She really likes monsters to the point that the only way to marry her in the first game is to have a ton of tamed monsters. |
| 121 | * KingIncognito: [[spoiler:She's the Queen of the Elves. In ''Frontier'', she steps down and passes the title to her sister.]] |

| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | * DelicateAndSickly: She got sick a year before the game starts. If you decide to pursue her, it's revealed that her illness is from a cursed stone she received from Cecilia. She gets better once it gets tossed. |
| 131 | * DubNameChange: From Fil to Felicity. |
| 132 | * NiceGirl: She's a sweetheart despite her situation. |
| 133 | * PutOnABus: She does not show up in ''Frontier'', presumably staying in Kardia while Raguna and six other bachelorettes moved on to Trampoli. |

| 139 | ---- |
| 140 | * BespectacledCutie: A shy, adorable girl who wears round spectacles to emphasize her bookishness. |

| 152 | A wandering woman who enjoys fishing. She's supposedly on a mission, but she'll never say what it is. |
| 153 | ---- |
| 154 | * BraggingRightsReward: Courting her is [[GuideDangIt tedious]] to say the least, and marrying her has no special perks. |
| 155 | * TheCameo: She reappears in the third game in the inn, in charge of changing Micah's name and the farm's. For laughs, give her a lover snapper and she'll ask if Micah is proposing to her. |
| 156 | * BerserkButton: In the third game, Micah telling her that he's going to eat the Lover Snapper makes her very angry. |
| 157 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her dark eyes match her hair in-game. |

| 162 | * SeekerArchetype: She's in Kardia to investigate the Sechs empire. |

| 173 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She's an oracle and possibly some type of divine being. |
| 174 | * ParentalAbandonment: Melody mentions that Sharron's parents are dead. |
| 175 | * PutOnABus: She doesn't go to Trampoli for ''Frontier''. However, she does remain in contact with Melody through letters. |

| 186 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:Under the orders of Emperor Ethelberd, she began the Grimoire Project that endangers Kardia and would've endangered all of Norad.]] |
| 187 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:She was the architect of the plan that filled Kardia's caves with monsters, made Raguna permanently lose his memories, and summoned the true Grimoire. Raguna forgives her for all of it almost instantly, though the alternative was her being honor-bound to commit {{seppuku}} as per the rules of the Sechs military.]] |
| 188 | * EyepatchOfPower: She wears one to cover up her gold left eye. |
| 189 | * InTheBlood: She comes from a long lineage of Sechs military commanders. |
| 190 | * KnightOfCerebus: Whenever she shows up the game loses most of its lighthearted tone. |

| 192 | * MasterPoisoner: [[spoiler:Her experience with medicines allowed her to inflict amnesia on Raguna. Unfortunately, it worked too well and Raguna can't regain those lost memories.]] |

| 195 | * TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Lynette is never confronted directly. However you have to face the many dangerous monsters and machinery she controls every time you encounter her.]] |
| 196 | * WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Lynette in any form spoils a lot of the game's story. |

| 280 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A downplayed example. Prior to the start of the game, she gifted Felicity with a stone, not realizing that said stone was cursed; this stone turns out to be the cause of Felicity's mysterious illness. Thankfully the player can fix the situation by having Felicity discard the cursed stone once they find out about it. |

| 289 | * ThePrankster: He likes playing pranks on Wesley. |

| 314 | ---- |
| 315 | * AmicableExes: With Sabrina. However, he makes it obvious that he wants to get back together with her. |
| 316 | * DivorceIsTemporary: You can help him get back with Sabrina. |
| 317 | * EyesAlwaysShut: His character design incorporates this. |
| 318 | * FriendToAllChildren: He has a good relationship with Nicholas, though it could be due to him wanting to bond with his son. |

| 320 | * LukeIMightBeYourFather: It's never outright stated whether or not Nicholas is his biological son. |
| 321 | ** There is the fact that if you get Neumann and Sabrina to remarry, at least one character at their wedding asks them when they're going to have ''another'' child... |
| 322 | * NoodleIncident: He did something in the past that really angered Sabrina and caused them to get divorced. |
| 323 | * ParentalSubstitute: Maybe. Nicholas claims to have no father and often hangs out in his store, but it's possible that they are biologically related and Nicholas was too young to remember him. |

| 346 | * DotingParent: He worries about Felicity pushing herself too hard. |
| 347 | * FlatCharacter: There isn't much to say about him. |

| 349 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's in charge of issuing cave permits to people who meet the required conditions, but he's willing to waive those requirements in emergency situations, such as when Cecelia gets lost in Clemens Cave. |

| 356 | * NiceGuy: He has a hospitable personality and considers the villagers to be his family. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | !!Leo |
| 359 | The town blacksmith who owns Sword Leo Smithery. He was trained by a dwarf, which rubbed off and influenced his speech pattern and appearance. |
| 360 | ---- |
| 361 | * TheBlacksmith: He plays this role, though his weapons won't be as good as the ones you can forge. |
| 362 | * GoalInLife: He wants a Grimoire Scale to forge a Grimoire Sword, which is needed to propose to Sharron. |

| 377 | !!Terrable |

| 381 | * DishingOutDirt: Terrable's elemental power. |
| 382 | * GreenThumb: Terrable also has domain over plant life, as shown in the finale [[spoiler:when she foils the Sechs Empire's invasion by entangling their tanks in plants]]. |

| 384 | * SamusIsAGirl: In ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'', if you bring Raven as an ally for the boss fight against Terrable, Raven will say this: |
| 385 | --> '''Raven''': [[spoiler:She is... crying...]] |

| 392 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:When his tank division is disabled by Terrable, he and his soldiers simply pull back from Kardia and must walk back to their homeland despite being the reason Kardia's caves were full of monsters in the first place.]] [[spoiler:However, the loss he suffers here [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty leads to comeuppance]] [[VideoGame/RuneFactory4 three games later]]...]] |
| 393 | * YouHaveFailedMe: After Raguna defeats the true Grimoire and ruins Lynette's Grimoire Project, Ethelberd appears to remind Lynette of the price for failure: seppuku, or exile. She attempts to do the former, but Raguna convinces her to do the latter instead. |
| 394 | |
| 395 | !!Gilbert |
| 396 | The king of the Norad Kingdom. |
| 397 | ---- |
