9
10	The protagonist, a maid and Charlotte's personal assistant. She's very loyal towards Charlotte, whom she puts before herself. After both girls are separated after entering the enchanted mansion, Amelia decides to search for her master and find all the candy.
11
12	It's revealed the reason why she's so naive and ditzy is because she's actually a {{familiar}} created by Charlotte a few months before the beginning of the game.
13
14	----
15	* BornAsAnAdult: Implied to have always looked as old as she does after her creation.
16	* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler:Possibly her fate in the Bad Ending.]]
17	* CloudCuckoolander: Amelia is very naive and whimsical, according to Charlotte. Justified, since she's a familiar.
18	* DefrostingIceQueen: Loyal beyond question to Charlotte, to the point she'd stop at nothing to find her. However, she gains some humanity after befriending John and Richard and, afterward, the three chatter as if nothing ever happened.
19	* GenkiGirl
20	* {{Familiar}}: Amelia is a familiar born from a pumpkin created by Charlotte.
21	* MsFanservice: If you complete the game for the first time, Amelia can wear a steampunk dress in the second playthrough. The dress is...''generous'' to say the least.
22	* NoSocialSkills: Leaving her loyalty to Charlotte aside, it takes her a while to warm up to John, and they're more friendly in the Bonus Room. In ''VideoGame/TheWitchesTeaParty'' she's also awkward when talking to Charlotte's witch friends.
23	* OnlyFriend: Richard believes she's this to Charlotte, in the Bad Ending. And since she's a newborn, Charlotte doesn't let her to go outside, at least until the events of Trick and Treat and befriending the mansion crew.
24	* PlayerCharacter
25	* ShipTease: With John and Charlotte.
26	* UndyingLoyalty: Amelia is very loyal to her master Charlotte. Its later explained that she is a familiar created to serve Charlotte.
27	--> ''However, I want to do everything I can to help Miss Charlotte...to take care of her...I was born for her. I remember this more clearly than anything.''.
28	* YoungerThanTheyLook: According to WordOfGod, Amelia was created months before the events of the game, but still looks like a teenager.

31	[[folder:Charlotte]]
32	[[quoteright:222:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlottetat.png]]
33	[[caption-width-right:222:''"Well, this is your first time outside of the house. Follow me and don't get lost!"'']]
34	A cheerful but short-tempered witch, who lives in the forest together with Amelia, her familiar. Likes humans, but keeps them at distance, due to FantasticRacism. She and Amelia enter into an enchanted mansion in order to search for candy, but they get separated after she gets annoyed by Richard's cryptic greeting.
35
36	After Amelia gets caught in the mansion's deathly traps, [[spoiler: Charlotte is angered and demands John and Richard to return Amelia safe back to her. After Amelia is found, Charlotte finds out that Richard is vampirized thanks to her grandmother Marilyn putting a curse on him 70 years ago because Charlotte rejected a date with him. In the end, the four become friends (possibly because of Charlotte feeling guilt for Richard's situation).]]
37	----
38
39	* ADayInTheLimelight: The prequel ''VideoGame/TheWitchesTeaParty'' is focused on her.
40	* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: To Amelia. However, it's not that Amelia is a ditz per se, just that Amelia is a newborn familiar who's ignorant about common sense.
41	--> ''You have no sense of direction at all. And....it'll be terrible if you tripped and broke your head or something.''.
42	* {{Curse}}: Monsters are defined by having curses, as said in ''VideoGame/TheWitchesTeaParty'', and one of the {{Yonkoma}} has her rethinking what her curse is. She thought it was loneliness, but given the events of this game, she thinks it might be [[spoiler:[[TrademarkHatedFood tomatoes]]]].
43	* CuteWitch
44	* ItAmusedMe: According to WordOfGod, this is her reason for creating Amelia, but the remake's art book also indicates because she wanted [[spoiler:a maid]].
45	* InsufferableGenius: It's noted she's hostile to people who can't understand what she says, even when dumbed down. In ''VideoGame/TheWitchesTeaParty'' she's much nicer, but it's justified here since she has to deal with the naive newborn Amelia and the embittered and prejudiced Richard.
46	* ImmortalImmaturity: Due to living for almost a century, she can be WiseBeyondTheirYears and acts as a CoolBigSis to Amelia, but she's also a SpoiledBrat and an InsufferableGenius.
47	* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: If Amelia ceases to exist in the Bad Ending, Charlotte blames Richard for it, even when the latter tries to explain that it was Charlotte's fault for barging into his mansion in the first place.]]
48	* ObliviousToLove: Or rather, she's not interested about romance yet.
49	* OhCrap: In the True Ending, after realizing that [[spoiler: refusing to go on a date with Richard 70 years ago resulted in her grandmother transforming him into a vampire.]]
50	* OlderThanTheyLook: Charlotte has the same youthful appearance she had 70 years ago. Justified, since witches age slower than normal humans.
51	* PetTheDog: Although she's well known for her arrogance, Amelia states that she does have a kinder side. And in the True Ending she does thank John for finding Amelia and tries to make amends to Richard and help him with his vampirism. After the events of the game, she befriends Richard and John and even visits them frequently, despite stating before that she hated the mansion and its tomatoes. [[spoiler: It's implied it might be out of guilt that Richard's condition was indirectly because of her.]]
52	* PimpedOutDress: She's always wearing them. Apparently, she makes them herself.
53	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Especially in the Bad Ending, [[spoiler: when she destroys the mansion, killing Richard and John along with it.]]
54	* ShipTease: With Amelia and Richard.
55	* SpoiledBrat: While not a bad person, she's rude and inconsiderate for others. And it's not helped with Amelia, the tomatoes and Richard getting on her nerves.
56	* SweetTooth: The reason why Amelia and Charlotte entered Richard's mansion was to collect all the candy scattered around the place.
57	--> ''I won't leave until I have all the candy in this house!''
58	* TrademarkHatedFood: Apparently Charlotte dislikes tomatoes and hates hanging around Richard's mansion because the place smells like them. It's become a running gag in ''VideoGame/TheWitchesTeaParty''.
59	* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Amelia and Richard.
60	* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry / TranquilFury: [[spoiler: In the Bad Ending after Amelia dies.]]

66
67	A butler who serves Richard, the head of the enchanted mansion. He's polite, elegant and easy-going, helping to reassure Amelia not to be scared of the mansion and find Charlotte. Like his master, [[spoiler: he's also a monster. He has an unnatural glowing eye [[MagicalEye which allows]] him to manage the magic of the mansion and presumably activate all the deathly traps in it.]]
68
69	[[spoiler: He has not aged past being a young man in 60 years thanks to him being at the wrong place at the wrong time when Marilyn cursed Richard. Both men now live together as immortal beings in an enchanted mansion given by Marilyn. ]]
70	----
71	* AlmightyJanitor: He's just a butler. He's also [[spoiler:the one controlling the magic of the mansion. Yes, that includes those deathly puzzles and traps.]]
72	* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:While he was cursed too, it's unknown what's his status now.]] He looks human, but is possibly immortal...
73	* BattleButler: There's are hints that he's a capable with weapons, such as [[spoiler:the newspaper page in the library with an article describing him as a ruthless man efficient with weapons.]]
74	** And the Bonus Room implies [[spoiler:he's the one in charge of the mansion's deathly puzzles and traps.]]
75	* BewareTheNiceOnes: John is usually polite, elegant, and very calm. [[spoiler:But he admits in the Bonus Room that he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if he has to]].
76	** He also states that he manages the magic of the enchanted mansion. Which means he was possibly the one [[spoiler:activating the deathly traps that resulted in Game Overs for poor Amelia....Him admitting that he knew all along that Amelia and Charlotte were inhuman gives hints that he knew what he was doing.]]
77	* BridalCarry: Gives one to [[spoiler:an unconscious]] Amelia [[spoiler:in the one of the True Endings]].
78	* ButThouMust: If Amelia enters the dungeons and ignored John, thus not getting the flashlight, it results in John invoking a BlackScreenOfDeath out of nowhere and a instant game over the moment she tries to enter the dungeons.
79	--> '''John''': ''Please don't ignore me. (cue NonStandardGameOver)''
80	* CoolMask: Wears a ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' styled one, to hide his MagicalEye. After a pep talk with Amelia in the Bonus Room, he stops wearing it.
81	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He was a normal servant until he happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and saw Marilyn cursing Richard and his transformation. Due to being a witness, John was cursed as well, gaining an unnatural bright blue eye and a long life. The newspapers in the library imply that he might have murdered the people who entered the mansion and rejected Richard.]]
82	* FantasticTimeManagement: The Bonus Room states he uses his glowing blue MagicalEye to manage the magic of Richard's mansion.
83	* HeKnowsTooMuch: The reason why [[spoiler:Marilyn cursed him]] once he witnessed [[spoiler:Richard's transformation]].

87	--> ''"I received an unnaturally long life because of Richard's curse...Even if I was treated as a monster, or a murderer...I take it as an adventure.''.

94	* StraightMan: Compared to [[InnocentInaccurate Ame]][[TheDitz lia]], [[InsufferableGenius Char]][[JerkWithAHeartOfGold lotte]] or [[ProneToTears Rich]][[TragicMonster ard]], he can come across as this.

100	[[caption-width-right:254:''"In all those dark years, I've been longing for guests...."'']]
101	The head of the enchanted mansion. He's a vampire who lives in isolation with his butler John, but they let Amelia and Charlotte enter into their mansion with the intention of [[spoiler: finding Richard a girl who'll be the key of breaking his curse.]] He's softspoken, sensitive and very emotional, to the point of breaking into tears at a minor provocation.
102
103	He's actually [[spoiler: a human. He has not aged past being a young man in 60 years thanks to Marilyn cursing him. Originally he was the prince of a Western country who was troubled about everyone loving and praising him for his title and not for whom he was. After Charlotte rejected a date with him, Marilyn transformed him into a vampire in order to help him find true love.]]
104	----
105	* BigBad: Richard, in his efforts to break his curse, is the one who imprisons Charlotte and Amelia in his mansion. Though he's an [[AffablyEvil unusually nice]] and [[ButtMonkey down-on-his-luck]] example.
106	* BornUnlucky: According to WordOfGod.
107	* ButtMonkey: Nothing ever goes right for the poor guy. He can't catch a break neither in the 4-koma or the sequel Airi's Adventure.
108	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He used to be a sheltered prince who had no luck in love and was rejected by Charlotte 70 years ago. In a twisted way to help him, Charlotte's grandmother cursed him and his butler John, transforming Richard into a vampire whose curse could only be lifted with ThePowerOfLove. After being forced to escape his country, he tried to adjust to his new condition only to realize that his several WeaksauceWeakness prevent him to have a normal life. By the time of ''Trick and Treat'', he's grown depressed and desperate to break his curse. So desperate that he's willing to give a chance to Charlotte, the one indirectly responsible for his current condition.]]
109	* FantasticRacism: He's rather prejudiced towards witches, as shown by his BreakingSpeech to Charlotte in the Bad Ending..
110	* FreudianExcuse: His immaturity, hatred of witches and obsession with finding true love are well justified. [[TragicMonster And it's not pretty]].
111	* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
112	* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Apparently his destined one is the girl who rejected him 70 years ago and the indirect cause of his vampirism. He's not too happy about this.]]
113	* IJustWantToBeLoved / IJustWantToHaveFriends / IJustWantToBeNormal
114	* ImmortalImmaturity: He hasn't aged past being a young man in 70 years. Due to this, he can be serious if the situation needs to be, but most of the time he acts like a whiny and lovelorn teenager.
115	* LockedIntoStrangeness: Richard’s hair and eye color changed when he was [[spoiler:transformed into a vampire]]. (A portrait in the mansion shows him with black hair and InnocentBlueEyes).
116	* NiceGuy
117	* ProneToTears: He is prone to break out in tears a lot (complete with OcularGushers). When complaining about his tragic backstory, when afraid that Amelia forgot his name, when going unsupervised to listen to a church choir (despite religious items being harmful to him)....
118	--> ''WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND A MONSTER?!''.
119	* TheResenter: Towards Marilyn and all witches per extension. He even refers to her as a JackassGenie.
120	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive to John's Manly.
121	* ShelteredAristocrat: When he was [[spoiler:a human]]. [[spoiler: It's implied that part of Charlotte's grandmother's motivation to transform him into a vampire was for him to grow out of it.]]
122	* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel
123	* TragicMonster: Very much so.
124	* UndeathlyPallor
125	* VampiresAreRich: Averted. While [[spoiler: he was a prince when he was alive and was forced into hiding upon being vampirized]], it's revealed his mansion was a gift from Marilyn. [[spoiler: It's possibly as a token of apology after cursing him]], And he isn't actually paying John.
126	* VegetarianVampire: He's a vampire... But, he doesn't subsist on blood. [[spoiler:He's a vegetarian vampire that can only feed on tomatoes.]]
127	* WeaksauceWeakness: Sunlight, silverware and holy items such as Christmas. Even listening to a mere church choir is dangerous to him!
128	* WhoWantsToLiveForever: He certainly thinks so.
129	--> ''Eternal loneliness or to end your life with true love...which one would you choose?''.
