Playable Characters
Eva Armster
Eva Armster
Voiced by: Kana Asumi
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's normally a very sweet, gentle girl, but on certain occasions she demonstrates that she shouldn't be trifled with:
- For a humorous example, when she sees Lulua attack Father Benon to read his diary, she doles out a special punishment which apparently involves a combination of spanking and lecturing for several hours.
- On a more serious note, when her biological family contacts her, Eva gives her mother a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, calling her out for abandoning her over an inheritance dispute only to try to take her back after it was solved.
- She will eventually has enough of Lulua creating weird and seemly inedible curry that she will smack Lulua and swing her around like she does her cannon in her special attack.
- BFG: Her weapon is a huge cannon that's bigger than she is.
- Childhood Friend Romance: Of the "Unlucky Childhood Friend" subtype. Eva has known Lulua since she was very young, and it's heavily implied that she has feelings for her, but Lulua doesn't reciprocate.
- Family of Choice: Her events revolve around this trope. Having been an orphan for her whole life, she considers Father Benon and the children of the Armster orphanage to be her true family, even taking the orphanage's name as her own. When her biological mother offers to take her back, Eva refuses, calling her out for the selfish reason she had for abandoning her.
- Stance System: Can switch to a mode that increases her attack range, allowing her skills to hit multiple enemies at the cost of attack power.
- The Gunslinger: She used to use a rifle instead of a cannon, but she found the cannon cheaper to use (presumably the losses in extra gunpowder was made up for in destructive power and increased chances of retrieving the shot; also, she can thwack enemies with the cannon, not so much with a rifle).
Christoph Aurel Arland
Christoph Aurel Arland
Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae
- Blue Blood: He is a scion of the Arland royal family. The game makes this obvious by dropping his surname shortly after his introduction, but Lulua laughs it off as his family being fanatical patriots who'd go so far as to adopt the country's name as their own before eventually learning of his heritage.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: In one scene, he buys a sword for 100,000 Coll. When Lulua balks at the exorbitant price, he simply tells her it's not expensive at all as far as he's concerned.
- Defeat Means Friendship: He mellows out significantly toward Sterk after the latter defeats him in a duel and acknowledges his prowess, even being shown accepting coaching from him at the beach in a later CG.
- Fragile Speedster: All of Aurel's skills either have low wait times, or scale their power off of his speed stat. His Resting Spirit Stance even increases his speed and level at the cost of his defense.
- Iaijutsu Practitioner: All of his attacks are quick slashes before returning his sword to its' sheath.
- Real Men Take It Black: Even though Lulua assumes this of him it's actually averted. He can't stand coffee at all and likes his tea with extra sugar. Lulua teases him for this.
- Ship Tease: With Lulua. The subtext between them in his ending is laid out as thick as possible when they both got flustered while he was helping her with her swordsmanship training.
- To Be a Master: His goal is to become the strongest knight. Going deeper, his aim is to reclaim this title for House Arland from Sterk, who earned it after besting his uncle Gio in Atelier Meruru.
- Tsundere: Lulua considers him one, and often teases him for it.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: He and Lulua share many barbs while growing to be close friends over the course of their journey. He also often tries taking a slice out of Ficus when the magician says something that annoys him.
Piana
Piana
Voiced by: Kaoru Akiyama
- Big Damn Heroes: Is introduced to the story saving Lulua and Eva from a powerful monster outside the door to Fellsgalaxen.
- Can't Hold Her Liquor: In one scene, she accidentally consumes liquor and becomes severely inebriated, to the point where she starts hugging and kissing Lulua. What got her so drunk? Just a few liquor-filled chocolates, which have a very low alcohol content (to the point where underage people can legally buy them in many places).
- Rings of Death: Her weapon is a bladed ring which she can throw at enemies.
- The Teetotaler: Swore off alcohol after her first time drinking led to her getting completely black-out smashed.
Ficus Finis
Ficus Finis
Voiced by: Wataru Hatano
- Alliterative Name: Ficus Finis
- Death Dealer: He attacks by throwing cards, fitting his Stage Magician getup.
- Friend to All Living Things: He loves all living beings, including monsters, and sometimes suggests a peaceful alternative to solving monster-related problems. Early on, he asks that the party avoid killing the puni causing trouble at the Arls-Arland checkpoint, and one of his events has him request an incense to drive away monsters without harming them.
- Heel–Face Turn: He's actually Evil Face, the demon from the Eastern Continent whom Totori defeated in her home game. Now working under Mana, he finally breaks from his demon form with Lulua's help.
- Shipper on Deck: Ships Aurel with Lulua, noting Aurel's soft spot for the girl. He even teases Aurel for it.
- Stage Magician: He is one of these, complete with top hat and deck of cards.

Nikodemus "Niko" David Dieter
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
- Anchors Away: Wields two anchors as weapons.
- Bruiser with a Soft Center: Although he puts up the facade of a tough pirate, he's also driven to tears while reading a children's book.
- Draw Aggro: Brave Stance forces enemies to target him. Combined with Iron Shell, he can act as a tank for the party.
Other Characters
Chim Dragon
Chim Dragon
Voiced by: Yuko Sanpei
A chim who grew to the size of a normal homonculus. He acts as Piana and Lulua's assistant, and runs a store with wholesale and restocking functions.- Not So Stoic: He's normally emotionless, but occasionally shows signs of emotion during his events, culminating in him giving a passionate speech about his love for pie after Lulua catches him laughing while eating pie.
- The Workaholic: As a homonculus, Chim Dragon exists to serve his masters, though Lulua does sometimes get worried about him pushing himself too hard.
Benon Armster
Benon Armster
Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda
Father Benon is the owner of the Armster orphanage. He is an excessively hard-working, yet kind and gentle man who is totally dedicated to preserving the orphanage.- Friend to All Children: This is pretty much a requirement for anyone who runs an Orphanage of Love like he does. Benon truly loves all of the children he's looking after.
- Papa Wolf: He is willing to fight to protect his children, as shown during an event where monsters attack the orphanage. Not surprising, considering how he used to be a famous adventurer."Get out... Get away from them! I'll never let you hurt one hair on any of my children!"
- Retired Badass: Benon used to be a famous adventurer known as "Benon of the Black Steel". However, he grew tired of adventuring and decided to instead renovate the Arklys orphanage and settle down.
- The Workaholic: On top of looking after the children of the orphanage, taking care of the building itself, and running a shop, Benon also often takes on requests to earn some extra funds.
Mana (unmarked spoilers)
Mana Altgalaxia
Voiced by: Yui Kondo
A girl from the Arklys orphanage.- Benevolent Boss: Acts as one toward Ficus, whom she has tasked with keeping watch over Lulua. She even tells him he's free to do whatever he wishes to after she transfers her authorities to Stia.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: She mentions in a DLC that when one of the ruins was destroyed, she ended up malfunctioning and wreaked havoc upon the dungeon. It was not until Meruru and her party beaten her up that she was able to return her senses.
- Robot Girl: All Operators are ancient robots.
- Older Than They Look: Her apparent age is listed as 12 in the guidebook. In reality, she is the operator of Orthogalaxen, and so is hundreds of years old; after all, she and Stia go back a long time.
- Signature Laugh: Regularly lets out a loud, distinctive bark-like laugh.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Throughout the game, Mana behaves in a way that suggests that she's not exactly the sweet orphan girl she seems to be (for example, she shows up in the middle of a field full of monsters at one point). This hints at how she's not actually a child, but an Operator.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: She's introduced to the story making fun of Lulua for panicking while fighting a Puni, and regularly appears in dangerous places despite Eva's scolding. However, she often says profound, cryptic things to Lulua that you wouldn't expect from a 12-year old. Subverted when she reveals that she's the ancient operator of the Orthogalaxen ruins and truly does know much more about Arland's ancient history and how they relate to Lulua's ambitions than her appearance would suggest.
- Worthy Opponent: Says "Just as expected" when Lulua and company defeat her in her Machine of God form.
Stia
Stia
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya
The operator of Fellsgalaxen. Although she's not used to other people, she quickly becomes one of Lulua's best friends.- Alternate Timeline: She and Lulua are the only characters seen in the parallel universe that the player's Lulua ventures to in the final chapter.
- And I Must Scream: She was trapped alone in a room in Fellsgalaxen for hundreds of years until Lulua blew up the door.
- Emotionless Girl: She is unfamiliar with the subtleties of human expression.
- Ojou: Her appearance and manner of speech are meant to invoke this.
- Older Than They Look: Her apparent age is listed as 17 in the guidebook. In reality, she is the operator of Fellsgalaxen, and has been alone inside for hundreds of years when Lulua finds her after blowing up the door to the ruins.
- Robot Girl: Looks like a cute girl, but is actually a Ridiculously Human Robot. When she gets "sick", the "medicine" to cure her is more like a set of gears that you replace in her body.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Lulua quickly gets her hooked on curry after taking her home to her atelier from Fellsgalaxen.
