Main Characters

Marshmallow

Chief Refreshment Manager

The MC of the game. Was working at a refreshment stand at the zoo when they accidentally curse a bunch of guys with magic water.

Achievements in Ignorance: Manages to beat Anon's record time when it comes to hacking into NORAD, while he was also trying to stop them. They were just trying to surf the web!
Distracted by the Sexy: In the "Uncut" DLC, the opening scene is expanded upon, where spying a couple of sexy boys making out leads to the magical water being grabbed instead of the non-magic ones.
Featureless Protagonist: Much like the sister game, Marshmellow is a featureless, short blob of white in the dates and introductory scenes. Dialogue directed at the player attempts to be gender-neutral when possible.
Forgot I Couldn't Swim: Marshmallow meets Kelby by going for a swim and nearly drowning.
LOL, 69: Their employee number while they were working at the zoo was #69247... or 69 24/7.
Purely Aesthetic Gender: As before, but the starting default is female.
Weirdness Magnet: Between what allowed the plot to begin, and meeting individuals like Stirling, Scale, Reece, Finn, and Leo despite the world seeming like a usual, normal world, it's clear that they attract/cause unusual things to happen. They can even lampshade this when talking to Leo.
Marshmallow: Believe it or not, this is only like the second or third weirdest thing to happen to me.
Wholesome Crossdresser: A male Marshmallow can be this in the seamstress and maid jobs.

Q-Bae

Voiced by: Morgan Long

A magical being that looks like a red panda. Has the same role as Crush Crush's Q-Piddy, teaching the player how the game works.

Author Avatar: He's a red panda, the developers' logo and motif.
Mentor Mascot: He's a tiny, adorable creature that serves as the player's guide to the game's mechanics.
What Happened to the Mouse?: In the current build of the game, he disappears after explaining all the mechanics.

Love Interests

Nimh

Voiced by: Alec Miller

A shy man that was turned into a rabbit. The first boy encountered, staying at the zoo and hoping for a refund.

Actually Pretty Funny: As an animal, people greet him with "What's up, Doc?" several times over. He admits that he laughed the first nine times, and that's on him.
Easter Bunny: One of his chats comments on him having a dream that he was hiding eggs.
Endearingly Dorky: He can be awkward at times due to his shyness, and this is deliberately done on Sad Panda Studio's part.
Explosive Breeder: At Max Lover, he makes a joke about rabbits' reproduction in relation to himself and the player.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Pure, kind, and innocent, you would be hard-pressed to find someone more wholesome.
Happily Ever After: Says that he's a sucker for fairy-tale endings and wouldn't mind if this is what happens.
Insecure Love Interest: Worries that the relationship might be over at Max Lover level since he's no longer cursed.
Lucky Rabbit's Foot: Someone apparently asked for one of his feet once he dies. He agrees to do it somewhat reluctantly.
Right-Hand Hottie: Works as a "P.A." and his default outfit appears to be what he'd wear to work.
Sacred First Kiss: He admits that the curse-breaking kiss was his first one, and as it was literally magic, it makes all other kisses hard to compete with.
Stock Animal Diet: Naturally, his dinner as a rabbit is one carrot. On a fork.
Sweet Tooth: He admits that before his transformation, he always had a craving for sweets. Once human, most of his gift requests are food.
Token Mini-Moe: Downplayed. The achievements involving him explicitly mention he's intended to be the "soft boy" of the bunch, and the shortest of the cast with a two-inch difference from Scale.

Volks

Voiced by: Daniel Acosta

A gruff loner that was turned into a wolf.

The Big Bad Wolf: He often makes reference to this trope, but rarely seems to act on it.
Defrosting Ice King: Halfway through his romance, he's disturbed by the fact that he's having trouble identifying bad things about you.
Man Bites Man: Claims to do this in his half-cured state, when he still has wolf ears and a tail.
"People are calling me a furry. I'm also still biting a lot of people. These things are connected."
Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Although frequently hostile, he really is a good person deep down.
My New Gift Is Lame: Inverted. At one point, he gives Marshmallow a steak as a gift. Via mailbox.
"I apologize, because I know how weird that is. Don't make it worse than it already is."
No Social Skills: How Volks' compliments come off.
"You're nice to look at. Good job on your...face."
Perpetual Frowner: Almost never has anything but a frown on his face. Extra points for only rarely not having his arms crossed.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Can go from showering you with gifts and affection to calling you annoying.
"Stop calling me a 'good boi'. I know what you're doing. I don't care if I like it anyway."
Vegetarian Carnivore: As a wolf, Volks will order a salad during the dinner date.
When He Smiles: He starts giggling and smiling as the relationship progresses.
"I still don't giggle."
Wolves Always Howl at the Moon: He finds the moon appealing, and later invites the player to howl at it with him.

Kelby

Voiced by: Jonathan Ostonal

An athlete that was turned into a rooster. He doesn't let that stop him from exercising or volunteering as a lifeguard, though.

Carnivore Confusion: The Dinner date in his animal form is him feeling guilty for eating a chicken drumstick.
Innocent Fanservice Guy: Apparently once wanted to try out for a track team completely naked since clothes aren't very aerodynamic.
Lovable Jock: He's obsessed with all sports, but is a nice guy overall.
Love Makes You Dumb: Fails miserably in his attempts to use poetry to flirt with Marshmallow.
Shirtless Scene: In Max Lover level, he will use being sweaty as an excuse to take off his shirt.
Unfazed Everyman: Seems to take most things in stride, including his transformation (other than the weird thing about him thinking about him eating chicken as cannibalism) and attributes death threats and murder attempts on him to either bad luck or misguided attempts at kindness.

Eli Kawase

Voiced by: Michael Kovach

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/achievements_eli3.png

A flamboyant hedonist that was turned into a pegasus with a rainbow mane. He's actually pleased with how fabulous his transformation made him, but won't turn down the player wanting to party with him.

All There in the Manual: According to the devs, Eli is actually Iro's brother and so his surname's revealed from Hush Hush - Only Your Love Can Save Them info.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Has a very short attention span and gets bored easily.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch, sweetheart. Life is full of ups and downs. Ups and downs. Ups and downs. What were we talking about again?"
But Not Too Bi: One of his quotes states that he is, but he hardly ever mentions an interest in any women in particular unless Marshmallow happens to be one, and his dialogue often implies or explicitly mentions other men.
"I'm like a pendulum - I swing both ways!"
Camp Gay: A downplayed example due to his real sexuality.
Cannot Spit It Out: He says he feels sick whenever anyone says the "L-Word", not just him. He also alludes to being a little scared of how committed his relationship with Marshmallow is becoming.
Chatty Hairdresser: His stylist of choice seems to be this, based on what he mentions about him.
Cool Horse: He's a pegasus with a rainbow mane, and absolutely fabulous!
Cursed with Awesome: He's actually pretty happy about his transformation.
Hidden Depths: At Max Lover, he mentions wanting to go to the library with Marshmallow for no reason other than him enjoying reading.
In Touch with His Feminine Side: Makes you sit down and talk about feelings whether you want to or not.
Last-Second Word Swap:
"I noticed some changes today! I mean, they warn you about this stuff in school, but I wasn't expecting LESS hair and a smaller... Nose."
Polyamory: He engages in this frequently, having sexual relationships with others even while committing to Marshmallow. Notably, he's one of the few boys who explicitly mentions one of the others (Volks, specifically) and wants to know everything about him and Marshmallow hooking up.
Really Gets Around: As a hedonist, he explicitly mentions chasing tail and mentions "partying too hard" on some nights.
Spear Counterpart: To Iro. While she is a Tomboy, he comes off as Camp Gay (even if he's explicitly bi).
Sweet Tooth: Loves his girly, sugary drinks and pocky sticks. Rarely eats anything not sugary actually.
Too Kinky to Torture: He misconstrues Cole's threats towards him as propositions, the other seems to be disturbed by it.
"I thought I heard someone whispering my name from the shadows last night. But when I answered back, 'Daddy?' they stopped. Pff. Coward."
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In Uncut, the reason for the water bottle mixup is because Marshmallow was watching two men having sex with each other through a peephole. While no defining features are made entirely clear, what little of the top's hair can be seen exactly matches Eli's.

Anon

Voiced by: Sean Posvistak

An Scottish/Irish hacker that was turned into a lemur.

All There in the Manual: According to the devs, Anon is Nina's brother.
Brick Joke: During the Dinner date while he's an animal, he plays around with his phone. During the dinner date when he's mostly human, he shows off a selfie of himself as an animal (presumably taken during the previous dinner date) and mentions how they're paying off for him.
Drugs Are Good: He mentions at one point that his diet hasn't changed much since the transformation, eating fruit and leaves...but he used to use leaves very differently.
Funetik Aksent: His text boxes are peppered with a fair amount of "ye"s and non-American slang.
Happily Ever After: Lampshaded.
"Looks like ye've cured me with the Power of Love. That's so lame that we may as well kiss and live happily ever after, like the bloody clichés we are."
Ignored Epiphany: His time spent as a lemur failed to change his views on equality, as evidenced by one of his partly-transformed statements.
"Did ye know lemurs have a matriarchal society? Ye could say it taught me about male privilege and equality. But then again, ye could say lots of things. Like, 'I am a banana'."
Introverted Cat Person: Some of his dialogue suggests this, such as his initial desire to have been turned into a cat, then later suggesting Marshmallow get cat-ears and tail "to be fair". Alternatively, it might be because he has a thing for cat girls.
Lampshade Hanging: Does it several times, especially regarding the method to break the curse.
"I cannae believe that I'm in some weeaboo bullshit fantasy game."
LOL, 69: Two of his requirements are for 69 of an item.
Love Triangle: In Max Lover status, he mentions that the situation means he's in one with all the other guys. He doesn't seem too torn up about it and immediately goes on to make a joke about The Illuminati because of it being a triangle.
Playful Hacker: His introduction is being impressed by Marshmallow not only hacking into NORAD, but also beating his own best time at it. While he tries to stop it. By accident.
Smart People Wear Glasses
Techno Wizard: Casually hacks into various secure networks, such as the World Banana Supply Index or NCIC. He even manages to track down Cole's threats and set them on a dead man's trigger so the police end up getting his information should Anon be killed.
Terrified of Germs: Downplayed, but one line of dialogue talks about missing the feeling of alcohol-based cleansers, presumably because of this trope.
Useless Accessory: Mentions in Max Lover that his headphones were one while he was in his hybrid form, and is glad that they aren't anymore.

Garret

Voiced by: Connor Ludovice

A friendly animal caretaker and lumberjack that was turned into a blue bull.

Demon Lords and Archdevils: With bull horns and a tail in human form, some nuns get the wrong idea about him...
Gentle Giant: One of the bigger guys in the game, and his main attribute is caring. Even as an animal, a bull is bigger than most other transformations.
The Idealist: Even at the adversary level, Garret sees the situation in a glass-half-full way. Yeah, he no longer has fingers but a tail can come in handy in many situations!
Kindhearted Cat Lover: His introduction is him being impressed by Marshmallow saving a cat from a tree when he no longer can.
Stock Animal Diet: Has a mouthful of hay on his dinner date as a bull.
Third-Person Person: Perhaps because he is a Funny Foreigner, but Garret always refers to himself in the third person.

Dmitri

Voiced by: James "Dijit" Tijidor

A boar that won't let his transformation get in the way of what he's passionate about, such as the pottery class he instructs.

Big Eater: At least during his animal dates, he's always seen eating something.
Connected All Along: Hush Hush, and later her full path in Crush Crush, reveals that Dmitri and Lotus are siblings.
Fame Gate: You need at least a few reset boosts to get past some of his requirements.
Latin Lover: His teaser video has this kind of accent, and he is a very passionate man.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is an impression of Ricardo Montalbán.

Ichiban

Voiced by: Michael Kovach

The first kiss

A popular streamer that got transformed into a pinkish-purple tiger.

Cloudcuckoolander: As a caricature of Markiplier, he tends to amplify him at his "smartest" with some of his quotes.
Cowardly Lion: An almost literal example, as the carnival date with a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo of Chica freaks him out even while he's a tiger.
Large Ham: Naturally, considering who he's based off of.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Bears a striking resemblance to Markiplier, and references both Mark's catchphrases and individual videos he's done. When Markiplier did his playthrough, he jokingly kept a tally of the similarities between himself and Ichiban. That particular stream itself gets referenced in later updates, where Ichiban commends your tenacity in playing the game and admits that he'd only be able to sit through three real-time days of it if he was in your position^note.

William

Voiced by: Brotheroff

The first kiss

A veterinarian turned into a ram. He learned about the curse when Nimh came in for a checkup.

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Twice.
- The first time is him enjoying a little too much wine during the dinner date, which causes him to start talking about how it's making his coat shiny. He realizes he might've had too much to drink then.
- The second is as a human during the boat ride, which causes him to dress up like a Venetian gondola oarsman and sing.
Arbitrary Skepticism: Is at first skeptical of the notion of a curse despite, well... being turned into a ram.
Devil in Disguise: Averted, of course, but in half-human form, some people scream and call him "El Diablo" because of the horns.
Fame Gate: He needs a whopping 250 reset boost on top of the more usual requirements to progress.
Kindly Vet: He loves all of nature's creatures equally... except spiders. Befriend him enough, and he says he'd be more than happy to treat any of the other cursed animals' injuries pro bono. He even considers it sweet that a little kid sang "Mary had a Little Lamb" to him for an hour straight.
Playing Doctor: Discussed to the point that he actually labels it as a trope.
"My pet... I don't normally do the 'playing doctor' trope, but in your case, I think I'll make an exception."
Pungeon Master: He might not pun more than the others, but he does enjoy a good pun.
Romantic Vampire Boy: His Halloween outfit, complete with a toy bat and a statement that not all vampires have to be pale and lithe.

Myx

Voiced by: Skyler Yuda

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blush_blush_myx_profile.jpg

His partially-transformed state

A musician turned into a chinchilla, who Marshmallow finds helping some old ladies in their knitting club.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Bears a striking resemblance to Dan Avidan, and mentions playing in a band with a ninja and a dinosaur.
Real Men Wear Pink: He keeps in touch with the knitting club even after returning to human form.

Stirling

Voiced by: Christopher Burns

His partially-transformed state (note the tail and the scales around his eyes)

A vampire turned into a serpent, who is mainly dismayed that his lack of limbs interferes with his favorite hobby: figure skating.

Don't You Like It?: Among other things, he's given a coffin and a tombstone with both of their names and a Gothic heart engraved on it to Marshmallow.
Forgot I Couldn't Swim:
- In his hybrid/human coaster date, Stirling forgets that he burns when exposed to sunlight.
- He nearly does it again after explaining the reason he decided against inviting Marshmallow to a beach is because he wouldn't want to blind their eyes from the sight of his pale skin, only adding the fact that he'd burn in the sunlight as an afterthought.
Motor Mouth: He's fairly prone to these as he warms up to Marshmallow, and he certainly has some of the more longer-winded dialogue in general.
"I am falling for you, I think. It's been so long, that love is like a stranger from high school you see at the market, and you don't really want to chat, so you turn into mist to escape and... What were we talking about?"
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When in love, he mentions having caught himself singing and being very surprised by it, since he thought he killed his passion for it long ago.
Our Vampires Are Different: This one enjoys wearing glitter, performing on ice, and lives in a subletted duplex on his figure skater salary instead of a castle.
Really 300 Years Old: 310, to be exact.
Romantic Vampire Boy: His main motif.
Shameless Fanservice Guy:
- He mentions he killed his most recent ice skating instructor for suggesting his outfit might be too tight because he believes "if you got it, flaunt it".
- In Uncut, he's a lot less shy about being naked than the other guys, and even contemplates hunting for prey in the nude since it would momentarily stun them if they spot him.
Shout-Out:
- His humanoid hairstyle and hobby is evocative of Victor Nikiforov.
- Among other things he can mention include having even more fans who call themselves "Slytherins" after being reverted to human form and being scared by a mob of teenage girls who are obsessed with vampires.
- At one point, he's approached by someone for a documentary with the working title of "Interview with the Snek".
Snakes Are Sexy: He's even a lot more sensual than the rest of the cast, including Dmitri.
Tickle Torture: Tickling him in half-human form makes him mention a time a vampire hunter tried to kill him, but forgot his stake so he tried to tickle him to death. He let them go because he couldn't stay mad at that kind of resourcefulness.
White Hair, Black Heart: Attempts this trope, as he's constantly threatening Marshmallow as if he plans to kill them, but he never does actually go through with it. He even lampshades this if tickled when naked.
"It is hard to be all angsty and mysterious when all I want to do is pin you down and blow raspberries on your tummy."
Wine Is Classy: He's always holding a glass of red wine when dressed and tends to swirl it around. With it, he attempts to invoke A Glass of Chianti.

Scale

Voiced by: Nina Rhizé Sumter

His partially-transformed state

An apprentice assassin-turned-dragon who was on the hunt for Stirling until his transformation made him set his sights on Marshmallow. His attempt occurs during a piano concert, but being spotted upsets him to the point that he gives up and demands being turned back.

Badass Adorable: Youngest in the cast and on the dorky side, but he's still a very competent assassin and is not at all fazed by Cole's threats.
Bigger Is Better in Bed: Seems to believe in this, given that he has a smaller organ than the other characters and asks this:
"I know this is a bit crass, but... If you ever figure out how to temporarily transform me back into a dragon, I was... Let's say more 'endowed' in that form. Just saying."
Chuunibyou: Very much so. While he is a ninja assassin, it seems like the only reason he does it is because it's cool.
Draconic Humanoid: In his half-human form, he retains the tail and wings of his animal form.
Dual Wielding: Always has his two daggers in his hands, if not stripped.
Endearingly Dorky: He's the youngest of the entire cast at 19 and it shows in his personality. He wants his jobs to rely on Rule of Cool more than anything else, and despite you being an intended target, warms up to you much faster than anyone else.
Honor Before Reason: Gives up on his attempt on your life solely because he was spotted and instead tells you to turn him back.
In the Hood: Always wears one in his default outfit.
Insecure Love Interest: When in Lover level, he feels the need to assert that Marshmallow likes him better in human form than dragon. He also thinks he's a lot less interesting in this form.
Ninja Run: He mentions that running this way is much faster than normal.
Shout-Out: His Halloween costume is based on Chat Noir from Miraculous Ladybug. Putting it on him even has him say a line in French, and then ask if Marshmallow will be his "love bug".
Steven Ulysses Perhero: His name is Scale and he gets turned into a dragon... which has scales.
Third-Person Person: Parodied slightly with one of his quotes while naked.
"It's Scale! He's still naked! He's also talking in third person because he's awkward at flirting. Please give him a hug."
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: He mentions that he hasn't really known much beyond killing and sneaking around, and admits he's starting to enjoy things that don't involve that now. Sex, in particular, sends him into a surprised daze in Uncut.
Your Size May Vary: Changes sizes repeatedly during the dates as a dragon. He's not always drawn to scale.

Phone Flings

Cashew

A shy man that came across Marshmallow's name when one of the love interests left a bookmark with it in a library book.

Ascended Extra: Won the second Phone-A-Fling contest to become a full love interest.
Be Careful What You Wish For: The official announcement of his victory in the second Phone-A-Fling uses the phrase while noting Cashew's "adorable wish to experience a grand, magical adventure".
Bespectacled Cutie: He wears glasses, and is sweetly naive about matters of love until Marshmallow educates him.
Insecure Love Interest: Calls Marshmallow to learn more about the apparently amazing lover learned about via bookmark, and becomes a flustered mess when it leads to actually flirting with them.
Rewriting Reality: Upon becoming a dateable character, he texts that he acquired a strange notebook at the library's used book sale that seems to be affecting reality, culminating in writing about wanting to be a part of Marshmallow's adventure and suddenly feeling "squirrely".
Shout-Out: As a squirrel, Cashew says he makes friends with a moose who suggests they go fights some Russian spies. That, paired with the aviator goggles during the roller coaster date are both shout-outs to Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Spear Counterpart: To Peanut from Crush Crush, being a slightly nerdy person with an orange outfit named after a nut that gets tempted into having a bit of naughty fun in a library.

Boss

Marshmallow's boss at the zoo. Fired them for the gross incompetence that caused the animal transformations, but still expected them to come to work for no pay, leaving the place short-staffed and him fuming.

Clothing Damage: He has a bad habit of ripping his shirts to shreds when angered.
Innocent Fanservice Guy: He sends Marshmallow pics of him tearing his clothes in anger as a form of intimidation, seemingly unaware that half-naked men with abs are conventionally attractive.
Strangely Arousing: Trying to calm down Boss with conventional methods doesn't work; he's so business-minded that asking him to envision incremental data on spreadsheets is more of a turn-on than ocean waves or calm winds.
You Are Number 6: Only addresses Marshmallow by their (former) worker ID number, #69247.

Felix

Felix in his usual, non-protesting outfit.

An energetic protester who dials Marshmallow's number at random to send out uplifting messages.

Badass Biker: He's got a motorcycle and absolutely no love for authority, plus the usual attire when not nude.
Full-Frontal Assault: His favorite way to protest is fully nude, evading cops with, at most, a small piece of paper with a peace sign covering his privates.
That Came Out Wrong: When he gets chain lubricant for his bike, he first says that he has to pick up lube on the way home, which Marshmallow proceeds to mention.

Reece

Reece, as he never appears in-story.

An adventure-seeking time-traveler, whose gear (and clothes, save for his scarf) got magic'd away upon entering Marshmallow's era.

Ascended Extra: Won the fifth Phone-A-Fling contest to become a full love interest.
Bizarre Human Biology: He apparently has two livers.
Expy: A fusion of The Doctor and either Newt Scamander or a Pokémon trainer.
Genre Savvy: He's fairly certain that making references to various science fiction will help him return to his time.
Full-Frontal Assault: He's either completely nude or only in underwear while fighting the Shenaniphant during the lead up to his final CG.
LOL, 69: You have two options when he gives you a math problem, one of which is this, and the other is 42.
Naked First Impression/Naked on Arrival: Something caused all of his clothes to disappear, except for his trademark scarf.
Non-Human Sidekick: Picks one up while looking for his "Plot Device", in the form of a large turtle he names Professor Tennant.
Raging Stiffie: In the Uncut, he's aroused in both his second and third images, the former when he's riding on top of Professor Tennant, and the latter right after he successfully defeated a monster. He later admits this is because he's been thinking of Marshmallow the entire time.
Reluctant Fanservice Guy: It's not that Reece wants to walk around naked. It's just that he got transported to his location without any clothes, except for his trademark scarf. (In the SFW version, he manages to find a pair of underwear.) That being said, he's surprisingly willing to accept compliments about his physique and body, and (at least in Uncut) admits that the last picture he sends is a deliberate attempt to arouse Marshmallow.

Ace

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blush_blush_ace.png

A member of BATS! (the Baseball Aid and Trust Society), and a friend of Kelby, who tries to recruit Marshmallow for a charity game when they're short on players.

Brick Joke: It's hard to say if it's the start of one or the end, but in one of the conversation options, you can choose to mention vampires. Ace will say that they are discouraged from playing baseball and are better suited for ice skating, which is exactly what Stirling does.
Lovable Jock: Much like Kelby, he's a sport star who has a really good heart.
Shout-Out: He explains that BATS! is a baseball society, and not the weird musical with the strangely sexual dancers.

Ferris

A fatigued office worker from Crop Corp. Inc., randomly calling to conduct a survey on what consumers expect from their food products.

Bilingual Bonus: In his first and last image there is a sign behind him that reads "Llévate contigo todas las experiencias del Camino". This translates to "Take with you all the experiences of the road."
Brutal Honesty: His mental filters seem to have stopped functioning from working too hard, so he's incredibly honest about how much he hates his coworkers and how his good looks are due to lucky genetics rather than a healthy lifestyle.
Erotic Eating: First lampshaded in his initial picture, in which he eats a donut, then invoked when his second picture has him eating a banana.
Noodle Incident: Brings up that someone actually accepting a survey is the happiest he's been since "the lawsuit", and can mention that his rival Patricia from HR is an actual gorilla and not a transformed human, but quickly realizes that's TMI for a phone survey.
No Product Safety Standards: Crop Corp. apparently wants to make food with "nearly organic" substitutes to sell to the public.
No Such Thing as H.R.: Evidently, considering how many things he can complain about regarding his job.

Poe

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blush_blush_serral.png

Poe's full outfit, not seen during his Phone Fling.

A student currently majoring in English with a penchant for poetry and a habit of musing through text. Accidentally texts Marshmallow when he thinks he's talking to his phone's Sirina.

Ascended Extra: Won the first Phone-A-Fling contest to become a full love interest.
Connected All Along: Based on his descriptions of his professor and her CGs in Crush Crush, it can be surmised that the professor in question is Miss Desirée.
Goth: Of the gloomy variety.
Idiot Ball: As a dateable character, he ends up transformed into a bird after purposely going for a walk in some eerily foggy woods and drinking water pooled in a stump, which he did mainly for aesthetic reasons.
Irony: Upon becoming a dateable character, he remarks that he's not surprised to have turned into a bird...but is rather upset to be a magpie, when it would be more thematically appropriate for him to be a raven.
Naked First Impression: In Uncut, the first picture of his is him lying in bed sans clothing, not realizing until it's too late he's technically sent an unsolicited dick pic to a stranger.
Named After Somebody Famous/Steven Ulysses Perhero: Named after Edgar Allan Poe, and really into poetry.
Parental Issues: At one point, he can say that "Sirina" has "failed [him] worse than [his] father", before quickly mentioning that he was kidding... about Sirina failing him, at the very least.
Professionals Do It on Desks: In Uncut, he mentions he likes the idea of being teased by Marshmallow while working until the point he can't take it anymore and "[they] just fuck on the desk".
Raging Stiffie: In Uncut, he apologizes for the second picture being "dick-picky" because he's become somewhat aroused. He was going for an artistic shot instead.
Squick: In-Universe, he reacts like this when thinking of the possibility he could end up arousing his teacher if he submits smut as homework.
Sudden Name Change: Was named "Serral" when he was first released, with it being changed to Poe around twelve hours later.
Too Many Belts: One as a collar, nine on his jacket, one used normally, and two on each boot.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Doesn't wear a shirt at all in any of his Phone Fling CGs, and depending on the version, doesn't wear anything until becoming a dateable character.
Waxing Lyrical: Marshmallow can reply to him mentioning his weird dreams that "Sweet dreams are made of these." Poe will then reply, "Who had a mind to disagree?"

Logan

A firefighter who contacts you after rescuing a small cat, assuming it was yours. He has a very poor choice in words and can come off strangely.

Ascended Extra: Won the fourth Phone-A-Fling contest to become a full love interest.
Cat Up a Tree: The first picture he sends heavily implies that this was the situation he got the cat from.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: He makes it clear how much he loves cats, and he's a firefighter because it makes him feel like a hero when he saves others.
Endearingly Dorky: Despite the guy's appearance and being bigger than quite a few members of the cast, he has a very naive chat pattern and tends to put smileys. It's lampshaded at one point in Uncut.
Logan: You... Uh... Wanna see..? :D
Dialog Option 2: That's probably one of the nicest ways someone has asked to send me a nude.
Modesty Towel: His final CG in the SFW version has him wearing this.
Perma-Stubble: There's always a line of very short hair along the outline of his chin.
Shower Scene: Subverted. He sends you a picture before he takes a shower and right after, but not during.
That Came Out Wrong:
- During the conversation leading up to the first CG in the Uncut, he says that he has "pictures of your pussy" and keeps digging himself deeper. It's only after he sends the picture that he realizes how wrong it sounds.
- Again in Uncut, after offering to share a picture of himself post-shower to show that he wasn't hurt, he doesn't realize that it sounds like he's asking for permission to send a nude pic.
Walking Shirtless Scene: In Uncut, all of his CGs have him not wearing a shirt.

Finn

An elf who contacts you after being pointed your way by a female deity who says that you hold the knowledge and power required to defeat Harddix.

Clothing Damage: He gets attacked by a snake while gathering flowers and loses his shirt that way. He then loses his pants while escaping Harddix later on.
Continuity Nod: His dialogue suggests that Pamu is the goddess that gave him your number.
Elfeminate: Despite his muscular physique, he has a very soft face.
Expy: Of Link. You can even make him accidentally perform the Song of Storms, and his world is known as Thighrule.
Late to the Punchline: If you mention the pun in Harddix's name, he takes a while to realize it, then expresses disappointment that he didn't notice it sooner.
Moment Killer: Briefly subjected to one while trying to masturbate in Uncut.
Play-by-Post Game: Like with Boss, you engage in sexual roleplay with him in Uncut.
Pointy Ears: Has them, as part of being an elf.
Raging Stiffie: In Uncut, he ends up falling into a field of "Lusty Lilies" with this being the result.

Leo

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blush_blush_leo.png

A Cyborg whose console links up to Marshmallow's cell phone. As a result, he identifies them as his master and follows their orders as he tries to save the world.

Bigger Is Better in Bed: In Uncut, one of the parameters that can be chosen for him is a "big dick".
Clothing Damage: Suffers from this during his fight with a monster.
Endearingly Dorky: Despite his usual calm attitude, he gets easily flustered and his messages freak out briefly when flirted with. Marshmallow comments on this.
Expy: Of Genos, being a heroic android with short curly hair.
Going Commando: Notably, his second CG in Uncut shows this, while the same image in the standard version has him wearing boxer briefs underneath his clothes.
I Call Him "Mister Happy": "Dick.EXE"
My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: Mentions that his sensors indicate that Marshmallow isn't displeased by the clothing damage he suffers.
Naked on Arrival: Only wears boxer briefs in the standard version in his first image, and nothing during all of the uncensored ones.
People Jars: Is inside one to receive upgrades in the first CG.
Power Perversion Potential: Says that he'd disintegrate Marshmallow's underwear instead of removing it just because it's something he can do in Uncut. Also, his tongue (and dick) can vibrate.
Robot Maid: A later conversation with his creator, Alfie, reveals that he was built to be "a sexy butler" in addition to being a hero.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: It's possible for him to download love.

Seth

A friend of Stirling's, and a literal devil. Challenges Marshmallow to wager their soul and answer his riddles, but promises to fulfill any outlandish requests on defeat.

Ascended Extra: Won the third Phone-A-Fling contest to become a full love interest.
Beyond the Impossible: After one of his losses, he's tasked with eating ice cream in hell, and succeeds.
Erotic Eating: The pic of him eating his ice cream is somewhat provocative.
Hellhound: In the lead-up to dating him, Seth convinces Marshmallow to summon him from Hell, so that they can mess with the souls of other mortals. However, Marshmallow's hungry, and decides to first try summoning some food; their attempt to call forth a "hot dog" leads to Seth manifesting as a flaming hellhound.
Riddle Me This: His original Fling consists of this, but Marshmallow solves all of his riddles.

Jaxon

An adventurous Australian who wandered into the brush days ago and randomly found a phone there.

Connected All Along: A little while after his first photo, we learn that he is Garret's cousin.
Excessive Mourning: His motivation for abandoning civilization for a bit is to deal with the grief of losing some friends.
Funny Foreigner: His Ozzy-ness is very much played up, such as him being upset that he can't wear thongs in the jungle.^note

Drake

A student of Snogwarts (where Vellatrix still teaches) who was held back a year, mainly because a curse prevents him from practicing magic while wearing more than his underwear. Contacts Marshmallow because they're a Professor of Charms and Transformations, making reference to the magic water from the game's introduction.

Connected All Along: Is familiar enough with William to try and use him as an intermediary to give Marshmallow a doctor's note.
Expy:
- Of both Harry Potter (magical prodigy hindered by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Referenced) and Draco Malfoy (name, appearance).
- He also bears some similarities in appearance to Ricken.
Naked First Impression: His first photo sent was him naked (or at least in his underpants) casting a magic spell.

Theo

An online gamer that befriends Marshmallow after they're randomly matched as teammates in a game.

Connected All Along: He mentions that his regular gaming friends include a girl that likes retro games and two hackers, the male of which has a sister that messes with him, implying that he's friends with Mio, Anon, and Ruri.

Basil

A professional detective who uncovered Marshmallow's number while trying to ascertain the whereabouts of his assistant, Winston. Treats mysteries like games, with the solution as its own prize.

Forgotten First Meeting: The case for something stolen that he wants Marshmallow's assistance with is actually his way of saying that Marshmallow "stole" his heart after a forgotten one-night stand.
Sherlock Homage: His whole gimmick, complete with the outfit and a so-so relationship with Scotland Yard. His name is also a two layered reference, as Basil is both the name of famed Sherlock Holmes actor Basil Rathbone and to Basil from the Basil of Baker Street books, a children's book series about a mouse who lives within the walls of Sherlock's house and like the man himself, is a detective. The books in particular were adapted into the 1986 Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective, which interestingly had a posthumous cameo of Basil Rathbone in an audio clip from a radio drama where he played Holmes.

Fabian

An all-natural merman who contacts Marshmallow through a magic mirror. Though initially dismissive, he quickly becomes enamored to the point of purposely endangering himself to keep their attention on him.

Attention Whore: Quickly becomes one for Marshmallow.
Mermaid Problem: Played with between the normal and uncensored versions. The normal version naturally has the usual problem, but in the uncensored version, his genitals are exactly where they would be if he were a human, and are always on full display.

Nico

A DJ who has lost his groove. Contacts Marshmallow for help regaining it, after getting his number from Myx.

Walking Shirtless Scene: All three of his photos, his shirt is off, even if his jacket is still on.

Mikey

A web content creator whose videos focus on food, he was intrigued by the one known as "Marshmallow", having been told of their existence by online friend Theo.

Big Eater: His gimmick, even if he's not as big an eater as he pretends to be.
Food Porn: Food is a big focus of his videos.
Spear Counterpart: To Wendy from Crush Crush, as they both have pink hair, have fuller figures than the rest of the cast, and have food-centric lifestyles.

Alfie Alfalfa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alfieportrait.jpg

Alfie suited up

The billionaire inventor who built Leo, now trying to recruit Marshmellow to his organization.

Connected All Along: A Fling added to Crush Crush states that he's hired Caitlin to be a fashion model, and that he has a zoologist sister.

Sascha Ton van Twilhaar

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sachaportrait.jpg

Sascha in his native garb

The prince of a foreign land whose father died while wrongfully imprisoned. He needs Marshmallow's help to retrieve his rightful fortune, and all they have to do is send him a thousand dollars...

419 Scam: His request has all the trappings of one. He's being completely honest.
LOL, 69: He's 69th in line to the throne, which is apparently still close enough to have his own lavish house and servants.
Unusual Pets for Unusual People: He claims that the red lobster seen in his first pic is actually his pet, and is just lying on a plate because it loves lettuce.

DLC / Limited Time Events

Sven

His partially-transformed state

A man that was turned into a hedgehog, fastest of all animals by an internet link that he clicked on. He found out about Marshmallow and approached them with the request to help them with the curse in exchange for teaching the ability to speed date.

Expy: Naturally, he's a parody of Sonic the Hedgehog. Although he's not blue in animal form, he does wear a blue jacket as a human. Many times through the game, he will make indirect references to Sonic.
Shout-Out: He says, "Good jorb!" at one point.
Spear Counterpart: To Catara from Crush Crush, who also unlocked Speed Dating and had to be purchased.
Super-Speed: His main gimmick.

Cole

Full up uncontrolled... passion

A mentally-unstable young man that was turned into a panther. He murders a fish in a bathroom, expecting Marshmallow to be called to investigate due to their reputation in saving animals. (Fortunately, the fish doesn't appear to have been a cursed boy.)

Art Shift: The first guy in the game with a fully-animated portrait.
Cats Are Mean: In contrast to Ichiban, he's the evilest character in the game.
Crazy Jealous Guy: Transitioning to him from any other boy might have him comment on the other boy and express how much he dislikes them.
Destructive Romance: Most of the achievements for his relationship levels even state this.
Evil Sounds Deep: One of the deepest voices in the game.
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: His icon's eyes occasionally widen and stare directly at the player for a few seconds, unlike all the other boys' icons which will remain static.
Living Emotional Crutch: He admits that Marshmallow quickly becomes this for him.
Cole: Your embrace is the only thing that makes me feel safe, or sane.
Mad Artist: A bloodstained one as a... “Halloween costume”.
Messy Hair: As a human, his short black hair is always disheveled.
Mugging the Monster: He threatens all of the other main boys in the game, including Scale and Stirling.
Spear Counterpart: Has the exact same gimmick as Ayeka from Crush Crush, even considering to Murder the Hypotenuse—that is to say, all the other boys.
Threat Backfire: He tends to attempt to threaten the other boys a lot, and in most cases it doesn't work due to the others Comically Missing the Point or aren't at all afraid of him. Given the nature of the game, this also crosses over into Ineffectual Death Threats considering any of his attempts are doomed to fail.
When He Smiles: Marshmallow is more than capable of making him give a genuine smile instead of the unhinged one he tends to have.
Yandere: Oooo boy, is he ever a clear example. If him wielding a kitchen knife in nearly all his post “awkward besties” date pictures wasn’t a clue, or his “Halloween costume” being covered in “red paint” didn’t give any indication, then you need only listen to the way he talks and look at his dialogue boxes.

Aki, Haru, and Fuyu

A trio of kitsune that have been cursed for two hundred years, and are romanceable after purchasing the Kitsune DLC.

Asian Fox Spirit: All three of them are fox spirits that are initially stuck in their fox forms due to the curse. Aki is the youngest at just one tail, Haru has a couple, and Fuyu has a full set.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Haru claims that he's a lover that got caught in the crossfire, not a fighter. However, the backstory that's shown during the kitsunes' "Crushed" events shows that he was the leader of a waring clan just like the other two, and reaching his halfway point has him break his flirtatious facade and complain about how much more it's going to take until you love him enough to break his curse and he can freely change his forms again.
Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Fuyu the white fox fits Blonde, Haru the black fox fits Brunette, and Aki the red fox fits Redhead.
Early-Bird Cameo: Prior to the announcement of the DLC, Fuyu's humanoid form appeared in Crush Crush, in the first image of Suzu's phone fling (in which she visits her relatives and attends a kitsune wedding).
Fame Gate: Haru requires a mighty 1000x Reset Boost for the Adversary level requirements, and 7000x Reset Boost for the Sweetheart level requirements.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Marshmallow first meets Aki while taking a walk and finding the kitsune Caught in a Snare Aki himself had set up as a prank.
Ladykiller in Love: Haru is a shameless seducer from the moment he meets Marshmallow, and claims that he's always been a romantic and it's not just some trick to convince them to kiss him and break his curse...though that does turn out to be why he's flirting with Marshmallow specifically. But over time, being loved back by them is something he finds truly special.
Nice Mean And In Between: Haru is the Nice that flirts with Marshmallow from the moment they meet (even if his initial intent is selfish), Fuyu is the Mean that values his pride above all else, and Aki is the In-Between that plays pranks on Marshmallow for his own amusement but starts behaving after the first kiss and warns Marshmallow of the dangers of kitsune society.
The Prankster: Aki is notably mischievous during the early relationship ranks, with dialogue such as denying he's the one responsible for the kick-me sign on Marshmallow's back despite a matching pawprint on it, asking how gullible Marshmallow is before shouting that something's behind them, and just plainly admitting that he tends to pull pranks on those with notable status (and, habitually, people named Larry) so they don't grow too pompous.
