This is the Character Sheet for Divine Bells.
Myung-Joo
Myung-Joo is the smallest and weakest country. Prior to the start of the series, it had never received a bell. The bell with the red string (Gang-Hui) chooses Hong Ryung. The name of its palace is Chu-Yeon.
Hong-Ryung
The King of Myung-Joo.- Astral Projection: Turns out the Hong-Ryung seen for the first season was nothing but a soul in an illusionary body created, while his actual body is healing from a severe injury. Due to Mu-Hyang's help, his soul manages to go back into his real body.
- Curtains Match the Window: Yellow hair and eyes.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: While he seems apathetic at first glance, he wants nothing but the best for his citizens.
- Psychic Dreams for Everyone: Begins to suffer from dreams where he is injured and killed by a neck wound. It's not a forewarning, but a repressed memory of something that actually happened to him two years ago; a grievous injury that required Ga-Bi to transfer her powers to him, which kept him alive.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He looks like a younger version of his father.
- Terrible Artist: He tries to draw a glyph he saw on an assassin. He fails.
- Took a Level in Badass: When assassinations on his life become a frequency, Hong-Ryung shows that he is not simply a king of a small country that needs protecting. He can do that just fine himself. Takes even more levels in badassness, when his Divine Powers begin to awaken and he learns to control them.
Mu-Hyang
Hong-Ryung's elder half-brother and the previous king's son by his concubine, Chui-Bi. That is, officially. He is actually Chui-Bi's illegitimate son.- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With No-Woo.
- Heroic Bastard: His actions as a Fake Defector along side the lengths he is willing to go for both Hong-Ryung and No-Woo, definitely qualify him.
- Wild Card: His true loyalty and motives are unknown.
Chui-Bi
Mu-Hyang's mother and concubine to the late king.- Wicked Step Mother: Trying to kill her step-son no less.
Do-Ahn
The previous king of Myung-Joo. He is the father of Hong-Ryung and Mu-Hyang, as well as the husband of Ga-Bi.- Posthumous Character: Obviously, since his son is king when the story starts.

Father of Baek-Yul and adoptive father of Yu-Ha. Nan-Hyun
No-Woo
The Princess of Nan-Hun.- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Mu-Hyang, though the belligerent side comes out stronger due to her suspicions about his loyalties.
- Tomboy Princess: Downplayed. No-Woo tends to disregard etiquette, but she understands her position and duties to her country.
- Warrior Princess: No-Woo is a trained fighter, perfectly willing to defend herself and others.
Jae-Sun
The Queen of Nan-Hun.- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Is rather cold and stern but shows a sense of duty and kindness as well.

The largest and most powerful country. Prior to the start of the series, the same three bells would always choose Dae-Hyun. The name of its palace is Tae-Ryung.

- Mysterious Waif: She's So-Hae-Hu, the priestess that appears in the first chapter and awakens the bells.
- Older Than They Look: Claims to be 150 years old. Due to the way spiritual powers work in this series, it's entirely possible it's true. This is later revealed to be false, as Ha-Heon stopped aging after she met Ga-bi.
Ga-Yu and Guk-Yool
- Ambigous Gender: Guk-Yool is a woman, which Ju-Hie has to hint at for Yun to figure out.
