The Chemist/"Logan"
The default male and female appearances
The protagonist of the game, who is assigned to Moonbury Town by the Medical Association to cure Mayor Myer's daughter Rue at his request because Matheo's medicine didn't work on her. They get a chilly reception from the other residents at first, but they slowly gain their trust by working as the town doctor.
- Alchemy Is Magic: They make potions out of magical ingredients gathered from Moonbury Island to cure their patients.
- All-Loving Hero: It's their mission as a doctor to tend to everyone's well-being, even if some are reluctant to trust them. Victor even wonders if they're being kind because they're a Chemist or if that's what they really are.
- Canon Name: While they can go by any name, their default name is Logan.
- Character Customization: You can choose between the male or female version of the Chemist at the start of the game, and also customize their skin color, hair color, hairstyle, eye color, and clothing color.

- Heroic Mime: They don't have dialogue and only emote during conversations.
- Loved by All: Dr. Nestor hopes the Chemist can gain the trust of the residents by curing them and helping them with their problems. Over the course of the game, the pricklier residents like Derrek and Garret slowly warm up to the Chemist, and when the latter restores Moonbury's natural areas and clears up the misunderstanding between the town and the Medical Association, everyone lauds them for their accomplishments and officially considers them as a Moonbury resident.
- Made of Iron: Besides being able to have their max HP upgraded at Hearts and Sparks, they don't get visibly injured by the monsters they fight to collect ingredients from them. Running out of stamina simply means they move slower and can't use their tools, while being KO'd just has the forest rangers returning them to their house and the Chemist oversleeping until 12PM. Additionally, they can still function with only 4 hours and 10 minutes of sleep since the latest they can go to bed is at 1:50AM and they wake up at 6AM every day.
- The Rival: Matheo sees them as one because he's jealous that they can cure diseases that he can't, like Rue's long-term illness. He also sees them as a threat to his family's tradition of using all-natural cures and fears that he'll go out of business because of them.
- Unnecessary Combat Roll: They can dodge-roll out of the way of monster attacks while fighting them to collect potion ingredients from them. It makes them temporarily invincible, but there's a short cooldown period before they can dodge-roll again.

- Canine Companion: The Chemist brings him along to Moonbury, and he can help sniff out ingredients and residents once they build a bond with him.

Dr. Nestor's two assistants, who check on the Chemist's progress in rebuilding Moonbury's trust in the Medical Association. They give the Chemist exams to promote their badge so they can access more areas on the island.

- Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them: The serious Moira can't stand the cheerful Collin's jokes, but her life would be boring without him around.
- Eyes Always Shut: Collin's eyes are always closed in a way that conveys his cheerfulness without his mouth being visible in his sprite, contrasting Moira's open, stern-looking eyes.

- Workaholic: Moira takes her job as assistant at the Medical Association so seriously, she works tirelessly for weeks and is determined to finish whatever projects she's started. As a result, Collin decides to tour Moonbury to encourage her to take a break with him, which Dr. Nestor agrees with.
