Main Characters
Charlotte LeStrange
The focus of the story. A young witch from the Chesuncook Coven, who attracted the attention of Miskatonic University after taming some rampant Shoggoths. She's hired to do some investigation on their behalf, but it's established early on that she'll eventually "ruin everything".
- Big Anime Eyes: Charlotte has noticeably larger eyes than most of the University's residents, and it makes her look cute... right up until she reveals just why those eyes are special.
- Black Eyes of Evil: Inverted. Charlotte’s Lovecraftian Superpower “magic eyes” makes them go black. It looks evil and creepy, but she only means to use it for benign or benevolent purposes such as freeing a character from a vat of malignant goo.
- Book Dumb: Charlotte did poorly in elementary school as a child, and was then pulled out of schooling entirely when she was nine to join the Chesuncook Coven once her aptitude for occult studies became clear. This does have a direct effect on her logical thinking and general knowledge of the world.
- Hot Witch: She's conventionally attractive, give or take her unnatural Big Anime Eyes.
- Power Degeneration: Charlotte is able to use her “Magic Eyes” to normalize a vat of primordial goo and free Billy of Dunwich, but the process is so painful her eyes bleed and take a long time to heal.
Lizzy of Dunwich
A being from beyond the veil, who takes the form of a small girl with a love for "grilly cheese".
- Adorable Abomination: Their shadow appearance is actually a construct of the human mind to protect it from processing their madness-inducing true appearance. So if the mind is just making up how they look anyway, why not make them look cute?
- Trademark Favorite Food: She considers grilled cheese sandwiches mankind's only worthwhile creation.
Nutty Anne
A cannibal from England.
- Black Comedy Cannibalism: Which she uses primarily to tease Charlotte.
Madame Marie Peanutbutter
The story's narrator, and the fiancé to Nutty Anne's brother.
- Extra Digits: She has large purple fingers growing out of her head, but it's a common enough mutation in France that nobody's bothered by it.
Rummin Fletcher
A Chesuncook Coven witch that Charlotte treats like a big sister, who turns out to also have a job with Miskatonic.
- Big Sister Mentor: Charlotte looks up to her, and repeatedly accepts the advice Rummin gives her.
- Hive Mind: As a result of becoming a part of Living Heaven.
- Hot Witch: Like Charlotte, she's an attractive woman instead of an old crone.
- Marshmallow Hell: The first thing Rummin does when reuniting with old friend Charlotte.
- Walking Spoiler: Due to becoming the "Leader" of Living Heaven in the final act.
Miskatonic Students and Staff
Mindy in the Morning
The host of an on-campus radio show, who broadcasts at random intervals.
- College Radio: She decided to start one after getting tenure, to everyone's annoyance, as she broadcasts whenever she wants to (including the middle of the night).
- Skewed Priorities: At the end of the story, she's far less concerned with the creation of Living Heaven than she is with her tenure being at risk.
- Sole Survivor: Excluding the main characters, Billy, and Dr. Valentine, by the end of the story, she's the last person at Miskatonic that hasn't been merged into Living Heaven.
- Ultimate Job Security: She frequently boasts on her show that she's gotten tenure, though the player knows from the start that her career will end sooner than expected.
Billy of Dunwich
Lizzy's brother, and fellow abomination.
- Adorable Abomination: Like Lizzy, Billy's true form is incomprehensible to sound minds, who instead see him as a young shadow creature.
Jessica Morgan
A student at Miskatonic that Charlotte can interact with.
- Hive Mind: As a result of becoming a part of Living Heaven.
- Human Notepad: Her attempts to study the Necronomicon have led to its words being burnt into her skin.
Amelia Luceat
A member of Miskatonic's faculty.
- Hive Mind: As a result of becoming a part of Living Heaven.
- Magic Misfire: She has facial scars from trying to decipher a grimoire whose writer intentionally made its magic backfire in case someone tried to steal their work.
Sammy Kappuli
- Hive Mind: As a result of becoming a part of Living Heaven.
Dr. Valentine
The head of Miskatonic University.
- Big Bad: He's ultimately the one responsible for creating Living Heaven, and then letting it loose from Miskatonic's basement.
