List of characters in Candies N Curses.
Molli Pop
The main character of Candies N Curses. She's a quiet and brave high school teenager who ventures into the mansion in hopes of putting all the rumors to bed.
- Agent Scully: Molli never bought the rumors that the mansion was haunted, which is why she was eager to accept the dare of going inside.
- Blush Sticker: They're somewhat noticeable on her ingame sprite, and very apparent in more detailed sprites and artwork of her.
- Heroic Mime: She has one short line in the introduction cutscene, but she's silent for the rest of the game.
- Punny Name: Her full name, Molli Pop, is one letter off from Lollipop.
- Skeptic No Longer: After entering the mansion, she quickly realizes that it actually is haunted.
- Sweet Tooth: Her journal entry describes her as being fond of candy.
Oliver
Oliver, also known as Olly, is a young boy who got trapped in the mansion three years before Molli did. He heard rumors that the Candy King lived in the mansion, and in spite of his cowardice, he was willing to go in to find some amazing candy to impress Suzie, a girl he had a crush on.
- Ascended Extra: With the Four Eyes Charm equipped, Olly will explore the mansion with you.
- He Knows About Timed Hits: He often tells Molli about chains, and describes some charms as "heart-boosting charms."
- Hero of Another Story: He explores the mansion independently from Molli.
- Lovable Coward: He's scared of almost everything, sometimes even jumping at Molli, but he's still a likable character.
- Love Makes You Dumb: His crush on Suzie was what led him to become trapped in the mansion in the first place.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: His glasses are blank white, including his appearance in the final cutscene.
Bunber
Bunber is the mansion's butler, and the Phantom King's servant. In spite of this, he's very friendly toward Molli, and serves as the game's tutorial.
- Combat Medic: Should Molli take the Servant's Curse, he will aid her by fighting enemies and providing hearts.
- Dashingly Dapper Derby: He wears his signature bowler hat at all times.
- Haunted House Historian: He's very knowledgeable about the mansion, and will inform Molli on what the ghosts were like before they were cursed.
- Mr. Exposition: He gives the tutorial at the beginning of the game.
- Not So Above It All: He conducts himself professionally, but when teaming up with Molli, he's eager to lob bombs at enemies.
Hector
Hector is a hunter, and part of the Hunter's Society. His job is to seek out and slay ghosts at the mansion. Occasionally he will ask Molli for help in his sidequests.
- Just a Kid: Hector often berates Molli, derisively calling her a kid in his dialogue."A reckless kid like yourself would never understand."
- Mass Monster-Slaughter Sidequest: His quests revolve around this.
Paige
Paige is a peddler who is occasionally encountered in the mansion. She collects ghostly oddities. When she encounters Molli, she offers sidequests by asking to see charms.
- Collector of the Strange: She took her collection to the mansion to find strange trinkets.
- Fetch Quest: She asks Molli to come to her with a specific charm equipped.
- In the Hood: She wears a bright green one.
Ghost King
Ghost King is the boss of Halls of Sorrow. He attacks by summoning clones of himself and charging down multiple floors. He is replaced by Ghost Baron in Curse Crusher mode.
- Fake King: He wears a crown and has "king" in his name, but he was simply Candy King's apprentice and even the ghosts who serve him dislike him.
- Flunky Boss: Every third attack, he will appear in the middle of the room and summon three wraiths. Ghost Baron takes this further, spawning several wraiths at a time while using his normal attacks.
- King Mook: To the wraiths.
- Self-Duplication: Summons clones of himself to attack Molli.
- Warm-Up Boss: With his simple patterns and easy to read attacks, it makes sense that he's the first boss.
Fire Spirit
Fire Spirit is the boss of Ember Cellar. He chases Molli while attacking with flames. He is replaced by Blaze Devil in Curse Crusher mode.
- Bullfight Boss: One of Blaze Devil's attacks involves charging at Molli a few times, moving in a straight line until he hits a wall and releases a shockwave of flames.
- Flaming Skulls: He's on fire, and appears to be a huge skull.
- Technicolor Fire: Blaze Devil's fire is blue.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: He's known for giving a lot of new players trouble, and he precedes Undead Library, where enemies spawn much more frequently and tend to do more damage than in Halls of Sorrow and Ember Cellar.
Necro Witch
Necro Witch is the boss of Undead Library. She spawns Necro Bones enemies and large Necro Skulls that take up most of the screen. She is replaced by Necro Scholar in Curse Crusher mode.
- Dem Bones: She summons skeletons and large skulls. Necro Scholar attacks with spinning bone projectiles as well.
- Flunky Boss: She summons Necro Bones. Curse Crusher replaces these with Bookworm Bones, and summons Necro Bats as well.

- Flunky Boss: The Pyro version spawns Ember Wraiths from red pumpkins.
- Green Thumb: He utilizes vines and has a passion for gardening.
- The Hyena: Some other bosses have evil laughs, but Jack laughs constantly throughout his boss battle.
- Pumpkin Person: His head is a jack-o-lantern.
- Shmuck Bait: Occasionally Jack will make himself vulnerable, appearing at the bottom floor with only his head visible. If Molli attacks him in this state, he traps her there with vines and surrounds her with bombs. The vines won't stay up for long, though.
Phantom King
Phantom King is the boss of Shudder Shade Study, and the final boss of the mansion. He possesses the Candy King and uses him to do his bidding. He attacks with various elemental attacks. He is replaced by Phantom King Omega in Curse Crusher mode.
