- Shipper on Deck: Zig-Zagged. While Sprig was initially distrusting of Marcy, he grew to become a huge supporter of MarcAnne and even helped them get together with the help of Wartwood’s citizens... but he’s so supportive to the point where when Anne and Marcy started dating Sasha, he formulated a plan to ruin Sasha’s first dates with Anne and Marcy in order to “protect” MarcAnne. He does thankfully come around to it, though he is tied up while the Wartwood Resistance works together to help Anne and Sasha get back together.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Sprig is initially paranoid of Marcy thanks to his negative experience with Sasha, and tries to back up his claims that Marcy might be planning to betray them by bringing up the concept of evil Kamen Riders. Of course, once Marcy saves him, he starts to change his mind.

The Night and Its Followers
The Night (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
The Night/The Core/Darcy/Kamen Rider Terminus
A collection of Amphibia’s greatest minds preserved in a robotic collective, empowered by a mysterious substance called Dark Ichor, which gave it magical powers. Now, they have the ability to transform the people and wildlife of Amphibia into deadly monsters called Fallen.- Adaptational Badass:
- The Core was already an incredibly deadly and calculating villain, but thanks to the Dark Ichor, it has access to supernatural abilities too. After possessing Marcy, the Core isn’t bound by the cable which led to its defeat at the hands of Sasha in canon (and can even take it off without losing control over Marcy's body), and becoming a Kamen Rider makes them near unstoppable.
- During the final battle with the three Calamity Riders, the Core managed to transform its moon form into a giant robot and then infusing it with Dark Ichor. This new form gave it a healing factor and made it capable of holding its own against them, including Amp with the full power of all three Calamity Gems.
- Adaptational Relationship Overhaul:
- Oddly enough, this is a case where it applies to a Hive Mind of all things. In canon, Darcy served as the avatar for the Core and did most of the talking with the occasional mention of Aldrich. In this story, Aldrich and Darcy are shown communicating with each other more often and tend to get into disagreements on what kinds of strategies they should use to accomplish their goals.
- Since Marcy has feelings for Anne, Darcy is more considerate of Anne and worries about her, albeit in a more possessive way. It's because of these feelings that the Core decides to delete Darcy from their hive mind.
- Adaptational Sexuality: Like Marcy, Darcy has feelings for Anne and Sasha.
- Big Bad: Of the entire story.
- Blood Knight: After making Marcy its vessel, Darcy is very eager to show off her new powers as a Kamen Rider.
- Cool Bike: Terminus’ motorcycle is called Machine Razer, a bike made from the Core’s technology that mimics the ones the other Riders have.

I mean, really, you HAVE to be kidding me right now.Sasha/Kamen Rider Bellona: ... WHAT THE ACTUAL F--!!!
- Even Evil Has Standards: While it's partially motivated by her feelings for Anne, Darcy is still horrified by the Core using the Omega Protocol because it could wipe out Amphibia in addition to the Calamity Gems.
- Evil Counterpart: Terminus is one to the other Calamity Riders.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Do you really expect someone called Kamen Rider Terminus to be a friendly person?
- Robot Wizard: The Core is a hive mind of Amphibia’s greatest minds preserved through technology, but with the Dark Ichor, it becomes this trope as the Night.
- Talking to Themself: Since Darcy is a separate conscious from both the Core and Marcy, she has the capability to do this, best shown when the other minds in the Core scold her for almost letting Anne poison her.The Core: You should’ve killed her. You came too close to letting her debilitate us.Darcy: Please, I was in complete control of the situation. I knew something was up when she started to act like she didn’t want to defend everyone and tried to "seduce" me. Not going to lie, that was fun. And I was hoping she was going to do something, well, other than poison me. Heh-heh.The Core: Do not let your desires get ahead of the objective. We need to conquer Earth. We need its resources to replenish what we lost. We need to find the Dark Dimension, again. And only then can the full conquest of the multiverse, our sacred birthright, recommence.
- We Can Rule Together: Darcy says this as part of her marriage proposal to Anne.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Right before initiating the Omega Protocol, the Core deletes Darcy from its hive mind, having grown tired of her obsession with Anne.

While he is seemingly a benevolent ruler, he is actually in league with the Night.- Adaptational Badass: Not counting his massive size and cybernetics, King Andrias lacked any special abilities on his own, but in this fic, he becomes a Fallen with tentacles that shoot lasers, a resistance to poison, and the ability to fire a powerful laser from his chest.

- The Dragon: Andrias is second-in-command to the Night.
- Irony: Andrias' primary goal is to obtain the Calamity Gems, but he doesn't even know that he was intended to inherit one of them and become the Azure Knight.

The Krampus mentioned in Bring Us Hope, Kamen Rider Witch! was a fair and reasonable demon who, while he punished misbehaving children, never took things too far with their punishments, and even wrote a letter to Luz helping her through a tough time in her life. This Krampus has none of those humanizing qualities, being nothing more than a soulless robot.

- Irony: Barrel feels like he doesn't deserve to hang out with some of his friends given how talented and important they are.
