The Sisters

    Senia 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senia.png
For her appearance in Hydrangea After the Rain 

The protagonist, who lost her family and village to a demon raid, only to be saved and adopted by Magaleta. Her days as Magaleta's sister were the happiest times of her life, but everything fell apart when she took a hit for Magaleta, causing her to suffer from a painful curse while her sister attempts to use the Tower of Eternity to cure her. After regaining consciousness, Senia enters the tower herself in order to bring Magaleta home.


  • Attack Deflector: While she's using Phantom Strike, she can block certain projectiles.
  • Badass Adorable: She's a very cute and sweet girl who invokes protective instincts in more than one person... and is also entirely capable of defending herself.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She might be shy and humble to a fault, but she's quite deadly when sufficiently enraged, as Jack-in-the-Chest and Succubus Celith learn the hard way.
  • Blade Spam: In the sequel, her Lightning Tear and Eternity Awakening skills strike multiple times, the former landing 27 hits in a couple of seconds.
  • Conflicting Loyalty: In Hydrangea After the Rain, she has to choose between the Sanctum (and, by association, her old life) and Hugo, as the former condemns the latter for being a warlock. Despite Hugo trying to push her away, as he doesn't want her to discard what she has for his sake, she chooses him and the warlocks.
  • Cool Sword: She wields these in Hydrangea After the Rain, after Hugo criticizes her initial weapon and Little Fairy encourages her to start using elemental swords instead.
  • The Determinator: Despite her fears, she'll plow through anything to save Magaleta. In the third ending, she vows to find Magaleta even though she seems to be trapped in the tower forever. Fittingly, the ending is titled "Eternal Determination."
  • Expy: She's based on Ygnizem Cenia from Ragnarok Online.
  • Fastball Special: Her Fairy Toss has her throw her Fairy Companion a certain distance while piercing through most enemies and obstacles.
  • Flash Step: Her Phantom Strike skill allows her to dash a certain distance while slashing the first enemy she runs into.
  • A Friend in Need: In Breaking Dawn, where she defies the the Sanctum to help Hugo. He tells her to mind her own business; she tells him that she's his friend, so this is her business.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: Senia has to resort to this after breaking her sword. Luckily for her, she manages to find a two-handed sword from a fallen adventurer when fighting a dragon.
  • Hope Bringer: Hugo's note to her reveals that he considered her to be one.
    You're the one who makes me believe that there's hope in this world.
  • Idiot Hero: Senia means well and tries her best, but she's not the brightest bulb around. It's more apparent in Hydrangea After the Rain, where she picks up the much more sensible Hugo as a companion who tends to lampshade her more questionable decisions.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: She's this to Magaleta, who makes it very clear that she'd completely fall apart were anything to happen to her.
  • The Load: In-story, she feels this way around Hugo in the early chapters, given that he's constantly helping her and she can't find a way to return the favour.
  • Magically Inept Fighter: Magaleta notes that Senia has lower than average curse resistance. Plus, Senia is entirely reliant on physical attacks despite the presence of magic wielding enemies.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Downplayed, but violence is her go-to solution for everything. She needs to see the Headmaster of Balder but he's occupied with a guest? Beat up Gritt and enter anyway. Hugo's house is locked? Break in! (He stops her.) The Fairy Queen doesn't seem to recognize her? Beat her up too!
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After killing Magaleta in the second ending, she's completely despondent.
  • No Sense of Direction: She frequently gets lost if others aren't there to guide her.
  • Old Shame: In-universe, she's not too proud of the blueprints she made for the Hydrangea Sword and Violet Crystal Armor.
  • One-Woman Army: Other than her Fairy Companion, who serves as a projectile, she fights solo through the tower.
  • Only Friend: To Briella, who's Lonely at the Top and jumps at the chance to befriend someone who isn't too concerned with her status as Bishop.
  • Pint Sized Power House: Despite her small stature, she's skilled with using a two-handed sword.
  • Plagued by Nightmares: When tapped on the Start Screen, Senia mentions that she has multiple nightmares. It's not stated what they're about, but probably have something to do with her hometown being razed by demons and her sister figure being trapped in a tower.
    Senia: Another nightmare...
  • Prone to Tears: She's often crying, but given her circumstances, who can blame her? Also note that this in no way slows her down.
  • Replacement Goldfish: Magaleta finds her appearance similar to her deceased sister, Nia. Obviously, Senia isn't too comfortable with being this trope to the point where the very thought consumes her when she gets possessed by Eternity in the second ending, causing her to kill Magaleta. To be fair to Magaleta, she realized this unfairness at some point and vowed to defy this trope.
  • Shrinking Violet: The idea of talking to strangers tends to intimidate her. Magaleta notes it's one of the major differences between her and Nia.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: After using Eternity Burst, Senia will have Dull Eyes of Unhappiness while having higher strength and regeneration for a short time.
  • Supporting Protagonist: In the Breaking Dawn arc. While she has her own conflict in the form of choosing which side to be on, she's primarily there to support Hugo and his goals.
  • Sword Plant: Splash Leap makes her jump forward one panel while damaging a certain area in front of her.
  • Taking Up the Mantle: After Hugo's death, she vows to see his dream through.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Tomboy to Briella's Girly Girl. When Briella takes her shopping and asks what she'd like to check out, all Senia can come up with is weapons, before Briella insists on something cuter like accessories.
  • Tragic Bigot: She fears and hates warlocks, who summon demons, not in the least because they destroyed her village and later cursed her. However, meeting Hugo and Hugh has her realize they aren't inherently evil, and while most become mass murderers, the second act revolves around her wondering if maybe this is because society has ostracized them and driven them into a corner for suffering from Power Incontinence.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Thanks to the demon attack on her village, she's more scared of demons than other enemies. She completely freezes up when the Demon Lord transforms into a similar looking demon to the one that killed her parents.
  • Wrecked Weapon: Her Infinity +1 Sword and armor are damaged in the tutorial, but the last area contains the blueprints needed to reforge them.
  • Yandere: In the second ending, she gets possessed by Eternity, which fuels her fears that Magaleta only sees her as a replacement for Nia, causing her to kill Magaleta.

    Magaleta 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magaleta.png
For her appearance in Hydrangea After the Rain 

Senia's adoptive older sister, who is a priestess of the Sanctum. However, she ventures into the Tower of Eternity by herself, causing Senia to follow her.


  • Badass in Distress: Essentially, her role. Being a One-Man Army Church Militant can't help you when you're trapped in the Tower of Eternity, and thus the plot is to save her.
  • Beam Spam: While most bosses in this game are fond of this trope, her second form is the most trigger happy boss when it comes to lasers.
  • Big Damn Heroes: She first meets Senia by saving her from a demon and later saves her again from the Demon Lord's One-Winged Angel form.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She climbs the Tower of Eternity in hopes of lifting the curse on Senia, even though she knows she probably won't be able to leave after getting her wish.
  • Broken Ace: According to the bonus room, she puts up a warm front as a powerful priestess, but she's tormented by her grim past of losing her parents and sister while blaming herself for the latter loss. While she worked hard to save Senia, she never realized that she needed salvation too until it was too late.
  • Church Militant: As a priestess, she's tasked with fighting demons with holy magic.
  • Cleavage Window: Her outfit in the sequel.
  • The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: As pointed out in the Developer's Room, despite Magaleta's desire to save her sister, she's really the one who needs to be saved.
  • Crystal Dragon Jesus: Thanks to being based on a high priestess from Ragnarok Online, she and her church have Christian motifs. Even the enemies in her area are nuns, angels, and fallen angels.
  • Expy: She's based on Magaleta Sorin from Ragnarok Online.
  • Fanservice Pack: Her design is remade to be somewhat more revealing in the sequel, compared to her modest outfit in the original.
  • Fighting from the Inside: She sometimes regains her sanity while possessed by Eternity. This is especially noticeable in the 3rd ending, where she manages to say goodbye to Senia despite absorbing all her Eternity.
  • Final Boss: While possessed by Eternity, she serves as Senia's last opponent.
  • Fisher King: She's the lord of the last area, Fallen Sanctum, causing the whole place to look like her church.
  • Go Out with a Smile: Her smiling body can be seen in ending 2, happy that she and Senia will be together.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: She knows she won't be able to leave the tower once she gets her wish, meaning this was her goal from the start. In the third ending, she takes all of the Eternity in Senia and stays in the tower.
  • Hypocritical Humor: She chastises Senia for risking a journey into the tower to save her, even though she went into the tower to save Senia in the first place.
  • Knight Templar: In the sequel, she realizes she may have become this, as she judged warlocks to be evil and thus has had no issue with wiping them out. However, her reaction to Senia's decision to side with them implies that at heart, she knows that her reasons came from a place of hate and may have not been justified.
  • Lady of Black Magic: Combined with White Magician Girl, Magaleta is a feminine, graceful, and powerful priestess with strong spells. But instead of the "Black Magic" she has holy Light 'em Up spells.
  • Light Is Good: She has powerful holy spells and healing spells like the priest classes from Ragnarok Online. The good part is zigzagged thanks to Eternity possessing her.
  • Lightning Bruiser: She can fire off spells quickly and cast a movement buff. Even in her first form, she can take a lot of punishment for a mage.
  • Living Emotional Crutch: For Senia in the first game. It's eventually subverted in the sequel, where after rescuing Magaleta, Senia comes to find her own purpose and in fact leaves Magaleta behind (though with a promise to return). Magaleta even notes that Senia is no longer the star that shines on her alone.
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • In the first game, when she realizes just how badly Senia took to being a Replacement Goldfish and never quite accepted how much Magaleta loved her for being her, particularly in the second ending.
    • In the sequel, when Aphinor grants her wish, causing Senia to be possessed by Eternity. Magaleta claims that that wasn't what she wanted, before Aphinor replies that it is—it's the result of her imposing her own desires above what Senia truly wants.
  • My Greatest Failure: When Nia was dying from disease, Magaleta considered going to the Tower of Eternity, but the doctor dissuaded her from attempting the journey. Unfortunately, Nia's death causes her to believe she should have attempted it anyways, despite the danger. As such, she decides it's worth being trapped in the tower to save Senia.
  • One-Winged Angel: In her second phase, she becomes a huge stationary boss with even stronger light attacks and barriers.
  • One-Woman Army: She made through the first two areas by herself despite not being the lord of those places.
  • Playing with Fire: In Hydrangea Under The Rain, she's a fire elemental enemy in the Platinum Trials, despite being a light elemental companion.
  • Simple Score of Sadness: Her original piano score is titled "The Other Side of Sorrow."
  • Stepford Smiler: She never really recovered from Nia's death, and still harbors a lot of pain and guilt behind her pleasant demeanor.
  • Survivor Guilt: She regrets not having been there with her parents when they were killed, even knowing that logically, she would've been of no use and merely ended up as a third coffin.
  • Tragic Bigot: Downplayed. Like Senia, she has a grudge against warlocks because they killed her parents. Despite that, when she learns that Senia is trying to get warlocks to be accepted, Magaleta sides with her. In Chapter 14, she can't let go of her hatred and challenges Medea to a fight, though Senia convinces her to back down.
  • Walking Spoiler: Thanks to the endings and her status as Final Boss, this was inevitable.
  • White Magician Girl: Naturally as a priestess of the Sacred Sanctum, she has powerful healing spells.
  • Yandere: While possessed by Eternity, she decides the only way for her and Senia to be together is to have both of them stay in the tower forever.

    Nia 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0973.PNG
Magaleta's biological younger sister, who passed away before the events of the game.
  • Cheerful Child: Always upbeat; Senia finds her adorable. Even her running animation in Hydrangea After the Rain has her skipping along.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a pure-hearted Cheerful Child with no hidden darkness, unlike Senia or Magaleta.
  • Light 'em Up: Like Magaleta, she's light elemental as a companion.
  • Posthumous Character: While her spirit can sometimes appear, she's long since deceased.
  • Spirit Advisor: The Tower's power can allow her to briefly manifest, in order to help Senia rescue Magaleta.
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: Her side story in Hydrangea After the Rain reveals how lonely she felt, due to how busy her and Magaleta's parents were, though she did her best to remain cheerful nevertheless.

Deities

    Aphinor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0978.PNG
The Goddess of Eternity of the Tower of Eternity.
  • Anti-Villain: At first, she seems like a fanatic who wants to grant wishes by trapping the wisher in a happy dream and she's technically the Greater-Scope Villain of the first game. There's also a legend stating that she cursed her enemies into becoming demons in order to avenge her followers. However, she allows Senia and Magaleta to leave the tower at the end of the first story arc of Hydrangea After the Rain after being impressed that Senia continued resisting her even while in a dream. Additionally, she told Magaleta the folly of trying to take on the burden of saving Senia by herself and Magaleta later thinks she should be thankful to Aphinor, implying that the goddess was really testing the sisters all along. During the Breaking Dawn arc, she continues to give advice to Senia and tells her to go to the depths of Themis's Temple, possibly to get her to help unseal Nos.
  • Freudian Excuse: She started the business of trapping people in blissful dreams because she couldn't protect her followers from being slaughtered.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: She's a goddess, and her clothes are white, with gold trim, and just a few purple accents.
  • Making a Splash: She's Water-Element, when fought, and as a Companion Card.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: She tried to petition her fellow gods to purify Nos rather than seal him away. This caused the other gods to imprison her too.

    Balder 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/balder.png
The God of Wisdom
  • The Atoner: He was one of the gods who sealed away Nos, but now regrets that decision, which is why he's willing to hand over his artifact to Senia's group so they can unseal Nos.
  • Badass Adorable: He looks like a cute little boy, whom Briella enjoys teasing, but he's still a god with the power to match.
  • Blow You Away: Like Briella and Seti, he's wind elemental.

    Nos 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nos.png
For his purified appearance 
The God of Magic
  • Defeat Means Friendship: After being purified, he gives up on revenge and gives Themis's artifact back to Senia so she can make peace with the church.
  • Horned Humanoid: They come from the back of his head, instead of the usual front. With his Red and Black and Evil All Over style, he looks demonic. He still has horns after being purified and getting a white and blue color scheme.
  • Playing with Fire: He's fire elemental as both an enemy and ally.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: His corrupted appearance takes on a red and black colour scheme, but it reverts to white and blue after he's purified.

    Themis 
The Goddess of Justice
  • Cruel to Be Kind: She expels Senia and Magaleta from the Sanctum because they would be targeted by those who disagree with the trial's outcome.
  • Light 'em Up: Her element is light and her trial battle drops a light elemental sword.
  • Secret Test of Character: Despite being the reason why Veracia helped Senia purify the warlocks, she doesn't publicly support that goal because the public won't forgive the warlocks so easily. She only publicly agrees once Senia beats her in a divine trial.

    Kulian 
The Guardian of Fate.
  • Ambiguously Human: She's considered the Guardian of Fate and is a separate person from Yunoli, the actual Goddess of Fate. Despite that, her Realm of Gods trial classifies her as the Goddess of Fate. She's also strong enough to defeat four deities by herself, implying that she's a similarly divine being.
  • Casting a Shadow: She uses the dark element and her Domain of Trials fight drops a dark elemental sword.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Played with. She defeats Aphinor, Balder, Nos, and Themis by herself and seals them in crystals. Even when they're freed, they're no longer in a state where they can affect the world, though they state that they'll eventually return. However, it's ambiguous if she's mortal or a divine being, since she's the Guardian of Fate rather than the Goddess of Fate.
  • Have You Seen My God?: According to her start screen dialogue, she believes her goddess, Yunoli, abandoned her and the world.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: She wants to create a new world where tragedies such as the warlock curse never occured, even if it means wiping the gods and many people from existence, as well as erasing any memories of the old timeline.

    Yunoli 
The Goddess of Fate.
  • Ambiguously Evil: She has a cold demeanor and Medea finds her fearsome, yet she gives Medea a memento of Astaria, allowing the latter to resist Kulian's ideal world, all while stating that she's curious about what path Medea will choose. This implies that Kulian is unknowingly acting against Yunoli's wishes or that Yunoli is secretly testing the protagonists.
  • The Unfought: Despite being the final goddess to be introduced, her guardian, Kulian, is the boss of chapter 15 and the tenth enemy in the Realm of Gods.
  • The Unseen: There is artwork for Kulian, but not Yunoli. However, the narration states that she has ashen hair and a black cloak, which is the opposite color scheme as Kulian.

Fairies

    Little Fairy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_fairy.png
Senia's only companion in the Tower of Eternity.
  • Damsel in Distress: When she met Senia for the first time, she was chased by a Mountain Spider.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": A little fairy named "Little Fairy".
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In the first game, she was represented by RTP assets. In Hydrangea After The Rain, she now has a character design by Hitsuki Rei that somewhat resembles the RTP fairy.
  • Fastball Special: She acts as Senia's One Hit Poly Kill projectile when the heroine uses Fairy Attack by throwing her.
  • Healing Potion: She drops a potion that can heal 30% of Senia's total health as a skill in the second game. It may also provide other benefits depending on what runes are used.
  • Invisible to Normals: Apparently can't be seen by most people. When Senia joins up with Hugo, she initially ignores Little Fairy so that it doesn't seem like she's talking to thin air—except it turns out that he can see her as well. (As can the rest of their eventual companions.)
  • Living Emotional Crutch: A bit of one to Senia in the sequel, given that she's been Senia's most constant companion. When it seems like they have to part ways before Senia has rescued Magaleta, Senia breaks down and admits to Little Fairy that as selfish as it is, she needs her.
  • Mr. Exposition: Female, but still... In Hydrangea After The Rain, in the second Rebuilt Renata cutscene, she explains the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors system, and when Senia asks her how she knows this, all she says is:
    Because I'm Little Fairy!
  • Progressively Prettier: While she isn't bad looking in the first game, she looks younger and more adorable in the sequel.
  • Use Your Head: In the sequel, she can attack with a headbutt that severely damages the enemy. There are two versions, one where she randomly appears and attacks when tapped, generating a large number of crystals, and the other being a replacement for the Healing Potion skill.
  • You Are in Command Now: After Mafka's defeat in Hydrangea After The Rain, she states that she's becoming too weak to protect the Tower of Eternity's forest and asks Little Fairy to take over leadership, since the forest inside the tower doesn't generate mana like outside forests. Little Fairy decides to have the fairies evacuate the tower and find a different forest so that Mafka can remain leader, though in the second arc, she's still researching on that.

    Malphiq / Mafka 
The queen of the Fairy Forest, as well as the Wind Fairy Monarch.
  • Blow You Away: In the Hydrangea After The Rain, she's wind elemental and her Platinum Trial fight drops a 5-star wind sword. Her passives as an ally buffs Senia's wind damage.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: In the first game, she's possessed by Eternity and requires Senia to defeat her in order to absorb Eternity. In the second game, she attacks the party because she senses that Hugo is a warlock, but ceases hostilities afterwards.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: At the very least, Briella gushes over her and claims that she makes her heart race.
  • Flunky Boss: In the first game, she can summon various plant life to back her up, including exploding mushrooms.
  • Sudden Name Change: She was named Malphiq in the first game, but her name changed to Mafka in the second.

Sanctum

    Rita 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0971_0.PNG
A knight of the Sanctum, she's the one who taught Senia swordfighting.
  • The Ace: Senia even admits that she's honoured someone as impressive as Rita befriended her.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: She doesn't take Senia joining Medea and Hugo well, despite understanding her reasons.
  • Expy: She resembles Saber from Fate/stay night, if Saber has a ponytail in exchange for a crown.
  • Heel–Face Turn: She forgives Senia and allows her to go to the court room where Magaleta's trial is being held.
  • Knight In Shining Armour: The impression she gives. Though it veers somewhat into Knight Templar territory with her horror that Senia has decided to side with the warlocks.
  • Light 'em Up: She's light elemental as a boss.
  • Master Swordswoman: Her Lebrun style stance allows her to block anything that isn't Eternal Awakening. She can also counter Phantom Strike whenever it's used.
  • Playing with Fire: She's fire elemental as a companion.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Senia's longtime best friend and the one who gifted her the sword that Senia broke in the first game, but is never mentioned (presumably because her character hadn't been conceived at the time).

    Lila 
A knight of the Sanctum and one of Rita's closest followers.
  • Blow You Away: Her element is wind.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: She holds Senia in contempt for betraying Rita's trust and siding with Medea, resulting in Rita getting demoted.

    Veracia 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0972_5.PNG
The headmaster of the Sanctum.
  • Elemental Hair Colors: She uses Water as her Companion Card element, and she has blue hair.
  • Making a Splash: She's water elemental as a boss and as a companion.
  • Mysterious Past: She shares some kind of history with Medea, since both know a person called Astaria.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: In contrast to the Sanctum's Knight Templar image, Veracia is fairly sympathetic to the plight of the warlocks, even if she stands against them nevertheless, and doesn't begrudge Hugo for attacking the Sanctum. In fact, she essentially gives Senia permission to go and help him.

Holy Capital Baldr

    Briella 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0974.PNG
The cheery Bishop of Balder. She runs into Senia whilst she's looking for information on the Tower of Eternity in the city of Balder and chooses to accompany her on her quest.
  • Beautiful Singing Voice: Briella, as noted in multiple places:
    • One of the things Little Fairy can say when she's the character in the Start Screen and tapped, is:
      Briella's voice is beautiful! I want to hear her sing again!
    • When she's encountered singing in Balder, when all Senia just hears her voice, she thinks:
      What a beautiful voice...
  • Blow You Away: Uses wind elemental attacks as a companion.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Not quite all there at times. When the party meets Mafka, Briella talks about how she's pretty and her voice makes her want to obey her... while she's trying to kill Hugo, who understandably is not pleased by Briella's Skewed Priorities.
  • Cool Big Sis: To the others, especially Sophie.
  • Genius Ditz: She can be a airhead, but her skills as a bishop are the real deal, as Seti assures the group.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Blond hair, and she's the kind and innocent (if somewhat ditzy) Bishop of Balder.
  • Lonely at the Top: Given her high position, she doesn't have many genuine friends and is elated at the chance to befriend Senia.
  • No Hero to His Valet: One of her hobbies is teasing Balder, her god.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: She appears to do this on occasion—when she heads out with Little Fairy on the pretext of leisure time, Hugo suspects that she actually knew that he and Senia were sneaking in to take Balder's artifact and came to intercept them.
  • Orphan's Ordeal: She tells Senia about her past, and how she once thought her parents had abandoned her, leaving her feeling bitter and unwanted, only to learn that they'd actually died. Despite the revelation, she was relieved, because it meant that her parents hadn't left her behind of their own volition.
  • Secret-Keeper: She's aware long before Senia is that undoing the seal on Nos will kill Hugo.
  • Stepford Smiler: Implied. There are moments that suggest she has her own struggles, but she's quick to cover them up with a smile and her typical ditzy attitude.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl who introduces accessories and the like to the Tomboy Senia.
  • Weight Woe: One of her system quotes has her bemoan that she's putting on weight... and then another quote has her immediately blame Seti for giving her so many treats.
  • White Magician Girl: She heals Hugh of his curse using her abilities.

    Seti 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0976.PNG
The headmaster of Balder.

Warlocks and Demons

    Demon Lord 
The boss of the Demon Frontier.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: In the second game, he changed his wardrobe and now wears a dark suit.
  • Characterization Marches On: In the first game, he was just a generic Evil Overlord who wanted to attack the Fairy Forest for no reason at all. The second game reveals that he wants revenge on Themis and anyone who persecutes warlocks.
  • Chuunibyou: His second passive as a party member is called Eight Grade Syndrome and he's rather bombastic when addressing the party.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: While he has a point about the Church of Themis being more corrupt than they appear, Hugo states that the Demon Lord's goal of taking over the world and "reforming" it is just a mask for revenge.
  • One-Winged Angel: After he loses to Senia in his humanoid form, he transforms into a big hairy monster only to be one-shotted by Magaleta. He only fights in his humanoid form in the second game.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Downplayed. While he's powerful, he's not as high up in the food chain as he thinks he is. In the second game, he brags that the corruption and the power of Eternity make him invincible, but Senia thinks to herself that Magaleta already defeated him in the previous game.
  • Was Once a Man: His dialogue in the second game indicates that he was once a warlock.
  • We Can Rule Together: In the first game, he offers to make Senia his minion, though she refuses because he wants to destroy the Fairy Forest. In the second game, he invites Hugo to join him in taking revenge on Themis for their persecution.

    Hugo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0969_4.PNG
A mage from the village of Nuothe who runs into Senia while working on the same request as her, he's persuaded to aid her in her quest to rescue Magaleta. Has a brother named Hugh, who's suffering from a curse. As it turns out, he's actually a warlock, who are hunted by the Sanctum.
  • All for Nothing: He accepts the power of corruption so that he can defeat Medea and lift her fatal curse on Hugh, only to still find himself too weak, and thus Hugh dies in his arms.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: As a warlock, he knows that if his identity is ever revealed, he'll at best be shunned by society and hunted down and killed at worst.
  • Badass Bookworm: A capable mage and an avid reader, if his collection of books is any indication.
  • Break His Heart to Save Him: Platonic example, but when he returns in the second act, he deliberately acts as if he Took a Level in Jerkass to Senia, claiming he's not the Hugo she once knew... except he very much is. It turns out he was trying to keep her from interfering and being labelled as a traitor by the Sanctum, as she'd just gotten her sister back and he didn't want to ruin that for her.
  • Casting a Shadow: His element as a boss, as he's fighting as a corrupted warlock.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's a good guy, despite his all-dark clothing and and the true nature of his magic.
  • Deal with the Devil: He ultimately gives in to corruption in an attempt to save Hugh, though after initially losing control, he's determined not to meet the typical fate of warlocks. In a somewhat literal sense, the Demon Lord tries to strike an alliance with him, only for Hugo to soundly refuse.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: The ritual to unseal Nos requires the sacrifice of a corrupted warlock, and he chooses to take this role.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: What the Flavor Text on his Companion Card says:
    A cold exterior that hides a gentle heart.
  • Hunter of His Own Kind: He has no issue with taking out warlocks who attack villages, despite being one himself (minus the attacking villages part).
  • An Ice Person: Primarily casts ice magic.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He tends to be rather brusque with people, but he helps Senia pretty readily and is determined to protect his village. For all that he dislikes talking to others, Senia comes to note that one of his first and foremost qualities is his selflessness.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes turn red when he's struggling with corruption.
  • Tragic Keepsake: Hugh's pocket watch, which Hugo takes after his death. Ultimately, he passes it onto Senia before his sacrifice, leaving behind a message in it.
  • Tsurime Eyes: As befitting his Tsundere nature, in contrast to the laidback Hugh who has Tareme Eyes instead.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Subverted. It's generally the fate of all warlocks to become this and Veracia assumes Hugo to be one when he attacks the Sanctum. However, she then realizes he's driven by the desire to change the world for the better, not by despair, and she apologizes for getting the wrong idea about him.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: Due to the growing suspicion that he's a warlock, there's no place for Hugo in Nuothe anymore. After the main story, while everyone else returns to their homes (or in Sophie and Little Fairy's case, to Balder with Briella), Hugo disappears into the unknown instead.
  • You Shall Not Pass!: At the end of the Demon Frontier level, he stays behind to prevent Medea from advancing any further.

    Hugh 
Hugo's older brother. As with Hugo, he's a warlock, which he keeps hidden.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Like Hugo, he's aware that he'll be persecuted if he's ever outed to be a warlock, as well as the fact that Nuothe already suspects the truth—the only reason they haven't been cast out is because people are afraid of crossing them.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: In Hugo's, after being cursed.
  • Non-Player Character: Unlike most of the cast, he isn't playable in any form.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Senia's mildly surprised to find that where Hugo is serious and unfriendly, Hugh is laidback and cheerful. More surprising to her, however, is the one trait they pointedly share: an unwillingness to get close to others.
  • Taking the Bullet: When Medea tries to curse Hugo, Hugh intervenes, taking the attack instead.

    Medea 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0977.PNG
An infamous warlock who seeks to reawaken Nos.
  • Casting a Shadow: Dark elemental as a companion and as a boss.
  • Disney Death: In Chapter 15, it's stated that attempting to break the crystal sealing the gods is fatal. Medea does this in place of Senia and seemingly dies, but the ending scenes show that she lived, though with significant eye injuries.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In her main menu quotes and a conversation with Veracia, she remembers someone named Astaria fondly.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: In her main menu quotes, she's baffled that Senia wants to remain friends with Hugo despite knowing he's a warlock.
  • The Extremist Was Right: In the epilogue of "Breaking Dawn," her plan to purify Nos is successful and the previously Mad God now supports her plan to get society to accept warlocks.
  • Jerkass: She attacks Hugo and Hugh for seemingly no reason and mocks them for being weak. Even when Hugo and Senia team up with her, she's unwilling to show mercy to anyone from the Sanctum.
  • Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She wears an elegant (if revealing), ruffly dress and a corset.
  • Pet the Dog: She offers to be sacrificed in Hugo's place in order to awaken Nos, but Hugo insists on keeping that role because her power is needed in the upcoming fight with Nos.
  • Purple Is Powerful: A predominantly purple colour scheme, and the strongest warlock in existence.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: As someone who's mastered corruption, her eyes are permanently red.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: She's behind the plan to unseal and purify Nos so that warlocks will no longer go mad from their powers. Surprisingly, Hugo and Senia end up agreeing with her goal and joining her, despite how she antagonized them in the main story.

Other

    Sophie & Alpaca 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0975.PNG
A young girl accompanied by a talking doll named Alpaca who's searching for her parents when she meets the party. She's actually from the distant past, when the Tower of Eternity was still the Temple of Aphinor.
  • Casting a Shadow: Her attacks are dark elemental.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Just an innocent little girl, even with her dark element type and color scheme.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": As Alpaca doesn't remember his real name, Sophie just calls him Alpaca—much to his displeasure, because he knows once she starts, that's actually going to become his de facto name! (Of course, it sticks.)
  • Fastball Special: Attacks by throwing Alpaca at the enemy.
  • Identity Amnesia: Alpaca has no memory of who he really is.
  • Orphan's Ordeal: Her parents were among Aphinor's slaughtered followers, and Sophie is living deeply in denial. Luckily, the party helps her move on, and Briella takes her back to Balder.
  • Parental Substitute: Alpaca is one for Sophie... or as much as a talking doll can be one. As nice as the sentiment is, Hugo points out that he really can't look after her.
  • Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Pale blue hair, and rather quiet.
  • Tough Love: Alpaca can be very blunt to Sophie, but it's always meant for her own good.
