Leo (LiEat I)

Sid (LiEat III)
Al (LiEat Novel)
A traveling con artist with many identities. He tells lies like they're breaths. He changes his appearance and name at each new town.

- Badass Longcoat: The red longcoat with white turfs of fur Leo wears.
- Big Bad Friend: He becomes a part of the Big Bad Ensemble with Cyril Leonhearts during III, where he is later devoured by the Lies at the final level of the game, making him the Final Boss that Efina has to defeat.
- Break the Badass: What Cyril manages to do. The outcome depends on Efi.
- Cool Big Bro: Teo was this to Cyril, Enos, and Gene when they were younger.
- Child Hater: Due to having to care for Efi, he has a dislike of children in general.The idea that kids are cute has got to be a fantasy dreamt up by people who’ve never had to be with a kid all the time. Can’t see “cute” in them - “odious” is the right word.
- Consummate Liar: His character description notes that “he tells lies as easily as he breathes”. Efi can’t detect or manifest his lies despite her being a Living Lie Detector spending most of her time around him.
- Devious Daggers: His weapons are knifes. His skills are knife-themed. When he has to act as a guard in the second game, he even mentions how he has no clue how to deal with people without using knifes (and mentions in another dialogue that he simply used them in secret when he had to).
- Heroic Sacrifice: If Efi and Leo lose to Keith in the first game, he throws himself in front of Keith's spear to protect her.
- I Have Many Names: Changes his name at each town he goes to. Since Leo is a con artist, he has to operate under various names. In the second game, he's Harold, in the third he's Sid, and in the novel he’s Al. His real name is Teobaldo Leonharts.
- In the Back: If pestered long enough, Hal will admit that he only got rid of an annoying customer because he pressed a hidden knife into his back to threaten him.
- Locked into Strangeness: Lie-corrupted Teo's hair changes to black and white.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Leo in the first game, bonus a ponytail.
- Parental Substitute: Since Efi hatched in front of him, she thinks of him as her father. While he doesn't show it with a few exceptions, he loves her at least as much as she does.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: When Teo becomes corrupted by lies, his eyes turn red. Harold has red eyes in the second game, too.
- Scars Are Forever: Teo has a scar from when he gave up one of his kidneys to get money for his adopted siblings to live off of. There’s also a scar on his left cheek, which is always there despite his constant change of appearance.
- Tsundere: It gets lampshaded in the good ending of the third game.Efi: Do you like me?Sid: Don't hate you.
Efina
Efina in LiEat I
Efina in LiEat II
Efina in LiEat III
Efina in LiEat Novel
A young dragon girl can eat lies. She travels around with Leo/Harold/Sid/Al, who she considers her papa.
- Girlish Pigtails: Efi gets some in the second game.
- Heroic Sacrifice: If Efi has went through the eye, but is under level 13, she over expends her powers to save Teo from his lies, dying in the process.
- In-Series Nickname: People usually call her "Efi".
- Line-of-Sight Name: Teo named her after a character from a book he was reading at the time.
- Living Lie Detector: Efina can turn lies into physical entities which she can eat, meaning that people who lie will cause the little critters to manifest. But Efi is young and inexperienced, meaning that she can tell when a person's lying but can't tell which exact statement is a lie, especially if someone says a lot of things at once. This causes multiple critters to appear, but only one of them is actually a lie. The fact that Efi knows that Leo lies a lot, considering his job, but can't tell when he's lying is a plot point.
- Only One Name: Efina has no last name.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Dragons are humanoid beings born from wishes. When someone wishes for something extremely hard, an egg will form, and from that egg will hatch a dragon. Efi was born from Teo's desire to be able to eat lies.
- Playing with Fire: She can breathe powerful gouts of fire.
- Pointy Ears: The dragons have these, so does she.
- Adorably Precocious Child: NOBODY hates her. Everyone treats her with nothing but kindness, is smitten by her cuteness and naive personality and the two times someone does hurt her, one happens from a vampire doesn't know what she's doing and the other admits that it wasn't intended.
- Sweet Tooth: Even her equipment is sweets themed.
- Too Dumb to Live: Efi (or the player) in the Bad End of the first game. Sending a little clueless girl into a dark alley at night after several warnings is definitely a good idea.
- Winged Humanoid/Horned Humanoid: Dragons have wings and horns but usually hide them. She can put them out, but only one at at time, and they are really "wonky" shaped and wear her out very quickly.
- Younger Than They Look: Looks like a little kid, is under a year old.
Neil Masefield
Captain of the police force. An immortal dragon.
- Age Without Youth: Though he's called an immortal dragon, his ability only heals wounds, meaning he still ages and will die of natural causes.
- Eyepatch of Power: He is the police captain and wears one to show off his high status. The third game specifically mentions that it is see-through, so he wears it just to look cool. It was a gift from the children along with his hairpins.
- Immortality: Neil's ability is immortality, which gives him Nigh-Invulnerability and a very limited perception of pain.
- Inspector Lestrade: He often tends to antagonize Leo for being a con artist, but he is an invaluable ally in each of the cases.
- Pointy Ears: The dragons have these.
- Really 700 Years Old: Neil appears to be in his thirties (according to his profile, anyways) but is actually around 100 years old.
- Winged Humanoid: Dragons have wings and horns but usually hide them. He showed them off to Efi once in the first game, and they looked pretty cool.
Brett Graves
Vice-captain of the police force, a young dragon of shadow. Kind to dragons, but detests people.
- Casting a Shadow: His power as a dragon utilizes shadows. He can pull shadows out of the ground as jagged, black shapes that can hold swords and uses them to attack. He can also use his shadow like a sort of Hammerspace and to teleport.
- Dark and Troubled Past: The reason for his general attitude and hate towards humans come from his difficult past, as he was locked in a cage since he was born, tortured and treated as an attraction.
- Fantastic Racism: Distrusts human because of his abused past.
- Fiery Redhead: In contrast to his power, he has red hair and a rough, short-tempered, brutally honest personality.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Starting with the second game, he ties his long hair into a side ponytail. It’s braided and tied with a black ribbon in the third game.
- Pointy Ears: The dragons have these.
- Winged Humanoid/Horned Humanoid: Dragons have wings and horns but usually hide them. His are black and shadowy, fitting his power.

- Classy Cravat: It’s hard to see in his sprite due to the coat and hair, but the concept art and CG depicted him wearing one.
