Party Members
Mathias Ferrier Adalet
Mathias Ferrier Adalet
Voiced by: Yuuki Inoue (Japanese)
A knight of Adalet who proclaims himself to be the twins' guard, who's absolutely atrocious at flirting with and picking up women. In actuality, he's Mireille's brother and the crown prince of Adalet, but happens to work as a knight.
- Badass Normal: He's the only member of the playable party (even after DLC) to not be an alchemist. When he tries doing alchemy himself at one point, the results are so disastrous that Alt tells him that he should just go back to refining his own talents.Not even a glimmer of something we could work with. I mean, absolutely zero potential at all. Nothing.
- The Badass part in combat relates to his survivability, having better health and defenses than every other character, DLC included.
- Bishie Sparkle: Attempts to turn this on at one point after receiving advice from Alt on how to become more popular with girls. It works about as well as you'd expect.
- Butt-Monkey: When he's on screen, it's almost a given that nothing is going to go in his favor, and the twins certainly don't spare their insults in front of him. For extra humiliation, the player can even have him equip the Puni mask he's wearing in his introduction for the rest of the game.
- Casanova Wannabe: Saying that his flirting attempts go "badly" is a massive understatement.
- Cowardly Lion: Despite being a knight, he's terrified of monsters and will try to back out of a battle if possible, but will gladly help the twins no matter what they end up getting into.
- Crutch Character: In the early stages of the game when there aren't many options for frontliners, his high HP and good defenses make him an effective tank when both twins are up front, as the way defense stand-ins work means that he'll be accepting hits for two characters at once. While he still serves the party well with good area of effect attacks and excellent defenses even into the post game, that is all he remains good for. His offensive with Beast Mode does not come close to matching the power needed for some post game bosses, and while he has access to healing and buffing items, his damage will always remain sub-par, and his speed is not that great either.
- Father, I Want to Marry My Brother: He's far past it now, but apparently he wanted to marry Mireille when he was little, despite the fact she was his sister.
- Forced Transformation: Gets subjected to this when Lucia tests medicine on him that temporarily turns him into a Puni.
- Glass Cannon: His skill Beast Mode makes him into one, trading his defense for significantly higher attack.
- The Heart: He may be relatively inept compared to his sister and a huge klutz, but he legitimately wants to work hard for other people's sake. It's because of this that Mireille considers him to be far more suitable to be a king than she is.
- Made of Iron: The hardest character to kill outright, he serves as a perfect meat shield for the sisters if you put both of them in the front line. His Accel Guard is his fastest skill, which increases defense and restores MP from damage for a while, making him more or less focused on being a tank.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: He's technically a prince, but he spends his time working as a knight for the twins and takes his job quite seriously. The twins believe otherwise, teasing him for being "unemployed" every time he so much as sits around.
Lucia Borthayre
Lucia Borthayre
Voiced by: Reina Ueda (Japanese)
The twins' childhood friend, who runs her prestigious family's shop Atelier Borthayre. While known for being a "flower outside everyone's reach" to the townspeople, she's far more ambitious than that might suggest — but she also is legitimately kind-hearted, and really wants to be friends with the twins.
While initially not playable in the original game, she was later added as DLC.
- Butt-Monkey: Her attempts to be a respectable and clever lady in front of the twins often end up in this, most illustrated when she ends up the victim of being frozen in a chunk of ice by an ice dragon and has to be extracted by the rest of the party.
- Demoted to Extra: Inverted; she has nearly the prominence of a playable character, showing up in almost all the painting events and playing a large role in the twins' story, but, prior to DLC, wasn't actually playable.
- Heroic BSoD: Momentarily shuts down completely when the twins ask her about her dreams in life — apparently she'd been so focused on inheriting the family atelier she'd completely forgotten to even consider any personal goals. Eventually, she decides that kind of goal is good enough for her.
- Large Ham: Easily one of the most dramatic in the way she talks to others.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: She's the twins' cousin, as her father is Roger's brother. When the twins learn about this, she's shocked that they were unaware this entire time.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: She does this a lot, sometimes so forcefully that it sends her into a coughing fit.
- Pining After Protagonist's Parent: Roger was actually her first crush, though she's grown out of it by now.
- Prone to Tears: Apparently she'd been quite the crybaby in her childhood — something the twins are quick to tease her about when reminded about this in Etel Nepica.
- The Rival: Effectively serves as one to the twins, since she's also trying to get her atelier up in the ranks.
- Tsundere: All of her "ambitions" aside, she legitimately wants to be friends with the twins — she just puts up a front of being high and mighty. Suelle eventually gets to read her workbook, and finds a bunch of notes involving her genuinely wanting to take time out her busy schedule to go play with the twins.
- She's actually much more of a workaholic than she lets on, as she's simultaneously succumbing to the pressure of being the heir to Atelier Borthayre and her self-imposed need to be a "role model" for her younger cousins. Her arc eventually boils down to the twins convincing her that it's okay for her to rely on them in return if she needs it.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: It's a wonder she continues to care about the twins so much, given how much they bully and prank each other.
Merveille Townspeople
Roger Malen
Roger Malen
Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese)
The twins' father, a Mad Scientist who's constantly flaking off on the atelier duties, forcing the twins to take matters into their own hands in order to run it like a proper business.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's actually a licensed alchemist, and in his youth was far more motivated to make a name for himself and bring his family to prosperity. Honnete's death broke him, but once the twins start motivating him to shape up, he stages a takeover of Atelier Borthayre.
- Genius Ditz: Roger can make some pretty incredible things when the urge strikes him and is even a licensed alchemist, but his house wouldn't even be able to eat if the girls weren't always cleaning up after him.
- Mad Scientist: He has an awful work ethic and constantly flakes off his duties in running the atelier, but he has a penchant for experimenting and making things explode. Over the course of the game he has the twins assist him in his bizarre experiments, including a tree that produces coll (but drinks in more money that it gives), a potion that grows the drinker to giant size and last but definitely not least, a bomb that could split the planet in half.
- My Greatest Failure: He considers his failure to save Honnete this, to the point he wasn't able to commit himself to doing alchemy afterwards.
- The Promise: He made a number of these to Honnete long before her death — that he'd make the family atelier the best in the country (a promise that the twins eventually take on), that he'd make Honnete happy, and that he'd take them on a journey as a family around the painting worlds. Although he believes he's failed in all of these by the time of Honnete's death, the twins help him make do on them.
- Tragic Keepsake: He began painting what would become the Heavenly Flower Garden as a gift to Honette, but continued working on it as a tribute to her after her death. As it eventually turned out, this painting would be far more than just a tribute...
Honnete Malen
Honnete Malen
Voiced by: Hana Takeda (Japanese)
The twins' late mother, who passed away from illness prior to the start of the game, and a kind woman who put her family before all else. The twins' promise to make their atelier "the number one in the country" is their major motivation behind doing so.
- Action Girl: She's no alchemist, but she's the one who taught Suelle to shoot guns, and has been wandering the painting worlds protecting herself with them. It's also worth noting that she was a traveler of paintings even when pregnant with twins.
- Art Initiates Life: Traveling with Roger into Mysterious Pantings allowed her spirit to remain in them even after her death. The twins eventually manage to solidify her form and bring her out into the real world as if she'd never died.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Honnete was kind, loving, important to her family, and is basically portrayed as Too Good for This Sinful Earth in flashbacks. Subverted when we finally get to meet her in the painting world. She's definitely no angel, although she is still a kind and loving woman — it's just that Suelle has undoubtedly gotten her petulance from somewhere...
- The Promise: It's the promise with her to make the family atelier the "best in the country" that fuels the twins' motivation to do so. Roger had also made a number of similar ones to her in the past, and his perceived failure to protect them is what caused his Heroic BSoD.
- Shared Family Quirks: While Lydie is marveling at Suelle's questionable naming sense for alchemy items, Roger treats the audience to a flashback where Honnete had also given Roger's creations a number of unusual names, including calling a Craft a "Uni Buster". Cut to Lydie presenting Suelle a Craft, and Suelle immediately naming it a "Uni Buster"...
- Your Days Are Numbered: Even though her spirit is being preserved in the painting, her existence is unstable and she's eventually going to disappear. Achieving the true ending allows the twins to successfully prevent this.
Mireille Ferrier Adalet
Mireille Ferrier Adalet
Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa (Japanese)
Mathias's sister, the princess of the Adalet Kingdom, who works at a receptionist at the castle and gives the twins their exams for their Atelier Ranks.
- Almighty Janitor: She doesn't exactly make a big show of her true position in the country, running it simply like a mere receptionist.
- Drunk Personality Change: Her royal demeanor completely flips upside-down when she gets drunk.
- Gilded Cage: She wasn't allowed outside of the castle as a child, so now that she's an adult she's developed a desire to see what it's like outside.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: A non-romantic version. When Mathias was little he'd naively expressed a desire to marry her, and given that she wanted to make him happy but obviously couldn't do so in that way, she decided that she'd cede the position of Adalet's ruler to him so that he could be a great king who could make the country happy.
- The Man Behind the Man: She agrees to be the real ruler of Adalet while Mathias sits on the throne.
- Not So Above It All: Most of the time she acts like you'd expect a princess to, but once in a while signs of a more vulgar personality break out, especially when she's in private with her brother.
- Pungeon Master: She puts effort into thinking up awful puns, some of which she even admits herself are groaners. Lydie and Sue try not to react if possible, so as to try not to encourage her.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Spends her time at a desk job despite her position as a princess.
- Sheltered Aristocrat: She has remarkably little idea what life outside the castle entails, as her perception of a "homestay" sounds more like a master-servant relationship and she ends up asking the twins to make fancy silverware to make her feel more comfortable as she makes preparations to live outside.
Grace Weissberg
Grace Weissberg
Voiced by: Sayaka Kinoshita (Japanese)
A nun who works at the local church, who is actually in her fifties despite looking like she's in middle age. As the one in charge of holding church gatherings, she seems to have an odd fascination with the "entertainer" aspect of it...
- The Atoner: She's currently upset over something in her past, which she says ended up putting someone into despair. She's referring to the fact she walked out on the Weissberg family without considering how it'd make her husband and daughter feel.
- Deadpan Snarker: She's extremely good at taking thinly veiled potshots at almost everyone she's talking about.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: She's the missing member of the Weissberg family. The game makes this very clear at the beginning by dropping her surname in her introduction, but the halves of the family don't know where the other is until very late in the game...
- Older Than They Look: She's in her mid-fifties despite her youthful looks (to the point Mathias tries to hit on her and gets a nasty surprise when he discovers the truth). She's old enough to be Drossel's mother, in any case.
Painting Characters
Neige Chintreuil
Neige Chintreuil
Voiced by: Chisa Yuuki (Japanese)
A great alchemist who was considered to be the first to create a Mysterious Painting, and appears in her own painting as a small girl. Her general disinterest in the matters of the real world provide difficulty when the twins need to consult her on how to defeat Falgior...
- Growing Up Sucks: After feeling betrayed by everyone around her in life, she decided to seclude herself in her painting and stay in the form of a child forever.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: Her true feelings, which she initially refuses to admit.
- Older Than They Look: She grew fully to adulthood in life, but takes on the form of a child while in the painting.
- Portal Picture: Known as the first alchemist to create a Mysterious Painting, which allows people to enter them. It's her paints that the twins end up using to restore the paintings they find.
- Really 700 Years Old: She's an alchemist from 300 years prior, whose spirit lingered in one of her paintings after her death.
Fuoco
Fuoco
Voiced by: Konomi Kohara (Japanese)
A curious young girl who lives in Great Enfer Falls, who has wings sprouting from her back.
- Artificial Human: She and the others of her kind are native to the painting world, making them homunculi of a sort.
- The Beastmaster: At the end of the game, the party discovers that the Fire Dragon's returned to the village and is rampaging...because he has a thing for Fuoco. Though initially perturbed, she eventually takes on this role with him to help him relieve this stress, which also accordingly changes his monster entry from "Fran Pfeil" to "Fuoco's Fire Dragon".
- Ditto Aliens: Her village is populated entirely by girls who look exactly like her, and have similar names.
Captain Backen
Captain Backen
Voiced by: Kousuke Gotou (Japanese)
A pirate who, despite his Ghost Pirate state, continues to cheerfully go along his business as a pirate.
- Creepy Good: He's reduced to nothing but bone, but he's a very nice person overall.
- Dem Bones: A skeletal pirate.
- Ghost Pirate: More of a skeleton than a ghost, but he's definitely a pirate.
- Large Ham: Between his gruff laugh and his habit of screaming his own name, the guy's probably the hammiest member of the cast.
- Not Quite Dead: Despite his dramatic farewell complete with fading into light, the good captain is actually fine and shows up again when you visit his painting again later.
- #1 Dime: His most precious treasure is his very first flintlock, a gun that has been with him ever since he first became a pirate and that which he carried on with him into death.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He refers to Lydie and Suelle as "Minion C and Minion D", which prompts Lucia to ask whatever happened to Minion A and Minion B. As it turns out, Roger and Honette were the original Minion A and Minion B, having visited his painting before the arrival of Lydie and Suelle.
