Ib/Characters

While kouri's Ib doesn't have many characters, the few that there are manage to become rather fleshed out in a very short space of time, especially for a horror game. They are listed below with their associated tropes.

Ib (Eve)
The titular character and protagonist of the game, Ib is a simply a young girl that visits the art gallery with her parents. When everything gets worse, Ib must solve puzzles and dodge evil paintings to somehow find a way back home.
 * Adorably Precocious Child: She's only nine and she can figure out puzzles that many adults would have trouble with.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Daddys Girl: Some dialogue options reveal her to be this.
 * Heroic Mime: Ib has no dialogue lines of her own; the player only learns what she says to other characters from their responses.
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: Averted. She might look like a Creepy Child at first glance from the title screen, but she's far from it. She inherited it from her mother
 * Silent Protagonist
 * The Stoic: Doesn't say much or express much, especially for a little kid.

Mary
Another young girl right around Ib's age that she and Garry meet in the gallery. She readily agrees to their invitation to stay with them and find a way out.
 * Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: Kinda doesn't listen to Garry's warning about the importance of their roses at all because she becomes distracted by their prettiness and then rambles about her favorite colors.
 * Cheerful Child: Seems like a bit of a Foil to Ib's seriousness.
 * Cuteness Equals Forgiveness:.
 * Disappeared Dad: She comments on how she doesn't even have a dad, and so would like to meet Ib's parents.
