Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG/Characters

Luka
The hero of the story. While his general background is the same as the original game, the events of the Paradox setting have completely changed his goals. Rather than striving for coexistence, he sets out in search of his missing father.
 * Badass Family: The son of a famous hero.
 * Blow You Away: When using Sylph's power.
 * Celibate Hero: Can be played as such, if the player never has him make requests of any party member.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: Can't resist helping people in need.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: When using Gnome's power.
 * Establishing Character Moment: Just like the original game, when he hears that a fellow villager is in trouble, he rushes out to save him.
 * Genius Ditz: Downplayed, but he can be relatively naive (justified by his inexperience), while he also has an unexpectedly sharp mind. In one instance, he's demonstrated the ability to calculate very complex sums near-instantaneously, something which he attributes to being a former inn owner. According to Ilias, this is because.
 * Healing Factor: His Meditation power, though it's not as important as in the original game, since there's many other sources of healing.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Though unlike the original game, he can use other weapons.
 * Heroic Lineage
 * The Leader
 * Light'Em Up: Can learn Holy skills from Ilias and.
 * Nephilim:.
 * Playing With Fire: Many of his later Heroism skills use the fire element.
 * Really Gets Around: Can potentially engage in some manner of sex with almost every single female party member, barring (currently) the Medal Queen. Though some of the monsters are guaranteed to kill him.
 * Semi-Divine:.
 * Space Master: For some reason, he can use the doors in the Tartarus that lead between universes.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: Looks just like his father Marcellus.
 * Super Intelligence: Downplayed, but in the Ancient Temple Ruins it's revealed that he is exceptionally good at math. Ilias attributes this to his lineage.
 * Superpower Lottery: By the end of Part 1, he's clearly won this..
 * Supreme Chef
 * The Face: He's generally the one who talks to enemy monsters the most.

Alice
The current Monster Lord, inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. She has lost contact with her former servants, and is now looking for answers.

Her unique trait, "Petite Monster Lord", allows her to always use Black Magic, Dark and Demon Arts skills, and halves the HP cost of all skills.
 * Big Eater: As per the original.
 * Black Magician Girl: She can always use Black Magic.
 * Casting a Shadow: She can always use Dark skills.
 * Cute Monster Girl
 * Eye Beams: Her Demon Eye skills can inflict various status effects.
 * Extreme Omnivore: She eats anything that Luka gives her, even literal rocks.
 * Horned Humanoid
 * Magic Knight: She starts off able to both use a rapier and black magic.
 * Monster Lord
 * Riches to Rags: From the ruler of all monsters to having to ally with a novice hero. She's not even considered in the running for the Monster Lord's position.
 * Royal Rapier: Starts off wielding one, and is certainly royalty.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something
 * Snake Person: She looks like a lamia, but it's only one of her many races.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of ghosts, despite being the Monster Lord.

Ilias
The Goddess who ostensibly created the entire world, also inexplicably changed into a younger, weaker form. Interestingly, she seems unfamiliar with the world, and is confused by half the news she hears. She has lost contact with her angels, and is now looking for answers.

Her unique trait, "Goddess of Creation", allows her to always use White Magic and Holy skills, and the MP cost of the latter is halved.
 * Break The Haughty: All of her experiences, beginning with her being sealed. She's lost almost all her power, can no longer contact her angels, isn't recognized by humans, and is now threatened by even relatively weak monsters. To get anywhere at all, regardless of whether she is in Luka's party or not, she has to work with the very monsters she despises.
 * Fantastic Racism: Still hates all monsters, and if she's in the party, will regularly advise Luka to choose the option that is least beneficial/most harmful to monsters. Amusingly enough, if she isn't recruited, then she has no choice but to swallow her pride and recruit monsters to form her own party.
 * Gold and White Are Divine: Has blonde hair and golden ornaments, and white wings and clothing.
 * Holy Hand Grenade: Has access to skills that do holy damage, which is effective against most monsters.
 * The Hunter: Starts off in the Hunter job.
 * Kleptomaniac Hero: Should you recruit her, she steals the Pocket Monster Lord Castle from Alice for the party to use.
 * Laser-Guided Amnesia: She can't remember any of the circumstances that led to her being shrunk.
 * Light'Em Up
 * Omniscient Morality Licence: Sometimes acts as if she has this, despite no longer having the power to back it up.
 * Physical God: Was one, rather. Immediately after being sealed, she's so weak that her Thunder of Judgement is compared to static electricity by Luka.
 * Shock and Awe: Some of her Holy skills use the lightning element.
 * The Rival: If you don't recruit her, she appears at several points along your journey, with her own party of monsters. Notably, unlike the rivals from Pokemon, her party members are weaker than yours (e.g. a Slime Girl and a Dog Girl), especially in the late game.
 * Time Abyss: As the embodiment of holy energy, she is billions of years old.
 * White Magician Girl: She can always use White Magic.
 * Younger Than She Looks : Whether in her shrunken form or original form, she certainly doesn't look ancient.

Sonya
Luka's childhood friend, a priestess at Ilias Temple with a fondness for clubs. She is unique to Paradox, as in the original game her mother Karen died before she could have any children. Sonya was raised by Lazarus after her parents died, although later on she would be the one taking care of him.

Her unique trait, "Club Girl", allows her to always equip Clubs and use Club skills and White Magic, and increases her damage with a club and the effectiveness of her White Magic.
 * Blood Knight: Played for laughs. She's much more eager to club people than you'd expect of a priestess.
 * Boobs Of Steel: A physical powerhouse, and her outfit certainly emphasises her chest.
 * Can't Catch Up: In the camp prior to Grand Noah, she worries about falling behind the rest of the party due to being a normal human.
 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Despite being a normal human being, she's able to fight on par with monsters and angels.
 * Childhood Friend
 * Eldritch Abomination:.
 * Femme Fatale: In the quest in the Nameless Slums, she mentions employing this trope in order to obtain information. That said, she never actually does so over the course of the game.
 * Friend to All Children: She encourages the Four Bandits to apologise for their crimes to the town, and apologises with them.
 * Form-Fitting Wardrobe
 * Happily Adopted: By Lazarus, though in the present, she's the one taking care of him.
 * Optional Party Member: Technically, Sonya can be missed if the player doesn't visit the Chief's House. This has a number of inexplicable effects, most notably that Alice/Ilias will not reveal the Pocket Monster Lord Castle and so party members cannot be recruited (with some exceptions, such as the King of San Ilia). Even more strangely, the game was written with this in mind, as many of her lines will be said by Luka instead.
 * The Paladin: Albeit one that uses a club.
 * Religious Bruiser
 * Team Mom
 * Sir Swears A Lot: She tends to swear more often than other characters.
 * Temporal Paradox: Possibly, though it's still unclear. Multiple characters note that she shouldn't exist.
 * Tomato in the Mirror:.
 * White Magician Girl: She can always use white magic, but she certainly doesn't fit the other requirements of the trope.

Nuruko
A strange monster found in the first Tartarus. She looks somewhat like a scylla, with even her hair being tentacles. She doesn't speak any words, just the sound effect 'kyu'. After attacking the party in (apparent) confusion, she begins to follow them around.

Her unique trait, "Mysterious Being", gives her normal attacks a chance of causing the Slimed status, increases the damage of Tentacle skills, and makes her immune to attacks that do 30 damage or less.
 * Combat Tentacles: Used for most of her attacks, and they're highlighted in her attack cut-in.
 * Eldrich Abomination: Being an Apoptosis.
 * Gag Boobs: A hallmark of her artist, they take up most of her torso.
 * Meaningful Name: Her name is Japanese for 'slimy child'.
 * Tomato in the Mirror:
 * The Unintelligible: She only says 'kyu'. The only person who can understand her, interestingly, is Sonya. This leads to an amusing scene when she makes friends with Gnome, another example of this trope, as they need interpreters to converse with each other.

Promestein
An angel scientist, encountered in the second Tartarus. She isn't the same Promestein from the original game, but neither is she native to the Paradox universe, having apparently come from a universe where the angels won the Great Monster Wars.

Her unique trait, "Mad Scientist Angel", allows her to always use Medicine and Magic Science skills and increases the damage of the latter.
 * For Science!: Her main motivation.
 * Immortality: Like all angels. She mentions having studied the Remina in Tartarus for 200 years.
 * Mad Scientist: She is a Promestein, after all. In her first appearance, she asks Luka if she can dissect his brain to learn the secrets of his ability to cross dimensions.
 * During one camp scene, she is glad that her companions are looking happy... and asks if she can stick electrodes in their brains to take readings.
 * Magitek: Her Magic Science skills.
 * Meaningful Name: Her name is a portmanteau of Prometheus and Frankenstein.
 * The Medic: She can always use Medicine skills.
 * Omnidisciplinary Scientist: As in the original game. She's introduced studying the temporal anomaly, but she also expresses interest in her companions' brains, asks to sample the plants and insects of alternate worlds, creates a formula that gives Bunni the genes of a beast monster, shows familiarity with the advanced machinery in the Ancient Temple Ruins...
 * Trapped in Another World: From her perspective. It turns out that.
 * Younger Than She Looks: Looks to be in her late teens, but is over 200 years old.

Brynhildr
A gynoid encountered in the Ancient Temple Ruins, the remains of a laboratory. Initially known as the Sleeping Beauty for her dormancy, she suddenly woke up when Luka touched her capsule. After fighting the party in a misunderstanding, she joins them in order to fulfil her mission of saving the world.

Her unique trait, "Machine Commander", allows her to always use Makina, Gun, Holy and Dark skills, increases the damage of Makina and Gun skills by 30%, and allows her to use some Makina skils without the prerequisite key items.
 * Dual Wielding: She has two curved blades attached to her arms.
 * Eldritch Abomination: One of her races is Minor Chaos.
 * Emotionless Girl: She gives this impression initially, but seems to develop emotions over time. Promestein notes that she has unnecessarily advanced emotional capability.
 * Gatling Good: One of her weapons.
 * Redemption Demotion: Initially fought as a boss. As a party member, she's useful but obviously not nearly as powerful.
 * Ridiculously Human Robot: She has, according to Promestein, advanced emotions and a functional reproductive system, neither of which would be desirable in a combat machine.
 * Robot Girl
 * Schizo-Tech: She seems to have come from 88 years in the future.
 * Sex Bot: She has the relevant hardware and can take requests.
 * Unusual Ears: She has what appear to be rabbit ears.
 * Yin-Yang Bomb: According to Promestein, she is powered by a holy and dark fusion reactor.

Lucifina-chan
A younger recreation of Lucifina. She is created while on the Snow Continent to increase the party's strength, but because Eden is low on power at the time, she has a weaker child-like form.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: She can only be recruited (and isn't even created otherwise) on the Ilias route.
 * Parental Incest: Like any other female companion. It's even more disturbing because, although she lacks the original Lucifina's memories, she has been told of her relation to Luka, yet she rapes him anyway.

Micaela-chan
A younger recreation of Micaela. She is created while on the Snow Continent to increase the party's strength, but because Eden is low on power at the time, she has a weaker child-like form.
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: She can only be recruited (and isn't even created otherwise) on the Ilias route.
 * Parental Incest: Like any other female companion. It's even more disturbing because, although she lacks the original Micaela's memories, she has been told of her relation to Luka, yet she rapes him anyway.

Heinrich Hein
The legendary hero renowned for slaying Black Alice and ending her reign of terror. He's encountered 500 years in the past, with a suspicious "human" mage. He is recruited on the Ilias route.
 * Generation Xerox: He looks like a more muscular version of Luka, has the same skillset, and also traveled around the world accompanied by the Monster Lord he set out to defeat.
 * Hidden Depths: If you have him in your party and visit the Monster Lord's throne room in the world of 500 years ago, Black Alice won't appear - instead, her teddy bear sits on the throne in her place. Talking to the bear will have Heinrich jokingly ask if it's Alicetroemeria. The implications are... interesting, to say the least.
 * Idiot Ball: Apparently, Luka inherited a weaker version from him. Heinrich is somehow unable to realize that Alicetroemeria is actually his bitter enemy, despite her barely trying to conceal her appearance and personality. Though there seems to be more to the story...
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: He can only be recruited on the Ilias route.

Alicetroemeria
A strange "human" mage found 500 years in the past, accompanying Heinrich on his journey. She is in fact the Black Alice of 500 years ago, though her true goals are unclear.


 * Affably Evil: If encountered in the past Monster Lord's Castle, she's genuinely friendly to the party, allowing them to leave without a fight.
 * Bonus Boss: If you make it to the Monster Lord's throne room (and Heinrich is not in the party), she'll be sitting on the throne and can be challenged to a fight.
 * Sequential Boss: She has three stages: her normal form, then her first and second transformations from the original game.
 * Devil in Disguise: Though it's an extremely poor disguise.
 * Generation Xerox: She accompanied Heinrich on his journey while disguised as a human, just as Alice did with Luka.
 * Hidden Depths: It's implied that she's aware of the true history, including the fact that Heinrich has to kill her in order to follow it.
 * Interface Spoiler: If her appearance wasn't enough proof, her list of races in the menu shows that she has access to seven, one more than Alice does. Only Monster Lords have that many races.
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: She can only be recruited on the Alice route.
 * Paper Thin Disguise: Long blonde hair, always carries around a teddy bear, constantly-unhinged expression... there's no way she could be anything other than an ordinary human mage.
 * Token Evil Teammate: She's Black Alice, after all.

Lazarus
A grumpy man who lives in Ilias Village. He used to be a member of Marcellus' party, but eventually had to retire due to his crippled arm. He raised Sonya after her mother died, though she eventually ended up taking care of him.
 * Alcoholic Parent: Parent by adoption, but still qualifies.
 * The Don:
 * Guest Star Party Member: Joins the party during
 * Guns Akimbo: His cut-in depicts him firing two handguns at once.
 * The Gunslinger: He now uses guns, as they don't need as much strength as swords.
 * Handicapped Badass: Due to overuse of his arm, he can no longer swing a sword with it. However, he notes that he can still use a gun, and

Queen Harpy
The ruler of the Harpy race. Shortly before the events of the game, she and the rest of her race mysteriously disappeared. It turns out that.
 * Blow You Away
 * Heroic Willpower: She tries to avoid attacking the party when they reach her, but eventually loses out to the effects of, forcing you to fight her.
 * Ill Girl:.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: She refused to allow.

Sluggy Stars
Three slug queens, who inhabit a tower near Midas Village. Their efforts to repopulate their race lead to an overabundance of slug girls in Midas Village, forcing Luka's party to deal with them.

Their unique trait, "Triple Slime", causes their normal attack to hit three times and have a chance of inflicting the Slimed status, causes Slime skills to hit twice, and makes them immune to Slimed.
 * The Dividual: They're treated as one character, to the point that they share a HP bar (and MP and SP bars), though they can act multiple times. This raises questions about the Arbitrary Headcount Limit, especially since they still appear as multiple characters on-screen.
 * Explosive Breeder
 * Level Up At Intimacy 5: To recruit them, Luka has to show that he has the respect of the Slug race. This requires getting a slug race companion's Affection to 100 to obtain the Slug Medal, and then giving it to the Sluggy Stars.

Nanabi
A high-ranking kitsune, one of Tamamo's two aides. At her orders, she guards the entrance to the final room in the Cave of Treasures. .

Her unique trait, "Moonlight Kitsune", increases the damage of Taoism and Beast skills by 30%, and causes her to regenerate 8% of her maximum MP each turn for 10 turns if she falls below 50% HP.
 * The Archmage: Through her Taoism skills, she can attack with eight different elements, as well as inflict status elements and even lower enemies' elemental resistances.
 * Bonus Boss: You can challenge her again after the quest in the Cave of Treasures is complete. She's the weakest of the bonus bosses, but is still tough if you don't know what you're doing.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Her specialty as a kitsune.
 * Hopeless Boss Fight: If you've been progressing through the game normally, she can potentially wipe out the entire party in a single turn.
 * My God, What Have I Done?: After realising.
 * Our Centaurs Are Different: Unlike most other kitsunes, she has the lower body of a fox.
 * Playing With Fire: If challenged again, she will now have access to a fire-elemental attack.
 * Purposefully Overpowered: She is the only bonus boss in Part 1 that can be recruited. She enters the party at level 30, with access to powerful Taoism skills. These skills are very useful, being capable of lowering enemies' resistance to particular elements, and are only available to a few characters in Part 1.
 * Shock and Awe: If challenged again, she will now have access to a lightning-elemental attack.
 * The Worf Effect:.
 * Unwitting Pawn: To.

Meia
A mermaid living in Port Natalia. She is the first of the mermaids to go missing. .

Her unique trait, "Versatile Mermaid", increases the damage of White Magic, Ocean and Singing skills by 15%.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy:
 * Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Despite being Happily Married, she is willing to have sex with Luka like most other female party members.
 * Making A Splash
 * My God, What Have I Done?:.
 * Redemption Demotion: Like all bosses who can be recruited, but it's especially noticeable with her. As a boss, she was capable of.
 * Sex Slave:.
 * Shotacon: Her main fetish. She uses her magic to keep her husband in the body of a boy,.
 * Squishy Wizard: Both as a boss and as a party member.

King of San Ilia
The king of San Ilia, and the leader of the faith in Ilias, effectively making him the Pope of the setting. His real name is Peter the 14th. The party meets with him to try to gather more information.

His unique trait, "Mecha Pope", allows him to always equip Guns and use Gun, Holy and Makina skills, and lets him use certain Makina skills without the required key items.
 * Actually a Doombot:.
 * Cyborg
 * Deadpan Snarker: Donwplayed, but it's there. When Sonya says that she'll beat up the person responsible for harming the King, he comments that she should be beating up her foster parent Lazarus.
 * Emergency Transformation:.
 * The Engineer: Skilled with technology, he encouraged the technological renaissance and can use many kinds of machines in combat.
 * Hidden Depths: He might seem like a harmless old man, but don't be fooled - he is a competent and shrewd leader. He has a network for gathering information all over the world, which has allowed him to single out as a key suspect in the bombing attack. He has a spy in Luddite Village, disguised as a priest. He even comes up with a better way to assassinate someone than the terrorists who attacked him, to the shock of Sonya.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: Not only is he a political and religious leader, but he's also a skilled engineer who had a hand in the reworking of the church into a technological faction, and joins the party to help uncover the truth behind the recent events.

Chrome
A diminutive succubus necromancer who has taken over the Haunted Mansion. Her full name is Chrome Artiste, and she is aiming to restore her family's honor.

Her unique trait, "I'm a Genius!", lets her always use Summoning, Makina and Medicine skills, and increases the damage of Summoning skills by 30%.
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: After beating her, she promises to never practice necromancy again, instead limiting herself to puppetry (which doesn't require interfering with the dead). However, as a companion she's still capable of using skills relating to zombies or ghosts. In fact, due to her trait, most players who include her in the party will have her use these skills.
 * Genius Ditz: She leaves a description of one of the secret passages in her mansion out in the open, for anyone to see. Fortunately, it's in code... unfortunately, said 'code' is just replacing the first letter of each word with 'z'.
 * Horny Devils: She's technically a succubus, but focuses on her necromancy to such an extent that she's still an imp.
 * Necromancer: Her profession, although she's not entirely competent. When she orders zombies to throw the party out of a particular room, the zombies throw her out of the room instead.

Sylph
The Great Spirit of wind, residing in the Forest of Spirits. She resembles a fairy, and shared their playful and carefree nature. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.

Her unique trait, "Wind Spirit", increases wind damage by 30%, allows her to always use Nature and Thievery skills, and gives her the Extreme Wind buff when below 20% HP.
 * Blow You Away: Her specialty as the spirit of wind.
 * Bond Creature: She can possess the body of a man she deems worthy, allowing him to use the power of the wind. In gameplay terms, she acts as a buff unique to Luka, that enhances his agility, accuracy and evasion, makes his normal attack wind-elemental and boosts his wind damage. At the same time, she can act as a regular party member.
 * Duel Boss: Subverted and lampshaded. You'd think, since the purpose of the fight is to test Luka's worthiness, that he would fight her alone. Instead, you can use the entire party, like any other battle. Sylph even complains about this after losing.
 * Elemental Embodiment
 * Fragile Speedster
 * Won't Work On Me: Has complete immunity to wind damage.

Eva
A vagrant succubus who has recently been terrorising the town of Monte Carlo. This led to the costumed hero Justice Kaiser stepping in to drive her away. Luka's party finds and defeats her, stopping her attacks. To prevent this happening again, Luka decides to bring Eva along.

Her unique trait, "Dextrous Poor Succubus", gives her an optional ability that allows her to always use Thievery, Mercantile, Oracle, Dancing, Sing, Talk, Cooking, Medicine and Service skills, at the expense of occasionally using an Oracle skill instead of following orders.
 * Butt Monkey
 * Chef of Iron: Can always use Cooking skills, and enters the party with levels in the Cook job.
 * Dance Battler: Can always use Dancing skills.
 * Horny Devils
 * Jack of All Trades: Her unique trait lets her use an incredible variety of skills, regardless of her current job or race. This is counterbalanced by her not always following orders.
 * Spoony Bard: Can potentially be the most versatile party member, in terms of diversity of skills, but this comes at the expense of reliability.
 * The Medic: Can always use Medicine skills, and enters the party with levels in the Nurse job.

Sara
Formerly the princess of Sabasa, the mysterious disappearance of her father forced Sara to assume the throne. However, her rule caused a sharp decline in the nation's fortunes. Some of her citizens began to speculate that the person on the throne wasn't the princess at all, but an imposter. It turns out that she was the real Sara after all, but the Lilith Sisters had awakened the latent monster blood in her, partially transforming her into a succubus. Unable to control her newfound urges, she was unable to rule Sabasa properly. Luka's party learns of this, and with Sphinx's help, manage to restore her sanity (albeit by completing her succubus transformation).

Sara has two different unique traits, depending on her current form. In human form, her trait is "Tomboy Princess", which lets her always equip swords and knight swords and use Ruling and Sword skills, and increases the effects of these skills by 30%. In succubus form, her trait is "Fallen Queen", which lets her always use Ruling and Sexcraft skills, increases the effects of these skills and increases all pleasure damage she inflicts.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy: Because she was only partially transformed into a succubus, she couldn't fully control the urges of her new body. This was deliberate on the part of the Lilith Sisters, who (for reasons still unclear) wanted an out-of-control ruler in charge.
 * Brainwash Residue: If you visit Sphinx with Sara in the party, the latter explains that she can still feel the influence of the Lilith Sisters when in her succubus form. Consequently, she can't use any succubus abilities until later in the game.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Or rather, a mostly-human hybrid. She is the distant descendant of the legendary monster Sphinx.
 * Horny Devils: The Lilith Sisters cause her to partially transform into one, and the transformation is completed when Luka's party force her to drink Sphinx's blood. However, as explained under Brainwash Residue, she's restricted to the Human race to avoid the influence of the Lilith Sisters. She gains the ability to switch races to Succubus during the vampire invasion in Part 2.
 * One-Man Army: When she re-awakens her succubus form during
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: Right after she return her to (mostly) normal, a soldier bursts in with news of Luddite Village being attacked. She immediately changes from her gown into her armor and accompanies the party to investigate. Afterwards, she decides to accompany Luka's party, to solve the problems plaguing the world (though she abdicates her throne at this point, so isn't actually royal any longer).

Saki
A succubus idol singer, aiming to make it big. She takes over the Grandeur Theater by charming everyone with her songs and becomes its sole act. All other activity in Grandeur is disrupted as the people become obsessed with the new sensation. Luka's party puts an end to this, and she decides to travel with them on a world tour.

Her unique trait, "Everyone's Idol", lets her always use Dancing and Singing skills, causes these skills to inflict status effects 15% more often, and reduces the chances of Saki being targeted by enemies by 25%.
 * Charm Person: Exaggerated. She manages to charm the entire population of Grandeur, to the point that random city guards will start using "sparkle" in everyday conversation. In gameplay terms, she can inflict both the Trance and Seduction status effects, and on top of that has a skill that inflicts the unique SPARKLE effect (a variant of Stun).
 * Dance Battler: She has various dances that inflict a range of debuffs, and affect all opponents.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: Her left stocking is red while the right stocking is black; similarly, her left horn has a decoration while her right horn does not.
 * Horny Devils
 * Say It With Hearts: Many of her lines.
 * Status Buff: As a boss, she can make herself tougher with Song of Defence, and she can use even more songs as a party member.

Merlin
A wizard and a former member of Marcellus' party. Now, he's become the leader of the Mafia.
 * Meaningful Name: The inspiration should be obvious.
 * Necessarily Evil: He argues that the Mafia is a benefit to the world, as it keeps crime organized, and that the Sabasa King understood this and let the Mafia be.
 * Guest Star Party Member: Joins the party during

Lily
Formerly the daughter of the Lord of Witch Hunt Village. Like the other women in the village, she used to be heavily abused by the men. She learned the secrets of alchemy from books, and used them to transform herself and the other women into monstrous Worm Summoners. With their newfound power, Lily led a successful rebellion against the men of the village. Now, she wants to spread her power to others in the world who are being abused. She can be recruited, but this requires you to take her side and defeat her opponent, Lucia.

Her unique trait, "Mad Mage", increases the damage of Summoning, Magic Science and Tentacle skills by 15%.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: She claims to be able to hear the voices of people in need, crying out for help. While it seems to be hallucinations at first, if you recruit her and take her to.
 * Body Horror: Both her arms can transform into bundles of worms and tentacles.
 * Dark And Troubled Past
 * Fire, Ice, Lightning: The Super-Heating Radiation, Phase Transition and Vacuum Discharge skills, which she uses both as a boss and as a companion.
 * Gendercide: She carried out a near-total example on the former Witch Hunt Village, killing off every male aside from boys and a few elderly men who'd opposed the regime.
 * Mad Scientist
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: She cannot be recruited in the same playthrough as Lucia, as she will only join the party after you defeat Lucia. However, you can have them both in a New Game Plus.
 * One-Winged Angel: She reveals her worm organs when in battle.
 * Shout-Out: Her appearance is obviously based on Rydia from Final Fantasy 4.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: She wants to spread the power of worms to other women who are in the same situation that she was. However, she will attempt to carry this out no matter the cost, and refuses to be dissuaded from her cause.

Lucia
Lily's former research assistant. She helped Lily in her rebellion against the men of the village, but when the latter wanted to spread the worm power to others, Lucia disagreed. She felt that distributing the power more widely would only lead to its possessors becoming the future oppressors, using it to dominate others. Consequently, she broke away and formed her own faction, in opposition to Lily. She can be recruited, but this requires you to take her side and defeat Lily.
 * Alchemy Is Magic
 * Body Horror: To an even greater extent than Lily. Not only are both her arms worms, but her face is also partially transformed and she is connected to an enormous worm that can swallow a person whole.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Interestingly, if you bring her to the Safaru Ruins, she analyses the energy there and gains the Breath of the Earth skill.
 * Eaten Alive: Her Boa Worm skill inflicts this. She also does this to Luka in her loss scene and two of her Request scenes
 * Fire, Ice, Lightning: She can create and use Red Fire Stones, Blue Ice Stones and Yellow Thunder Stones, and is also resistant to these three elements.
 * Full-Circle Revolution: The main crux of her argument against Lily.
 * Hired Guns: Her faction includes monster mercenaries.
 * Mutually Exclusive Party Members: She cannot be recruited in the same playthrough as Lily, as she will only join the party after you defeat Lily. However, you can have them both in a New Game Plus.
 * One-Winged Angel
 * Stripperiffic: To an absurd extent. Her outfit consists of a cloth wrapped around her breasts (baring most of her cleavage) and a partial skirt that completely exposes her crotch. When she goes One-Winged Angel, the former slips down to expose her nipples.

Gnome
The Great Spirit of Earth, resembling a dark-skinned girl with pointed ears. She lives in the Safaru Ruins with only her mud dolls for company. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.

Her unique trait, "Earth Spirit", increases earth damage by 30%, allows her to always use Club, Unarmed and Nature skills, causes Unarmed skills to use the Attack instead of the Agility stat, and gives her the Wild Lands buff when below 20% HP.
 * Bond Creature: She can possess the body of a man she deems worthy, allowing him to use the power of the earth. In gameplay terms, she acts as a buff unique to Luka, that enhances his defence and critical hit rate, makes his normal attack earth-elemental and boosts his earth damage. At the same time, she can act as a regular party member.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: Her specialty as the spirit of earth.
 * Elemental Embodiment
 * Mayfly-December Romance: A non-romantic example. In her past, she became friends with a human girl who visited her ruins.
