Fatal Frame

Miku Hinasaki

The protagonist of the first Fatal Frame who goes into the Himuro Mansion in order to look for her brother, Mafuyu. She finds the Camera Obscura where her brother left it, and then she must collect five pieces of a holy mirror in order to stop the ghost of Kirie gone berserker.

She returns in Fatal Frame III, again as a playable character and still lamenting the death of her brother, Mafuyu. Such guilt haunts her dreams, and so she finds herself trapped in the Manor of Sleep, where she can't help but to follow the ghost of her loved one.

• Bare Your Midriff: On FF3
• The Magic Goes Away: It was meant to happen at the end of the first game, but it didn't.
• Memento MacGuffin: She wears her grandmother's hair comb.
• Plucky Girl
• She's All Grown Up: Played With. Only two years have passed since the events of FF1, but on FF3 she's noticeably more Fanservicey.
• Zettai Ryouiki: On FF3 she wears a Grade B.

Mafuyu Hinasaki

Miku's older brother and only family, and the first character you'll control. He goes to the Himuro Mansion after the disappearance of his teacher, equipped with the Camera Obscura.

• Big Brother Instinct
• Heroic Spirit: He went to the Himuro Mansion not for a loved one, but just to rescue, or find out what happened to, his professor and his team.
• Nice Guy
• Promotion to Parent

Kirie Himuro

A maiden who lived at the Himuro Mansion and was finally sacrificed at the Strangling Ritual. However, the sacrificial failed, and so the Malice got unleashed.

Break the Cutie: her backstory combines this and Kill the Cutie.

• Miko: She's the Rope Shrine Maiden
• Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl
• Virgin Sacrifice
• Woman in White

Fatal Frame II

Mio Amakura

The protagonist of Fatal Frame II and Mayu's younger twin. She has a weaker sixth sense, so she isn't as perceptive about the ghosts as Mayu, but this also makes her more resistant to their influence. Mio is very protective about her sister, feeling responsible for her leg wound years ago, and so she looks after her every single day.

Mio comes back in Fatal Frame III, but not as a playable character. Still lamenting Mayu's death, she gets inflicted by the curse of the Sleep Manor, and Kei, investigating the curse, tries to rescue her.

• Cutscene Power to the Max: Her speed in the trailers.
• Handicapped Badass: In the good ending, she may have lost her sight, but she has proven that nothing will take her sister away from her.
• The Heroine: She gets to be this in the good endings of Fatal Frame II, specially in the best one.
• Heroic BSOD: Upon realizing she just killed her own sister.
• Mama Bear/Sister bear: Goes well under the judging of the All Gods Village, she's the older twin.
• My Sister Is Off-Limits: Subverted, but a specially rare case of a girl having this attitude.
• Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Possibly, during the worst ending of III.
• The Caretaker
• Think Nothing of It: Her attitude towards Mayu, which seems to extent even after she loses her sight for her.
• Akemi Kanda

Mayu Amakura

Mio's older, calm, reserved and considerate twin. She's got a very strong sixth sense, which makes her vulnerable to the influence of ghost. This leads to get being possessed by Sae, causing quite a troublesome situation as the person Mio has to rescue is at the same time the person who could mean her immediate death.

• Ayako Kawasumi
• Kill the Cutie: In the canonical ending.
• The Load
• Please Don't Leave Me
• Protectorate
• Video Game Caring Potential
• Manipulative Bitch: In the Japanese Fanbook, it is revealed that when they were children, Mayu fell down the cliff on purpose so Mio wouldn't leave her behind, and has been using her injury to control Mio ever since. During the final battle against Sae, Mayu can be heard saying "Mio always thinks about me... and she will do whatever I say."
• Yandere: Regarding Mio.
• You Are Worth Hell: For Mio, she clearly was.

Itsuki Tachibana

A white-haired young boy that is mysteriously imprisoned. Mio encounters him while exploring the lost village, and he'll assist Mio in his attempt to rescue Mayu, although most of what he says will cause confusion to the player.

• Angsty Surviving Twin: His failure to properly perform the ritual meant that his brother, Mutsuki, died for nothing. He killed himself after trying to make up for it.
• Dead All Along
• Driven to Suicide: He hung himself
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: He's not the hero of the story, but still...
• Locked Into Strangeness
• Mr. Exposition: Guess who you're gonna go for every time you need answers.
• Selective Obliviousness: He won't cease referring to Mio as "Yae" and Mayu as "Sae".
• Soichiro Hoshi

Sae Kurosawa

A twin shrine maiden who particularly had been always anxious about participating in the sacrificial ritual so she would become one with her twin sister, Yae. When Itsuki wanted to help Sae and Yae to escape the ritual, though, she apparently intentionally fell behind, hoping that Yae would return for her so they would fulfill the ritual. But Yae never came back, and so she was sentenced to do the ritual alone, which didn't go well.

• Ax Crazy
• Laughing Mad: And that's an Evil Laugh that will give you nightmares.
• Together in Death: With her twin, Yae, in the best ending.
• White Kimono of Death

Fatal Frame III

Rei Kurosawa

A professional photographer and protagonist of Fatal Frame III. She lived together with Miku and her boyfriend, Yuu, until he died in a car accident caused by her. Because of this, she gets dragged into the Manor of Sleep, following his ghost.

• Informed Attribute: Rei claims she's the opposite of Yuu who was quiet and gentle, but this doesn't really show. Then again, she is severely depressed.
• It's All My Fault: It is. It was her irresponsible driving what got her boyfriend killed, after all.
• Shower of Angst
• Survivor Guilt: More than anyone.
• Junko Minagawa

Kei Amakura

Mio's uncle, a non-fiction writer. He was also good friends with Yuu, and writes letter to him during the game which Rei receives. These help her unravel the mystery of the Manor of Sleep.

• Can't Catch Up: In a somewhat different way than most examples. Being the only playable man in Fatal Frame III, he's stronger than the girls and so he can move heavy objects they can't. But his sixth sense is said to be weaker than theirs, which results in his attacks being overall inferior, and that's when he has a camera to begin with.
• Parental Substitute: He's apparently this for Mio and Mayu.
• Hope Spot: He delivers this for Rei near the end.

Reika

The tattooed priestess, and possibly the biggest Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds in the series. Like Kirie, she was a Virgin Sacrifice for a ritual that, because of having fallen in love with someone, ended up failing, thus unleashing the darkness from a Hell Gate.

• Cold-Blooded Torture: She lived enduring this until the day of her death.
• Fate Worse Than Death
• Miko: She's the Tattooed Priestess
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge
