Main Characters

Ellen

  • The Beast Master: Fully manifests her folk when she summons them, having them fight on her behalf.
  • Dimensional Traveler: Between the human world and the Netherworlds.
  • Parental Abandonment: Grew up in an orphanage after leaving Doolin as a young child, the circumstances of which are pivotal to the plot.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Keats finds at one point in the game a portrait of a woman he believes to be Ellen. It's actually Ingrid, the portrait painted by her husband and Ellen's father.

Keats

  • Dimensional Traveler: Between the human world and the Netherworlds.
  • Fighting Spirit: Tends to only partly manifest his folk as extensions of his own body while he fights.
  • Guardian Entity: The Cloak of Sidhe transforms him to be Ellen's Guardian.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: The big reveal. Keats is a halflive, created from the last wish of Ellen's childhood friend, and thus a remnant of him. Halflives operate quite differently to the standard ghost, with elements of The Fair Folk.


Suzette

  • Abusive Parents: Herve and her husband Renaldo's death unhinged Regine so much, she either abused her daughter or thought in her insanity she was Herve.
  • Parental Abandonment: Suzette's father died before her birth, and her mother has abandoned her prior to the game's events to follow an unhinged plan to kill Ellen in revenge for Herve's death.
