This page lists the characters of ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]''. Due to the nature of this page, '''many spoilers will be unmarked'''.
 
=='''Main Characters'''==
Line 9 ⟶ 11:
* [[Badass Family]]: The son of a famous hero {{spoiler|and the distant descendant of an even more famous one. His mother, meanwhile, was Lucifina, the first fallen angel}}.
* [[Blow You Away]]: When using Sylph's power.
* [[Blue Blood]]: He's descended, very distantly, {{spoiler|from the Reminan royal family.}}
* [[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.
Line 172 ⟶ 175:
 
=== 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 iscan only be recruited on the Ilias route.
* [[Dream Sequence]]: He's led by Ilias into thinking that all of his experiences in the party are a dream that she's using to train him.
* [[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.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: He has no idea about the Reminan princess' feelings for him, despite her offering a royal heirloom to him as a gift. When the king starts talking about marriage, Heinrich tells him that the princess should be allowed to marry someone she genuinely loves.
* [[Religious Bruiser]]: He's a faithful follower of Ilias, albeit with a desire for human-monster coexistence. Once Ilias convinces him that she's the real thing, she easily recruits him into the party.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Alicetroemeria ===
[[File:Character Image.jpg|200px|right]]
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. She can only be recruited on the Alice route.
 
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
Her unique trait, "Pretend Mage", boosts her Dark damage by 30%, allows her to always use Black Magic, Time Magic and Dark skills, and causes Black Magic and Time Magic to trigger twice with 150% MP cost.
* [[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.
* [[Drama-Preserving Handicap]]: She refuses to use any more power than a human mage could possess, in order to maintain her roleplaying. This leads to a case of [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]], as she has seven different monster races and an extremely powerful trait.
* [[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... [[Sarcasm Mode|there's no way she could be anything other than an ordinary human mage]].
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: When the party learns that the Blue Orb has been destroyed, Alicetroemeria suggests going back 500 years and stealing the still-intact Blue Orb from the Monster Lord's Castle - that is, her own home. She also advises the others to avoid trying to fight Black Alice.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: She's Black Alice, after all.
 
Line 252 ⟶ 263:
=== Meia ===
[[File:Character Image.jpg|200px|right]]
A mermaid living in Port Natalia. She is the first of the mermaids to go missing. {{spoiler|It turns out that she was in fact brainwashed by Astaroth into taking the throne of the Queen of the Southern Seas, and was the one who kidnapped the fishermen and other mermaids}}.
 
Her unique trait, "Versatile Mermaid", increases the damage of White Magic, Ocean and Singing skills by 15%.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|She's brainwashed by Astaroth into thinking that she's the Queen of the Southern Seas.}}
* [[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?]]: {{spoiler|After being freed from her brainwashing, she is horrified at her actions, and joins the party in an attempt to make up for her actions}}.
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: Like all bosses who can be recruited, but it's especially noticeable with her. As a boss, she was capable of {{spoiler|overpowering many other mermaids and even changing the apparent ages of the fishermen}}.
* [[Sex Slave]]: {{spoiler|Not her, but it's implied that she used the kidnapped fishermen as these}}.
* [[Shotacon]]: Her main fetish. She uses her magic to keep her husband in the body of a boy, {{spoiler|and does the same to the kidnapped fishermen}}.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Both as a boss and as a party member.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Kraken ===
A powerful scylla who is the Queen of the South Sea. However, she is attacked by Astaroth and has her power stolen, turning her into a small dried squid. The party rescues her after defeating Meia, and then has to try and find a way of restoring her to her true form.
* [[Alien Hair]]: Her hair consists of tentacles and fins, as if a squid were sitting on top of her head.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: In her dried squid form, she can't move and can only talk. She's nearly eaten on several occasions.
 
=== King of San Ilia ===
Line 317 ⟶ 333:
* [[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.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Laura ===
The Queen of mermaids. In the past, before coexistence between humans and monsters, she saved a man named Alan from a mortal injury using the healing power of her blood. The two of them fell in love, but were discovered. Laura was sentenced to be executed while Alan committed suicide. When she heard of this, Laura fled back to the sea, now with a deep grudge against humans. She leads the invasion of San Ilia during Alice XV's war on humanity.
* [[Dark And Troubled Past]]
* [[Knight Templar]]: Unlike some of the other invaders, she doesn't need any brainwashing magic to be convinced to attack humans.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== El ===
Laura's daughter and the future Queen Mermaid. She was conceived using semen from Alan that Laura kept stored in her body, even after Alan's death.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Despite her young age, she's chosen to lead the mermaid invasion of San Ilia.
 
{{hardline}}
Line 405 ⟶ 434:
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Queen Vampire ===
The ruler of the vampire race. She orders the invasion of Sabasa during Alice XV's war on humanity.
* [[Might Makes Right]]: A firm believer in this. It is why she follows the Monster Lord and wishes to subjugate the weaker humans, but also why she surrenders to the party after they prove strong enough to defeat her.
* [[Pet The Dog]]: It's mentioned that she's considerate towards those who follow her and protects them from danger. This is especially apparent in her interactions with the younger vampire Vanilla.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Carmilla ===
One of the direct subordinates of the Queen Vampire. She is one of the leaders of the vampire invasion of Sabasa.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: She has the same name as a female vampire in the novel of the same name, though she doesn't appear to be a lesbian like her namesake.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: She's fought twice, during the invasion of Sabasa and inside the vampire castle.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Elizabeth ===
One of the direct subordinates of the Queen Vampire. She is one of the leaders of the vampire invasion of Sabasa.

=='''Noah Region'''==
Line 464 ⟶ 512:
=== Undine ===
The Great Spirit of Water, resembling a slime with the shape of a mermaid. She lives in a cavern at the bottom of Undine's Spring. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.
 
Her unique trait, "Water Spirit", boosts water damage by 30%, lets her always use Slime and Nature skills and boosts their damage by 30%, and makes her immune to water damage and the Slimed status.
* [[Making A Splash]]
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: She and Salamander literally get along like water and fire.
{{hardline}}
 
=== Queen Fairy ===
The Queen of fairies. She leads the invasion of Grand Noah during Alice XV's war on humanity.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Queen Elf ===
The Queen of elves, whose real name is Freya. She, along with Queen Fairy, orders the invasion of Grand Noah. {{spoiler|However, she is actually brainwashed into doing so by Azi Dahaka.}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|A powerful magic used by Azi Dahaka to brainwash Queen Alraune inadvertently affects her as well, amplifying her existing hatred towards humans.}}
* [[Fangirl]]: She is extremely interested in the Coliseum, but steadfastly refuses to admit it.
* [[Not Helping Your Case]]: Despite her denials, she repeatedly gives away her interest in the Coliseum. Her condition for joining the party is for them to win two trophies from the Coliseum, she explains in detail how to obtain these trophies, and she also recounts the history of the Coliseum when prompted.
* [[Telepathy]]: She is capable of this (as shown when she contacts Elf Princess), using it to have conversations and even send images.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Queen Alraune ===
The Queen of plant monsters, noted for her peaceful nature. {{spoiler|However, she is brainwashed by Azi Dahaka.}}
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|She tricks Alra Priestess into becoming the new Queen Alraune by exploiting her reluctance. She claims that the creation of a Queen requires a ceremony involving a special sapling. When you obtain the sapling, Alra Priestess destroys it to avoid becoming Queen... except that this releases the energy inside, transforming her into the new Queen Alraune. Morever, Queen Alraune states that this same trick has been used by every generation, and that she herself fell victim to it.}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Azi Dahaka uses powerful magic to alter her mind. This causes her to order the Queen Elf killed after she loses to Luka's party.}}
* [[Idol Singer]]: She wanted to be one in her youth.
* [[Not So Above It All]]: In contrast to her usual dignity, she laughs creepily when {{spoiler|she has succeeded in tricking Alra Priestess into becoming the new Queen Alraune. Her laugh is remarkably similar to Alra Priestess', to drive home the point. On top of that, she rejoices at no longer having to handle so many responsibilities, the exact reason why Alra Priestess didn't want the position in the first place.}}
* [[Purple Is Powerful]]
 
{{hardline}}
 
Line 472 ⟶ 547:
=== Grangold King ===
The king of the Grangold kingdom. For unknown reasons, he has declared war on the other three kingdoms of the Sentora Continent, a war that he is winning. Moreover, he leads his army from the front, demonstrating power far beyond any human. {{spoiler|However, he is ultimately no more than a pawn of Tamamo no Mae and the Lilith Sisters.}}
* [[The Blank]]: {{spoiler|After fully transforming, his head lacks a face of any kind, raising questions about how he senses his environment, breathes, or eats.}}
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In his first appearance, he takes a lance through the chest without flinching, then annihilates several knights with a barrage of magic.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to his protohuman blood being awakened, he has incredible magical power and resistance to injury. When he draws on his full power to fight Lazarus and Merlin, he permanently transforms into a definite example of this trope. His head is yellow and lacks a face, while his arms are purple and the fingers of his hands are lengthened into tentacles.}}
* [[Me's A Crowd]]: He has the ability to create a remotely controlled body via magic, though it is too clumsy to use for battle.
* [[One-Man Army]]: He crushes any army he encounters with his devastating spells. In your party, [[Game Breaker|he's only slightly less powerful than he is in cutscenes]].
* [[Royalty Super Power]]: {{spoiler|All human royals have some trace of protohuman blood, and the Grangold royal family has it stronger than most. Once this blood is awakened by Lilith, he's a nigh-invulnerable magical powerhouse.}}
Line 482 ⟶ 559:
The ruler and mother of the Ant Girls. Due to her daughters fighting in Grangold's army, she is believed to be the mastermind behind Grangold's actions. {{spoiler|She is actually another victim, being imprisoned in Grangold Castle.}}
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: She has four arms.
* [[Skippable Boss]]: She's a boss on the Ilias route but not the Alice route. This is because Ilias provokes her into a fight if she's a companion.
* [[Through His Stomach]]: To recruit her, you need to give her Fairy Nectar, a delicacy from Yamatai.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Poseidoness ===
Line 489 ⟶ 569:
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: When talking to her, if you try to tell her about how Kraken was shrunken into a dried squid (that is capable of talking), she thinks she's being mocked and challenges the party to a fight.
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: She has features of both molluscs (tentacles) and crustaceans (jointed legs, some with pincers).
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Beelzebubs ===
The last three members of a race of fly monsters, possessing incredible power and reproductive capabilities. Due to the threat they posed, Alice I sealed the race within the Calamity Box. Most Beelzebubs died within the seal, with only the three strongest surviving to the present day.
* [[Explosive Breeder]]: According to their profile, they can produce 10,000 offspring a year.
* [[Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong]]: They lay their eggs inside human men, though it isn't the mouth they use but... the opposite end of the digestive tract.
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Though they manage to escape after being defeated by Luka's party, they are completely unnerved by the current state of the world. They don't have any idea of how to handle peace between humans and monsters or all of the powerful monsters just running around. They force their way into the party because they're too afraid to be on their own.
* [[Flies Equals Evil]]
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Natasha ===
A powerful succubus who leads an attack on Succubus Village. She used to be one of the many victimized girls of Luddite Village, but was transformed into a succubus by the Lilith Sisters during their attack. She tracked down one man who took special delight in abusing her, only to find that he had fled to Succubus Village.
* [[Dark And Troubled Past]]: She was heavily abused for her entire childhood, as was every other girl she knew.
* [[Knight Templar]]: She doesn't hesitate to wage war on a village of her own kind, just because they don't want her target to be executed by a vigilante. {{spoiler|However, if you side with her, she will end up sparing the man. If Lily was recruited, she empathizes with her and talks her out of revenge. If Lily wasn't recruited, she decides that the man isn't worth killing after seeing him grovel for his life.}}
* [[What the Hell Hero]]: She calls out Luka's party for passing through the village without doing anything to help its female population. Granted, they all wanted to do something and likely would have if the Lilith Sisters hadn't attacked, but her grievances are understandable.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Succubus ===
The chief of Succubus Village. She accepts a man fleeing from Luddite Village as a refugee, only for Natasha to arrive and demand to kill him. Succubus chose to protect the man, wanting him to be judged according to law, leading to the succubus civil war.
* [[His Name Really Is "Barkeep"]]: Yes, her name really is just "Succubus". Supposedly, it's due a custom among high-ranking monsters to be named after their race.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Cassandra Nereneid ===
The ruler of Lady's Village and a monster supremacist.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: Candy has stolen her power, transforming Cassandra into a mass of flesh resembling an internal organ.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]: When Luka's party recovers the candy containing Cassandra and Emily's power, it turns out that Candy has partially eaten Cassandra's portion. As a result, after eating the rest, Cassandra is only able to assume a much-weaker form that looks around the same age as her daughter.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: She and Emily laugh at Alice (if she's a companion) for her current shrunken state, despite being in even worse condition themselves.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Neris is mentioned to have defeated her and her entire village.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Emily Nereneid ===
Cassandra's daughter.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Neris is mentioned to have defeated her and her entire village.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Candy ===
A powerful monster who is an incredible glutton. When Cassandra and Emily are weakened from being beaten by Neris, Candy attacks and steals their power in the form of candy. With her newfound power, many of Lady's Village's inhabitants flock to her banner.
* [[Big Eater]]: She can eat four different sweet in a row and feel hungry immediately afterwards.
* [[The Starscream]]
* [[Through His Stomach]]: Recruiting her requires you to give her chocolate, cake, pudding and a parfait. Afterwards, she joins the party so that she can keep being fed.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Salamander ===
The Great Spirit of fire, resembling a dark-skinned elf with fire for hair. She lives within the magma-filled caverns of Gold Volcano. Luka forms a contract with her during his journey.
 
Her unique trait, "Fire Spirit", boosts fire damage by 30%, lets her always use Unarmed, Breath and Nature skills, boosts the damage of Unarmed and Nature skills by 30%, gives her attacks Burn Strike, and makes her immune to fire damage and the Burn status.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: A literal one.
* [[Playing With Fire]]
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: She and Undine literally get along like fire and water. When you first meet her, the two of them argue and eventually drag everyone else into their fight.
 
{{hardline}}
 
=== Spider Princess ===
The ruler of spider monsters and an infamous tyrant. She leads the invasion of Grangold during Alice XV's war on humanity.
* [[Self-Proclaimed Love Interest]]: When the party challenges her, she claims that she'll become Luka's mistress if she loses. After being defeated, she pretends that the agreement was for her to become his ''fiance'' instead (despite Luka not agreeing to that part in the first place). She then starts talking about wedding arrangements.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: She and her entire race are defeated by Neris prior to her introduction.
 
{{hardline}}
Line 498 ⟶ 644:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: She is teased by her older "sisters" Micaela-chan and Lucifina-chan, despite them only being recently created and hence younger than her.
* [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: She's constantly naked, for no apparent reason.
* [[Skippable Boss]]: She is only fought on the Alice route. On the Ilias route, she immediately joins the party instead.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Ilias.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: When fought, she is greatly weakened from having to maintain the seal on {{spoiler|Ilias.}}
 
{{hardline}}

Four monsters of incrediblyincredible power who serve the Monster Lord.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by these characters as a whole include:}}
* [[Four Is Death]]
Line 533 ⟶ 681:
{{examples|Tropes specific to this character include:}}
* [[Demoted To Extra]]: Granberia was the most prominent of the Knights in the original game, but here she has far fewer appearances and less importance to the story.
* [[Magical Girl]]: {{spoiler|She interrupts the Magical Girl creation ritual, only for the power to flow into her instead. This leads to the hilarious sight of the proud dragonkin warrior in a fluffy pink dress.}}
* [[Master Swordsman]]
* [[Playing With Fire]]
Line 585 ⟶ 734:
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: She's unfailingly kind and polite, even as she's slowly killing people.
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Her temptation scene has her doing this to Luka, stuffing him inside her sweater at the same time.
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: If you accuse her of obtaining her sweater by stealing it from humans, she's offended at the suggestion... she only steals humans' lives, not their property.
* [[Sweater Girl]]: Amusingly, it covers more of her body than everything her younger sisters wear, combined.
* [[Sweater Girl]]: Amusingly, it covers more of her body than everything her younger sisters wear, combined. According to dialogue in battle, she made the sweater herself and once gave on to Morrigan, only for it to be destroyed.
