* [[The Ace]]: Arguably. You do earn tons of money farming/mining/fishing/whatever, kick ass in dungeons and win the heart of pretty much every unmarried girl in town.
* [[Bishonen]] - Taken even further with the [[Real Men Wear Pink|feminine accessories]] [[Virtual Paper Doll|displayed when equipped]] in ''Frontier''.
=== Mist ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Ami Koshimizu]] (JP); [[Stephanie Sheh]] (EN) (Frontier)}}

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Normally a ditzy, sweet girl, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usQ7a5Cr7Yc&feature=related cheat on her] [[Yandere|and...]]
** Mist is upset. [[Do Not Try This At Home]].

* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Curtains Match the Windows]]
=== Mei ===
{{quote|A wandering woman who enjoys fishing. She's supposedly on a mission, but she'll never say what it is.}}
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]] - Courting her is [[Guide Dang It|tedious]] to say the least, and marrying her has no special perks.
* [[The Cameo]]: She reappears in the third game in the inn, in charge of changing your name and the farm's. For laughs, give her a lover snapper and she'll ask if you're proposing to her.

** Not exactly. He still thinks that elves are superior on the second generation, but the fact that he no longer ''hates'' people means that he's warmed up to the people around him.

=== Ray ===
{{quote|The son of the local doctor, Ray is a aspiring doctor as well. In the Second Chapter, he takes over the position.}}

* [[BFS]]: Has several in her house.
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Hinted at in one of Julia's errands. She apparently brought a sword with her into the bathhouse and was swinging it around, frightening the other patrons. When you return it, Tanya mentions that she may have had a few drinks that day...
=== Herman ===
{{quote|The patriarch of the De Saint Coquille family. Very influential on the town, and holds most of the festivals and contests.}}
* [[Big Eater]]: Will accept any gift "as long as it's food". [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|This is not true]], he only acknowledges Curry Rice as a gift on his birthday, and not all of his statements about food are true. However, he still has a large preference for food.

* [[Hollywood Pudgy]] One of her quests involves her asking what sorts of girls you like. One question is if you prefer plump or slender girls, and she's happiest if you say you like plump girls. She must be talking plump in the chest, because she's ''certainly'' not plump in the waist!

* [[Big Eater]]: Not Kuruna, but Will. He's able to eat about 100 turnips a day. Micah notes that Collette might have some competition.

Has a shy, somewhat reticent personality, and finds it rather difficult talking to Aden, with whom she falls in love with at first sight. Enjoys gardening, and, like her sisters, can sing the Spirit Song.}}
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Comes into effect with her brown eyes and brown hair.
=== Elektra ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Sakura Tange]] (JP); Lauren Landa (EN)}}
{{quote|Daughter of Beatrix, the matriarch of the Hattain sub-branch of the wealthy de Sainte-Coquille clan, she is a hardworking and diligent individual who, on top of acting as Fenith Island's representative in her mother's stead, strives to help earn funds for her family, which is rather strapped for cash. Nevertheless, she maintains an optimistic outlook on things and likes to help others. In her spare time, she enjoys crafting accessories and studying in secret in the hopes of one day attending a school in the city. She is good friends with her maid, Maerwen.}}
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Demonstrated with her [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]] and blue eyes.
* [[Non-Idle Rich]]: Amongst her other duties as representative of Fenith Island, she does a lot of the housework and some part-time jobs, which she doesn't necessarily mind, though much to her maid, Maerwen's, chagrin.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Certainly one of the fancier ones seen on any character, and even has tools and various clothier paraphernalia in the pockets and otherwise about, likely used for her accessory crafting.
=== Sierra (JP: Sarah) ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Fumie Mizusawa]] (JP); GK Bowles (EN)}}
{{quote|An extroverted tomboy who co-runs the general store, “Twins,” with her twin brother, Bismarck, she largely lacks motivation to do her job, preferring instead to skip work to have fun elsewhere. Easy-going and a bit absent-minded at times, she can occasionally speak without thinking, to the chagrin of some. Is good friends with Odette, with whom she visits while procrastinating. }}
* [[Bifauxnen]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary|Arguably]] less so than Mikoto, though still a rather prominent characteristic.
=== Elena ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Kanae Ito]] (JP); Stephanie Misa (EN)}}
{{quote|A spirited adolescent who is Fenith Island’s resident blacksmith and lives at her shop with her older brother, James, she fashions partially-mechanical golems during her spare time, and displays an inordinate knowledge of the subject. While she often speaks harshly to others and has no qualms about saying disparaging comments, she has a kind heart. Frequently uses Aden as a personal guinea pig for her newest creations.}}
* [[The Blacksmith]]: In addition to her smithy work, she also makes and uses [[golem]]s, as mentioned above. One of these runs the weapons shop, "Chronos," for her.
=== Mikoto ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Yuu Kobayashi]] (JP); Erika Weinstein (EN)}}
{{quote|A stoic and very formal ''onna-bugeisha'', or lady-samurai, hailing from the Far East, she works as a hired guard charged with protecting Fenith Island’s borders and speaks sparsely of her past. While she lacks confidence in herself as a person, she trains diligently every morning to become a stronger warrior. Ordinarily composed, she can, at times, show sudden bursts of anger or other emotions, particularly if she is comfortable with someone or in close proximity to a cute animal. }}
* [[Bifauxnen]]: To the point where Fenith Island's residents aren't quite sure she's a woman.
=== Maerwen ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Ryo Hirohashi]] (JP); [[Karen Strassman]] (EN)}}
{{quote|An outwardly cold Dark Elf who serves as the de Sainte-Coquilles' maid, she is good friends with Elektra, though is often frustrated by her constant menial working. Indeed, she can appear easily exacerbated with others and frequently expresses this, though, ultimately, she is a kind individual appreciative of others. She reads in her spare time, and can be rather sensitive about her heritage in certain situations. Deeply cherishes the garden to which she tends. }}
* [[Dub Name Change]]: To Maerwen, from Melprine.
=== Pandora ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Yukari Tamura]] (JP); Hunter Mackenzie Austin (EN)}}
{{quote|A demon encased in stone for several centuries due to a petrifaction spell gone awry, she is eventually released from her prison by Aden and Sonja, with whom she forms a peculiar relationship. Despite initial denial as to her nature, she later on becomes much more open about discussing her true identity and intentions of world domination, and often displays the ability to turn a conversation in any direction of her choosing. While somewhat menacing, she also can be kind to others. Eventually lives at the church and becomes a friend to Kilt in particular.}}
* [[Affably Evil]]: Even when plotting to take over the world, she's awfully [[Friendly Enemy|friendly]] to both Aden and Sonja, especially. The three can strike up a nice, somewhat friendly conversation, for example, only to have Pandora easily turn their chat around into a dark and menacing exchange, then back to amiable banter again soon thereafter. She also proves relatively helpful later on in the game. Additionally, she seems to be on relatively good terms with Fenith Island's younger citizens, one of whom addresses her as [[Affectionate Nickname|"Devil-chan."]]
* [[Older Than They Look|Older Than She Looks]]: Though she doesn't appear so, she is over [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|four-hundred years old]], due largely to the accidental [[Taken for Granite|petrifaction]] mentioned above, as well as her ensuing [[And I Must Scream|suspended animation]]. This is also supported by her [[Antiquated Linguistics|antiquated style of speech]].
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: While she can, at times, exhibit more stereotypical traits associated with her race, such as intolerance of holy objects, she has no issues dwelling within Fenith Island's church once she has been fully revived from her petrifaction. Furthermore, she's capable of being rather amiable and even helpful, as previously mentioned.
* {{spoiler|[[People Puppets]]: Actually becomes possessed by her own father several times, as he disapproves of her being in a relationship with Aden, as well as for other various reasons}}.
* [[Pettanko]]: According to Quinn, Pandora is "just like her." She's not happy to hear that from her.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: ''Technically,'' it's supposed to be "Pandra" - at least according to the pre-order material - [[Your Mileage May Vary|but that's not nearly as cool]].
=== James ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Hiroyuki Yoshino]] (JP) [[Matthew Mercer]] (EN)}}
{{quote|An intrepid merchant who cares for his sister, Elena, he exhibits a cordial and gentlemanly air. Valuing politeness, he has no qualms about chastising his younger sibling for her at-times rude behavior, though nevertheless dotes on her frequently. Kind and down-to-earth, he is an amiable and welcoming individual.}}
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Has this toward Elena, to the point of giving warning to Aden that he will [[My Sister Is Off-Limits|"not hand her out so freely."]]
=== Joe ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] (JP); Chris Rickabaugh (EN)}}
{{quote|An extroverted, out-going treasure hunter who lives off the coast of Fenith Island with his sea-faring grandfather, Bacchus, with whom he often disagrees with over the validity of his profession. Nevertheless, he is passionate about what he does, and displays competence at the task. Having a prankster personality, he is no stranger to reprimands and is rather expressive in his emotions and opinions. Upon seeing Sonja for the first time, he instantly falls in love with her.}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In the JP version, at least:
=== Bismarck ===
{{quote|Voiced By: Hideyuki Hayami (JP) [[Todd Haberkorn]] (EN)}}
{{quote|A kind, though somewhat reticent, young man who co-runs the general store with his twin sister, Sierra, he is diligent in his work and takes pride in his profession, though is often exacerbated by his sibling’s lack of motivation and his constant need to reprimand her. He notably values chivalry, and will not stand for the unseemly actions of others, particularly if those actions are directed at women. Can sometimes be a bit socially awkward, particularly in concerns to Sonia. }}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: He’s actually self-conscious about it, noting that “Bismark” sounds powerful and impressive while he is… well, not.
=== Beatrix (JP: Bonaparte) ===
{{quote|Matriarch of the local sub-branch of the de Sainte-Coquille clan, the Hattain, and mother of Elektra, she is a bit of an eccentric that spends the better part of the day in the family's backyard attempting to dig up a buried fortune. Nevertheless, despite her somewhat neglectful ways, she sincerely cares for her daughter. Has the tendency to end words with random suffixes, and enjoys food. }}▼

Nevertheless, despite her somewhat neglectful ways, she sincerely cares for her daughter. Has the tendency to end words with random suffixes, and enjoys food.}}
* [[Big Eater]]: Largely seen when she acts as the host and head judge of the annual cooking competition. Electra says she eats five times as much as a normal person.
=== Quinn (JP: Kilt) ===
{{quote|Voiced By: Hunter Mackenzie Austin (EN)}}
{{quote|An orphan, though otherwise generally happy-go-lucky, young girl who lives at Fenith Island's church with her twin brother, Knit, she has a bright and cheerful personality, preferring to play outdoors than be stuck inside. Still, she is perceptive to her sibling's feelings, and so reacts to them accordingly and looks after him the best she can. Helps to clean the chapel in her spare time.}}
* [[Genki Girl]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary|Arguably]] not so much as other characters, though she is still [[Cheerful Child|very chipper]].
=== Kelsey (JP: Knit) ===
{{quote|Voiced By: Jay D. Stone (EN)}}
{{quote|An orphan, and debilitatingly shy, young boy who lives at Fenith Island's church with his twin sister, Kilt, he has a timid and somewhat sensitive demeanor, favoring time to himself and often opting to say little when prompted. Rather skittish, he regularly relies on his sister's guidance and lead in various situations. Reads books during his spare time, and seems to be a bit taken with Violet, around whom he often feels faint. }}
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Unsurprisingly, he wears blue, while Quinn wears pink.
=== Jocelyn (JP: Jaslyn); ===
{{quote|Voiced by: Michelle Anne Dunphy (EN)}}
{{quote|A traveling archeologist who visits Fenith Island twice a week, she has a fine eye for item identification, and so will appraise curiosities brought to her by the community's residents. An amiable individual with a calm matter of speech and an approachable demeanor, she is an all-around friendly person. Dresses in fine clothing, and is married.}}
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Can be seen in concerns to her [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|violet hair]] and [[Purple Eyes|violet eyes]].
=== Father Gerard (JP: Grey) ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Kyle Hebert]] (EN)}}
{{quote|A priest who resides over Fenith Island's church and caretaker of Quinn and Kelsey, he has a rather flamboyant personality and often refers to himself with feminine pronouns. An honest, forthright, and affable individual, he holds the community's trust, and so serves as an emotional guide of sorts. He is fond of cute things and persons, and has taken a bit of a liking to Aden in particular. Presides over the summer's beach activities, and has a scar under his left eye.}}
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Some of his lines toward Aden sound like outright flirting, and that's putting aside his [[Camp Gay|flamboyant personality]].
=== Bacchus ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Michael McConnohie]] (EN)}}
{{quote|Joe's alcoholic grandfather and guardian who lives off of Fenith Island's local pier in a houseboat, he is boisterous and rather outspoken, much to the chagrin of some at times. Has an adventurous attitude and generally attacks things with gusto, particularly fishing, of which he is particularly fond. Is a regular patron of the inn, "Sisters'," bar, and has a bit of a thing for Lily. }}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Though, admittedly, he appears to drink simply because he enjoys it, and not for emotional reasons.
=== The Goblin Pirate Captain ===
{{quote|Voiced By: Kyle Hebert (EN)}}
{{quote|[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Just as his title suggests]], he's the captain of a band of goblin pirates that repeatedly causes minor annoyances for Aden and Sonja. }}
* [[Enemy Mine]]: While he and his crew do antagonize Aden and Sonja, they aren't fighting on the side of the Masked Man either. {{spoiler|He realizes this toward the end and tries to help.}}
=== The Masked Man ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Patrick Seitz]] (EN)}}
{{quote|A mysterious, ominous individual who serves as the main antagonist, he ardently pursues Aden and Sonja and constantly causes grievances for them, sometimes opting to physically confront the two if the need should arise. Has a unnatural fixation with the world's various elemental temples and the orbs they house, as well as the mythical Legendary Golem, which appears to be one of the main reasons for his duplicitous actions. Additionally, has a great need for the Spirit Song, and, while he can sing it, often targets others with the same ability. {{spoiler|Later revealed to be Sonja's possessed body}}.}}
* [[A God Am I]]
== [[Rune Factory 4]] ==
=== Lest ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Kouki Uchiyama]]}}
{{quote|The male protagonist. Volkanon finds him after he has fallen out of an airship and lost his memories. He later becomes the temporary prince of the town and is in charge of expanding and attracting people to it. Like Frey, he can communicate with dragons.}}
* [[Bishonen]]: So pretty that some fans mistook him for the [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|female protagonist.]]
=== Frey ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Chiwa Saito]]}}
{{quote|The female protagonist. Volkanon finds her after she has fallen out of an airship and lost her memories. She later becomes the temporary princess of the town and is in charge of expanding and attracting people to it, though she struggles with this task. Like Lest, she can communicate with dragons.}}

=== Kohaku ===
{{quote|Voiced By: [[Satomi Satou]]}}
