The Reason Why/Characters

Nadimia T.K. Davola

A young girl, age eight, who appears to be naive and unassuming (although she is, to an extent) — but in fact has a very strange set of parents...

Het Is Ew: For her parents, at least — one is Naida, while the other is Nanami. The mere fact that she mentions her parents causes Allura to nearly collapse.

Allura: Th-the casket, it....I saw it myself.... it was g---glass.......she stared right through me............

Moe
Only Sane Girl: She approaches the whole situation very calmly. Perhaps too calmly...

Allura McCoy

An old woman with a troubled past and a vendetta to settle. She's uncomfortable with keeping Nadimia with her, especially due to Chrissie.

Alternative Character Interpretation: She's the Princess Allura, albeit greatly changed from those days long ago. For one thing (as mentioned in "Darkness"), she was forced to watch her parents being murdered.
Christmas Cake: To an extent.
Fan Nickname: The author refers to "his" Allura as "New Allura".
My Girl Is a Slut: She can't even seem to reign in her own daughter, although this is nowhere near being her fault.
My Girl Is Not a Slut: What people think Allura thinks, since she seems unable to pull her daughter in.
Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Looks to be in her mid-40s (mid-20s in her costume), but is really much older.

"...and I am most certainly too old for school."

Took a Level in Badass: She's been through quite a bit, which has battered and hardened her.
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Lilac, to be specific, although this isn't her natural color.

Chrissie MaCockenshipiel

Allura's daughter. Although on the surface she appears to be a sweet, kind girl, she has a very foul mind and is prone to saying something provocative at any moment.

Broken Bird: While Chrissie has had a super-dirty persona for at least 200 years (a highly-unusual torture gave her said personality, although the change wasn't made clear until she was rescued after thirty-five years of it), she believes she wasn't meant to live for as long as she has (982 years). According to the author, these feelings can be traced back to The Grand Eulogy, where she appears extremely briefly and never interacts with the author himself.
Curse Cut Short: Several times, a particularly-dirty phrase or word will be cut off.
Drowning My Sorrows: Implied that this is how she copes with her myriad problems — or at least, the ones her mother doesn't know of.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: Inverted; if she's giving Fan Service, chances are pretty good she knows about it.
Medium Awareness / Fourth Wall Observer: Chrissie nearly calls herself a character during "Home", getting as far as "cha--" before correcting herself and saying "person". Allura doesn't seem to notice this, however.
Ms. Fanservice / Fan Service with a Smile: Turned Up to Eleven.
I'm A Slut!: She will talk innocently and sweetly about butterflies, then (in the same voice!) ask someone a really dirty question. And she has no reservations about talking that way.
Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Chrissie adds up her age in bunches during "Home", arriving at 982. She then rocks back and forth, sobbing and murmuring about how "I wasn't meant to live this long".
Too Kinky to Torture: To the point where Allura can't administer motherly punishments because Chrissie likes it.

The Boss

An unknown entity who Allura and Chrissie work for, and a very sadistic man. He speaks briefly in "Reasons", but in "Home" phones Allura's home to order the pair and Nadimia to his headquarters.

The Faceless: Only one light is in his office, positioned in such a way that his face can't be seen from any angle.

Richard Dawkins

A guard who works for the Boss, appearing in "Storm". He and Allura seem to know each other.
