ENA

1. #1Particular emotions

   Keys: ENA's Emotions, ENA's emotions, ENAs emotions, Ena's emotions, Enas emotions, ena's emotions, enas emotions,

   When ENA’s two emotions become too extreme, half of ENA's face becomes white and the other black. Her mouth and nose move to the white side when this occurs, though there are very brief instances in Auction Day where they are on the black side. Her sclera turns black, and the color of her iris changes to correspond with the color of the emotion that she is feeling. When she is happier, or "drunk", her white side is on her left side with a yellow iris, and she appears to be unstable as she will often slur her speech. When she is sadder, her white side is on the right side, with a blue iris. She is also seen to lose her arms and spin around during a tantrum she had while in her sad form. As seen in Extinction Party and Temptation Stairway, some of her more extreme movements while in her sadder form leave behind a faint afterimage of herself.

2. #2Alternate forms (Set 1)

   Keys: Demon, demon, Demon Form, Demon form, demon form, Diablada Form, Diablada form, diablada form, Diablada, diablada

   When experiencing a particular emotion, typically causing her face to become half white, ENA may shift into other forms. These vary from small to prolonged instances and usually reflect the emotion she was feeling before transforming.

   As seen in Extinction Party, ENA occasionally shifts into other forms when she is drunk. These appear to be transformations from her happy/drunk side. These forms have been dubbed her "Demon" and "Diablada" forms.

   For her Demon form, her blue side is now orange (with her nose also on the orange side), and her yellow side and her torso are now green. Pointed ears appear on each side of her head. Her geometric hand now has sharp fingers, and she often puts it around the back of her head. She now only has one eye, which is on her smooth side and has a white sclera and pupil with a maroon iris. She also sports dark green horns on her head while having a small Ena face on her forehead, resembling her normal blue and yellow appearance.

   When in her Diablada form, again, her dual colors change. Her smooth side has white skin with a triangular eye, while her geometric side sports a face resembling a dark purple Diablada demon mask. The geometric side has a large bulging eye, pink lips with jagged, outward-facing teeth, a large, winding yellow horn alongside smaller horns, and a frill that resembles fire. Her limbs are also different colors, now having a green geometric leg and a yellow geometric arm with a clawed purple hand. Her shirt is yellow with white sleeves. Also, it seems like her long hair on her geometric side is not there anymore.

   In both of these forms, an ENA's mouth is in the middle and not on either side, with the said mouths being more human-like. When talking, ENA's voice is glitchy and somewhat like she is struggling to speak, sometimes taking short pauses before speaking and usually saying something longer than normal (as when she says "you"), being similar to Ulysses's fourth voice.

3. #3Alternate forms (Set 2)

   Keys: Full Sadness Form, Full Sadness form, Full sadness form, full sadness form, Full Sadness, Full sadness, full sadness

   As seen in Temptation Stairway, her sad form also has an alternative form, considered her full-sadness form. She will turn into this form after usually having a major tantrum beforehand, which will cause her to remove the yellow side from her body. Her skin will turn gray and entirely geometric when she is completely sad. Her hair will be completely long, and she will only have one ahoge instead of two. Her socks will change into complete thigh highs and her left sleeve will become geometric. Her face will turn blank, with either half of her facial features appearing on the back of her hands. She usually covers her face with her hands in this form, making a full face.

   It seems the happiness and sadness of an ENA have "phases". The first phase is when the nose and mouth move to the blue or yellow side (via when she is happy or sad), the second one is when her face turns black and white (via when she is drunk or sadder), and her third phase is when she is in her full or glitched form of that emotion (via her full-sadness and Demon/Diablada forms).

4. #4Additional Facts

   Keys: Trivia, trivia, Facts, facts

   AN ENA uses she/her pronouns.

   AN ENA's specie name could be a reference to the Japanese words "笑顔" (egao, smile) and "涙" (namida, tears), likely reflecting that she has a happy and sad side.

   AN ENA has a strong love for turrón, as revealed in Temptation Stairway.

   One line from The Shepherd in Temptation Stairway implies that there is more than one ENA, presumably as a form of species. This is evident after ENA's encounter with The Shepherd, as she comes across a room of three other Enas floating in the void, sometimes glitching into Mannequins for a split second.

   AN ENA smells like chocolate milk.

   AN ENA's appearance at the end of Temptation Stairway is often thought to be her "full-happiness" form, but this has not been confirmed.

   AN ENA's specie name is pronounced as "eh-na" as this is the Spanish phonetic pronunciation of the word.

   Her outfit bears a striking resemblance to that of a standard schoolgirl uniform in Peru.

   One of her drunk forms also resembles a Diablada demon mask, especially the types present in Peru, which often sport bulging eyes alongside pink lips and spiraling horns.

   AN ENA's movements are somewhat based on the dance moves in the 1980 music video for "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads, as well as the movements by Osamu Sato in "THE EARTH IS ROUND" for his film titled THE ESOTERIC RETINA.

   The Drunk ENA's movements were based on the Drunk Master from the Jackie Chan film, Drunken Master.

5. #5The Episode.

   The episode opens in a 3D Overworld, showing Mannequins scattered around waiting for an event. Moony suddenly appears and calls Ena “I-NA” while showing her a skateboard trick. Moony then observes the Mannequins around the landscape, calling them idiots and stating that not many more will show up. Ena talks via her happy side but her sad voice comes out of it. She complains that she wants to go home and is “allergic to people.” Moony disregards this and says that it "smells like she'll finally be able to make her wish." She proceeds to call Ena "Jena" and impatiently tells her to hurry up and not ruin her moment to make her wish. Ena only grows more distraught and states she begins to hear voices in her head. Moony once again disregards Ena and hatches an idea to make a bet between the two friends: whoever makes it to The Great Runas and makes their wish first has to pay the debts of the loser. Ena, slightly saddened by the idea of having to pay the loser's debts, calls the idea awful, though Moony states that it is "proper punishment." Just as the two friends discuss the bet, a large footstep is heard, surprising Moony.

   The Great Runas, riding atop a boat-like figure, walks through the Overworld, which shocks Moony as she suddenly starts the bet and attempts to go after Runas. The screen flashes and large crowds of Mannequins appear as the sky turns green. Moony is trampled and flattened by the crowds while Ena begins to grow upset, holding in her static vomit and turning into her sad form. Ena begins to frantically flail around before half of her body begins to melt into static and gray arms emerge from her. The once happy side of her body has now completely melted off, and she shifts into her full-sadness form, taking a gray appearance as her face shifts to her hands. Ena covers her blank face as she begins to throw an emotional tantrum while Moony, still flattened, sighs and tells Ena to go on ahead while she has the chance.

   Ena runs through the crowds of Mannequins, weaving through the crowd before eventually coming across Brick Frog. The frog rolls in as explosion effects follow them, leading them to comment about their impressive entrance. Brick Frog tries to talk to Ena, though she continues to interrupt them and throw her tantrum. To revert Ena back to her regular state, Brick Frog begins to rapidly kick her, making Ena turn back to normal as she speaks via her happy side. Brick Frog, relieved at Ena's recovery, notices that she is chasing after The Great Runas to make a wish and gives her their hopes for reaching Runas before the event expires. However, they remain behind, as climbing makes them itchy and they enjoy watching the Mannequins fall. As Ena leaves Brick Frog, she continues through the many crowds of Mannequins, finding them to be dancing and stacking on top of one another to reach Runas. Ena then comes across another strange individual taking the appearance of a human juggling masks on a unicycle. As the man throws the masks into the air and suddenly leaves, the masks form into the Merchant who greets Ena in Spanish. They offer Ena treats to commemorate the event, though Ena refuses, stating her mission is to reach The Great Runas. The Merchant suddenly exclaims "Turrón!", and the two continue to chant the food's name and dance. For dancing with the Merchant, Ena receives a Turrón and continues on her journey. As time begins to run out, The Great Runas is suddenly sucked into the face of a strange Mannequin wearing blue clothing. Ena follows the god-like entity as it is transported into the Mannequin, ultimately falling in herself.

   After following The Great Runas, Ena finds herself in the Stairway Void with a pile of Mannequins in front of her. She turns to see the blue-dressed Mannequin from before, staring at her silently as she turns to look behind her. Ena looks on to see a group of floating staircases in the void and walks forward to enter the doorway of one of them.

   As Ena enters the doorway, she finds herself in a small hall containing pillars and a single window. She approaches the window, seeing birds flying outside, with the window having a design on it resembling The Great Runas's crying eyes. She turns around to find Ulysses, one of the inhabitants of The Great Runas's residence, floating at the other end of the hall. She approaches them, calling their attention to determine her whereabouts. Ulysses responds by stating the celebration of Runas has ended, yet Ena's "greedy soul" still ended up following it. They state that she is located within the residence of The Great Runas and that, unfortunate for her, the "divine door" of Runas's residence is fully closed. Ena howls "NoOoOoOo!" before asking when the next celebration will take place. Ulysses's voice glitches while stating the time it will take, but still receives a shocked response from Ena about how long it will take. Despite the shockingly long wait to escape, Ena states she will continue forward to make her wish and win the bet against Moony. Hearing about Ena's bet, Ulysses gives directions to Ena by pointing out the Holy code behind her and that it will eventually lead to the god-like entity, though they remind her with a warning that "desires are never fulfilled nor quenched" and that she "will fail like the rest of them." After the warning, Ena leaps into the Holy code before sinking down and receiving one last call, seemingly from Ulysses: "PUNISHMENT IS IMMINENT!"

   Ena sinks through the Holy code and begins to see clouds, suggesting that she is falling from the sky. She lands on the ground and is greeted by a large plain with large hourglasses scattered around. Ena looks around before spotting a large human-shaped greenhouse in the distance, walking toward it while spotting Mannequins and Holy code along the way. Inside the Dog Conservatory are Hourglass Dogs flying, multi-colored flowers, and a single tank circling the area. The tank suddenly shoots out a ball with red lips, with The Shepherd emerging from the mouth of the ball. She groans at seeing "another ENA troublemaker" and asks Ena to leave, stating that The Great Runas is no longer giving out horoscopes. Ena asks for private time with Runas before receiving a beating from The Shepherd, calling her a "brat" and a "simpleton", while stating no one will pass. Despite The Shepherd's harsh words, she is suddenly swooned by Ena's Turrón, causing the two to chant the food's name as they dance together like with the Merchant. After being given the food, The Shepherd allows Ena to pass, gives her a Blood ID, and gives her directions to head through an upcoming blue door, but notes that Ena "lost the battle", even if she "won the war". The Shepherd then lays to rest, dispersing into multiple orbs similar in appearance to the one she appeared from. Ena continues through the building and approaches an ocean of Holy code. She jumps in and finds multiple doorways and other Ena-like figures floating in the code, occasionally turning into Mannequins. Ena swims through the code and enters through the blue doorway, emitting a bright light.

   Upon entering the doorway, Ena approaches a large, gray building. Inside are long paths with many Mannequins bowing down at every place the paths intersect. Ena looks around before seeing a strange yellow figure in the distance, rotating. She follows the paths to approach it, finding it to be a large banana. Upon looking at the spinning fruit, she is approached by Mariya and Gabo, the latter carrying the former. Mariya instantly scolds Ena, calling her a "disgusting banana worshipper" and demanding identification. Ena hands over the Blood ID she receives from The Shepherd, but Mariya becomes angry and states that the ID tastes nothing like Ena. However, Ena yelps "YOU ARE ALL LIVING A LIE", causing them to quiet down in confusion. Mariya allows Ena to pass, reiterating their dislike for her as Gabo mentions the blood and banana, only getting an angered and confused response from Mariya. Ena continues on before a doorway forms in front of her, letting her outside of the Mannequin Expanse as she navigates the path. The green trails lead to many cat heads acting as entrances, and Ena walks through one in particular, leading her to the Desert in the middle of a raging sandstorm.

   Ena walks through the stormy desert, following the streetlights scattered throughout it. She eventually comes across an upside-down pyramid with an ophanim next to it. Ena approaches the ophanim and out comes Phindoll, a pink dolphin who seems extremely enthusiastic about meeting Ena. He even flirts with her at first before introducing himself. Ena greets Phindoll before he states that she seems ready for an initial interview ritual for an upcoming fight. He tells Ena to prepare to fight while hitting her with his tail, causing Ena to shift into her sad form as she remarks about the various characters on her journey hitting her softly, asking him to "finish the job". Phindoll notices her sudden stress and decides to give her a new task, instead telling her to stain the nearby water red in order to open the door of the pyramid. Upon giving Ena the new task, he returns back to his ophanim.

   Now given a new task, Ena walks around the desert, still following the streetlights through the storm. She suddenly comes across a floating green eye that leads her to a bone cauldron. Volley emerges from behind the cauldron while the water inside the cauldron turns red, causing the sandstorm to clear up. Ena heads back to the pyramid and enters the black and white hall presented to her as it twists while holes circle the walls and floor. She makes it to the end of the hall before finding a doorway filled with water. She walks through the doorway and falls down into a small room leading to the ominous Dead God Graveyard.

   Ena walks to the entrance of the graveyard as a large stone bearing the design of Runas's eyes rolls out of the way. She is presented with a wide-open area with various pillars. On top of the pillars are dead gods with doors similar to The Great Runas. In front of her is a pink trail leading to the door of The Great Runas, the final living god left. However, despite the calm moment, Moony suddenly appears to surprise Ena. Ena remarks about how she made it first before questioning where they are. Moony states that it is "the bedroom of The Great Runas", though she brushes off the amazing sight as lame. She also states that Runas is not quite as handsome in person before Ena asks how Moony was able to get to the graveyard in such a short amount of time. Moony states that her friend is asking "too many questions" before Ena asks for one more question, asking what Moony's wish was. Moony becomes embarrassed and keeps from telling her to avoid being made fun of, but a cracking sound is suddenly heard. Moony's body splits into two as a humanoid figure bearing Moony's colors emerges, causing Ena to look shocked while her blue side begins to become yellow. Moony admits that her wish was to be thinner as Ena disappointingly shakes her head.

6. #6The OVERWORLD

   Keys: The Overworld, The overworld, the overworld, Overworld, overworld

   The location seems to be the main setting for the series and also where the main character Ena resides. The Overworld also has different appearances ranging across the first three ENA shorts:

   In Auction Day, it has a dark gray ground with a light gray sky with clouds floating through as well as a 3D model of a cartoon crescent moon spinning in the sky. There is also a large structure in the distance where the Auctioneer resides which consists of an oval-shaped platform with two rotating "arms" and a stairway.

   In Extinction Party, while appearing only briefly in the beginning, it seems to have had a design change. The ground is a lighter gray while the clouds and moon are absent. The ground has rectangular prisms sticking up from it while a large, blue sofa chair-like object is also present, which opens up to lead to the Maze.

   In Temptation Stairway, the ground does not have as much noise as in previous episodes. The prisms previously sticking out of the ground in Extinction Party are now large mint-colored pyramid structures. The sky also appears to have white streaks running through it, almost like rain. When The Great Runas arrives, the sky turns green and large clouds quickly move through the sky.

7. #7The Desert

   Keys: The Desert, The desert, the desert, Desert, desert

   The Desert is a location inside of the residence of The Great Runas which appears in Temptation Stairway.

   The Desert is a large floating island consisting of yellow sand, scattered streetlights, floating spheres with orange and white patterns, and a single upside-down pyramid. To the east of the island is a rockier part consisting of dried ground, stone spheres, a palm tree made of large bones and a cauldron. In the distance of the island is a large floating Komainu head.

   Ena enters the area through a cat-like door in the Mannequin Expanse. The entrance of the area has two blue arms holding pink threads. The area also has a raging sandstorm with the scattered streetlights leading the way to the pyramid with their light. Once at the pyramid, Ena encounters Phindoll and is tasked with staining the desert's water red in order to open the door to the pyramid.

   Once Ena traverses through the desert, a floating green eye leads her to a cauldron where she meets Volley. The water in the cauldron turns red and the sandstorm subsides, revealing the full Desert and letting Ena enter the pyramid. The pyramid interior consists of a long white hallway with black rectangles moving across the walls and floor. The hallway twists itself when Ena enters it. At the end of the hallway is the entrance to the Dead God Graveyard, accessible through a tunnel with walls made of water and code.

8. #8Dead God Graveyard

   Keys: The Dead God Graveyard, The dead god graveyard

   The Dead God Graveyard is a location inside of the residence of The Great Runas which appears in Temptation Stairway.

   The Dead God Graveyard is entered through a hall in a pyramid located in the Desert. A short drop into a tunnel with water and code-based walls leads to the entrance of the graveyard. The entrance has a brown, rocky, cave-like interior with a single sliding door donning a pattern resembling two black eyes with tears running down, the same pattern seen on the Great Runas's door. Surrounding the entrance are pillars of white light.

   Inside of the Dead God Graveyard is a large expansive area with many pillars. Each pillar has a door similar to the one on The Great Runas's residence, though their eyes are closed, they lack tears, and do not emit a faint blue glow like Runas's door. The sky is a deep green with clouds resembling figures swirling around the sky. A single pink pathway leads to one of the pillars that has the Great Runas's door.

   When Ena enters the area, she is greeted by Moony. Ena asks how Moony was able to get to the area in such a short duration of time, to which Moony responds that she is "asking too many questions". Moony allows her to ask another question and is asked what Moony's wish to Ena was. Moony retorts in embarrassment before she transforms into a skinny humanoid form, telling Ena that she wished to be thinner as Ena looks on, shaking her head. Throughout this interaction, Ena's blue side slowly turns to yellow, resembling her happy side and making her fully yellow.

9. #9The Great Runas

   Keys: The Great Runas, The great runas, Great Runas, great runas

   The Great Runas is a well-known god-like entity. It was first mentioned in Temptation Stairway. The Great Runas is never outright seen, but its residence is full of landscapes and code that are larger on the inside than it looks on the outside.

   The Great Runas is implied to be a god of some sort in the ENA universe, though its true appearance is never seen. Moony comments on Runas's appearance, stating that it "doesn't look all that handsome in person", implying that she was able to see Runas in order to make her wish in Temptation Stairway.

   Instead of through a physical appearance, The Great Runas's residence is shown as a form of transportation, representing the deity in its place. While parading through the Overworld, it rides atop a large gray structure shaped like a boat with two legs. Decorating the structure are large, thorny vines sprouting purple roses. Mannequins can be seen climbing and falling off of the structure, attempting to reach The Great Runas itself.

   The entrance to The Great Runas's residence appears as a large arch, similar in shape to a door. The outside of the arch contains jagged points. The space underneath the arch has an orange wall inside it. The face on the wall has a design of a pair of black, empty eyes with tears streaming down it. While parading, the arch also wears a black cape with a starry texture. In the Dead God Graveyard, the arch emits a faint blue glow, while its transportation device and cape are absent.

10. #10The Stairway Void

    Keys: The Stairway Void, The stairway void, Stairway Void, stairway void

    The Stairway Void is a location inside of the residence of The Great Runas which appears in Temptation Stairway.

    The Stairway Void is simply a large, black void with almost no notable landmarks within it. However, there is a large group of staircases floating in the void, each having a blue set of stairs with a red and yellow carpet running down them, leading to an empty doorframe. One stairway has a glowing doorframe that leads to the Mannequin Expanse hall once entered.

    The Stairway Void is where Ena finds herself after pursuing The Great Runas during its parade. The area is accessed after The Great Runas is absorbed by a Mannequin with black hair, a blue dress, and a single orange eye. After running into the dressed Mannequin, a sharp noise plays and the screen cuts to black. Ena is seemingly unconscious until she awakens to see a pile of Mannequin corpses, presumably those that got to The Great Runas. After turning to the left, Ena sees the same dressed Mannequin that absorbed Runas, now with a completely black eye.

11. #11Blood ID

    Keys: Blood ID, Blood id, blood id

    The Blood ID is an item given to Ena by The Shepherd in Temptation Stairway.

    Once Ena gives The Shepherd a Turrón, The Shepherd exchanges the gift for the Blood ID and allows Ena to pass by her.

    Later in the episode, Ena gives the Blood ID to Mariya and Gabo, to which Mariya retorts by saying it tastes nothing like Ena. Nevertheless, the two still allow Ena to continue.

    The Blood ID resembles a computer hard drive chip.

    Another use for blood as a method of identification is mentioned in the episode Extinction Party when the Keeper requests Ena a blood sample due to her "exterior" not matching their "community's typical standards". It's plausible that this item may show certain discriminatory nature from certain characters.

12. #12Auction Day

    Auction Day: At the beginning, a stage is shown with numerous Headtombs gathered around. Ena and Moony are approaching the stage, where an auction will be held soon. Moony hurries Ena, stating that they need to hurry up and find a spot while Ena moves about. Ena positively states that the days of the auctions are the grandest of days before her eyes show static and she turns into her sad state, crying out that today will be "Awful!" before stating that it will be the worst day of her life.

    Arriving at the auction, Moony is surprised at the crowd present and comments that everyone is ugly. Moony then asks Ena what her guess is for what would be for sale that day. Ena, still in her sad state, begins to put herself down and asks why she would know, and says that she's too stupid to even imagine anything. Shortly after these comments, she reverts to her previous state and apologizes to Moony for her response.

    On the auction stage, a blue and purple cassette tape rises before its arms fade in. It grabs a small puppet and inserts its green proboscis into the back of its head, making it jolt into action. The puppet welcomes the bidders to the daily auction and presents the item to be sold, a dog inside an hourglass. The Auctioneer seems quite confused with the item being sold, but quickly regains composure and offers a starting price of 20 chocolates. As the price is announced, Ena happily compliments Moony for her brilliant foresight upon seeing the big offer that starts off the auction. Moony remarks about how the dog looks like it has something to say before laughing at her own joke, receiving a questioned look and a comment from a very confused Ena, asking Moony what's wrong with her.

    Upon hearing the starting price of 20 chocolates, the Headtombs around Ena and Moony begin to chatter before they bid. One tomb bids 50 chocolates, surprising the Auctioneer, who asks if there is a counter bid. Another tomb offers 400 chocolates while a third one offers one fatty catty. The Auctioneer starts to announce the fatty catty bid before beginning to finalize the bid for the Hourglass Dog, only to be interrupted by falling rain-rocks crushing some of the Headtombs. As Ena and Moony look up at a large passing head, Moony sadly claims that the auction will be canceled due to the rock rain.

13. #13Extinction Party

    Extinction Party: The episode starts with an empty animated background before abruptly introducing Ena in front the foreground. She asks Keeper if she could enter the Maze to find Moony and give urgent information to her. Keeper states, somewhat discriminatorily, that her exterior isn't up to their community's typical standards and asks her to present a blood sample immediately. Ena turns sad and responds that she felt rudeness in their sentence before changing into her sadder form. She asks Keeper to shoot her, having a meltdown and spinning around the screen while crying frantically. But she immediately regains her composure and returns to her happy state, explaining that the guardian's safety concerns are valid but reiterating that her mission is very important to accomplish. After the explanation, Keeper calculates her threat level, with the calculation being terminated when Ena is determined to be safe. They tell Ena to shut up and go in peace, to which Ena thanks them and enters the Maze.

    Ena wanders the hallways of the maze and soon encounters Merci, approaching her in a cutscene-style interaction. She greets her dramatically, and via a fake translation in the video, Merci greets her back and assumes she's on a special quest. Ena affirms her assumption and asks for directions, to which Merci answers that she needs to leap straight ahead and dance to the right. Ena thanks her, ending the conversation. Ena follows Merci's directions and encounters a portal that leads to a small room with Rubik in it. Ena approaches Rubik, stating in a pun that their appearance is quite puzzling, before Rubik's face is revealed and they become annoyed, demanding privacy and shooing her away. Ena complies and walks into the portal behind them to another part of the Maze. She walks through a hallway filled with green fog before encountering Robert in another cutscene-style interaction. Robert pops up from their U.F.O. and, via another fake translation in the video, acknowledges that Ena is searching for Moony and sorrowfully gives her advice on how to reach the Moon, saying that she has to take the dizzying path behind them. They suggest that she shouldn't go with an untrained mind, as she could die as a result, before disappearing in a bright wave of light. Ena feels disheartened but presses on.

    Ena follows the dizzying path leading to Moony; the path has more green fog, and a pink mesh hand appears to gesture for Ena to head forward. Ena then climbs a stairway leading to a giant eye. Inside, she finds a dark starry room with Moony floating in the center. Ena approaches Moony to talk to her, causing the Moon to become quite surprised at her visiting before laughing and spouting a nonsensical one-liner. The perspective shifts to a drunk Ena, speaking with slow, slurred words as she expresses her confusion about Moony's joke as well as the world around her, proclaiming, "everything here is so weird!", all the while temporarily transforming into different forms. Moony groans, rolls her eyes, and asks if she's "drunk again", implying that this has occurred before. Ena returns to her happy state, repudiating her drunkenness profusely and clarifying that she came to visit in order to deliver a gift to Moony.

    At first, Moony is unimpressed, as Ena's hands are empty, but she then gasps in realization. The camera zooms into Ena's palms until the line art becomes a black background. Moony appears in the void and proclaims that she is the gift after all, and Ena smiles at her.

14. #14Headtombs

    Keys: Headtombs, HeadTombs, headtombs,

    The Headtombs appear as blue tombs with blue and pink wireframe faces similar to ones in 3D modeling, although lacking eyes and noses. Their faces are divided into nineteen shapes, four quadrilaterals and fifteen triangles, the size of these shapes alter as they speak, with ones near the mouth being subject to greater changes than ones farther away. The mouths consist of two roughly identical, purple lips; and six pale-blue teeth, with a set of three attached to each lip.

    They possess crossed hands and a wrist of the same colors below their faces. These are also divided into triangular and quadrilateral shapes, with the distribution and wrist being the same for each. They are never seen moving.

    When the view is not focused on them (i.e. they are in the background), their appearance differs. As a whole their resolution is greatly diminished, and are less detailed. Their faces are slightly less symmetrical, and the shapes composing them appear to be made more sloppily and some with the same blue color as the rest of their bodies. Their hands are also simpler, now each having only three fingers - with the thumb being one of the missing fingers, being less symmetrical in relation to each other, and the wrists being much pointier.

15. #15The Auctioneer

    Keys: The Auctioneer, The auctioneer, Auctioneer, auctioneer

    The Auctioneer is a minor character who appears in Auction Day. They are trying to sell the Hourglass Dog to the attendees of the daily auction, including a group of Headtombs, Ena, and Moony.

    The Auctioneer is a puppet-like humanoid being. They are wearing black pants, a black hat, an off-white collared shirt, a red jacket, and a yellow tie. They have pure white eyes with swirls within them. They seem to be controlled by a blue and purple compact cassette tape-like object with faceted arms. When the cassette tape inserts its green striped proboscis into the back of the Auctioneer's head, it allows them to talk and move.

    Like his namesake, the Auctioneer's overly enthusiastic, fast-paced and exaggeratedly slick, with frequent exclamations of "Sooie, Sooie!" as a weird sort of tic.

16. #16The Maze

    Keys: The Maze, The maze, Maze, maze

    The Maze consists mostly of identical hallways decorated with orange wallpaper with a green and dark orange vine design. At times, the halls contain a green fog that makes viewing beyond the halls of the Maze impossible for anyone on either side of the fog clouds. There are portals within that allow for instantaneous travel between different rooms and hallways. Near one end of the Maze is a long, dizzying, green path filled with lots of fog. Said path ends at a canyon-like landscape with a single stairway leading to an eye-shaped room.

    While Merci, Robert, Rubik, and Moony are all found within it, further details concerning their presence in the Maze are unknown. The Keeper prevents unwanted visitors from entering the labyrinth, including Ena due to her appearance not meeting the "community's typical standards."

    Within the Maze are also what appear to be strangely-shaped furniture or decorations. The two types of furniture appear to be a table-like piece with a curved blue base and red vein-like legs (which also has a figure on it resembling a woman) and a bed-like piece consisting of a rough blue bottle-like body with six legs projecting from its sides and a diamond-shaped headboard. Dark humanoid beings outlined in red also appear in the Maze, sitting on tables and unmoving. No character mentions the strange furniture or humanoid creatures, nor do these try to interact with each other or Ena.

    The Maze is implied to be dangerous for Ena to some extent, as stated by Merci and Robert's translated dialogue. Merci tells Ena to not "accept anything from people around here" while Robert states that events happen in the corridors of the Maze that are "too shameful for words". These events are mysterious in nature as they are never outright seen in the episode nor described beyond the two character interactions.

17. #17Gabo

    Keys: Gabo, gabo

    Gabo is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway, serving as a guardian alongside Mariya.

    Gabo is an adult humanoid with a green afro who wears a pink ballerina-like outfit with a pink tutu and pink leggings. He carries a plate in his left hand, of which Mariya is placed upon. He has black, socket-like eyes, as well as a brown beard and eyebrows.

    Gabo speaks in Japanese-accented English accompanied by discordant notes from a piano.

    Gabo ends all of his sentences with a resounding "YES."

18. #18The Mannequin Expanse

    Keys: The Mannequin Expanse, The mannequin expanse, Mannequin Expanse, mannequin expanse

    The Mannequin Expanse is a location inside of the residence of The Great Runas which appears in Temptation Stairway.

    The first section is a small hall with a green floor, gray walls, rows of pillars, and a single window showcasing a design similar to The Great Runas's eyes with white birds flying outside. In the center of the hall is a rectangular hole filled with Holy code, a water-like substance that is similar to computer code. This hole is also mirrored onto the hall's ceiling.

    When Ena enters this area through the Stairway Void, she investigates the hall before encountering Ulysses. While talking, Ena informs Ulysses that she is out to win a bet against Moony, to which Ulysses directs her to the Holy code behind her, eventually leading her to the Hourglass Meadow. However, he warns her that "desires are never fulfilled nor quenched" and she will fail her journey just like "the rest of them".

    The second section is a large building consisting of grid-like green pathways with bowing mannequins appearing at every instance a path intersects. At the sides of the paths are pits with walls decorated with a black background and a blue eye-like pattern. The walls and inside of the building are gray.

    Ena enters this area after going through a door located in the Holy code ocean in Hourglass Meadow. There, she encounters a large rotating banana before suddenly being approached by Mariya and Gabo, two characters that reside inside of the Mannequin Expanse. Mariya asks for identification as she is given the Blood ID. Despite Mariya's anger, Ena tells the two they are living a lie, prompting the two to allow Ena to pass through a suddenly appearing doorway.

    Outside of the area are more winding green paths with large cat-shaped doorways. The sky is similar to a sunset and pillars surround the green trails while the exterior of the large building housing the Mannequins can also be seen. One of the cat-shaped doorways leads to the Desert.

19. #19Mannequins

    Keys: The Mannequins, The mannequins, Mannequins, mannequins

    The Mannequins are gray humanoid beings, specifically resembling artist's mannequins. They appear at the beginning of Temptation Stairway as well as in the Stairway Void, Hourglass Meadow, and Mannequin Expanse building.

    There is one specific Mannequin seen near the beginning of Temptation Stairway that has a different appearance than the other Mannequins seen in the episode. After Ena talks with the Merchant, this Mannequin absorbs The Great Runas. They wear a light blue dress and have black hair. They have a single orange eye on their face, though after absorbing Ena alongside The Great Runas, the eye becomes fully black.

    The Mannequins appear often throughout Temptation Stairway. They predominantly appear in the beginning of the episode in large crowds. The Mannequins can be found climbing the legs of The Great Runas, dancing together, and even climbing on top of each other in an attempt to reach The Great Runas. They seem to be capable of speech, though whatever they say sounds corrupted and garbled, as heard at the beginning of Temptation Stairway and during the Runas chase scene.

    The Mannequins also appear in other areas within The Great Runas's residence. They appear in the Mannequin Expanse, bowing down. Some corpses of Mannequins can also be found in the field and code sections of the Hourglass Meadow as well as in the Stairway Void before Ena enters the area containing Ulysses. A single dressed Mannequin that does not interact with Ena also appears in the Stairway Void.

20. #20Phindoll

    Keys: Phindoll, phindoll

    Phindoll is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway to interview Ena and prepare her to meet The Great Runas.

    Phindoll is a rosy pink, low-poly dolphin that appears as a guide to Ena. His eyes are dark and buttony with a small white shine. He is very geometrical, and one can see lines that define the angles on his model. He is always outlined by a thick white. Like many of the characters in the series, the texture of his skin is slightly noisy and pixelated. He emerges from what seems to be an orb of starry space orbited by two golden rings that are adorned by colorful, glowing eyes.

    Phindoll is laid back and playful, and he jokes around and make puns, even flirting with Ena. His personality is most likely based off of the stereotypical surfer dude attitude. He's not easily upset, and quickly calms down Ena after she begins expressing distress. Interestingly enough, he is the only character in the entire series to be genuinely concerned about Ena's mood change, and even changes her task due to her possibly endangering herself in the interview.

21. #21Volley

    Keys: Volley, volley

    Volley is a minor character that briefly appears in Temptation Stairway.

    Volley is a character that possesses a lavender body. They display a purple archetypal witch hat with the top of the hat shaped like a leafless tree with a magenta square-shaped pattern. They also wear a purple dress-like cloth that correlates with the design of their hat. Their hat and dress both appear to leak purple liquid in small drops. The top half of their face appears to be enveloped in shadow by their hat. They display a slightly frowning mouth and 2 spike-like details on the side of their head, presumably being their ears.

    Volley carries five orbs with them, four embedded into their arms, while carrying a green one using levitation. The orbs on their arms are colored red, cyan, yellow, blue, and green, from their right to left.

    The differences between the episode's design and concept art are relatively small. In Volley's concept art, they have visible bandages wrapped around their eyes and sport a pair of legs instead of lacking them like in the episode.

22. #22Merchant

    Keys: Merchant, merchant

    Merchant is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway. Like their name suggests, they are a merchant who sells treats.

    Merchant appears to be a humanoid in a black skintight suit. They don three red masks, two of which are on their hands. These masks have yellow-colored mouths, noses, cheeks, and eyeholes while also sporting black facial hair. They also don a magenta and yellow-striped cloak that goes over their shoulders.

    Before taking on their true appearance, they appear as a humanoid figure atop a unicycle. The figure has tan skin with a purple body and blue eyes, lacking any other facial features. They have a round head and body with skinny limbs that constantly juggle the Merchant's masks. The unicycle they ride has a brown seat with what appears to be a footrest or singular pedal.

    Merchant speaks Spanish with Mexican slang.

23. #23Brick Frog

    Keys: Brick Frog, brick frog

    Brick Frog is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway and watches the entrance of The Great Runas. They comfort Ena during her meltdown.

    Brick Frog resembles a standard frog rendered in 3D, having four black limbs and a black head with bulging eyes and an open mouth. They have a gray torso that is much more geometric than their limbs, being a rectangular prism with the texture of concrete. Distinctively, Brick Frog appears to be outlined in white all across their frame.

    Brick Frog demonstrates a very absent-minded character, to the point where they speak over Ena as she cries throughout the beginning of their conversation. It gets to the point where Brick Frog begins to kick Ena repeatedly, which seems to snap her back into her happy state. Once Ena begins her happier mantra, Brick Frog is much more interactive with her, mentioning it's "finally language [they] can spit at."

    They have a habit of repeating words, similar to Ulysses, and jumping around during their conversation with Ena, mentioning Ena's journey to climb The Great Runas. However, Brick Frog declines going up, saying that they would rather watch from where they are since climbing makes them itchy. In a more sadistic turn of events, Brick Frog also reveals another reason they are staying behind is that they like to watch all the Mannequin bodies falling.

24. #24Ulysses

    Keys: Ulysses, ulysses

    Ulysses is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway. They are the first character Ena interacts with inside the residence of The Great Runas, giving information to her while working under Runas.

    Ulysses is a humanoid-looking character with pale skin and dark gray hair. They have thick eyebrows, orange lips, and their eyes are always closed. Their body consists of simply a floating torso which lacks arms, though they still possess hands that float at a distance from where their arms would be.

    Ulysses wears a purple coat with thin yellow stripes covering their puffed sleeves, front, and waist section. They also wear a brown undercoat with an eyeball on the collar and three white buttons resembling eyes.

    Ulysses's hands sport yellow wrist cuffs with purple frills. They also wear gloves that change appearance depending on the type of voice Ulysses uses. In their default state, the gloves depict a blue sky with moving clouds. The other variants consist of Renaissance paintings, lines of green code, and a static-filled background with a black silhouette-like face. The lattermost variant is also capable of showing a full figure rather than simply a face.

    While Ulysses tends to be blunt and pessimistic, they can still give helpful advice and are quite informative. When they are speaking, they will usually repeat the last phrase or word said 3 or more times, as they cycle through their various voices/hand variants.

    Ulysses speaks in 5 distinct voices, shifting several times in the middle of nearly every sentence.

    Voice 1 is static-like and quiet such that it is nearly a whisper. It is marked on Ulysses's gloves by static and with black silhouettes of a face/figure(s) speaking for them, as the face silhouette moves its own mouth rather than Ulysses moving their mouth. Example: "...desires are never fulfilled..."

    Voice 2 is reminiscent of announcers at concerts or sports games and is the least filtered. This voice, like Voice 5, is marked by Ulysses's gloves having a blue sky-like appearance with moving clouds. Example: "B-b-but heed this warning,"

    Voice 3 is extremely similar to Voice 5 and could be just a variation of it, but has a more distorted, mocking tone and is higher in pitch. This voice is marked on Ulysses's gloves (if they are visible) by rapidly shifting artwork, reminiscent of Renaissance-era paintings. Example: "But it seems your g-g-greedy soul..."

    Voice 4 is jarringly loud and monotone and usually only interjects repetitions of single words and phrases, with only one exception where it speaks in rapid-fire binary (see Trivia). This voice is marked by a black background with green code on Ulysses's gloves and usually causes their body to glitch and spasm. Examples: "OVER." "WARNING"

    Voice 5 is neutral, smooth and deep with a synthetic filter over it. While speaking in this voice, Ulysses's gloves are blue and have moving clouds on them, and they have a generally calm tone. Example: "The celebration is..."

    Note that the first time Ulysses speaks of The Great Runas in Temptation Stairway, they repeat the name in all five voices in the order that they are mentioned above.

    Example: "You are bearing W-WITNESS to the incredulous residence of Our Great Runas-Great Runas-R-Runas-RUNAS-Runas."

25. #25Hourglass Dog

    Keys: Hourglass Dog,

    The Hourglass Dogs are a species, including a member of the same name who was sold at the auction Ena and Moony went to in Auction Day.

    The Hourglass Dogs appear as 3D rendered yellow dogs that are generally stylized in low resolution. They have short, stubby legs and tails; two ellipse eyes jutting out of their heads; and a tongue hanging from their mouths with black outlining a crease in the center.

    One of them had been seemingly inserted into an hourglass and was planned to be auctioned. It is unknown whether the dog and the hourglass are one object or two individual objects. In the Hourglass Meadow, they are tended to by The Shepherd in the Dog Conservatory and are seen flying around and playing. One is even held by The Shepherd.

26. #26The Shepherd

    Keys: Shepherd, shepherd

    The Shepherd is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway. She takes care of the Hourglass Dogs in the Hourglass Meadow, also serving as a guardian that blocks the way for meetings with The Great Runas.

    The Shepherd appears to be feline to an extent. She has a black humanoid body with a skinny neck, legs, and arms. Her head sports a pair of black ears that curve upward like horns. Her two-toned face resembles a mask, having red on her left side and white on her right (with a small section of red on her white side's cheek). The red side sports the outline for her mouth and has an oblong light-yellow cat eye while the white side has a much more detailed eye along with an eyebrow. Her red side and red cheek present on her white side also have angular whiskers. She also sports hair that starts as a brown streak on the top of her head and spreads into two pigtails.

    The Shepherd's outfit consists of a brown button-up vest with red buttons, exposing her midriff, and a matching long brown skirt tied with a red belt. She also wears brown sandals and holds a shepherd's crook.

    The Shepherd appears blunt and exhausted at first, acting aggressive and dismissing what Ena has to say. She seems to hold significance to The Great Runas, insisting it doesn't give out horoscopes anymore and shouldn't be disturbed by "simpletons". She is thus insightful, and does seem to warm up in some way, as she's quickly swooned by the Turrón that Ena gives her. After receiving the treat, she gives a Blood ID in return and directs Ena towards the Mannequin Expanse not far ahead before dozing off.

27. #27Mariya

    Keys: Mariya, mariya

    Mariya is a minor character that appears in Temptation Stairway, serving as a guardian alongside Gabo.

    Mariya resembles a disembodied head consisting of many geometric shapes colored aqua, cobalt, dark purple, and black. Her eyes and mouth are also geometric shapes, both black. Her pupils are white dots, and Her face seems to be constantly uneasy. She wears a blue veil on her head with a gray clip. She is seen carried on a desaturated yellow platter held by Gabo, who always accompanies her.

    Although Mariya does not have limbs, she has the ability to jump and roll around, as shown when she complains about Ena's borrowed Blood ID.

    Mariya has a rather brash, rude, and complaintive personality. As soon as the two first met, she taunts Ena for looking at a banana, going as far as to call her a disgusting banana worshipper. When Ena gave her Blood ID from The Shepherd to Mariya, she claimed that it didn't taste anything like Ena, whilst jumping up and down. However, she is not entirely disagreeable, finally giving Ena the directions to pass, only after Ena exclaims to her that they are all living a lie.

    Mariya seems to take first impressions seriously. Even though she and Ena conversed briefly, she mentions that she doesn't like Ena before they part ways.

28. #28Keeper

    Keys: Keeper, keeper

    Keeper is a minor character that appears in Extinction Party, serving as a guardian in the Overworld.

    Keeper at first appears as the head of a broken Greek statue atop an amorphous, red blob with a hand pattern. However, they are also able to form their body into a more structured one, appearing with a black chest, blue and yellow hoofed legs, and a red and green back atop which two round objects lie.

29. #29Merci

    Keys: Merci, merci

    Merci is a minor character that appears in Extinction Party. She inhabits the Maze, and is familiar with the dangers surrounding it.

    Merci is a mime-themed humanoid. She wears a black and white striped shirt with long dark gray sleeves, pants, black boots and beret. She also dons a mask with three red dots and a smiling face with a red mouth, which can either resemble a smile or lips. Over her hands are two white hand puppets with wedge-shaped eyes, which can shift to an angry expression, and diamond-shaped mouths, which are shown on one occasion to grow triangle-shaped teeth when angry. She also carries a long dark red pole over her shoulders.

    Merci has quite the aggressive personality. She seems to frequently swear in Korean and was shown stomping her feet when she seemed frustrated. However, there also may be an endearing side to her, as she sounded pleasantly surprised when she met Ena again in the Maze. Her aggressive tone while giving Ena advice to run away might be her way of showing worry for Ena.

30. #30Rubik

    Keys: Rubik, rubik

    Rubik is a minor character that appears in Extinction Party. They are briefly seen while Ena traverses the Maze, but they don't want company.

    Rubik's appearance seems to resemble a hollow dodecahedron with holes on each face, colored lime, orange, dark green, red, and dark yellow. Their lower half consists of pink and purple veins connecting to a heptagon, this time faceted with cyan, purple, white, and pink colors; it also pulsates.

    When Rubik talks to Ena, their dodecahedron-shaped head turns into a Rubik's cube and shows their actual "head," revealing a human-like face with shaded skin creases. The side with their face is red, and their right side is green.

    Rubik is a stern loner. Upon interaction, they dismiss Ena for disturbing their privacy, telling her to "fly away", to which she complies.

31. #31Robert

    Keys: Robert, robert

    Robert is a minor character that appears in Extinction Party. They are an inhabitant of the Maze who is familiar with the shameful things happening there, warning Ena about them.

    Robert appears to be encased in a green dome-like UFO with circular windows and three orange pads on the bottom, resembling Japanese pop-culture depictions of UFOs. This UFO floats above the grounds of the Maze, simply spinning in place. Upon interaction, they pop up from a hole in the top of the UFO, resembling a masculine figure with a blue long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, a belt, a pair of glasses, and a plain blue tie tied around their head. They also don a stereotypical elder-man hairstyle with hair only near the ears.

32. #32Moony

    Keys: Moony, moony

    Moony initially takes on the appearance of a cartoonish moon. Her physical body shape is that of a floating light-gray sphere with the right-hand side of her face colored white in a similar fashion to a waning crescent. She has a single squinted eye on the left side of her head, as well as jet-black hair that drapes down into a triangular point behind her face while also having a rectangular eyebrow. She also has a fairly large, cubical hole on the left side of her body in which various different objects can be seen protruding out of that consistently change with each episode in the series (in which case the hole closes to secure the item).

    Her final, currently-known change in appearance makes its debut after she makes a wish to The Great Runas, in which she asks to be thinner. A few moments after having made the requisition, her body splits in half from the top down, and she re-emerges from the shell as a humanoid entity with no clothes, hair, or facial features, excluding one eye on her left side and a two-toned body colored white on her left side and dim gray on her right side. This form was later confirmed to be called her "Primal" form, as indicated by a piece of merchandise. Though she somehow went back to her normal form between Temptation Stairway and Power of Potluck.

    Moony oftentimes comes off as a dramatic, comedic-driven, somewhat presumptuous, and overall highly opinionated individual.

    She has the tendency to get frequently annoyed or irritable during certain situations, with her disdain usually directed towards Ena. Examples of this behavior can be seen numerous times throughout the series, such as at the beginning of Auction Day, in which she tells Ena to hurry up in her concern to find a spot, or her annoyance when she suspects that Ena may be drunk in Extinction Party. She also seems to be somewhat judgmental when referring to other groups of people, having previously called large gatherings of folks "ugly" on one occasion and "idiots" on another.

    Moony appears to be a fan of making puns and jokes, albeit most of them nonsensical and illogical in nature. She seems to be fairly confident in her quips as well, as demonstrated by her responses to when Ena expressed concern regarding the meaning of some of her jokes. She also seems to be a fan of skateboarding, as she is shown to own a skateboard and perform a trick with it at the beginning of Temptation Stairway and has also appeared with the same skateboard in different pieces of merchandise, both in her normal and Primal forms. This also shows that she does not need limbs to ride a skateboard.

    Moony has also displayed an incredibly dismissive attitude towards Ena's drastic mood swings, either becoming visibly irritated when they occur or disregarding them entirely. The reasoning for this is unspecified; although, one of the most common speculations amongst fans is that she may have possibly gotten desensitized over prolonged exposure to such behavior. However, it is also worth noting that this may also simply just be a result of the nature of the show, and her actions in-turn don't actually have any particular significance or ulterior meaning behind them. She also seems to act dismissive towards Ena in general, as she mispronounces Ena's name multiple times throughout the series, most notably in Temptation Stairway where she is shown to stumble on Ena's name for a brief moment.

    She may also be somewhat insecure in regards to her physical appearance, this possibly being reflected in the wish she made to The Great Runas in which she states that she wanted to be skinnier. This is also possibly shown when she reunites with Ena at the end of Temptation Stairway, quickly retorting against her when she is asked what her wish was in fear of being made fun of by Ena.
