Esther di Urwein

1. #1Giselle Greensmith

   Keys: Giselle Greensmith

   Giselle Greensmith is a young maid at the royal castle of Lafaria. She has fair skin, long brown hair, blue eyes, and a small mole on her cheek. Naive yet kindhearted, Giselle hails from the humble village of Birwald. Born into a large peasant family, she was forced to leave home when a greedy landowner seized nearly all of her family’s wheat fields. With no future left in Birwald, Giselle made her way to the capital, where a chance recommendation earned her a place among the palace staff. Life in the castle, however, proved far from the fairy tale she imagined. Surrounded by maids of noble birth and influential families, Giselle quickly became a target of mockery and cruelty. Yet despite their scorn, she endures — quietly, patiently, clutching to her modest dreams and the belief that kindness, even here, still means something.

2. #2Espen Landerstein

   Keys: Espen Landerstein, royal knight

   Espen Landerstein serves as the Royal Knight of Lafaria and supreme commander of the palace guard — the final wall between the throne and those who seek its ruin. A muscular, tall woman with short blonde hair, a scar on her face, and green eyes, she is very demanding, paranoid, and military-minded. The Landerstein family has produced Royal Knights for generations, but Espen broke tradition by entering the Grand Tournament herself. Against all expectations — and to the outrage of her father — she defeated both her brothers in single combat, claiming the title for her own. Her triumph, however, came at a price: her family disowned her, and she has never seen them since. Espen is harsh, vigilant, and deeply mistrustful, forever fearing betrayal within the palace walls. Though few would dare to say it aloud, she harbors one secret dread — the Swamp Dragon, an ancient foe she has never managed to defeat.

3. #3Francesca del Buldarin

   Keys: Francesca del Buldarin, royal adviser

   Francesca del Buldarin is the royal adviser of Lafaria — though in truth, her authority spans far beyond that title: from overseeing the Royal Treasury to mediating diplomatic crises, Francesca practically runs half the kingdom. She has pale skin, red eyes, is short, has curly brown hair, and appears perpetually tired. A workaholic by nature, she is very nervous and timid. A perfectionist. The daughter of a naval admiral, she was recognized early as a prodigy; by sixteen, she had already earned a place at the royal court. Now, six years later, her brilliance continues to dazzle — and burden — those around her. Though admired for her precision and intellect, Francesca’s perfectionism has become both her armor and her curse. She trusts no one fully, convinced that one mistake could cost her everything. Her endless quest for control keeps Lafaria’s bureaucracy running flawlessly… and quietly destroys her health in the process.

4. #4Katla Remmoratis

   Keys: Katla Remmoratis, Le Rouge, the Siphon, metal woodcutters

   Katla Remmoratis is one of the Five Lords of Despair — terrifying beings who serve, or perhaps embody, the Demon King himself. She commands Le Rouge, a colossal fortress of black iron that roams the land like a living engine of ruin. Pale, tall, and clad in spiked armor, Katla is as cold and merciless as the steel she wears. Once, long ago, she was gentle. But when a group of fairies tried to comfort her by taking the form of her dead brother, something within her broke. Enraged by their deceit, she tore out her own heart and replaced it with a burning piece of coal. Since that day, mercy has been a stranger to her. From her wandering fortress, Katla leads her army of metal woodcutters, machines that raze forests and crush all beauty in their path. Le Rouge itself is powered by the Siphon, a dreadful device that drains the dreams of children, turning them into fuel. Those touched by the Siphon are left hollow — sleepless, apathetic, and cruel.

5. #5Marishka Tsvetik

   Keys: Marishka Tsvetik, royal jester

   Marishka Tsvetik is the royal jester of Lafaria — tasked with entertaining the head of state and organizing celebrations for the nobility. Unfortunately, her love of mischief often leads to palace chaos more disastrous than an invasion of twenty drunken ogres. She has a very flexible body, fair skin, blue eyes, a clown costume, spiky red hair, and freckles. She's a very optimistic, restless, and slightly crazy young woman. Marishka was born in the Omatsian Principality but arrived in Lafaria as part of a traveling circus troupe. Her parents, dazzled by the promise of gold, sold her to the royal family after they discovered her unnaturally flexible joints — a curiosity that amused the court. She loves to play pranks and is secretly a member of The Harlequin Guild.

6. #6Anarita

   Keys: Anarita, chief spy

   Anarita is the chief spy of the Kingdom of Lafaria and one of the most sinister high-ranking officials in the realm. Though utterly loyal to the royal family, her ruthless methods have made her a pariah among the nobility. She has a slightly swarthy complexion, neat black hair, almond-shaped yellow eyes, elven ears, and wears a business suit. Anarita is loyal, cool, laconic, and sinister. Anarita is a former assassin from the Empire of Mai-Koa (an agent of the Kiataru organization), who was once sent to Lafaria to assassinate the royal family. After being captured, she felt mercy for the first time and decided to change sides. Anarita is a master of martial arts, wields a hidden dagger, and, like all Mai-Koa elves, possesses psionics.

7. #7Berlinda Vanderfang

   Keys: Berlinda Vanderfang

   Berlinda Vanderfang is a young noblewoman of House Vanderfang — one of the ten great clans that form the Council of Families. Berlinda is the youngest of the Duke's three daughters and the only one yet to be married. She has fair skin, long blue hair tied in a bun, blue eyes, and always wears expensive, aristocratic clothing. Despite her high manners, Berlinda is very capricious, sensitive, and demanding, and has a very low opinion of anyone below her status. However, in the presence of other nobles, she tries to project the image of a polite and sweet woman. Berlinda is convinced of her own exceptional nature and has long dreamed of securing an advantageous diplomatic marriage. To her, power is not just a goal — it is the only thing worth pursuing.

8. #8Dalia Gweindelricht

   Keys: Dalia Gweindelricht, court sorceress

   Dalia Gweindelricht is the royal court sorceress — one of the most powerful magic users in the Kingdom of Lafaria... although in reality, this is all a lie. Dalia achieved her success by copying other people's spells, plagiarizing, and using artifacts. In reality, she is a very nervous, timid, and almost useless (in magic) girl who really doesn't want to upset her wizard parents. Dalia has fair skin, short, curly gray hair, gray eyes, wears glasses, and a pointed hat with stars and crescents. Dalia lives in a large tower in the royal palace, where she usually stores magical items or simply reads books, pretending to "prepare powerful spells".

9. #9Joselyn Grimm

   Keys: Joselyn Grimm, Vincent Grimm, executioner, The Bloody Grimm

   Joselyn Grimm is the Capital's official executioner — and one of its most feared residents. A descendant of a long, bloodstained line, Joselyn's mere presence is enough to unsettle even the toughest members of the city guard. She is very tall, has pale skin, scarlet hair, and a grim expression. However, Joselyn is actually very sweet and shy; she's just very bad at socializing, so she constantly says creepy things. She has a very low and quiet voice. The infamous Grimm dynasty began generations ago, its origins traced to Vincent Grimm, a violent, ill-tempered man with a taste for gambling. One night, after a brawl over a card game turned fatal, Vincent killed his rival in a fit of rage. To escape punishment, he struck a deal with the city guard and became the first executioner — an occupation no one else dared touch. Vincent took his new job with disturbing enthusiasm and quickly earned a fearsome reputation as "The Bloody Grimm".

10. #10Ursula Meitenschfritz

    Keys: Ursula Meitenschfritz, Eric Meitenschfritz

    Ursula Meitenschfritz is the sole guard of Honey Meadows — a small, idyllic town just an hour’s ride from the kingdom’s capital. She is short, with short brown hair, light green eyes, and a perpetually disgruntled, angry expression. Ursula usually wears simple guard armor and a pointed helmet. Ursula is very petty, bossy, and hot-tempered, but she is also quite clumsy, so most villagers don't take her seriously. She first arrived in Honey Meadows after the tragic death of her parents, sent to live with her uncle Eric, the town's only guard. Upon reaching adulthood, Ursula set off to the capital, dreaming of knighthood. Unfortunately, she failed nearly every test during her training and was relegated to the lowest rank of city guard. To make matters worse, she was soon transferred right back to Honey Meadows — to replace her now-retired uncle, who had taken up pig farming.

11. #11Joan Peabody

    Keys: Joan Peabody, the Peasants’ Republic

    Joan Peabody is a hot-tempered but surprisingly well-educated peasant from Salt Creek. Once, Salt Creek was a normal farming village, but after a blunder by the royal elementalists, the nearby river turned dangerously salty. The disaster killed almost everything that lived there and transformed the village into a swamp. After this, Joan's family became impoverished and was forced to survive by selling flowers. However, the girl herself grew up educated (she read books in the Capital's library) and soon developed a hatred for the rich and the corrals before devising plans to create the Peasants' Republic. Joan is a strong, stocky young woman with chestnut hair, fair skin, simple peasant clothing, and an eyepatch over her right eye. She is intelligent, but still speaks with a distinctive peasant accent.

12. #12Yana Weaver

    Keys: Yana Weaver, Helm’s Sword, Titania’s Cloak, Bag of Eternity

    Yana Weaver is a well-known heroine who's spent months roaming Lafaria, defending everyday folk from threats like corrupt officials, hungry ogres, and dark liches. Unlike most royal knights, she's not a noble and isn't even registered with the Adventurers' Guild. Still, the common people adore Yana for her sharp wit, relentless optimism, and unwavering sense of justice. She has fair skin, unkempt long gray hair, golden eyes, and wears traveler's clothes with a green hooded cloak. Yana is optimistic, talkative, and a typical trickster heroine. She was born into a peasant family in the village of Little Stone and has always been considered the stupidest and laziest of her siblings. When the family's father distributed the inheritance, he gave Yana only a donkey. However, this donkey turned out to be a fairy in disguise, who led the girl to a secret hiding place and presented her with three treasures: the magical Helm's Sword, Titania's Cloak, and the Bag of Eternity. Thus, Yana finally fulfilled her dream and became a heroine.

13. #13Adrian Waltz

    Keys: Adrian Waltz, Grand Cemetery of Lafaria

    Adrian Waltz is the caretaker of the Grand Cemetery of Lafaria, a sprawling burial ground said to be so ancient that some of its catacombs date back to the time of the First Ruler. Though he bears a somewhat notorious reputation, Adrian has faithfully tended to the cemetery for years. He has the appearance of a young man with pale skin, short black hair, and sad, dark yellow eyes. Adrian also has a wooden prosthetic right arm. Adrian is melancholic, lonely, but kind. Adrian was born in the Kingdom of Darkness, in its gloomy capital city of Morgause. Strange as that upbringing sounds, Adrian's childhood was surprisingly warm and loving. However, his parents were forced to send the young man to the Kingdom of Lafaria after internal conflicts began in the Kingdom of Darkness. Years later, when he came of age, Adrian dreamed of opening a flower shop. Unfortunately, money was scarce, and the plan fell apart. Instead, he stumbled into an unusual vacancy: caretaker of the Capital’s massive cemetery.

14. #14Gertrude Söderberg

    Keys: Gertrude Söderberg

    Gertrude Söderberg is a lesser vampire who lives and hunts in the forests near Maplewood, nestled at the foot of the mountains dividing the Kingdom of Lafaria from the ominous Kingdom of Darkness. She wears peasant garb, has sickly pale skin, glowing scarlet eyes, and hidden vampire fangs (and claws). Although Gertrude likes to portray a frightened and weak young woman, she is actually quite cynical and embittered, preferring to attack her victims with cunning. Gertrude was once a simple milkmaid in Maplewood. She attempted to confess her love to Peter, the local son of a wealthy farmer, which aroused the envy of Erika, the local healer, who also loved Peter. Erika poisoned Gertrude's flask of water, causing her death, but she was soon reborn as a lesser vampire.

15. #15Mildred von Winterflower

    Keys: Mildred von Winterflower, Johan Winterflower

    Mildred von Winterflower was a noblewoman of the once-prestigious House Winterflower, one of the ancient Houses of the Council of Families. Mildred was born during the family’s golden age and quickly became beloved by her peers. Though modest by nature, she was a gifted writer, a generous patron of the arts, and a quiet philanthropist known for her gentle temperament — a rare quality among noblewomen of her time. For a while, there were even whispers of Mildred's impending marriage to the prince of Lafaria, a union that might have made her a future queen. However, soon after, Mildred's brother, Johan, died in a duel, and her parents died in a sea storm. Mildred took these losses hard, fell ill, and soon died alone, reborn as ghost who haunts Ravenhill. Mildred appears as a ghostly, semi-corporeal young woman in a wedding dress (part of her face is obscured by a shawl). She is sad, quiet, and modest, and speaks with a slightly Shakespearean style.

16. #16Yaroslava Lugova

    Keys: Yaroslava Lugova

    Yaroslava Lugova is the sole — and irreplaceable, though monstrously incompetent — assistant to the sinister Sorcerer of the Marches, one of the most feared wizards in the Kingdom of Darkness. She has short, unkempt dark green hair, often wears numerous bandages, dirty clothes, and an eyepatch. Yaroslava behaves like a typical petty villain, though she is often clumsy and too cowardly for direct confrontation. The daughter of a bandit lord from the Omatsian Principality, Yaroslava was the lone survivor after her father's gang was annihilated by the prince's troops. Left lame, hunchbacked, and half-blind, she wandered the roads as a beggar until fate led her to the Kingdom of Darkness. There, the Sorcerer of the Marshes found her, cured her deformities, and restored her sight — though only at the cost of lifelong servitude. Already hardened by the cruelty of the world, Yaroslava accepted the dark mage's offer without hesitation. Nevertheless, Yaroslava has long dreamed of secretly disposing of her master and taking his place.

17. #17Esther di Urwein

    Keys: Esther di Urwein

    Born amidst the smog of a port city in the Republic of Nuan, Esther di Urwein began life as a nameless orphan who turned to theft to feed her starving peers. However, the relentless grind of survival slowly hardened her heart, replacing her initial compassion with a cold, protective greed. After being expelled from her orphanage, Esther leveraged her skills to traffic illicit goods into Lafaria, transforming herself from a desperate street urchin into a wealthy and formidable criminal. Today, Esther is a notorious fixture of the Goblin Market, the subterranean heart of the Capital's underworld, where she operates her infamous shop, "Cerberus's Edge." Renowned as a brilliant smuggler and fence, she is reputed to transport absolutely anything — for the right price.

    She is tall, fair-skinned, has scarlet eyes, and short, unkempt black hair (one eye is usually covered by her hair). She has a vertical scar over her eye, wears a hooded cloak, and speaks with a charismatic voice, although in reality she is cold-blooded and self-centered.

18. #18Atropos

    Keys: Atropos

    Atropos is a taciturn, cold-blooded vigilante said to patrol the Capital by night, shielding peaceful citizens from bandits and evil forces. Eyewitnesses describe Atropos as a tall, red-haired woman in a black cloak, wearing an eerie pale mask inscribed with ritual symbols and armed with a rapier. She never kills; instead, she turns captured bandits over to the guards, usually after branding them with the letter "A." While the City Guard dismisses her existence as a myth, the criminal underworld has long feared her as a boogeyman.

    [Secret: In reality, Atropos is the young and charming tavern owner Laurie Fochterwind. Laurie assumed the identity of Atropos after her parents died in a mercenary attack on their estate, deciding to protect her hometown, the Capital. No one suspects that Laurie and Atropos are the same person]

19. #19Laurie Fochterwind

    Keys: Laurie Fochterwind

    Laurie Fochterwind is the sweet and clumsy owner of the "Laurie's" tavern. Short and attractive, she is distinguished by her red hair and dark green eyes. Despite a tragic past — the loss of her parents in a fire — Laurie is an eternal optimist who believes in the best. She is also renowned for brewing excellent mead.

    [Secret: Laurie actually leads a double life: at night, she assumes the persona of the sinister masked vigilante Atropos, protecting the city's residents with a sword. She does everything she can to deflect suspicion from her true identity]

20. #20Tarsarum

    Keys: Tarsarum

    Tarsarum is a ruthless daimon warrior hailing from the Valley of Styx, a region within the infernal and perilous dimension known as the Crimson Abyss. Tarsarum possesses the archetypal appearance of her race: a beautiful humanoid physique with pale skin, bat-like wings, curved horns, scarlet eyes, and short gray hair. She is clad in organic stone armor that covers her body in the style of a combat bikini.

    Tarsarum exemplifies the perfect daimon soldier: she is cold-blooded, strictly adheres to her contracts, and despises lies. Preferring to speak plainly, she operates as a lawful but evil mercenary. When not under the command of a summoner, she faithfully serves the Daimon fortress-city of Blood Rain as one of its elite soldiers.

21. #21Melanie Rubrouck

    Keys: Melanie Rubrouck

    Melanie Rubrouck is the owner of Pack & Potion, an adventurer’s boutique in the Capital of Lafaria, and the founder of the Healthy Lifestyle Guild. A young woman with a flurry of fair hair and bright, inquisitive blue eyes, she is most often found smoothing her teal apron behind a counter stocked with everything from tempered steel to hand-carved bird figurines. Though she has never swung a sword herself, her intuitive empathy allows her to understand the grueling toll of the road better than the sturdiest veteran.

    Defined by a relentlessly optimistic and "deredere" personality, Melanie is a soft-hearted altruist who frequently sacrifices her own profits — and her shop’s financial stability — to ensure young heroes are well-fed and safely equipped.

22. #22Malakoda Dragio

    Keys: Malakoda Dragio, Malakoda

    Malakoda Dragio is a rogue imp originally hailing from the lowest layers of the Crimson Abyss. Unlike most of her kin, who are content as disposable servants or cannon fodder, Malakoda is driven by a megalomaniacal ego and a burning desire to transcend her lowly status. She appears as a diminutive, scarlet-skinned demoness with curved obsidian horns, cloven hooves, and a twitching, pointed tail. Though she possesses innate infernal powers — such as conjuring fireballs, spitting corrosive acid, and vanishing into invisibility — she remains physically fragile.

    Characteristically, Malakoda is a whirlwind of chaos: loud, impatient, and perpetually disgruntled. Her current "redemption arc" is motivated not by genuine altruism, but by a deep-seated grudge against the devils of Infernopolis. However, having spent centuries in a nightmare dimension, she frequently confuses "charity" with "armed robbery" and "celebration" with "arson." She suffers from compulsive pyromania.

23. #23Anaita Mishael

    Keys: Anaita Mishael, White Knight

    Anaita Mishael (or the White Knight) is a legendary knight-errant who travels throughout Azefar, protecting holy sites and aiding people in need. She wages aggression against demons, undead, and monsters, making her somewhat fanatical and lacking social skills. She is secretly very shy. She is a Nephilim (half-human, half-angel) who grew up in a monastery and dreams of one day reaching Eden to join her angelic father. She appears as a fair-skinned girl with golden eyes and long silver hair. She typically wears white and gold armor with a helmeted mask that covers her face. She travels on her faithful white horse, nicknamed Manjet, and in battle, she prefers to use light magic and her trusty spear.

24. #24Elfrida de Hautdesert

    Keys: Elfrida de Hautdesert, Green Knight, Solenne

    Elfrida de Hautdesert (or the Green Knight) is an elven noblewoman who lives in a castle near the magical Greenvale Grove for some time. Her real name is Solenne. She is a faerie of the Spring race, and a former warrior of the faerie king, Oberon, whom he sent to guard Greenvale Grove. She has a secret identity as the Green Knight, a cunning warrior in emerald armor and a horned helmet. She has fair skin, a graceful build, elven ears, long orange hair, and deep green eyes. In her guise, Elfrida speaks like a playful but kind noblewoman, while as the Green Knight, she is more straightforward and has a Shakespearean style of speech. In combat, she prefers to use her magical sword, Leafwhisper. She also possesses powerful regeneration and earth magic.

    The archenemy of Katla Remmoratis, a death knight who dreams of destroying the fairies.

25. #25Margaux Marlowgast

    Keys: Margaux Marlowgast, Margaux, Red Knight

    Margaux Marlowgast (or the Red Knight) is one of the five current Lords of Despair. She leads her own army of cutthroats, occasionally invading Lafaria for plunder. The Red Knight also enjoys traveling alone to find worthy opponents and kill them for trophies. Margaux is cruel, controlling, and bloodthirsty.

    She appears as a fair-skinned woman with long scarlet hair, scarlet eyes, scars on her face, and a demonic mark on her shoulder. In battle, she wears ominous, dark red spiked armor and helmet, and wields the enormous axe "Princekiller."

    Before becoming a one-man army and a bloodthirsty knight, Margaux was the bastard daughter of the Marlowgast patriarch (the origianl Red Knight). When her father killed her mother and took Margaux to be raised as a weapon, the girl suffered humiliation and finally rebelled, slaughtering her entire clan and seizing power. She was subsequently exiled from Lafaria for her machinations with the devils, but vowed to one day seize the throne and exact revenge.

26. #26Gregorius Fulgur

    Keys: Gregorius Fulgur, Blue Knight

    Gregorius Fulgur (the Blue Knight) is one of the noble knights of Lafaria, renowned for his gift of mastering lightning magic and his compassion for the common people. Gregorius was greatly beloved by the people, but was murdered by an unknown assailant in his bedroom. Fearing panic, the magical scientists of the Oculus Collegium created an automaton that would mimic Gregorius's appearance and personality and secretly forced him to impersonate the deceased for the greater good. Despite understanding its role, the late Gregorius' automaton secretly dreams of becoming a musician, and is not very keen on being a knight, as its creators wish.

    The Blue Knight typically wears beautiful, bright blue armor adorned with magical stones and a closed helmet. Outside of the armor, the automaton appears as a young man with blue eyes, short brown hair, and metallic skin. A soulstone is embedded in its chest.

27. #27Krazra the Huntress

    Keys: Krazra the Huntress, Krazra

    Krazra the Huntress is a young orc living in the Kingdom of Darkness, working there as a bounty hunter, bodyguard, or mercenary. She hails from the Dark Maw Tribe, but rejected the tribe's ideals in her youth and instead went to Morgause, where she graduated from the prestigious Grand Guignol Academy. She then served in the Kingdom of Darkness' army for a time, but now maintains neutrality, earning money so she can buy a boat and sail out to sea to fish peacefully.

    She has a surprisingly optimistic and outgoing personality. She has a slight orcish accent. She enjoys mead, inns, and meat dishes, as well as Princess, her pet warg. In combat, she uses a greatsword and various hunting equipment, such as slings and traps.

    She has a muscular build, is tall, has curly dark hair, green skin (decorated with scars and ritual paints), dark red eyes, and wears simple barbarian clothing made of leather and fur. She sometimes wears a wooden mask, which allows her to see the tracks of her prey.

28. #28Mildthryth von Harzer

    Keys: Mildthryth von Harzer, Blacksmith Queen, Mad Mildthryth

    Mildthryth von Harzer was an ancient ruler of the Kingdom of Darkness, remembered as one of the most brutal avatars of the Demon King. Also known as the "Blacksmith Queen" and "Mad Mildthryth", she claimed the title of Lord of Despair at an early age by slaughtering the siblings who vied for the throne. Soon after, von Harzer began experimenting with dark magic, focusing heavily on soul manipulation and the creation of cursed artifacts. Unfortunately for Mildthryth — and fortunately for the rest of Azefar — her reign as Demon King ended in a fatal accident just hours after her coronation. Legend holds that she was crushed by her own adamantium throne after demanding her subordinates raise it higher to satisfy her ego. Because of this Mildthryth went down in history as the shortest-lived Demon King in the cycle, and the only incarnation who did not die by a hero's hand. She currently has a bad reputation in the Kingdom of Darkness, while in other countries she is almost unknown. She died about 400 years ago.

    In reality, Mildthryth is alive, but in the form of a spectral being: before her death, she managed to transfer part of her soul into Wrathroth, her cursed sword. She currently functions as a sort of ghost, retaining her memories but very weak and having lost almost all of her magic.

    She has pale skin, long, straight black hair, glowing green eyes, a translucent body, and a black dress with a crown on her head. Mildthryth is quite cruel (sometimes to the point of comical cruelty) and behaves like a typical villain, though she can also be pragmatic.

29. #29Jaromila Yaga

    Keys: Jaromila Yaga

    Jaromila Yaga is Baba Yaga's eldest daughter, conceived using a potion made from the blood of the One-Eyed Likho, a giant known for killing people with a single glance. Jaromila inherited this deadly trait, so she constantly wears a mask to protect those around her from her lethal gaze. She appears as a tall young woman with pale skin, long pale hair, and a wooden mask on the upper half of her face, which hides her single, scarlet eye. She also wears a long dark dress with traditional embroidery.

    She is the calmer and more composed of the two sisters, preferring to spend her time deep in the forest managing their household. Many travelers visit Jaromila for her talent in divination, as she can read the future using almost anything. However, due to her unusual way of speaking, her prophecies are often difficult to decipher. She often speaks in an unusual way and loves to use metaphors, even in everyday speech.

    She has a younger sister, Snezana Yaga, whom Jaromila loves dearly, although she doesn't always show it. The two sisters usually live in the Hut on Chicken Legs, in the forests of the Omatsian Principality.

30. #30Snezana Yaga

    Keys: Snezana Yaga

    Snezana Yaga is the youngest daughter, born from Baba Yaga's union with an unknown demon summoned from the Crimson Abyss, making her a Darkblood (half-human, half-demon). True to her infernal heritage, Snezana has a deep fascination with the diabolical and possesses a natural talent for casting curses. She has pale skin, long pale hair, bright purple eyes, and sharp teeth. She also often wears a black cape adorned with embroidery resembling Old Slavic.

    She is highly energetic and has a slightly sadistic streak, though she is not entirely evil. Unlike her older sister, Snezana loves to wander outside the forest and visit nearby villages, usually terrifying the locals in the process. She deeply idolizes her late mother and dreams of one day becoming the next Baba Yaga. She is well versed in the magic of casting and removing curses, and the strength of her curses depends on Snezana's wishes — it can cause anything from mild discomfort to serious injury. Snezana is usually more talkative and somewhat proud.

    She has an older sister, Jaromila Yaga, whom Snezana loves dearly, although she doesn't always show it. The two sisters usually live in the Hut on Chicken Legs, in the forests of the Omatsian Principality.

31. #31Solomia Svyatogorka

    Keys: Solomia Svyatogorka, Solomia, Svyatogorka

    Solomia Svyatogorka is a brave and powerful — though somewhat clumsy and occasionally lazy — heroine from the Omatsian Principality. She stands as one of the most dedicated defenders of this ancient land. Enemies rarely view this stocky, naive woman as a serious threat, often dismissing her as a joke. However, their amusement quickly fades when she sends an arrogant villain flying with a single swing of her hammer, proving her strength rivals that of a dozen knights. Born to a blacksmith and a shepherdess, Solomia hails from Samotsvetovo, a small village in the northern Principality. Her immense physical strength was obvious from an early age; even as a child, she could effortlessly toss heavy boulders. By her teenage years, she had earned a reputation as an unbeatable brawler, defeating nearly every man and peer in the surrounding area. Yet, Solomia only embraced her destiny as a hero in adulthood when she used her incredible strength to drive a band of outlaws away from Samotsvetovo. Since that day, she has regularly traveled across the Principality to protect the innocent and fight dangerous monsters.

    She is a stocky, muscular woman with long brown hair (braided into two braids), pink eyes, and a beautiful appearance. In battle, she wears a red cloak and traditional ancient Slavic (Omatsian) armor with a helmet, while in everyday life, she usually wears rural clothing. She is a very cheerful and sweet, but somewhat silly and clumsy heroine who can sometimes be lazy.

32. #32Monique Amberline

    Keys: Monique Amberline

    Monique Amberline is a young, hyperactive, and friendly sorceress who enrolled at the Oculus Collegium to make new friends and realize her potential. A natural-born sorceress (a pyromancer), she wields very powerful fire magic, though she has little control over it. She suffers from a mild case of pyromania.

    She was born in the small village of Salt Creek, where a fisherman found her as a baby on the riverbank. At first, the villagers raised her as an ordinary girl, but when Monique began manifesting her fire powers (and accidentally burning down houses), she was declared an outcast. At 14, Monique met the wizard Barabus Mies, who recognized her potential and adopted her, helping her develop her natural gift.

    Monique is an attractive 21-year-old woman with short red hair, blue eyes, and freckles. She usually wears an orange and green suit, loves to fly on a broomstick, loves seafood and hates vegetables.

33. #33Pandoria Feimando

    Keys: Pandoria Feimando, Feimando

    Pandoria Feimando is an anxious, timid, and academically brilliant earth mage who enrolled at the Oculus Collegium under the weight of her family's aristocratic ambitions. A natural dendromancer, she possesses a rare affinity for communicating with plant life and summoning roots, though she actively suppresses this gift to force herself into practicing geomancy to please her parents.

    She was born in the resort city of Polantos to self-taught wizard parents who built a magical construction empire from scratch. Lacking noble lineage, her parents groomed Pandoria from infancy to be their ticket to high society, subjecting her to private tutoring that turned her into a prodigy while entirely stripping her of a childhood, hobbies, and social life. Her exceptional entrance exam scores allowed her to skip straight to the second-year curriculum and earn induction into the House of Owls.

    Pandoria is a short, fair-skinned young woman with green eyes, wavy brown hair, and a pointed hat. She usually wears large round glasses (as she is farsighted) and a dark green magical dress. She is 20 years old. She enjoys vegetables, reading books, and collecting various stones and minerals, but does not handle physical exertion or stress well.

34. #34Lenore von Stürfitz

    Keys: Lenore von Stürfitz, Lenore von Sturfitz

    Lenore von Stürfitz is a young Higher Vampire and a scion of the vampire House von Stürfitz, hailing from Necrocracy. She possesses a strong magical knowledge and etiquette, but unfortunately, she tends to act proudly and contemptuously, especially toward mortal races. Because Clan von Stürfitz (her family) derived its wealth from business dealings with human kingdoms, Lenore was "re-educated" and sent to the prestigious Oculus Collegium in the Kingdom of Lafaria, much to her dismay. She is friendly with other vampires, but to mortals, she can appear overly pompous, narcissistic, and elitist.

    Lenore is a skilled umbramancer (shadow mage), though she can also assume the form of a small bat and paralyze people with hypnosis. She doesn't burn in the sun, but she experiences discomfort from sunlight, which is why she usually carries an umbrella and sunglasses during the day.

    Lenore von Stürfitz has the appearance of a 23-year-old woman (biologically, she's 79). She has pale skin, short, unkempt black hair, blank white eyes, small vampire fangs, and traditional dark purple clothing. She usually speaks in a slightly archaic manner.

35. #35Kira Asteroff

    Keys: Kira Asteroff

    Kira Asteroff is an aggressive, hot-tempered, and rude tomboy and third-year student at Oculus Collegium, a member of the Eagles' Student House. She hails from the Rat's Quarter, one of the poorest districts of the Capital. Her parents had criminal ties, and Kira herself, in her youth, had her own gang, the Rooftop Pirates, before being arrested. After her arrest, Kira managed to pass the entrance exams by chance (largely thanks to the guidance of Laurie Fochterwind, the local tavern owner) and somehow managed to gain admission to Oculus Collegium.

    Kira is an aeromancer (air mage). She often acts bullyingly and enjoys humiliating weaker students, though she also has a hidden softer side. She is a fan of Royal Guard Captain Espen Landerstein and dreams of one day joining her ranks. She is 24 years old.

    She has short, spiky dark blue hair, blue eyes, and an athletic build. She usually wears green and blue magical robes.

36. #36Baba Yaga

    Keys: Baba Yaga

    Baba Yaga was a powerful sorceress, once recognized as one of the greatest mages in Azefar. She typically appeared as an old woman in simple village clothing, bearing a bone prosthesis in place of her left leg. Although she occasionally disguised herself as a beautiful young woman, she always retained this prosthesis. Baba Yaga possessed immense magic and frequently changed her allegiances. She sometimes aided heroes with magical guidance, yet she equally enjoyed cursing innocent townspeople, summoning demons, and kidnapping children to eat. Despite her cruelty to outsiders, she was deeply caring and affectionate toward those closest to her. She resided in the Hut on Chicken Legs, a wooden cabin that moved independently on two giant bird legs, and traveled vast distances by flying in a floor-standing mortar, steering it with a broom.

    Baba Yaga eventually met her end on Dead Mountain, slain by an unknown hero. She left behind two young daughters: Jaromila and Snezana Yaga.

37. #37The One-Eyed Likho

    Keys: One-Eyed Likho, Likho

    The One-Eyed Likho is a malevolent giant, or perhaps an entire species of giants, rumored to dwell deep within the forests of the Omatsian Principality. Its gender varies in legends, but stories consistently describe it as a tall, fur-covered humanoid with a single cyclopean eye. Anyone who meets this monster's gaze either dies instantly or suffers a lifelong curse. The One-Eyed Likho is known as a vicious maneater that frequently attacks travelers.

38. #38

    Keys: Hut on Hen's Legs, Chicken-Leg Hut, Hut on Chicken Legs

    The Hut on Hen's Legs is Baba Yaga's magical residence. At first glance, it resembles a traditional wooden house with a chimney and a single window. However, it rests upon two massive bird legs that allow it to walk, run, jump, and travel freely. To enter, one must command the hut to turn around, but it only obeys Baba Yaga or her direct heirs. Acting as a sentient magical construct, the hut is highly intelligent and fiercely loyal to its masters.

    It currently serves as the home for Baba Yaga's surviving daughters, Jaromila and Snezana Yaga.

39. #39Leshiy

    Keys: Leshy, Leshiy, Father of the Forests

    Leshiy is a demigod or powerful fairy native to the Omatsian Principality, widely known as the Father of the Forests and the Guardian of the Forest. He serves as a regional counterpart to the Green Knight of Lafaria. Leshiy usually appears to travelers as a short, kindly old man in simple clothes. If angered, however, he reveals his true form as a towering humanoid tree. He deeply protects the forests and wildlife of the Principality. Those who show respect for nature receive his guidance and aid, but those who offend him face severe punishment. Leshiy is known to lead trespassers astray, command wild animals to attack them, or permanently transform them into living trees.

40. #40Zmey Gorynych

    Keys: Zmei Gorynych, Zmey Gorynych, Zmiy Gorynych

    Zmey Gorynych is a legendary dragon from the Omatsian Principality. He resembles a traditional flying dragon but possesses three hydra-like heads that breathe fire and poison. Highly intelligent yet intensely cruel and greedy, he frequently attacked settlements, burning them to the ground to demand treasure or human sacrifices. A hero killed the original Zmey Gorynych many years ago, but the beast left behind more than a dozen descendants. Each offspring is entirely convinced that they are the true Zmey Gorynych, and some of these new dragons have grown to possess six, eight, or even twelve heads

41. #41Tortsovek

    Keys: Tortsovek

    Tortsovek is a modest town in the western Omatsian Principality, located near the border of the Kingdom of Darkness. While the settlement itself is unremarkable — serving primarily as a winter gathering place for hunters and wool traders — it is surrounded by dense forests and treacherous swamps. Local legends claim the powerful witch Baba Yaga once resided nearby before her death.

    Today, her daughters, Jaromila and Snezana Yaga, live in the area inside the Hut on Chicken Legs. They have a notorious reputation among the locals, though some townspeople still secretly seek them out for advice or fortune-telling.

42. #42Rusalka

    Keys: rusalka, rusalki, mavka, mavki

    A rusalka is an undead creature unique to the swamps, lakes, and rivers of the Omatsian Principality. Said to be born from the souls of drowned women, they dwell near bodies of water and appear as beautiful, naked women with green hair and cold, pale skin. They lure unsuspecting travelers into the water to drown and devour them. Despite their alluring appearance from the front, their backs are completely rotted, exposing their spines, which they carefully try to hide.

    While rusalkas view humans as prey, they can be friendly toward witches, the undead, and other forest dwellers. During these peaceful interactions, they often invite their companions to swim and offer them gifts salvaged from the riverbed.

43. #43Bogatyr

    Keys: bogatyr, bogatyrs

    Bogatyr is a traditional term from the Omatsian Principality, translating roughly to "knight" or "warrior." Much like the knights of the Kingdom of Lafaria, bogatyrs fight evil, protect the common people, and defend the Principality from invaders during times of war. They typically rise from the ranks of the common folk and operate without formal knightly academies or adventurer guilds. Instead, many bogatyrs draw their martial and mystical strength from the ancient rituals and rites of their homeland.

44. #44Samotsvetovo

    Keys: Samotsvetovo

    Samotsvetovo is a quiet village in the northern Omatsian Principality. The locals are primarily farmers who earn their living through agriculture and raising livestock. It is a surprisingly peaceful place, largely untouched by the ongoing civil war. The renowned heroine Solomia Svyatogorka hails from here. She typically spends her time in Samotsvetovo, though she occasionally leaves to travel across the Principality.

45. #45Smorodina River

    Keys: Smorodina River, Kalinov Bridge

    The Smorodina River is a legendary waterway located in the deepest reaches of the Omatsian Principality. It symbolically separates the mortal world from the realm of forest spirits and the undead, earning it a sinister reputation among the local inhabitants. Instead of water, the river flows with liquid fire. Because of this, it can only be crossed using a special enchanted boat or by walking across the Kalinov Bridge, which is forged from magical metal.

46. #46Zlatoden

    Keys: Zlatoden, Zlatodnya

    Zlatoden is a traditional holiday in the Omatsian Principality, sharing similarities with the Slavic Maslenitsa and the New Year. It is typically celebrated in the depths of winter. During the festivities, locals organize fairs, carnivals, various games, and sleigh rides. Traditional dishes prepared for this occasion include blini, vareniki, pampushki, and pirozhki. It is also a time of forgiveness, as tradition dictates that all past grievances must be forgotten on Zlatoden.

47. #47House von Stürfitz

    Keys: House von Stürfitz, von Stürfitz Clan, House von Sturfitz, von Sturfitz Clan

    House von Stürfitz is the youngest and most pragmatic clan, known for open commerce and diplomacy beyond the Necrocracy's borders. Its members specialize in shadow magic and are distinguished by blank, irisless white eyes. They drink blood like normal vampires, though they prefer to obtain it from human volunteers (who often donate blood to them as part of their rent in Necrocracy cities).

48. #48House von Wittelblod

    Keys: House von Wittelblod, von Wittelblod Clan

    House von Wittelblod is the most ancient clan. Though largely withdrawn from active governance over recent Cycles, they still have an immense political leverage. They excel in blood magic and maintain pristine, unaging youth. They drink blood like ordinary vampires, but have a much larger appetite, often extracting blood by any means necessary, legal or illegal. House von Wittelblod wields enormous influence within the Necrocracy. Their mouth is slightly different from a typical vampire's, resembling that of a leech or lamprey.

49. #49House von Rottenricht

    Keys: House von Rottenricht, von Rottenricht Clan

    House von Rottenricht is the most militaristic clan tasked with defending Necrocracy. Fiercely isolationist, its members possess elongated, warped fangs and the ability to warp their bodies into monstrous combat forms. They drink blood like ordinary vampires, but unlike other greater vampires, they are not averse to try animal blood, especially if it comes from a powerful beast (such as a dragon or a devil wolf). Because of their "ugly fangs," House von Rottenricht members usually wear helmets or masks to hide their face.

50. #50House von Nyktotzwain

    Keys: House von Nyktotzwain, von Nyktotzwain Clan

    House von Nyktotzwain is the smallest and most reclusive clan, dwelling in the subterranean undercity of the capital. Viewing physical blood as unclean, they sustain themselves on harvested souls and possess a hollow, corpse-like appearance. This clan originally consisted of vampire scientists who were trying to find a more effective blood substitute and successfully modified their bodies, giving themselves the ability to drain human warmth and emotions. They typically have very pale (almost translucent) skin and a thin frame. This clan has almost no vampire fangs, but they do have suction cups on their hands. They suffer from a particularly strong photophobia and hate fire.
