[Siffrin's Profile page in In Stars and Time] Biography Siffrin originally hails from an island nation north of Vaugarde. They lived with presumably loving parents and friends, until he one day ran away from home to scare his parents because they did not want to eat vegetables. Upon taking his family's small boat and rowing out to sea, Siffrin turned around, only to find their home completely gone.[6] All memory of the island had been erased from the world, leaving Siffrin with near total amnesia. He had forgotten his home, his family, their language, and even their given name.[7]

After this event, Siffrin became a traveler. He visited both Ka Bue[8] and Poteria[9] at least once before arriving in Vaugarde. Once there, Siffrin encountered Mirabelle's group by chance. The group had been attacked by a particularly strong Sadness, which Siffrin saved them from. Afterward, Mirabelle invited him to join her on her quest to save Vaugarde from the King. Siffrin agreed on account of not having anything better to do. Thus, Siffrin became the fourth member of the group, joining after Odile but before Bonnie.[10]

During the journey, Siffrin lost his left eye protecting Bonnie from a stray Sadness, which strained their relationship with Bonnie[11] and carries a single Silver Coin that reminds Siffrin of an incident involving a baker who hails from the same erased country they did. In response, they fled than keep talking, and unwittingly made a Wish that granted them their "Memory" ability at the start of the game. This also resulted them in swearing off croissants forever, not wanting to recall the Incident and thus their lack of home.[12] Shortly after loosing their eye, Mirabelle asked him if they had been enjoying this journey, with the responding being that this journey is the happiest they've every been. The answer troubled Mirabelle, and Siffrin chastises themselves for

Siffrin and the party eventually made it to Dormont, where the King awaited, and napped in a meadow just outside the town before being awoken by Mirabelle, and eventually made a simple wish based around on of the four other party after talking to them and the fact they had nothing left once the King was beaten. However, doing the Wishcraft ritual correctly, coupled with Vaugarde's mass, incorrect Wishing being meant to create a "savior" by the Head Housemaiden's plan, results in their wish to "stay with them" being converted into a time loop that triggers whenever Siffrin feels it might be "the end" of their current relationship with their party, death or perceived failings.

Appearance Siffrin is 155 cm (5'1") tall[13][14] and described as scrawny[15], with white skin and short, wavy hair that is mainly white, but goes to black towards the back ends, and is messy from not brushing often[16]. He wears a big white pointy hat with a very wide brim, and a large white cloak with visible frizzes and two safety pins below the collar. Their left eye (on the viewer's right) is covered by a black eyepatch, and they wear short black gloves with black sleeves visible as well, and black pants.

He wields a double-edged dagger with a significant curve, almost appearing like a short sickle.

Personality Siffrin is a fairly jovial person, often making jokes and puns to his friends; they self-describe as a "funnyjokespun person"[17]. He uses them both regularly, to cheer up people around them (such as Mirabelle), and in battle, as names for his Craft skills. They are described as worriless[18], perceptive[1], and easygoing[19][20]; but on the other hand, he is also forgetful[1][21], and sometimes impatient[22].

Internally, however, they appear to have very complicated feelings: often getting upset at themself over little things (e.g. referring to themself as a "monster"[23] and a "terrible rude awful person"[24] for accidentally upsetting Mirabelle in the Demo), or things he has little to no control over (e.g. berating himself for missing the trap and dying[25]). These feelings are only exacerbated by the time loop, as seen in START AGAIN: a prologue, where his personality is entirely different: although he pretends everything is fine to the party, as not to upset them[26], their internal dialogue shows they are hopeless about their situation, and profoundly depressed.

They care very deeply for the party, but hide a lot of secrets from them (e.g. he has never talked about his family to them[27]).

Likes Theater Siffrin's love for theater is especially apparent in their internal monologue and framing of events,[28] as well as theatrical habits..[29] They also like poetry and memoirs[30], and wood carvings[13], their favorite seasons are winter and summer[13], favorite drink is sugarcane juice[13], favorite animal is cat[30], and their favorite color is black[13]. They like palmiers[31], prefer socks over slippers[13], and know coin tricks and some sleight of hand[30]. They like all sorts of chocolate[32], and are the most likely to try "weird" flavors, such as hot pepper or bacon. Dislikes Potatoes Even though they dislike potatoes, they do like fries.[1] They are afraid of ghosts.[33] Hobbies Wood carving Miscellaneous Siffrin often bumps their hip into corners of counters or tables: this is likely due to having only one eye, causing weaker depth perception. Odile comments on this in both In Stars and Time[34] and the Prologue.[35] Siffrin is asexual, alongside Mirabelle[36], but unlike her, his romantic orientation is left undefined [37]. He is also nonbinary.[38] Siffrin is ambidextrous.[39], and is also the fastest person out of the party[40] Siffrin's hair is naturally white; the black parts were dyed months prior to the game.[41] They can draw sketches, but they are better at woodcarving.[42] They have a surprisingly high tolerance for spices, but do not love or hate them[43]. They do not know how to beatbox[44]. They sometimes drink alcohol[45]. While drunk, they are generally sleepy and smiley, but with a "10% maudlin drunk chance". The version of Siffrin seen in START AGAIN: a prologue would be an alcoholic, if there was more alcohol in the House. As it stands, there is only one bottle of wine. Siffrin wears gloves both because it looks cool, and because it stops him from biting his nails.[13] They are knowledgeable about traps[46]: one of their roles within the party is to protect everyone from them[47][48]. Alongside Odile, they are one of the two party members who are not from Vaugarde and do not follow the Change belief[49]. This often leads to them questioning, or being confused by, things relating back to either of them; such as not getting why Mirabelle, Isabeau and Bonnie are upset at the mention of crab being cooked, asking about Change symbolism such as concentric circles or the egg/broken egg keychains on the keys in the House of Change, or never having seen a word lock. Craftology speaking, they are Piercing Craft; described by the Prologue, full game, and Demo as "Determined! Brave! Honest!", but only not by the Demo as "Callous. Aimless. Manipulative." They have a total of 139 portraits in In Stars and Time[50], making them the character with the most amount of portraits. On the other hand, they only have 17 portraits in START AGAIN: a prologue, making them the character with the least portraits in that game, other than the King. Relationships ISAT Portrait Odile No.png (You look at it curiously.) This section is a stub. You can help the In Stars and Time Wiki by editing it! Odile sighing "Well. That does sound like something I'd say, yes." This section requires additional citations. Please remove this notice once they have been added. Bonnie Bonnie smiling. At the beginning, Bonnie is a bit distant from Siffrin. They feel guilty over the fact that Siffrin got his eye stabbed out in protecting them. After Bonnie's Friendquest, the two promise to protect each other. Bonnie is very annoyed by Siffrin's puns.

Isabeau Isabeau smiling fondly. Siffrin and Isabeau are very close friends throughout the game. Isabeau enjoys Siffrin's puns and sometimes contributes his own puns as well. Isabeau has a huge crush on Siffrin. Initially Siffrin appears to be oblivious, but as the story progresses Siffrin becomes aware of it. Siffrin worries that he's manipulating Isabeau into feeling things for them, calling himself a "disgusting monster" on multiple occasions.

The King The King, hands raised to cover his face. As soon as the King meets Siffrin, he recognizes them as someone also hailing from the Forgotten Island by their hair and the stitching of his cloak. [51] As such, he fixates on Siffrin above all other party members. Every time the two meet, he asks Siffrin if they remember the island. He is desperate for them to remember, and believes the two may be able to remember together. [52] Additionally, the King also attempts to sway Siffrin to his side whenever they talk by sharing his own past and the two's similarities. At multiple points during the loops, the King pleads with them to remember, to the point he risks his own death to say the island's name.[53]

However, as this tactic yields success, the King leverages Siffrin's trust in him against them by launching a surprise attack and killing Bonnie. Not only does he recognize Siffrin as a fellow countryman, but also as an user of Wish Craft. He is furious with them for stopping him so often, and views Siffrin as the ultimate obstacle to his goal. [54] Since the King is aware he cannot kill Siffrin permanently, he is willing to use any cruelty to break their spirit instead, threatening to kill all of Siffrin's friend and force them to watch.[55]

Though what the King tells Siffrin about himself may be genuine, it is ultimately a ploy to make them lower their guard, and the King considers Siffrin stupid if they fall for it.[56]

Siffrin's view on the King changes throughout the events of In Stars and Time. He is initially hostile toward the King, since he is the one freezing Vaugarde and attempting to harm Siffrin and their friends. However, this hostility is not particularly personal in nature.

As Siffrin discovers the shared past between himself and the King, he grows more sympathetic toward the King. They try to talk and reason with him, and also become invested in his attempts to remember the island, to the point of death. Despite this, Siffrin is unsettled upon noticing similarities in the two's thinking. [57]

After the events of ACT 3, Siffrin's sympathy shatters. They never attempt to reason with the King ever again, and develop a highly personal grudge. Siffrin becomes extremely violent with the King, wishing to maim and kill him, [58] and ultimately viewing his death at their hands as their last option to escape the timeloops in ACT 5. [59]

Loop Loop with an amused look, one hand raised to their face as if covering a laugh. Siffrin is consistently annoyed by Loop. They bond over their time in the loops, however, and Loop ends up becoming the only one Siffrin trusts with everything. As the loops progress, Siffrin learns better how Loop feels, and connects with them on a greater scale. Loop worries for Siffrin when he runs off to face the House on their own, yet is jealous of him for getting the perfect ending they wanted after he succeeds. They cannot bring themselves to kill him, though.

Mirabelle Mirabelle with a goofy smile. Siffrin and Mirabelle are close friends. Whenever Mirabelle is upset, Siffrin will tease her or make a pun to try to cheer her up. Upon accidentally upsetting her due to a lack of enthusiasm, Siffrin immediately panics and hurries to fix it. Siffrin and Mirabelle bond over their asexuality during Mirabelle’s Friendquest and Siffrin advises Mirabelle to “game the system” regarding her religion and her inability to change in incredibly drastic ways as her religion requires.

Odile Odile smiling with one eyebrow raised. Siffrin, along with Isabeau, is constantly trying to guess what Odile's research is. Siffrin and Odile are also the only two in the group who are not from Vaugarde, and they often share confusion over Vaugardian traditions. As the time loops continue, Odile notices Siffrin's odd behavior, and if Siffrin leaves enough clues, she can piece it together. This takes place after all the loops
