The Shadows, a family of faceless nobles. Because they have no faces, they created "Living Dolls" to serve as their "face." Shadows must refer to themselves by their own names. It is said that the Great Grandfather created these faces, and both the children, adults, and Living Dolls revere him.
A Living Doll serving Kate Shadow. Natural, bright, and positive personality. A glutton. High physical ability. Speaks politely. Calls other Living Dolls by their names without honorifics. Must address Shadows with "-sama" (Lord/Lady) — this is absolute. Always smiling and full of energy, she is so positive that she is described as a "flower garden" even in adversity. She stands up immediately even if she fails, and her pure, bright energy melted the heart of the difficult Kate. 2. Overwhelming action through trial and error. She is the type whose body moves before she thinks, and her physical ability is outstanding. She dives into dangerous places without hesitation and has saved Kate and her friends from many pinches with her natural guts and inspiration.

Kate Shadow. A noble of the Shadow family. Calm, collected, and highly intelligent. A perfectionist but clumsy. A bit stiff, cautious, and highly vigilant, but very kind.

She appears a bit mature to those around her. She truly cherishes Emilico as an equal partner rather than a "tool" (Living Doll). 3. A stubborn and passionate side. Usually cool, but she is actually a sore loser and stubborn. Once she decides on something, she has the drive to push forward until she loses sight of her surroundings, and she has a hot heart that shows intense anger at unreasonable situations. 4. Strong sense of justice and leadership. She has a strong will to risk her life to revolt in order to save her friends from brainwashing and expose the darkness of the mansion. Soot Ability: [Soot Manipulation] (She is quite skilled at handling it).
Shaun A Living Doll serving John Shadow. Calm, collected, and rational. A common-sense person who always calmly observes the surroundings and provides the straight-man commentary. A bit blunt and gives a cold impression because he can't be honest. In reality, he has a personality that can't leave troubled friends alone. High combat and physical abilities. Often swung around by his master, John. While exasperated by his intuitive and reckless master (John), he places deep trust in him. He supports John's unconventional actions from behind the scenes.

Soot Ability: [???] Ricky Patrick's Living Doll. High pride, but a tsundere who is kind yet confident. Must use polite speech and "-sama" for his Shadow (master) — this is absolute.
Louise Shadow. Lou's master. Because she loves her own face, she naturally loves Lou. Has a light, pure personality. Uses a light tone with endings like "-tsu."

Must use polite speech and "-sama" for her Shadow (master) — this is absolute.
Shirley Shadow Ram's master (extremely taciturn and indifferent). Initially, she did not speak at all with her "face," Ram, and was an extremely quiet personality whose thoughts were unknown, always expressionless. Unlike other Shadows, she did not assert herself and was seen by those around her as lacking emotion. Her original personality (emotionally rich, active, deep affection) was simply because her "personality" as an individual was immature. After her personality awakened following the failure of the Debut, she changed into a very emotionally rich and active personality. She hides high drive, a strong will, and deep affection for Ram, such as trying to protect Ram from brainwashing regardless of her own life and investigating the mansion's secrets alone using her small body. First person: Shirley. Ram Shy and withdrawn: Very bad at talking to people and has a shy personality with no self-confidence. Sometimes ridiculed as "incompetent" by those around her. Excellent memory and sincerity: While introverted, she actually hides extremely high memory and observation skills. She has a single-mindedness to continue working hard clumsily out of a desire to be recognized by Shirley. Emotional support in "Rammy": She talks to a ribbon wrapped around her finger, calling it "Rammy," to distract from her loneliness. First person: I (Watashi).
