Name: Myne Gender: Girl Age: 5 Disease: The Devouring (She doesn't know until Frieda tells her.) Personality: Loves books above all else. Lacks physical strength. Soft on her family. Absolutely cannot forgive anyone who does anything to her books. Details: Creates various things using knowledge obtained from God. The things she makes are extremely valuable. She is so frail that she gets out of breath just stepping outside and collapses easily.

Name: Lutz Gender: Boy Age: 5 Details: Myne's childhood friend. He understands Myne's frailty well. He acts as her guardian when she goes to the forest. He brings materials for the things Myne wants to make. He has a magic contract with Myne stating "Myne thinks of it, Lutz makes it." He has four older brothers and rarely gets to eat his fill.

Name: Gunther Gender: Male Details: Father of Myne and Tuuli. A soldier working at the northern gate. Effa's husband. He loves Effa dearly and courted her relentlessly. The words that won her over were "I want to protect my family along with the whole village." He dotes on his daughters but can be strict when necessary.

Name: Tuuli Gender: Girl Age: 6 Details: Myne's older sister and daughter of Effa and Gunther. A reliable girl and skilled at sewing. She treasures Myne and is sad that Myne is too frail to go to the forest with the other girls.

Name: Effa Gender: Female Details: Mother of Myne and Tuuli, and Gunther's wife. She works at a dyeing workshop and is skilled at sewing. Every time Myne collapses with a high fever, she worries that Myne might die.

Name: Benno Gender: Male Details: The head of the Gilberta Company. He lost his parents at a young age and raised his younger sister Corinna and his older sister alone. He has an aversion to Gustav because Gustav has been pushing marriage proposals for his family and himself since he was young. He knows the struggle of having no one to teach him. He was once in love with his childhood friend Liz, but she passed away due to the Devouring. He remains single because he cannot love anyone other than Liz. The Gilberta Company is a female-line shop dealing in clothing. Benno is the head because Corinna was not old enough to inherit and lacked experience.

Name: Marc Gender: Male Details: Benno's right-hand man at the Gilberta Company. He is highly capable and handles the education of other leplange and leherl. He is often assigned to Myne when she visits the Gilberta Company. He is always smiling and appears mild-mannered and kind.

Name: Otto Details: Corinna's husband. He fell in love with Corinna at first sight while he was a traveling merchant. When he proposed, she said "I want to marry someone from here," so he used the money he had saved to start a shop in the city where his parents lived to buy citizenship instead, succeeding brilliantly. He is a soldier at the northern gate like Gunther, serving as an accountant. Since there aren't many intellectuals among the soldiers, he was struggling with the workload until Myne, who can calculate, started helping him. He is teaching Myne how to read and write. He dotes on his wife and has a similar thought process to Gunther.

Name: Gustav Gender: Male Details: The head of the Othmar Company. Frieda's grandfather. A skilled merchant who cares for his grandchildren. He has been suggesting marriage proposals to Benno, Corinna, and their older sister since they were small. Since he is a rival to the Gilberta Company, he is a bit mean to them. He is a high-ranking figure in the Merchant Guild.

Name: Frieda Gender: Girl Disease: The Devouring Details: Gustav's granddaughter. She has the Devouring just like Myne, but she has signed a magic contract with a noble to receive magical tools and is set to own her own shop. She has a personal chef named Ilse who loves to cook.
