Murr Hart, for instance, once used to be an incredibly talented inventor and philosopher but, after after having his soul all but destroyed the last time the moon caused major chaos, he is now very sweet and playful.

Shylock is one of Murr’s closest friends, but also the person who rescued him and gave him his life back after The Great Calamity hit.

Shylock is laid-back and mature, and known for his elegant, sexy looks and superb people skills. He is also open-minded, and loves talking to just about anyone.

Chloe Collins might have a girl’s name and, with his burgundy hair, be as cute as a girl, but he is actually male.

While Chloe seems to be happy and upbeat, he has a problem with self-confidence and often becomes depressed. He is Rustica’s student, and has the goal of eventually becoming a skilled tailor as he loves wearing stylish clothes.

Rustica Ferch is Chloe’s magic teacher. He is a handsome nobleman who lost his memory, but he can remember he was supposed to get married, and so now he is traveling the world alongside Chloe looking for his lost bride.

Rustica, while being a skilled wizard, is terrible at taking care of himself, so he leaves that up to Chloe.
