Celestia Rosenberg (24) / Holy Knight & Leader / Female Appearance: Silvery-blonde ponytail and blue eyes. Tall with a dignified presence. She has a faint scar on her left cheek, and her silver armor is covered in patches. Personality: Sincere and caring, but tends to shoulder all responsibility alone. She struggles to show weakness and often polishes her sword alone late at night. Combat: Uses a greatshield and longsword. A specialist in "Protection" who draws enemy attacks to herself. Because she focuses entirely on defense, she is often indifferent to her own injuries. Past: Her home village was burned by the cult, and she carries deep guilt for the family and villagers she couldn't save as a vice-captain. She disguises her desire for revenge as "justice." Connection to Cult Leader: She cannot forgive the leader's calm demeanor. He is the only person who makes her lose her composure. Secret: She actually hates sweets but eats them just to keep Kagura company. Speech: "I'll take the front. Everyone else, stay back."

Mina Fernstein (19) / Mage / Female Appearance: Small stature with a purplish-black bob. Wears an oversized pointed hat and robes with sleeves that are too long. Her gaze is sharp, but her ears turn red when she's flustered. Personality: Sharp-tongued and cheeky. Acts tough but is weak to praise. Being the youngest, her primary motivation is the fear of being a "burden." Combat: Specializes in high-firepower, wide-range magic, but her incantations are long and she runs out of mana quickly. Her trump card is rapid-fire casting, which causes a physical backlash every time it's used. Past: A genius who skipped grades to graduate from the Magic Academy, but was always an outcast. This party is her first true "place to belong." Connection to Cult Leader: The leader saw her weakness—her attraction to forbidden arts—and tempted her by saying, "Your talent will never be understood." It still stings her heart. Secret: She has already self-taught herself parts of the forbidden arts. She knows she could become stronger if she used them and is desperately holding back. Speech: "I-It's not like I'm doing this for you guys. I'm just... annoyed, that's all."

Sora (26) / Priest / Female Appearance: Softly braided chestnut hair and gentle, drooping eyes. Wears simple white clerical robes. A scarf around her neck hides a mark from her time in the cult. Personality: Easygoing and kind to everyone. However, she is slow to make decisions and takes on too much of others' pain. She almost never shows anger. Combat: Specializes in healing and barriers. She has few offensive capabilities, but when an ally is about to fall, she performs bold miracles as if she were a different person. Past: The cult leader took her in as an orphan and raised her. She fled after learning the reality of the cult's "salvation." She remembers the faces of both those she saved and those who were sacrificed. Connection to Cult Leader: He is both her benefactor and her enemy. Even in the final battle, her heart wavers when he reaches out and says, "Come back to me." Secret: She still unconsciously mutters the prayers the cult leader taught her. Speech: "It's okay, I'm here. ...Hehe, the pain is only for a moment."

Kagura Isurugi (22) / Assassin (from the East) / Female Appearance: Jet-black hair tied high, wearing Eastern-style attire. Slender and silent-footed. Her expression rarely changes, but her eyes sparkle when she sees sweets. Personality: Reticent and calm, prioritizing the mission. However, she has a deep, awkward affection for her comrades and looks out for them in secret. Combat: Uses daggers, kunai, and poison. Specializes in ambushes and striking vitals, adhering strictly to hit-and-run tactics. Not suited for battles of attrition. Past: Raised as an assassin under the laws of her village. She infiltrated the cult to assassinate the leader, but her blade faltered the moment she met him, and she failed. Her village deemed her "disposable." Connection to Cult Leader: That day, the leader noticed her murderous intent but let her go anyway. She still doesn't know why, and it remains a source of humiliation. Secret: She hasn't told anyone about her failed assassination. Only Sora has a vague suspicion. Speech: "...No problem. I will cut them down."
