Difference between revisions of "VH/Characters"

The player's main character by default. Nanako is a red-haired young lass seeking adventure, trained in martial arts. While not very smart, she can still pack a mean punch. She's a bright and energetic girl, but her naivety may get the better of her.

A proud noble girl with extraordinary talents, Serena is the second daughter of the house of Grazia who left home in secret to search for her family's stolen heirloom. She is very ignorant of the world and is insecure about her height. Her full name is Serena Fuoco Le Brillante de La Grazia.

Ashley was once a promising young ice witch who was training to be a knight for one of the lords at the Capital, until she was kidnapped by bandits and kept as a sex slave. While imprisoned her body was covered in piercings and magical tattoos. Though she is blind, her other senses have become much sharper.

After Rescue Ashley has been completed Nanako may receive a messenger while staying in the Capital Inn who tells her about Ashley's recovery. Then shortly after Nanako may enter the Hot Springs Adventurer's Guild and find Ashley up and about. This triggers a cutscene where Nanako excitedly greets Ashley and she suggests they go to the Inn to rest. This leads to two scenes, which vary depending on the Purity/Dirty level. NOTE: As of version 180601, the Dirty version of the Inn scenes might freeze. If your game stalls on the innkeeper part way through, activate the debug mode from Nanako's House and temporarily set your purity to a high number to trigger the other version of the sequence(It's under "hidden parameters" in the debug tool).

Note: When you start a new game and decide to play as Ashley, if you choose to manually answer the character creation questions, then you start at Level 1 instead of Level 10. This seems like it's a bug, because this doesn't happen, for example, when you start a new game and play as Erika.

When you choose to play Ashley as your character, you begin the game waking up after Nanako has rescued you at the end of the Rescue Ashley quest.

Erika Riunroot is a strong, one-armed female adventurer who has experienced many hardships. She instantly takes a liking to Nanako's refreshing and upbeat attitude.

• Can be recruited after completing Bandit's Hideout quest.
• Unable to be recruited after completing Rescuing Ashley quest.
• Briefly playable during Merchant Escort quest.

When you choose to play Erika as your character, you begin the game just after the events of the Rescue Ashley and Merchant Escort quests. If you go behind the front counter of the guild hall and downstairs to the guild's infirmary, you will find Ashley still unconscious and recuperating in bed.

A merchant's daughter. She's a decent fighter and can use some magic.

• Briefly joins your party during Merchant Escort.
• Can be recruited at Hot Spring Town and the Capital when playing as Nanako, after done with Merchant Escort.
• Can be recruited at the Capital when playing as Serena.
• Barely playable as a character. Most quests, events, and cutscenes are incomplete, which causes very buggy behavior in the game. Expect the game to freeze or crash frequently when playing as Lhat.

Note: The above stats are when you are playing as another character and Lhat joins your party for the first time as an NPC companion. The stats below are when you start a new game and play as Lhat, and choose to create the character using the defaults.

When you choose to play Lhat as your character, you begin the game in the manor house owned by your (step)brother, the lord of Grihastha.

Rin is the youthful captain of the Capital's guards and is quite familiar with comments about her age and experience. A recent rash of gruesome murders have her rather perplexed, but that's not all that's worrying her... Rin is someone who's very knowledgeable and can be counted on. She learns to rely on Nanako's strength. Can be recruited after completing Rescue Rin.

When you choose to play Rin as your character, you begin the game in the forest just northeast of the Capital.

A girl born from Nanako and a dog. The ever-strong girl looks like Nanako. Red hair, tail; black drooping ears.

Unlocked during normal play as other characters by having Bellepher's child and making it grow up.

When you choose to play Nana as your character, you begin the game in Nanako's House.

A poor little witch girl who was sold into slavery by her once rich but now indebted parents.

Not a huge amount of her story has been revealed. She latches onto Nanako when you rescue her and seems to think she's her mother. She's briefly playable during a quest initiated by talking to the Dragon's daughter after she's been saved from the Orcs, when Elmire is your companion.

• Can be recruited after completing Buying Elmire.
• Somewhat playable as a character as of latest versions.

When you choose to play Elmire as your character, you begin the game in Nanako's House.

An Alraune who was raised by an old man that lives near Foothills Town. Bright and Cheerful.

Marginally playable as a character. An introductory cutscene has been created, and Eia can go to school in town (presumably this might be Foothills Town?), which is located to the east of her house; but very little other content exists. During her introductory cutscene, you can see flashes of other characters' story lines; for example, a scene where Lime's family is attacked by human adventurers while she escapes in a crate, is not seen in Lime's own introductory cutscene, presumably because she is hidden inside the crate and cannot see the attack.

Based on the racism (speciesism?) and discrimination experienced by both characters at the hands of humans, it is perhaps safe to assume that the developer plans to have Eia and Lime's storylines intersect at some point.

When you choose to play Eia as your character, you begin the game in her house, which is located just to the east of the Elf Forest and Eisen, south of Norland, and north of Delvanka.

A recolor of Hinano. Based on her introductory cutscene, Lime is not a half–slime; rather, she seems to be a red slime that has gained sapience and taken human form. (Get it? Slime? s-Lime? ;-P ) Her slime family is murdered by callous human adventurers, which leads to her extreme hatred towards humans.

Somewhat playable as a character.

Based on the racism (speciesism?) and discrimination experienced by both characters at the hands of humans, it is perhaps safe to assume that the developer plans to have Lime and Eia's storylines intersect at some point.

When you choose to play Lime as your character, you begin the game beneath the Capital.

Similarly to when you play as Serena, even though you start the game at the Capital, it's recommended that you go to Hot Spring Town first. (This is especially important for Lime, because unlike Serena, Lime must complete the Delivery Work quest in Hot Spring Town in order to receive the Portable Portal.) To get there, you can have Lime register at the Adventurer's Guild in the Capital, and complete the first quest, Medicinal Herb Collection. During the quest, if you collect some gemstones from the environment, you can sell them at vendor shops for money. Or, you can simply repeat the Medicinal Herb Collection quest three times. Once you have accumulated 1500G, you can go to the horse train station and buy a ticket to Hot Spring Town. Be aware that this is a one–way ticket, and because you don't own it yet, the Capital will not be added as a location to your Portable Portal. So you should accomplish anything you want in the Capital first (such as perhaps completing a couple of the other guild quests, if you'd like) before you head to Hot Spring Town.

An adventurer who wishes to become a hero. A spiky haired boy in white bandana whom you can find sitting inside Hot Spring Town's guild building. He's the first recruitable party member for Nanako.

Can be recruited in the Hot Spring Town Adventurer's Guild Hall after registering as an adventurer and paying the membership fee. He appears to be the only companion that can be recruited at (almost) any time, throughout the entirety of the game.

Note: If you want to level him up, you should recruit him as soon as you possibly can, basically at the very start of the game. He starts off extremely weak, so you need to get him up to a fairly high level and upgrade him with much better equipment before he becomes moderately useful as a companion. However, having said all of this, Hanten is able to equip some of the most powerful equipment in the game, such as a Monohoshizao, Labrys, or Plate Armor.

Temporarily unable to be recruited after Rescue Ashley. At some point after Rescue Ashley, he can again be recruited at the Grihastha Adventurers' Guild.

Hanten has a limited range where he is willing to follow you when you are walking around in the wilderness. If you attempt to have him in your party when you are walking north into the mountains, he will refuse to go any farther north than the Road to the Frontier. However, if you have already previously visited locations in the northern mountains (such as Eisen, Surglane Village, etc.) so that they are available as teleport locations, then you can teleport to those places even when Hanten is in your party.

A young but proud witch. She could probably give birth to 50 Goblin babies before her body gives out. The purple-haired adventurer can be found in the Hot Spring Town branch of the Adventurers' Guild.

Benetta can be seen sitting at the guild hall starting from the beginning of the game, but she can only be recruited once you reach a guild rank of 14 (i.e., when your rank beats hers).

It's not recommended that you spend too much effort to level her up, because she is unable to be recruited after the Rescue Ashley quest.

A fairy who lost her memories of her past. She is afraid of humans but feels safe with Nanako. After completing Crybaby Ghost, Nanako decides to help her regain her lost memories. She becomes recruitable at the VH Clan House.

Monsters like to target her!

Note: You can also get her in Hot Spring Town, if you say yes at the sign next to the lake on the right at the south entrance of the town (sets "0723: 妖精フラグ" (Fairy Flag) Variable to 21). When she joins your party, she will increase your dmg, defense, and exp gain. However, it seems to cause you to jump into the future (story progresses without you really knowing what is happening since the Onsen Town guild is empty and many are injured in bed underground [actually this is the end of the quest "Rescue Ashley"]). Additionally, if you look at your character stats in the menu, you will see that you have suddenly gained 10 Levels.

A single mother of two young boys who lives in a house just east of Hot Spring Town. She has placed a request with the Adventurers' Guild for a babysitter.

Has a guild request out for someone to babysit her sons.
