Alice Starbrand: Alric's older sister who's an alchemist studying artificial lifeforms. She helped the t(aaa)skforce with the gardenia homunculi situation by testifying in court as Herself (Bananice Agnus).
She currently lives with Garter and Denia (see employees) at her and Alric's apartment (that he does not live in right now) I Guess. She's the only person who knows Vesper's identity besides Thyme and Kon.
Biscoff: Arial's engineer friend from college. They're really good at selling and forging shit, and helped Arial sell the can of homunculi blood for big money. Dating Meringue.
Meringue: Arial's lawyer friend from college. Represented Petaldive in court as a defense attourney. Dating Biscoff.
Lanter: A lich who is one of Thyme's dads and Gardenia's gay best friend. They always tear each other a new asshole and Gardenia claims she hates him,
but also they have book club together <3 He's the author of a lot of books, but unfortunately the shitty ones he wrote as a joke
ended up being the most popular with a bunch of unironic fans so now he has to keep writing them for money </3
Lucida New Roman: Co-owner and bartender of the Sexi Deli bar, Arial's mom, and Alric's sorta kinda mother figure friend (except she doesn't know that he's Alric right now).
Was personally invited to Gardenia's welcoming ball by Gardenia herself. Now that Arial's sent her like 10,000,000,000 credits, she never has to worry about money ever again.
material gworl <3
Durayin Agnus: Famed archmage, Kon's friend, and Alric's grandpa. He and Kon studied magic together 7 years ago while Kon was still a part of the peerage system,
and have been penpals since. He often mentioned a specific "grandson" who sounded pretty batshit, and Kon recently realized said grandson was Alric.
Alric did his mage apprenticeship under Durayin, but works anonymously under the guise of "wanting to make a name for himself".
He had no idea Kon and his grandparents were friends until Kon tried introducing them to each other. He also owes Thyme a ridiculous amount of money, and
had Alric pay it in his stead. He didn't know Kon, Thyme, and Alric all knew each other but he does now! He tends to show up late to things and gets along with everybody.
Anthe Agnus: Durayin's partner, Alric's grandpa, and Kon's acquaintance. He's a well-renowned pyrotechnician, and Kon commissioned him to make the coolest fireworks show ever
for Gardenia's welcoming ball because he knows Alric loves fireworks. He didn't realize Alric did his pyrotechnician apprenticeship under Anthe himself
(Thyme already knew though and just didn't say anything lmao) but Alric told him later that night (and that's when Kon realized Durayin and Anthe were his grandparents!) Anthe
tends to come off as a bit intimidating or suspicious because of his large presence (that's where Alric gets it from <3) but he's really sweet. He's pretending to be a
Tiefling but he's actually a Devil (the only people who know are his family, Thyme, and now Kon).
Gully: A former child actress turned streamer/microinfluencer who is allegedly Aglet's girlfriend and is determined to bring her back from her "mental health break" (and also their relationship break?).
Aglet doesn't remember her at all and Gully thinks she's just playing hard to get. Also she calls Aglet shoe-shoe.
Lilac Serif Swan: A 6 year old business person who recently recruited Arial as her newest Business Associate, and is excited to finally
have her older half-sister in her life (she wants them to have a family business <3). She's the daughter of Sans Serif (Arial's dad who disowned her) and
Snowdrop Swan (A Devil who works in Businey), and is the current heir to the Serif Conglomerate. She loves grapes and collecting business cards (just like Arial used to)!
Zack: Alric's best friend forever who recently resurfaced (from his grave). He was previously in ~astral jail~ because he took a huge bite (literally) out of the
Raven Queen's forces, and because he's one of the few sentient ghouls in existence. But it's ok because now he works for her and is on ~astral parole~.
He worked the bar at Gardenia's welcoming party because he "accidentally" ate the original bartender (and he didn't even get paid -_-). He's staying at the
t(aaa)skforce's apartment while he visits.
Lemon: Daughter of Alric, Kon, and Thyme. The rules of the universe have a weak hold on her bc she's part "whatever the fuck Thyme is"
and has Alric's hubris and curiosity (this ones worse tbh).
Kon and Alric suppressed their memories of meeting her because they thought it was weird to find out that in some versions of the future
they get married and have a kid, when at this point in time they barely started dating. No spoilers!!1!!!1
Awoobin: Dire wolf that Aglet gave Alric's Philter of Love Potion to because she wanted
a doggy. They are the most beautiful animal in the forest and a proud + honest creature. Loves Aglet, tolerates Arial, and thinks
Alric is the fugliest creature ever because he doesn't pamper them. (edit: at this point Awoobin thinks Arial is the fugly slut
for taking up so much of Aglet's time, and Alric started being nicer when he found out Awoobin has healing spit)
Basically a massive, untrained dog who shits in the T(aaa)skforce's apartment. (edit: NOW SEMI-TRAINED! thanks thyme <3)
Rimiel: A Paradiso employee who helped the T(aaa)skforce save their snowsports instructor.
They were apparently trying to investigate their friend's dad while they were there, but there were no dilfs on the premises :( bummer
Metalhead Morby: Former gladiator who died in the heat of battle and ended up possessing an animatronic caracal mascot.
He ended up being one of the animatronics who went haywire at Petaldive Jr. but Arial was able to save everyone with her Fighting Spirit.
Morby was so impressed that he granted her the gift of barbarian rage and now follows her around in spirit form (their souls are actually fused now).
