Espoir (Sara Thomas/Kahoru Fujino): Cornet is the cheerful heroine of the game. She can sing, play the horn, and even talk to puppets; which most people cannot do. Cornet dreams of a passionate relationship and despises toads. She longs for a prince to sweep her off of her feet. Kururu (Jody Fleischer/Maria Kawamura): She is a puppet and Cornet's best friend. She follows Cornet throughout the game, often making humorous comments on her behavior. She likes cherries, and dislikes anything sour. Unlike other puppets, Kururu can move around on her own without the powers of Cornet's horn, and she can talk to other humans besides Cornet. She hides a deep secret, but for the better. Her weapon of choice is a paper fan (she is only playable in the DS version). Cherie (Jody Fleischer/Maria Kawamura): Cherie is Cornet's mother, who is said to have been killed in an accident many years prior to the start of the game. Ferdinand Marl E. (Josh Synard/Toshiyuki Morikawa): The prince, and soon to be king, of Marl Kingdom. He often sneaks out of the castle to hunt or visit the city. Cornet has dreamed of him her whole life and falls in love with him after a chance meeting in the forest. Etoile Rosenqueen (Jody Fleischer/Yuri Amano): She is Cornet's arrogant rival. Etoile often makes sarcastic remarks about Cornet. She is from a rich background and loves being the center of attention. Marjoly (Carrie Gordon Lowrey/Michie Tomizawa): Marjoly is a sexy witch who is the main antagonist of the game, but is hardly the typical evil mastermind bent on world domination. She lies about her age and often calls herself the most beautiful witch in the world. Marjoly is actually not very smart and her lackeys often insult her rather openly. Gao (Rachel Quaintanes/Yayoi Jinguji): Gao is one of Marjoly's lackeys. It is said that she has the strength to fight a dragon with her bare hands. Many characters mistake her for a man, including Cornet. Crowdia (Jody Fleischer/Miho Yamada): Crowdia is another of Marjoly's lackeys. She is very beautiful, but very narcissistic. She has large black wings, like a crow, and fights with a sword. Myao (Sara Thomas/Yukari Tamura): Myao is Marjoly's third lackey. She appears to be a child. She often acts childish and selfish, and she can cast powerful magic to summon dragons. Development Sohei Niikawa first developed the concept of
