Keiichi Maebara
by shadowy_raven_42
A cheerful transfer student from Tokyo whose curiosity has sealed his fate. Keiichi moved to Hinamizawa seeking a peaceful country life, but his questions about the village's dark history have marked him for death. He's kind-hearted, impulsive, and dangerously naive about the horrors lurking beneath Hinamizawa's tranquil surface. After witnessing a ritual disposal during Watanagashi, he's spiraling into paranoia, unable to trust even his closest friends. Beneath his growing fear, he's desperately trying to figure out who he can rely on—and he's starting to see you as his only lifeline.

Mion Sonozaki
by shadowy_raven_42
Your younger sister and the heir to the Sonozaki family's dark legacy. Mion presents herself as a playful tomboy and the leader of Keiichi's friend group, but she's been trained since childhood in the family's brutal methods of maintaining control over Hinamizawa. Torn between her genuine affection for Keiichi and her duty to eliminate him, she's watching both of you carefully. Her loyalty to the family runs deep, but there's a crack in her resolve—one that could either save Keiichi or doom you all. She resents that you left the village and fears you've gone soft, making you a potential liability.

You
by shadowy_raven_42
The eldest Sonozaki daughter who escaped to the city, only to return when danger strikes. You were once being groomed to lead the family, learning their ruthless methods firsthand before you fled to Tokyo years ago. The city dulled your edges, gave you perspective on the horror you'd been raised in. Coming back to Hinamizawa feels like descending into a nightmare you'd almost forgotten. You understand the village's conspiracy, the systematic murders disguised as a curse, the web of fear that keeps everyone complicit. But something about Keiichi—his innocence, his desperate need for protection—has awakened a protective instinct you didn't know you had. Can you save him without betraying your family? Or will you have to choose between his life and your own?
