This is a list of minor characters that have appeared or are mentioned in passing in Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep, including its song, light novel, or other related media.

Aai Freezis
Aai Freezis was the executive director of the Freezis Foundation and the grandniece of Shaw Freezis. Aai was born the daughter of one of Shaw's sisters' children during the 6th century EC. Born some time in the 6th century EC, Aai joined the Freezis Foundation and helped develop her grandfather's massive business conglomerate. Following the discovery of Maistia in EC 592, Aai worked to expand the foundation's business into the "New World". After her grandfather's death, the elderly woman was selected to become the new foundation president in November of EC 609.

Afterward, Aai charged Bruno with handling the foundation's Evillious affairs while Nob was charged with overseeing the development of the New World. Over time, Aai witnessed the two vice presidents argued over the foundation's policy repeatedly. Later on, Aai was scheduled to join Nob and Bruno with meeting the Lucifenian government at the palace's Hall of Sounds to discuss the New World's criminal activity before having a formal dinner in the Hall of Mirrors afterward.

After arriving at the port town to Lucifenian in the afternoon of May 23, the three boarded a carriage and went to the Lucifenian Palace, entering the Hall of Sounds ten minutes before the meeting began. Aai immediately greeted Luifenian President Julia Abelard while the two embraced. Once they were all seated and the meeting began, the talks continued for two and a half hours before finally ending. As the other officials all rose from their seats, Julia told Bruno and Nob to wait a little while since there was some time before the dinner. As Aai prepared to leave the room to change for the soiree, a Justea unit burst into the room.

Surprised, they listened while Officer Willus Zorach argued with Bruno over allegedly pressuring the International Works Department to send them home. Afterwards, Willus explained to the assembly that Nob's life was being targeted, upsetting Aai. When Willus confirmed they had been secretly investigating Bruno and asked the foundation president about the friction between Bruno and Nob regarding the foundation's policies, Aai admitted he spoke the truth before pointing out that Bruno should need more of a reason to target Nob's life.

She then listened while the officer revealing Bruno had been sending manpower to Maistia despite the New World being under Nob's jurisdiction. Willus then described that Bruno's actions were seemingly an attempt to take over Nob's projects, something that would only be possible if he was expecting the fellow vice president to be no more. As the investigator explained Bruno's movements to Lucifenia and Elphegort were also suspicious, pointing out he had visited President Julia beforehand several times before adding that he had also been visiting the site of the black market Nob as attempting to eradicate, he admitted they believed Bruno was connected to Père Noël and considered Nob a threat to the organization.

After the outraged Bruno argued they had no evidence, the Justea officer pointed out they had proof for a separate matter. Officer Ayn Anchor then related Bruno's suspicious disappearance during the same time fugitive Kaidor Blankenheim had gone missing to the assembly, revealing the evidence that Père Noël's "Seventh Magician" had changed Kaidor's face to that of the real Bruno. After the officer asked Bruno to remove his shirt to confirm whether he had Kaidor's distinct twin dragon tattoo on his back, Aai and the others watched the downcast foundation executive remain silent. After Kaidor was arrested for his alleged crimes, the outraged Aai and Nob grew suspicious of President Julia's earlier meetings with Bruno, demanding she resign from office.

Ayn (grandfather)
Ayn was the first commissioner of the World Police and the grandfather of Ayn Anchor. Abandoned as a child at the Held Monastery in Lucifenia, the boy was taken in by one of the nuns, Clarith, and named "Ayn". A member of the Netsuma Clan, he was raised along with the other orphans and eventually became a police officer. At some point, Ayn married and had a family.

Born a member of the Marlon family, he eventually earned the position of chief aide to Shaw Freezis and adopted the name "Bruno" as per the Foundation's custom. In EC 597, Bruno visited the Lucifenian Republic and was secretly killed by Kaidor Blankenheim. Afterward, Kaidor brought his severed head to Seventh Magician. Using the Venom Sword, Seventh Magician changed Kaidor's face to resemble Bruno's and the criminal adopted the chief aide's identity for many years. He was described as having the blue hair of his family and a beard.

Calgaround (daughter)
The daughter of an Earl of Calgaround and a member of the Calgaround family.

An Earl of Calgaround and a member of the Calgaround family. Born in Calgaround towards the end of the third century EC, he eventually became the head of the family and inherited its title as Earl. At some point, he married and had a daughter. After his young daughter ran away from home during the early EC 300s, the Earl posted a reward for any information on her whereabouts across Calgaround. Around August of EC 325, the girl returned home and the Earl gladly accepted her back into the family.

Chansioux
Chansioux was a Netsuma adopted by Ton Corpa. Born sometime during the 6th century EC, the young girl displayed her amazing singing talent to Ton and was soon after adopted by the corporate manager. Afterward, the child traveled with Ton to the city of Rollam in Lucifenia to have her face changed by Seventh Magician to hide her Netsuma heritage and avoid discrimination. After they discovered Seventh Magician's shop had closed, the two returned to his mansion in Rolled. Ton later decided to have Chansioux sing behind the scenes while his current diva, Rin Chan, lip-synced onstage.

Living at Corpa's mansion in Rolled, Chansioux attended all of Rin's concerts, hiding backstage and singing in the diva's place. On August 17, Chansioux followed Rin to the Lucifenian Palace for President Julia Abelard's inauguration party. During the event, she sang three songs. A few days later, the Netsuma traveled to Asmodean and secretly performed at Rin's concert once again. Afterward, the duo went to Elphegort's capital city of Aceid on September 1. On September 10, Chansioux performed at its Central Theater, singing thirty-nine songs with two encores.

After they returned home to Rolled mid-September, rumors began spreading about Rin Chan lip-syncing from an alleged former manager. Afterward, Chansioux was locked in the basement and Ton later murdered the Netsuma to remove the evidence of the scandal. After Chansioux's death, Ton attempted to kill Rin as well before being murdered himself by her childhood friend, Lemy.

Born as a member of the Freezis Family, Dashaw attended a business meeting with Hanne in the town of Lioness in EC 597. During the event, the town was suddenly swept up in flames. Seeing the fire reaching the oblivious Hanne, Dashaw swiftly protected the woman and became consumed by the fire instead. As his entire body burned, the man saw Hanne was safe and gave her a warm smile. Shortly afterward, he died. He is possibly represented by the Voiceroid Tsukuyomi Shouta.

Eleanor was one of Kaspar Blankenheim's many mistresses. Born toward the end of the 6th century EC, the Elphe later dyed her hair blonde and became a mistress for Marquis Kaspar. Becoming his favorite, she continuously visited his mansion through EC 609, showered with gifts from the affluent Marquis, and often had intercourse with him. On August 30, during the night of Kaspar's 21st birthday, the man shared some of his wife Margarita's bread with trauben jam with Eleanor, and they both ate the treat. Unknowingly poisoned, the mistress died in bed with Kaspar shortly after.

Following the arrest of Kaidor Blankenheim on May 23, EC 610 for impersonating Freezis Foundation Executive Bruno Marlon and allegedly collaborating with Père Noël, the politician became suspicious of President Julia Abelard's frequent meetings with "Bruno" at her mansion in Rolled.

Afterwards, Elman led the opposition against Julia's shady presidency, strongly requesting the woman resign from office. At night on October 2, Elman was walking through the streets of Rolled when he encountered Fifth Pierrot on the city's 11th Block. The congressman was then stabbed to death by the assassin. His corpse was later discovered at the murder scene.

On January 4, EC 610, the woman received a customer at around 11:00 at night. She later encountered Fifth Pierrot in 28th Block around 2:00 in the morning. Terrified by the assassin's clown get-up, Eloise was cornered and violently stabbed in the chest, dying shortly after. During the following day, the World Police and Justea Investigators Ayn Anchor and Willus Black examined the crime scene.

Fifth Pierrot
Fifth Pierrot was an assassin for Père Noël. Born sometime during the EC 500s, the man eventually joined the criminal organization Père Noël during the turn of the seventh century EC. Dubbed "Fifth Pierrot", he was charged with assassination missions for the organization by First Santa Claus, wearing a clown outfit and makeup as his disguise. As the years progressed, the assassin killed numerous targets for Père Noël, becoming infamous. At some point, he killed a member of the Nicole family.

In EC 606, First Santa Claus tasked Pierrot with murdering a target at the circus performance held at the newly constructed Milanais Theater in Rolled. Infiltrating the theater, he prepared to assassinate the target when a lion suddenly mauled a child wild tamer to death backstage. Caught off-guard, the assassin quickly fled the scene and was chased by an undercover officer in a clown costume. Fleeing through the Rolled city streets, Pierrot eventually evaded the officer and escaped.

In EC 607, Fifth Pierrot was cornered and shot by Justea officer Willus Zorach, dying of his injuries. Following his demise, Sixth Venom replaced him as the interim head of assassinations until Lemy Abelard joined the organization, replacing the former killer as Fifth Pierrot. Fifth Pierrot was an efficient and dangerous assassin. Though skilled at throwing knives, he utilized the weapons for diversions or maiming targets, instead using a different weapon for the killing blow.

Gilbert Calgaround
Gilbert Calgaround was the Earl of Calgaround, Elphegort, and the husband of Mikulia. Born in Calgaround in EC 118, Gilbert eventually became the head of the Calgaround family and inherited its title as the seventh Earl. Around EC 141, Earl Calgaround met with the new and popular florist in town, Mikulia Greeonio, and instantly fell in love with her.

Sometime after, the two entered a romance and were blessed with the townspeople to have long and happy lives together. Afterward, the two got engaged and later married each other in EC 147. Gilbert later posed with his wife for a portrait by Prime Minister Gumina Glassred. In EC 151, Earl Calgaround was poisoned by Mikulia with Gift and died soon after. After his death, it was determined he had died of an unknown illness.

In the years that followed, tales were passed down that he was possibly poisoned, connecting his death to the two other mysterious deaths believed to be perpetrated by Mikulia. A short story inspired by the tales of Gilbert and Mikulia entitled "Flower of the Plateau" was written by Yukina Freezis and became among the Lost List of Freezis Fairy Tales. The folklore surrounding Gilbert and his wife later prompted Hanne Lorre to investigate Calgaround to understand the truth about Mikulia.

Greeonio (son)
The son of Mikulia Greeonio and one of Mikulia Calgaround's victims. The boy was born in Abito, Asmodean in the Beelzenian Empire in EC 137.

Around EC 150, the boy learned his alleged mother was in Calgaround and traveled to the town, claiming that Countess Calgaround was actually his mother. Soon after, the boy was killed by the fake Mikulia.

Afterwards, his body was disposed of in a nearby well and was never discovered during her lifetime. Sometime later, the boy's unidentified remains were found in the well by the residents of Calgaround and the tales of Mikulia's alleged murders became folklore among the residents. Yukina Freezis later wrote a Freezis Fairy Tale inspired by the legends concerning the boy and Mikulia, entitled "Flower of the Plateau". Elluka Clockworker later discovered the truth behind the child's death, determining the real Mikulia couldn't have had more children like him after her young death.

During the middle of the night on February 13, EC 610, Elluka summoned Jacqueline into the room she was in. Entering, the woman was hypnotized into believing she was the only one there and asked what was the request. Elluka replied she was thirsty and wanted her to bring her water. Jacqueline acquiesced and began to leave when the brothel owner told her to wait and chastised her for not properly greeting their guests. Surprised, Jacqueline fervently looked around the room and saw no one. The confused prostitute admitted the apparent fact to the brothel owner and asked what her madam was talking about.

Born sometime during the 6th century EC, Qyoichi joined the World Police and eventually became an investigator for the International Works Department. After Justea was ordered to terminate the Rolled Murders case by Bruno Marlon in May of EC 610, Chief Hob Homer ordered Qyoichi to covertly investigate the Freezis Foundation vice president and his apparent connection to the criminal organization Père Noël.

During the following investigation, Qyoichi discovered Bruno was scheduled to appear at a meeting with the Lucifenian government along with Executive Director Aai Freezis and fellow vice president Nob Nicole on May 23 in correlation with the time the Justea unit in Rolled was expected to abort and return to the Marlon Headquarters. He then forwarded the information to Investigators Willus Black and Ayn Anchor in Rolled before continuing with his investigation into Bruno.

Afterwards, the Qyoichi discovered Bruno and Nob were at odds with how to manage the foundation and that Bruno had been secretly sending men over to the Maistia continent over the past month; confirming Bruno's actions were in violation of Nob's jursidiction over the New World's development and done without his knowledge. Around that time, the investigator also tracked Bruno's movements to Lucifenia and Elphegort.

Discovering he was frequently meeting with Lucifenian President Julia Abelard and visiting the site of the black market in Elphegort, Qyoichi relayed all the details of his findings to Willus once he returned to headquarters later that week and the investigators deduced Bruno was planning to have Père Noël assassinate Nob during the meeting in Lucifenia and take over his operations.

Unknown Coachman
A coachman that worked from Toragay and the son of the innkeeper, Brigitta. In September of EC 609, the coachman carried the reporter Hanne Lorre into Calgaround from Aceid to meet with the mayor of the city, Julia Abelard. Waiting outside the Calgaround mansion, the coachman waited until Hanne emerged and took her to the library, where he again stayed by the entrance. Seeing her come back after a short while, he asked if she was leaving already and was told urgent business called her elsewhere. Remarking that he didn't have many patrons in Calgaround anyway, the coachman asked her if he was returning to Aceid; Hanne told him her destination was Toragay, and he brought her into the city.

Weeks later, the coachman took Hanne Lorre into Lucifenia, bringing her to the Rogzé household in its capital and waiting outside. When the reporter reemerged, he asked her where to go next and she answered to Aceid. Driving her into the city, the coachman woke Hanne after they arrived at her home in the North District. Some time later, he took a customer all the way to Rolled; on his way home, he encountered two children, unknowingly Rin Chan and Lemy Abelard. After informing them he was on his way home to Toragay and being paid to take them to Aceid, he took the job and carried the two to an inn in the Northern District.

After dropping them off, he accepted the boy's fare and agreed to return in the evening to carry them again, telling the children that long-distance customers were welcome. Returning to the spot he'd dropped them off at, the coachman greeted the children on sight and cheerfully asked where their next destination was. Told by the boy that they'd get off at one of the checkpoints near Calgaround, the coachman agreed and cheerfully took them to Toragay in his carriage.

After arriving in the city, he explained that they could get off at one of the checkpoints northeast from there. Passing by his mother's inn, he caught sight of Hanne Lorre and stopped the carriage, calling out to her and asking how her work was going. After Hanne replied and asked if his work had ended, the man replied that he had some guests to take from the checkpoints. Telling Hanne to speak up if she needed anything, the man started up the carriage and continued on his journey.

While driving, he relayed to the children that things had gotten dangerous lately, citing the death of the lord of the town, Kaspar Blankenheim, and explained how the woman he spoke to was investigating the matter. He also spoke about the death of Ton Corpa being investigated by the police before apologizing for talking about something so uninteresting. He then dropped his charges off as promised.

In November, during the epidemic plaguing Toragay, the coachman went out of town and attempted to return, only to be blocked by the World Police's quarantine. Demanding to know why he couldn't go through as a resident of Toragay, the man was told that Toragay was suffering from the epidemic and no one was allowed through it. Claiming that was all the more reason to do inside, the coachman insisted his mother was in the city and that he wouldn't leave her for dead. When the police continued to refuse, he asked if they were going to let innocents die and cursed as the policemen claimed they had no choice.

Crying out, the coachman feebly attacked the policeman and the other officers prepared to arrest him, only to be stopped with Gumillia's fireworks gun. Surprised, the coachman caught sight of her and recognized the girl as Heidemarie. Sitting stunned, he watched as she and Elluka dispatched the officers and then took him away from the site, watching the sorceress' face intently.

After leaving the police behind, the coachman exclaimed the woman was Hanne Lorre, asking if she'd dyed her hair and then noting her eyes also appeared different. After the sorceress brushed the question aside and noted it was impossible to enter Toragay, the coachman repeated that his mother was there and was told that Brigitta was likely already infected, but that there was a way to solve it. Asked if he would leave her, the coachman replied he would cooperate if it meant saving his mother and asked her what he could do for her.

Elluka then asked the coachman if he take them to Calgaround through the mountain trail, and the man replied that there was a better path around the east of the mountain that only a veteran coachman like him would know of. Taking them to Calgaround through this route, the man delivered the two mages to the Calgaround mansion and waited at the entrance to the town. Some time later, he saw Gumillia return with Elluka suffering a serious injury, and rushed them to the hospital in Aceid.

After Elluka had sufficiently recovered, the coachman took them back to Toragay and, no longer impeded by the barricade, rushed to his home. Not finding his mother, the man searched through the neighborhood and noticed there were less bodies than expected of the death tool. He then went back to the entrance of the city and called out to Elluka and Gumillia as they were about to leave. Asked how his search went, the coachman told them how there was no one there in his house or otherwise.

As the mages were alerted to Blankenheim manor, the coachman followed them inside and caught sight of his mother in the crowd. Crying out and running to her, the man fell to his feet and hugged Brigitta, crying and speaking of how he had been worried it was hopeless. He then left the mansion with his mother and the other survivors. He then continued to live in Toragay with his mother, watching as she helped to bring liveliness back to the ruined town.

In January of EC 611, the coachman was approached by Hanne Lorre and Heidemarie, the two asking him to take them to Toragay once more. As he carried them, he noticed the former scowling the entire way and became uncomfortable with the tension, deciding to speak as he passed the checkpoint. The man mused how it had been a long time since seeing them both and, once asked about his mother, related how she was trying to revive Toragay with the other survivors. He then continued on driving as the conversation died and the two sisters talked amongst themselves.

When suddenly a man in a military uniform arrived on the highway in front of the carriage, the coachman hurriedly tried to stop the horse, only for the carriage to come to a complete stop when the military man decapitated it. Fainting at the sight, he later reawakened and was given silver by Hanne as an apology for his trouble. After he reassured her he could use the money to purchase a new horse, he called the police and was able to get a horse from the farmers in the area after Hanne and Heidemarie left. He then returned to his occupation after Gast was taken into police custody.

Unknown Procurer
A proprietor of a brothel in Lasaland, Asmodean, and one of Mikulia Calgaround's victims. At some point he oversaw Mikulia Greeonio's entrance into the Lasaland brothel after the Venomania Event, collecting the money she earned from prostitution before she abandoned both him and her child. Around EC 147, he traveled to Calgaround and arrived in town the day before Mikulia's engagement to a noble. He was soon after killed by Mikulia for being a link to her past.

Afterwards, his body was disposed of in a nearby well to hide her crime and was never discovered in her lifetime. Sometime later, the man's unidentified remains were found in the well by the residents of Calgaround and the tales of Mikulia's alleged murders became folklore among the townspeople. Yukina Freezis later wrote a Freezis Fairy Tale inspired by the legends concerning the boy and Mikulia, entitled "Flower of the Plateau".

The man was an obscene, beastly, and unpleasant person, leeching off the women he oversaw without any apparent care for their well-being. Complementing his disgusting personality, he is described as ugly and had a corpulent figure.

Yarera III
Yarera III was a criminal living in the Lucifenian Republic and the elder brother of Zusco Jr. Born sometime during the 6th century EC, the child was given the name of his father and grandfather. Becoming a thug along with his younger brother, Zusco Jr., Yarera III scrounged to make a living for himself. In EC 606, the brothers hid in a dark alley nearing 1st Block and waited to kidnap a rich aristocrat to sell for a hefty ransom while they returned home from the circus showing at Milanais Theater.

After a curious, finely-dressed boy wandered by the alleyway, Yarera grabbed his left shoulder and dragged him into the shadows of the alley, laughing and declaring he got a big shot. While laughing again, Zusco Jr. confirmed he was Senator Julia Abelard's son. As his younger brother mused that the boy would make for a handsome ransom, Yarera III agreed, saying that Père Noël were now stopping in their area otherwise.

He then continued that they were taking up everything and that it was hard for them to get something to eat, stating that the boy would let them get some good alcohol after so long. Soon after, the man pulled Lemy by the arm. Seeing him struggle violently, Yarera told the boy to keep quiet, grabbing the boy's right arm and bringing him towards him. When the Abelard kid insulted his name, Yarera III became angered at the provocation, explaining that he inherited it from his dead grandfather.

He then punched the boy in the cheek, telling him to be quiet. Zusco then chastised Yarera, saying it was bad to harm the hostage. Yarera replied that he knew that, stating that he just wanted to keep him quiet. Commenting that the boy didn't seem to know nor sympathize, Yarera swung up his fist before hearing a voice telling him to get his hands off the child. Yarera's eyes then turned towards a young man further down the alley.

Noticing he was dressed as a clown, Yarera wondered aloud what a pierrot was doing in a place like that. After hearing Zusco's attempt at intimidating the youth, Yarera witnessed his partner lunge at the clown before quickly being slammed to the ground and fainting shortly after. Cursing at him, Yarera moved back as the pierrot took Zusco's knife and started moving towards him.

The clown then told him that he was very busy, and repeated his words earlier, commanding him to release Lemy. Finally recognizing him as Fifth Pierrot, Yarera listened as the pierrot repeated his words a second time before releasing the boy. Taking his unconscious brother's body, Yarera III fled. Yarera III was described as being a large man and having a bearded face.

Zorach (grandfather)
The head of the Zorach Family and the grandfather of Willus. Born sometime during the sixth century EC, the boy was raised to become the Zorachs' next family head, taught about the family history and his duty to live in the facility deep beneath Castle Hedgehog and safeguard the Freezis devices along with the other Leviantan relics left by the gods until receiving the deities' message. At some point, he met and fell in love with a woman named Angela. Later on, the two promised to get married should they both be alive when the Zorachs' duty was complete. At some point, he sired a son.

Following the death of the previous family head, the new head of the Zorach family moved into the facility and continued safeguarding the ancient technology there; during the period, Angela repeatedly visited him and the two shared tea and converse. After his son sired a child of his own, Willus, the aging Zorach helped raise the boy and teach him the family duty. At some point, the man's young son died and Willus repeatedly visited his grandfather over the years while living his own life outside. When Willus later took out one of the facility's broken guns, the family head permitted his grandson to use it so long as it was for good.

On January 30, EC 611, the Zorach noticed one of the devices deliver a message from a god, ordering him to terminate the Freezises. Realizing the family's duty was finally over, he contacted Angela to pick him up so they could finally live together and marry. When Willus came by later that day, the revitalized man told his grandson about what the "divine revelation" while reexamining the message. The Justea officer then questioned which Freezes he referred to and the old man clarified he obviously referred to the devices and not the family, pointing at the machines. After his grandson agreed to the arrangement, the family head pressed the four buttons to select the remaining Freezis devices and pulled the level to shut them down, killing the babies.

He then asserted they wouldn't be able to return again and advised his grandchild to take whatever he needed. Willus answered he only needed his gun while displaying the relic to the patriarch before asking what happened to the facility specifically. Once he explained that it would sink into the lava below and be immolated, Willus inquired where he was heading afterward. As he offered to have him live with him and his family, the old Zorach declined, citing he didn't want to intrude on his family, and related his plans to live with Angela.

Willus recalled the woman and his grandfather immediately revealed his plans to marry her. When his shocked grandchild asked when that occurred, the old man laughed and admitted the revelation was a burden off his shoulders too, noting he could finally enjoy the rest of his life. Willus inquired if he could still visit him every so often and the old man confirmed he could. Afterward, the two exited the facility and headed above ground. Once they exited the castle tower, the Zorach elder met up with Angela and the lovers departed together.

Zusco Jr.
Zusco Jr. was a criminal living in the Lucifenian Republic the younger brother of Yarera III. Born sometime during the 6th century EC, the child was given the name of his granduncle. Becoming a thug along with elder brother, Yarera III, Zusco Jr. scrounged to make a living for himself. In EC 606, the brothers hid in a dark alley nearing 1st Block and waited to kidnap a rich aristocrat to sell for a hefty ransom while they returned home from the circus showing at Milanais Theater.

Once Yarera grabbed a passing boy, Zusco exclaimed that he was Senator Julia Abelard's son, and that he would make for a hefty ransom. Yarera agreed. When his brother then struck the boy to silence him, Zusco Jr. chastised his partner, telling him not to harm the hostage. He then heard a voice, noticing it came from a man dressed as a clown further down the alley.

Asking him if he had wandered from the circus, Zusco then told him he was going to have fun being torn apart by the great Zusco Jr. He then pulled out a knife and lunged at the pierrot before being slammed into the ground and hitting his head. Remarking on the clown's speed, Zusco fainted. Zusco was described as being smaller and more slender than the imposing Yarera III.
