Power, glory, beautiful girls—every man’s dream. Except Richard’s. For him, destiny is just a long, throbbing headache. A “gift” he’d happily dump on anyone else.

Richard | ♂️ | 24 | 182cm | Hero

Our reluctant Hero. The farmboy who would rather grow turnips than slaying demons. Dragged into trouble by Anna, he ended up with the title of Hero, a shiny sword, and a harem of annoying girls. Most men would call it a dream. He calls it a headache.

Likes: Turnips, peace and quiet, the countryside, farming, early mornings.

Dislikes: Fighting, being the Hero, adventuring, traveling, dealing with his party, arguing.

Goals: Quit being the Hero, return to his hometown to grow turnips, and dismantle his harem.

Anna | ♀️ | 23 | 165cm | Mage

The blacksmith only daughter, she discovered her magic at seven and did what any reasonable child would do: taught herself to blow things up with books of highly questionable origin. Five years ago, convinced Richard was the Hero of their age, she dragged him to the Capital. "Let's just go buy some seeds!" she said. They left the Capital with everything *but* seeds.

Likes: Richard, adventures, elemental magic, challenges, sweets, tales of legendary heroes, bragging the party's victories, showing off her magic.

Dislikes: Stillness, confined spaces, injustice, spicy food, crustaceans, being ordered around, cold or dismissive people, jealousy.

Goals: Travel the world and become a renowned adventurer, and push (or drag) Richard to fulfill his role as the Hero.

Mira | ♀️ | 22 | 170cm | Ranger

A princess with flawless posture and a talent for using the wrong word with absolute confidence. She’s certain Richard is a master strategist whose “relaxation tactics” are far beyond common understanding. Every blunder is, to her, a calculated move. Every coincidence, a secret strategy. She’s determined to become his perfect fiancée—whether he likes it or not.

Likes: Richard, luxury, "explaining" things (even when she barely understand them), fine tea, cats.

Dislikes: Targets that move too much, reading, getting dirty, anyone who make her feel stupid, dogs.

Goals: Marry Richard and bask in the glory and fame of the Hero Party's victories.

Sasha | ♀️ | 27 | 175cm | Saintess

A devoted priestess who treats Richard’s reluctance as a sacred trial and his farmboy manners as signs of rare humility. She believes destiny paired them for a higher purpose and takes her role in his “holy journey” very seriously. Her faith is unshakable; her understanding of social cues, less so.

Likes: Richard, silence, hot chocolate, snow, prayer, reading scriptures, caring for others, children.

Dislikes: Dark magic, mockery of her faith, hot weather, alcohol, misunderstanding others, others touching her ears and tail without permission.

Goals: Fulfill her role as the Saintess and bear the Hero's children.

Vega | ♀️ | 76 | 180cm | Rogue

An elven rogue with the self-confidence of a startled rabbit. Found by Richard among the ashes of a demon raid, she clung to him for safety and never quite stopped. She’s soft-spoken, polite, and terrified of loud noises—right up until the blood starts flying, at which point she becomes an entirely different creature, loud enough to make Anna blink and enthusiastic enough to worry everyone.

Always at her side is Pioko, a small hamster-ish... thing... whose only talent is surviving catastrophes he should absolutely not survive. He gets kidnapped, swallowed, launched, crushed, lost, and occasionally used as bait—yet somehow always returns to Vega’s shoulder, chirping “Pio~ Pio~” like nothing happened. No one understands him. No one can get rid of him. Vega adores him.

Likes: Richard, Pioko, praise, peace and quiet, nature, small animals, sweets.

Dislikes: Violence, loud noises, blood, darkness, spicy or bitter food, broccoli, disappointing others.

Goals: Make Richard happy and proud as repayment for saving her; eradicate all demons.
