The game itself will, naturally, star a young female protagonist named Sophie Noienmuller. Sophie was designed by Noco and is voiced by Yuuka Aisaka. She is said to be a young girl who loves alchemy and runs an atelier on the outskirts of town. Another girl named Prafta will also play an important role and was designed by Yuugen and voiced by Yuka Iguchi. Apparently she sports silver hair and suffers from amnesia. The game will have a "Dollmake" function that will allow players to outfit her in cute costumes, using alchemy of course.
