To avoid spoilers, the list will be updated as the translation of the story progresses, e.g. when new characters are revealed or when the characters’ affiliations, titles and ranks change. If a character belongs to more than one affiliations below, I’ll put them under the more prominent or recent one. If there’s a second name, it’s their courtesy name (unless otherwise stated). If there’s someone whose name you want to know but is not in the list, feel free to drop a message!
I’ll tidy up this list someday _(:3」∠)_
