It is then that she realizes she has been reborn into the world of the otome game Fortune Lover as the game's villainess who, regardless of what route the player took in the original game, is doomed to be either exiled or killed. In order to avoid these routes that lead to doom, Catarina begins taking countermeasures. This, however, ends up having unexpected consequences on her relations with the other characters of the game's world. Characters[edit]Catarina Claes[a] (カタリナ・クラエス, Katarina Kuraesu, nicknamed "Bakarina" by fans[4])Voiced by: Maaya Uchida[5] (Japanese); Jeannie Tirado[6] (English)A 17-year-old high school student/otaku who has been reincarnated as the villain character of the game Fortune Lover after she was hit by car while heading to school. Having extensive knowledge of Fortune Lover, including the fact that all the routes in the game lead to either her exile or death, she takes drastic measures to avoid such outcomes, such as trying to establish good relationships with her peers and taking up gardening as a profession should her exile come to pass. Her kind nature leads to many of the other characters falling in love with her, but she is generally oblivious to their affections. She has been given the nickname of "Bakarina" by fans due to her obliviousness, using the Japanese word "baka" in place of the first few syllables in her name.[7]Geordo Stuart (ジオルド・スティアート, Jiorudo Sutiāto)[b]Voiced by: Shouta Aoi,[8] Asami Seto[8] (childhood) (Japanese); Griffin Burns[6] (English)A prince who became Catarina's fiancé after he inadvertently caused her to trip and injure herself, forcing him to take responsibility. In the game, Catarina uses this to her advantage to monopolize him for herself. In the good ending, he exiles Catarina and marries the protagonist, whilst the bad ending has him kill Catarina and abandoning the heroine due to guilt. Due to Catarina's continued efforts to better herself and avoid the bad endings, he now has developed genuine feelings for her and continuously tries to demonstrate his affection by confirming their engagement. However, it is overlooked by Catarina's dense persona, much to his chagrin.Keith Claes (キース・クラエス, Kīsu Kuraesu)Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara,[8] Sora Amamiya[8] (childhood) (Japanese); Griffin Puatu[6] (English)Catarina's adoptive brother and an earth magic prodigy. The son of a distant relative of Duke Claes, Catarina's father adopted him after her engagement with Geordo to continue the Claes family name. In the game, Catarina bullied him under the belief he was a bastard child of her father, causing him to grow up to become a womanizer. In the good ending, he has Catarina exiled and abandons his womanizing ways to be with the protagonist, whilst the bad ending has him kill his sister in a fit of rage before disappearing. To avoid these endings, Catarina goes out of her way to be a good sister to him, which does improve their relationship, but also saddles Keith with the thankless task of having to keep Catarina out of trouble, mostly to no avail.Alan Stuart (アラン・スティアート, Aran Sutiāto)Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki,[8] Mutsumi Tamura[8] (childhood) (Japanese); Bryce Papenbrook[6] (English)Geordo's twin brother and Mary's fiancé. He was jealous of his more talented brother, which made him into an introvert. In the game, Catarina actually does not appear in his path, as Mary serves as the rival character instead. After Catarina becomes friends with Mary, he became angered by how she is constantly ignoring him in favor of her. This causes him to challenge Catarina to a series of competitions, which she handily wins. Over time, however, he and Catarina become friends and his relationship with his brother also becomes better. While he has a crush on Catarina, he has yet to realize this due to Mary's interference.Nicol Ascart (ニコル・アスカルト, Nikoru Asukaruto)Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka,[8] M.A.O[8] (childhood) (Japanese); Nicolas Roye[6] (English)Geordo and Alan's childhood friend and Sophia's brother. He is considered handsome by all who see him, with a smile that can charm both males and females. Details regarding his story in the game are sparse, since Catarina never played his route. Not only this, but the main rival in his route is Sophia Ascart, his younger sister as he is quite overprotective of her. Despite this though, he seems to have developed a crush on Catarina after she got him to open up to her. Mary Hunt (メアリ・ハント, Meari Hanto)Voiced by: Miho Okasaki[9] (Japanese); Colleen O'Shaughnessey[6] (English)Alan's fiancée and the rival character during his path in the game. Despite this though, she generally has better fates than Catarina, with her staying together with Alan in the bad ending and peacefully rescinding her fiancée status in the good one. While she and Catarina had no relationship in the game, she became good friends with the current Catarina after the latter praised her garden. However, in the game, she fell in love with Alan after he praised her garden; therefore, since Catarina praised it first, it now seems like she has developed romantic feelings for her instead.Sophia Ascart (ソフィア・アスカルト, Sofia Asukaruto)Voiced by: Inori Minase[9] (Japanese); Kira Buckland[6] (English)Nicol's sister and the rival character during his path in the game, though details regarding her story are sparse since Catarina never played that route. She was considered cursed due to her silver hair and red eyes, causing her to live a life of isolation until she met Catarina and opened up to her because of Catarina's genuine compliments and offer to be her friend. It is eventually revealed that she is actually the reincarnation of Catarina's best friend during her previous life, Atsuko Sasaki (佐々木 敦子, Sasaki Atsuko).Maria Campbell (マリア・キャンベル, Maria Kyanberu)Voiced by: Saori Hayami[9] (Japanese); Melissa Fahn[6] (English)A girl who, in Fortune Lover, was the main protagonist and original bullying target for Catarina.

However, when a fire broke out in the mansion when Anne was 15, which killed her mother in the process, she was expelled after it was discovered she was scarred. She would later become Catarina's personal maid upon entering the Claes mansion.Millidiana ClaesVoiced by: Akiko HiramatsuEp. 1 creditsDuchess Millidiana Claes is Catarina's biological mother and Keith stepmother. In Fortune Lover, she was a cruel stepmother to Keith since she thought Keith was her husband's bastard child with a mistress. Thanks to Catarina, Millidiana learns that this is not the case, which made her fall in love with her husband again. She is dismayed with her daughter's wild and unladylike behavior since the latter is engaged to a prince. As a result, she would prefer Catarina break her engagement with Geordo to save the Claes family any more embarrassment.Luigi ClaesVoiced by: Takuto YokoyamaEp. 1 creditsDuke Luigi Claes is Catarina's biological father and Keith stepfather. After Catarina got engaged to Geordo, he adopted Keith, who was the bastard son of one of his relatives to continue the Claes family name.

He loves his brothers dearly and keeps a large collection of pictures of them in his room.

A master of disguise, she is also known as Larna Smith (ラーナ・スミス, Rāna Sumisu), the head of the Kingdom's Department of Magic.

He tends to be quiet and show a lack of feelings, which led to rumors that he is cold and is unhappy with his engagement to Selena.

The daughter of a prominent noble family with powerful magic, she was engaged to Ian as part of an arrangement between their families.

However, as they grew older and it was discovered Selena was actually weak in magic, people began to disapprove of her engagement to Ian, with even her parents thinking they should called off their engagement, causing Selena to be insecure about herself.Rufus Brode (ルーファス・ブロード, Rūfasu Burōdo) / Sora Smith (ソラ・スミス, Sora Sumisu)Voiced by: Kohsuke Toriumi[15] (Japanese); Kylen Deporter[14] (English)A butler seemingly under the employment of Selena, he is instead using her to kidnap Catarina and then take the fall later, eliminating the major competition for Geoffrey to become king.
