Curly Brace

Sue Sakamoto

A mimiga, but not. Sue originally came to the island with her brother Kazuma and her mother Momorin. She caught wind of the crown, and wanted to stop the doctor. However, Misery found her first and turned her into the mimiga she is now. She hopes one day that she can return to her natural form.

Kazuma Sakamoto

Professor Booster

Jenka

The Bad Guys
The Doctor

The doctor originally came with Kazuma's research group. He knew that the Demon Crown was located somewhere on the island and that it held unlimited power. Snatching it, he descended the island into vast chaos and scattered the research team along with Quote and Curly. His master plan is to now use the red flowers and mimigas to attack and take over the world. Misery and Balrog are his loyal minions.

Balrog

Faithful minion to the Doctor and Misery's underling, Balrog has the least power of the three. Nothing is known about him or his odd shape. While he may work for the Doctor, he really has a fair and kind heart.

Misery

Misery is the daughter of Jenka and also a very powerful witch. Her greed for the crown cursed her and Balrog and the two are now forced to follow the orders of whoever possesses the crown, whether they agree with it or not. She can only be freed from her duty if the Island is destroyed.

Ballos

The true evil behind the island. Ballos is Jenka's brother and quite possibly the most powerful sorceror in the world. He used to reside in a kingdom, where he was loved by all the people. However, the king became jealous of him, arrested him and tortured him until Ballos became insane and his powers went wild. In the blink of an eye, he destroyed the entire kingdom and everything he loved. Jenka, the only person powerful enough to stop him, sealed him in the island for eternity. His only wish is for someone to kill him.
