The Characters of the Story

Friends, enemies, and everything in between —
each carries secrets, stories, and scars
that shape Anne’s path through the magical forest.

Friends & Companions

Comrades, strangers, brave hearts —
they’ll take you farther than you ever imagined.

Anne

Oh, if only I were as strong as
Pippi Longstocking…
Pouchy

If you knew how much I’ve cried —
but who could hear me? I shouted, I screamed — but you just kept going your way.
Mom

Mr. Laptsev, I simply can’t believe it. Your game has had such a… I’d say… downright magical effect on Anne.
Nerod Laptsev

Farewell, Anne! And don’t forget:
everything is in your hands now!
Quirk & Boo

Allow me to introduce myself, young lady: at your service — Quirk, free spirit, dreamer, and poet.
Buzz the Fly

We flies are a free people — we don’t like to stay in one place for too long.
Grandpa Hedgehog

You’ll find it this time, little one,
I just know it! I can see it
in your eyes — you will find it!
Madam Owl

Ей така ми харесваш вече. Беля такава… червенокоса!
The Elves

Madam Diva, that was… magic.
For the first time in my life, I believed in what I was singing.
Big Sid

But I’m free, kiddo! I live in the only free country in the world, don’t I?
Engineer Ben

The time for idle talk is over, friends. Now it’s the cudgels’ turn.
Goliath the Invincible

It wasn’t enough that I’ve been overclocking my processors — now I have to endure a know-it-all too!
Peter

Th–The Ghost Forest.
So it… really exists.
Fido the Dwarf

No one’s ever messed with Fido and walked away unscathed. Those ghosts’ll get what’s coming.

Bullies, tyrants, fallen monsters –
they’ll stop at nothing to turn back time.

Heino

Old Heino may take his time, but he never forgets — everyone in the Forest knows that.
The Spider

Just let me catch you-ooouu! I’ll tear you to shreds, you insolent
little runt!
Maggie the Magpie

You can always make a deal with clever little children —
I know that much.
General Antolini

Even the gentlest flower must be crushed if it stands in the way of the great goal.
Major Zed

To the brig! Straight to the brig! First she must learn how to speak to a superior.
General Huba

This rabble has no respect for anything sacred, damn it!
Rats — nothing but rats!

Tricksters, opportunists, shifting and tragic figures –
they never stay the way they seem.

Mr. Rabbit

Get me two or three sacks of carrots, and I’ll show you
how to get out of here.
Justa Diva

When I start to sing, I can become anything I want.
The Queen Mother

Remember this, children:
hatred is our only enemy!
Mr. Eagle

I’ve told you a thousand times — well-mannered birds don’t play with
their food.
The Young Eagles

I’m Ollie, and this is my brother Ullie.
We’re inventors.
The Robber Gull

Things would be perfect if fish grew on trees, wouldn’t they?
Freddy the Scarecrow

Security expert. I’ve got twenty-five years of experience.
King Carpio IV

Bigger?
Nonsense — he was just taller,
that’s all!

Echoes, ruins, shattered souls –
they wait where your guilt still sleeps.

The Blind Bear

I want nothing to do with her!
I’d rather stay a ghost!
The Bald Doll

Someone will have to overcome the hatred. Otherwise, we’re all lost.
The Noseless Clown

Why not give it a shot? Things can’t exactly get any worse, can they?
The One-Legged Ballerina

So, the red-haired menace has finally made it to the Ghost Mansion.
The One-Legged Dinosaur

But I… not really.
I just wanted to scare her.
Octo

They call me Octo around here. Even though I’ve only got seven tentacles.
The Gorgons

Hsssssssssssh!
