Asumu Ushiromiya

Rudolf's first wife and Battler's mother. She died six years before the main story takes place. After her death, Rudolf remarried Kyrie, upsetting Battler and causing him to live with Asumu's family until nearly the beginning of the story. She is not, in fact, Battler's biological mother.

---

• Death by Origin Story
• Death of the Hypotenuse
• Doting Parent: According to Battler at least.
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: Despite being referred to more than several times in the game, concerning majorly the backstory of Battler's family, nobody knows what Asumu looks like. Most suspect that Ryukishi is not showing us what she looks like on purpose.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: EP4 states that Asumu shared Battler's fear of vehicles that shook around. EP6 gives the possibility that this was all a carefully cultivated ruse to get together with Rudolf.
• Yamato Nadeshiko: At least plays the role fine, as Kyrie complains.
• Yandere (If she did manipulate everyone in her surroundings, child-stealing included, to get Rudolf)
  • And then comes Episode 8, which says that she didn't switch the babies. Rudolf did.

The Man From 19 Years Ago

Voiced by: Daisuke Ono

"I don't want money. My wounds couldn't be healed with any amount of money. But there is a medicine. ... ...And that is... my hatred... my resentment towards you..."

First appears in the fifth arc, in the form of Harassing Phone Calls to Natsuhi, who had previously been his mother, until an unfortunate accident caused the servant carrying him when he was a baby to fall off a cliff. He apparently comes back, looking for revenge against her by framing her for the murders. The "man" is later revealed to be one of several possible interpretations for Yasu.

---

• Bastard Bastard
• Cast as a Mask: The person who voices the man in the Play Station 3 port is Daisuke Ono, Battler's voice actor. The man's true identity? Yasu, who acts in-universe as Beatrice (Sayaka Ohara), Shannon (Rie Kugimiya), Kanon (Yuu Kobayashi), and Lion (Ayako Kawasumi).
• Harassing Phone Call: Spends a decent amount of time calling simply to harangue and upset Natsuhi.
• Honor-Related Abuse: Natsuhi shoved the servant carrying him as a baby off a cliff because she felt the baby embodied her "failure" as a woman.
• I Can See You: Warns Natsuhi this if she planned to disobey his orders.
• Leitmotif: "Aoiro no Reishou" ("Deep Blue Jeering")
• Luke, You Are My Father: To Natsuhi.
• Orphan's Ordeal
  • The Resenter
• Parental Abandonment: At least twice while he was still a baby!
• Parental Incest: Maybe?
• Revenge by Proxy: His aim looks like this at first: some of his first few targets are Jessica and Krauss. But his goal is actually to frame Natsuhi for their murder, which is even worse.
• Unreliable Narrator: The solution that Battler comes up with for the fifth arc (eventually proven false) is that somehow, he is the man from 19 years ago and came back to Rokkenjima in order to frame Natsuhi for murder.
  • That doesn't stop Daisuke Ono from voicing the man in the Play Station 3 port.

Beatrice Castiglioni (Beatrice I)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara

The daughter of an Italian official, she is the very first Beatrice, whom Kinzo fell in love with. She had one daughter, who was also named Beatrice. However, she died in childbirth.

Beatrice Ushiromiya (Beatrice II)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara

"Everyone calls me Beatrice. That's apparently the name of a great witch. But that's not what I am. I'm just a human... Who am I? Why was I given life in this world? Will I live in this mansion my whole life?"

Kinzo's daughter with Beatrice Castiglioni. After her mother's death, Kinzo regarded this Beatrice as the former's reincarnation and eventually had a child with her. However, fairly soon after this, she fell off a cliff upon finally leaving the Kuwadorian mansion with a young Rosa. Her child would either be shoved off a cliff himself by Natsuhi or grow up to be Lion.

---

• But Not Too Foreign: Half Japanese, half Italian.
• Gilded Cage: Her stay in Kuwadorian.
• Hollywood Genetics: Blonde, Italian Beatrice Castiglioni and Japanese Kinzo give birth to a blonde child. Granted, Kinzo is shown as a White-Haired Pretty Boy, but given that Word of God states that the art doesn't necessarily reflect the true appearances of the characters, taking Kinzo to be a dark-haired Asian leads one squarely to this trope.
• Identical Grandson: She looks identical to Beatrice Castiglioni. Unfortunately, this causes problems...
• The Ingenue
• Leitmotif: A tune called "mother", appropriately enough.
• Lonely Funeral: After Kinzo discovered her death, she was buried without a proper funeral. Since no one knew of her existence, there was no need for anyone (save Kinzo) to have a funeral to sever their ties with her.
• The Lost Lenore
• Man Child: Due to having lived in Kuwadorian all her life, she's very sheltered.
• The Mistress
  • Parental Incest
• Rape and Revenge: Indirectly. Kinzo is quite likely to end up in ashes on the floor after a few minutes around Beatrice III, after all.
  • Reincarnation Romance: Rather perverted. Unless, of course, you want to buy into Kinzo's idea that she's Beatrice I's reincarnation.
• Posthumous Character
• Spirited Young Lady: Upper class, check. Outpoken and frank, check. Painfully naive, check.
