Protagonists •
Noa: a Sky Doll with a mysterious destiny who seems to have some connection with the banned Agape. Unlike the other mechanized dolls, she possesses an oscillating personality and powers yet to be discovered. She has no problems making friends with Roy, but seems to have a bit more trouble with Jahu. •
Roy: a young idealist and papal emissary. At first beginning the mission with enthusiasm, the trials of their journey may transform him into a cynical and rebellious individual. •
Jahu: long-time servant of the Lodovic system, Jahu has a history of ambition, despite his demonstration of humanity by admitting his betrayal to Roy.
Religious Figures •
Lodovica: the power-mad ruler who strives to keep the faith of the populace through any means possible, whether by creating the illusion of divine power or by distracting them with the erotica of the Sky Dolls. •
Agape: the representation of spiritual love, whose very memory Lodovica seeks to erase forever. •
The Miracolatore (the Miracle Genie): the genius behind the miracles of Lodovica, which are in reality little more than a television show for an impressionable audience. All the bishops and high priests are convinced he exists only to glorify their leader, but in reality he is a fervent supporter of Agape and waits for the day when Agape's rebels will come out of the underground and overthrow the government. •
Gaia: the spiritual leader of a population consisting entirely of the female sex, the denizens of the Aqua planet. She is the foundation of a religion that is expanding at high velocity all over the galaxy (allusions are drawn to
Scientology) and presents a threat to Lodovica's authority. Lodovica sends Roy and Jahu (with Noa secretly in tow) to Aqua to destroy the Sacred Fish, source of life for the Aquarians, and thus putting a stop to the dangerous heresy.
Others •
Frida Decibel: celebrity television personality, host of a talk show on channel
TriniTeevee (play on the words
Trinity ,
trinità, and
TV ) and official mouthpiece of the Church of Lodovica. Her show is actually a subversive tool in which a good part of the staff are "heretics", to whom she gives sanctuary without fear of being caught – her show is, after all, all for the glory of Lodovica. •
Cleopatra Decibel: the daughter of Frida, she acts much older than she truly is – though her age is never stated, her caretaker points out that she is a minor. Cleopatra no secrecy of her laziness and unwillingness to be a part of her mother's telecasts. The self-proclaimed "biggest fan" of Jahu, she gains his attention by forcing their meeting, then performing a dance routine for the television inspired by Rose (Jahu's missing ex-wife). •
Eliantho (Elianthe): a "scropo (Scrope)", or a fictional animal race present in the world of Sky Doll. The scropi are small, hairy quadrupeds with large noses. Eliantho, Noa's domesticated pet, sacrifices itself to a laser blast intended for Roy and Jahu. Through unknown means, Noa is able to resurrect it. It also seems to have more untapped power within it. •
Aquarian Caretaker: as of Tome 3 (
White City), she is yet unnamed. However, she is the one most frequently dealing with Cleopatra, seen in her attempts to ready Cleo for the major telecast. She remains her position even as Cleopatra gravitates towards Jahu, stopping them from kissing and reminding them of her youth. No indication is given that she cares that the Aquarians are now a doomed race, despite her working in the telecast celebrating it. Also, while the Aquarians all look identical (except for Gaia, who has notable blue arms apparently made from water), her time on the station has given her a look, through facial expressions and clothing choice, pointing to Chinese culture. ==
