The Main Character (shortened as MC) of Twisted Wonderland is the player's character. Their default name is Yuu, but the name can be changed by the player. Other characters often refer to them as "Prefect". Their gender is ambiguous and are referred to with gender neutral pronouns by other characters.
Story
MC wakes up in one of the black coffins, having little memories of how they arrived at Night Raven College, along with having nothing to identify themselves with. They also do not possess any magic like the other students in Twisted Wonderland. The magic mirror remarks that MC is "empty."
MC is enrolled in Night Raven College with Grim as one student and lives in Ramshackle Dorm.
Personality
While the game sometimes give the option to choose between dialouge options for MC, and therefore their personality is player controlled to some extent, other characters have pointed out certain traits and characteristics of MC:
- Azul has mentioned that they don't have a beautiful singing voice.[1]
- Jamil has teased them for being a messy eater. [2]
- Idia considers them to be an introvert like him. [3]
- Grim has said that MC can be “scary” when they finally get serious.
- Others have described them as a mix of cheeky, blunt, naïve and/or someone who goes with the flow.
Background
MC appears to come from an Earth-like world, given their dialogue options have referenced things like American football [4] and traditional Japanese holidays such as 'Tanabata'. [5]
Trivia
- Their default name, Yuu, is a play on the word "you."
- In Japanese, a cutscene in Book 4 will render the protagonist's name as "ユウ (You)" if their name is left as the default. If the player changes the protagonist's name, the "You" will not display after their name.
- They were already wearing the ceremonial robes when they arrived at Night Raven College.[6]
- They are the interviewer for the NRC School Newspaper in the Birthday Boy vignette stories.
- They own a device given by the headmaster called the "Ghost Camera", a camera that is able to take a picture of anything possessing a soul. According to the headmaster, the pictures taken by the Ghost Camera are able to 'move' and were used by people in the days before video existed.
- They're the only character to not make an appearance in the game's anniversary trailers. This is likely attributed to their status as a featureless protagonist. In their stead, the events that occurred throughout the year are shown to have taken place from Grim’s perspective.
- In the game's official manga serialization, for the first book (Book of Heartslabyul) a character named Enma Yuuken was introduced to fill the role of the Prefect in their stead.
- For the second book (Book of Savanaclaw), a different character named Yuuka Hirasaka takes the role of the Prefect.
- In Japanese mythology, Yomotsu Hirasaka is a slope or boundary between the world of the dead and the world of the living.
- For the third book (Book of Octavinelle), another new character named Yuuta Mito is introduced as the Perfect.
- In the fourth book (Book of Scarabia), Yuuna Oujou assumes the role of Prefect.
- In the novel adaptation, a character named Yuya Kuroki fills the role of the protagonist.

Yuuken Enma is an original character and protagonist of Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga - Book of Heartslabyul. He is a second-year student of Hibari Municipal High School and vice-captain of the kendo club in his original world.
Appearances
Yuuken is a tall and rather handsome young man with black hair and dark eyes. During his time at Night Raven College, he's seen wearing his Hibari Municipal High School uniform, which consists of a green blazer, a white collared shirt, and blue navy tie, black and white checked pants and white sneakers.
He is considered very tall and muscular by various characters, including Crowley.
Personality
Yuuken is a determined, responsible, thoughtful young man. He has a habit of helping anyone he sees having a difficult time, even putting himself in danger, such as when he rushes to push Riddle away, using his body to shield him from Grim's attacks.
Yuuken has a certain desire to help people realize their dreams and feels a sort of weakness towards those who show an iron determination for their fulfillment, as seen with Grim making him remember his schoolmate Koito.
He has an open mind, given that he quickly gets used to the existence of magic, nor has he been scared at the sight of ghosts, on the contrary, he is thrilled to be able to see them even without magic much to their bewilderment.[1]
He has a sincere talent for uniting people, as shown in the mine with Ace, Deuce, and Grim or in his original world when he unites enough members to join his kendo club. In addition to this, Yuuken shows enthusiasm and encourages other people, giving them advice or support in times of need.[2]
He has a strong moral code and, regardless of the person and their conduct, treats everyone equally, almost never showing fear. This strength is consolidated in moments of crisis: in the mine, for example, or when Leona tries to kick him.
However, Yuuken is not exempt from more adolescent behavior, such as watching anime.
Background
Not much is known about his life before Night Raven College. He was the vice-captain of his kendo club at a school in Tokyo and was able to gather new members, so that they would later be chosen to participate in their first official match in years. The NRC carriage arrived to pick him up late one evening while he was waiting for the bus after he had helped a classmate train for an upcoming race.
Initially hired as a handyman, Yuuken was later brought in as a student alongside Grim and becomes the Prefect of Ramshackle Dorm. Due to him not having magic, Yuuken is considered half a student, and Grim is considered his other half. Yuuken is given the Ghost Camera by Crowley to supervise Grim and document his life at Night Raven College without paperwork. Yuuken joins class 1-A, the same class as Ace and Deuce, and attends lessons alongside them.
Skill
Despite being the only student without magical powers, Yuuken can handle himself and be useful to his friends. Yuuken was the vice-captain of the kendo club before being transferred to Twisted Wonderland and is obviously very skilled. He's also very passionate, having used kendo terms before hitting Grim or directing Ace and Deuce into a fight.
In addition to this, he follows a training that allows him not only to practice kendo but to have excellent physical prowess and resistance, which is shown when he completes 20 laps and 100 push-ups without sweating. He himself claims to train regularly. His swordsmanship is skilled enough to defeat Riddle Overblot in single combat.
Like all Yuu, he has the curious ability to see the history of the Great Seven in his dreams.

Trivia
- His given name "Yuuken" (雄 剣) contains the kanji for "hero/male" and "sword". While his last name "Enma" comes from the Japanese name of one of the Buddhist deities who rules in hell, who is also the judge of the afterlife.
- So far, Yuuken is the only Yuu who does not wear Night Raven College uniform.
- Unlike Yuu of the game and Yuuya Kuroki from the light novel, who arrived at Twisted Wonderland without any personal items, Yuuken had with him not only his school uniform, but also his Kendo training bag, an old phone and his wallet.
- He didn't wear ceremonial clothes when he arrived at Night Raven College.
- While the exact reaction of the other Yuus to the ceremony is unknown, Yuuken is the only one character who arbitrarily refuses to join the school. Yuu from the game and Yuuya from the novel, in fact, attend and are rejected by the Dark Mirror.

Yuuka Hirasaka is an original character and protagonist of Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga - Book of Savanaclaw. She is a second-year student of an all-girl school and a member of the Judo club in her original world.
Appearance
Yuuka is shown as a young girl with short black hair and bright brown eyes with a small scar on the right of her forehead. She also has a tall, slim and well-trained physique.
In her current time at Night Raven College she wears the standard uniform of all the other students, but is also seen in various flashbacks wearing a tracksuit as well as a white judo uniform.
Personality
Yuuka appears as a caring, responsible and sociable girl who got along well with her judo classmates. She is also very confident in herself and her strength as she is willing to fight alone against the members of the Savanaclaw dorm.[2]
She often has an impassive expression but also shows an irreverent side of her more stoic behavior: the night she meets Malleus for the first time, in fact, she cannot help but think, not very impressed by his attitude, who there were a lot of "weirdos" in that school.
She seems to have a soft spot for animals.
Background
Not much is known about her life, other than that Yuuka was a member of Judo club at her all-girls school in Tochigi. After her match, she saw a stray cat getting soaked in the rain.
She attempts to keep the cat from getting wet, but it runs off. Suddenly, she gets run over by a black carriage and gets transported to Night Raven College where she meets Grim and the other dorm leaders.
Although devoid of magic and a way to return to his world, her special circumstances allow Yuuna to stay in the Ramshackle Dorm with Grim and assume the position of Prefect.
She is assigned to Class 1-A along with Ace and Deuce, taking classes with them. Later she becomes involved in problematic situations because of the Heartslabyul and Savanaclaw dorms.
Skill
She has a black belt in judo and is very skilled, as she manages to spin her opponent. According to her profile in the Savanaclaw Volume 1 episode, Special Content, she can do judo flips to someone twice her size. She defeats Jack with a judo flip even though he is taller and stronger than her.[3]
She tends to train whenever she can.[4] Like all Yuu, she has the curious ability to see the history of the Great Seven in his dreams.

Yuuta Mito is an original character and protagonist of Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga - Book of Octavinelle. He was a food deliverer who worked part-time at his father's restaurant in his original world.
Appearance
Yuuta appears as a young boy shorter than Ace and Deuce with a chubby appearance with black hair and kind eyes.
After transferring to Night Raven College, he wears the school's standard jacket over his shirt along with school pants. The kanji on his shirt, “満福軒” (Manpuku-Ken), was the name of his father's Chinese restaurant.
Besides his Night Raven College uniform, Yuuta may still have his old work clothes. He has a large food delivery container with the logo of his father's restaurant.
Personality
In contrast to Yuuka and Yuuken's more serious and stoic expressions, Yuuta demonstrates a great deal of facial expression.
It has a cheerful, kind and hard-working character, as well as a generous side as he shares the food he prepares with his friends. He is also inclined to joke and commit mischievous actions, as well as furious, intimidating outbursts when he sees acts that lack integrity toward food.
However he is intimidated quite easily by threats as seen with the Leech twins, Jade and Floyd, and Crowley. He loves his friends and often shows concern for them.
Although he doesn't seem particularly shrewd, he has good enough intuition to enable him to see the trick of Azul's magical contracts. This flash of cunning impresses both Leona and Ruggie.
Yuuta is deeply grateful to his father for raising him as a single parent, and he helps him every day in the family restaurant.
Background
Not much is known about his past, other than that he worked part-time in his father's restaurant. During a scooter delivery, he crashed into the ebony carriage of Night Raven College.
Discovering that he is in another world, Twisted Wonderland, in addition to being incapable of using magic and due to other circumstances, is allowed to become a student with Grim and Prefect of the Ramshackle Dorm. He later becomes involved in the troubles of Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw and Octavinelle by their respective Housewardens.
Currently Yuuta is worried about his father managing their restaurant without him. Because of this, Yuuta is constantly thinking about wanting to go home as soon as possible.
Skill
Unlike Yuuken and Yuuka, Yuuta is shown to have no sporting ability. He loves to cook and Grim is the one who loves his cooking the most.[1] His skills with food are expert enough to allow him to stay in Savanaclaw when Leona challenges him to prepare food to buy his place.
He has a license to drive a scooter and do his delivery job.[1] Like all Yuu, he has the curious ability to see the history of the Great Seven in his dreams.

Trivia
- Yuuta is the first Yuu to work a part-time job.
- He is also the first Yuu whose family (his father) was shown in the series. Yuu, Yuuken and Yuuka’s family have yet to be mentioned. Only Yuuya from the light novel mentioned a father and mother.
- His given name "Yuuta" (宥太) contains the kanji for "sweetness/superiority" and "thickness/large". His last name "Mito" uses the same kanji as 三 途川, and comes from the "River of Three Crossings", a mythological river the souls of the deceased must cross by one of three crossing points.

Oujou Yuuna is an original character and protagonist of Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga - Book of Scarabia. She was a high school student and an inspiring model in the original world.
Appearance
Yuuna is a young girl with long wavy bleached hair and dyed streaks held in a side tail on the right side by a colorful scrunchie. She has a petite, slim but fit figure and tanned skin.
Just like Yuuken, she prefers to wear clothes from her world and is seen wearing a cardigan with a white collared shirt and striped tie, a leopard scarf, long black pants (sometimes) under a pleated mini-skirt, knee-length white socks, and loafers. She also wears makeup, false eyelashes, light lipstick, long reconstructed nails, a necklace and hoop earrings.
During her stay in Scarabia, keeps her cardigan tied at the waist, shirt sleeves rolled up, and sports shorts under her skirt.
When Crowley gives away her smartphone as a gift, she decides to adorn it with a fashionable case, full of glitter and a feline silhouette reminiscent of Grim tied to a beaded centering and now kept on her as a shoulder bag.
Personality
She has a very outgoing, sociable, and energetic personality. Yuuna has a great interest in fashion, especially gyaru fashion, and cares about her appearance and beauty.
She tends to get along with everyone, although she is shown to feel a bit pressured by Jade and Floyd. Yuuna doesn't have a good memory for names, especially complex ones, so she tends to give nicknames to all the characters.
She may have trouble picking up double entendres/hidden meanings or flirting in general, as seen with Ace when they exchange Magicam IDs.[1] Similar to Grim, Yuuna hasn't shown great intellectual abilities. According to Ace, she and Grim are simpletons.
However, Yuuna shown to have good intuition as she quickly senses that getting involved with Scarabia's Dorm is synonymous of trouble. In fact she doesn't like to get involved in affairs that don't concern her, also mindful of past Overblots. She tries to return to Ramshackle Dorm several times, but is always stopped by the intervention of Jamil or members of the Scarabia Dorm.[2]
In any case, Yuuna tends to enjoy her experiences to the fullest, such as taking selfies with anyone who catches her eye, diving into the water oasis created by Kalim's UM and wearing jewelry from the Scarabia warehouse without a care in the world.
Background
Not much is known about her life before the events of the story, except that she comes from a farming family, and while she was willing to help her family with the rice paddies, her aspirations lie elsewhere. Her dream was to became a Tokyo model for the gyaru magazines, that she loves so much.
To her delight, she had recently found out that had passed the first round of the gyazu model audition, taking a step closer to realizing her dream. However, one day, while leaving school and intending to travel to the second round of auditions in Tokyo, Yuuna was run over by the ebony carriage of Night Raven College.
When she wakes up, she finds herself in Twisted Wonderland and unable to return to her home world. Although devoid of magic, her special circumstances allow Yuuna to stay in the Ramshackle Dorm while assuming the position of Prefect, student and supervisor of Grim.
She joins class 1-A, the same class as Ace and Deuce, and attends classes with them. Later becomes involved in the various problems of Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle and currently Scarabia.
Skill
She hasn't shown any particular physical abilities, other than a high stamina thanks to her background working in her family's rice fields. However, Yuuna may feel uncomfortable about having worked in the fields, since she lies and says she has done light workouts in the past. [3]
Like all Yuu, she has the curious ability to see the history of the Great Seven in her dreams.

- Beyond its introduction with Yuuken, the Ghost Camera has not been mentioned or seen again (although, in the latter case, it does not happen with Yuuna either).
- The break of her new phone never occurred in the canon events of the game. In the game it is simply sequestered during her time in confinement in Scarabia.
- Beyond its introduction with Yuuken, the Ghost Camera has not been mentioned or seen again (although, in the latter case, it does not happen with Yuuna either).
