Umineko When They Cry

Also see Satoko Houjou/Image Gallery and Satoko Houjou/Sprites
Satoko Houjou appears as an athletic pre-pubescent girl, with spiky blonde hair worn in a short bob held back with her signature black headband. Her eye-color ranges from a shade of dark magenta to purple across multiple adaptations. She often sports a merry or mischievous expression and her pointy canine teeth can be seen accentuating her smug grins and hearty laughs.
When Satoko feels rather disturbed or upset, the light in her eyes disappears and her face turns uncharacteristically glum; which was a common sight in her younger years back when she underwent frequent abuse from her legal guardians. In Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou and Sotsu , Satoko's irises occasionally assume a red-blazing tone after being bestowed with the power to travel between Fragments by Eua , and she begins to sport masks of indifference or malicious mirth when she is seen scheming.

Satoko Houjou is a mischievous, haughty brat true to her age and loves to play pranks on others using her traps; with Keiichi Maebara being her favorite victim. She is often obstinate and hates being talked down to. She tries to speak like a refined lady, yet this comes off as brash and haphazard, due to her poor usage of Keigo . At times, Satoko will cry whenever someone makes fun of her; although this can be a tactical way to earn others' sympathy— Rena Ryuugu 's in particular.
Satoko is rather smart despite her dislike towards academics and her capabilities are apparent in her trap-making prowess, which is held in high regard by Mion Sonozaki , and in Matsuribayashi is even praised by the Bloodhounds after they manage to take out the entire gamut of offending Mountain Dogs . Satoko once tells Keiichi that success in trap-making heavily depends one's ability to observe and predict the opponent's behavior by gauging their psychology. She is rather crafty and prefers to rely on trickery to excel in club games and hence, makes a great strategist.
Satoko is implied to be color-blind like her brother since she has trouble telling the difference between broccoli and cauliflower and doesn't know which colors they are. [6] [7] She is often made fun of for this.
Deep down, Satoko longs to be a strong girl because of her old family situation. She used to cry all the time back when her brother was still with her, and ever since his disappearance she has struggled to improve herself. She has learned to cook, clean and take care of herself ever since she was orphaned and began to live alone with Rika. However she takes this need for independence too far and refuses to ask for help from others or show signs of weakness even in dire situations such as when she was taken away by Teppei in Tatarigoroshi and Minagoroshi , or stabbed to death by Shion Sonozaki in Meakashi . Satoko also cares a great deal for her friends—especially Rika Furude , Keiichi and Shion Sonozaki , the latter two whom she considers as big-brother and big-sister figures.

In Gou and Sotsu ,
a darker side of Satoko's personality is shown; one much more cruel, sadistic, ruthless, selfish, and calculating. In Satokowashi , Satoko is portrayed as an egotistical and rude girl who acts disrespectful towards everyone in St. Lucia Academy because she hates their formal manners and demand for excelling academic performance. Due to feeling betrayed by Rika when she didn't keep her promise of continuing to be best friends with Satoko at St. Lucia, Satoko ends up striking a deal with Eua to loop so as to keep Rika with her forever, ultimately dragging Rika back to June 1983 by pulling a brutal murder-suicide with a falling chandelier and desiring to crush Rika's hope of breaking the loop. Using her craftiness to her advantage, Satoko memorized all the Fragments she's been in and created plans to kill herself and Rika so as to keep the time looping, especially by learning how to use a gun. She is also rather unflinching when it comes to killing herself, as seen in Oniakashi-hen Part 3 where she calmly slits her throat with no hesitation compared to Rika's hesitant throat silting. Similarly to Frederica Bernkastel , an alternative version of Satoko was inadvertently created due to Satoko's looping, completely intent on keeping Rika in Hinamizawa. This Satoko is referred as a "witch" by Eua and herself. She is manipulative when quietly pulling the strings and has a lack of remorse due to her belief that her actions are meaningless as a result of looping. Whenever she has second thoughts to what she's doing, the witch Satoko falls back to feeling that it isn't her fault by blaming Rika for her own actions. In Tatariakashi , she kills Teppei despite his niceness and reformation, and kills her human self when she attempts to prevent this very murder and openly rejects her human side because of her emotional drive, calling the human Satoko as just the remnants of an old Fragment that shouldn't exist anymore. She also beats Keiichi to near-death, previously viewing him as a brother figure, to use for her plan in convincing Ooishi the curse is occurring. At the end of Kagurashi , her witch self seemingly disappears and her human self returns. Click here to hide spoilers.

Ange has upper-back auburn hair that is usually tied in small pigtails and is secured by a cheap accessory that was given to her by Battler. She has square bangs hanging over her forehead and dark-blue eyes.
As a young woman, she wears a black blazer with a black belt over a white collared shirt with a lavender bow tie, along with a white skirt, long black stockings, and plain black shoes. She wears a red armband with the Ushiromiya crest on her left arm. Kasumi Sumadera points out that she inherited the shape of Kyrie's eyes and nose. In addition, Ange seems to be well-endowed, which she also inherited from her mother.
In her appearance as a six-year-old girl, she wears a green dress with a lavender bow and white socks and plain shoes; the Ushiromiya crest is displayed on her left sock. She also wears a golden butterfly key given to her by Battler.

Before the Rokkenjima incident, Ange was like any regular young girl; cheerful and upbeat who loves her family, especially her older brother Battler despite not seeing each other so often. She also hates being alone.
After the events on Rokkenjima with Eva the only supposed survivor and the rest of her family dead, Ange's personality changed. Due to the hardship she had been put through from the loneliness she suffered and the pressure of being the next head, as well as being manipulated by Bernkastel into rejecting Eva as a surrogate mother, Ange lost her smile, developing her cold, calm, and cynical personality.
As a young woman, Ange can also be sarcastic at times and like her brother, she has a habit of saying, "It's useless, it's all useless" during difficult situations. Despite her cold and calm front, she would sometimes be emotional, especially during the EP 7 Tea Party when she broke down after Bernkastel shows her the truth of the Rokkenjima Massacre. It can also be noted that deep down, because of her grief, she became bitter and lonely, resulting in Ange wanting to find the truth. It is also what clouded her memories on the happy moments she had with her family.

Umineko When They Cry

Although Asumu didn't have a sprite in the original sound novels and its remakes, she was given an appearance in the manga through flashbacks from other characters. She seemed to have light-colored curly hair and big eyes. She appears to be fairly tall as she and Kyrie have approximately the same height. Asumu also wore a necklace and a dress.

To Battler and Rudolf, Asumu was overall a kind individual; Rudolf especially wanted to protect her because she accepted him for who he was despite his flaws and would forgive his mistakes. However, Kyrie's perception towards Asumu is almost the complete opposite. According to Kyrie, Asumu was just one of the girls who went after Rudolf during his days as a playboy. However, unlike most girls, she was a very sly individual that was able to stir up an instinct within Rudolf to protect her. She was also noted to be quite smart by both Rudolf and Kyrie as well, having an interest in riddles.


Umineko When They Cry

Battler is a good looking 18 year old boy with red spiky hair and blue eyes. He wears an antique white suit over a red collared shirt, black vest, black tie and antique white pants. The One-Winged Eagle is adorned on his right lapel.
In Dawn of the Golden Witch , following his ascension to Game Master Battler receives a black cape draped over his shoulders, similar to the one worn by Kinzo .

Battler is a fairly kind-hearted individual, helping others whenever he can and intervening in arguments between his relatives. He is also fairly intelligent, as End of the Golden Witch reveals that he's a fan of mystery novels. He is very skeptical when it comes to the existence of magic and opts to find a logical explanation for things but is held back by his refusal to accept that his family and friends could be murderers, preferring to accuse an unknown person X as the culprit.
Battler is very perverted, where he attempts to grope Jessica and Shannon when he reunites with them and jokes with Maria about her being too young.
After End of the Golden Witch , following his ascent as the Golden Sorcerer, Battler wholeheartedly accepts magic and almost completely drops the perverted side of him.

Umineko When They Cry

While most other characters look the way they are for artistic reasons, Beatrice's appearance as a Caucasian woman with ginger-blonde hair and blue eyes is meant to be taken literally. She also wears a bow adorned with a rose in her hair, a choker, and ballgown-like dress. Her dress constantly switches from brown to dark brown across the different adaptations, appearing brown in both the anime and PS3 game, while the dark brown in Ougon Musou Kyoku and the original visual novel. She also wears the successor ring on her left middle finger. She is also sometimes seen holding a gold kiseru . In Ougon Musou Kyoku her outfit has a ribbon added to her lower back. In Pachi-Slot Umineko no Naku Koro ni , she has long nails polished red.
Her human form wears a collared shirt with a cropped jacket and tie, a ruffled miniskirt, striped stockings, and boots and usually holds a cane with an eagle head as the handle. In End of the Golden Witch , she is seen as her witch form, but with her hair down. In Dawn of the Golden Witch , her "chick" form is seen as her witch form, and her "elder sister" counterpart is seen as her human form.

On the front, Beatrice is a very cruel and sadistic person, who loves to torture and kill people just for the sake of fun, a being so terrifying that even in the Meta-World she is feared from heavens to hell as one of the cruelest witches ever. She is at times very composed and majestic, and at other times very disgraceful and insightful with a creepy laughter and a demonic smile.
However, as the saga goes on, more sides of her character are revealed. She proves to have a very joyful attitude and quite a childish side. She is in fact described by her teacher as a naive child who loves to play with toys without the fear to break them and also with a power so big that she hardly realizes she can handle. She shows this side primarily with Virgilia and Ronove which have a very parent-like attitude with her and less with Battler which she'd feel embarrassed with to act so. Quite common is, in fact, to see her sobbing on Virgilia's chest when things don't go her way.
Beatrice has a great fear of spiderwebs due to how it is one of her weaknesses told in the legend of Beatrice.

Umineko When They Cry

Belphegor has black hair tied into a single ponytail and red eyes. Her clothes are the same as those of the other Stakes, being a red shirt over a pink tie and black leotard. She wears the One-Winged Eagle on her "skirt".

Belphegor is hard-working and sensible, trying to make other people feel lazy and lethargic in her duties.


Umineko When They Cry

Bernkastel has long steel-blue hair and emotionless purple eyes. Her attire is that of a black and white Gothic Lolita dress with a blue ribbon, a white petticoat, cotton socks and black mary jane shoes. She seems to have a black cat tail with a blue ribbon tied on it.
In the original visual novel, she is depicted as an individual around her teens, whereas in the remakes, she is depicted as a child, almost half Ronove 's height.

Bernkastel initially appears emotionless and gets bored easily. She has forgotten the concept of pain and fear after centuries of being superior to others.
Deep down, Bern is sadistic and willing to kill or sacrifice anything or anyone for her own amusement. She treats her piece Erika like garbage when the latter fails to achieve any worthwhile results. She is just as, if not even more, playfully cruel than Lambdadelta , who shows a great fondness towards her and outright states that she loves her several times.
She has a tendency to hold grudges and that even a century won't make her forget the humiliation she suffered. As a result of this, she then creates a game where there won't be a happy ending, in the case when she lost a game to Beatrice .


Umineko When They Cry

Black Battler initially has the same appearance as Battler, but when entering the Golden Land he gains a new appearance and different-colored clothes. His eyes are red with cat-like pupils. He now wears a purple suit and pants, with a red tie and black shirt.

He usually talks in an almost emotionless, slow and calm fashion, though he is also prone to fits of deranged laughter. He is also extremely sadistic and cruel at times. In Bernkastel's game, he is also deceptive, to the point that it is believable, going as far as faking tears and denying it when Maria found out that he and his parents were the culprits. Interestingly, however, he seems to regret his role as the culprit. As he is created to entertain the theories of Battler being the culprit, it is possible his personality is simply that of a Battler forced to kill and act like a cold-blooded killer.


Umineko When They Cry

Kawabata wears a dark green cap, white shirt, and blue vest. He has black hair.

Umineko When They Cry

Clair is the original form of Beatrice , thus possessing the same face and expressions as the Golden Witch. However, she has long white hair and a white knee length dress with a collar and cravat to match the image of a ghost haunting the mansion during the night. Her eyes have no pupils, giving her a perpetually sad and empty expression. Clair is also seen carrying a book in hand.

Clair displays a melancholic disposition while telling her story and relies on Zepar and Furfur to liven things up. Despite being stated as to having no will of her own or a personality, she can just be said to be very committed to her role as furniture, and is in a sense a very tragic figure as she exists only as Bernkastel's piece and to shoulder the sins of Beatrice. She even wishes her counterpart, Lion Ushiromiya, to live a happy life for her sake and for all of the Beatrices that have ever existed.


Umineko When They Cry

Cornelia has red eyes and brown hair in a bob cut decorated with yellow ribbons. Her attire is the standard Eiserne Jungfrau uniform: a black leotard with blue leg o'mutton sleeves, a white collar, white tie, white bow cuffs, white stockings and black mary jane shoes.

Cornelia has a strong sense of justice, but despite how deadpan she acts, she is very naive. She speaks almost entirely in court language and tends to say "Please, allow me to speak. Let it be known that..." before saying anything.


Umineko When They Cry

Dlanor appears as a young girl wearing a black leotard with white frills and a blue jacket, with a blue cap to match. She also wears black thigh-high socks with white platform boots, and occasionally wears glasses. Dlanor's hair rsembles that of a judge's wig. On her left arm is a golden gauntlet. Dlanor's weapons, the Red Key and Blue Key, are solid red and blue swords.

While on the job as an Inquisitor, Dlanor displays extreme seriousness and desire to deny the Illusion of the Witch. Despite her seemingly cool personality, she breaks out into a laughing face like that of a cat whenever she's on a roll with an inquisition. This begins with a raised eyebrow, then an open-mouth cat's smile, and finally a laughing face.
Off the clock, Dlanor acts rather childish and shows disdain for having to execute witches the way she does.
Dlanor also has a unique speech quirk, with the last syllables of her sentences being written in katakana. Witch Hunt translated this by writing these words in all-caps (for example, "A check of that place has already been FINISHED."). A result of this speech pattern is her fixation on the word DEATH, as sentences ending with the katakana spelling of "desu" sound like the English word "death".


Umineko When They Cry

Erika has dark blue eyes and long hair styled into pigtails, She is estimated to be about Jessica 's age, but she's more petite. She has a similar appearance to Bernkastel due to being created in her image.
She wears a fancy red-pink-white Lolita fashion dress with frills and a white and pink canotier [2] with red roses on it as her headpiece. She wears a pair of white buckle Mary Jane shoes. The dress she wears actually belongs to Jessica.
In the Twilight manga, console ports and pachinko sprite set, Erika wears a pirate hat during a part of her raid on Rokkenjima.

Initially, Erika comes off as a sweet, polite, and soft-spoken young lady who is immediately loved and trusted by most of the Ushiromiya family soon after washing up on Rokkenjima. But this is merely a facade, as Erika is truly an arrogant, sadistic, ruthless and cruel woman who cares little for anyone but herself and her master Bernkastel. She's highly intelligent and doesn't hesitate to use it to lord herself over others. When dropping her sickeningly sweet facade, Erika occasionally says, in English, <Good!> or <Very Good!> when excited or very pleased by something.
She revels in dismantling the theories of others and substituting what she believes is the one true truth. Yet she also goes into meltdown whenever her "truth" gets a hole punched through it. Erika even considers herself more powerful than Bernkastel and Lambdadelta in a way, because they'd rather distract themselves from their past miseries with other people's suffering than face those memories (and thus the truth) head-on.
Erika's confidence in her abilities leads her to often underestimate her opponents. She also demonstrates a rather vindictive side to her character during End of the Golden Witch when she informs Battler why she wanted to solve the epitaph in the first place: she wanted to not only sneer at whoever proposed the epitaph's riddle, but to get revenge on Jessica for interrupting her during her solving of the epitaph; she wanted to see the angry and pitiful expression Jessica would likely don upon realizing that Battler stole the headship from her father as well. Her hatred of Battler stems from losing to him later on. She clearly delights in the idea of raping Battler's helpless body after forcing him to marry her.
In spite of serving Bernkastel, she denies magic and love, saying that love is nothing but an illusion that distracts from the truth, though the events of Dawn of the Golden Witch would suggest that her denial of love stems from a past lover 's infidelity.


Umineko When They Cry

Eva is a middle-aged fair-skinned woman. She has ginger hair that forms a straight fringe over her forehead and is tied up in a high bun held by a purple hairpin. She has black eyes in the original sound novel and purple eyes in the anime and PS3 port .
Eva's family conference outfit is a black dress (dark purple in the PS3 and pachinko sprite sets) reminiscent of the Chinese cheongsam / qipao , emblazoned all over with the Ushiromiya family crest: the One-Winged Eagle . She also wears two gloves, a long right one and a shorter left one, which reveals the One-Winged Eagle tattooed on her arm. She also wears a pink bracelet, white pants and black orthopedic shoes. Eva also carries a maroon hand fan with her, which she sometimes opens up.

Eva is a hard-working woman who trying to holds her own in the male-dominated society of post-war Japan. She projects an attitude of confidence and self-assurance, though this can quickly change if she loses the upper hand in a discussion. Eva is also quite cunning and will pounce on opportunities as she sees them, a trait that helped her retain the Ushiromiya name after marriage by exploiting Kinzo 's dissatisfaction towards Natsuhi .
Eva has a great amount of pride in the Ushiromiya family name and its history. She believes herself to be the ideal successor to the family headship, especially in comparison to her elder brother Krauss , who she views as an inferior and an unjust heir. Due to Kinzo's rejection of her efforts, she channeled her efforts towards raising her son George to be an ideal successor, hoping that he would one day wrest the headship from Krauss and his family. As a result, she assumed a great deal of personal control over George's life, signing him up for an array of supplemental lessons in academics and the arts and limiting his romantic involvements. Eva's pride in the family name also led her to develop an elitist attitude, which is shown when she looks down on Shannon 's servant status and Maria 's immaturity.
Eva's easygoing attitude in casual conversation belies her sharp tongue and sardonic manner. While she rarely resorts to open verbal abuse as an adult, she enjoys subtly demeaning or undermine those she dislikes or looks down upon. One example of this is during the welcome tea in Legend of the Golden Witch , where she notices Shannon is unaware of the brand of the tea and proceeds to pile increasing pressure on her to undermine their host Natsuhi. When questioned on her actions, Eva replies that she was merely imparting some knowledge to the servant. While Eva herself struggled with discrimination on the basis of her gender, she does not hesitate to level the same gender roles that were imposed against her on other women such as Natsuhi and Jessica , particularly when it allows her to elevate her own son George over them. Her hypocrisy can also be seen when she criticizes Natsuhi for pressuring her daughter to become the successor despite the fact that she does the same for her son [2] .
Due to her having internalized the sexist dynamics that both Kinzo and Krauss have applied to her, Eva also has a very contentious relationship with most of the island's female residents; in addition to her already mentioned one-sided rivalry with Natsuhi and Jessica (as respectively wife and daughter of the firstborn son of the family head) and Shannon (as she sees the young servant as an unsuitable partner for her son), she does not get along very well with her younger sister Rosa either; having verbally bullied and psychologically abused her as a kid since Rosa herself has memory of it, until she was unconsciously submissive to Eva in adulthood. The only apparent exceptions to Eva's misogyny appear to be her sister-in-law Kyrie and her daughter Ange , whom Eva even asked about how her niece was staying home sick in Legend of the Golden Witch .
While there is no doubt that she is a woman of considerable talents and has a quick mind (traits which have enabled her to solve the epitaph , largely by herself, and find the gold before all others in the third game ), very often Eva also greatly overestimate her intelligence and underestimate and belittle that of those around her (especially her siblings). In particular her desire to succeed Kinzo as the new family head is due to her considering herself and proving in the eyes of her father as the best of his four children.

Eva demonstrating her martial arts prowess in order to intimidate Natsuhi and prove that she can defend herself.
While Eva publicly projects an air of confidence and strength, she has moments of sensitivity and vulnerability which she tends to only express in private with her husband Hideyoshi . It is during these periods that she can also be quite reflective and question her motivations for her actions. Despite Eva's lack of concern for the rest of her extended family, she sincerely cares about her husband Hideyoshi and her son George, and becomes frantic at the possibility that either of them may be in danger. Apart from her business pursuits and raising of George, Eva also expresses an interest in travelling and enjoys martial arts, the latter of which was disapproved of by Kinzo and Krauss for being traditionally masculine.
At the end of Banquet of the Golden Witch , it is revealed that Eva fell under great public scrutiny and criticism due to being the only survivor of the Rokkenjima Mass Murders . While she initially tried to develop a loving relationship with her adoptive daughter Ange, her foisting of her dream for George onto her, combined with immense public pressure and suspicion as well as Ange's rejection of her led to Eva gradually becoming more controlling and hostile towards her. Eva's enemies in the business world grew as a result of her opportunistic and sneaky tactics, leading her to become increasingly paranoid and unable trust anyone.

EVA-Beatrice first appears as a young, teenage Eva and has the same ginger colored hair except laid down. She also wears a blue Japanese school sailor uniform with white accents and a white ribbon.
After solving the epitaph and becoming a witch, EVA's outfit changes to that of a short dark purple cloak with ruffles of a lighter complexion of purple, a black bowtie with a rose replacing where the knot is, a lolita-style dress the same dark purple color as the cloak, elbow length gloves and a black pillbox hat laced with white patterns and a rose on the right-side of the hat. She also holds onto the One-Winged Eagle staff everywhere she goes.
In Golden Fantasia , she has light blue eyes while in the anime adaptation, EVA-Beatrice has pink eyes, the same as Eva.

Being the physical manifestation of Eva's childhood, the young EVA appears immediately as a very spoiled, capricious, envious, greedy and selfish brat who is careless of the needs and desires of others.
After becoming the successor of Beatrice , EVA-Beatrice reveals herself as a sadistic and cruel witch, who enjoys torturing her victims by using her magic to resurrect them and kill them again. With her fervent imagination, she creates particularly bizarre and brutal deaths, as demonstrated with her taking great joy in repeatedly and horribly torturing Rosa in different ways with her new powers. In the beginning she does this to help Eva achieve her goals, but eventually became independent after Eva rejects her because she killed and mocked Hideyoshi . She is very egocentric, narcissistic, and arrogant, and like her human counterpart, she very much loves to mock others, repeatedly taunting them by saying, Heso demo kande shinjaebā? ( ヘソでも噛んで死んじゃえばぁ? , Why don't you bite your navel and die? , translated officially as "Why don't you just give up and die?") .
She also believes that she deserves effective Furniture , the titles of Endless and Golden Witch as well as the gold and headship of the Ushiromiya family. Additionally, since she's the image of an Eva who has never went further her childhood, she is also childish; she has a bit of a complex when being called 'oba-san' by Battler and rather wants to be called 'nee-san'.
At some point, EVA-Beatrice begins to act as a stand-in for Eva and shares many of the same thoughts and feelings as her, such as in Dawn of the Golden Witch where George views EVA-Beatrice as his mother's true nature. [2]


Umineko When They Cry

Featherine appears as a mature lady with dark violet hair styled in a classic hime cut , purple eyes and a well-proportioned figure. Always sporting a composed and lackadaisical demeanour, she exudes an aura of wisdom and power. Yet, her expression may take on a hint of mischief if she finds herself entertained by something; or turn sightly pensive when she muses about the story she is observing as a theatergoer.
The Great Witch carries herself with grace; but on extremely rare occasions of amusement, her face may twist into an inexplicably cruel sneer which rivals even those of the other witches—as seen in the manga. She is almost never surprised by anything—the only one exception in the story being the conclusion of Twilight of the Golden Witch in which she watches the climax unfold with wide eyes lighting up in unadulterated wonder.

She wears a sweeping strapless light pink ball gown which resembles a Juunihitoe kimono; yet the layers seem to be mere stripes in green, blue and red in some adaptations. A yellow sash-like accessory is draped around the skirt. The dress is held in place by a formal magenta obi with red padding, accessorized with a red and white obijime .
The outfit is complete with matching light pink gloves and a light green fringed scarf draped over her left shoulder. Pinned on to the scarf is a brooch—comprising of a striped flag matching her dress layers affixed to a star-shaped pendant; resembling a military medal of sorts. She also carries a cane.

Her most notable accessory is the metallic horseshoe-shaped object that seemingly levitates around her head; later revealed to be a memory storage device which maintains her existence.

Similar to her human counterpart, Featherine speaks in an eloquent and condescending manner, often referring to other humans as "child of man." She considers humans so below her that she doesn't even acknowledge their names. [2] Like other witches, Featherine considers boredom to be a "fatal illness" and likes reading stories to cure it.

According to Ronove , Gaap likes to steal small things just to play pranks on people. She also tends to give her friends nicknames, referring to Beatrice as "Riiche" and Virgilia as "Lia", much to the latter's dismay. Gaap tends to play the role of a playful older sister to Beatrice.

In the manga , as a young man, he had jet black hair falling down his shoulders with rather curly bangs falling down his eyes. He usually kept his hair tied up with a ribbon. As Genji got older, he grew a mustache.

In the past, he shared a rivalry with Kinzo . According to Kinzo, even though Genji was a serious and silent individual, he was a schemer who would shamelessly scam others. In present times, he was still stoic but strict, as was expected of the chief butler. He is also very devoted to Kinzo for having helped him in the past.

George appears as a fairly young man and is described as a typical average man that is not too ugly nor too handsome. He has black curtained, short straight hair and black colored eyes (in later adaptations, his eye color is green). He has bad vision so he is always seen wearing glasses. He is of average height, standing at approximately 170 cm and has pale skin. In the original sound novels he was thicker, but in later adaptations, he was changed to being fairly slim.
George's formal attire consist of a black long sleeved buttoned shirt with a white tie. Over it is a brown vest with the Ushiromiya family crest and over it is a yellow suit. He also wears yellow trousers and black shoes. His casual attire in the sound novels and the anime consist of a black jacket, a green sleeveless shirt, and black pants.

George is polite and good at resolving a tense situation. He is the only cousin who had not made fun of Maria for believing in witches and magic. He is often praised by the other members of the Ushiromiya member to be mature and knowledgeable in many things such as tea.
In school, he had been bullied by other kids and runs away when he sees others being bullied unless the person is his friend. George also held negative feelings towards Jessica and Battler when he was younger, thinking that he was superior to them because they spoke in vulgar ways.

Gertrude wears a uniform similar to Cornelia 's, a black leotard with white frills and blue sleeves. She has red eyes and long blond hair.

Like her comrades, Gertrude appears extremely deadpan when on duty, but is actually a very charitable character well-liked by her juniors. She has a tendency to say "Allow me to speak. Let it be said that ..." before saying anything, especially when stating a Red Truth.


Umineko When They Cry

The Goats in the original PC novel have an average build and wear suits with the One-Winged Eagle adorned on their lapels. Their heads resemble that of a regular goat. The anime adaptation shows that Goats have very sharp teeth when they open their mouths, with their eyes being solid red.
The console sprites show the Goats as being incredibly muscular.

Most Goats have no personality to speak of, as they are created simply to serve their master. Alliance of the Golden Witch shows that Goats are capable of independent thought, however they don't seem to be very bright.


Umineko When They Cry

Higeyoshi is a large middle-aged man who normally wears a light brown suit and pink tie. His hair is trimmed short and his skin is a medium brown, like his eyes.

Although he is moved by the same desire for greed as his wife and his siblings-in-law and will fiercely question others when he suspects that they are hiding something, Hideyoshi shows himself as an affable and jovial man. He does not fail to affirm his love for his family and will support his wife when she gets out of line.


Umineko When They Cry

Jessica is a very pretty and slender fair-skinned young girl with rather curly blonde hair, usually tied up in a ponytail. Her eyes are black in the original visual novel color and have varying colors between adaptations:

Grayish-blue eyes in the anime Clearer blue in the PS3 version

Most of the time, she wears a blue jacket with a white blouse and a red tie underneath, combined with a red miniskirt, knee-length stockings and black shoes. She wears the One-Winged Eagle on her sleeve. Her sleeves cover her hands a bit.

Jessica is hot-headed and acts like a tomboy, having a very crass manner of speaking. She has no interest in money or in the headship of the family and tends to act impulsively.
When it comes to talking about love, Jessica often gets flustered and can barely hide her feelings. Jessica is especially strong in her feelings towards Kanon and does everything she can to make him open up to her. When Jessica gets determined, there is nothing she cannot do.


Umineko When They Cry

He wears black clothing, boots, a chain connecting the lapels of his jacket and a black hat. He also wears a golden cross on his jacket. He has gray eyes and has a pale skin complexion.

Amakusa is a hot-blooded and open young man who cannot stand boredom. He is a laid-back and womanizing man with the outrageous ability to understand guns and other technology. Though, he has a greedy side for money, and throughout his life at different military camps/armies he has had a record of absences for no important reason. He is also quite talkative which resulted in him being fired by Eva.


Umineko When They Cry

Kanon appears to be a frail boy with medium-length dark gray hair and blue eyes (gray eyes in the manga and Golden Fantasia). He wears a black collared shirt with a purple cravat in the middle and red shorts. He also wears striped socks, brown shoes and his signature red hat.
For his casual wear, he wears a long black overcoat with a stand-up collar that covers the lower half of his face, dark pants with buckled belts tied together and wrapped around the knees, and black shoes.

Kanon is a serious and fervent servant, carrying out his master's orders thoroughly. He is also a bit frail and antisocial. He highly disapproves of Shannon's feelings and relationship with George , as he believes that he and Shannon are furniture , and thus not allowed to feel love. Kanon denies any human emotions in himself yet struggles with his feelings for Jessica .


Umineko When They Cry

Kasumi has silver hair going off to the side and wears a purple kimono.

Kasumi is very vindictive, showing contempt for Kyrie for abandoning her family and towards Ange just for resembling her.


Umineko When They Cry

Kinzo appears as a very old man with a receding hair line with a small beard and mustache. He wears a white suit with a One-Winged Eagle on his pants and a red undershirt, also imprinted with the One-Winged Eagle. He is also always seen wearing a long black cape with gold lining and the One-Winged Eagle imprinted near the top. While it is not shown, Kinzo is said to wear the Head's Ring on his finger. Kinzo is also said to have six toes on each foot as a result of his polydactyly.
When he was younger, Kinzo still had his white hair but wore a tan shirt and white undershirt, with a belt and tan pants to match. Young Kinzo has a strong resemblance to Battler .

As a young man, Kinzo was a rather jaded and lethargic individual, due to being used as a puppet by the elders of the Ushiromiya family to play the role of head most of his life. After meeting Beatrice, he was driven mad with love and sought to obtain her for himself.
As an old man, Kinzo appears to be rather insane, saying that "jumping out into the rainy sky on a mad night is nothing more than a bit of fun to go with a drink". His insanity and obsession with the occult, however, stems from losing Beatrice, who had died so long ago. He immersed himself in the occult in an effort to discover a way to revive her.
He dislikes his children because he knows that they will feast on the inheritance once he's died. However, in Twilight of the Golden Witch , Kinzo is shown to love his children, even going as far as to settle the inheritance issue. He also seems to care about his grandchildren, however he was furious when Battler left the Ushiromiya family six years prior.


Umineko When They Cry

Krauss is a man with gold colored hair, grey eyes and wears a red suit with a blue under shirt, yellow tie, and white boots. He bears the One-Winged Eagle on his shirt collar and the lapel of his suit jacket.

At first, Krauss is shown to be an arrogant person due to being the eldest and the one was thought by many to be Kinzo 's successor. He is disliked by his siblings, especially Eva , whom he had rivalry with and seemed to look down upon as she was a woman. He also appeared to be insensitive to his wife's feelings in Legend of the Golden Witch , incapable of understanding her.
Krauss's caring side
Krauss is also not as smart as he appeared to his siblings and is trying hard to gain approval from his father. As seen through Natsuhi 's point of view, he truly loves his wife and daughter despite them being the result of an arranged marriage, as well as his siblings. Krauss also has a friendlier, more childish side which was never shown to his siblings.


Umineko When They Cry

Beatrice appears as a Caucasian woman with ginger-blonde hair and blue eyes. Unfortunately for her, her father couldn't help but notice her striking resemblance to her deceased mother as she grew up.  She also wears a bow adorned with a rose in her hair, a choker, and ballgown-like dress. Her dress constantly switches from brown to dark brown across the different adaptations, appearing brown in both the anime and PS3 game.

Beatrice has a childlike mentality as a result of living an isolated life within a hidden mansion. She acts very polite and shows wonder in learning new things.


Umineko When They Cry

Kyrie is a tall and well-endowed woman with short white hair that has bangs swept to the right and onyx eyes. She wears a long black coat, a purple long sleeved purple shirt with a diamond-shaped mesh motif open on the right side underneath. She wears a black tie with a cross on it, a black buckled belt, black pants, and dark brown shoes.

Kyrie is a cool, calm and collected individual who is also quick-thinking, logical and very analytical. She is almost always analyzing people and situations using chessboard thinking , always considering the reasons why people might perform certain actions, down to the smallest things. Kyrie rarely loses her composure.
Kyrie has an extreme devotion and attraction towards Rudolf, bordering on obsession. Before they were married, she was sly and tried to get rid of girls who went after him, [2] and went as far as having a child with Rudolf to have him for herself. Kyrie also tried to set herself apart from other women by displaying knowledge about financial affairs and providing Rudolf with advice. When she and Asumu were both pregnant with Rudolf's children (the latter of which was married to him), she did not give up and wanted her child to be more superior than Asumu's, to the point that she wanted her and the child to be acknowledged by Rudolf.
Kyrie has a tendency to hold grudges, in particular with Asumu, who she believes stole Rudolf away from her. She wrote down many curses towards Asumu in a diary and reached a point where she plotted to kill her, but was saved the trouble when Asumu just died one day. [3] Even after Asumu's death, she hated her and to a certain extent, hated Battler; she was envious that Asumu could give birth and she couldn't. Kyrie even got rid of every picture of Asumu in Rudolf's house after marrying him and sent them to Battler. [4] She eventually developed a brother-sister like relationship with Battler, though she only acted like this because it was the mature way to act towards him. She even claimed to not care if Battler died as he is not her son, but would let him live as she knew Ange would be sad. As shown in Twilight of the Golden Witch , Kyrie breaks down upon learning Battler, who she has been resenting all those years, was her biological son all along.
In Requiem of the Golden Witch , when the gold was found and the murders between the siblings took place, she and Rudolf were the only ones who thought that the gold cannot be taken outside the island at that point and that the one billion cash card was the only thing she and Rudolf can use to gain a entire fortune. Because of that, Kyrie shows pragmatic behavior and sociopathic tendencies in not finding anything wrong with killing and enjoying it if she gains something and resolves her problems.


Umineko When They Cry

Lambdadelta appears as a girl in her teens with short, blonde hair. Her eyes are amber in the original visual novel and Pachi-Slot and red in the anime , console, and Higurashi Mei adaptations.
She wears a pink hat and dress and white-and-pink-striped stockings and shoes. Her dress is adorned with pumpkins and pinkish-red bows, some of which are candy-shaped. She also wears black long gloves.
In the console and Higurashi Mei adaptation, Lambdadelta has rather pointy canine teeth, which often can be seen accentuating her confident smirks and exuberant laughter.

Lambda's defining trait is how emotive she is. She always wants to have fun, even if the means to that end seem contradictory to her role. Lambda is playfully cruel and doesn't care what kind of suffering others go through so long as it entertains her, though she occasionally shows compassion. This is exemplified in Alliance of the Golden Witch where she takes Beatrice's side but tries to make Battler stand up and fight when he loses faith in himself. Lambda is arrogant, having declared herself the strongest witch in the universe at one point and claiming that she's had historical buildings erected in her honor after granting people's wishes.
On the other hand, Lambda isn't very diligent. In End of the Golden Witch , her records for the Court of Illusions, which she oversaw, are just several lines long as opposed to Bernkastel 's thousands of pages. [2] Lambda also has shades of idiocy, where she refers to herself as "super paper", a seeming acknowledgement of her thick-headedness, in reference to the rock-paper-scissors rivalry she has with Bern and Beatrice. Lambda's stupidity may just be an act however, as she will rarely take on a serious tone of voice. At other times, she remembers her Logic Error and breaks down. [3]

Leviathan tends to whine when she feels like she's getting left out.


Umineko When They Cry

Lion appears as an androgynous person with long blonde hair and gray eyes. Will describes Lion as either an effeminate young man or an assertive no-nonsense young woman, furthering their ambiguous gender. During the events of Requiem , Bernkastel hides Lion's gender by controlling the people around them, making them refer to Lion as "Successor-sama".
Lion wears what resembles a horse-riding uniform [2] consisting of a white collared shirt with a green brooch and pink scarf, a red jacket, short red pants, and gray boots, with the Ushiromiya crest on their left collar and left side of their pants. Upon their middle finger is the silver successor's ring. Like Kinzo, they have polydactyly.

Lion is a mild and polite person without any clear faults. They believe in equality regardless of gender or rank. Because of this trait in their personality, they dislike the fact that they are called "Successor-sama" by the rest of the family. They also do not like rude people and tend to pinch their butts, regardless of their sex. According to one of Ryukishi's 'in-character' answers on Twitter, Lion thinks that regardless of gender, one should be able to stand in the kitchen. [3]
Because people would often ask questions on the topic of their gender, Lion admits to having a bit of a complex towards these questions. When Will asks what Lion's gender is, Lion presents a retort, suggesting the answer to Will's question should be obvious.

Umineko When They Cry

Manon has long brown hair, fair skin and big gray eyes. Her clothes are the same as the other female Ushiromiya servants.

Little is shown of her, but out of all the servants, Manon appears to be the kindest as she is friends with Jessica and Shannon and banters with them a lot.


Umineko When They Cry

Maria has short, light brown hair, fair skin, and violet eyes. When she smiles she appears sometimes to have a snaggle tooth. She is of short stature due to her young age and weighs 28 kilograms (61 pounds). Maria wears a pale pink long-sleeve button-down shirt, with frills of the same color on the shoulders and the collar. Over this, she wears a black corset which has the One-Winged Eagle adorned on the left side.
Maria also wears a black skirt with a pink stripe at the bottom and a lacy slip underneath with white knee-high socks with a lacy rim at the top and red shoes that buckle over the top of the foot and around the ankle. She is also said to carry a pink purse.
As the Witch of Origins, MARIA wears a black dress with red bows and a pink cravat. She also carries a One-Winged Eagle staff that she channels her magic through. In both forms, Maria wears a small black crown on her head, which is tied with a red ribbon whose bow sits just under her chin.

Maria is a child of elementary-school age (in the first episode, her mother confirms that she is "nine and a fourth grader"), though usually acts as though she is much younger. This often gets her in trouble with her mother and earns her a slap or two on the cheek. Normally she acts younger than her age but seen as cute by many. But when talking about witches, her personality changes and acts creepily. She also becomes defensive when someone rejects witches and magic which she believes to help her become happy. It is often affirmed and demonstrated that she is not capable of lying and that, even if what she says and thinks proves to be false, she continues to repeat the opposite only because she believes in it with all of her spirit. It is for this reason that she often argues with her cousin Battler over whether or not Beatrice is real and refuses to accept the idea that magic could not exist. In Requiem of the Golden Witch , Willard and Jessica theorize that the reason why Maria completely changes her tone of voice and behavior when speaking of magic and witches is to provoke everyone around her, rooted in her desire to be considered important and worthy of being heard by adults by boasting knowledge on a topic which is unknown to them.
She deeply loves her mother Rosa and even believes that the abusive and neglectful side of her mother is not her mother but a witch possessing her to do horrible things. She even went as far as to defend Rosa's actions in her diary and through Sakutarou 's thoughts which in turns are her own thoughts when Rosa is not being a good mother.
There are even times when she stated she does not need anyone but just her mother.
However, it is only after the visit of a social worker who claimed that Rosa had left her alone to go on vacation without her instead of working, and destroying Chiester 556 and Sakutaro that Maria starts losing all trust in her mother and begins to resent her abuse and her apparent negligence towards her. This is what ultimately drives her to revolt not only against her mother but also against her entire family in favor of Beatrice and the witches. However, she's well aware that part of her continues to desire Rosa's presence and love in her life.
At school she was bullied due to the fact that she takes low grades and prefers to play with her toys rather than with other children and, despite saying that she doesn't care as long as she has Sakutaro, she suffers a lot while hiding it, telling Ange that she is happy to be the one who is tormented rather than another child.
Later it is revealed that her reference to witches comes from the behavior of a person. For example, when Rosa gets violent, she is seen as the Black Witch by Maria. The same goes for Beatrice .


Umineko When They Cry

Masayuki has gray hair and wears a white coat over a white shirt and green tie.

Masayuki is very jaded when it comes to matters surrounding the Rokkenjima Mass Murders , as he has been faced with many people trying to interview him about it. He especially hates that the press has disregarded his father's previous achievements.
