Age: 1000+ Birthday: 29 November Blood Type: O Likes: Ice cream, black tea, Dislikes: Boredom, The Golden Witch and Endless Witch, and arguably the primary antagonist of the series. She is affectionately referred to as "Beato." She first appears in the "Tea Party" of Legend of the Golden Witch, where she confronts Battler over his refusal to accept that his friends and family were killed by magic, and challenges him to a game in which he must prove otherwise from Turn of the Golden Witch onward. A witch who has lived for over a thousand years, she is said to appear as a cloud of golden butterflies, and has the power to summon higher demons among the seventy-two pillars to serve her. It is said that humans can summon her to have their wishes granted in exchange for compensation, though she often acts whimsically. She is the one rumored to have given Kinzou ten tons of gold and served under him as the alchemic advisor to the Ushiromiya family. (Source: 07th Expansion Wiki)

Birthdate: July 15, 1968 Horoscope: Cancer Blood type: O Likes: mystery novels Dislikes: high places, vehicles Battler is the eighteen-year-old son of Rudolf and his first wife Asumu, and is generally considered to be the main protagonist of the series. He is extremely stubborn, and is afraid of "shaky" transportation, fearing he might fall off a boat. At first glance, he appears to be hotheaded, cocky, and even a little perverted (given the fact that he tries to grope young ladies and even his cousin Jessica several times). However, he has a heart of gold he isn't afraid to show when the situation calls for it. Battler is also an extremely rational young man, and has an extreme talent for deductive reasoning and thinking outside the box, described as "flipping the chessboard" so that he may be able to predict the moves and motives of his opponents. Because of this, he does not believe in witches or magic. This causes some conflict with his cousin Maria, who has immersed herself in studies of the occult and believes strongly in witches, especially the Golden Witch Beatrice.

Age: 1000+ Birthday: August 21 Likes: Dried plum black tea, getemono, spicy things Dislikes: Boredom, Famous quote: "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." Frederica Bernkastel is known as the Witch of Miracles. It is said that she resides in a world where concepts such as fate and probability can be visualized. Despite this, she has a pretty twisted personality and described herself as the "cruelest witch in the world." Unlike other witches she has lifeless eyes. She appears to see Beatrice's game to solve her boredom, and unable to stand seeing the player getting tortured by Beatrice's game, she assists the player by giving some hints around the workings of the game. Her "Magic of Miracles" allows her to reset a desperate situation as long as the probability of a favorable situation is not equal to zero (Similar to Hanyuu's power to reset time). She wants to defeat Beatrice, regardless of the means used for this objective. Throughout Umineko no Naku Koro ni, she maintains an icy and aloof calm in most situations, though by the end of Alliance of the Golden Witch and throughout Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru, she is shown to be just as impish and playfully cruel as Lambdadelta.

Famous quote: "Without love, it cannot be seen? Hah. That's backwards. Because of love, you end up seeing things that don't even exist." Birthday: 4 October Blood Type: B Likes: Mystery novels, her master Dislikes: Useless subordinates, being defeated The main antagonist and self-proclaimed intellectual rapist of End of the Golden Witch and Dawn of the Golden Witch. She is a young detective introduced in End of the Golden Witch. A blue-haired girl estimated by Genji to be about Jessica's age, 18, she's highly intelligent and possesses a photographic memory. She's quite polite in public and shows a deep interest in mysteries. In reality, she's quite ruthless and cunning and only solves mysteries, so she can sneer at those who pose them. She does, however, possess a serious inferiority complex, since she emotionally breaks down whenever things aren't in her favor.

Famous quote: "Both love and happiness are the same as the air. Even though it fills the world, if you don't understand it, it's the same as if it doesn't exist." Age: 1000+ Birthday: 20 June Blood Type: Unknown Likes: Candy bars Dislikes: Boredom, being ignored She is also known as the Most Powerful Witch in the Universe before losing to Bernkastel and is feared by most other witches, including Beatrice. She is quite childish and holds a grudge against Bernkastel for finally beating her in their last game, although she actually cares for her. Her "Magic of Certainty" allows her to kill anyone without fail as an absolute result, which bends the basic rule of Umineko magic requiring a risk. Like Bernkastel, she is a Voyager. She wishes for Battler and Beatrice to fight against each other for eternity as a part of a larger plot to have Bernkastel lose against her. She has lived for a thousand years. As a witch, she embodies the concept that 'hard-workers are rewarded', and is very respected even by human beings. She doesn't flee from the human concept of witch. Hence, the power of hers, who is a being respected by human beings, is immeasurable. However, she is whimsical about whose efforts she will reward and, in many situations, the person who can please her more will be able to receive her smile. Her tremendous and swiftly fierce power makes any kind of witch surrender in a moment. However, she seems to be reckless and it was thoroughly read by Bernkastel. (Source: 07th Expansion Wiki)
