Ratsu (CV: Atsushi Abe) is a gentle and earnest boy that meets Plum during a battle against a giant monster. He suddenly declares himself her servant and becomes her squire. He fights with a bow and can often offer valuable advice due to the common sense he learned by growing between the commoners of the kingdom.

  
Uni (CV: Hiromi Igarashi) is the craft master of castle Okakae and a calm and reassuring girl. Despite that she hides a sharp tongue that often contrasts with her cute appearance. She’s also an old friend of Plum. When she sees Ratsu joining the princess as her squire she decides to follow suit.

Shigt (CV: Junji Majima) King Goose of Schuvert: he’s Plum’s brother and the king of Schuvert. he’s also a goose. Yes, you read it correctly. Of course he used to be human, but he’s been turned into his current feathered self by an unspecified event. He gets along well with Plum and they have a good brotherly relationship. Despite his condition, he’s a natural optimist.
