Ralsei

Lightners, on the other hand, can persist in any Dark World and can travel to multiple Dark Worlds without consequence. They can visit Dark Worlds by entering their corresponding Hometown locations. Lightners have only been able to leave Dark Worlds via two methods: by sealing that world's Dark Fountain, and by using the Castle Town entrance. Darkners can be transported between Dark Worlds by Lightners moving their Hometown counterpart objects.

So far, Darkners appear incapable of opening Dark Fountains, since Queen sought out Noelle as a means to open additional Fountains. Moreover, up until Chapter 3, it was unclear whether a Dark Fountain could be created inside a Dark World, or what effect that would produce (though Berdly almost attempted this at the end of Chapter 2). However, Dark Worlds can directly connect to each other if their Fountains in Hometown are physically adjacent, as shown with the Closet Dark World and Card Kingdom. Curiously, Ralsei, Jevil, and Starwalker, who are presumed to be Darkners, are able to persist in other Dark Worlds without consequence, unlike other Darkners. Ralsei can also travel from one Dark World to another without the assistance of a Lightner. It's possible Ralsei is able to persist because he's from the Closet Dark World; since this Dark World's fountain is one of "pure darkness", this might mean Ralsei is "compatible" with all other Dark Worlds.

If Lightners receive harm in the Dark World, this is reflected in Hometown. This is reflected in the fate of Berdly based on what happens to him in the Cyber World. If Queen is defeated through violence in her battle, Berdly removes the plug on his face himself, electrocuting and burning his right arm; when Berdly awakens in Hometown, he proves unable to move his right arm. Similarly, if Berdly is defeated by Noelle's "Fatal" spell, he does not wake with the other Lightners after the Cyber World's Dark Fountain is sealed.

Dark Worlds are powered by Dark Fountains, which an individual can create by projecting their "determination" into a sharp object and piercing the ground.[1] When the surrounding environment becomes subsumed in darkness, the Fountain gives form to a Dark World.

Each Dark World represents the contents of the Hometown location where the Dark Fountain was created. For example, the Hometown location of the Card Kingdom Dark World is the unused classroom. The classroom contains a rug with a similar color to the Field, a checkerboard corresponding to the Great Board, and a cupboard filled with playing cards similar to Card Castle.

Several Dark World objects have much more mundane Hometown equivalents: Kris's weapons correspond to pencils or an Eraser, and the Shadow Crystal corresponds to a shard of Glass. However, some objects, such as Noelle's Silver Watch and the Egg, directly match their Hometown counterparts.

Dark Worlds are populated by beings known as Darkners, who call the inhabitants of Hometown/the Light World "Lightners". As with their surroundings, many, if not all Darkners correspond to items found in a Dark Fountain's immediate vicinity. For example, Top Chef appears to be the personified version of a spinning top, Seam resembles the purple stuffed animal lying against the back wall of the unused classroom, etc. In addition, Spamton is believed to represent spam emails, which suggests Darkners do not have to be based on physical objects. Darkners only reliably persist within the Dark World from which they originate. Though a Darkner can visit Dark Worlds other from where they originated, they risk turning to stone (possibly due to them being "incompatible" with the theme of that world), although they will make a full recovery when returned to a compatible Dark World. The Closet Dark World is the one exception to this, since its Dark Fountain emits pure darkness, meaning Darkners hailing from any Dark World will persist there.

The Legend of Delta Rune is a legend known among the Darkners.

When Kris and Susie arrive in Castle Town for the first time, they meet a mysterious hooded figure (later revealed to be Ralsei) who offers to tell them the legend. Ralsei claims that the legend was foretold by time and space. If Kris and Susie decline to listen to the legend, Lancer instead summarizes it when he intrudes. Once upon a time, a LEGEND was whispered among shadows. It was a LEGEND of HOPE. It was a LEGEND of DREAMS. It was a LEGEND of LIGHT. It was a LEGEND of DARK. This is the legend of DELTA RUNE For millenia, LIGHT and DARK have lived in balance, Bringing peace to the WORLD. But if this harmony were to shatter... a terrible calamity would occur. The sky will run black with terror And the land will crack with fear. Then, her heart pounding... The EARTH will draw her final breath. Only then, shining with hope... Three HEROES appear at WORLDS' edge. A HUMAN, A MONSTER, And a PRINCE FROM THE DARK. Only they can seal the fountains And banish the ANGEL'S HEAVEN. Only then will balance be restored, And the WORLD saved from destruction. Today, the FOUNTAIN OF DARKNESS- The geyser that gives this land form- Stands tall at the center of the kingdom. But recently, another fountain has appeared on the horizon... And with it, the balance of LIGHT and DARK begins to shift...

Ralsei is not intimidated by Lancer; he finds his antics amusing and sometimes "a bit anticlimactic." In an attempt to make fun of Ralsei, Lancer calls him names like "sweet basket of eggs," "toothpaste boy," "Sweet Little Peas We Love to See," and other names along those lines. Even though their rivalry isn't very strong to begin with, the two officially become friends after Lancer and Susie lose the fight against the team. When Kris and Susie are preparing to leave, he tells them to say goodbye to Ralsei for him, even though Ralsei isn't leaving, because he's "a sweet little peach," indicating that their rivalry has completely faded. They have more interactions during Chapter 2 and Ralsei even makes a room for him in his castle (along with the ones he made for Kris and Susie as well).

Ralsei With Susie: Ralsei wants to be friends with Susie for the same reason he wants to befriend Kris. However, Susie doesn't appreciate the way Ralsei tries to coach her, as he constantly teaches her to be nice to others. Susie eventually abandons the party and forms a rivalry with Ralsei. However, this rivalry is more childish than hateful; Susie tends to mock him, calling him "toothpaste boy" during her time with Lancer. Ralsei, on the other hand, seems to regret having offended Susie and still cares about her. After Susie joins the party again, she eventually decides to stop making fun of Ralsei after he promises to bake cakes for her.

They interact more during Chapter 2, and Ralsei even heals Susie after she falls off the trash pile in Cyber City. Later, when they split up from Kris, they hang out as a duo and teach some things to each other, slowly improving their relationship.

Ralsei With Kris: Ralsei deeply cares about Kris. He wants to befriend Kris in order to create the trio of heroes mentioned in the prophecy, which he wishes to fulfill. Ralsei is very respectful and friendly to Kris, even to the point of offering to fan Kris with a leaf like a servant or pretending that he is okay with being hit. Even if Kris acts rudely towards Ralsei, he won't be offended by them, and may even blame himself. Ralsei also appears to be easily embarrassed or intimidated by Kris as it's easy for Kris to make him blush, as seen when Kris stands close to him. They are a duo for the half of Chapter 1, before Susie changes her ways and joins them again.

They have more moments with each other during Chapter 2 and spend more time as a team of two when Susie temporarily splits up from them.

In Chapter 3, Ralsei expresses his regret and guilt at not being able to be there for Kris in the Light World, and even asks Kris if they could buy something from the festival for Susie and pretend its from him, showing how much he trusts Kris.

Pacify: Requires 16% TP. If the enemy is tired or sleepy, Ralsei can cast this spell to instantly SPARE them. "SPARE a tired enemy by putting them to sleep"

Like the rest of his animations when casting a spell, Ralsei holds his hands together looking down with a yellow aura around him, then looking up holding a yellow sparkle in his hand.

Heal Prayer: Requires 32% TP. Depending on his Magic stat, he heals a small amount of the selected party member's health. "Heavenly light restores a little HP to one party member. Depends on Magic."

It can also be used outside of battle by selecting it in the stats menu, but only due to glitches, as TP does not last outside of battle. The most accessible example of this behavior is immediately after the solo battle between Susie and Lancer. The game's TP value is not reset, allowing the spell's use in the overworld up to three times with high enough TP. It heals 100 HP when used in the overworld, and 5 HP per Magic point when used in battle.

R-Action: Unlike other spells, this one doesn't require any TP. It is a variant of Susie's S-Action where Ralsei does Kris's selected act, much like paired ACTs except that Ralsei can choose to do it with another enemy. In some boss fights, R-Action is replaced with an available act such as "Bump" during the first fight against Berdly, "Loosen"/"Toast" during the Queen fight, or "Snap" during the fight against Spamton NEO. Susie forces Ralsei to learn this spell during the fight against Sweet Cap'n Cakes.

Ralsei bows and stars and hearts come forward like Kris.

Upon completing the board, Ralsei says goodbye to the audience as the credits roll, suddenly, out of the blue, Tenna just karate chops the credits and says something about gameshows having more than one round... the gang goes to Tenna's Green Room..

Ralsei appears shortly after Kris and Susie wake up in the Dark World, stating he felt a dark presence. He and Susie then begin chatting for a bit, Susie saying how fun it would be if Ralsei came to the Light World with her and Kris. The topic seems to sadden Ralsei. Soon enough, Susie asks Ralsei if he'd like to go to the festival with her and Kris. Ralsei says he can't and solemnly explains to Susie that Darkners cannot enter the Light World, and even if they did, they would just revert back into normal objects. Ralsei begins berating himself for selfishly feeling sad that he can't be there for her and Kris, and tells Susie that if or any of the other Darkners aren't enough, she should just forget about them and make real friends. Susie is angry at this, and grabs Ralsei by the neck, telling him she won't forget about him. Shortly after, Tenna appears and attempts to make the trio contestants in his gameshow. Susie initially refuses, but Ralsei, still wishing to have fun with Kris and Susie, manages to convince her to go along with it. He and the rest of the party then follow Tenna so they can start the show.

Ralsei is a bit nervous, but Susie tells him to toughen up as the shows about to start. Tenna brings all three on stage, and after a quantity the audience with their names, introduces the first round: A board of his own game, "Legend of Tenna". At first, Ralsei is unfamiliar with the controls, asking if he can read the manual again, with Tenna responding that there's no time. Ralsei will follow Kris' character as they move it around the board. After Susie consumes the Power Croissant, she can throw Ralsei to get Lancer down from the cactus, so that they may enlist his help in obtaining a key. Upon collecting two more Keys, the party can progress to the Physical Challenge, where Kris must catch food cooked by Ralsei.

After Susie reunites with them by landing on Ralsei, they go to defeat Queen. After a fight that ends when Berdly is unplugged from the wire Queen uses to control him, she runs away to her mecha, GIGA Queen, which she uses to attack the party. With the help of Berdly and all the Darkners they recruited, they create a giant Thrash Machine so they can beat her. After the fight, Berdly, who has turned his back on her after being unplugged, decides to build his own Dark World, as he learned from Queen that any Lightner can do so, but Ralsei interrupts him and teaches everyone about the Roaring. Queen admits not being aware of it and apologizes for antagonizing the party. Ralsei tells Queen about Castle Town while Kris and Susie go to seal the Dark Fountain.

Ralsei is later encountered in Castle Town, after Kris has re-populated the Town with recruits from the Cyber World. Ralsei introduces Queen to her new life.

Ralsei suggests riding them to reach the Dark Fountain, but during their ride, they meet Queen waiting for them and sending Berdly to fight. After winning the battle, Queen tells the party that the roller-coaster is not finished before letting them crash into Cyber City's Trash Zone down below. After landing into Trash Zone, Susie is hurt and Ralsei asks her if she wants him to check. She declines but he does it anyway, using a healing spell by hugging her. Ralsei then proposes to teach her his healing spell, and she accepts. Before leaving the Trash Zone, Ralsei informs Kris about adjusting their inventory, to which Susie comments that it seems like useful information.

Entering the city, the path splits in a fork. Ralsei asks Kris with whom they want to go but Susie thinks it is her time to decide and goes with Ralsei while Kris continues alone.

Normal Route Later, Kris sees Ralsei eating cotton candy with Susie. Ralsei and Susie spend a lot of time together off-screen, during which Ralsei teaches her how to cast a healing spell.

Ralsei and Susie eventually reunite with Kris and, after a couple of puzzles, finally reach Queen's Mansion. At the entrance, Queen captures Kris, Susie, Berdly and Noelle but does not have a cage for Ralsei, making him her butler instead. After Kris, Susie and Berdly break free from their rooms thanks to Lancer, Susie brings Lancer to Ralsei to heal his sudden illness, but Lancer turns to stone and Ralsei explains that he is not compatible with this Dark World and must be sent back to Castle Town. Berdly asks Susie to follow him to save Noelle, leaving Ralsei alone with Kris. Ralsei and Kris ride on a floating swan to travel through Queen's acid lake. During the ride, they discuss his relationship with Kris and Susie. After a fight with Rouxls Kaard, they reach the end of the acid lake where they take a photo. After the ride, Ralsei asks Kris to close their eyes and imagine what Susie could be doing.

The next day, after Kris and Susie come back to Castle Town, they meet Ralsei again, who tells them that it felt like a long time since last seeing them, due to the fact that he's never had friends before so he's never had to wait for them to come back either. Susie asks where everyone is and Ralsei tells Kris to go to the unused classroom to the east of the storage closet gather everything and bring it back to the Dark World.

After Kris returns and all the Dark World citizens appear, Ralsei takes Susie and Kris up to his castle, showing them their rooms in the castle. He tells them that they could go there no matter what is happening outside. Once Kris is prepared to leave, Susie brings up that she doesn't want to do their group project, to which Ralsei responds with "banishing" them from the kingdom until the project is done, believing that school is important.

In the Library, Kris and Susie find a new Dark World called the Cyber World, they meet Queen who has kidnapped Noelle and attempted to get rid of the two by sending Sweet Cap'n Cakes to fight them. Ralsei suddenly shows up and pacifies the Werewires. Somehow having learned about this new Dark World, he joins the party on their journey to seal this new Fountain and save Noelle. Traveling the Cyber Field, they encounter Queen, who challenges them at an arcade game. As Kris is too short to reach the controls, Ralsei assists them by letting them use him as a stool. Later, they encounter Werewire, a group of rebels who mistake the party for Queen's minions and initiate a battle with them. Ralsei suggests Kris to order the party to dance to distract the rebels from fighting them, but they are unable to make them all dance at the same time. Susie points out to Ralsei that she does not need Kris's orders to dance and teaches him to dance by himself. They eventually succeed and befriend the trio. Later, the party finds three roller-coasters themed after themselves.

Main Story Part 3: For example, during the second encounter with King Round, she defeats it by throwing Ralsei at its crown until it falls off.

Arriving at the roof of the castle, the party finally meets King, the keeper of the Dark Fountain who wants to rule over the Lightners. Ralsei tries to talk him out of fighting but King does not listen and starts a battle. When Ralsei tries to reason with King in-battle, the latter is amused by the naivety of Ralsei and simply laughs it off. After being defeated, King surrenders and apologizes for what he did, asking to solve their conflicts peacefully. Ralsei accepts his surrender and asks to befriend him, which King agrees to. Ralsei then heals King, but he immediately throws a surprise attack at the party and attempts to kill them, before being finally stopped either by Lancer or Ralsei depending on if the player has harmed any enemy or not (with the exception of the battle with the Dummy, Lancer (and also with Susie) and Jevil).

At the aftermath, Ralsei apologizes to Susie for thinking he could solve this fight peacefully as he realizes he put everyone in danger by buying into the surrender of King. Susie forgives him as she also learned that constant violence is not the answer either. Now that the Fountain is accessible, Ralsei tells Kris and Susie to go seal it, but before that, he bids them farewell and takes off his hat, revealing his face, much to Susie's surprise. He promises to bake her a cake at her return, and she promises to be nicer to him.

Susie, now in the party, does not get along well with Ralsei, due to Ralsei's pacifistic tendencies and Susie's combative tendencies clashing. This can cause C. Round to run away in its encounter. After travelling through the Great Board they reach King Round and initiate a battle. Susie focuses on attacking King Round, which turns out to be useless as it can heal itself infinitely. Ralsei, following Kris's advice, starts to bow, prompting the boss to do the same, until the crown that gives it power falls off its head and ends the battle. Ralsei calls out Susie on her uselessness during the battle and tells her to start acting like the hero she is. Susie, offended by his scolding, decides to join Lancer as a bad guy since he has actual admiration for her villainy.

During Kris and Ralsei's journey through the Forest, Ralsei becomes the target of many of Lancer and Susie's schemes. He is glad that Susie has finally found a friend and hopes the hostility between her and him does not last long. The two rival teams eventually start a battle, making the deal that the party which loses must join the winners. Regardless of the result, the two parties are united, with Lancer now siding with them. After Susie complains about her hunger, Ralsei offers to bake her a cake if she stops making fun of him, but she declines and laughs at him.

Lancer then turns his back on the party and sends a troop of Rudinn Rangers to jail them in the Card Castle dungeon. After waking up in the same cell as Kris, Ralsei asks them to find a way out. After they fail to do so, they hear Susie, who has managed to escape. While she looks for a way out, Ralsei tells Kris to imagine what she could be doing. They are eventually freed by Susie and the three take the elevator to go to the next castle floor. In the elevator, Susie tells Ralsei that she is willing to listen to him and resort to ACTing, much to Ralsei's gladness. Despite now being on better terms, Susie does still find joy in teasing Ralsei.

Main History: Until meeting Kris and Susie, Ralsei lived alone in Castle Town, not having any subjects despite his title of prince. It is unclear if other inhabitants ever existed at some point. Ralsei knew about the Prophecy and waited for Kris and Susie before finally meeting them. Ralsei is the first Darkner that Kris and Susie encounter upon their arrival into the Castle Town. He appears as a hooded figure who greets the two by their names at the door of his castle. He introduces himself as a "Prince of Darkness" and tells the two classmates about the Prophecy, explaining that Kris, Susie and he are the heroes and must perform their duty of saving the world. Susie shows no interest in doing so. After being interrupted by Lancer bumping into him and initiating a brief fight with Kris and Susie, Ralsei takes off his cloak and properly introduces himself.

As Susie refuses to join the party, Ralsei ends up with Kris only. He first teaches them how to fight in the Dark World using a Dummy. He tells Kris that fighting is not necessary and teaches them how to deal peacefully with enemies encountered. The two get to know each other better from this interaction, after which Ralsei offers Kris a Manual of instructions. FIGHTing the Dummy or tossing the manual saddens Ralsei. After that, the two enter the Card Kingdom, beginning at the Field. On their way, they run multiple times onto Lancer, who is unsuccessfully trying to antagonize them on his father's will. Ralsei, seeing how ineffective Lancer is, is not threatened by him and instead tries his best to befriend him. They also meet many enemies and other Darkners warning them about Susie's ravage and beating. Ralsei becomes worried and tells Kris they have to stop her as soon as possible. They finally find her, stuck at a puzzle that requires three party members to solve. After solving the puzzle, Ralsei convinces Susie that she cannot continue alone and should join the party.

Personality: Ralsei is very humble and kind, showing genuine care for the well-being of his friends to the point of selflessness. At the beginning of Chapter 1, Ralsei tries his best to befriend Kris and Susie in order to fulfill The Prophecy with them. Trying to be on good terms, he shows reluctance at getting angry and appears disappointed when Kris or Susie act mean. Nevertheless, Ralsei remains convinced that they have good in them and that fighting is not necessary in this world. His naivety almost costs him his life when he accepts King's fake-out surrender and heals him, allowing him to betray and defeat them. Ralsei learns from this to not always be so trustful of others. in chapter 2, he gets a bit more serious when Berdly attempts to make another dark fountain: he explains the roaring. In chapter 3, his personality and character development go deeper; he reveals that he believes he doesn't exist. In chapter 4, he acts weird by trying to go ahead, and while he claims to not know when to say things, he is shown to be anxious near the titan and darkness spawn, and after the titan's defeat, he is very distressed when he finds out Susie went ahead, attempting to stop her from seeing the final prophecy.

Appereance: Ralsei is depicted as a short Darkner. He initially wears a hooded, dark blue cloak which obscures his face, resembling the River Person. During Chapter 1, Ralsei's pointed green hat covers his horns, concealing his entire face in shadow. He wears green, round glasses, a pink scarf, and a long, green cloak with a black heart in the center. At the end of Chapter 1 and into Chapter 2, he is revealed to be strikingly similar to a younger Boss Monster, though he has pink horns. He also has new black sleeves, & no longer wears his hat. Sometime in Chapter 2, he becomes a butler for a bit, adorning a black tuxedo, a pink bowtie and a white shirt. He has his glasses off at one point in the same chapter, revealing that he has pink irises and eyeshadow with relatively long eyelashes. in Chapter 3, during the first physical challenge after the first board, he has a white apron with a pink bowtie (potentially his scarf) and a chef's hat with his black sleeves. During the rhythm game segment, he is dressed in a pair of black slacks, a black vest, and a silver necklace, along with a silver chain hanging off of his right pocket.

Ralsei is a Darkner. He claims to be the "Prince from the Dark", mentioned in the Prophecy.

Having weaker attack and less max health, and with the ability to cast healing spells, Ralsei acts as the party's healer. He wields a scarf in combat.
