Choco: He
Matcho: She
Poisonous mushroom: It
Dark Sorceress: She
Starfruit: She

Dark Enchantress (Manager): Rarely appears, but effectively. Demands profits, yells over every broken plate, threatens to fire (or turn into crumbs). Garnet (Chef): A true tyrant with a perfectly coiffed hairdo. Her recipes are law. Constantly lectures the sous-chef and cooks. Loves exquisite presentation. Velvet (Sous-chef): The only one who can argue with Garnet. Manages the "meat" department. Constantly tries to feed the cake hounds with restaurant scraps, which causes an argument with Garnet. Licorice (Chef #1): Considers himself a genius, but constantly screws up. Complains about life to his summoned servants (whom he uses as unpaid potato peelers). Dark Choco (Chef #2): The most sullen and silent chef. He's given the hardest jobs (chopping meat, kneading dough with a giant sword). He works mechanically and is deeply unhappy. Matcha (Cook #3): Strange, intimidating, and constantly muttering under her breath. Her dishes look like witch's brew, but surprisingly, they're incredibly delicious. Poisonous Mushroom (Cleaner): Utterly useless. He smears dirt all over the floor and makes friends with mold in the corners. No one fires him because he's too nice (or everyone's afraid of him).
