Meet the characters from Goblin Slayer

Goblin Slayer

Goblin Slayer is that grim, relentless guy who treats goblins like a math problem — cold, precise, and a little obsessed, in the best/worst way. He’s all about preparation: maps, traps, helmets, and an alarming number of knives (also, does he have a favorite mug? I feel like he does, but that might be me). He never wastes words but somehow you always know what he’s thinking, which is both comforting and unsettling. He’s not a loner by choice so much as by instinct, and honestly he’s kind of a walking paradox — terrifying on the job, oddly domestic off it (I’m 70% sure he waters plants?).

Onna Shinkan (Priestess)

Priestess is adorably earnest and painfully earnest, like someone who says “let’s do our best!” and then proceeds to spout divine magic with sparkling eyes. She’s brave in a very squeaky-voiced way — learns fast, asks questions later, and is shockingly resilient when it matters. She’s compassionate and tries to keep the team together, though she occasionally faints at extremely inconvenient moments (or maybe she doesn’t faint, I can never remember, but she definitely gasps dramatically). Also, she has this weird habit of counting candles? No idea why, but it’s cute.

Dwarf Shaman

Dwarf Shaman is this gruff, bearded spell-slinger who loves rituals, ale, and tiny carved idols like they’re going out of style — he’s folklore incarnate. He’ll mutter ancestral curses (or blessings?) under his breath and then offer you a surprisingly tender war story, probably while polishing a horn. He’s stubborn as a boulder but has an unexpectedly silly laugh that shows up at the least appropriate times. Also, he claims to hate modern trinkets but keeps losing small charms and accusing the elf — classic.

Elf

Elf is elegant, aloof, and a little smug but in a way that’s secretly endearing; she moves like a leaf in unfairly slow motion. She’s ancient or at least feels ancient, loves nature, and collects tiny shiny things she insists are “for research” (raccoon-level kleptomania but make it elf politics). She’s sarcastic, ridiculously good at archery, and always knows exactly when to roll her eyes; yet she’ll also buy the group snacks like a soft older sibling, which is confusing but appreciated. Also, she totally remembers ancient legends but not where she left her cloak — very relatable.

Lizard Priest

Lizard Priest is this calm, swampwise believer who speaks like an old proverb and probably eats things you’d call “exotic” at breakfast. He’s deeply spiritual, has weirdly practical wisdom — like “beware bridges at noon” — and hits you with those one-line life lessons that sting in the best way. He’s stoic but has a soft spot for children and small mammals, and is probably responsible for more moral debates around the campfire than anyone wants. Little odd detail: he hums lullabies that sound suspiciously catchy and now I can’t get them out of my head.

Majo

Majo is flamboyant, fierce mage energy — dramatic robes, theatrical spells, and the kind of laugh that signals trouble (in a thrilling way). She’s brilliant and a bit chaotic, like she learned arcane theory at midnight in a thunderstorm because why not, and sometimes she misplaces entire potions drawers (or claims she didn’t). She loves attention but would absolutely deny it if you asked; also she bakes? No, wait, she doesn’t bake, but she once conjured cupcakes for morale and refused to admit it was cute. She’s dangerous and fabulous, often in equal measure.

Uketsuke-jou (Guild Girl)

Guild Girl is the organizational heart, endlessly patient, and slightly overwhelmed but always managing to keep chaos at bay with a stamp and a sigh. She knows everyone’s rank, schedules, and probably their favorite tea, and will both scold you and file your paperwork with terrifying efficiency. She’s not just a clerk — low-key she’s seen everything and remembers it, which is a little spooky, but also comforting because hey, someone’s always got the receipts. Also, she sometimes doodles tiny monsters in the margins of contracts? Don’t tell her boss I told you.

Ushikai Musume (Cow Girl)

Cow Girl is this big-hearted farm girl who smells faintly of hay and is inexplicably at home with giant livestock and awkward travelers alike. She’s gentle, surprisingly strong (physically and emotionally), and has a quiet wisdom that sneaks up on you — like she’ll solve a problem by feeding it and then hugging it into submission. She talks plain, loves animals more than people (but secretly also likes people? Kind of both), and probably owns twelve mismatched aprons. Honestly, she could calm a berserker with a bowl of stew and a soft look; I would bet money on that.
