Meet the characters from Wonder Egg Priority

Ai Ohto

Ai is this quietly electric tornado of feelings — awkward in the best way, with headphones, a missing eye aesthetic (well, a cool patch) and a habit of saying things bluntly then blushing about it. She’s the awkward glue of the group, stubbornly brave even when she’s terrified, always stepping into the mess because someone has to; also probably hoards tiny snacks in her pockets, no really. There’s a melancholy depth to her that shows up in late-night silence and art scribbles, but she also has these weirdly specific bursts of dry humor that catch you off guard. She’s sorting herself out in real time, which is messy and hopeful and kind of the point.

Acca

Acca is this serious, game-master-y sprite who rules parts of the Dreaming with this strange calm — like, bureaucratic but also mythic, yes? He’s cryptic in a way that makes you want to both trust him and double-check his motives, and he carries secrets like a neat little stack of papers (or maybe postcards, your call). He can be comforting and chill but also has that uncanny ability to make you feel very small — in a good, existential way? Also, I swear he hums to himself sometimes when no one’s looking.

Ura-Acca

Ura-Acca is like Acca’s shadow-twin but crankier and more theatrical — all dramatic hand gestures and sardonic smiles, probably collects weird tea cups. He’s chaotic in a smirky, clever way, always ready to stir the pot and drop a meta-comment that makes the whole room tilt. Beneath the showmanship, there’s a loyalty that surprises you, like he’s loud to keep scary things from getting too close. Also, he may or may not enjoy terrible puns; I can’t be sure, but I think he does.

Neiru Aonuma

Neiru is the cool, composed analytical type who reads like someone who writes equations for feelings — precise, observant, and prone to tiny, almost-hidden smiles. She’s logical to a fault (and then not — because she cares too much, obviously), always thinking three steps ahead but secretly soft about people having messy hearts. She gives off librarian energy but with an experimental streak: journals, notes, and maybe a weird fondness for old movies she claims she “wasn’t emotionally invested in.” There’s an intensity there that’s quietly heroic and kind of heartbreaking.

Rika Kawai

Rika is pure chaotic glitter — loud, brash, and kind of exhausting in the best way; she slams into rooms like a confetti cannon. She’s clingy and needy but also ferociously loyal, with this compulsive optimism that’s sometimes her shield and sometimes her downfall. She wears her feelings on her sleeve and sometimes in very questionable outfits, but she’ll also be the first to apologize and then immediately demand snacks. Underneath all the noise though, there’s a real ache and courage that flips the whole dynamic when you least expect it.

Momoe Sawaki

Momoe is soft-spoken and unnervingly wise, like someone who learned too much too young but keeps it wrapped in childlike politeness — cookies and quiet defiance. She’s got this gentle horror-movie calm, smiling as if she knows the secret and won’t ruin the surprise, which makes her both eerie and comforting. She cares through small gestures — leaving notes, fixing tiny things — and somehow makes grief look like a small, solemn ritual. Also, she might like stuffed animals in a very specific, organizationally correct way (arranged by color, obviously).

Tae Ohto

Tae is the fierce, no-nonsense anchor; she’s Momoe’s mom and a blend of exhausted protectiveness and sharp, hot anger when things get real. She’s practical to the bone and doesn’t suffer nonsense, but she also has these very private moments where she’s surprisingly goofy, humming old songs while doing chores — I’m pretty sure. She’s terrified of losing people and that fear makes her sometimes overbearing, but she’d throw herself into a storm for anyone she loves. Her strength is big and messy and kind of beautiful and very human.

Shuichiro Sawaki

Shuichiro is that complicated dad energy — distant but trying, stoic with a soft underbelly that leaks in tiny moments (a small, awkward smile, a forgotten birthday cake). He’s practical and sometimes painfully pragmatic, but there’s a guilt and tenderness simmering under the surface that explains a lot of his quiet decisions. He can come off cold, yes, yet he does things like keep receipts and remember odd details, which is his weird love language. Also, I’ve decided he has a surprisingly terrible sense of direction? Doesn’t fit but there you go.
