Character Information

St. Germain (CV: Minako Kotobuki)
An alchemist who is an executive member of the Pavaria Koumei Kosha.
She is a beautiful woman dressed as a man.
There are various points of achievement in alchemy, but all of them aim for "perfection".
St. Germain, who has transformed his body into a perfect object and perfected it into a life that will live forever, attempts to create "divine power" in order to fulfill the ideals he holds dear to his heart.

Cagliostro (CV: Shota Aoi)
An alchemist who is an executive member of the Pavarria Optical Society.
Both Prelati and Cagliostro used to be male, but after meeting Saint Germain, their alchemy is perfected into a "woman" with a biologically perfect body structure.
She attains immortality and longevity.
Originally, she was a well-known deceiver who was riddled with lies, but now that she has a perfect body, she acts as if she doesn't want to lie about her feelings.

Prelati (CV: Rina Hidaka)
She is an alchemist who is an executive member of the Pavaria Koumei Kosha.
When she met Saint Germain and was struck by his true alchemy, she became his collaborator in order to fulfill his ideals.
He used to indulge himself in vanity and pleasure, but when St. Germain transformed him into a perfect body, he changed his laziness and perfected himself as a diligent researcher.
Nevertheless, his former sexuality still occasionally peeks out, and he sometimes gives priority to enjoyment.
