Touwa
Towa is Astarte's clumsy and timid work partner. She works as an Undertaker, but also taked courses in a correspondence school (though she is terrible at it and often fails her grades). She looks up and respects Astarte, and always tries to be useful to her.

Later in the series, it is revealed that, Towa has amnesia and does not remember her home, her parents, or her previous life at all. She lived in a hospital, ad although the doctors said he was cured she still didnt regain her memory. One day, Astarte suddenly appeared before her and said, "come with me", which led to owa's employment to the Cradke Last Trust.

Even though she denies it at first, Towa cares deeply for astarte and becomes jealous when other girls, namely Linna, are friendly with her. Eventually, she realizes that she is in love with her

Astarte
Nickname Asche. She is responsible and has, as Towa describes, an "aduly face". Astarte is agile enough to fight grown men and carries a small pistol with her at all times for defense. She is beautiful, strict, cold, always in dark clothing, and is vary mysterious; practically nothing is knoen about her past. Based on her mature behavior, beauty, and knowlede of families and lineages of the nobility, she might have been born in high society. She says she is not a virin. Despite her coldness, she occasionally shows concern and care for Towa. Astarte was the one who first picked up Towa and brought her to the Cradle Last Trust.

Apparently she is searching for someone called "Thorn Witch". There are heavy hints that Astarte was somehow involved with Towa's past, but in a bad way.
