Youkoso! Sukebe Elf no Mori e?/Characters

Protagonist

Yuichi/"The Messiah"/Nameable

The protagonist of the story. Yuichi (nameable in the visual novel) is a normal man who works night shifts at a normal job as part of his normal life. One day on his way home after a hard night of work, Yuichi meets the elf Nol. Due to his ability to see Nol and his offer of help when he mistook her for a lost child, Nol decide to isekai Yuichi to Alfheim, the world of the elves. Now the only man among a near extinct One-Gender Race, the high elves name Yuichi the messiah of Alfheim who will father the next generation of elves and save the elven race from extinction.

• Audience Surrogate: In the anime, as he is the person the viewer is suppose to project themselves on to.
• Born Lucky: Simply by being nice to Nol, she decides to pick him to be Alfheim's "messiah", giving him a harem of gorgeous women who all want to have sex with him on a regular basis. Said harem includes the dark elves who are the high elves' mortal enemies.
• Chick Magnet: Played with. While the Yuichi is a nice guy that does end up with a harem of beautiful elven women, he is quite literally their only option to the elves that wants to experience sex with a man and/or have children.
• The Chosen One: Parodied. Nol went out searching for a "messiah" and picked Yuichi without much consideration due to a moment of kindness on his part.
• Disproportionate Reward: So why does Nol believe Yuichi is the perfect candidate to be Alfheim's "messiah" who deserves a harem of beautiful elven women and father the next generation of elves? Because he asked if she needed help after mistaking for a lost child. Throughout the story, Yuichi does get frequently rewarded for just acting like a decent human being. There's also one other part about him being able to see through her illusion that she used to walk around the human world without being noticed.
• Dogged Nice Guy: To his elf harem. Not that he needs to do much to win them over. They are lustful, in desperate need to repopulate their species, and he is quite literally their only options.
• The Eveyman: The generic nice guy variation.
• Featureless Protagonist: In the visual novel, seeing as Yuichi is the person whom the audience is clearly meant to project themselves onto him. You even have the option to name the character as yourself.
• The Generic Guy: Invoked. Yuichi is portrayed as just a nice average guy. The only thing that is actually significant about him is his higher than average sex drive. Other than that, he is just an everyman that the audience is meant to project themselves onto.
• Living MacGuffin: Seeing as he is the only fertile man in a world where the main population is One-Gender Race that is in desperate need to repopulate, naturally all the elves want him.
• I Choose to Stay: In the anime OVA and the visual novel's harem ending, Yuichi chooses to remain in Alfheim to father the next generation of elves with his elf harem.
• Interspecies Romance: The human Yuichi with his harem of elven women.
• Marry Them All: Yuichi ends up together with all seven of the elven women in the anime OVA and in the visual novel's harem ending.
• Mayfly-December Romance: He looks like he is in his twenties (maybe), while the elven women he can end up with are thousands of years older than him.
• Nice Guy: He is a kind person, and aside from enjoying sex with the elves he does wish for their happiness.
• Non Standard Character Design: He is drawn with no eyes.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The unarmed Yuichi was somehow able to save the dark elf Evelyn from of pack of club-wielding goblins.
• Parental Incest: Has sex with his elven daughters once they are old enough.
• Spell My Name with an "S": Depending on the translator, his name can be spelled as "Yuichi" or "Yuuichi".
• Summon Everyman Hero: When looking for a "messiah" in the human world, Nol just grabbed to first human male that is able to see her and who showed her the slightest bit of kindness. Honestly, likely any fertile male human could have served Nol's purposes, Yuichi just happened to be to first person to catch her eye.
• The One Guy: Due to being the only man in a world with two all female races.
• Vague Age: His exact age is never stated but he appears to be in his twenties.

High Elves

In General

A race of elves that live in a small village near the Holy Tree. All elves originally came from the Holy Tree. But when the magic of Holy Tree began to wane, the tree lost its ability to create new elves. After a long war with the dark elves, the high elves are now of the verge of extinction. It is their hope that "The Messiah of Alfheim" will save them from extinction and help them create a generation of elves through "less magical means".

• All Women Are Lustful: Justified. Elves were originally asexual, but their newly developed lust and desire to sexually reproduce are survival mechanisms that came to be when the Holy Tree lost its ability to produce new elves and the elven race is on the verge of going extinct.
• Asexuality: Elves were originally this since the magical Holy Tree would provide them with new children when needed. As a result, all of the elves starts out the story as virgins. But shortly before the start of story, the Holy Tree lost the ability to produce new elves and their species is now on the brink of extinction. As a survival mechanism, the remaining elves find themselves with the sudden strong urge to mate with a human male and reproduce in order to ensure the continued survival of elf kind.
• Fighter, Mage, Thief: Firis is the "Fighter" being a swordswoman, Nol is the "mage" since she is the strongest magic user among the elves, Lucie is the "Thief" as she fights with a bow and arrow.
• Inhumanly Beautiful Race: Per tradition for elves in modern fantasies and, of course, Hentai.
• Light Is Good: They all have bright colored hair, dress in bright colors, want to live peacefully and are convinced to make peace with their sworn enemies. At worst some of them might be a mild jerk with a soft side.
• Ms. Fanservice: Including the minor nameless elves.
• One-Gender Race: Elves in this story are exclusively female. Originally, all elves were created through the power of the Holy Tree, the source of all magic in Alfheim, so there was no need for sexual reproduction. Once the tree starting running low on magic, elves are able to mate with human males in order to create new off springs. Since the protagonist is only human male in Alfheim, naturally all the elves in this story began to seek him out.
• Our Elves Are Better: On top of being members of an Inhumanly Beautiful Race, they can live over hundred thousand and retain their youthful appearance. In this setting they are a One-Gender Race that needs humans to reproduce. Before that they relied on the magic of the Holy Tree to produce more elves, until it lost that ability.
• Pointy Ears: Well duh, they are elves.
• Really 700 Years Old: Despite their youthful appearance, all of the elves over a thousand years years old. The oldest among the elves is Nol who is 184014 years old.
• Stripperiffic: Just look at the Fanservice Extras in the above image. And they aren't even the skimpiest outfits worn by the elves.

Nol's petite and curvaceous appearances.

The 184014 year-old village elder and mischievous leader of the high elves. She was person who brought Yuichi to Alfhiem with the help of the ancient documents of the great elders.

That said, she is pretty diligent when it comes to her duties as the village elder, despite her playful approach to them.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She proves to be a fairly understanding leader to the people of her village and is usually willing to compromise.

• The Trickster: Despite being the village elder and leader of the high elves, Nol is a very mischievous person that loves to mess around with Yuichi.

Lucie Menelumia

A 1804 year-old elf who acts as Nol's right hand woman.

A 1201 year-old high elf in a aristocratic position among the other elves, she is very prideful and looks down on the other elves. She has an interest in humans and the concept of making children. Naturally, she is able to explore her interest with Yuichi, the first human she ever met.

• Adaptational Wimp: She never got the chance to show off her sword skills in the anime, unlike in the visual novel.
• Alpha Bitch: Well at least the elven fantasy setting equivalent of one. Although whenever Yuichi is around she acts more like a Lovable Alpha Bitch.

Dark Elves

In General

A race of elves that live in the nation of Underdark. Like High Elves, Dark Elves were born from the Holy Tree. Dark elves are more war-like than the high elves and they have spent years trying to monopolize the magic of the Holy Tree. The high elves would frequently clash with the dark elves, resulting in both races of elves now on the verge of extinction. In order to have their save race, they intend to take "The Messiah of Alfheim" from the high elves and have him father a new generation of dark elves.

• Affably Evil: Granted, they did want to monopolize the magic of the Holy Tree and spent a good portion of the story trying to kidnap Yuichi and force him to be their Sex Slave. But it is shown that as they do care about one another, will uphold their word, and can be reasoned with. Plus, its not like Yuichi was against the idea of having sex them. It makes it a little more believable when they eventually do undergo their Heel-Face Turn.
• All Women Are Lustful: Just like the high elves. Probably more so, seeing as the high elves would at least try to get consent from Yuichi before engaging in sex with him. These elves have made it very clear that they are going to make him have sex with them, whether he wants to or not (he does actually want to so long as they are not threatening the high elf village).
• Ambiguously Brown: Most of the dark elves, with the exception of Misery, have much darker skin complexions than the high elves.
• Asexuality: Just like the high elves, they were originally this until the Holy Tree lost its ability to create more elves. Now they are just as lustful as the high elves, if not more so.
• The Bad Guy Wins: They make a Heel Face Turn, but regardless, their goal was to reproduce with Yuichi. They don't monopolize him like they planned but they still get what they want.
• Dark Is Not Evil: They are at war with the high elves but show they aren't too bad once Yuichi gets to know them and they are convinced to make peace with the high elves.
• Double Standard: Rape (Female on Male): Played straight. The dark elves make it very clear that intend to kidnap Yuichi, rape him, and force him to be their Sex Slave. They do force Yuichi to have sex them despite his initial refusal. However, Yuichi never holds it against them after their first "defeat", and does eventually let them join his harem. It does help that Yuichi was never really against the idea of having sex with them in the first place, he just doesn't want them hurting the high elves.
• Easily Forgiven: Even if you disregard the thousand of years of war the dark elves had with high elves prior to the story that led both races on the verge of extinction, they still act pretty villainous for a good chunk of the main story. They threaten to wipe out the high elf village unless Yuichi confronts them alone. Have made it clear that if Yuichi refused to go with them willingly, they would rape him and bring him back to their nation to be their Sex Slave. Despite all that, Yuichi and the high elves were pretty quick to forgive them once they signed a peace treaty, and they are allowed to live among the high elves without animosity from either party.
• Heel-Face Turn: The dark elves eventually undergo this after developing a genuine fondness for Yuichi and signing a treaty with high elves after Delva losses a "sexual contest" to Nol.
• Inhumanly Beautiful Race: Just like their high elf counterparts.
• Lust Makes you Dumb: Their main goal for a good chunk of the story was capture Yuichi. But when they are able to lure him out, none of them thinks to just restrain him and take him back to Underdark. Instead they decide to have sex him then and there. Thanks to the potions and an aphrodisiac given to him by Lucie, Delva and Elda ended up being too exhausted to capture him. Misery was immune to Lucie's aphrodisiac, but finds having sex with Yuichi causes her to lose her mana and Misery couldn't stop herself from finishing. Later Elda gets captured trying to sneak into the high village to get to Yuichi. Delva then decides to settle things once and for all with Nol through a "sexual contest" where Yuichi would be the judge. This isn't smart considering that Yuichi has an obvious bias for the high elves. The "contest" just seems like an excuse for Delva to have sex with Yuichi again. Predictably, he names Nol the winner and the dark elves were forced to sign a treaty for losing.
• Ms. Fanservice: Arguably, more so than the high elves.
• One-Gender Race: Just like the high elves. The only way they can sexually reproduce is with a human male.
• Our Elves Are Better: They still have all the advantages of being an Inhumanly Beautiful Race that can live thousands of years like the high elves. Although as dark elves they are much more aggressive and warlike than the high elves.
• Pointy Ears: Again, duh.
• Really 700 Years Old: Like the high elves, they are thousands of years older than what they appear.
• Stripperific: They actually wear more revealing outfits than the high elves.
• Terrible Trio: The dark elves Delva Celebrían, Misery Stentrem, and Elda Ballad, although they do get better after their Heel-Face Turn.
• Villainous Crush: Naturally, towards Yuichi. Averted with Evelyn who never actually antagonized Yuichi.

• Graceful Loser: Near the end of the visual novel and in Episode 3 of the anime, Delva decides to settle things once and for all with Nol after Elda was captured by the High Elves through a "sexual contest" using Yuichi. Ultimately, Delva loses the contest. Afterward, she agrees to withdraw her forces, stop trying to take Yuichi by force, and signs a peace treaty with the high elves without issue. Granted, it turns out one of terms of treaty is that she, Misery, and Elda gets to move in with Yuichi, and the dark elves get to have him during the nights, so its not like it was a complete lose for her.
• Hot Teacher: Yuichi had her cosplay as a school teacher in Episode 4.
• Know When To Fold'Em: She is smart enough to avoid challenging Nol to an actual fight.
