Quick answer

The confirmed Atelier Karia cast includes Karia, an amnesiac alchemist who can eat almost anything; Servio Lektor and Fina Rozen; returning Yumia Liessfeldt from Atelier Yumia; inspector Noelk Schreiber; Celes; the automaton Ernest; and Rutger, Lenja, Signa and Viktor von Duerer.

Main characters

Karia

The protagonist. An adventurer and member of the Aladiss Pioneering Team. While investigating ruins she falls into the underground world of Noctrem, finds a giant cauldron and encounters alchemy for the first time. She has lost her memories, and her ability to eat almost anything changes her appearance and abilities — the game’s signature mechanic. See eating and snacking.

Yumia Liessfeldt

The protagonist of Atelier Yumia, returning two years later. Yumia is part of Karia’s group and has a save-data bonus costume. Koei Tecmo has not detailed her role in the new story beyond the cast listing.

Servio Lektor

Announced as one of Karia’s companions. No official profile beyond the name and role as a party companion at our check.

Fina Rozen

Another companion from the announcement. Fina has a Yumia save-data costume (Research Team’s Idol), which suggests she was also in Yumia’s cast or closely tied to it.

Noelk Schreiber

A detached inspector with the Eustellan Bureau of Alchemical Relic Control. His costume is part of the Colorful Collection.

Celes

Described as outwardly calm and composed, but with an unusual side to her personality. Her costume is part of the Colorful Collection.

Ernest

A self-proclaimed “super-high-spec autonomous site-management device” — an automaton who does his best to clean the underground atelier and guard it against monsters. He tells Karia about Noctrem and its legends.

Rutger, Lenja, Signa and Viktor von Duerer

Listed on the official character page. Rutger and Lenja have Colorful Collection costumes; Signa and Viktor are listed but not detailed. Viktor von Duerer previously appeared in Atelier Yumia.

Antagonists

Crave Fortis

A masked alchemist who confronts Karia’s group in the story trailer. He and Lyvel appear to be protecting the colossal enemy that produces the seeds of mana withering.

Lyvel Ventus

An alchemist who wears blades on her legs. The trailer shows her fighting alongside Crave.

The eight costume characters

The Colorful Collection gives two costume color variants to each of these eight characters:

Character	Costume colors
Karia	2
Servio	2
Fina	2
Noelk	2
Celes	2
Yumia	2
Rutger	2
Lenja	2

That is 16 costumes total. It is the best official signal of who the core party is, but Koei Tecmo has not called all eight “playable” in a single statement.

What is still unknown

Full profiles, ages, heights and combat roles for most of the cast.
Which characters are playable and which are support.
Skill trees, weapons and style access per character.
Whether more party members will be revealed before launch.
The identity of the masked man in the story trailer (Crave is the obvious candidate, but the trailer does not spell it out).

Do I need to play Atelier Yumia first?

Koei Tecmo presents Karia as a new story with a new protagonist, so you can start here. That said, it is a direct sequel set two years later, and Yumia is in the cast, so Yumia players will recognise more. See story and setting.

Ernest is a self-proclaimed 'super-high-spec autonomous site-management device' — an automaton who cleans the underground atelier and guards it against monsters. He explains Noctrem's legends to Karia.
