She wears a red scarf around her neck and above her white collared, long-sleeve shirt. She wears a blue skirt with a white stripe around the hem and a brown belt with a silver belt buckle.

## Personality

As Ecout's younger sister, she is often sheltered by him, who initially refuses to reveal the truth of Noah Tolstoy's death or teach her how to wield a sword. Despite any hardships, she still tries to keep up with Ecout, working hard at her job at the Fortune-Teller and even learning how to wield a sword. She also has a sharp tongue, often teasing Ecout or even sternly telling him off along with anyone else. She has a casual attitude, being able to make friends with Joanne, a dangerous rebel, but this attitude ends up clashing when more serious topics arise, such as Joanne and Otis's violent natures.

With Otis's ability to see into the minds of people whose wish he grants, he describes Carol as "filled with nothin'... but malice."

## Plot

### Home

In Chapter 1, at the end of Ecout and Noah's patrol, Ecout enters the Fortune-Teller to pick up Carol and return home. The two chat for a bit and they both go to sleep.

The next morning, Noah arrives at the Kanovos residence and Ecout and Noah accompany Carol to the Fortune-Teller. Sometime during her shift, the MOTH arrive and bring her in for questioning.

At the end of Ecout and Noah's patrol, Ecout enters the Fortune-Teller only to learn that Carol was taken in by the MOTH for questioning. After learning that Carol is still being kept by the MOTH, Ecout goes to the nearest MOTH station to inquire about her whereabouts. He ends up traveling to the MOTH headquarter's prisons to free her and ends up freeing Otis at Carol's request. The three return to the Kanovos residence.

### Scout

In Chapter 2, Carol talks with Noah about her experience being imprisoned. Noah reassures her that it was a mistake. At his advice, she decides to stay home from work with Otis.

The next morning, Carol lends Otis her ribbon to hide his sheep horns and also lends her father's jacket.

After the death of Noah, Ecout unconsciously makes one more wish to be teleported to the front of the Fortune-Teller to check up on Carol's safety. Otis grants this wish and Ecout talks with Carol briefly before being interrupted by MOTH soldiers. The MOTH soldiers request Ecout and Otis to accompany the squadron to the base of the rebels. When Carol sees that Louise Alkaev, her captor from Chapter 1, is in the squadron, Carol demands Ecout to take her with him. The squadron arrive outside the base of the rebels and Joanne, one of the rebels, takes one of the MOTH soldiers hostage and demand the rest to give up their weapons. The leader of the rebels reveals herself in front of the now tied-up squadron and sees Otis, who explains that she is his sister Melanie Callisto. Otis vouches for the good intentions of Ecout and Carol and the three end up staying the night at the base of the Warriors Against State Persecution.

### Displacement

In Chapter 3, Carol borrows Joanne's clothes. Carol decides to take the day easy and stay at the headquarters while Ecout goes on a hunting trip with Otis and Melanie, but Carol makes breakfast for Ecout before he leaves.

After the three return from the hunting trip, all of the WASP members decide to celebrate with dinner and Carol offers to help cook the food.

### Retaliation

In Chapter 4, Carol and Joanne train with wooden swords on the rooftop of the WASP headquarters while Ecout and Otis watch.

Later that evening, Carol enters the basement to alert the Melanie, Erika Callisto, Ecout, and Otis about incoming MOTH soldiers but stops due to the shock of witnessing Otis eating a corpse. Letat Saiskaya, king of Enonoia, arrives, having found the location of the WASP headquarters with the help of Louise. MOTH soldiers enter the basement and Letat orders them to seize Ecout and Carol. After the MOTH soldiers are teleported away with Erika, Otis decides to grant Carol a wish, who wishes she was never associated with the MOTH. Joanne enters the basement and tells the four about how the location around the building changed. They all look outside and realize that the WASP headquarters being relocated to another part of outer Enonoia was the effect of Carol's wish.

### Cycle

In Chapter 5, Ecout, Otis, and Carol loiter around the outside of the WASP headquarters, noticing the passing MOTH soldiers that are ignoring Otis under Letat's order. After two MOTH soldiers pass by, Ecout tells the truth about Noah's death to Carol. Melanie arrives and brings them all to Otis's next meal of another MOTH soldier's corpse. Carol decides to witness this herself to face the truth that Ecout was hiding from her but she leaves immediately when Otis begins to eat. Ecout leaves the room Otis and Melanie are in to talk with Carol in the hall. Their conversation is interrupted by Otis finishing his meal and Ecout teleports away with him, leaving Carol and Melanie behind.

After Ecout and Otis return to the MOTH headquarters at night, they see Carol and Joanne waiting for them. Melanie appears and asks about their day before mentioning to Otis her plan to meet Erika for tomorrow. Otis expresses his desire to be with Ecout more than Melanie, and Melanie laughs it off.

The next day, Melanie takes the elk Ecout and Otis brought back to pursue Erika herself. Ecout is shocked by this and brings Otis and Carol to pursue Melanie. Joanne lends her belt and cloak to Carol and sends them off.

### Replica

In Chapter 6, Ecout, Otis, and Carol lose sight of Melanie and only have Otis's hearing to go off of. The three briefly see Erika being pursued by the entirety of the MOTH filling the streets. The three hide away in an abandoned building where Louise has followed them there to confront them. Carol catches Louise off guard and holds her sword up to Louise's neck. Carol switches places with Ecout, intending for him to kill Louise and provide Otis with fuel.

In the normal "Spare Enonoia" option, Ecout kills Louise, allowing for Otis to have fuel and grant Ecout's wish of turning Erika back to normal.

The next morning, Ecout wakes up to see Otis and Carol gone. After wandering the WASP headquarters for some time, he stumbles upon Otis eating Carol's corpse. Otis defends his action by claiming Carol's mind to be filled with malice.

In the hidden "Abandon Enonoia" option, Ecout will spare Louise and Otis will kill Carol instead to obtain fuel. The rest of the story will play out like the normal "Spare Enonoia" option choice when Ecout discovers Otis eating Carol but with slight changes.

### Ovine Archetype

In Ovine Archetype, neither Louise nor Carol are killed. Without any fuel, they are unable to stop Letat from seizing control of Ursine Science and he begins extending his control on the city of Enonoia. In the confusion, Carol is separated from Ecout and Otis.

The next day, it is revealed that Otis and Carol are trapped at the Enonoia palace. Ecout and Melanie go to the palace to rescue Otis, and after getting all the way inside the palace to the room outside the one Otis is in, Ecout and Melanie fight. After Melanie loses, she decides to save Carol and let Ecout and Otis escape first.

The epilogue of Ovine Archetype takes place several days after the battle at the Enonoia palace. Ecout, Otis, Carol, and Louise spend their evening together at the Peacemaker. They order drinks and chat for a bit, listening to how people consider the events of the past few days to be one big nightmare.
