Fiona Belli

is the eighteen-year old player character of Haunting Ground. She had only recently moved away from her parents to attend college and was visiting with them when the car accident occurred. Her mother Ayla was killed instantly in the wreck, and while her father Ugo survived the initial crash, he was almost immediately murdered by a man with a knife before he could even get out of the driver's seat. Although Fiona is not very athletic, she makes this up with her quick mind. She rarely shows emotions and appears more mature than her actual age suggests

a four year old White German Shepherd, soon joins Fiona on her quest. Hewie becomes attached to Fiona after she saves him from cruel captivity in the early stages of the game. He seems healthy and was apparently well cared for at one time. Hewie is fiercely loyal and will not hesitate to attack Fiona's pursuers when trained correctly. He is her only hope of escaping the castle alive

is the castle's gardener and handyman. Upon encountering Fiona walking in Castle Belli, he is compelled to chase after her. Despite his hulking size and massive strength, he has the mental capacity of a young child. He can only seem to understand simple language and is only heard speaking short, garbled phrases ("My dolly", "Where is you!" and the rarely heard "My little pink meat pie!"). He plays with dolls, and believes that Fiona is also a big doll. His origins are unclear, but he may be one of Lorenzo's failed "creations"; when Fiona enters the medical room whilst being chased by Riccardo or Daniella, an image of a large and muscular person is shown (possibly a diagram of Debilitas). Debilitas is easily outwitted by Fiona, but he is persistent and powerful. He harasses Fiona and Hewie for quite a while until all three of them enter the Chapel, after which Fiona is forced to fight him. The battle has two outcomes; Fiona can either drop a large chandelier on top of him, or can wear his health down thus killing him. Debilitas is last seen in Ending A, staring at Fiona before she leaves the castle, he bows to her, no longer meaning any harm

cooks and does the household work around the castle. She appears to be around her late twenties and is stunningly beautiful, but her movements are machine-like and her behavior is unnerving. She is eventually revealed to be a homunculus, a man-made human. Initially, Daniella seems unemotional, but to Fiona's despair, she notices that she's prone to erratic mood swings and maniacal laughter. Daniella appears to be schizophrenic, alternating between intentions of murder to ignoring Fiona altogether in order to clean parts of the mansion. Despite her beauty, she hates looking at herself in the mirror, and will start shrieking at the sight of her reflection. Daniella chases after Fiona out of jealousy that Fiona can bear children and possess the Azoth, which Daniella believes will make herself human, and "complete". Out of all the stalkers, she is the physically weakest and easiest to outrun (disregarding the limited amount of evasion points), but is also the cruelest; she attacks Fiona with either a hot fire poker or a broken piece of glass, and if she can't find Fiona, she has a tendency to attack Hewie. Her end comes when Fiona and Hewie enter a domed area, and face her in a boss fight. A mirror is revealed beneath her and, at the sight of her reflection, she screams at such a high pitch that the glass above her shatters, bringing a huge shard down upon her, piercing her through her abdominal area. With the last of her energy, she smiles, suggesting either that she wanted to die and had gotten her wish, or that she experienced pain for the first time, and felt that it was close enough to emotion to make her happy before she died

is the castle's grounds-keeper. He claims to be a great alchemist and believes that nothing can kill him. A monk-like figure, it initially appears that he is the person in charge of the castle when in actuality he is just another servant. Riccardo is searching for Fiona's Azoth because he needs it to be reborn. Lorenzo created two clones: Ugo Belli and Riccardo Belli, but only Ugo was given the Azoth. Riccardo failed in getting the Azoth from Ugo, but realized that Ugo's daughter Fiona had the Azoth from her father's traits. Unlike the other stalkers, he seems to have no intentions of killing Fiona, instead merely punching, slapping and kicking her. However, if Fiona gets too close to him during a chase he may get carried away and shoot her to death with his gun. He is clever and persistent and will frighten her by firing his gun in the air. The real danger in dealing with Riccardo is that he can shoot and seriously injure Hewie, leaving Fiona to fend for herself. Riccardo can finally get his Azoth if Fiona mistreats Hewie, and Hewie does not come to save her. In Ending D, he impregnates Fiona, and is last seen feeling his baby as she sleeps.
