Behold voice of the Smitten! Initially he had a few different names like "Flower" and "Chatty" (and "Long Winded" from Narrator) and other things in that vein, but Hero accidentally solidified his name as "Smitten". Smitten was brokenly describing how beautiful Princess is (as he often does) and Hero offered up the word "smitten" when they were trying to find an adjective. Smitten fell in love with the word and immediately took it as his proper name.
Smitten is the friendliest of the bunch and he will often step in to help other employees from monsters--though the employees usually run away without thanking him. He is the tallest of the group by far, and nearly indestructible. Because of that he is normally the one who deals with Cold when they get trigger happy. He is 100% the apex predator of the mansion, but no one really knows what he eats. Most of his free time he spends telling stories or singing or tidying things up. He uses the "flesh tentacles" (no one knows what they are) to make mock pupils in his eye sockets, he says it makes him seem more approachable!
He gets on with basically every voice, even if he thinks Cold is ridiculous, and has made a lot of effort to endear himself to Hero. It is because Princess secretly asked him to, but he probably would have done it even if she didn't.

Couple goals: Horrid beast tormented by voices, whose only choices are to witness/cause the death of their soulmate and a princess who’s doomed by the narrative to repeat the cycle upon their death.

“We are a path in the woods. We have no beginning, and we have no end, but something cold and unnatural sits watching us from just beyond our edge.”
I haven’t seen any art depicting the Wild route, I found that route particularly pretty and interesting from a story perspective

A lack of empathy does not mean a lack of sympathy.

I think about this exchange from the Burning Grey route a lot. It always felt very tender to me.
Feat. @artificial-radiance's Hero design because shit goes hard.

My personal take on The Hero's design, as well as a few of the voices
I always liked to imagine the voices were represented by little necklaces/charms that they would use as a vessel to speak through-mainly just because I like designing accessories. I might do more in the future, but for now here are my favorites!

If the Hero is the "Long Quiet", I vote that the Princess can be the "Short Loud".
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

voice bird designs + narrator
Hero, stubborn, and contrarian designs, helped by my friend @ieilaf
Hero is a bluebird
Stubborn is a cassowary
Contrarian is a crested penguin
The human versions were the initial designs of them but birds look cooler
Theres one drawing of smitten, he might come up for a future animatic (if i ever get to that)
