Familiars are summonable beings that assist Miriam in her battles. A familiar can be summoned once Miriam has acquired and equipped its respective Familiar Shard.

Development[]
During development, players were given the right to participate in a voting session where, from the first four familiars designed, only one would make it into the game. From the two familiars ranked in first and second place, IGA picked up the one that was ultimately included in the game.
During the designing process, rather than coming up with a supportive style and then designing the familiar around it, they were first drawn up using only one key word as their base reference.

Trivia[]
- Koji Igarashi drew up the initial sketches for the Reaper Familiar and Yuji Natsume drew up the final polished variation of it.
- IGA had expected the Fairy to win due to the Japanese fanbase having more of an affinity for cute things and figured the Armor had won due to Western voters.
