Spy × Family follows Twilight, the top spy of the nation of Westalis, who is handed an odd assignment: build a fake family in a matter of days to get close to the politician Donovan Desmond. As Loid Forger, he adopts a young girl named Anya and marries Yor for convenience. He has no idea that Yor is a professional assassin or that Anya can read minds. This page covers 14 characters in four circles: the Forger family, the classmates and teachers at Eden Academy, the WISE spies and their contacts, and the people around Operation Strix and Yor's secret job. Each profile stops where the character is introduced, with no spoilers.
