The Feisty Four are a set of minibosses encountered in the Wild East. Alongside their leader, North Star, they form the Feisty Five (Fearlessness, Excellence, Intuition, Sneakiness, Toughness, Youthfulness, and Justice. The J is silent), a gang who rules the town. The gang members, aside from North Star, are Ed, Moray, Ace and Mooch.

Profile

Appearance

Ed is a large pink ogre-like monster. He has a circular body with large, muscular arms and small, skinny legs. He wears a fancy tuxedo-esque outfit with the shirt being sleeveless. His face has large bushy eyebrows, as well as a single square tooth sticking out his mouth upwards.

Moray is a blue, humanoid monster with fish elements. They wear a beret and musketeer-like armor. Their eyes are covered by their hair, which is swept to the side.

Ace is a grey humanoid monster, donning a fancy tuxedo and a top hat. His facial features are obscured by a shadow cast from his top hat and a bandanna that covers a majority of his face, with the exception of his left eye.

Mooch is a grey squirrel monster with purple hair. She wears a large green hat with holes for her ears to pop out of, as well as a green jacket with a purple shirt. Additionally, she wears a green scarf that slightly obscures her mouth.

Personality

Ed is a tough and direct monster. He is also the most temperamental character in the posse, but he recognizes it and states that he wants to work on it. Ed is the first one to speak up for the group and tries to deliver justice by fighting Clover when Starlo leaves the Feisty Four alone with them. Furthermore, he is optimistic and apologizes for his actions, as he tells Clover he is sorry for being so forceful earlier when they arrived at the Wild East. In addition, he wants to learn how to play the guitar, but due to him being bigger than the others, he can not play it.

Moray is the only member of the four (not counting their boss) that is known to keep contact with their parents. Moray is also more caring and sympathetic towards Martlet and Clover, as they bring Martlet extra food and make it clear during their boss fight that they are just fighting Clover for fun, rather than seeking to hurt them. They represent the E and Y in Feisty, being Excellence and Youthfulness respectively. In addition, they have a passion for music, as in a Neutral Route where Starlo is spared, they are seen playing the guitar in the saloon.

Ace is the most serious member of the posse. He is seen reacting to the other three's shenanigans with a face palm at the end of the Pacifist Route. However, he still joins in on some of the adventures of the Feisty Four, as Blackjack states that it was Ace and Mooch who installed the speaker system throughout the town, using it to play an eagle screech as well as jingles and songs. Ace is the one that represents the I for intuition in "feisty". He also describes himself as a flat character who does not grow and is unbothered by this. Moreover, he notices smaller details, like how Clover’s hat was worn down before the duel.

Mooch is the only one in the group that is said to actively commit crimes, though this is seemingly limited to pickpocketing and thievery. She is sneaky and is the representative of the S in Feisty, which stands for Sneakiness. As Ace stated, she is the only one that never oversteps her boundaries. She likes shiny items, as she remarks that the gun that North Star gave to Clover is awfully shiny. Mooch sometimes makes sarcastic remarks. It is implied in the Neutral Route that Mooch is the youngest member of the posse, since Dina doesn’t let her sneak a drink.

Main Story

Neutral Route

They first appear before Clover and Martlet when they approach the town. Moray is the first to spot them and they alert the others. Ed gives a dark joke about them killing the last person that came to town before being told off by Moray. Ace then reprimands the two of them for being so threatening as Martlet and Clover prepare to leave. North Star then arrives and apologizes for how his "posse" treated them before introducing themselves as "The Feisty Five". North Star then realizes that Clover is a human and has Ed grab them, wanting to add them to the team. Because Martlet lacks anything indicating she is of the Royal Guard, the Five do not believe her status and have her locked away.

The Feisty Four get along with Clover, but are increasingly annoyed by North Star's favoritism towards them. Later on, North Star has the Feisty Four, plus other citizens of the Wild East, tied to train tracks as part of Clover's last mission, with Moray, Mooch, and Ace on one side and Edward on the other. After the "test," North Star promotes Clover to deputy, much to the indignation of the Four. When Star leaves to get Clover a new badge, the Four gang up on Clover and attack to give them a real challenge. When Star comes back and reprimands them for this, they state their complaints for the unfair attention Star has given to Clover, with Ed calling North Star by his real name: Starlo. When Starlo accuses them of being envious, the Four resign in protest, expressing disappointment and a desire for Starlo to apologize.

If Starlo is spared, he goes after the Feisty Four and tearfully apologizes. After entering the Steamworks, backtracking to the saloon will show the Feisty Five and Ceroba, reunited and listening to Moray play the guitar. If Starlo is killed, or if Pacifist is aborted in the Steamworks, the Four are nowhere to be found.

Pacifist Route

Following the fight against Starlo, as Clover and Ceroba travel the Steamworks, the five patch things up and become a team again. Starlo and his posse go to the Ketsukane Manor to prepare a "Welcome Home" party for Kanako. However, Ed discovers the hidden basement. They do not take the time to watch the tapes, prioritizing making sure Clover is safe. Starlo and Ed go after them while the other three wait in the Wild East. Starlo and Ed reach them at the exit to the Steamworks; Starlo chases after Ceroba while Ed takes Clover back to the Wild East. Moray had called Martlet after Starlo and Ed left; she gets to the Wild East not long after Clover returns. After finding the truth from the tapes, Martlet convinces the Four not to follow her and Clover when confronting Ceroba. The Four eventually agree, wishing them good luck and expressing hope they can play more later.

During the credits, the Four are seen delivering corn from Sunnyside Farm to the Wild East.

Genocide Route

The Feisty Four are completely absent from the Genocide Route, as they are evacuated by the time Clover arrives in town.

In Battle

Attacks

• Ed repeatedly slams his arm down on the bullet board, causing three medium-sized boulders to fly into the bullet box.
• Moray traps Clover's SOUL in between two swords vertically while two balls bounce around the bullet box.
• Ace draws several cards. The cards' locations will flash red three times before moving there. The SOUL must be moved to the empty space.
• Mooch spawns three coins at a corner of the bullet box, before a bag appears. Quickly follow the bag because a coin will spawn at the SOUL's location.
• Two of Ed's hands will appear in the bullet box. If either hand grabs the SOUL, it will return to the center before slamming it on the ground, damaging it.
• Moray will swing their sword, which moves up and down quickly. It will switch between being blue and orange.
• Ace will draw three cards with suits that will target the SOUL's location.
• Mooch spawns rows of coins that will appear at the top of the bullet box and descend downwards.
• Ed and Moray combine their attacks. Moray traps the SOUL between a sword and the battle box wall horizontally while Ed's hand attempts to grab the SOUL. Then, Moray traps the SOUL between another sword and Ed grabs at it again.
• Ace and Mooch combine their attacks. Ace spawns two cards with four that will target the SOUL while Mooch spawns rows of coins that descend.

Strategy

The battle will switch between Ed --> Moray --> Ace --> Mooch twice, before switching to Ed and Moray, Ace and Mooch, then finally Ed solo for a third time. Because the Feisty Four are constantly switching out, none of them are in battle long enough to kill.

Clover needs to survive the battle until Ed attempts his third solo turn, the tenth turn overall, at which point North Star will intervene before he can fight.

During Ace's first attack, holding still allows the entire attack to be dodged.

Trivia

• Ed was designed by Figburn, Moray was designed by Cleo, and Ryla contributed to Moray and Mooch's designs.
• Talking with Mooch after first arriving at the Wild East cause Clover to lose 1G, presumably because she steals it.
• When Mooch flies away from the battle scene after Ed pushes them, she loses 1 HP.
• Moray is canonically non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
• During their boss fight, when killing one of the Four in time (using, for example, save file editing), Dalv's death animation appears and repeatedly overlaps itself, the fight ends, and the following cutscene plays as normal.
  • However, if Ace is killed during the rotation Clover perpetually gains infinite EXP (and LV by extension) as Mooch attempts to enter the battle.
