The MC is an abbreviation of "Main Character", a common title given to the female protagonist of Otome games. The MC of a Voltage game is always a young woman with long reddish-brown hair (although in some games she has short hair). Her eyes are rarely shown in CGs, even in images that would be expected to show them, but in later games, the eyes are drawn with it.
Because the MC is a placeholder for the player, she is typically given a very little backstory, and her personality is never explored as thoroughly as the other characters in the game.
Name[]
The MC's name is changeable in each game. While most games have space for a first and last name, Pirates in Love only allows space for a first name

Because of her status as a placeholder, the MC's back story has very little detail.

Personality[]
Her personality is different in each game. But in nearly all games the MC's personality has similar traits. For example, they're all pretty, kind, and a bit naively innocent. In every game, the MC is portrayed as either a virgin or just really inexperienced, making her flustered very easily. With her personality, depending on the guy, it comes down to three main personalities; desperately wants to understand him and loves him near the beginning; completely loathes him and wants nothing to do with him, is very naive, and depends on him for a lot of support.
Pirates in Love: She is a very resourceful girl like using kitchen tools from Nathan to defend herself. She is also very clumsy, cheerful, and loving to those around her. She is also very hesitant about some things.
My Forged Wedding: She is attentive to people's needs without them saying anything, comes across as a little gullible, and at times a little simple-minded. She is optimistic, honest, kind, and a klutz. She is easy to read in terms of her emotions. All of the guys are attracted to her sweet and energetic personality.
Seduced in the Sleepless City: She lives her normal life like any other woman on her age, is optimistic, a bit sarcastic, passionate about her work as an editor of a fashion magazine, and proud of it. Although she was nervous and a bit reserved at first to be around the Casino guys, she eventually acts normally and feels comfortable around them. She also has the same tastes as Takuto from Love Letter From Thief X and she sees the MC from the same game in the Celebs VS Thieves Special Story.
In Your Arms Tonight: She is strong-willed and dedicated. She tries to be optimistic and doesn't want to give up on her husband or her job without first seeing them through to their ends. MC tries her hardest to meet the expectations of everyone and takes very little time to consider her own happiness.
Be My Princess:In this game, she is portrayed as a really charming and attractive woman although she's not aware of that herself which makes her humble and a well-rounded character. She's opinionated but knows when and what to say. She's also very honest and not materialistic. She's also has a very curious personality in her as she always finds herself being caught in the middle of something because of her curiosity. As opinionated as she is, she has the tendency to be clumsy at her words and actions that would lead to misunderstandings. She's the kind of woman that will take care of others first before herself - as seen in every route if there are paparazzi around, she would first think of how it will affect the prince rather than her. She's also very hardworking as a student (Non-Gree Version) - she would always think of her school every time she gets whisked away to live in another country - and as a designer (Gree Version). And she's also very attached to her family as she would think if they're going to be affected whenever she gets herself involved with a prince.
Love Letter from Thief X: She loves art and has a lot of sass, but is kind. At first, she thought the Black Foxes were criminals because they stole art, despite already being stolen by other criminals, but she eventually accepted their beliefs and wants to help them recover artwork (especially her great-grandfather's). Her favorite food is pork noodles and apparently has similar tastes to Takuto.
My Sweet Bodyguard: Coming Soon...
A Knight's Devotion: Coming Soon...
Office Secrets: She tends to be uncertain of herself most of the time in most routes and other routes she can be a bit confident. She is stern when necessary and is shown to be sad or depressed when her lover is being nice to others when something is wrong. She also takes her work seriously telling her boyfriend to keep their affair a secret to avoid trouble.
10 Days With My Devil: She is described as "pure, innocent, stupidly trusting, and way too stupidly honest" in Satoru's sequel, and "bright" in Rein's route. She also seems to be a pacifist as seen in Satoru's route when she goes against Satoru's violent tendencies towards the people who upset him. Her pacifistic nature is also seen in Kakeru's sequel: when Kakeru gives her a switchblade for self-defense, she calls it "scary" to keep a weapon with her and hopes she would never have to use it. She cares deeply for her family and friends, and always thinks about others before herself, always giving without expecting to receive anything in return, and unwilling to use others to her advantage. She is also unselfish to the point of willing to sacrifice anything, even her own life, for the sake of others even if they object to it. This trait is considered idiotic by Kakeru, moronic by Satoru, weird by Shiki, selfish by Haruhito, and somewhat annoying by Rein. (Meguru is more accepting of this trait than the others). While she may seem feeble, helpless, or even saintly, she is also strong-willed and stubborn, always wanting to support others to the very end without any regard for her own desires or safety, feeling happy even if she helped in the tiniest way.
Kiss Of Revenge: Prior to her mother's death, she seemed to be a very happy person. But all of that changed 12 years ago when her mother was killed by an unreported medical error. Ever since then, she had lived for revenge, feeling nothing but resentment against the hospital director for covering up the error instead of taking responsibility for it. Her thirst for vengeance had transformed her into a calculating, scheming woman, becoming a doctor at the hospital responsible for her mother's death just so she can murder the director. She attempts to use her love interest to get close to the director so she can kill him, but things get complicated when she falls for him. Only after does she enter an official relationship with him that she reverts back to her true self; a kind, a happy person willing to help others.
Dreamy Days In West Tokyo: She's pretty dependent on her friends but very dependable too. She cares a lot for her friends and even keeps several things to herself unless pressure to spill by her friends. She is hated by some girls who are jealous of her as she is close friends with many popular boys. She is relatively pretty since she does get hit on. She is always with her close friends sometimes and they get jealous when she talks to the other boys.
Class Trip Crush: She's rather dense, able to cook pretty well, bad at math (in a certain route anyway) kind, caring, and sheltered. She is relatively pretty since she does get hit on.
Our Two Bedroom Story: She's very strong-minded yet very naive and humble; not very sharp and tends to be gullible. She is a very good-nature person that usually puts someone else's needs in front of her own and described as pure and innocent.
Kissed by the Baddest Bidder: From achieving her dream of working in a hotel, she is cheerful and very hard working despite having snobby co-workers. She is often uncertain of herself as she is a simple commoner amongst a group of high-class men. Despite her uncertainty; she is very considerate and kind-hearted, often being able to converse well with strangers and the like.
Serendipity Next Door: She is a lover of food. She cooks very often and is seen thoroughly enjoying her job in food imports.
Metro PD: Close to You: She is strong-willed and dedicated, going to extreme lengths to solve a case. She's a capable detective but many do not see her so because of her appearance, and she sometimes feels insecure about that. She is very sassy, quick thinking, funny, and tends to hide her embarrassment with jokes. The 2nd Unit often treats her as "one of the guys" and teases her, which irritates her sometimes. She's also a black belt in Judo which she uses to scare people and loves food.
Be My Princess 2: She is an intelligent, career-driven young woman who is also kind and has a bit of sass. She is very determined, energetic, and has good health. She sets her goals into becoming a pastry chef as a high priority and would even refuse a prince's marriage interview if she had something to do that is related to it. Though intelligent, she can be a bit dense when it comes to love and tends to put logic in front of her own feelings. However, she is not afraid to stand up for herself when needed.
Enchanted in the Moonlight: She loves books (anything from fashion magazines to Japanese poems) and is reluctant to get rid of any of them. She doesn't get really embarrassed if she wears revealing clothing, though she rarely buys them. She's very appreciative of Samon for taking care of the shrine (which would've been her job) and likes to help out whenever she can. She likes to play card games and taking care of flowers. Her most sensitive area is her ears. She is described as being pretty, naive, quite gullible, and innocent. She is kind and helpful but rather dense, and also tends over thinks things a lot.
First Love Diaries - A Kiss on the Beach: She's a kind girl who will stand up for herself and her friends when needed (even going so far to slap the ex of one of her boyfriend when the latter tried to play around with him) though she is clearly inexperienced in the topic love. During several situations in the game, she relies on her three best female friends. She also is not someone who would let her head hung during a fight with her boy and instead decides (sometimes through her friends' help) to try and make up. She is relatively pretty as she gets hit on.
Finally, in Love Again: She's very sensitive about her age. She gets teased a lot and seems innocent. However, she is very passionate and hardworking as she is absolutely dedicated to her job. She is good at her job and is creative and original. She also loves to drink, particularly beer, and can cook other foods other than cakes and pastries. As the oldest sister, she would often take care of her young siblings and would be kind and caring to others, even to someone who treated her harshly such as Sakurako.
True Love Sweet Lies: She is a bright, peppy young female who isn't afraid of showing people a piece of her mind. She is passionate about her work and interested in electronics (cameras and lenses, etc.). Though at times, she feels insecure about being feminine enough and as a result tries to change her image in small ways. She is able to hold her liquor well and isn't reluctant about going to the bar to drink her problems away. She is also somewhat immune to sleeping pills. Yuriko is not fond of her and as a result, often 'attacks' her by ramming her horns into her behind.
Her Love in the Force: She has a strong sense of justice and can be quite obstinate. Her ideas can cause her to get involved in quite a lot of troubles but tries hard (and is unsuccessful at it as her love interests come to her aid) to handle everything by herself. She is firmly rooted in her beliefs and makes decisions based on what she believes is right. However, she tends to tear up easily, cannot cook very well, and is not afraid to voice her own opinions, sometimes being too blunt about them.
Star-Crossed Myth: Her main interest is astrology (she loves stars and often checks up on her horoscope). She's reluctant to believe that the men are gods, but she's willing to help them atone for their sin since she's the only one who can help them. She's sassy and not afraid to speak her mind, especially in her beliefs but she will admit when she's wrong.
Scandal In The Spotlight: She aspires to be a screenwriter and hopes that creating the lyrics for REVANCE's new song will be her "big break" into the entertainment industry. She has a large and open sense of imagination, usually daydreaming in meetings and such. Her fantasizing can sometimes even come off as a reality.
My Wedding and 7 Rings: She loves food and is a dedicated worker at her job. She wants to marry for love, whether he's wealthy or not, and is not thrilled that she has to marry one of the special executives for they only want her because she's their ticket to be the next CEO.

She is considerate for both teachers and students alike and willing to do anything in order to satisfy the needs of others.

Era of Samurai: Code of Love: Like most people, she was very afraid of the Shinsengumi given their ill reputation and was wary of the idea of staying at the compound with a bunch of men, but she sees that the Shinsengumi aren't bad people and only want to bring peace and she dedicates herself to their cause. She's quite knowledgeable about medicine and has a strong sense of smell to detect it. Though she has little medical experience outside herbal remedies and first aid, she's a dedicated doctor and firmly believes that all lives are equal. She's naive, especially around romance, and has little interaction men with except for her father and the male patients. She's initially quick to fear but will stand up for herself.
Liar! Uncover the Truth: She's spirited, independent, and very sassy. Because of her age and the pressure from her mother, she wants to get married to a man with a good career and is faithful to her, and good-looking as a bonus. Because of her previous dating experience, she has very high expectations for what she wants in her husband and often tends to attract scumbags much to her displeasure. Despite that, she's willing to put the effort of finding her Mr. Right instead of waiting for him to find her. She's intelligent and has a keen eye for detail, which helps her when she's investigating the men she's dating. She's also temperamental and a bit quick to judge for she has slapped some of the liars when they give her an ill-reason why he's dating her and once she exposes their lie, she wants nothing to do with them.
She's a hard worker and very reliable in her career as a wedding planner, but her domestic skills are lacking and her apartment is a mess, hence why she doesn't invite people over. She loves her lifestyle in the city and hates the idea of moving back to the countryside. She describes herself as a glutton sometimes, likes to pamper herself with a beauty regiment or treat herself with a little shopping spree every now and then, and loves the cartoon character OctoKitty.

Trivia[]
- In True Love Sweet Lies, the MC in Sakuya's route can only converse in her native language - Japanese. When she goes to a middle eastern country with Sakuya, it is evident that she can't speak a word of English. However, in Nozomu's main story - it is implied that the MC knows a decent amount of English, during one episode of his route. This means that the MC could potentially be bilingual. However, these two instances combined is inconsistent. Therefore, whether or not she is truly bilingual is rather questionable.
- In My Devilish Bodyguard substory, it is confirmed that the MC from 10 Days With My Devil and MC from My Sweet Bodyguard has an identical face.
- The main reason why the MC don't have eyes in the early games is for the players to be able to feel like they are the MC not just reading a story.
- However, there are quite a few games where the MC is given eyes: Scandal in the Spotlight, My Last First Kiss, True Love, Sweet Lies, Irresistible Mistakes (though those were only in the English version), Liar! Uncover the Truth, Kissed by the Baddest Bidder - Love Trap, and Masquerade Kiss. Also, the MC from Star-Crossed Myth is given eyes in CGs only in the sub-stories 'If You Were a Goddess'.
- In After School Affairs, the MC is an English teacher from the all-boys high school and currently one at the new high school. She's shown to be very fluent in English, as seen in Kiyonori's route, for she can speak English in English-speaking countries like Australia or the United States.
- In Romance MD: Always On Call, she is said to be approximately 5' 3" in height.
