- Devola is a bard and is a regular performer at the tavern in Nier's village. Popola, her twin sister, is the librarian in charge of the village library. Both sisters are considered the leaders of the village and are always looking out for Nier's daughter (sister in RepliCant) Yonah during his frequent absences. Devola is the one who gives him side missions.When the player reaches the Shadowlord's Castle, it is revealed that both Devola and Popola are androids working for Project Gestalt. The twins are revealed to have lived for thousands of years as a result of the initial experiments of the project, and have thus been charged with keeping eye on other experiments as a result: namely over the members of the entire party, including Yonah. They were made to provide support when the day has come for Gestalts to return to the Replicant's vessels. They are tasked with extracting data from Gestalts' souls, making new Replicants' bodies, and returning a dead Replicant's data to its Gestalt. It is also revealed that the Sealed Verses originated from the experimentation on them both, stating that they only loaned Grimoire Weiss a fraction of their power, thus meaning that their magic and capabilities are far superior to that of Grimoire Weiss.
