In addition to regular players, Habitica is populated by several characters, mostly based on real people who have contributed to Habitica's development. These characters accompany various features in the game, and many of them dress up to celebrate World Events.
The Habitica NPCs
The NPCs (Non-Playing Characters) of Habitica were the top-tier backers of the Kickstarter.
Bailey the Town Crier
Bailey keeps the residents of Habitica up to date with all the important news: bug fixes, events, Mystery Items and all cool new features as soon as they're implemented. She doesn't have her own page, but can be called up using the "Show Bailey" option under Settings.
Justin the Guide
Justin announces locked features as they become available, and any special contributor gear as it is awarded.
Alexander the Merchant
Alexander is the Merchant in Habitica. He can be found in the Inventory area where he sells items for gems. He has a giant sword mounted on the wall of his shop.
Matt Boch the Beast Master
Matt Boch is the caretaker of all the pets you collect on your journey. He can somehow be in both the pet stable and the mount stable at once. Maybe he knows magic.
Daniel the Tavern Keeper
Daniel is keeper and protector of the Tavern, reserving rooms for the sick or weary. He proudly displays his favorite golf club on the wall behind the bar.
Ian the Quest Leader
Ian manages the quest system, and appears when you read a quest scroll. He remains in the background while you go off questing, and is always ready to help with useful information and reminders.
Other Characters

Masterclassers
Masterclassers were introduced in a Behind the Scenes spotlight on the April Fool. There are four Masterclasses in total: the April Fool is the Master of Rogues, the Joyful Reaper is the Master of Healers, Lady Glaciate is the Master of Warriors, and King Manta is the Master of Mages.
April Fool

The April Fool also appears in the Mayhem in Mistiflying quest line.
Joyful Reaper
The Joyful Reaper, Master of Healers, is a skeleton who is the oldest and hardest-working of the Masterclassers. She is known for her sweet heart, her sweet tooth, and throwing fabulous feasts. She is the ruler of the Flourishing Fields, the most productive area of Habitica, and appears in the Terror in the Taskwoods quest line and the Burnout and the Exhaust Spirits world quest.
During the 2017 Fall Festival, a Behind the Scenes spotlight about the Joyful Reaper's backstory and personal life was posted on the Habitica Blog.
