Oliver always referred as Olly serves as an NPC and ally in Candies 'n Curses
Oliver
“
Olly is another student who's trapped in the mansion. Though unlike Molli, he's been stuck fending ghosts off for three years prior to Molli's arrival. He's definitely a scaredy cat, but he has a good heart - and he'll do whatever it takes to survive and keep his soul intact. Apparently there's a story behind how he ended up in the mansion, but you'll have to ask him directly!.
Olly has orange-red hair, pale skin, and black glasses. His glasses obscure his eyes. He wears an orange t-shirt, blue jeans, a black belt with a white buckle, and purple shoes, he carries a flashlight in his left hand.
Personality
Scaredy Cat: Olly's most notable trait is his lack of bravery. He is often cited as a scardy cat, being afraid of everything within the mansion, including Bunber, despite the latter's kindness in his regard.
Good Heart: Despite being easily frightened, Olly has a good heart, sharing various tips he learned throughout his years within the mansion with Molli to asssit her in her quest to escape.
Overly Cautious: Likely due to his skittish personality, Olly is overly caustious of everything within the mansion. He refuses to use other flashlights such as the lanterns, being afraid to burn his hand on them and refuses to use charms other than Heart Points-boosting charms, being too afraid of trying the risky charms.

A beat-up, worn-out flashlight that belongs to Olly. He gives it to Molli as a gift for listening to his long winded tale of a tragic love story. But isn't it dangerous for Olly to give Molly his only means of self-defense? You'd be right, but Olly always carries an emergency spare. Safety first!

Description
Soul Heart
Blue colored hearts which grants Soul Heart Points. Soul Heart Points are used as extra protection, taking damage will instead remove Soul Heart Points as a substitute for Heart Points.
Phantom Token
Phantom token are used to activate the Maltose Machine.
Notable Techniques
Chain Gauge
Olly can build up a chain by slaying monsters in succession. By maintaining a chain of ten or higher, Molli's Heart Meter will start to fill. Upon filling all the way up, Molli will be rewarded with a Heart which can restore four Heart Points.
Flashlight Weaknesses: Beam-type flashlights are unfavorable for vertical movement, needing Olly to carefully plan out his jumps. Lantern-type flashlights are unfavorable for horizontal movement due to the gap between orbs.
Charm Weaknesses: Gauge changing charms can't be used together. Certain Charms will come with penalties such as increasing the amount of damage their user takes or reducing their Heart Points amount.
Curse Weaknesses: While Curses offer buffs, they also come with a variety of penalties such as increasing the amount of damage their user takes, reducing their Heart Points amount or summoning allies that can harm them as well.
Maltose Machine Weaknesses: The Maltose Machine can give Olly a wide array of negative effects such as decreasing her speed, increase damage she receives or even reducing her Heart Point amount.
Note: Despite Candies and Curses themselves being considered optional equipment, Olly can naturally harness their powers
Trivia
One of the few things Olly isn't scared of is heights, even being described as being "the kid who'll get dangerously close to the cliff edge on a hike".
Despite being terrified of her, Olly thinks the Necro Witch's hat is quite cute.
Olly is a fan of pudding cups.
