Guardians are a kin of supradimensional, long-lived conscious beings. Their regular forms are alike big slugs or worms, white with bits of another color that depends on the individual, with streak patterns on their oval faces. They oversee several worlds, including ones when humans reside.
They seem to use an unknown writing system that also appears in other places on the comic, including the icon logo.

Countless Leaves
Countless Leaves is a Guardian, and the main character of Chapter 1 Intermission 1 "Powerless God". She is aware of the webcomic, the readers, and the community, breaking the fourth wall on more than one occassion, and showing hospitality and understanding towards the readers. The only times the comic's narration used the first person so far referred exclusively to her. She is also aware of the main cast and their communications, and oversees them, expressing concern over the future of their worlds, remarking "Things are… quite bad… for everyone involved."
She was "kicked out" their fellow Guardians, disagreeing on their attitudes about the overseen worlds. She mutually strongly dislikes Bowl of Peas, her former subordinate before her banishing, calling them "Piss" instead.
She prefers her humanoid form rather than their Guardian one. The former is pale, with hazelnut hair, a dark green long-sleeve shirt, hazelnut pants, dark green eyes, and a few dark green vine-like marks on her face. Her Guardian form is white with dark green.
