Monthly harpy.chat character trend - October 2026

October's new characters recorded 950,971 interactions across 24,921 chats, from 1,150 characters published during the month. These figures count each new character's activity within October only, not all activity on harpy.chat, and characters published late in the month have fewer days in the window.

Conversation depth varied widely. Weighted by chat volume, chats averaged 17.7 messages. The median character averaged 10.4 messages per chat, with the middle half between 4.5 and 18.9. On The Chart, The teaser Roommate averaged 60.6 messages per chat across 107 chats, and The Incubus Can Taste Your Desire 45.3 across 116. The month's No. 1 drew the most chats on The Chart, 430, at 28.2 messages each.

yeetYeet led creators with 66,275 interactions across 26 new characters, including the month's No. 1. Shelob followed with 65,979 across 11, three of them in the top 15, and Bryanford22 ranked third with 62,651 across 17. Eliasakbar placed two of five new characters in the top 15, No. 2 and No. 7. Nothingwesr published a single new character, No. 4 on The Chart, and its 17,940 interactions alone put Nothingwesr 13th among the month's creators.

AnyPOV overtook Female for first place in The Index. Romance climbed 13 places to fifth after it was added on October 2 to the genre tags creators can pick, so much of that climb likely reflects the new option rather than a change in taste. Fantasy climbed five places to eighth on a 4.0% rise in interactions. The Spookypalooza event tag entered at 14th, across 185 new characters. The tag totals include custom tags as well as predefined choices. A character contributes its activity to every tag it carries, so these totals overlap and must not be added together as platform totals.

Stalker x sunshine, at No. 6, is a male character written for a female player and set up as enemies to lovers, a combination that has placed in the top 15 in every issue of The Trend Report so far.

The top three are set in worlds with rules a reader can pick up quickly: Hogwarts, a continent where only women can use magic, and a hero academy. Below them the premises turn personal, with a mother who hates you, a dare and a roommate. That suggests a setting readers can recognize from the title alone is a useful direction for creators to explore. It is an editorial reading of the ranked characters, not evidence that a particular premise caused their performance.
