Queen Badiane (Carola's parotia) is the Conductor of the Marzipan Kingdom, a realm in ruins due to her obsession with becoming more and more powerful. She seeks Sugar Energy, obtained from people that overfocus on one single feeling/situation, to power up her Black Dream Hole and eventually swallow the Earth, trapping everyone in a loop where she can exploit their lives forever. For this cause, she enlists four of her remaining subjects (named the Flutes) and sends them to Earth to harvest said energy from the population, using their music to deteriorate people until they're ready for draining, using their BonBon Babies for support. Said subjects are:

Perle (ribbon-tailed astrapia), 4th Flute, using the Green BonBons to amplify people's envy and desire to win. The least enthused to do his job, he does it out of a belief that it's either this or dying a worse death, until the Senshi in general and Lia especifically help him realize that quitting is in fact an option, and is the first to betray Badiane, acting as intel for the Senshi while in hiding.

Banane (lesser bird of paradise), 3rd Flute, using the Orange BonBons that augment people's sweetness and joy. The most boisterous of the Flutes, he's also the strongest physically of the 4, and the one that seems to enjoy the work the most. He seems to truly believe in Badiane initially, but Perle's betrayal ends up opening his eyes and also defects.

Orangeat (King of Saxony's bird), 2nd Flute, controlling the Pink Bonbons that specialize in amplifying people's sourness and anger. He's pretty similar to Poupelin, but where he is stoic Orangeat is loud, openly scorning people, and is perfectly aware that he is just another piece in Badiane's game, and has no plans on joining the Senshi, believing they'll just use him as well.

Poupelin (black sicklebill), the 1st Flute, and the leader of the Flutes overall, controlling the Blue BonBons specializing in augmenting people's bitterness and resentment. He's pretty cold and stoic, believing that fulfilling Badiane's whims will let all of them be free in the end. He's initially very protective of Perle until he betrays them, and becomes determined to kill him himself.
