There are five female characters, Katherine, Gloria, the Queen, The Girl, and Taarna.

The Queen and The Girl are dubious naming conventions.

The movie is a series of vignettes related by the influence of the evil Loc-Nar, the Sum of All Evil. Only Katherine and the Queen are in the same story together, but they never talk to one another.

Gloria is never named on screen, only in the credits, though she has a prominent speaking role in her story.

Taarna is silent throughout most of her story and only interacts by fighting.

The Girl is likewise silent (except for gasps or screams).

Besides the young girl, all of the other four women in this movie get naked at some point and have sex with a man.
