guy, but you're wrong...kinda.
The girls in the HC series can be categorized into 3 groups not 2, according to you there are the protagonists (people with portraits and personal recollection rooms), and there are the secondary characters (everyone else without a portrait (like Alys or Eddie)), but in ACKCHYUALITY the girls without portraits are categorized as "extra characters", while girls WITH portraits but no relevance to the Main Story (like Haylen and Lily) are called "secondary characters" or "side girls" as i like to call them.
Proof so that people don't think that i'm just talking out of my ass:

So Basically the hierarchy in HC3 goes like this:
Protagonists/Main Girls: Rose & Cyanna
Secondary Characters/Side Girls: Haylen & Lily
Extra Characters: Every maid, guard, priestess, barmaid and prostitute who doesn't have a portrait.
