!Kunshira
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kunshira_1_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A Natura beastkin living in Gungan. She meets Lasswell's group while a dispute between tribes is going on, and joins them to deal with that issue. [[spoiler:She is actually a Shibyra who turned traitor to the tribe and had nowhere to go until King Yashka rescued her from a perilous situation. Kunshira swore UndyingLoyalty to the Natura since then.]]

* CatFolk: Despite generally going around on all fours, generally appearing to be a human-sized feline, and the fact that her people are generally called beastmen, she's still classified in the game as a human-type being for purposes of what affects her for extra damage.
* DualWielding: She can inherently two swords, two rods, or one of each (which, due to her passives, is the most effective build for her).
* GreenThumb: Like all Natura, she loves nature.
* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler:She swore loyalty to the Natura due to King Yashka saving her life despite her being a Shybira.]]
* LaserBlade: Projects a sword from her tail with a special magic ring in it.
* MagicKnight: As a vision, she has perhaps the widest array of hybrid attacks skills of all such characters, able to do both magic and physical damage in five different elements. Her Trust Master Reward is meant to emphasize this in whoever equips it, boosting both attack and magic if the wielder equips swords and robes.
* SpellBlade: Her class, basically, with various of her attacks working around it.
* UndyingLoyalty: She'll go to the end of the world to aid King Yashka as his top knight.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Most beastkind, Shibyra or Natura, have fur in colors that look similar to colors that would be found on animals in real life, like black or brown. Kunshira's pink fur with golden spots/underbelly stands out vividly thanks to this.

!Wadow
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wadow.png]]

A Natura bodyguard for King Yashka. He's highly protective of the king and has a bitter rivalry with Kunshira which only mellows out once Fina and Sakura intervene.

* KatanasAreJustBetter: Carries some katanas and tantos on his person as a Ninja.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: On the one scene he gets in the main story when he helps Lasswell [[spoiler:rescue King Yashka from Nagi]], he keeps denying he's doing this out of friendship for Lasswell or Fina.

!Mirfas
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirfas.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

An orphan who lived in the town of Sacher, tending to the children. She met Rain collapsed in the wasteland and brought him to the town; Rain offered to help her people in return. [[spoiler:This leads to Rain discovering that he's heir to the Aldoran throne, which sparks interest in the citizens (incited by the Children of Hess, no less) to kill him. Mirfas' death, trying to defend Rain from said citizens, triggers Sacher's destruction and Rain's FaceHeelTurn.]]

* DoomedByCanon: Her story event came out after it was revealed that Sacher was razed and that only Rain survived it. Unfortunately for her, that was not retconned in any way.
* StepfordSmiler: Her profile says she keeps a chipper facade to the other children to keep them happy, but it's obvious she's actually depressed.

!Diezell
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diezell.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A tall woman generally avoided by Georl's populace, believing her to be some sort of monster. After she's framed with murder, she gets stuck with Maisie, a compulsive liar, and has to work her way out of the situation she was put in, [[spoiler:which eventually leads her to an encounter with Rain, now king of Aldore]].

* AmazonianBeauty: Look at her art and try to say she's ugly.
* {{BFS}}: Diezell carries a peculiar blade called the Split Blade. She can take the center piece of her blade to form a [[DualWield secondary sword]] she can use, and she can also combine both blades in order to charge a powerful electric uppercut on her Limit Burst.
* BodyguardingABadass: [[spoiler:Diezell gets from Nichol and Sakura the job to be Rain's bodyguard. Yes, the same Rain who took down both the first and the last Emperor of Aldore, and later would solo ''three out of five members of Chorale's band '''while weakened'''''.]]
* FaceOfAThug: Part of why the attempt to frame her worked so well is that Diezell has a rough look and a natural scowl, so people tend to assume that she's constantly looking for fights and trouble. It comes up even before the frame job, and to hear her tell of it neither was the first time.
* FrameUp: The large part of her DayInTheLimelight is her being framed for murder, and her trying to escape so as to find the real guilty party. She implies that, while the situation this time is more extreme, this isn't the first time she's been framed for a crime.
* ShockAndAwe: Diezell's electric blade says it all.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's tall enough for the people in Georl to think she's some kind of monster.
* SuperGullible: Not helping Diezell is that she's easily taken in by confidence tricksters. Her unit description says that she still to this day has a habit for falling for Maisie's lies.

!Maisie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maisie_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A girl from parts unknown, and whose true story is even more unknown, as she's a compulsive liar who will try and fool anyone to get her way. She was paid to frame Diezell and ended up being discarded by her contractor. This forces her to ally with Diezell to escape prison, but she isn't any more willing to stop lying to people if those lies mean she can get any extra advantage from it.

* TheAtoner: Her guilt in how often she's put Diezell in a bad spot eventually catches up to her, and she ultimately returns to help out. [[spoiler: After meeting with Rain and finally sorting things out, she does work with Diezell well.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Maisie has a soft, innocent face, which belies just how capable she is at lying... and she knows it. A good chunk of her story event involves her abusing this to screw over Diezell multiple times, even ''after'' Diezell knows what she's like. She's starting to get over it by the end of the event.
* CompulsiveLiar: It's not clear if she could stop even if she tried. About the best that can be said is that, by the end, she tries to make her lies to Diezell less damaging and owns up to them faster ([[TheGadfly if only to see Diezell's flustered reaction]]).
* ConsummateLiar: Prides herself in her ability to lie to just about anyone.
* DishingOutDirt: Maisie prides herself as a very capable Earth mage.
* MultipleChoicePast: It's not clear if Maisie even tells the truth about her past in unit descriptions and awakening quotes.

!Sister
A wandering nun known to carry a huge mace. She's known for trying to solve things with dialogue and, when the option is not possible, she clobbers her opponents down. After saving Scartio from a brutal beatdown, she enlisted him in being her bodyguard as she travels Paladia [[spoiler:now that Quadis is not alive anymore to rule it]].

* CarryABigStick: That mace on her back wouldn't look out of place in Delmodoa's hands, really.
* GlacierWaif: So we have this nun carrying a mace twice her size, which she tends to use when someone decides to resort to violence.

!Scartio
A former Hess slave with a brand made by Aldore in his forehead, which he covers with his bandanna. He tries to avoid trouble at all costs, but this also has led him to participate in the same Order of Aldore tournament Lasswell has took part in. When his partners discovered his Hess bearings and started delivering a vicious beatdown, he eas rescued by Sister, who offered to give him a place to stay. [[spoiler:Once Quadis is defeated by Lasswell's party]], Scartio senses that he has no purpose left, and Sister then suggests him to travel the world with her, serving as her bodyguard.

* BodyguardingABadass: Scartio is more than aware that Sister may be more combat-capable than he is.

[[/folder]]


[[folder:Other Villains]]
!Dr. Lazarov
A mad scientist the party first encounters in Kolobos Island. He had been gathering dead bodies to experiment on in order to create a deadly weapon for Veritas of the Dark.

* TheBusCameBack:
** He returns after a two-island gap in the second half of Zoldaad. He also returns in the "The Phantom Blueprint" event, which was a second-season flashback to events prior to Lid meeting with Rain and Lasswell.
** He's actually BackFromTheDead in the Charlotte story event, "A World United". [[spoiler:And apparently Charlotte sends him back to the dead.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Revealed near the end of "The Phantom Blueprint" to have formerly worked with Heltich in researching power that can overwhelm and destroy minds. However, Heltich directed his research towards trying to help people cope with and manage such power, while Lazarov researched towards using it for his own ends.
* ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler:His main motivation for experimenting with the dead.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's only with the Sworn Six to further his research, and he's more than willing to ditch them if it suits his purposes.
* {{Jerkass}}: The fact that he kills Rain's airship crew for experimentation is pretty evil, but the fact that he drags their corpses across an archipelago just to use those corpses as zombies to attack Rain shows a level of pettiness that's hard to ignore.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Similar to the above, the Sworn Six only tolerated Lazarov as long as he didn't get in their way. When his actions nearly caused the destruction of the Invincible, Heavens jumps in and kills him to prevent his escape after Rain catches up with him.]]
* MadScientist: He's got enough brains to basically invent multiple new types of monster, and he's making progress in his search for immortality. Morality, though, is completely alien to him.
* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He is the main reason that the Zoldaad Empire is the way it currently is, and why the Invincible took flight.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name has been spelled in 3 different ways. First, as "Lasorov", a second time as "Lazorov", and the current spelling of "Lazarov".
* UnexplainedRecovery: Charlotte notes when he appears in "A World United" that it was reported that he was killed. He confirms this, but says he's back without explaining as to how (though his research into bioaugmentation and the undead are possible explanations).

!Emperor Sozhe
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sozhe_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

The current emperor of Zoldaad, who seeks a strong militaristic expansion and curbs opposition with violent repression. [[spoiler:It's revealed that this attitude is caused by Lazarov's brainwashing, which exacerbates the worst traits of his victims.]]

* BadassFamily: He's a very strong and resilient ruler, and his two sons (Shera and [[spoiler: Jake]]) are possible useful recruits as well.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Is being mind controlled by Lazarov.]]
* DyingAsYourself: When he is killed, he gets some last words with his son in hopes of making the kingdom better than he could.
* TheEmperor: The supreme political and military leader of Zoldaad at the beginning of the story, which is said to be among the most powerful and aggressive nations in the world all the way back in Grandshelt.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In his last moments, he admits that his lust for power was his desire to do well for his country at its heart, but he lost sight of that somewhere along the way.
* PlayingWithFire: As a vision, he can use fire magic, can add fire elemental damage to his attacks, can lower fire resistance in his foes, and can boost fire resistance for the party. In addition, one of the effects of his Trust Master reward is to boost fire resistance.
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Was mostly killed and controlled by Dr. Lazarov for the man's experiments. He does return to his senses after he is defeated however.]]
* PlayingWithFire: As suitable for the ruler of the nation hosting the Fire Crystal, he has several moves that do Fire damage and can drop enemy Fire resistance.
* PunnyName: Possibly not even ''intended'', but it's there. He's always called Emperor in-game, but another word for Emperor is "Kaiser". Which would make him, y'know, [[Film/TheUsualSuspects Kaiser Sozhe]].
* StoneWall: While a bit more capable of dishing out damage than other Stone Walls in the game, Sozhe is at his best tanking hits for everyone.

!Chaotic Darkness
[[spoiler: The embodiment of humanity's evil. It is summoned as a vision by Sol via the Land of the Crystals, and desires the destruction of both Lapis and Paladia.]]
----
* DarkIsEvil: This is the element it takes.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: It is humanity's natural evil, so of course it would look like this.]]
* HybridMonster: [[spoiler: Its true form has elements of no less than eight other monsters from the game.]]
* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler: "Hate ... Hate ... Hate ... Die ... Die ... Die ... Destroy ... Destroy ... Destroy"]]
* TheBattleDidntCount: [[spoiler:It just changes shape from a giant skull with hands to [[HybridMonster an amalgamation of various monsters]] when it is first defeated.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Any mention of it basically spoils the ending to Season 1 of the game's story.

[[folder:Original Summons]]
In addition to the characters above and all of the crossover characters, there are a large number of playable characters, summonable as Visions, who are completely unique to the setting of ''Brave Exvius'', and are detailed below. While there are many directly story-relevant characters who can be summoned as well, tropes for them should go in their entries above.

!Tropes associated with all of them:
----
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Some of the summons are characters that Rain's party will encounter, like Luka, Charlotte and [[spoiler: Dark Fina]].
* OriginalGeneration: They are the original characters of ''Brave Exvius''.
* PosthumousCharacter: Most of them are heroes/villains in the history of the world of ''Brave Exvius''. [[spoiler:A decent number of the later ones are still alive, though.]]
* RegionalBonus: As noted on the main page, some of these folks are exclusive to the Global version. Some of them even seem to have event or story hooks.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] - some of the original summons that are also part of the story do explicitly mention certain plotline details (including the deaths of the characters in question [[spoiler: Elle in particular is a bad offender]]), but some [[spoiler: such as Shera]] avoid revealing major plot points.

!Artemios
A self-trained archer whose skill at hunting led others to hiring him as a hitman. And he became exceptionally good at it.
----
* ColdSniper: As he was hired for more and more jobs, he became more jaded and emotionally distant.
* GlassCannon: He can dish out plenty of damage (in fact, when the game first launched, he was in the running for most powerful non-magic user), but he has almost no durability.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Whichever nameless person who had the bright idea to start hiring Artemios for assassination jobs wanted to see if he'd be just as good at hunting people as he was hunting animals. Not only was he just as good, but he grew to like it way too much.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: At first, taking assassination jobs was just for money, but he soon grew to love killing people and started doing it for fun.
* SerialKiller: By the end, Artemios was just hunting people for sport.
* SpamAttack: He was one of the first characters to get the Barrage attack, and still one of the easiest who learn it to acquire.
* SoLastSeason: Perhaps poster child for this within the game. Once upon a time, he was one of the most formidable units that could be fielded. Between having a nigh-useless [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 Trust Master Reward]], the sheer number of units that manage to beat him in raw stats, abilities learned, and equipment worn all at once, and the fact that he was completely ignored by both ability awakening and the launch of six-star levels of power, Artemios would only have use in a new player's team if nothing better has been summoned yet.

!Medius
A gunner who creates powerful technology to combat brute force and magic, but is seen as a threat to people.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He can become 6 Star unit in the Global version despite being stuck as 5 Star in Japanese version.
* CoolGun: He uses this as his main weapon.
* CoolHat: He starts bareheaded, but he gets a sweet gold-trimmed purple tricorne upon awakening.
* CriticalHitClass: Has a passive ability that increases CriticalHit chances.
* DrawAggro: He gains the ability to Draw Attacks - but given [[GlassCannon his low hit points and defenses]], it's more of a drawback than anything else.
* DualWielding: A zig-zagged version, it seems to be the case in his sprite, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation but he can't learn it naturally]] but then played straight by awakening his Gun Master ability.
* ExperienceBooster: His Trust Master reward doubles the experience of whoever has it equipped.
* GadgeteerGenius: He creates his own weapon and is seen as a genius, [[TooPowerfulToLive but it also causes his downfall]].
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: See that note under TooPowerfulToLive? That's why he gets DrawAggro - he's a marked man by ''everyone'', even monsters, because of his discovery of guns.
* GlassCannon: His defense and HP are rather low, but he has really high attack power when equipped with a gun.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "The Phantom Blueprint" reveals that this was Medius' fate, being shot to death by someone using one of his own guns. It's even called "The Tragedy of Medius" in the game's present day.
* TooPowerfulToLive: His invention is considered way ahead of his time, so he is seen as a threat and a fugitive.

!Chizuru
An honorable Samurai who has great pride and was devoted to her master. She was the mother of Hayate and Miyuki, and the wife of Jiraiya.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that she's the mother of Hayate and Miyuki (and the wife of Jiraiya), it's only explicitly stated in the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
* BadassFamily: She's the wife of a 5-star base summon, mother of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of her children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. Further, one of her distant descendants (Yuri) is another 6-star max ninja with a decent Trust Master Reward.
* GlassCannon: Her HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6 Star Unit]], but her attack is very high.
* HerdHittingAttack: Her ultimate move is Phantom Shadow, which not only hits every foe on screen and chains, but ignores some of the targets' defense.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her main weapon. Her Trust Master award takes this UpToEleven; anyone equipped with it and a katana gets a huge boost to their attack.
* {{Samurai}}
* {{Seppuku}}: [[spoiler:Her 6* awakening reveals that after Miyuki was led astray, Chizuru decided to take her own life by committing seppuku.]] [[spoiler:Way of the Warrior story event shows Hayate to be the one who done the final blow.]]
* SpamAttack: Learns Barrage, which is her strongest attack option prior to awakening to six-star status.
* StandardStatusEffects: She can paralyze foes with Blade Bash, and she's one of the exceedingly few characters that can use Stop with Dismissal - as a bonus, she's one of the very few who can do it outside of a LimitBreak.
* TheStoic: She's very measured with everyone, even her own family. She's even able to [[spoiler: discuss not only committing {{Seppuku}}, but making her own son act as her second]] without hesitation or much emotion.
* UndyingLoyalty: She's like this to her master.



!Ruggles
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruggles_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A dwarf who was lost from his homeland after the sundering of Lapis. He was later rescued, dying of starvation, by Lunera. He later befriended the elven couple, and began building an underground passage for them to be able to traverse the now hostile lands of Gronoa.
----
* {{Determinator}}: Ruggles refuses to give up on anything, fighting against even nature itself in order to help out the people he cares about. [[spoiler: Even after both Lunera and Bran succumb to the miasma, he continues to build tunnels in miasma-free areas as well as tend a tree that breaks down miasma in their memory.]]
* DownerEnding: Ruggles loses two of the only people that he ever cared about, and he ended up leaving Gronoa because the memory of the two was too painful for him to dwell upon. And the other Dwarves also rejected him [[FantasticRacism for cooperating with elves]]. Urgh.
* DropTheHammer: His character model's weapon, as well as his Trust Master reward.
* DueToTheDead: While not terribly elaborate or even well made, Ruggles left a tribute - in Elvish, no less - to Bran and Lunera by the tree that he cultivated to try to help them deal with the miasma.
* TheFaceless: In a tradition that extends back to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', the only facial features of Ruggles that can be seen are his eyes and his luxurious beard.
* IOweYouMyLife: His dedication to Lunera is due to her saving him when she found him collapsed and near death.
* TheStoic: While Ruggles does clearly react to what's going on around him, he doesn't emote very much - he's much more of one to let his actions convey his feelings. His idea of making a tribute to the people who saved him is to literally carve out large tunnels that can house multiple towns, plus nurture a tree that ends up surviving for centuries.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops into this dynamic with Bran, mostly because Lunera's last wish was for the two to get along.

!Lunera
One of the last elves in Gronoa, who finds the near-death Ruggles when out on a walk. Her husband, Bran, was the other survivor. In the present day, the ruins of her manor still stand, and serve as the site of several battles held on the orders of Veritas of the Frost, as well as the temple for the Esper Lakshmi.
----
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Bran's reactions suggest that Lunera was just a kind soul that loved to support and befriend any creature that wasn't hostile to her. We see it in action with how quickly she takes to Ruggles.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with her husband, she wields a bow and is a very potent magic-user, meaning she shoots both physical and magical projectiles at foes.
* IllGirl: She's already in the terminal stages of miasma poisoning when she first finds Ruggles. [[spoiler: She's permanently bedridden shortly thereafter, and she dies about halfway through the side arc featuring her story.]]
* LastOfTheirKind: She and Bran are the last elves on Gronoa, and it's clear that their time is nearly over. [[spoiler: She dies about halfway through her plot event.]]
* MoreDakka: As a vision, she has access to perhaps the most hits - 20 - in a single strike.

!Bran
Lunera's partner and one of the last living elves in Gronoa. He is rather vindictive of other people, especially dwarves -- which causes him to initially be at high odds with Ruggles. Once Lunera dies from the effects of Gronoa's miasma, however, he starts to develop a genuine friendship with Ruggles in her stead.
----
* CantArgueWithElves: Bran is a big elf supremacist, insistent that the elven way of life is better and that the works of other races just make things worse. He stands out because, of the five characters of elven descent who have appeared so far (himself, Lunera, Madam Edel, Amber, and Fryevia), he's the only one who acts this way.
* ElvesVersusDwarves: Due to his cultural posturing, he clashes a lot with Ruggles about which way of life is better.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with his wife, he primarily wields swords and performs melee attacks.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Among his complaints about Ruggles wasting his time was that Ruggles was trying to nurture a tree that could break down the miasma safely. In other words, that Ruggles was trying to use a bit of nature to combat the effects of a man-made disaster. He says this in his study, filled with books that were presumably made from felled trees.
* LastOfHisKind: He and Lunera are the last elves in Gronoa, and he in particular has little hope that they'll be around much longer. Sadly, he's right - truly becoming the last elf when Lunera dies halfway through their event, and himself succumbing to the miasma near the end.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops this with Ruggles, partly due to Lunera's final wishes, and partly because he's finally able to come to terms with the flaws in his fatalist philosophy.
* YouCantFightFate: A strong believer that one must simply accept what nature has in store. Among other things, he resents humanity and dwarves for trying to build things to fight against the natural order, believing that it's the root cause of the miasma. Near the end, he admits that his stubbornness on this point may have contributed to his people's decline.

!Jiraiya
A ninja who served Queen Kaede in times prior to Pharm's founding. He is the father of Hayate and Miyuki, and the husband of Chizuru.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that he's the father of Hayate and Miyuki (and the husband of Chizuru), it's never explicitly stated anywhere outside of the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
* BadassFamily: He's the husband of a 4-star base, father of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of his children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. His distant descendant is also in the summon pool, also with a solid Trust Master Reward
* DualWield: His Trust Master Reward is a limited version, which provides a large attack buff along with the ability to use two katanas at once.
%%* Expy: He seems to be an Expy of the character of the same name from ''Anime/{{Naruto}}''.
* GlassCannon: His HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6-Star Unit]], but his attack and magic is very high.
* HerdHittingAttack: As a ninja, he has a plethora of scrolls that can hit multiple foes along with causing status ailments.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: His main weapon, although he's outright encouraged to use Dual Wield. His version of Blade Mastery also gives 50% MAG.
* TheStoic: He doesn't emote at all, even worse in this regard than his wife Chizuru. [[spoiler: This leads to festering resentment that an enemy ninja was able to exploit in order to bring down Kaede's fiefdom.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jiraya is very similar in appearance to Hayate, down to having similar stances.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's like this to his master, Kaede. [[spoiler: To the point that he sacrifices himself to stop his daughter Miyuki, then under mind control, from killing Kaede.]]

[[folder:Lapis Allies]]
!Tropes common to all of them
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[spoiler:At the end of Season 1, EVERY supporting character, even the ones that the party didn't meet like Helena and Ulrica, help give Rain and his friends the natural good will that they need to stand against the Chaotic Darkness]].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: These folks tend to get hit with it harder than most, because by and large they eventually end up in the general summoning pool as time goes on. As a number of them are 3-4* base rarity, to boot, it means that it's very possible to end up with them in your party long before you actually meet them.
* PromotedToPlayable: Tends to happen to them some time after they first appear in the story; they can be summoned as Visions and can be used in your fighting party.

!Luka
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luka_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

Olderion's Maiden of Water, and the younger sister of Nichol. She's the Water Priestess of Olderion for her generation, and the one tasked with purifying the waters with the help of the Water Goddess Leviathan.

* AmbidextrousSprite: Another notable aversion - her typical standing posture has her right foot a little behind her left, resting on her toes, and her left and right-facing sprites ''do'' reflect this as they properly should!
* TheChosenOne: A minor one compared to Rain, but Luka was chosen by the Water Crystal at a young age.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Seems to be a family trait as she and her brothers have blue hair and eyes.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII Aria]], another {{Miko}} associated with Water [[spoiler:who performs a HeroicSacrifice to purify the land from evil influence. Appropriately, Aria's {{Leitmotif}} plays during her "death".]]
* GenderBlenderName: Not as blatant as her brothers, but Luka's name is masculine in several languages.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Puts herself into a DeepSleep to completely purify Lake Dorr and Leviathan. She actually survived.]]
* HighClassGloves: An odd example - they're very conspicuous in all of her concept artwork (the gloves going past her elbows and accompanied with bangles on her wrists), but in the game itself, she's notably bare-armed.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: A ''little'' less impossible than a few other examples in the franchise, but it does seem there's [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:FFBE_Luka_-_sprite_concept.png nothing holding her dress up]] aside from the universe's need to keep the Water Maiden chaste.
* NunsAreMikos: She has a number of nun-like elements to her outfit, including the veil.
* PutOnABus: Once Leviathan is tamed, she makes it clear that she's going to be just fine - she just has to purify Lake Dorr for the next decade or so.
** TheBusCameBack: Nichol's Side Story chapter reveals that he convinced Leviathan to release her before he left for Paladia.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Yes, blue is the official color of the Olderion Federation, her home, but it's worth noting that, of the three Wardens of the Waters that are met, Luka is both the most feminine and wears the most blue.
* WhiteMagicianGirl: When she first appears, she definitely meets the demure feminine ideal, as well as being rather caring and compassionate to the point of attempting to cure the Leviathan. The final point comes when she finally becomes available as a Vision; the only white magic she lacks is revival magic.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Just like her family, and natch for a Maiden of Water.

!Elle
Another Warden of Water, and Nichol's younger brother. He's tasked with commanding Olderion's military force on the frontlines where Nichol handles tactics. Has both admiration and envy for his siblings for their role to Olderion and Leviathan, which also causes him to exhibit an inferiority complex when comparing himself to both of them.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a polearm taller than he is.
* BuffySpeak: "Inferior-water-drinking foreigners!" Sure, Elle.
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: Nichol decides to name Elle's daughter "Ellie" after him.]]
* GenderBlenderName: Elle is unambiguously a man, despite the fact that his name is feminine in several languages.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his YouShallNotPass act costs him his life.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He comes across as a real jerk to our heroes when they first meet him due to his NobleBigot tendencies about non-Olderians, but he really does want to keep his country and his family safe, and both are feeling the squeeze due to the Leviathan crisis.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: [[spoiler:His fiancée Arsha reveals that she's pregnant with his child after being informed about his death.]]
* TakingTheBullet[=/=]DrawAggro: Fittingly for the above tropes, when he becomes a Vision that can be summoned, he gains both of these abilities to cover for his allies.
* WellDoneSonGuy: As shown in a flashback, Elle was rather desperate to prove to someone, anyone, that he was as capable of being as capable of helping Olderion as his siblings, Nichol and Luka. Nichol, for his part, tried to help Elle with his inferiority complex.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Just like his family.
* YouShallNotPass: Stalls the Waterlord from breaking Water Crystal long enough for Rain and Nichol to arrive at the Crystal room.

!Mercedes
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mercedes.jpg]]

A pirate captain who rules over Olderion's northern sea. Initially hostile and willing to make a quick buck out of Rain's hide, her experience with him in the seas of Olderion causes her to turn over a new leaf.

* AnAxeToGrind: She's carrying around an axe roughly half the volume of her body, her attack grows a ridiculous amount when she wields one (and said attack increase can grow even further with ability awakening), and her Trust Master reward is an extraordinarily powerful axe (going by raw numbers, the most powerful weapon in the game that is obtainable outside of limited events or the Trust Master rewards of five-star base characters).
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Once Rain's group defeats her and her crews, they lend their assistance and ship.
* {{Expy}}: As a pirate captain who assists the heroes after being defeated, she's this to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Bikke]]. She's also got no small amount of similarity to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Faris]].
* ImpoverishedPatrician: Her backstory on her unit page, and a cutscene from the "Memories of Olderion" event, reveal that she was originally a noble's daughter growing up, living a life of luxury. Her family nearly lost everything, with Mercedes only having her ship to her name. Refusing to just accept being beaten down, she turned to piracy to stand up for herself.
* MakingASplash: She can use the Water line of spells, and she also does Water damage with her LimitBreak.
* SpamAttack: Learns Barrage as she levels.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Outside of a longcoat worn open (which becomes fur-lined upon awakening), the only thing protecting her modesty is a bikini.
* VideoGameStealing: Appropriate for a pirate, she learns Mug (damage and 50% chance to steal an item) by leveling.

!Crown Prince Shera
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shera.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Emperor Shera]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shera_emperor.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

The prince [[spoiler:and eventually Emperor]] of Zoldaad, [[spoiler:and also Jake's younger half-brother]]. Shera secretly helped Jake with his rebellion due to having no taste for his father Sozhe's militaristic interests. When the party meets him, they have to bail him out of prison, [[spoiler:where he was sent by Lazarov's suggestion]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: Emperor Shera's limit burst involves him summoning his personal guard, who have a wide range of varied and useful abilities.
* DistressedDude: The first time you meet him involves saving him in prison from being executed.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Pretends Amelia killed him]] in order to unmask a traitor in his court.
* KingIncognito: Has a habit of going out into the general public in disguise to get feedback from the people.
* GratuitousGerman: His limit bursts ''Kaiser Ziel'' and ''Kaiser Verteidiger'', as well as some of his normal attack skills.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Tries to use this on his father before [[spoiler: TheReveal that his father is a zombie kicks in]].
* MagikarpPower: His 5 star version, Emperor Shera, is a mediocre damage dealer and support hybrid with not enough base attack to make a difference to the meta. Come his 7 star version, he is one of the better units in the game, with the ability to dualcast his abilities without dual wielding, the ability to give both himself and another unit the fire element, moves that chain with the Orlandeau family of chainers, and innate killers against almost all enemy types.
* PlayingWithFire: He has several fire-based attacks as a vision.
* RebelPrince: Helps the rebellion restore the Empire to its former glory.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He was actively helping the rebels and once he's on the throne sends his personal guard out to help the party while they are in Gronoa. He also takes an active role in exposing the Prime Minister's corruption [[spoiler: and provides assistance to Charlotte during her Story Event.]]
* SpamAttack: Notable in that he starts with Barrage as a three-star vision, which is generally reserved for something learned at higher levels as a five-star vision.
* ShipTease: With Lid in the 4koma. He asks Jake whether he can ask Lid out on a date, much to his older brother's horror.
* TheStrategist: Works out a complex plan to oust rebellion in his court.
* TheWisePrince: He wants to end Zoldaad's militarism, he wants to have a peaceful resolution to the rebellion, and he's concerned about the general welfare of the people. [[spoiler: He also wants to make sure that Jake, his half-brother, gets a fair shake even though he's not a legitimate heir.]] He gets upgraded to TheGoodKing at the end of Rain's travels through Zoldaad.
* TookALevelInBadass: His Season 1 form is a measly 3-star. His Season 2 form, Emperor Shera, is a 5-star and a decent Divine Ruination chainer at 7-star with multiple killer types.

!Evan
Lid's older brother. Also an engineer, he wanted to design airships just like his sister. However, letting greed get the best of him [[spoiler:as result of brainwashing made by Lazarov]], he started working with the military [[spoiler:and later, the Veritas of the Heavens]], to make a bigger profit off of creating weapons.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After Lazarov's hold is broken on him, he decides to work with Shera to promote peace and atone for what he did under brainwashing.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: The actual reason for his MoneyFetish was so that he could support Lid's projects and get them closer to their dreams.
* BigDamnHero: [[spoiler:He shows up driving the Invincible so that the heroes can go fight the Chaotic Darkness.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Controlled by Dr. Lazarov for the man's experiments.]]
* BrokenPedestal: Lid reveals that she used to think much more highly of her brother, before he began just working for the highest bidder. [[spoiler:When it's revealed that he's working for Veritas of the Heavens, while Lid can accept it fairly easily, it still clearly bothers her greatly.]]
* DummiedOut: Sprites for a unit version of him exist within the game's files, but he has yet to be released as a playable unit.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:He's working for Veritas of the Heavens and Dr. Lazarov when the party first meets him.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: It's strongly implied that many of the mechanized foes that plague Rain and company throughout Dilmagia are his builds or designs, and the background information from Lid's five-star form reveals that he previously beat out Lid for the title of Cid, Dilmagia's master engineer.
* IdiotBall: During "The Phantom Blueprint", Evan is able to figure out pretty quickly that the machine that Heltich found was made by Dr. Lazarov, and that it's capable of controlling people and animating the dead. He decides to try to hide all of this information, including the machine, from his sister Lid, and he decides to confront Lazarov about this alone without telling anyone what he's doing or why. [[spoiler:This is how Evan ends up BrainwashedAndCrazy in the first place.]]
* MoneyFetish: A lot more than his sister, although could possibly be subverted as the only reason he wanted so much money was to make his and Lid's dreams come true.

!Heltich
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heltich.jpg]]

A black mage from Mysidia who was exiled by Sakura and other Mysidian elders for research into magical powers to augment living beings, which had the side effect of creating monsters that ran wild. He later accompanies Ulrica to research her and to help her finally control her powers.

* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: What he thinks he's doing in a platonic sense. He comes to think that his continued research is just going to put Ulrica in danger, so he tries to tell her that he's abandoning his research and going his own way to save her life.
* CoolHat: Heltich has the traditional ''Final Fantasy'' black mage conical brimmed hat, in black with some sort of purple decoration/projection on its front.
* ADayInTheLimelight: His first appearance was a brief appearance during the "Shadow of the Empire" event that showed how he met Ulrica. He, along with her, become the focal point of the "The Phantom Blueprint" event.
* ElementalPowers: Heltich's spell list includes PlayingWithFire, DishingOutDirt, ShockAndAwe, and BlowYouAway, with CastingAShadow with his [[LimitBreak Limit Burst]].
* TheExile: While the specific final incident hasn't been shown, it's made clear that he's not welcome back in Mysidia.
* GoodCounterpart: He's one to Dr. Lazarov - the two used to work together, but Heltich [[EveryoneHasStandards had lines he wouldn't cross for research]] and he still works for the betterment of people as a whole instead of just himself. However, Lazarov was introduced first and Heltich's status as this is only shown in a limited-time event.
* LoveEpiphany: He comes to realize that his concern for Ulrica is romantic after seeing that she fought nearly to the death to help save him.
* MadScientist: One with some level of ethics, considering that he viewed injecting living people with magical powers just to see what would happen as wrong. However, he was quite comfortable with animal experimentation even when it would result in monster creation, which led to his exile from Mysidia.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: It's suggested that his self-buff skills are him turning the results of his research onto himself.
* PureEnergy: Heltich also learns several non-elemental magical attacks, in case his foes resist the ElementalPowers he has at his command.
* SquishyWizard: Like many black mages in the series, he's built for offense and not much else. Heightened by his various buff skills, which increase his magic power at the sake of his defenses.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Heltich's ultimate goal is to make it so that otherwise defenseless people could use magical power to defend themselves. However, while he won't experiment on ([[ProfessorGuineaPig other]]) people such that they lose control, he's willing to perform experiments so dangerous that he gets booted from his hometown.

!Ulrica
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ulrica.jpg]]

A berserker who wanders around, making her living as a mercenary. She originally travels alone for fear of hurting others during her rages, but she begins to accompany Heltich, in part because he wants something from her that isn't just to kill his foes.

* AnAxeToGrind: She prefers axes (though also good with [[DropTheHammer hammers]]), getting a bonus to wielding one. Her battle sprite also has one.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Heltich is the first person that wants her for more than just killing things, and he's also the first person who has any interest in helping out her ShrinkingViolet side. She naturally grows closer to him because of this.
* TheBerserker: Given that she has almost no active skills, she's pretty much there to beat things into a pulp, and in fact her Limit Break even puts her into the Berserk state, making it so that she auto-attacks.
* BloodKnight: Her berserker personality will attack pretty much anyone nearby, and Heltich is apparently the only one who can calm it down.
* CounterAttack: In part to represent her berserk fury in-battle, she has a very high chance of countering anything done to her. Pretty much the only way to avoid a counter is to either kill her or hit her with a status ailment.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Yes, she hits like a truck and can counter nearly anything. However, physical hits and counters are ''all'' she can do - she doesn't even have backup buffs to help out. Anything with high physical defense and/or the ability to dodge blows is going to just laugh her off. Plus, if her Limit Burst is activated, she can't even be controlled, which makes it impossible to use her for chaining.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Her first appearance was a brief appearance during the "Shadow of the Empire" event that showed how she met Heltich. She, along with him, become the focal point of the "The Phantom Blueprint" event.
* HulkingOut: How the game describes her entering her berserk state, apparently becoming much more physically imposing and threatening ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation she still uses the same sprites]]).
* LoveEpiphany: It takes her some time to realize that her protectiveness towards Heltich is more than just thankfulness. In particular, the fact that her berserker personality was willing to fight to the death to defend him makes her realize that he's more than just the guy seeking to teach her how to control her power.
* MythologyGag: Ulrica is visually a dead ringer for [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Lenna in the Berserker job]].
* NemeanSkinning: The first clue that Ulrica is more than just a retiring girl is the fact that she's wearing a FurBikini with a tiger's skinned head as a hat.
* ShrinkingViolet: Ironically, her personality outside of battle, which causes people unfamiliar with her to think that she'll be worthless in a fight.
* SplitPersonality: She treats her berserk form as this, to the extent that she doesn't trust that she can avoid attacking others while in that state. However, how she acts towards Heltich suggest that the two aren't quite as different as she thinks.
* UnskilledButStrong: Heltich theorizes (and it's suggested in-story that he's correct) that Ulrica naturally possesses an excess of magical power in her system, and threatening situations causes Ulrica to access it, and the inability to control the excess when reached is what causes her berserk rage. She initially agrees to let him accompany her in the hopes that he can figure out a way to let her access it without the loss of control on her part.

!Marie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marie_5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A green mage from Mysidia who is energetic and cheerful, compared to everyone in the town, and loves taunting her enemy.

* GenkiGirl: She's pretty freaking genki, and she's more of ThePrankster in gameplay than anything.
* HiddenDepths: Her 6* awakening shows a more cunning side to her.
-->'''6-star awakening story blurb:''' One of the most proficient green mages in all of Mysidia. Marie is extremely intelligent and incredibly well versed in magic, although her personality is quite eccentric. Yet another side of her, however, shows just how obsessed she is with discovering how green magic can push the boundaries of the human body. Behind all of her unusual behavior lies a calculating and logical mind that seeks to understand how much the heart of a person who has been strengthened with magic can take, as well as how low a person who has been enfeebled can fall.
* LostInTranslation: Gumi's ScheduleSlip caused Marie's Character Quest in Mysidia to not come to Global.
* ThePrankster: Loves to debuff and taunt her enemy.
* SupportPartyMember: Being a green mage - she has spells to buff every stat and can cast spells to mitigate every type of elemental damage.

!Amelia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amelia_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
%%[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amelia_and_emilia_1.png]]
%% [[caption-width-right:350:Amelia (in red) and her twin sister, Emilia]]

Prince Shera's maid. A former mercenary once known as the "Dual Gunner". She was secretly working with Jake to support the Empire, and after Shera assumes the Zoldaad throne, she tasks herself with gathering a team that will serve as Shera's personal guard.

* AllThereInTheManual: It is heavily implied in their descriptions that Shine is one of her personas. [[spoiler: However, she has a twin sister, Emilia, who is really Shine.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: One event chapter focused on the doings of her and the others she recruited, with the only party member getting much reference at all being Jake (who doesn't even appear).
* DualWield: She's one of the first few that can innately equip two weapons (limited to guns, but as she gets an attack buff when equipped with guns, that's not a problem).
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: There's a reason she's called "Dual Gunner Amelia," though she has to be leveled a bit before her Vision can do it.
* {{Meido}}: Her current position, which is in part to be a spy for Jake and a bodyguard for Shera. Her frill and her dress are also equipment that others can equip (the dress, in fact, is one of the best armors for a gun user to equip, and is not one of the rare gender-exclusive items), although this doesn't change their sprite at all.
* MoreDakka: One of her skills is Rapid Fire, which has Amelia randomly targeting enemies and doing a normal attack - potentially up to seven times, doubled if she's currently equipped with two guns ([[DualWield and she almost certainly is]]). Back in the time where Chain families weren't really a thing, she was one of the best in the game at producing hits for {{Combo}} attacks.
* NinjaMaid: Rather literally, as she's a former mercenary working as a maid.
* StandardStatusAilments: Capable of inflicting Stop on an entire field of opponents.
* ThatWomanIsDead: She doesn't like responding to the name "Dual Gunner Amelia", insisting that she's just a simple maid. Sure, a simple maid that can take out a whole field of opponents in a rain of gunfire, but just doing what she can for Prince Shera and his brother. It's not entirely clear if this is just part of her cover, or if she wants to leave her old life behind.

!Fohlen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fohlen_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A mercenary Chocobo Knight with a kind heart who catches Amelia's attention. Recruited by Amelia to be part of Shera's guard, she sends him and Ilias to help Jake and Rain's party deal with the miasma in the Gronoa arc.

* BladeOnAStick: Due to his preference of MountedCombat, Fohlen favors equipping spears.
* BlowYouAway: Specializes in wind-element attacks.
* TheCavalry: [[IncrediblyLamePun Pun aside]], he and Ilias come in as Rain and his friends are starting to succumb to Gronoa's miasma to provide an antidote that allows the party to continue their quest. Fohlen's contribution was making sure no monsters would get to Ilias on the journey.
* ADayInTheLimelight: One event chapter focused on the doings of him and the others recruited by Amelia, with the only party member getting much reference at all being Jake (who doesn't even appear).
* DoppelgangerSpin: Fohlen starts every battle by making after-images from his chocobo running around at top speed. For gameplay purposes, this manifests as Fohlen starting every battle with the "mirage" buff active, meaning the first physical attack against him is guaranteed to miss.
* HorsebackHeroism: Well, [[HorseOfADifferentColor chocobo-back]], as this is a ''Final Fantasy'' game, but Fohlen stays mounted and does his best to help those in need.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: Takes a mission from a poor child to get medicine for his sister for free.

!Ilias
A Chemist specializing in concocting rare medicines from harvested plants. He's recruited by Jake via Amelia to help out in Zoldaad, and later accompanies Fohlen to bring an antidote to Gronoa's miasma to the party.

* BagOfHolding: A notable aversion in a game (and series) that liberally uses this trope, as Ilias carries on his back a bag that's larger than he is. It's quite likely that he just has that much room to carry all his medicines.
* CallBack: During the event chapters featuring him, he tries to live up to the example of Mel, one of the great chemists in the history of ''Brave Exvius''. Easy to miss, but she's one of the friend point summons, and her unit description even mentions how she made a HeroicSacrifice to make medicines to save people. Ilias' design is also a CallBack to hers - most notably, they wear almost the exact same hat.
* TheCavalry: He and Fohlen come in as Rain and his friends are starting to succumb to Gronoa's miasma to provide an antidote that allows the party to continue their quest. Ilias' contribution is actually curing the miasma affliction.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Ilias might be the best possible healer for difficult explorations, as he's the absolute best with items, capable of spreading their use well beyond what anyone else can do. However, if items are either unnecessary because there's relatively few fights (such as event battles), the levels are easy enough that items aren't necessary at all, or items are just plain banned (such as the arena), Ilias has precious little that he can do.
* ADayInTheLimelight: One event chapter focused on the doings of him and the others recruited by Amelia, with the only party member getting much reference at all being Jake (who doesn't even appear).
* HumbleHero: He may be the absolute best at producing medicine in the world, but his only concern is healing people and curing their afflictions; he couldn't care less about anything that isn't helping others.
* MartialPacifist: He's mostly just focusing on healing or getting materials to heal others, and he sometimes has a hard time even noticing that he has to defend himself. That said, he's just as capable of using the "attack" command as anyone else.
* SquishyWizard: Well, squishy scientist, but he's not particularly durable. That said, what he can do with medicines is well beyond what anyone else in the world can do.

!Camille
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/camille_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A wandering mercenary who happened upon Amelia's recruitment for Shera's personal guard. She's sent to Gronoa to help Rain's party in their quest, but gets involved in her own adventures instead.

* MakingASplash: Has some Water attacks to her name, as well as her TMR is a Water-elemental sword.

!Aileen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aileen_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see her ''War of the Visions'' art]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aileen.png[[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Faithful Weaponsmith'']]
-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English) [''[[VideoGame/WarOfTheVisionsFinalFantasyBraveExvius War of the Visions]]'']

A machine engineer from Dilmagia who travels around the world to improve herself, she is always known for being a very skilled engineer - to the point that Emperor Sozhe of Zoldaad attempted to recruit her to create weapons for military use, but she refused. She travels the world in order to get ideas for new weapons and gadgets when she meets Rain, Lasswell and Fina in Kolobos Island. She also happens to be an old friend of Jake's who time and again helped him in his rebellion.

* AscendedExtra[=/=]TheBusCameBack: She finally has a named on-screen appearance in a non-limited event as of the second anniversary, appearing in the "Side Stories" chapters that center around Lid and Jake.
** It says something in her popularity that she was one of the first characters from ''Brave Exvius'' to come to ''VideoGame/WarOfTheVisions'' as a launch unit along with Ayaka and Mediena, and one of the first units non-relevant to an event to get a Neo Vision Awakening[[note]]In Global, the release of her NVA was delayed instead of coming with Awakened Dragon Akstar's banner[[/note]], after Veritas of the Dark.
* TheBlacksmith: While she's a capable [[GadgeteerGenius inventor]] overall, she admits that she primarily likes to focus on weapon creation and development. She's not afraid to touch base with Lid to see if developments in other fields will help improve her own work, though.
* BladeOnAStick: Her trust master reward is a [[InfinityPlusOneSword very powerful lance]] [[DishingOutDirt with earth element]] on it.
** SwissArmyWeapon: The first thing she does upon performing her Brave Shift? Have her pike ''unlock a secondary drill tip''.
* DishingOutDirt: She has the ability to add earth elemental damage to her attack and reduce enemy's resistance to earth, and [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 her trust master reward]] is a powerful spear with the earth element on it. As a Neo Vision, her Brave Shift makes her into an Earth-element locked finisher.
* DubNameChange: From Eileen to Aileen.
* GadgeteerGenius: She is known for this.
* GogglesDoNothing: Subverted, as this is her Super Trust Mastery Reward, one of the best headgear for physical units due to the raw ATK and sheer amount of killers in it.
* MultiMeleeMaster[=/=]MultiRangedMaster: She's one of the few units that can equip every type of weapon - the only ones she can't are unit-exclusive weapons.
* ShipperOnDeck: If both Jake's and Lid's scenarios in "Side Stories" (which are the same event, told from their respective point-of-view) are played, it's revealed that Aileen is this for them both - it's revealed that she gets Lid to reveal what kind of man she wants (and that she knows Jake well enough to know what kind of woman he actually wants, versus what he just wants to flirt with), and she picks their outfits for their Nameless Gunner and Heavenly Technician variants to cater to the other's turn-ons.
* TheUnseen: She's actually referenced occasionally in the plot, and even ''briefly'' appears during the "Empire of Light & Dark" side story event, but she's not actually seen during the main plot itself (outside of one brief unnamed appearance near the end of the first season) and if you missed that event, you won't see her outside of battle until Lid and Jake's Side Stories, or her Character Quest in Kolobos Island.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Because she refused Sozhe's request, he became frustrated, kept looking for someone to head up his Military Sciences division, [[FromBadToWorse and that gave Lazarov the "in" he needed]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has pink hair.

!Helena
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helena_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

An adventurer and explorer following in the footsteps of Montana, a famous adventurer in the world of Lapis, who is trying to find out the origins of the underground passages of Gronoa. She's a focal point of the present-day portion of the "A Promise Beyond Time" side event, and although not stated, is an NPC in the Realm of the Dragon King.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Her LimitBreak - she starts rummaging through her rucksack for something, not paying attention to the fact that [[ShoutOut a crystal skull]] tossed out of the bag has started hovering and firing lasers at all her foes.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Her role in "A Promise Beyond Time" is almost an inversion of how the trope usually plays out - she's an adventurer (it's even listed as her class) that seems more interested in archaeology than adventures.
* TheBusCameBack: She eventually makes a brief reappearance during the last phase of "A World United," making small talk with Camille while helping out (this also confirms that the vision that appears to be her in the BrutalBonusLevel of Season 1 is not her ghost).
* CallBack: Similar to Ilias, she makes multiple references to Montana, an adventurer from the world's past that has been in the friend point summon pool since the game's earliest days. Her design is a deliberate updating of his, down to wearing very similar styles and colors.
** Directly calls back to the "A Promise Beyond Time" event in her cameo, outright telling the party about Camille. Even though unlocking the island requires meeting her in the story.
* CaptainErsatz: An adventurer who specializes in whips and guns and tries to dig up information on the past. She's a setting-appropriate GenderFlipped Franchise/IndianaJones.
* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the focal point of the present-day section of "A Promise Beyond Time," trying to dig up information about the creation of the tunnels under Gronoa as well as the elven ruins found there. The chapter doesn't directly reference any of Rain's party at all.
* DualWield: A limited version - she can equip two weapons as long as the two are whips, guns, daggers, or throwing weapons.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: At the end of "A Promise Beyond Time," she affirms that she's going to explore even further to find out more about the past, though details of those journeys are not yet available.
* LocationThemeNaming: To connect her to her inspiration (Montana, who combines this with ShoutOutThemeNaming), she's named [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena,_Montana after the capital]] of the state that said inspiration is named after.
* MasterOfNone: Helena has a fairly wide variety of skills and passives, innate DualWield, and even has some {{Mana}} restoration. The problem is that she's not particularly powerful, her DualWield is limited to weapon types that are either subpar (whips, daggers), mostly useless outside of Trust Master rewards (throwing weapons), or used more capably by other units of the same rarity of summon (guns), and her skills distinctly lag behind what others of her rarity can do. With enough time and/or luck, she's going to be overshadowed in pretty much every role by specialist units. That said, her Trust Master reward is extremely useful to most units, as it grants {{Mana}} regeneration in addition to a couple other effects.
* ShoutOut: Much like her inspiration, she's a giant reference to Franchise/IndianaJones. Her Trust Master reward is even [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull a crystal skull]], which also gets pulled out during her LimitBreak.
* ToBeAMaster: Her goal is to become a world-class explorer like her inspiration. [[spoiler: By the end of "A Promise Beyond Time," she manages to go beyond what Montana found and make some new discoveries.]]

!Ayaka
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayaka_0.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see her as she appears in ''War of the Visions'']]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayaka_7.png[[/labelnote]]]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Talented White Mage'']]
-> ''"I have confidence in my White Magic. Please make use of my talents."''

-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaedeHondo (Japanese), Christie Cate (English) [''[[VideoGame/WarOfTheVisionsFinalFantasyBraveExvius War of the Visions]]'']
A white mage who became one of Sakura's students in the present day in the Town of Sian. A very talented White Mage with high disposition and a taste for candies. Whenever she sees her master, she gives her delicious candies. This causes Sakura to fear her as this act makes the sage to [[OlderThanTheyLook look like a child]].

* BarrierWarrior: Her seven-star form is a variant of one - she has three abilities that can create a 2000-hit point barrier that must be broken before the party will take any further damage (each has a different effect beyond the barrier's creation). This barrier won't stack with other hit point barriers, but it does stack with damage mitigation barriers (such as the one from Wilhelm's LimitBreak).
** The Japanese version of the Sakura & Ayaka Valentine unit takes this up to eleven, distributing HP barriers like crazy while healing and ''giving resistances'' to the party, even giving damage mitigation in their only Cooldown skill. In fact, the Japanese version of this unit was finally the one to take [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Warrior of Light Lenna]] out of the healer throne after years of being the undisputed champion of the class.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Ayaka has long blonde hair and is shown to be kind and caring towards others.
* ThroughHerStomach: The reason that Ayaka uses candy to lure out Sakura? She knows it works all too well.
* WhiteMage: If the iconic clothing color and patterns didn't tip you on that, several people in her hometown of Sian note that she's an expert healer, plus is a kind and demure presence that the whole town is fond of. As a vision, she was a top-tier healer on release, arguably the best in the game, but has zero combat potential outside of her basic attack. She eventually got supplanted by more powerful healer units like Lotus Mage Fina, especially because Ayaka is unable to doublecast her skills like Fina eventually would become able to with her Latent Ability.

!Ohga
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ohga.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A young Samurai from the town of Sian whose family descends from the very founders of Pharm. He meets Rain during his research on the past of Pharm, which gets him interested in politics and the analysis of conflicts.

* LostInTranslation: Thanks to Gumi's ScheduleSlip, Kaede's Character Quest, which involves Ohga meeting Rain's party, didn't make it to Global. He still appears in the "Way of the Warrior" and "A World United" Story Events, though.

!Yuri
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuri_62.jpg]]

Ohga's BestFriend and a massive {{slacker}} who hates training, often getting scolded by Sakura for this. Despite that, she's still a capable fighter.

* BadassFamily: Yuri is the descendant of Kaede and Hayate, meaning she's also descended from Jiraiya and Chizuru, as well as the great-great- ''etc.'' grandniece of Miyuki, and all of them are either six- or seven-star max characters. In fact, Yuri has the most familial relations that are also visions in the game.
* TheSlacker: Yuri ''hates'' work and training and will do everything in her power to avoid it.

!Roy
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roy_0.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A traveling bard in search of inspiration for his songs, who has taken into Loren's feats (which he witnessed) during an event years before the game's story, which inspired him into a song that became a hit and made him widely known in Lapis. Upon meeting Rain and Lasswell in Olderion in the present, he's reminded of the events, and feels inspired to compose a new song based on Rain's own party.

* MistakenForThief: Well, kidnapper, but as he wasn't totally forthcoming at first as Loren was investigating who was kidnapping children, he was mistaken for the kidnapper at first. He manages to clear it up before long.
* RedHerring: Connected to the above, the story at first tries to cast suspicion on Roy, as to why this dark-clad individual is so keenly involved in the kidnapping affair (it turns out, because his younger sibling was one of the victims).

!Silvia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silvia_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A Spellblade who trained under Loren years before Rain, Lasswell and Charlotte. She left the Grandshelt Knights due to not taking well to their code of conduct, breaking out of her own as a mercenary. She meets Rain and Lasswell in Gronoa when a weapon request she has for a blacksmith goes awry.
----

!Cedona
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cedona.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A gladiator from Zoldaad who takes fun in her job and is quite the loudmouth. Accompanies Sakura in Gronoa to visit Verun when he fumbles a gear request from her.
----
* DumbMuscle: Even by her own admission, she's a very direct thinker, and not a particularly deep one at that.
* GladiatorGames: Her profession.

!Verun
A descendant of one of Ruggles' apprentices. His distaste for conflict caused him to lose passion in his job as a blacksmith, until Sakura and Cedona appeared and forced him to face his fears.
----
* ActualPacifist: Due to Ruggles' teachings passed among the generations, Verun ''hates'' conflict. The idea that his weapons are used to wage war rather than protect others caused him to purposefully start slacking on his job.
* TheBlacksmith: It's his job. He's the one who made Sakura's [[NamedWeapon Roselia]] rod at the start of Season 2.
* CallBack: His hammer is very similar (possibly even meant to be the same, inherited from master to apprentice) as the one Ruggles uses (and is also Ruggles' Trust Master Reward).
* DropTheHammer: His weapon in battle.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He can be visited at his forge in Duggle Village (albeit unnamed), which first appeared months before the Season 2 event where he produced new weapons for Cedona and Sakura (also when he became PromotedToPlayable).
* HonorBeforeReason: After meeting Sakura, he only makes weapons to people with strong convictions, no matter the cost.
* UtilityPartyMember: His main role in parties is to provide buffs (including adding elemental effects) to allies.

!Roselia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roselia_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A white mage from Mysidia, and Sakura's first friend. After being bedridden by a disease, she decides to use the magic she learned to help others. Her condition and focus on her research caused people to think of her as an egoistical and recluse person even after her death, with only Sakura knowing the truth. Her death also caused Sakura herself to become a recluse for a long time.
----
* CripplingOverspecialization: Moreso than every other white mage in the game, which is stark considering just how many of them are hit by this trope. When fully buffed out, Roselia is in the running for perhaps the most capable healer, including very potent cures, the ability to heal all status ailments, and also the most affordable method available to restore {{Mana}}. She's even the first unit capable of triple-casting, in a game where double-casting is already very potent. However, outside of being able to heal (and some potency when casting Banish and/or Holy for attacking), Roselia is one of the [[SquishyWizard squishiest wizards]] around. Without someone tanking to protect her, she's going to be paste if anything so much as sneezes at her. And if the enemy isn't taking much damage from holy damage (either via resistance or just high defensive stats), there's nothing she can really do to them.
* IllGirl: Noted in her description and finally shown in "The White Sage and the Magic Cane" event, but Roselia ended up suffering from a difficult illness that left her bedridden for quite some time (and all of her appearances in the event are as such, in flashback).
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Is this to Sakura during the latter's event. She grows out of it by the end though.
* SimpleStaff: Her weapon. Her Trust Master Reward allows anyone with it to equip them.
* SquishyWizard: In a case of GameplayAndStoryIntegration, her IllGirl status shows as having rather low physical stats. With her low hit points and defense, she can be very easily taken out with just a couple blows.
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Subverted in that she really only studied the magic before deciding to help others.

[[folder:The Farplane]]

!King Mog
The ruler of the Farplane, and thus the Moogles inside of it. Wants random things from other dimensions, which he exchanges for useful equipment.
----
* ArtifactCollectionAgency: Enjoys collecting artifacts from across the world.

!Sheratan
One of the guardians of the twelve legendary weapons. This woman was a former genius strategist, and of royal blood. Her brother, the king, who feared her genius, plotted to poison her, but she wound up discovering the plot. She later raises an army of her own, killing her brother and his wife. Fearing hurting others, she eats a cursed fruit, transforms into a tree, and seals her emotions to keep her sanity. Eventually, she is sealed away as the protector of the Holy Wand.
----
* EldritchAbomination: Takes the form of a tree woman, much like Exdeath.
* HybridMonster: Is half-human, half-tree. Her fruits are embodiments of her anger and sorrow.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The cause of her insanity, however well-deserved it may be.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: The love for her brother eventually fuels this.
* YouCantFightFate: Before meeting [[spoiler: Raegen and Rain]] she was a believer in letting destiny take her where it pleased. She later decides to take things into her own hands [[spoiler:with sadly tragic results.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Paladian Allies]]

!Kunshira
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kunshira_1_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A Natura beastkin living in Gungan. She meets Lasswell's group while a dispute between tribes is going on, and joins them to deal with that issue. [[spoiler:She is actually a Shibyra who turned traitor to the tribe and had nowhere to go until King Yashka rescued her from a perilous situation. Kunshira swore UndyingLoyalty to the Natura since then.]]
----
* CatFolk: Despite generally going around on all fours, generally appearing to be a human-sized feline, and the fact that her people are generally called beastmen, she's still classified in the game as a human-type being for purposes of what affects her for extra damage.
* DualWielding: She can inherently two swords, two rods, or one of each (which, due to her passives, is the most effective build for her).
* GreenThumb: Like all Natura, she loves nature.
* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler:She swore loyalty to the Natura due to King Yashka saving her life despite her being a Shybira.]]
* LaserBlade: Projects a sword from her tail with a special magic ring in it.
* MagicKnight: As a vision, she has perhaps the widest array of hybrid attacks skills of all such characters, able to do both magic and physical damage in five different elements. Her Trust Master Reward is meant to emphasize this in whoever equips it, boosting both attack and magic if the wielder equips swords and robes.
* SpellBlade: Her class, basically, with various of her attacks working around it.
* UndyingLoyalty: She'll go to the end of the world to aid King Yashka as his top knight.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Most beastkind, Shibyra or Natura, have fur in colors that look similar to colors that would be found on animals in real life, like black or brown. Kunshira's pink fur with golden spots/underbelly stands out vividly thanks to this.

!Wadow
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wadow.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A Natura bodyguard for King Yashka. He's highly protective of the king and has a bitter rivalry with Kunshira which only mellows out once Fina and Sakura intervene.
----
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Carries some katanas and tantos on his person as a Ninja.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: On the one scene he gets in the main story when he helps Lasswell [[spoiler:rescue King Yashka from Nagi]], he keeps denying he's doing this out of friendship for Lasswell or Fina.

!Mirfas
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirfas.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

An orphan who lived in the town of Sacher, tending to the children. She met Rain collapsed in the wasteland and brought him to the town; Rain offered to help her people in return. [[spoiler:This leads to Rain discovering that he's heir to the Aldoran throne, which sparks interest in the citizens (incited by the Children of Hess, no less) to kill him. Mirfas' death, trying to defend Rain from said citizens, triggers Sacher's destruction and Rain's FaceHeelTurn.]]
----
* DoomedByCanon: Her story event came out after it was revealed that Sacher was razed and that only Rain survived it. Unfortunately for her, that was not retconned in any way.
* StepfordSmiler: Her profile says she keeps a chipper facade to the other children to keep them happy, but it's obvious she's actually depressed.

!Diezell
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diezell.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A tall woman generally avoided by Georl's populace, believing her to be some sort of monster. After she's framed with murder, she gets stuck with Maisie, a compulsive liar, and has to work her way out of the situation she was put in, [[spoiler:which eventually leads her to an encounter with Rain, now king of Aldore]].
----
* AmazonianBeauty: Look at her art and try to say she's ugly.
* {{BFS}}: Diezell carries a peculiar blade called the Split Blade. She can take the center piece of her blade to form a [[DualWield secondary sword]] she can use, and she can also combine both blades in order to charge a powerful electric uppercut on her Limit Burst.
* BodyguardingABadass: [[spoiler:Diezell gets from Nichol and Sakura the job to be Rain's bodyguard. Yes, the same Rain who took down both the first and the last Emperor of Aldore, and later would solo ''three out of five members of Chorale's band '''while weakened'''''.]]
* FaceOfAThug: Part of why the attempt to frame her worked so well is that Diezell has a rough look and a natural scowl, so people tend to assume that she's constantly looking for fights and trouble. It comes up even before the frame job, and to hear her tell of it neither was the first time.
* FrameUp: The large part of her DayInTheLimelight is her being framed for murder, and her trying to escape so as to find the real guilty party. She implies that, while the situation this time is more extreme, this isn't the first time she's been framed for a crime.
* ShockAndAwe: Diezell's electric blade says it all.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's tall enough for the people in Georl to think she's some kind of monster.
* SuperGullible: Not helping Diezell is that she's easily taken in by confidence tricksters. Her unit description says that she still to this day has a habit for falling for Maisie's lies.

!Maisie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maisie_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A girl from parts unknown, and whose true story is even more unknown, as she's a compulsive liar who will try and fool anyone to get her way. She was paid to frame Diezell and ended up being discarded by her contractor. This forces her to ally with Diezell to escape prison, but she isn't any more willing to stop lying to people if those lies mean she can get any extra advantage from it.
----
* TheAtoner: Her guilt in how often she's put Diezell in a bad spot eventually catches up to her, and she ultimately returns to help out. [[spoiler: After meeting with Rain and finally sorting things out, she does work with Diezell well.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Maisie has a soft, innocent face, which belies just how capable she is at lying... and she knows it. A good chunk of her story event involves her abusing this to screw over Diezell multiple times, even ''after'' Diezell knows what she's like. She's starting to get over it by the end of the event.
* CompulsiveLiar: It's not clear if she could stop even if she tried. About the best that can be said is that, by the end, she tries to make her lies to Diezell less damaging and owns up to them faster ([[TheGadfly if only to see Diezell's flustered reaction]]).
* ConsummateLiar: Prides herself in her ability to lie to just about anyone.
* DishingOutDirt: Maisie prides herself as a very capable Earth mage.
* MultipleChoicePast: It's not clear if Maisie even tells the truth about her past in unit descriptions and awakening quotes.

!Sister
A wandering nun known to carry a huge mace. She's known for trying to solve things with dialogue and, when the option is not possible, she clobbers her opponents down. After saving Scartio from a brutal beatdown, she enlisted him in being her bodyguard as she travels Paladia [[spoiler:now that Quadis is not alive anymore to rule it]].
----
* CarryABigStick: That mace on her back wouldn't look out of place in Delmodoa's hands, really.
* GlacierWaif: So we have this nun carrying a mace twice her size, which she tends to use when someone decides to resort to violence.

!Scartio
A former Hess slave with a brand made by Aldore in his forehead, which he covers with his bandanna. He tries to avoid trouble at all costs, but this also has led him to participate in the same Order of Aldore tournament Lasswell has took part in. When his partners discovered his Hess bearings and started delivering a vicious beatdown, he eas rescued by Sister, who offered to give him a place to stay. [[spoiler:Once Quadis is defeated by Lasswell's party]], Scartio senses that he has no purpose left, and Sister then suggests him to travel the world with her, serving as her bodyguard.
----
* BodyguardingABadass: Scartio is more than aware that Sister may be more combat-capable than he is.

[[/folder]]


[[folder:Other Villains]]
!Dr. Lazarov
A mad scientist the party first encounters in Kolobos Island. He had been gathering dead bodies to experiment on in order to create a deadly weapon for Veritas of the Dark.
----
* TheBusCameBack:
** He returns after a two-island gap in the second half of Zoldaad. He also returns in the "The Phantom Blueprint" event, which was a second-season flashback to events prior to Lid meeting with Rain and Lasswell.
** He's actually BackFromTheDead in the Charlotte story event, "A World United". [[spoiler:And apparently Charlotte sends him back to the dead.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Revealed near the end of "The Phantom Blueprint" to have formerly worked with Heltich in researching power that can overwhelm and destroy minds. However, Heltich directed his research towards trying to help people cope with and manage such power, while Lazarov researched towards using it for his own ends.
* ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler:His main motivation for experimenting with the dead.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's only with the Sworn Six to further his research, and he's more than willing to ditch them if it suits his purposes.
* {{Jerkass}}: The fact that he kills Rain's airship crew for experimentation is pretty evil, but the fact that he drags their corpses across an archipelago just to use those corpses as zombies to attack Rain shows a level of pettiness that's hard to ignore.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Similar to the above, the Sworn Six only tolerated Lazarov as long as he didn't get in their way. When his actions nearly caused the destruction of the Invincible, Heavens jumps in and kills him to prevent his escape after Rain catches up with him.]]
* MadScientist: He's got enough brains to basically invent multiple new types of monster, and he's making progress in his search for immortality. Morality, though, is completely alien to him.
* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:He is the main reason that the Zoldaad Empire is the way it currently is, and why the Invincible took flight.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name has been spelled in 3 different ways. First, as "Lasorov", a second time as "Lazorov", and the current spelling of "Lazarov".
* UnexplainedRecovery: Charlotte notes when he appears in "A World United" that it was reported that he was killed. He confirms this, but says he's back without explaining as to how (though his research into bioaugmentation and the undead are possible explanations).

!Emperor Sozhe
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sozhe_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

The current emperor of Zoldaad, who seeks a strong militaristic expansion and curbs opposition with violent repression. [[spoiler:It's revealed that this attitude is caused by Lazarov's brainwashing, which exacerbates the worst traits of his victims.]]
----
* BadassFamily: He's a very strong and resilient ruler, and his two sons (Shera and [[spoiler: Jake]]) are possible useful recruits as well.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Is being mind controlled by Lazarov.]]
* DyingAsYourself: When he is killed, he gets some last words with his son in hopes of making the kingdom better than he could.
* TheEmperor: The supreme political and military leader of Zoldaad at the beginning of the story, which is said to be among the most powerful and aggressive nations in the world all the way back in Grandshelt.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In his last moments, he admits that his lust for power was his desire to do well for his country at its heart, but he lost sight of that somewhere along the way.
* PlayingWithFire: As a vision, he can use fire magic, can add fire elemental damage to his attacks, can lower fire resistance in his foes, and can boost fire resistance for the party. In addition, one of the effects of his Trust Master reward is to boost fire resistance.
* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Was mostly killed and controlled by Dr. Lazarov for the man's experiments. He does return to his senses after he is defeated however.]]
* PlayingWithFire: As suitable for the ruler of the nation hosting the Fire Crystal, he has several moves that do Fire damage and can drop enemy Fire resistance.
* PunnyName: Possibly not even ''intended'', but it's there. He's always called Emperor in-game, but another word for Emperor is "Kaiser". Which would make him, y'know, [[Film/TheUsualSuspects Kaiser Sozhe]].
* StoneWall: While a bit more capable of dishing out damage than other Stone Walls in the game, Sozhe is at his best tanking hits for everyone.

!Chaotic Darkness
[[spoiler: The embodiment of humanity's evil. It is summoned as a vision by Sol via the Land of the Crystals, and desires the destruction of both Lapis and Paladia.]]
----
* DarkIsEvil: This is the element it takes.
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: It is humanity's natural evil, so of course it would look like this.]]
* HybridMonster: [[spoiler: Its true form has elements of no less than eight other monsters from the game.]]
* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler: "Hate ... Hate ... Hate ... Die ... Die ... Die ... Destroy ... Destroy ... Destroy"]]
* TheBattleDidntCount: [[spoiler:It just changes shape from a giant skull with hands to [[HybridMonster an amalgamation of various monsters]] when it is first defeated.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Any mention of it basically spoils the ending to Season 1 of the game's story.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Original Summons]]
In addition to the characters above and all of the crossover characters, there are a large number of playable characters, summonable as Visions, who are completely unique to the setting of ''Brave Exvius'', and are detailed below. While there are many directly story-relevant characters who can be summoned as well, tropes for them should go in their entries above.

!Tropes associated with all of them:
----
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Some of the summons are characters that Rain's party will encounter, like Luka, Charlotte and [[spoiler: Dark Fina]].
* OriginalGeneration: They are the original characters of ''Brave Exvius''.
* PosthumousCharacter: Most of them are heroes/villains in the history of the world of ''Brave Exvius''. [[spoiler:A decent number of the later ones are still alive, though.]]
* RegionalBonus: As noted on the main page, some of these folks are exclusive to the Global version. Some of them even seem to have event or story hooks.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]] - some of the original summons that are also part of the story do explicitly mention certain plotline details (including the deaths of the characters in question [[spoiler: Elle in particular is a bad offender]]), but some [[spoiler: such as Shera]] avoid revealing major plot points.

!Artemios
A self-trained archer whose skill at hunting led others to hiring him as a hitman. And he became exceptionally good at it.
----
* ColdSniper: As he was hired for more and more jobs, he became more jaded and emotionally distant.
* GlassCannon: He can dish out plenty of damage (in fact, when the game first launched, he was in the running for most powerful non-magic user), but he has almost no durability.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Whichever nameless person who had the bright idea to start hiring Artemios for assassination jobs wanted to see if he'd be just as good at hunting people as he was hunting animals. Not only was he just as good, but he grew to like it way too much.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: At first, taking assassination jobs was just for money, but he soon grew to love killing people and started doing it for fun.
* SerialKiller: By the end, Artemios was just hunting people for sport.
* SpamAttack: He was one of the first characters to get the Barrage attack, and still one of the easiest who learn it to acquire.
* SoLastSeason: Perhaps poster child for this within the game. Once upon a time, he was one of the most formidable units that could be fielded. Between having a nigh-useless [[LevelUpAtIntimacy5 Trust Master Reward]], the sheer number of units that manage to beat him in raw stats, abilities learned, and equipment worn all at once, and the fact that he was completely ignored by both ability awakening and the launch of six-star levels of power, Artemios would only have use in a new player's team if nothing better has been summoned yet.

!Medius
A gunner who creates powerful technology to combat brute force and magic, but is seen as a threat to people.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He can become 6 Star unit in the Global version despite being stuck as 5 Star in Japanese version.
* CoolGun: He uses this as his main weapon.
* CoolHat: He starts bareheaded, but he gets a sweet gold-trimmed purple tricorne upon awakening.
* CriticalHitClass: Has a passive ability that increases CriticalHit chances.
* DrawAggro: He gains the ability to Draw Attacks - but given [[GlassCannon his low hit points and defenses]], it's more of a drawback than anything else.
* DualWielding: A zig-zagged version, it seems to be the case in his sprite, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation but he can't learn it naturally]] but then played straight by awakening his Gun Master ability.
* ExperienceBooster: His Trust Master reward doubles the experience of whoever has it equipped.
* GadgeteerGenius: He creates his own weapon and is seen as a genius, [[TooPowerfulToLive but it also causes his downfall]].
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: See that note under TooPowerfulToLive? That's why he gets DrawAggro - he's a marked man by ''everyone'', even monsters, because of his discovery of guns.
* GlassCannon: His defense and HP are rather low, but he has really high attack power when equipped with a gun.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "The Phantom Blueprint" reveals that this was Medius' fate, being shot to death by someone using one of his own guns. It's even called "The Tragedy of Medius" in the game's present day.
* TooPowerfulToLive: His invention is considered way ahead of his time, so he is seen as a threat and a fugitive.

!Chizuru
An honorable Samurai who has great pride and was devoted to her master. She was the mother of Hayate and Miyuki, and the wife of Jiraiya.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that she's the mother of Hayate and Miyuki (and the wife of Jiraiya), it's only explicitly stated in the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
* BadassFamily: She's the wife of a 5-star base summon, mother of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of her children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. Further, one of her distant descendants (Yuri) is another 6-star max ninja with a decent Trust Master Reward.
* GlassCannon: Her HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6 Star Unit]], but her attack is very high.
* HerdHittingAttack: Her ultimate move is Phantom Shadow, which not only hits every foe on screen and chains, but ignores some of the targets' defense.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her main weapon. Her Trust Master award takes this UpToEleven; anyone equipped with it and a katana gets a huge boost to their attack.
* {{Samurai}}
* {{Seppuku}}: [[spoiler:Her 6* awakening reveals that after Miyuki was led astray, Chizuru decided to take her own life by committing seppuku.]] [[spoiler:Way of the Warrior story event shows Hayate to be the one who done the final blow.]]
* SpamAttack: Learns Barrage, which is her strongest attack option prior to awakening to six-star status.
* StandardStatusEffects: She can paralyze foes with Blade Bash, and she's one of the exceedingly few characters that can use Stop with Dismissal - as a bonus, she's one of the very few who can do it outside of a LimitBreak.
* TheStoic: She's very measured with everyone, even her own family. She's even able to [[spoiler: discuss not only committing {{Seppuku}}, but making her own son act as her second]] without hesitation or much emotion.
* UndyingLoyalty: She's like this to her master.



!Ruggles
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruggles_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]

A dwarf who was lost from his homeland after the sundering of Lapis. He was later rescued, dying of starvation, by Lunera. He later befriended the elven couple, and began building an underground passage for them to be able to traverse the now hostile lands of Gronoa.
----
* {{Determinator}}: Ruggles refuses to give up on anything, fighting against even nature itself in order to help out the people he cares about. [[spoiler: Even after both Lunera and Bran succumb to the miasma, he continues to build tunnels in miasma-free areas as well as tend a tree that breaks down miasma in their memory.]]
* DownerEnding: Ruggles loses two of the only people that he ever cared about, and he ended up leaving Gronoa because the memory of the two was too painful for him to dwell upon. And the other Dwarves also rejected him [[FantasticRacism for cooperating with elves]]. Urgh.
* DropTheHammer: His character model's weapon, as well as his Trust Master reward.
* DueToTheDead: While not terribly elaborate or even well made, Ruggles left a tribute - in Elvish, no less - to Bran and Lunera by the tree that he cultivated to try to help them deal with the miasma.
* TheFaceless: In a tradition that extends back to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'', the only facial features of Ruggles that can be seen are his eyes and his luxurious beard.
* IOweYouMyLife: His dedication to Lunera is due to her saving him when she found him collapsed and near death.
* TheStoic: While Ruggles does clearly react to what's going on around him, he doesn't emote very much - he's much more of one to let his actions convey his feelings. His idea of making a tribute to the people who saved him is to literally carve out large tunnels that can house multiple towns, plus nurture a tree that ends up surviving for centuries.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops into this dynamic with Bran, mostly because Lunera's last wish was for the two to get along.

!Lunera
One of the last elves in Gronoa, who finds the near-death Ruggles when out on a walk. Her husband, Bran, was the other survivor. In the present day, the ruins of her manor still stand, and serve as the site of several battles held on the orders of Veritas of the Frost, as well as the temple for the Esper Lakshmi.
----
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Bran's reactions suggest that Lunera was just a kind soul that loved to support and befriend any creature that wasn't hostile to her. We see it in action with how quickly she takes to Ruggles.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with her husband, she wields a bow and is a very potent magic-user, meaning she shoots both physical and magical projectiles at foes.
* IllGirl: She's already in the terminal stages of miasma poisoning when she first finds Ruggles. [[spoiler: She's permanently bedridden shortly thereafter, and she dies about halfway through the side arc featuring her story.]]
* LastOfTheirKind: She and Bran are the last elves on Gronoa, and it's clear that their time is nearly over. [[spoiler: She dies about halfway through her plot event.]]
* MoreDakka: As a vision, she has access to perhaps the most hits - 20 - in a single strike.

!Bran
Lunera's partner and one of the last living elves in Gronoa. He is rather vindictive of other people, especially dwarves -- which causes him to initially be at high odds with Ruggles. Once Lunera dies from the effects of Gronoa's miasma, however, he starts to develop a genuine friendship with Ruggles in her stead.
----
* CantArgueWithElves: Bran is a big elf supremacist, insistent that the elven way of life is better and that the works of other races just make things worse. He stands out because, of the five characters of elven descent who have appeared so far (himself, Lunera, Madam Edel, Amber, and Fryevia), he's the only one who acts this way.
* ElvesVersusDwarves: Due to his cultural posturing, he clashes a lot with Ruggles about which way of life is better.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In contrast with his wife, he primarily wields swords and performs melee attacks.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Among his complaints about Ruggles wasting his time was that Ruggles was trying to nurture a tree that could break down the miasma safely. In other words, that Ruggles was trying to use a bit of nature to combat the effects of a man-made disaster. He says this in his study, filled with books that were presumably made from felled trees.
* LastOfHisKind: He and Lunera are the last elves in Gronoa, and he in particular has little hope that they'll be around much longer. Sadly, he's right - truly becoming the last elf when Lunera dies halfway through their event, and himself succumbing to the miasma near the end.
* VitriolicBestBuds: He later develops this with Ruggles, partly due to Lunera's final wishes, and partly because he's finally able to come to terms with the flaws in his fatalist philosophy.
* YouCantFightFate: A strong believer that one must simply accept what nature has in store. Among other things, he resents humanity and dwarves for trying to build things to fight against the natural order, believing that it's the root cause of the miasma. Near the end, he admits that his stubbornness on this point may have contributed to his people's decline.

!Jiraiya
A ninja who served Queen Kaede in times prior to Pharm's founding. He is the father of Hayate and Miyuki, and the husband of Chizuru.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: In the Global version, while it's easy to infer (via the unit descriptions at higher-level awakenings) that he's the father of Hayate and Miyuki (and the husband of Chizuru), it's never explicitly stated anywhere outside of the limited-time Way of the Warrior story event.
* BadassFamily: He's the husband of a 4-star base, father of two others powerful enough to become summons themselves, and both of his children can max out at six stars with powerful equipment as Trust Master rewards in their own right. His distant descendant is also in the summon pool, also with a solid Trust Master Reward
* DualWield: His Trust Master Reward is a limited version, which provides a large attack buff along with the ability to use two katanas at once.
%%* Expy: He seems to be an Expy of the character of the same name from ''Anime/{{Naruto}}''.
* GlassCannon: His HP and defence are low for a [[InfinityPlusOneSword 6-Star Unit]], but his attack and magic is very high.
* HerdHittingAttack: As a ninja, he has a plethora of scrolls that can hit multiple foes along with causing status ailments.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: His main weapon, although he's outright encouraged to use Dual Wield. His version of Blade Mastery also gives 50% MAG.
* TheStoic: He doesn't emote at all, even worse in this regard than his wife Chizuru. [[spoiler: This leads to festering resentment that an enemy ninja was able to exploit in order to bring down Kaede's fiefdom.]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Jiraya is very similar in appearance to Hayate, down to having similar stances.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's like this to his master, Kaede. [[spoiler: To the point that he sacrifices himself to stop his daughter Miyuki, then under mind control, from killing Kaede.]]
