!!Mao
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/42c27466724b30af20e3f6e8142c87e2.jpg]]
Mao is the half-beast princess of the land of Bestia, with only a pair of animal-like ears and fangs to identify her true heritage, and is also the true leader of the mercenary knighthood Weiss Ritter. She left End-Earth for Earth in search of Zero and inadvertently brought Souma and Kureha back to her homeworld.

She was good friend with Xion (what he was called before he became Zero) until that day she saw the corpses of her dear friends and is seeking answers from Zero on what happened. Her soul blade, named the "Beast King Sword Lion King's Flame Dance," possesses properties of fire and is Souma's preferred blade (but not his Ultimate).

Mao eventually moves on from Zero and begins to fall in love with Souma who reprocitates her feelings. During Souma's departure, Mao tearfully wept at the thought of never seeing him again which was enough to motivate Souma into staying in End Earth and promising to never leave Mao's side.

!!Ryuuna
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3028f5d087f416079e7598733cad051b.jpg]]
A priestess of Etwarl Shrine who was also a member of the Weiss Ritter. Ryuuna is a sweet, gentle, and kind woman that won't hesitate to put her life in danger to save her friends.

The spirit of Zeroboros lived inside her body and with no other choice, Ryuuna decided to commit suicide by throwing herself into Xions's blade. Unfortunately, her sacrifice was in vain as the spirit of Zeroboros emerged from her corpse and possessed Xion, who then proceeded to kill Lazarus in a blind rage. This event left Mao shocked and confused as she stumbled upon their dead corpses, leading to her trying to seek out Xion and get her answers.

She was later revived by Zeon along with Lazarus and lives with him in another dimension until she eventually meets and befriends Souma.

Like Lazarus, Ryuuna has unconditional faith in Souma and believes in him as a friend and as a leader. Ryuuna's soul blade from her called Holy Dragon Sword Heavenly Cloud Bush (聖龍剣 アマノムラクモ Seiryūken Amanomurakumo?); it has the power to paralyze its enemies with a blinding light.

It is hinted that Ryuuna holds some feelings for Souma as she is always eager to let Souma draw her Soul Blade.

!!Lazarus
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a88be485b3a4bc676a035d3940fe7e42.jpg]]
A Dragonian tribesman who was an original member of the Weiss Ritter. Lazarus is a proud, strong, and humble knight that cares deeply about those close to him and fights on their behalf.

In the past, he (along with Ryuuna) were killed by Xion when he was possessed by the spirit of Zeroboros and their corpses were seen by Mao, kicking off the beginning of the story and Mao's quest in finding Xion and getting answers. He is later revived by Zero along with Ryuuna who lives in his sanctuary that is seperated from the End Earth and Elde.

He eventually meets and befriends Souma and sees the potential he has as a leader, swearing to protect him at all costs. Lazarus is eternally loyal to Souma and follows his orders and decisions without question.

His soul blade is an enormous single-bladed sword from him called Holy Dragon Blade Solid Outrage (聖龍刀 逆鱗金剛 Seiryūtō Gekirinkongō?).

!!Elwyn
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6a3137d3fc760df33a7632f2bc475319.jpg]]
An old friend of Zero from the Elf race, the princess of Fontina, and a member of the original Weiss Ritter. Elwynn is a laid back, cheerful, and spirited girl that is the most emotional member of the group.

Not much is known about her past except that she joined the Weiss Ritter in the hopes of ending the war. After the Weiss Ritter disbanded and Xion disappeared, she along with Mao go off in search of him and is determined to find him and had admitted that she'll resort to killing him if he misuses her powers.

After meeting Souma, she grows fond of him and doesn't hesitate to vote him as the temporary leader of the Weiss Ritter. She comically gets frustrated at Souma for not trusting her judgment and wishes he'd believe in her. Her soul blade is the Wind Thunder Sword Blitzbringer (風雷剣 ブリッツブリンガー Kazeraiken Burittsuburingā?).

It is hinted that Elwyn has hidden feelings for Souma as she showed eagerness for him to pull out her soul blade.

!!Blanc Neige
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dce9ac9847e8ba208c9d26f0eba9fc93.jpg]]
An old friend of Zero's, an Ice Sorceress, and a original member of the Weiss Reiter. Blanc Neige usually has a calm demeanor and remains level headed even during dire situations but also considers her relatiosnhips precious and loves her friends deeply. She is considered a gorgeous beauty and has a mature charm about her.

Like Elwyn, her past is shrouded in mystery and is never fully explored. She eventually joined the Weiss Reiter and fought along with her comrades to end the war. When the group disbanded, she went her on way and eventually met Souma who she didn't think highly of at first until he showed her his compassion and determination.

Her respect and admiration for Souma grows to the point of nominating him as the temporary leader of the Weiss Ritter, a notion which all of her comrades pleasantly accept. Her sould blade is the Ice Snow Sword Glass-Diamond (氷雪剣 グラスディアマンド
Hyōsetsuken Gurasu Diamando?).

Like the other girls of the group, it is hinted that Blanc Neige has some small feelings for Souma.

!!Zechti Ein
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/898aa9ff7b5b1954d4fe069a71760b16.jpg]]
One of Baelgard's four guardians, who is an artificial life-form made by Hiruda, using an ancient weapon as base. She is in fact Killrain's sister, Celestia, as Hiruda made her body as Xecty using Celestia's cells, but then she ended up getting infected by the darkness and Hiruda created a dark matter to absorb the forces of darkness, preventing her from further infection.

During a duel with Kiriya, an earthquake causes the two to fall into a cavern. Kiriya talks with Xecty and tells her the importance of hope and believing in your self, forming a close bond with her. Later, during the fight between Kiriya and Saionji, she gets in the middle and is stabbed by Saionji, sacrificing her life in order to stop the war. She explains to him that she did it in order to give hope to the world, and that Kiriya is her hope.

Her spirit then joins the wind, as a way to protect both. She is later revived by one of the pods from the Sea Dragon King Ruins, and joins the Luminous Knights. She also becomes the priestess of Astraea's Tower of the Wind. Her soul blade is called Sword of Emperors Excelion (剣帝 エクセリオン Kentei Ekuserion?). She also contains Kiriya's Holy Grail, being drawn from her Kiriya's Ultimate Soul Blade (究極心剣 Kyūkyoku Shinken?).
She decides to stay together with Saionji, Hiruda, and Jin-Crow in Baelgard, to restore the forest back to its former glory.

!!Killrain
[[quoteright:356:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/11a3c496be987cba4f297af931ebca33.jpg]]
One of Baelgard's four guardians. Originally a normal and kind elf, until he was infected by the darkness. Though he is the brother of Astraea's queen, Celestia, he kept Xecty from knowing her true origins.

He's shown to possess immense dark energy, as shown after Xecty's death, when he released said energy as a powerful blast, which covered nearly all of Liberia in an icy blizzard. His anger prompted him to blame all living souls, and after controlling the dark elven army of Baelgard, he plans to destroy everything.

Only after Souma, Kiriya, and Saionji use the combined powers of their Holy Grails, that his soul is liberated. Together with his sister Celestia, he decides to stay behind and be sealed in the other dimension.
His soul blade is called Demon Gun Sword Gallatin (魔砲剣 ガラティン Mahōken Garatin?), a giant sword able to shoot laser beams. Unlike the others, Killrain himself transforms into a giant sword, rather than having the sword drawn from within him.
