[[folder: Squad E in General]]

Part of the esteemed Ranger Battalion of the Edinburgh Army and the primary viewpoint characters of the game. Lead by Lieutenant Claude Wallace, the group gained early notoriety by enrolling and later passing the ranger course together as a unit. Since then they have gained a reputation for completing dangerous and even "impossible" missions. Their motto is "It will be done".
----
* BadassCrew: The Ranger Corp is famous for this in general and Squad E is well-known even among them.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Many of the members of Squad E are... unusual to say the least. Nevertheless, the always get the job done. They are objectively more powerful than most of the enemies they encounter.
* ChildSoldiers: Much like the Militia form the first game, there's quite a few members of Squad E who are no older than sixteen. When one considers the timeline, this means that they completed the [[TrainingFromHell Ranger Course]] when they were no older than ''[[ImprobableAge fourteen.]]''
* DysfunctionJunction: Most of them have tragic and/or complicated backstories, which is lampshaded by Stanley in his Squad Story.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: The Squad are Ranger-trained soldiers with the EA.
* {{Expy}}: They are clearly based on the real life 101st Airborne Division’s “Easy Company”. Squad E is even nicknamed “Easy Platoon” and they belong to the Federation’s 101st Edinburgh Division.
** At one point the squad is ordered to HoldTheLine against an enemy counteroffensive in the middle of winter in order to buy time for the rest of the army to regroup. They soon end up surrounded and behind enemy lines in a desperate LastStand. This is similar to the role the 101st played during the Battle of the Bulge, when they were ordered to hold the town of Bastogne and stall the German advance for as long as possible.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The main characters fit this dynamic. Claude is melancholic, Riley is choleric, Raz is sanguine, and Kai is phlegmatic.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Each of the squad members has a variation of this line [[spoiler: when picked to be Raz's partner in his suicide mission, knowing they're going to die with him.]]
* MildlyMilitary: As with the first game's units, your soldiers tend to wear accessories with their uniform that complement their personalities and make them stand out a little (a "believable lie" as described by character designer Raita).
* MultinationalTeam: Squad E is comprised of soldiers from multiple different countries, including many Gallians.
* OnlySaneMan: The groups of three friends in the Squad Stories often play out like this. One example is a trio with someone who pretends to be a Norse god, a girl who is convinced she is a harbinger of doom, and... a guy who's pretty friendly. Or a man from fantasy America ("Vinland") who cracks awful jokes more than half the time he opens his mouth, a girl who has worn an iron mask for almost her entire life, and... a woman who is caring and very strong.
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Everyone (except when Riley arrived) kept the secret that the Kai in their unit is a girl and not Kai the man. Only Claude and Raz knew that Kai left the Rangers for another reason.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:The only Ranger squad to avoid debilitating losses after Operation Northern Cross fell apart.]]
* TragicKeepsake: All of the non-officer squaddies [[spoiler:and Raz]] will leave behind an item of personal importance when they are killed in action. These items could be equipped like standard accessories and will bestow stat bonuses onto their wearers. [[spoiler:If they are revived in the post-game, nothing's stopping you from equipping said items onto their owners.]]
* TrueCompanions: For all the conflicting personalities and histories of its members, one of Squad E's greatest strengths is their ability to work together as a unit and achieve their goals.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: Partially Zig-Zagged - Each class shares the same body model/shape, but have very unique heads, all except for the main characters.

[[AC: Main Characters]]
[[folder:Claude Wallace]]
!!Claude Wallace
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ryosuke Kanemoto (Japanese), Creator/MaxMittelman (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_claude_wallace.png]]

The commanding officer of Squad E. He commands a battle tank, the Hafen, in combat.
----
* TheAce: Claude excels at virtually everything and graduated from the academy with top honors; Minerva, one of his biggest rivals, admits it herself when she calls him "the Ace of the Armored Ranger Battalion." His exploits as a commander have gained him even further recognition, eventually earning him a promotion as Captain of his division and [[spoiler: placed in charge of leading Operation "Cygnus"]].
* AccidentalPervert: When Riley comments on the commotion between Raz and Kai, Claude comes out from underneath the Hafen to witness it... and accidentally looks up Riley's skirt. Though he didn't mean to, she nevertheless stomps him on the face in retaliation.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Starts the game as a Lieutenant but gets promoted to Captain after [[spoiler: leading his squad over the mountains and meeting with the Cygnus fleet.]]
* BornWinner: From Minerva's perspective, which infuriates her to no end because he's consistently scored higher marks and has earned greater distinction, despite all her efforts to [[CantCatchUp even try]] competing with him.
* CantDropTheHero: Unless specified at the start of a mission, if Claude is available, then he is always locked as a mandatory squad member. This means he cannot be unselected when deploying units, nor can he exchange places with another member. This holds true even in skirmishes.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The ''"Price of a Picnic"'' DLC chapter concludes with a mock combat mission against Claude and the lieutenants of Squad E. While under the AI's control, Claude can use the Rapid Deployment order to resurrect [[DeathIsCheap any and all of them at once]] for only 3 CP. Yet when he's under ''your'' control, Rapid Deployment only allows you to summon 1 reserve member at a time at a cost of 1 CP apiece. It doesn't revive fallen teammates.
* DoubleStandard: Twice during separate squad stories, Claude disciplines various teammates for insubordinate action, usually by putting them through mock combat against overwhelming odds. Yet, he gives Raz a free pass twice for the exact same offense (during the ''"Other Kai"'' interlude and again at the end of ''"Breaking the Line 3"'') and grants [[spoiler: Kai]] the same favor, [[EasilyForgiven despite betraying them.]] It would seem insubordination is only permissible so long as you're one of his friends or if the situation is already so bad that punishing you in the standard manner is no longer an option.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Literally. The only way to save Riley is by replaying the final mission of chapter 18 on Hard Mode, which unlocks the game's true ending. Otherwise, Riley dies as a result of her injuries while trying to save Angie.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Because he is occasionally viewed as a coward by his friends and allies alike, he is as such nicknamed "Scaredy-Claude". All this despite the fact that even by the time the game starts, he's certainly no coward. He's never as brave/foolish as many others in his squad though, most notably Raz.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: He certainly does, having been in love with Riley since childhood and still carrying a torch for her even as an adult.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: With no hope of escaping a sinking Centurion, Claude was prepared to accept his fate and go down with Centurion, alongside Riley, Miles, Angie, and Hafen. One of Centurion's gun deck plates, however, conveniently breaks off and stations itself on land at the last minute, which Miles immediately drives down to and gets his comrades out of harm's way, escaping their demise.]]
* HappilyMarried: Unlocking the game's true ending reveals the final part of his and Riley's personnel files, which says [[spoiler: he proposed after the war during the Starchild Festival. Riley accepted with a light nod]].
* TheLeader: He's the commanding officer of Squad E.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: It's very clear if not for his friends, Claude would've crossed the DespairEventHorizon thanks to the war. Even more so when it comes to Riley. In the game, after pulling off a particularly difficult mission, Claude admits that he could keep on fighting because he knows Riley is there for him.
* MyGreatestFailure: Stopping Riley from entering the burning Miller Company factory to save her family in their youth. This left him an EmptyShell until a fight with Raz snapped him out of it a few years before the game, and it drives him to prove to his childhood friends, especially Riley, that he has changed for the better.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: He has a habit of commenting on the wind any time he senses incoming danger.
* ReluctantHero: Thanks to his tactical genius, Claude eventually become a military hero to the crew of ''Centurion'' and the army as a whole. He is very unhappy with this, as being hero meant that the military will gives him the most difficult mission, many that are often at odds with his own sense of morality. [[spoiler:Like detonating a nuke in one of the largest cities in the world. Ouch.]]
* RequiredPartyMember: Claude is in almost every mission. If the Hafen is unavailable, Claude will fight as a scout.
* RevengeBeforeReason: He briefly throws a fit when he is informed that the Empire has announced a ceasefire, frustrated that he has lost his chance to take them down once and for all. He quickly gets out of it, however, after Riley consoles him.
* SkewedPriorities: For all his alleged brilliance, the reasoning behind some of Claude's decisions seems skewed. Such as when he "rehabilitates" Emmy, Viola, and Simon for insubordinate behavior by putting them through mock combat against the Ranger Corp., which nearly got all three of them killed. Yet, he saw no problem with [[spoiler: Kai betraying them]] and let it slide [[EasilyForgiven without any disciplinary action]] and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality no questions asked.]]
* UniqueProtagonistAsset: His "Wind Talk" ability. With it he is able to predict changes in the weather with almost perfect accuracy. This gives him the edge in many military maneuvers and is part of Squad E's success.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Riley Miller]]
!!Riley Miller
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NaoTouyama (Japanese), Creator/KayliMills (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_riley_miller.png]]

An inventor who specialises in ragnite technology, and a childhood friend of Claude's.
----
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Why she is so hellbent on saving Angie during the final parts of the story, since she is fully aware of how completing her father's research and handed it over to Vinland indirectly contributed to her suffering as Valkyria test subject.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Riley has a real talent for explosives. She just likes them ''too much''.
** Part of her ''military'' uniform ''comes'' with a short, hemmed skirt. The reason she gets away with it? Since her role in the army as an on-duty scientist is pretty much unique to her, she got to design her own uniform ''herself''. The girl really likes her skirts.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Upon realizing Claude is leading Squad E, she is not happy with this at first to the point of attempting to request a transfer to a different squad. Along with that, she considered abandoning him when the enemy has overwhelmed the base. Fortunately, she never made her retreat and stayed until he completed his mission without running away, albeit unseen. Along with that, she cancelled her request for a transfer.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: She lost her entire immediate family to a fire, which was started up by the Empire, that ignited the Miller Company.
* DefrostingIceQueen: The ice part only really lasts for one mission, but Riley is initially ''not'' happy to see Claude again due to holding him partly responsible for the deaths of her family in the Miller Company fire.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The game's default ending implies that she dies from a combination of blood loss (from being shot by Nikola) and smoke inhalation due the fire in the Centurion's engine room. You have to unlock the game's true ending in order to save her.
* GeniusDitz: Riley is very intelligent, but also occasionally ditzy. For example,[[spoiler: when she met the REAL Kai inside the ''Centurion'', she thought Kai was TheMole working on behalf of the Federation. Even Kai was amused.]] There's also the "onsen incident". Maybe being [[DumbBlonde blonde]] has something to do with it?
* HairDecorations: She's never seen without a black headband with small wings on it, perked up like little horns.
* HappilyMarried: It's said that Claude proposed to her after the war, during the Starchild Festival. Riley smiles and nods her consent.
* IChooseToStay: When Claude has proven to have changed by staying behind to detonate her explosives, Riley cancelled her request for a transfer to continue on supporting him and Squad E.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Sure she knows that Kai is actually [[spoiler:Leena]], but she isn't informed that [[spoiler:the REAL Kai left the Rangers for another reason]].
* LuminescentBlush: Exaggerated. A stark naked Riley confronts a number of Imperial soldiers who talked smack about females who are involved in war, not realising that she's wearing absolutely nothing at first. When she does see she's wearing nothing, her ''entire body'' blushes red, and she screams in embarrassment.
* ParentalSubstitute: Riley assumes this role after finding Angie inside the ''Centurion'', with a little bit of CoolBigSis mixed in. In fact [[spoiler: it was the kind treatment by Riley and to a lesser extent, all the crew of the ''Centurion'' that gives Angie the motivation and courage to re-assume her role as the ship's living battery.]]
* PercussiveMaintenance: Gives one when the Centurion's backup engine refuses to start up even after it is fixed, although it takes several tries and a final hard whack before it works. Apparently, she got this from her father since he used to do the same.
* PervertRevengeMode: Even though Claude didn't mean to look up her skirt when he stopped working on Hafen for a bit to witness the commotion between Raz and Kai, Riley nevertheless stomps on his face.
* TwirlOfLove: Claude does this to her [[spoiler:during the true ending.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:If she hadn't finished her father's research on ragnite implosion and handed it over to Vinland, the whole Vinland Valkyria project might not have happened and Kai wouldn't have defected. However it might have meant that the Federation would have lost the war, given that in the end the only thing that drove the Empire to negotiation table is the threat of Valkyria Bombs.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Given to her by André of all people when she tries to whack the Centurion's machinery with a wrench. Subverted since what she does finally ''works'' anyway.
--> '''André''': "What kinda engineer hits their own machine?"
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Due to the enemy overwhelming them, as well as seeing him partly responsible for the loss of her family, she considered leaving Claude behind for dead. [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack It's a good thing she didn't]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** She developed pyrophobia ever since an incident which took her immediate family's lives.
** In a more PlayedForLaughs case, she is apparently afraid of ghosts after mistaking Raz for one during a mess hall event.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her thigh highs go above her knees and beyond, to the point that there's no bare skin exposed between them and her skirt.

[[folder:Raz]]
!!Raz
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyaNakai (Japanese), Creator/GregChun (English)
[[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_raz.png]]

A hot-headed, foul-mouthed Darcsen who claims to be invincible due to his superior physical ability. He is one of Claude's childhood friends.
----
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove [[spoiler:He's always had a crush on Leena and he ends up confessing this way after she tells him she's been leaking the Centurion's coordinates to the Empire.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: He has this in droves with Kai. Raz clearly has a crush on Kai, and she herself has hints of reciprocating his feelings, but because of his crudeness and her own {{Tsundere}} tendencies, he typically becomes her punching bag instead. [[spoiler:Becomes UnresolvedSexualTension when he pulls a HeroicSacrifice near the end of the story.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Played completely straight, and he even gets a potential called Big Damn Hero during the mission where he saves the day. Not only does he volunteer for the suicide mission (being the most skilled shocktrooper canonically), but he basically orders Claude into ordering him to do it.
* BuxomIsBetter: Openly admitted when he, Claude, and Riley catch [[spoiler: Minerva]] in the act of trying on a string bikini. The moment Raz sees the sheer size of her boobs, he does a fist pump and shouts:
-->'''Raz''': ''(grins and fist pumps)'' "YES! So HUUUUUGEE!!"
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Averted, if the way he teases Kai is anything to go by.
* CasanovaWannabe: He's always going on about T&A during R&R. Obviously, people think he's a pervert for it.
* ClusterFBomb: Is in possession of a fairly vulgar mouth, especially when compared to other members of Squad E.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] scene were he grabs Kai's butt, it cements just how much of a boisterous [[{{Pun}} ass]] he can really be.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Doing this to Claude and igniting a fistfight between the two snapped the latter out of his childhood's guilt-ridden misery.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He spends his final moments after disabling the ragnite-powered generator with nothing but positive expressions on his face. Claude, Riley, and Kai don't receive the news of his death well at all.]]
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Goofy print ''swimming trunks'', to be exact, during the BeachEpisode. And it's an inverted case, as while everybody thinks his trunks look gaudy and tacky ("douchey" as Kai puts it), Raz himself finds the pattern to be awesome.
* HairTriggerTemper: Unless you want to get into a fistfight (especially over petty issues), setting him off is a very bad idea. Oddly he is not usually shown winning or losing, despite being easily one of the strongest members of Squad E.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He (along with one other squadmate of the player's choosing) volunteers to disable the generator powering the barriers blocking Centurion from progressing to Schwartzgrad with ragnite; he succeeds, but at the cost of his own (and his partner's) life.]]
* InformedAbility: During the ''"Other Kai"'' interlude, Raz is said to excell at CQC and is the best in their division. Yet, the player never gets to see it for themselves. The closest Raz comes to being involved in a fist fight is when Kai lays him out [[SingleStrokeBattle with one punch.]] It is best explained that fist-fighting or any form of martial arts would make programming the game mechanics a complete nightmare. This trope is partially subverted by his potential "melee skill", which effectively makes it harder for his targets to dodge when he's shooting up close.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Foul-mouthed and ill-tempered as he may be, he legitimately cares for the wellbeing of his friends and comrades alike.
* KnifeNut: Has a combat knife strapped on his web gear that has a knuckle guard built into the grip. Said knife is not usable in-game.
* LeeroyJenkins: He has no problem charging ahead by his lonesome to take out a large number of enemies at once. This habit of his proves paramount in the operation where he, along with one other squadmate of the player's choosing, volunteers to disable the generator powering the barriers blocking Centurion from progressing to Schwartzgrad with ragnite, [[spoiler:which he succeeds at, but not without costing him his own life]]. Notably, his claim of being "Invincible" has a lot to back it up - he has a trait named Invincible which makes him much tougher. He also never gets seriously hurt [[spoiler:until he loses that trait and has it replaced with the more powerful "Big Damn Hero" potential]].
* OneLastSmoke: [[spoiler:A bloodied Raz struggles to stick one final unlit cigarette into his mouth as a couple more Imperial troops confront him and gun him down.]]
* OnlyOneName: Because he's of the persecuted Darcsen people, he has no surname.
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When his Undodgeable Shot potential activates.
--->''You ain't goin' nowhere!''
* RealMenEatMeat: Upon learning Squad F had previously hoarded the supplies in the town they stopped by (which leads to the mock battle against them), Raz is especially not amused because they also hoarded the meat in the town.
--> '''Raz:''' ''*cracks knuckles*'' Hell yeah! I'll show 'em how far a man will go for meat!
* RefugeInAudacity: Played with. Raz grabbing Kai's ass and then getting slugged for it is one of the more notable examples of his audaciousness. This tendency to act before thinking is exactly what gets him in trouble.
* SergeantRock: He's the closest thing Squad E has to {{Franchise/Rambo}}.
* ScreamingWarrior
* ShipperOnDeck: To Kai's surprise, he decides to lead away Kai and Miles so that Riley and Claude can have some alone time together in Einhemt, Chapter 5.
* SirSwearsALot: Raz has got a really foul mouth.
* SmokingIsNotCool: Angie to Raz, since it'd leave an odor on the bed sheets.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kai Schulen]]
!!Kai Schulen
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese), Creator/EricaMendez (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_kai_schulen.png]]

A skilled sniper who operates as Squad E's sergeant major.
----
* BigEater: Implied. She has negative potential that will drain her HP upon experiencing hunger (or in gameplay terms, when her AP falls below half), and one of the driving forces behind the mock battle against Squad F after they bought all of the supplies in a town is because they also hoarded the bread.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Raz. Raz is shamelessly infatuated with her, and she has hints of liking him back, but he's so crude and insensitive that Kai typically ends up socking him for saying and doing things he really shouldn't instead. Not helped by her {{Tsundere}} tendencies whenever the two have a tender moment going on. [[spoiler:Becomes UnresolvedSexualTension when Raz [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself]] near the end of the story.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: Kai, a master sniper who also has no problem handling male soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. She's also no slouch in the bust department (though she's definitely not the biggest).
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the English version, Kai invokes this with one of her late-game potentials [[spoiler:in memory of Raz.]]
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She took it upon herself to look after Raz and his more... [[LeeroyJenkins Reckless]] approach to combat. She's usually also the first to call him out on his dumber statements and his perverted streak.
* ColdSniper: Being a loner is one of her potentials, and shunning her comrades actually raises her stats.
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[spoiler:After encountering Cygnus Fleet, she is more and more torn between helping her friends and the Federation winning the war and helping her brother sabotage the Cygnus Fleet to rescue the Valkyrias powering the Snow Cruisers, which is made worse when she encountered Angie. She eventually decides to side with her friends after Raz confronts her about her issue and [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove confess to her]]. She doesn't have enough willpower to kill her brother, however, until the finale when she's forced to kill him to prevent him from getting Angie.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Has her moments, especially when Raz is involved.
--> '''Kai:''' ''(upon watching Raz having'' another ''scuffle with a Navy member in Centurion's mess hall)'' Could always throw them out onto the Crystal Sea and let them have a snowball fight.
* EasilyForgiven: You'd think her friends might have some questions for her after learning [[spoiler: she's been spying on them for her brother]]. Not only does Raz let it slide (no questions asked), he tells Kai that he'll take the blame for it if the others find out. Except when Claude and Riley finally ''do'' find out about it, they say they don't care either and simply let it drop.
* FriendlySniper: Helps the team out as the squad's main sniper.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:In the final entry of her character profile, it is stated that her love for Raz is what keeps her going on living.]]
* JigglePhysics: Kai's breasts do bounce a bit in a few cutscenes, though it's only noticeable when she's not wearing her cloak.
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Her original name is Leena Schulen. She assumed her brother's name to hide the fact that he had gone AWOL from the brass. After the war, she goes into hiding with Angie and assumes a different, unspecified name.]]
* TheMole: Kai [[spoiler: is not actually Kai, but the real Kai's younger Sister, Leena Schulen. She impersonates him under his order while he assumes the identity of Forsetti, a high ranking officer in the Imperial Army. She eventually becomes disillusioned with this role and betrays him.]]
* MsFanservice: The game gives a lot of attention to her butt, despite that she dresses very conservatively. She's also got an above-average bust size compared to other females in the series (though she's nothing compared to Selvaria, Juliana, Riela, etc), which makes her a frequent object of Raz's MaleGaze.
** This almost verges into a BrickJoke as, by the end of the campaingn, even [[spoiler:Imperial Commander Klaus]] is not above remarking on her shapely derrière, much to [[spoiler:Crymaria's annoyiance.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After gunning down [[spoiler:Forseti, aka her own older brother]], she drops to her knees, unable to do anything but scream helplessly.
* NiceHat: Complete with cute wolf ears.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Usually, she's the one running herd on Raz, unless it comes to bread. Then's she more than willing to reinforce him in his crazy, which is effectively what triggers Squad E and F's mock battle. Encapsulated by this gem that she drops:
--> '''Kai:''' I don't know who bought out the entire bakery. [[Film/{{Taken}} But I will find them. And I wil kill them.]]
* PervertRevengeMode: After Raz gropes her buttocks, she punches him in the face as retaliation. This is followed up by an all-out fight between the two, which happens offscreen.
* RedBaron: She's known in the Federation and Imperial military forces as "Deadeye" for her accurate shots in the battlefield ("One Shot Killer" in Japanese).
* SiblingMurder: [[spoiler:Albeit reluctantly, she guns down her own brother to prevent him from retrieving Angie from the secret chamber housing her.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's obsessed with bread, which helps her get along pretty well with Alicia. She loves Alicia bread enough to vow to find Alicia's bakery after the war and be her first customer. Sadly enough, being hungry for bread actually reduces her health via the "hungry" potential.

[[AC: Other Squad E members]]

[[folder:Miles Arbeck]]
!!Miles Arbeck
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroshiOkamoto (Japanese), Creator/ChrisHackney (English)

One of the Squad's mechanics and tank driver for the Hafen, he knows Claude and company from their military training days (except Riley).
----

* CameraFiend: Never misses the chance to take photos of the squad whenever possible, never mind that films are hard to get by in the front line.
* CowardlyLion: Of the core Squad members, Miles is the most jittery and the one most likely to complain about the craziness of Claude's more daring plans, but he always comes through when it matters.
* DramaticIrony: Anyone who's played the first game will cringe a bit at [[spoiler: his obvious crush on Isara in the DLC]], because that character is DoomedByCanon.
* {{Keet}}: Tends to be very enthusiastic when building new equipment in the R&D room, although this is more notable in his Japanese voice.
* SempaiKouhai: He addresses Claude as "sempai" in Japanese, and his personnel file says that Claude was his senior in the military academy.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is either '''Abegg''' or '''Arbeck'''.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dan Bentley]]
!!Dan Bentley
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HisaoEgawa (Japanese), Creator/KeithSilverstein (English)
Another mechanic and driver of the Cactus. Very serious about his work ethic in maintaining the squad's vehicles.
----
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The Cactus can carry a few soldiers onto the battlefield or evacuate them.
* {{Hikkikomori}}: Has "Shut-in" potential, and he'd rather spend his time (including sleeping) inside Cactus when possible.
* MarriedToTheJob: He once had a significant other, but eventually they grew apart due to his passion towards armored vehicles. However, Dan still keeps her photo in his vehicle.
* ReluctantWarrior: Despite being a prodigy at operating tanks and being a tank enthusiast, he dislikes killing and opts to drive an armored personnel carrier, Cactus, instead. Though Cactus is equipped with a machine gun, gunning down soldiers is not Dan's primary role on the battlefield.

[[folder:Angelica Farnaby]]
!!Angelica Farnaby
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_angelica_farnaby.png]]

An amnesiac, yet cheerful and kind-hearted civilian girl who is found by Squad E in the Centurion's Forbidden Zone.
----
* CheerfulChild: She's chipper, kind-hearted, and doesn't hesitate to help others with menial tasks.
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler:Officially she's a civilian contractor, but there's not much of a distinction between a contractor and a soldier when one is serving on a warship on the front lines. The Navy claims that her service is entirely legal because she signed enlistment papers, but that glosses over the fact that she wasn't old enough to understand what she was signing, and it's doubtful that the contract mentioned that they planned on having her blow herself up at a time and place of their choosing. Also, Forseti flat out stated that if she hadn't signed the enlistment papers, the government would have just kidnapped her.]]
* TheCutie: Sweet, kind, and helpful, her presence gives a boon to the soldiers and sailors aboard ''Centurion''. [[spoiler:When it's finally revealed that she's the ship's main power source, everyone in Squad E is devastated.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:As it turns out, she's a Valkyria who is responsible for powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone, with only a very minuscule number of its senior crew members knowing of her real identity.]]
* InSeriesNickname: She's often referred to as "Angie" by the others.
* LivingBattery: [[spoiler:She's a Valkyria responsible for powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone. What's worse, is that approximately 100 other adolescent girls are suffering a similar fate.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name's Angie, short for Angelica, and she has the candor and demeanor to match. [[spoiler: It also sounds an ''awful'' lot like [[PunnyName "Engine"]], which will first clue in the player to her identity.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: Mother is dead, father is an unemployed drunk. [[spoiler:She agreed to be the Centurion's power source/self destruct mechanism in exchange for financial support for her family.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say much about Angelica's role in the game without giving away major plot developments.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Her on-screen moments with the main cast are overall short-lived, and spends the remainder of the game powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone after she regains her memories. Come the true ending, however, she's completely fine.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Implied by the final entry of her character profile that states that she hopes that wherever her father and siblings are, they will remain happy. [[spoiler:Considering that she is basically a military asset and part of the top-secret mission to blow herself up along with the Empire capital, it is likely the reason.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Karen Stuart]]
!!Karen Stewart
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaSaitou (Japanese), Creator/CassandraLee (English)

Born to an all-male household and the eldest child, Karen's medical training is proficient to treat male soldiers. She serves as Squad E's lone nurse who doubles as a medic. Karen wanted to attend medical school, but decided to join the military instead.

----
* JumpedAtTheCall: Karen enlisted with the EA when they announced a recruitment drive.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Her profile indicates she's the eldest of a large family.
* TheMedic: The squad's lone dedicated medic until boarding the ''Centurion'', when Sergio takes on some of the medical workload.
* ShootTheMedicFirst: The victim of such in Chapter 13 if she's called out to evacuate a wounded teammate. An enemy sniper has been [[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene specifically ordered to target Federation medics]] and she will get shot in the arm the moment she runs out. Karen is unusable for this mission until the sniper is found and killed.
* SkipTheAnesthetic: She'll treat battlefield wounds without any anesthetic if necessary, as noted early on when a Federation soldier asks for some and she irritably tells him there isn't any and he'll just have to "tough it out."
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Her personnel file indicates she enjoys doing needlework in her spare time. Incidentally, this also ties into her medical specialty being suturing wounds.

[[folder:Ragnarok]]
!!Ragnarok

Known as Rags, the dog becomes the Squad's mascot and team pet over time. He was a former stray dog.
----
* AGirlAndHerX: Invoked by Rags himself towards Angie. Since she is smaller than the rest of everyone else in the Centurion, Rags decided that she needs protection and sticks with her. [[spoiler:After the war, he apparently sticks with her (and Kai), who are now living in hiding.]]
* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Named for the end of the world, but carries medical supplies and wears a jaunty cap. Squad members get a morale boost if they see him in action.
* NiceHat: Wears one.
* SoleSurvivor: The final entry noted that Ragnarok used to come from a group of sled dogs those were abandoned, with him being the only one that survived.
* TeamPet: He's the medical dog and mascot to Platoon E.

----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Very protective of his younger sister.
* BirdsOfAFeather: His unlockable affinity is with Louffe, who has much the same trouble talking with people that Curtis does.
* ChickMagnet: If he survives the war he becomes very popular with the girls in his hometown for being the "former soldier."
* ChildhoodFriends: With Laurent.
* FaceOfAThug: Curtis is hardly ''ugly'', but he's large and looks intimidating, and his tendency to clam up around most people doesn't help.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a small one above his left eye.
* ShrinkingViolet: Curtis has trouble talking to anyone he doesn't already know well.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Is a very capable soldier who joined to protect the people he cares about. Too bad he can't carry on a conversation with a stranger to save his life.

* TheCynic: He's out for himself, and doesn't believe anyone would really be interested in helping him out of compassion. It's even one of his Potentials.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Aside from being discriminated against due to his Darcsen heritage, the people he cared about keep dying on him.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He lashes out particularly hard when Nico tries to strike a friendship with him, believing her to be looking down on him.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Godwin has a decidedly evil pointed goatee.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Godwin has a straight scar over one eye, giving him a dangerous appearance.
* OnlyOneName: As with all Darcsens (who are a persecuted people), he has no surname.
* RobbingTheDead: Isn't above stealing from fallen soldiers, mostly because he sells their personal effects.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Has this attitude thowards Nico.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Discussed by Rosetta and Nico in their squad story with Godwin.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He joined the war to loot corpses (mainly out of financial necessity). [[spoiler:He grows out of this with Nico and Rosetta's help.]]

!!Jester Mooney
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shunzou Miyasaka (Japanese), Creator/DCDouglas (English)

----
* TheGamblingAddict: Frequently gambles away his soldier's wages and is constantly in debt.
* MrViceGuy: In spite of his gambling and apathy towards his debts, Jester is beloved by Squad E for his heart. During his Squad Story, he volunteers to cover a wounded soldier's retreat, despite thinking that two of his squamates are trying to kill him.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Connor and Teresa, he's a totally normal person aside from his horrible gambling addiction. Gambling pales in comparison to dissecting dead soldiers and writing about such.
* OralFixation: He's never seen without a small stick in his mouth.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Invoked by his Squad Story potential being named "Reformed?"
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: While running away Form Teresa and Connor's antics, he stumbles upon a couple Federation soldiers in the middle of an Imperial ambush. Earlier that day he lost all of his monthly salary to one of these men playing cards. In spite of it, Jester doesn't esitate in telling the wounded soldiers to fall back while he gives them cover. Fortunally for all involved, Teresa and Connor also arrived on the scene and together procede to bail everyone out, with the former praising Jester quite a bit for his selflessness.

[[folder:Thomas "Odin" Kevin]]
!!Thomas "Odin" Kevin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ryohei Arai (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English)
----
* BasementDweller: Formerly. He was living with his parents until they forced him to enlist.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Unfortunate Souls," he comes to the rescue of Lily and Jimmy by shooting a shocktrooper dead while they were cornered.
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:After the war, he returns to work on his family's farm.]]
* {{Chuunibyou}}: Very prone to dramatics and insists that he has dark power in his Odin persona, which annoys Lily in their shared Squad Story.
--> '''Odin:''' ''(if chosen in Command Mode)'' ...The darkness within me!
* CowardlyLion: Despite his "god of battle" persona he's absolutely terrified by actual combat. Nevertheless when Lily and Jimmy are in danger during his Squad Story he charges in and saves them. He quite literally is screaming in fear as he snipes the soldiers about to kill Lily and Jimmy.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Insists his squad-mates call him Odin instead of Thomas.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Upon hearing Lily's reasoning on why she joins the military - namely, because she wants to see what disasters she can wreak havoc with her status as TheJinx, he promptly drops this line:
--> '''Odin:''' ...I may be pathetic, but you're twisted, you know that?
* {{Expy}}: Thomas's "Odin" persona shares many of the same mannerisms as Owain from VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening who also reappears in VideoGame/FireEmblemFates under the pseudonym "Odin". Both characters' English voice actor is Creator/KaijiTang.
* IWorkAlone: He tries to play himself off this way at the end of "Unfortunate Souls," but Lily calls him out on it and hopes they keep working together.
* MeaningfulRename: Adopts the persona of Odin, God of Battle in an attempt to compensate for his cowardice. It doesn't work... at first. [[spoiler:At the end of the war, he renames himself "Hades, God of the Harvest."]]
* SayMyName: In "Unfortunate Souls," he shouts out Jimmy's name when it looks like he might have died.
* TwoFirstNames: Both "Thomas" and "Kevin" are common male given names. Can potentially go up to ''three'' first names if counting his nickname, as Odin is also a first name given to Scandinavian males.
* WithCatlikeTread: Lily snarks at him for screaming while being a scout.

[[folder:Rosetta Valeriano]]

!!Rosetta Valeriano
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Okamoto (Japanese)
----
* BeautyMark: A small mole under the left eye.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Given name is Rossano. They present as feminine not just out of beauty, but to encourage others not to judge others by appearances. However, they are issued men's uniforms by the Federate army.
* GenderNeutralWriting: In-game, Rosetta is never referred to with gendered pronouns. Even their time in the church is kept ambiguous, as Rosetta only mentions having been in the church and having taken up the cloth, but no mention is made of the title they held, given that most religious titles are gendered. There's even a small bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration on this - the character list in the glossary is grouped by class and gender and all the scouts listed before Rosetta are men and all the scouts listed after are women.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Much like Nico, if not quite as optimistic as her.
* NeatFreak: Hates it when things are dirty, [[spoiler:a trait parlayed into being a successful barkeeper after the war.]]
* ReluctantWarrior: Rosetta doesn't like fighting, and even prays for the people they've killed in battle.
* {{Transgender}}: They are all but outright stated to be transgender, though it is left deliberately ambiguous if they are binary or non-binary.
* StoneWall: With a high maximum HP, a defense-boosting ultimate potential, Resist Crossfire, and HP Refill, Rosetta is one of the most durable scouts in the game.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: No longer affiliated with the church, but not due to losing faith altogether.

[[folder:Teresa Leach]]
!!Teresa Leach
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yukiyo Fujii (Japanese), Tara Sands (English)
----
* CreepyGood: Gleefully suggests to Jester that he allow her to dissect him so he can quickly earn some cash off his own organs, and goes on about how as early as having been introduced to grade school frog dissections she's been fascinated with examining organs and specifically joined the military with the intent of getting to dissect people. Her Creepy Doctor potential restores her own AP for healing people, giving the implication that [[StealthHiBye she was actually already there without anybody noticing]].
* HealThyself: [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Courtesy of her fixation with anatomy and medicine,]] she has a chance of fully healing herself for free during combat.
* MadDoctor: In addition to having a potential specifically calling her a Creepy Doctor, among everything else already listed above, her Dissection Obsession potential raises her attack power whenever she can get her hands on an enemy corpse.
* {{Meganekko}}
* [[PeekAbangs Peek-A-Bangs]]
* PsychoForHire: A rather understated example, and one that fights on the side of good.
* ScareEmStraight: Threatens to dissect Jester and sell his organs to pay off his gambling debts, but eventually reveals this to be a ploy, to show him what could happen if he doesn't get his act together.

----
* BeautyMark: A small one left of her mouth.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: She doesn't ever drink, but unfortunately her nose is so sensitive the smell alone inebriates her.
* FemmeFataleSpy: She gets caught sneaking around the Centurion by Norid and Scott and immediately attempts to seduce them to keep them quiet. Being who they are, this falls completely flat but she still maintains her cover simply because they just don't care.
* {{Fetish}}: After mentioning that Scott smells of sweat, and that it's not a bad smell but rather a manly one, Norid guesses that she may have a thing for body odor. He intended it just to be a joke, but her reaction all but confirmed it for the two men. Her Drunk on Pheromones potential further reinforces the idea.
* IJustWantToBeFree: Azusa jumps at the chance to start a life free from her clan's control.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She's actually spying for a far Eastern country (implied to be an alternate Japan). Played with since she never actually betrays the team.]]
* {{Ninja}}: Downplayed [[spoiler:but she's a spy from a far Eastern nation and she mentions being trained from birth by her clan which is a common ninja trope.]]
* TheNoseKnows: She's able to find people much easier than most expect for being able to pick out their scents long before actually seeing anything. The best example of this is in the "Captainless Squad" DLC, in which she's able to track down a wayward Ragnarok only by smell in the middle of the freezing Crystal Sea, hours he had ran away.
* [[TheSneakyGuy The Sneaky Gal:]] Has several potentials related to stealth that makes her stronger and more resiliant when fighting unseen and from cover, respectively, and another one that gives her a boost during night ops.
* TokenMinority: The only Scout soldier who's from a Japan {{Expy}}.

* ApologeticAttacker: Sometimes shouts "I'm sorry!" while attacking.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: One of her potentials drops her evasion stats. Apparently she thinks she has divine protection.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Has the "Klutz" potential, which results in her sometimes misplacing her grenades. [[spoiler:Her ending, where she devotes herself to helping the victims of the war, notes that people appreciated her effort even though she wasn't the most capable.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Nico is remarkably stubborn when she decides to do something. Her attempt at helping Godwin invovled chasing him for a full day, including into an active battle.
* GenderBlenderName: "Nico" is the diminutive form of "Nicholas"
* GenkiGirl: Nico's bursting with energy most of the time. Take her line for her Early Bird Potential:
--->''Good Morning!''
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: One of the most sweet-natured and optimistic members of Squad E.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Nico was left at a convent by her parents when she was still a baby.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Nico's base accuracy is average, but she's the only non-DLC unit with the Concentration potential, which gives her the chance for perfect accuracy on an attack.
* OddFriendship:
** Forms one with the bitter, cynical Godwin during their Squad Story.
** She also has an affinity for the gloomy Lily.
* ThePollyanna
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: When her Concentration potential activates.
--->''Lord, help me focus.''
* StoneWall: Like other Scouts, her offensive output is pretty low compared to most classes. However, her Saintly Smile potential can boost her defense to the point she's more durable than a Shocktrooper.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Courtesy of being brought up by nuns.

* HairDecorations: A simple green ribbon with yellow trims.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's good natured and polite at all times.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:Turning despondent and running from camp after hearing of her husband's death, she's found by the Imperial army and accepts her own fate. However, she's rescued by Rita and Brittany and after a good talk between them she promises to survive the war because it's what her husband would have wanted. She never remarries.]]
* MotherlySidePlait: Her hairstyle of choice. Though Millennia doesn't have kids, she does have a gentle personality to pair with the hair.

----
* TheApprentice: To Vancey, who decides to take him under her wing and teach him how to be a better shot.
* BashBrothers: Zaiga claims to be fighting together with Raz at times. His Squad Story centers on getting over the fear of being too dependent on his presence, which implies that he does this to show off most of the time.
* ForWantOfANail: Yes, Zaiga, you really should have listened to Raz before he and the main leaders of Squad E went out on recon. You should have remembered to feed the rescue dog, lest he get hungry and jump ship just to raid a nearby village currently occupied by the 502nd Imperial Tank Platoon!
* HeroWorshipper: Is this in spades for Raz.
* HotBlooded: He's very passionate about his work with the Rangers, especially when a gunfight starts.
* InspirationalInsult: The way Gertrude dismisses him for both [[FantasticRacism being Darcsen]] and [[SummonBiggerFish always relying on Raz when things get though]] inspires him to show her up by becoming a better soldier.
* InterclassFriendship: What he and Geltrude eventually develop.
* NumberTwo: Raz's Right Hand Man. [[SmallNameBigEgo Or so he claims.]]
* OnlyOneName: Like all Darscen.
* RevealingCoverUp: He tries to corroborate Connor's bogus report about why the squad went missing, which only serves to fuel Raz's suspicion.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: This starts the [=DLC=] story, "A Captainless Squad." Zaiga forgot to feed Ragnarok when the main cast was out on recon. Ragnarok goes looking for food outside Centurion, which means the squad has to go look for him and make themselves almost [=AWOL=] in the process.

[[folder:Simon Bale]]
!!Simon Bale
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toshiya Chiba (Japanese)
----
* AxCrazy: Literally. Prior to joining the army he brandished an axe as a highway man.
* BoxedCrook: Was placed into the Federation military after he made the bad decision of ambushing a Federation Army vehicle. How he managed to get into the Ranger Corps and shake off the status of penal soldier is beyond conventional understanding unless one thinks of the likelihood of rangers putting themselves in more danger than all other army units combined.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: When he hears about the difficult lives of Viola and Emmy, he's so moved he starts crying.
* CallAHumanAMeatbag: An unusual example of one human doing this to another. Simon tends to refer to his enemies as "meat sacks".
* LeeroyJenkins: Simon is bloodthirsty and will charge headlong into enemy gunfire for the chance to add to his body count.
-->'''Simon''': ''(at the top of his lungs)'' "YIPPIE KA-YAY!! IT's TIME TO SPRAY AND PRAY!!"
* MoreDakka: Simon's preferred M.O.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever he's around women, his bloodthirsty personality falls off and talks to them in an awkward yet polite tone. When Crymaria shows up in "A captainless squad," Simon is shivering in utter terror.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Probably the last character one would expect this from, but his unlockable potential boosts his stat when he attacks with one of his friends.
* PreMortemOneLiner: His is the same as Emmy's except, unlike her, he sreams his at the top of his lungs:
-->"FOUND YOOUUU!!"
* TheQuincyPunk: Bloodthirsty, doesn't like authority, and has a dyed mohawk. [[spoiler:After the war, he starts a rock band called Friendly Fire.]]
* SecretCharacter: Is only recruited after the player achieves 250 kills in combat.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Simon might be on your side, but he enjoys killing people more than many of the game's villains.
* UnwittingPawn: Played for laughs. Simon and Viola both fail to realize that Emmy only teams up with them because they're both trigger-happy and [[LeeroyJenkins always charge straight at the enemy.]] Which is why Emmy says they make good meat shields[[note]]Emmy admits it to Riley at the end of the ''Mischief Makers'' squad story[[/note]].
* WouldntHitAGirl: While living as a highway man, he claims he refused to attack women. His awkward behavior seems to confirm this.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He agrees with Azusa that Norrid's NatureLover shtick gets weird.
* NiceGuy: For all his literal-mindedness, Scott is good-natured and very loyal to his friends.
* OneWordVocabulary: Nearly everything he says is some variation of either "Sir, yes sir!" or "Sir, no sir!"
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When his Undogeable Shot potential activates. It's about what one would expect from Scott.
-->''No Sir!''
* LiteralMinded: Takes everything literally and follows instructions '''exactly''' as he hears them; if told to fire on an enemy he will keep firing on them even after they're dead until told to stop. Allies need to be careful how they phrase orders around him as a result.

* MustMakeHerLaugh: A goal of his regarding Ferrier.

----
* BrutalHonesty: He likens [[spoiler: the demise of Squad F]] to pawns who got sacrificed, which greatly angers [[spoiler:Ronald Albee]] who overheard the conversation. Although Ryan acknowledges it was an insensitive thing to say and that he wouldn't have said it if he'd known [[spoiler:Ronald was there listening]], he still stands by the statement.
* ChildSoldier: He's been involved in war since his childhood, assisting his father in battles and also carrying out assassinations.
* EyepatchOfPower
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One that runs across his face and over his nose.
* LibationForTheDead: What he and Keigel really ended up doing with that bottle of his, [[spoiler:to honor the memory of their fallen comrades from Squad F. It Unfortunatley led to a misunderstanding with surviving member Ronald, but in the end they all reconcile.]]
* MyNewGiftIsLame: A group of soldier he served with in the past came together to gift him a beautiful bottle of alcohol, and wouldn't take a no for an answer. This despite Ryan [[TheTeetotaler not being a drinker]] and having [[TrademarkFavouriteFood an equally easily satisfiable habit]] in the form of sweets.
* NeverLearnedToRead: He is illiterate.
* NoSocialSkills: The fact that his whole life has been spent on the battlefield has left him with little ability to handle normal social situations.
* OlderThanTheyLook: His profile gives his age as 63, yet he looks to be in his 40s or early 50s at most.
* OldSoldier: He is easily the character with the most battle experience out of the entire cast.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: A renowned mercenary who has fought in many wars across the continent.
* SkunkStripe: His hairdo is basically ''made'' of these.
* SweetTooth: So hooked on sugar that he'll actually experience withdrawal if he goes too long without it.
* TheTeetotaler: He never drinks, yet he does own a bottle in spite of it. Nor does he smoke.

[[folder:Vancey Fioré]]
!!Vancey Fioré
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Miyuki Kawashou (Japanese)
----
* AlcoholHic: When deployed from as part of your initial force, Vancey lets out an inebriated hiccup.
* BlatantLies: When activated, Vancey may say "Stone cold sober" in a drunken slur.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She's the SoleSurvivor of a Federation Army-backed special forces operation that went bad. Her memories are so traumatic that her constant inebriation actually makes her '''more capable of combat''' than she would be if she were sober.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:If she sends off Raz and covers him during his final stand, she expresses that she's felt like she's been ready to die for a long time.]]
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Gertrude mentions about her [=SF=] experience before joining Squad E. The game doesn't mention what specific unit she used to be with.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: If you choose Vancey for the [[spoiler: suicide mission in chapter 16]], she'll leave you a photo of herself with her special Ops squadmates. Marie tells you that Vancey always carried it with her.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Vancey's time in special forces operations.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: To a ridiculous degree. Despite her shaky hand due to being constantly inebriated, ''all'' of her shots somehow manage to hit the center mark when she is training Zaiga.
* NiceGirl: She's happy to take Zaiga under her wing, and tries to get Gertrude to move past her hatred of Darcsens.
* LadyDrunk: Is constantly inebriated, even on duty.
* LetsGetDangerous: Invoked by her "Former Elite" potential. When it activates, her memories as a special Ops agent causes her to immediately sobre up and boosts all her stats.
-->'''Vancey''': ''(sobre)'' "Fine, [[PreAsskickingOneliner I'll get serious."]]
* MagikarpPower: She joins with a set of potentials that actively hinder her, including one where she occasionally wastes her turn, but complete her Squad Story and she replaces that potential with Former Elite giving her a chance to buff all of her stats. Mind you that she already has stats on par with Raz, making her one of the most accurate and hardest to hit shocktroopers in the game. She still has her other negative potentials but they activate so rarely and affect her main role so little that it's basically a non-issue. The difficulty of realizing this MagikarpPower is increased by the the fact that her Squad Story also requires Gertrude, who only joins your squad once you have at least a million ducats in reserve, meaning it will likely be one of the last Squad Stories unlocked.

* MentorsNewHope: Mentoring Zaiga helps her find some much needed solace in her own life. This translates in-game by her occasionaly sobering up and reclaiming her former expertise as a Special Forces Operator, allowing her to go ''toe-to-toe'' with fellow Shocktrooper and resident badass '''Raz'''.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Being the sole survivor of her previous team really did a number on her. She copes by drinking and keeps on fighting in spite of it.
* SurvivorGuilt: Her initial reason for drinking. She witnessed her entire previous squad die.

----
* TheBerserker: Viola loves to fight and has the potentials "[[InvokedTrope Berserker]]", giving her extra AP when her health is below half and "Aggressive", giving her boosted defense when spotted by many enemies, encouraging having her charge headlong into large numbers of enemies.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: She initially holds little respect for Claude or anyone else issuing orders. After her Squad Story, she at the very least realizes that Claude is capable and that respecting his command is probably in her best interests.
* FantasticRacism: Viola is one of the few characters in Squad E who holds prejudice against Darcsens, giving her the "Darcsen Discriminator" potential. Unlike Gertrude, she doesn't get over it.
-->'''Viola:''' I'm not racist, but...
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: She only believes in strength, whether it be her own or anyone she serves with. Anyone who doesn't meet [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass her standards]] is considered [[TheLoad deadweight.]]
* IronicEcho: Seen near the end of her squad story. Viola calls Emmy "weak" after Simon saves from an enemy sniper. Emmy starts to retort, but stops short when she sees Viola's being targeted. After capping the other sniper, Emmy casually hurls Viola's own insult back at her.
-->'''Emmy''': ''(monotone)'' "Well, well... who's the weak one ''now''?"
* TrainingFromHell: Her mother was killed by imperials, her father fully dedicated himself to avenge her -which included training Viola for combat from an early age. He got his revenge eventually but left his daughter an orphan. Viola herself now [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge closely follows in his footsteps]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: After the war, it's said that she starts a career in pro wrestling and uses "The Violator" as her ring name.

* BoyishShortHair: She keeps hers short which, along with her boyish appearance, makes her almost seem androgynous.
* DontYouDarePityMe: If anyone heals her, she tells them she didn't ask for their help.
* EmotionlessGirl: Emmy always looks and sounds as if she's bored and the fact that she's doesn't have any friends doesn't bother in the least[[note]]Her personnel file says she doesn't care[[/note]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: If she's killed in battle, her last words are that she isn't afraid to die. At most, she'll gripe that she hasn't been paid yet (said as her alternate death quote). And, if she's chosen to accompany [[spoiler: Raz for the suicide mission in chapter 16]], she's among the few to show no signs of nervousness. Instead, she muses that she never thought she'd do [[ThinkNothingOfIt "charity work".]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes:
** According to her personnel file, she's opportunistic and willing to do anything if she thinks she'll gain from it financially - even if it means betraying her allies. A fact which makes the rest of Squad E distrustful of her.
** If you check her stats screen prior to completing the "Mischief Makers" squad story, you'll see she's the only member of Squad E who ''doesn't'' have any friends.
* NotSoStoic: The only time you'll see her smile is when she scores a kill, since each one means money in the bank.
* PowerAtAPrice: Invoked as a gameplay mechanic by her Penny Pincher potential, which causes her to fire fewer shots than normal in exchange for automatic critical damage.
* PragmaticHero: She only joined the Gallian military for the pay, but has contemplated defecting to the Imperial Army if they offered a higher salary.
* PreMortemOneliner: Said [[CreepyMonotone in monotone]] whenever she approaches a victim from behind:
-->''Found you...''
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason why Emmy agrees to be deployed, regardless if it's for a mercenary contract or when she got assigned to Squad E. [[spoiler:However, in her Squad Story, it's revealed that she's doing it to provide for her mother.]]
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: One of the few soldiers in the EA to have a mercenary background alongside Ryan.
* {{Tsundere}}: Set to full "tsun", even when her allies are trying to help her.
-->'''Emmy''': (indignantly) "I-I didn't ask for your help!"
** If you use the "Command" function to have a squad mate follow you, they'll usually reply "Lead the way." or "Right behind you!". Try it with Emmy and she drones, [[SarcasticDevotee "Yeah, yeah."]]
** She's even tsundere in death. If you choose her for [[spoiler: the suicide mission in chapter 16]], she's the only one who doesn't say anything to Raz. She simply stops in her tracks [[TheComicallySerious gives him a look.]] When he asks why, she averts her eyes and tells him "Just go. Before I change my mind."

* HonorBeforeReason: She insists that the code of chivalry demands she fight with a sword, as guns are cowardly. This flies in the face of actual history, as knights, like all other soldiers of any state army, were quick to adopt firearms as primary weapons (the sword has always been a personal side-arm, to be used only when no other weapon is available).
* KnightInShiningArmor: Aspires to be one, like her father.
* ReasonBeforeHonor: After her Squad Story, she reasons that a knight fights the weapon that is appropriate for their situation, rather than steadfastly sticking to one traditional weapon. Fleuret mentions that she will commit to training with her gun, since it's appropriate for modern warfare.
* TokenMinority: Speaks in a thick French accent.

!!Ferrier Blancheur
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Mariko Koda (Japanese), Creator/KatelynGaunt (English)
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Subverted. You'd expect someone wearing a knight's helmet all the time to have a few screws loose, but she's actually quiet and pretty straight-laced. Her only weird trait is that she feels exposed if her helmet is removed, which is understandable given her circumstances.
* CoolMask: Wears one at all times. Becomes slightly less cool when you learn ''why'' she wears it.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: If she survives the war, she gains the courage to remove her mask, leaves her {{Jerkass}} father and lives happily in the countryside with her mother.
* GirlishPigtails: About the one thing you can make out of her head through the helmet.
* HeroicBastard: Is the daughter of a noble and her mistress, and is on the hero's side.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her noble father's mistress, hence why he ordered her to wear a mask for the rest of her life to conceal his infidelity.
* UnkemptBeauty: Implied. The player never actually gets to see her face, but at the end of their squad story Jean manages to break the lock on Ferrier's mask. After the mask falls to the ground, Stanley is absolutely awestruck by how beautiful she looks. That's saying something considering she's likely gone her whole life without wearing makeup or even washing her face because she was forced to wear the mask at all times ''even while bathing''.

* BornUnlucky: Things regularly break and go wrong in her presence.
* CreepyCrows: In the "Unfortunate Souls" story, she notices a flock of crows flying to the east, an ill omen she considers.
* CreepyGood: Refers to herself as cursed and delights in bad omens.
* CursedWithAwesome: She appears to revel in her bad luck; apparently she joined Squad E just to see what sort of disasters she could cause.
* DoomMagnet: Her bio mentions her terrible luck, and that misfortune could rub off on other people, thus making many distance themselves from her.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In "Unfortunate Souls," she casually talks about having woke up from a dream of Squad E being annihilated by the Imperial Army to Jimmy and Odin.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her creepy obsession with bad luck, even she is annoyed by Odin's "god of war" act.
* FortuneTeller: At the end of the war, she becomes one, though of course she only ever sees bad things for her clients.
* IcyGrayEyes: Her gray eyes are the cold and strong willed variety.
* TheJinx: She's got this trope wherever she goes as a negative Potential. She loses accuracy with her guns if people are near her and grenades have a chance to do little damage. It's also because of this that her, Jimmy and Odin end up surrounded by Imps in "Unfortunate Souls."
* NotAfraidToDie: At the end of the map in "Unfortunate Souls," Lily says she's not afraid to die since nobody will miss her, a girl who brings bad luck wherever she goes. It isn't until she meets Jimmy and Odin that she finds a reason to die fighting.
* OddFriendship: The gloomy woman is friends with [[ThePollyanna Nico.]]

* BoisterousBruiser
* CannotTalkToWomen; He's rather awkward around them, which translates in-game in a debuff when deployed around women. [[InformedAttribute Not that he shows any trouble hanging around Eileen otherwise]].
* ChildhoodFriends: With the Blackwell sibilings.
* ForGreatJustice
* {{Keet}}: He has quite the babyface, despite his otherwise HeroicBuild, along with the personality to match.
* HotBlooded: Is always upbeat and passionate with others and in his role as a soldier.

* FatalFamilyPhoto: He keeps a photo of his family on him, although whether it becomes fatal is up to the player.
* ImColdSoCold: At the end of "Unfortunate Souls" just as he, Lily and Odin get back to base, he feels this trope and collapses. Turns out he was just exhausted.
* OnlyAFleshWound: What his gunshot in the Squad Story turns out to be. It just that the moderate blood loss combined with the gunshot itself, running into and then out of battle is enough to cause him to pass out.
* PleaseWakeUp: After he passes out, Odin yells at him to open his eyes before shouting his name. He was just tired from all the action.
* {{Retirony}}: Invoked, mentions how he just needs to complete one last tour before he can go home to his wife and child.
* TeamDad: Plays the sorely-needed peacemaker between Lily and Odin, as the latter just so happens to been so chuuni to bemuse/annoy even the perpetually pessimistic Lily.
* TemptingFate: The man is such a walking collection of {{Retirony}} and RedShirt tropes that even his comrades are aware of it and are afraid to be deployed with him. One example is in "Unfortunate Souls" where he hears a rustling and thinks it's just an animal, only for it to indeed be the Imps. Lily considers him so unlucky that, combined with her bad luck, it wraps around to being very lucky.
* TogetherInDeath: Platonic version. He was about ready to die together with Lily in "Unfortunate Souls" when they're caught by a shocktrooper. It's thanks to Odin's rescue that it's subverted.

!!Gertrude Albright
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Umeka Shoji (Japanese)
----
* CharacterDevelopment: Moves past her prejudices with the help of Zaiga and Vancey and becomes much more accepting. If she survives the war she ends up becoming a civil rights activist.
* FantasticRacism: Initially looked down on all Darscen as having "inferior" characters. Fortunately she gets over it.
* HairDecorations: Wears a hair band lined with pearls, presumably as a symbol of her wealth.
* HonorBeforeReason: Believes a noble should always keep their head up in the battlefield and refuses to hide from pursuing Imperials even when outnumbered. This makes her one of a small handful of units who shouldn't take cover, as Warzone Etiquette will lower her Defense, making the cover's protection moot.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While her remarks on Zaiga's heritage have no real ground to stand on, she does have a point in calling him out on his overreliance on Raz. It ultimately pushes him into becoming a better soldier on his own merits.
* LadyOfWar: But of course.
* MightyGlacier: As if she wasn't slow enough as a Lancer, Gertrude has the lowest Dodge stat in her class, tied with Jean Matrix and Keigel Hohmann.
* NobleBigot: In spades, with her sore spot regarding her contempt for the Darcsen, at least at first. Thing is, Gertrude is not a jerk for the sake of being one, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything she's been conditioned to think like this and never questioned it, taking it as a simple, matter-of-fact truth of their world.]] The moment Zaiga shows her otherwise [[HeelFaceTurn she has no problem eating her own words, going so far as to serve as a civil rights activists after the war.]]
* NonIdleRich: She's the heiress to a wealthy aristocratic family who joined the Edinburgh Army out of a sense of ''noblesse oblige''.
* {{Ojou}}: She's the young heiress to a family of wealthy aristocrats, which (initially) instills a sense of FantasticRacism towards the Darcsens. Obligatory HimeCut and OjouRinglets are part of the package.
* OneHitKill: Her Tank Destroyer potential virtually guarantees that any non-boss tank she hits is instantly reduced to scrap metal, regardless of where her lance hits or with what weapon. This also applies to any infantry or turret she hits while under Tank Destroyer's effect, despite them not being, well, ''tanks''.
* RecurringElement: A secret character who only joins if you have at least one million ducats, like Knute from the first ''Valkyria Chronicles''.
* SecretCharacter: Is only recruited if the player has at least one million DCT in their funds.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Talks in a rather posh, measured manner; she can go toe-to-toe with Minerva in this regard.
* SpotOfTea: Gertrude ''really'' likes tea. One of her potentials (Teatime) allow her to randomly regain HP during turn, and her TragicKeepsake item is a posh tea set that boosts Defense of the user.

* BoisterousBruiser: Jean is very physically strong and she is not modest about it at all. She went undefeated in an arm wrestling competition at the field HQ and even bragged about sending some of her opponents to Karen for medical treatment. And Jean uses her bare hands to break the lock on Ferrier's mask, something most people her size can't do.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: How she met her eventual husband.
* HappilyMarried: She speaks of her husband quite fondly.
* TheLadette
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Her husband is described as "the opposite of her, quiet and physically slight".
* ShoutOut: She's a RaceLift and GenderFlip of John Matrix from ''Film/{{Commando}}'' down to her name. Even some of her quotes to Stanley in “Girl in the Iron Mask” are these.
--> Remember when I promised to kill you last, Stanley? ILied.
* TokenMinority: In the Lancer unit, Jean's the only one who comes from an African {{Expy}} background.
* TomboyishPonytail: One that is made out of [[DreadlockWarrior dreadlocks.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: She is shown to be unbeatable at Arm Wrestling, and after the war she goes on to win world championship- yet she could never best her wimpy husband. The reason? [[BruiserWithASoftCenter She was always too flustered about holding his hand.]]
* YouNeverAsked: She accidentally drops a photo of her husband at one point, which Ferrier sees and is surprised to find out she's married and wonders why Jean never revealed this. Nobody ever asked Jean about her personal life before so there was never any need to tell anyone.

* BadassesWearBandanas: Wears a camo one around his head.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Dan due to his skill as a tank driver, complete with "Dan Lover" potential.
* TheEngineer: Moreso than other soldiers in his class; owing to his fixation with tanks, he's described as possibly being the best repairman in Squad E.
* HeroWorshipper: For Dan.
* MilitaryMaverick: His Squad Story revolves around his lack of discipline, as he has recieved a number of complaints by fellow squadmates for his habit of [[TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou breaking formation in order to sneak a closer look at enemy tanks.]]
* {{Otaku}}: He's a big one for tanks. So much that his perk gives him a defensive boost just being near them, regardless if it's allied or enemy tanks. It's also because of this love of tanks during his Squad Story that he helps fix the Hafen.

* FailureKnight: What her current philosophy on supporting really stems from.
* FireForgedFriends: With Mabel and Fleuret after their shared Squad Story mission.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rebecca cares deeply about her squad mates, but her typical behavior gives just the opposite impression.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Was prone to acting like this in the past, throwing out Ragnaid for even minor scrapes, until the event described in MyGreatestFailure.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Wasting her Ragnaid in the first few minutes of a battle that lasted hours, leaving her unable to tend to more seriously injured soldiers who died as a result. It leads to her being ''much'' more stingy with Ragnaid in the present day.]]

* BigBrotherWorship: She used to idolize Curtis. Their relationship now is much more strained. But if the player completes their shared Squad Story, she gets some of it back.
* BrokenPedestal: She's lost most of her respect for her brother, and sees him as a mess. As of the end of their Squad Story though, it's starting to become RebuiltPedestal after she and Laurent realized how Curtis ultimately always keeps them grounded.

* ChivalrousPervert: He really fancies ladies and is an unabashed flirt, as seen when he adresses Neige.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Acts as one for Leonhardt.
* {{Expy}}: His physical features strongly resemble Saitama from Webcomic/OnePunchMan. Appropriate, when you consider he's from a OneHitKill class.
* FriendlySniper: Mostly towards women, but Aladdin is regardless one of the most friendly and empathetic members in the entire squad. It's partly thanks to his encouragement that Neige was able to gain self-confidence on the battlefield.
* ICallItVera: He calls his rifle Sgt. Isabella.
* TheLostLenore: Sgt. Isabella was his first love who was killed by an Imperial soldier.

* ApologeticAttacker: Sometimes says he's sorry when attacking, although he doesn't sound terribly upset about it.
* {{Asexuality}}: A mix of this and a weird variant of MarriedToTheJob. He has no interest in "mating" because overpopulation would leave less room for animals, and because mother nature is "the only lover [he] needs".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His devotion to nature can get pretty out-there at times, like the way he describes his lack of a desire to "mate".
-->'''Azusa:''' I get what you're saying, but the way you're saying it is totally weirding me out. I'm- that's not just me, right?

* BlueBlood: His parents were a real Lord and Lady, so his attitude isn't entirely unfounded.
* BornWinner: Subverted. He ''claims'' he's so skilled because he's "born this way", but he actually got the skill he has through rigorous training (mostly forced by his parents).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His superiority complex gives him a bad habit of talking down to others (including his superior officers), but he will show respect for skill and willpower as shown to Neige during their Squad Story. He's also looking for his caretakers who live in Imperial territory to make sure they're safe because they treated him with more kindness than his own parents.
* PrinceCharmless: Gives off this air, though it's mostly just an act.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He'll often slip slang like "dude" and "bitch-slap" into his dialogue when he's caught off guard, hinting that his "princely" persona is mostly just an act.

* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:With her improved confidence after the war, she pursues and eventually marries a man from her hometown after the war.]]
* RealityEnsues: She doesn't lose her "Stage Fright" potential after her Squad Story, as something like that takes a lot more than one incident to overcome. Instead she gains a new potential, "Signs of Change".
* ShrinkingViolet: Is extremely timid around people, so much so that getting sighted by multiple enemies can actually stop her movement.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: During his Squad Story he's able to accurately predict where an enemy shell will land and where it was safe to stand as a result.
* CanNotSpitItOut: Even after he realizes his crush on Aoife he still struggles to work up the nerve to tell her until the end of their Squad Story.
* GoodWithNumbers: Justified, in that he used to be a mathematics professor.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When he finally manages to confess his feelings for Aoife and learns [[spoiler: she's engaged]], he takes it relatively gracefully and wishes her the best.
* OppositesAttract: [[spoiler:Logical, reserved Jascha ends up marrying HotBlooded Hanna. He's more surprised than anybody.]]

[[folder:Connor Doherty]]
!!Connor Doherty
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Youhei Azakami (Japanese), Christian La Monte (English)
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: More interested in what makes a good story that what's a good idea. His wife actually kicked him out of the house because of his writing obsession. While Teresa was trying to scare Jester straight by chasing Jester around threatening to ''remove his organs'', Connor seemed to be playing along with Teresa. After Teresa reveals her true intention, Connor is ''disappointed'' that Teresa isn't going to forcibly remove Jester's organs.
* HenpeckedHusband: If his Squad Story and his own character profile are any indication, he is apparently this to his wife, possibly due to his questionable writing career. Nevertheless, his wife supports him in his writing.
* LeftHanging: Played for laughs. If he dies in battle, his last words are:
-->'''Conner''': ''(languidly)'' "So this is it...? No CharacterDevelopment? No closure...?" ''(dies)''
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Tells Jester "you're no protagonist, but you could make an interesting supporting character".
* RevealingCoverUp: His after-action report in "A captainless squad", which is a complete lie and an attempt to pass off the "rescue Rags mission" as a picnic with a snowball fight interrupted by a bunch of bears and a freak blizzard, caused Claude, Raz, Kai, Riley, and Minerva to challenge the implicated members of Squad E to a mock battle. Oops.
* ThatCameOutWrong: At the end of his Squad Story, he's so fascinated by Teresa's behaviour that he decides to write a compilation of ''all'' the stories of Squad E's women... and that he'll plant hidden microphones for research purposes. He immediately backpedals once it's pointed out how bad this sounds.

* BodyguardCrush: [[spoiler: She met her fiancé when she was hired as his bodyguard.]]
* [[CluelessChickMagnet Clueless Dude Magnet]]: Numerous men around the base have developed feelings for her thanks to her looks and sweet personality but she's completely unaware.
* DistractedByTheSexy: If surrounded by men, Aoife becomes frustrated and her performance degrades.
-->'''Aoife:''' [upon triggering Love Troubles] You really are handsome...
* DiscOneNuke: Aoife is hands down, the ''best'' Grenadier you'll be getting for a while, by virtue of her being the most well-balanced of the three you receive by the time the class is introduced. Almost all of her potentials are beneficial, and the one detriment she has is entirely situational, meanwhile Connor is potentially more powerful, but has two incredibly bad potentials that trigger very frequently. She is also highly accurate to boot and has an advantage during night missions, making her a popular early pick among players, and remains viable ''way'' into the late game, even after Riley has received her potential upgrade and more powerful alternatives like Jascha have joined the Squad.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: To her fiancé back home, once the war is finished.]]
* HeroicSecondWind: Her Promised Love potential allows Aoife to gain significant boosts to her combat performance and defense should her HP fall below half. It is unlocked by completing her squad story.
** Doubles as {{Determinator}}, as Promised Love steels Aoife's resolve to survive [[spoiler:and go home to her fiancé no matter what]].
--->'''Aoife:''' No matter what, I will survive!
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Of her fiancé at home, should she be [=KIA=]. It gets doubly tragic when you realize they're only ''engaged'' and not actually married yet, as her TragicKeepsake is her engagement ring.]]
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Her very nice demeanor and willingness to spend free time with the other men in the squad have led to a lot of guys assuming she may be interested in them. After witnessing firsthand how one of these conversations go, Hanna is appalled and advises her to please be more mindful of how she words her sentences to avoid any misunderstandings. [[spoiler:She apparently hasn't fully succeeded on the "mindfulness" part by the end of the game, as her final entry states that she still exudes "unintentionally seductive" that stresses her husband quite a bit.]]
* NiceGirl: Extremely kind to those around her, she has something nice to say about everyone.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name, being Irish, is pronounced "''ee-fa''" instead of "''aoi-fe''". If you've skipped her recruiting dialogue and/or haven't played her squad story yet, her name might be rather confusing to read.
* OnlyOneName: Like all Darcsen.

[[AC: Squad F]]
[[folder:Minerva Victor]]
!!Minerva Victor
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minerva_0.png]]

Commander of Squad F with the rank of Lieutenant. She was one of Claude's classmates during his time at the academy and it was there she developed a fierce rivalry towards him.
----
* AlphaBitch: She has authority over all other leaders in the division, including Squad E. The members of her own squad hold her in high regard because she expects the same standards from them that she's set for herself.
* AlwaysSecondBest: To Claude, which infuriates her. He's always beaten her at everything since their days in the academy: he consistently scored higher marks, his tactics are always superior, and he's gained far greater recognition than she has. Made moreso since all of Claude's success seems to come easily for him, whereas she has to push herself just to try to keep up.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Christel share quite a bit in common: they're both redheads who wear glasses, both take pride in Squad F, and both have personal peevs with Claude. They even have potentials that lower their accuracy and anti-personnel attack power if they're positioned anywhere near him on the field.
* BoobsOfSteel: Minerva's easily got one of the largest bust sizes among the Federation forces and she's also incredibly deadly on the battlefield. She's unkillable as a boss in Chapter 5 and while that status get slighly nerfed by the time she becomes playable, she'll still easily outclass your other scouts and be a contender for best unit in your army.
* FieryRedhead: Has red hair and is fiercely competitive, especially in regards to her rivalry with Claude.
* {{Foil}}: Series wise, she's one to Faldio Landzaat in the original game. Both are Squad leaders who were Classmates to Claude and Welkin respectively and end up having their squads wiped out with them being the sole survivors. While Faldio and Welkin have a solid friendship that lasts throughout most of the original game, Minerva makes her resentment of Claude clear, butting heads with him constantly. At the Climax of the both games, their relationships with the protagonists become flipped. Welkin's friendship with Faldio becomes strained due to the latter's act of shooting Alicia. Minerva, on the otherhand sets aside her rivalry with Claude and acknowledges him as the better commander.
* GagBoobs: It's obvious from the start that they're big, since even her uniform can't hide them. But the only way you'll get to see just ''how big'' they truly are is with the ''"Squad E, to the Beach!"'' DLC. Even Raz, who usually only has eyes for Kai, couldn't help staring or shouting his appreciation for Minerva's massive mammaries.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: She gives one to Claude before the Sea Fortress assault when he failed to raise the morale of the troop through his words, saying that his actions have always been the one to do the talking to pull his troop from the brink.
* ICallItVera: [[spoiler:After the war, she continues service in Federation military along with Ronald, and she names her new tank "Christel".]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Claude ends up being this for her, despite her enmity towards him. He's the one to talk her down from destroying Schwarzgrad after the ceasefire was declared]].
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: The loss of her squad weighs heavily on her, enough that she even passed up promotion over Claude because of it.]]
* {{Gainaxing}}: Her ample chest is rather jiggly in a lot of cutscenes. Funnily enough, her swimsuit skin ''removes'' this from some scenes.
* PragmaticHero: Though resentful of Claude's success and holding him indirectly responsible for [[spoiler: Christel's death]], she turned down the Federation's offer to promote her to Captain, because she felt Claude was better qualified to lead Operation "Cygnus".
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When her Undodgeable Shot potential activates.
--->''No dodging this shot!''
* TheResenter: Towards Claude for always outpreforming her, no matter how hard she tries to compete with him.
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:When Claude refuses to set off the bomb after the ceasefire is declared, Minerva threatens to trigger it. She then breaks down in tears when Claude reminds her of their duty and promise, which is ending the war as opposed to committing downright genocide.]]
* UnknownRival: She is ''fiercely'' competitive with Claude because he always performed better at the academy. Claude, for his part, is mostly exasperated at her attitude.
* WhatTheHellHero: She delivers a scathing one to Claude at the end of Chapter 7 for failing to show at he rendezvous point when they were supposed to. Claude decided to ambush an Imperial supply depot, unaware that [[spoiler: Squad F and the rest of the Federation Army were being wiped out]] because Squad E wasn't there to support them.

[[folder:Ronald Albee]]
!!Ronald Albee
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsukiTani (Japanese), Creator/DougErholtz (English)
[[quoteright:292:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronald_9.jpg]]

Tank commander and primary engineer of Squad F. He has a very cold professional demeanor, and is quite loyal to Minerva. He drives the Glory, a customizable Gallian light tank that was purchased for Squad F.

----
* FantasticRacism: Has the Darcsen Discriminator potential, sometimes expressing discomfort about being allied with Darcsens if there are Darcsen units nearby during gameplay. As with Viola, he doesn't get over it.
* FireForgedFriends: During his squad story, he quarrels with Ryan and Keigel under the assumption that they are being disrespectful towards the deceased members of Squad F. Minerva talks some sense into Ronald later, as she had asked those two soldiers to look out for him. During one hopeless-looking operation, Ronald finds out that Ryan is addicted to candy. To get Ryan to stop moping on the battlefield, Ronald shares some left-over chocolate. This gives Ryan the morale boost needed to shoot his way out of the incoming mob of Imperial soldiers.
* GlassCannon: Not Ronald specifically, but Glory, as it is a light tank going up against the Empire's best. Getting shot by enemy tanks is a bad idea, but enemy infantry without lances should not try to attack Glory head on or attempt to run around it, as they will easily get killed by its coaxial machine gun.
* SempaiKohai: Much like Miles to Claude, he was formerly Minerva's underclassman.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Minerva, so much that it also becomes one of his potentials.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite his stern demeanor and weathered face, his character info shows him to be only twenty years old.

[[folder:Christel Ward]]
!!Christel Ward
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaSaitou (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)

----
* ClingyJealousGirl: Her personnel file also mentions she will not allow any man to woo Minerva with a specific mention of Claude being a potential suitor despite neither him nor Minerva showing attraction to one another.
* CrushBlush: Seen almost anytime she interacts directly with her beloved, usually done with a starry-eyed gaze.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: She passes away in Minerva's arms after the assembled soldiers (minus Squad E) were ambushed at their rendezvous point by Klaus' squadron.]]
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Her feelings for Minerva are so blatantly obvious that her personnel file explicitly states that everyone knows. Though it isn't said whether that includes Minerva herself, or if she reciprocates.
* {{Fangirl}}: She all but worships the ground Minerva walks on and serves her zealously.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: When recruited as a SecretCharacter, Christel will start out already at Corporal rank. In order to unlock her squad story, though, one would still need to "feed" her the amount of CP she would need (20 in Story mode, 40 in Skirmish, 14 on Hard/EX) to go from Private to Corporal normally.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: During a mock battle with Squad E in the "A Chivalrous Heart" Fragment, she gets so exasperated by Minerva's obsession with beating Claude that she actually drops her usual sycophancy and chews out her commander on letting her rivalry blind her to everything around her.
* GoOutWithASmile: She dedicated her life to serving Minerva and gladly gave it [[spoiler: defending her. Hearing Minerva's words of appreciation and [[FalseReassurance her assurance]] that they'd held out long enough for reinforcements to arrive allowed Christel to die peacefully]].
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle on her right eye.
* LipstickLesbian: Her personnel file confirms she's in love with Minerva and often fantasizes about being together with her. She's overtly feminine, in terms of her style of dress and mannerism.
* NumberTwo: Second to command Squad F.
* SecretCharacter: [[spoiler: A bizarre example. You unlock her in the post-game by bringing her back from death, using the same mechanic to resurrect other dead characters.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Christel is hopelessly loyal to Minerva, bordering {{Cloudcuckoolander}} levels. Even after Minerva suffered a setback or made an obvious mistake, Christel somehow manages to perceive them as positive traits.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Spends a majority of the "A Chivalrous Heart" fragment reassuring Minerva that Squad F believes in her abilities, when her commander is seriously angsting over her perceived inferiority to Claude. It doesn't stick until the GetAHoldOfYourselfMan moment above, after which Minerva finally gets over it... temporarily.

[[AC: Federation Navy]]

[[folder:Roland Morgan]]
!!Roland Morgan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Michihiro Ikemizu (Japanese)
----
* TheCaptain: The level-headed and responsible Captain of the Centurion.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He once lost a ship and an entire crew to an ambush because he was briefly away from the bridge. Ever since then, he does everything on the bridge while on duty, eating & sleeping included.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He was this a long time ago!
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffers serious head wounds during Crymaria's 2nd attack on the ''Centurion'', which eventually ends up with him giving Claude command over the Cygnus Fleet. After the war said injury pretty much forced him to retire from active command.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is changed to '''Morgen''' in translation done outside of Japan/Asia.

----

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bryan Haddock]]
!!Bryan Haddock
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Takuya Kirimoto (Japanese), Ben Lepley (English)
----

* FireForgedFriends: Stated to frequently butt heads with Claude often, but eventually grows to respect him and trusts him with the ''Centurion'' command.
* LetsGetDangerous: When Imperials manage to sneak past Squad E in "Soul of the Navy," Bryan takes up his rifle and helps defend the engine room.
* NumberTwo: XO of the Centurion when Captain Morgan is not around.
* SecretCharacter: Bryan is an unlockable Scout unit. To unlock him, the player must complete the post-game Through the Fire skirmish. Doing this also unlocks Louffe, Sergio, and André as well.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroko Ushida (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)
----
* BridgeBunnies: Alongside Louffe
* CommunicationsOfficer: The ''Centurion's'' radio operator.
* TheLostLenore: The Personnel section stated that she once had a fiancé who died in war, and she wore the ring he gave her whenever she goes.
* SoProudOfYou: Basically her sentiment after the player had maxed out all of the class training paths to level 30 Paragon.
* TragicKeepsake: As noted above, the ring from her late fiancé.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Louffe]]
!!Louffe
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shino Shimoji (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)
----
* BridgeBunnies: She's the ''Centurion's'' radar operator.
* TheDreaded: The crew of the ''Centurion'' are always nervous around her because of her foul mouth. The truth is that she's not actually angry at them, but good luck trying to explain that.
* FunWithSubtitles: Her lines are so mean and vicious, that the text box sometimes includes a more polite "translation" of what she actually means in parentheses under her dialogue.
* GradeSkipper: She skipped several grades in school and entered boot camp early.
* HatesSmallTalk: She just can't say something casual without turning it into an insult or a curse.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her ''very'' abrasive exterior, she does care about her squadmates, particularly when she tries to reassure Stahlschrott that she and the others would be sad if he died.
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears A Lot]]: Easily the most foul-mouthed character in the game. She beats out ''[[HotBlooded Raz]]'', which says a lot. She thinks she probably picked it up from her drill sergeant as a defense mechanism during training.
* MeaningfulName: Her name sounds similar to ''aloof''. She means well, but talks like a delinquent.
* NoSocialSkills: Entering boot camp at such a young age has left her ill-equipped for normal social situations.
* OddFriendship: With Stahlschrott. Lampshaded by Marie at the end of their Squad Story.
* OnlyOneName: She's a Darcsen.
* SecretCharacter: Louffe can be unlocked as a playable Grenadier unit by completing the Through the Fire skirmish.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Her definition of "polite" is ''vastly'' different from average people. The simple fact is, her "insults" towards other people aren't meant to be put-downs: they're just how she addresses people normally in her head. It gets so bad that the game narrator lampshades this by providing a "translation" of what she's trying to say.

[[folder:Sergio Mousquelaire]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaya Takatsuka (Japanese)
The Naval Surgeon above Centurion.

----

* TheDreaded: Lots of crewmen, marines, and even Squad E soldiers try to escape sickbay and claim to be combat-ready. Half the time it's because Sergio scares the crap out of them. He is apparently so feared that some said ''the survival rates have improved'' because everyone is too terrified to see him.
* FriendToAllChildren: He was previously a pediatrician, and the children love him just as much as he does.
* LetsGetDangerous: When Imperial soldiers manage to get past Squad E in the story "Soul of the Navy," he takes up an anti-armor lance as a playable character.
* SecretCharacter: Sergio is an unlockable Lancer, and will join the team after the player has completed the Through the Fire skirmish.
* SkipTheAnesthetic: Stated to disdain anesthetics. Perhaps this is why nobody wants to get severely injured, since the surgery would be even more painful than the wounds.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:André Dunois]]
!!André Dunois
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShinAomori (Japanese), Creator/KirkThornton (English)

Chief Engineer of the Centurion and a veteran of three decades who served Captain Roland for a long time.
----

* CombatMedic: He is classified as an engineer when playable.
* OldSoldier: He's still qualified for combat if needed.
* SecretCharacter: Like his fellows Bryan, Louffe, and Sergio above, André is an unlockable character. He will join the crew as an Engineer after completing the Through the Fire skirmish.
* {{Tsundere}}: Although he'd rather die than admit it, he respects Riley's skills as an engineer.
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:He, along with a number of other soldiers and sailors, holds back the Imperial soldiers accompanying Forseti, who invaded the Centurion to retrieve Angie. By the time Claude, Riley, and Kai reach André, he is in a critically wounded state. By the end of the game, however, he's completely fine.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShoHayami (Japanese), Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_belgar.png]]

The pragmatic commander of X-0. He pilots the Lophius, a submarine/drill tank/micro warship/research vessel, in combat. Also has an actual submarine which is as big as a real battleship.
----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He gets killed when Nikola commits suicide by using a self-destruct trigger mechanism to blow herself up, taking him with her.]]
* BadBoss: He treats his subordinates like products and considers subordinate failures as defective products that should be disposed of. However, he is impeccably polite and never actually threatens of insults Forseti or Walz.
* BigBad: He is the main villain of the story and is responsible for some of the driving forces of the plot, some of them being [[spoiler:the Valkyria experiment and the death of Riley's parents]].
* CatchPhrase: "Recalibration", uttered by him whenever his {{Tykebomb}}s fail him. This is obviously some kind of torture based on how scared his girls are of it, and how crazy they are after it.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He plans to study a fantasy nuclear explosion... from about a hundred feet away. The description of his tank says that he built it to withstand an explosion of that magnitude, but judging from the fact that a single powered up mortar shell can destroy his tank, it is safe to say he failed.
* ForScience: Tried to set off a nuclear explosion, just outside of a large city, ''because he wanted to see what it would look like''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: For all his talks about sacrifice, he was ultimately [[spoiler:sacrificed by his own {{Tykebomb}}. Nobody felt sorry for him]].
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: He "calibrates" Nikola and Chiara to blow themselves up if they fail. So when Nikola realizes ''he'' failed, she makes sure he gets blown up with her.]]
* PiggybackingOnHitler: A rare fantasy version of the trope: Belgar cares nothing for the Empire's politics or larger goals, and is openly derisive of the Emperor. The only reason he joined them was because of their promise to give him unlimited funding and no enforcement of any ethical restraints on his experiments.
* SanitySlippage: He gets noticeably crazier with each additional piece of his supertank you destroy.
* MadScientist: He was so obsessed with his friend, [[spoiler: Albert Miller's research, that he killed him and his entire family, except for Riley. Said research would eventually give birth to the Valkyrie-powered battleships and during the final mission, he keep ranting how he will now achieve their shared dream, despite the fact that Albert himself was horrified how his research could be used to create [[WeaponOfMassDestruction WMDs.]]]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is transliterated as "Berger" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** The secret to defeating his colossal amphibious tank is to build ladders on it.
** He built his tank to be theoretically fantasy-nuke resistant without testing the weakest parts of its armor against more conventional weapons like mortar shells, anti-armor lance warheads, and plain-old rifle bullets.
* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. As noted in MadScientist entry above, [[spoiler:everything he does is done in the name of his "shared dream" with Albert Miller. He even goes on rant on how Albert "betrayed him" when he refused to continue the research upon realizing the horrible consequences that could come with it.]]
* YourAnswerToEverything: He can't go on for a minute without talking about sacrifices.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaitoIshikawa (Japanese), Creator/LucienDodge (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_forse.png]]

The strategist for X-0. He is also the real Kai Schulen, the older brother of Leena Schulen.
----
* BrokenPedestal: The members of Squad E looked up to Kai before he defected to the Empire.
* CynicismCatalyst: Learning what the Federation, as well as Vinland, are doing with descendants of Valkyrur, turned him from a loyal soldier into a traitor.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely loves his sister and Klaus reveals at the end of the game that he plans to live in quiet with her and Angie once things are done, though their relationship has become difficult due to the events of the game.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He is so obsessed with Angie's innocence and purity from conflict that he couldn't comprehend that, by the time you confront him in Centurion's reactor room, Angie was willingly powering the ship without being tricked by others unlike what happened with her original contract signing, because she wanted to save her friends.
* EvilCripple: He walks with a cane since during his escape from his defection, he had gotten clipped by a bullet.
* EvilFormerFriend: Fits this trope perfectly. Once he saw the abuse of Valkyria, he decided to become a mass murderer on the side of an obviously evil empire in order to save a handful of test subjects.
* FriendlySniper: Back in the day, he was a friendly sniper who works with Claude and the others in the army.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Left the Federation in disgust over their human weapons experiments, and ends up joining an Imperial organization for human weapons development.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Big time.
** For all his grandstanding and alleged disdain for the Federation's cruelty against the Valkyria, he's just as guilty. He treats Crymaria with utter contempt, referring to her as a weapon rather than a person and even taunts Crymaria during one of her emotional breakdowns by threatening to send her back to the laboratory if she fails him.
** At the end of chapter 16, Forseti tells Claude and Riley that he grew to hate the Federation for how they treated the Valkyria as tools, regardless of them being young girls. Yet he's no different than the Federation in how he treats Nikola and Chiara. Forseti himself gives Chiara the order to self-destruct for failing him and smirks when he sees she's afraid of dying. He also orders Nikola to stall Claude, even if it meant her own death, without a second thought.
* ThePromise: Made one with Angie sometime before the story that he will save her, which drives his actions throughout the game.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Done in response to the treatment of Valkyrur children by the Federation, leaving Leena to take his place in Squad E.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is transliterated as "Forse" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* ThatManIsDead: He discards his old name and changes it to Forseti after joining X-0 and becoming its strategist.
* TheUnfettered: He is willing to do ''anything'' in order to save the handful Valkyria test subjects of the Federation, never mind that he has to kill a lot more in the process (or engaging in the same treatment towards the Empire counterparts, for that matter).
* TheUnfought: He is never fought directly in-game, and spends his last moments at his little sister's mercy after his attempts to retrieve Angie from the ''Centurion's'' Forbidden Zone were foiled.
* VillainHasAPoint: Raz agrees with Kai's words that the Federation was twisted upon learning that the snow-cruisers' reactors had Valkyria as their cores.
* WeCanRuleTogether: He actually offers Claude to join his cause, valuing his skills in the battlefield. Considering what he pulled throughout the story though, Claude refused.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say anything about him without referring to the fact that he's also the real Kai Schulen.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He is willing do whatever it takes to save Angie and the rest of the Federation Valkyria from their fate. Unfortunately, he is also willing to sacrifice millions in the process.
* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example towards Angie. Saving her is his driving goal, but he crosses numerous moral lines for her sake, and his affection for her is unhinged and disturbing. It's equally disturbing to remember that all of this was due to his mind getting broken by the Federation's willingness to use unethical means to win a war.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiTochi (Japanese), Creator/RayChase (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_klaus_walz.png]]

The 31-year old hedonistic leader of Ausbruch, the 502nd heavy tank platoon and an independent gang of the Imperial army. He commands a tank, called the Vulcan, in combat.
----
* AceCustom: The Vulcan, a top of the line imperial tank notable for it's speed.
* BloodKnight: Thrives in combat, particularly against challenging opponents whom he calls his “soul mates.”
* BadassBaritone: Has deep voice in both versions and is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous opponents ever faced by Squad E.
%%* BattleCouple: with Crymaria
* BefriendingTheEnemy: The next time he and Crymaria encounter Squad E in Schwartzgrad (after the ceasefire), they meet in good terms, to the point that Walz has no issue with lending his tank to Claude so he can pursue Belgar, who has stolen the Centurion.
* TheCasanova:
** Is an utterly shameless flirt and when he's not fighting he's likely pursuing another romantic conquest. [[spoiler:At least he used to be, until he met Crymaria and he decided to settle down. Then again, pulling this trope on Crymaria is not a good idea...]]
** "The Two Valkyria" shows he tried to flirt with Selvaria, but she was all business and she only has eyes for Prince Maximilian.
* ColonelBadass: He's a Lieutenant Colonel.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: When Crymaria's powers spiral out of control, Walz[[spoiler:, who was thought to be taken out along with his tank,]] appears out of nowhere and embraces her to attempt to calm her down and motivate her to continue living. He succeeds.
* FatherToHisMen: Is very friendly with and cares deeply about the soldiers under his command. Learning they were in danger of retribution from the higher ups is one of his motivations for agreeing to join Belgar's X-0 unit.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Walz was prepared to pay with his life should he meet his demise at the hands of Squad E. Walz is thought to have gone down along with his tank... but he's shown to be completely fine afterwards when he appears and embraces Crymaria to prevent her powers from spiraling out of control.]]
* HeroicBastard: Son of a nobleman and a maid, he abandoned the father that scorned him for the slums and clawed his way up the ranks on his own merits.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In the "A Captainless Squad" DLC mission, as the Squad E soldiers escape their clutches, he opts not to pursue them despite having numerical and mechanized superiority, and his own soldiers' eagerness to go after them. After all, they're supposed to be on R&R and he sees no point in tiring themselves out before their next big mission.
* LightningBruiser: His tank Vulcan is not only hard-hitting and durable, but also able to move across long distance in the battlefield at high speed.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:Klaus is this to Crymaria. The former being alive is what provided the reason for the latter to continue living.]]
* MilitaryMaverick: Is willing to completely disregard orders from his superiors but is immune from any consequences so long as he gets the job done. [[spoiler: Failing to completely wipe out the Federation Forces however is enough to get him relegated to supply duty.]]
* NobleDemon: He may be an aggressive and dangerous adversary, but he bears no animosity towards Squad E. Outside of combat, he's cordial and even friendly to his Federation counterparts, and is outraged when he finds out that the Federation is using ChildSoldiers.
* OnlySaneMan: Literally: he's the only person in X-0 that isn't evil or carrying massive psychological issues.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: After he nearly gets killed by the Federate snow-cruisers, Walz is relegated to supply-escort duty. Eventually, he takes up Belgar's offer just to save his subordinates. The reassignment is rescinded once the Imperial Army reads Walz' after-action report on snow-cruiser Cavalier self-destructing. To prevent Centurion from reaching Schwarzgrad, the 502nd heavy tank platoon is restored to full combat status and sent to either capture her or (as Walz prefers) sinking her.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only one of X-0 who isn't evil in any way. Even Crymaria is still a bit hard fit considering her massive inferoirity complex making her doing questionable actions just for approval.
* VillainousFriendship: Tries to form one with Forseti, and it's even somewhat successful, getting him to confess his true feelings about his relationship with his sister.
* WorthyOpponent: Is obsessed with finding ones, dubbing them his "soulmates".

[[folder:Crymaria Levin]]
!!Crymaria Levin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Yukana}} (Japanese), Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_crymaria_levinc.png]]

The special duty captain of X-0, she is a Valkyria who is dubbed the "Winter Witch".

It should be noted that in the original Japanese version, she is specifically dubbed as 吹雪の魔女 (Fubuki no Majo), or Blizzard Witch. This is actually written in-game, in English. The term Winter Witch would have been translated from 冬の魔女 (Fuyu no Majo).
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She is the most powerful Valkyrur to-date, but felt Selvaria is better than her in all aspects. This is amplified by the DLC scenario, pitting her against Selvaria in a mock battle.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: Like Walz, she meets with Squad E on good terms when they next encounter each other in Schwartzgrad, and makes good-natured chit-chat with them.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Klaus, [[DeathGlare don't look at other women when Crymaria is around]].
* CompetitiveBalance: When her playable version is unlocked she has many caveats to keep her from breaking the game in half. It costs two points to deploy her, she doesn't carry ragnaid (so she can't heal herself in an emergency), she can't hide in grass, crouch behind sandbags, or capture bases. But she also can't be knocked down by mines or other explosives, is immune to the slow status effect, and her staff's attacks are absurdly powerful with a huge splash radius. As such, she can make for a pretty effective grenadier when used right.
* CoolPet: Fenrir, a wolf who was also a test subject. He'll even snuggle Crymaria in bed to comfort her.
* DarkMagicalGirl: She has power over ice, and has the ability to cast ice spells.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She gradually warms up to Walz overtime because he's one of the very few individuals who treats her as a person, not a tool of mass destruction.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: [[spoiler: Successfully done by Klaus to Crymaria while she was on a rampage.]]
* TheDreaded: She doesn't boast a reputation as the "Winter Witch" for no reason.
* {{Foil}}: To Selvaria in many aspects. Selvaria is a taciturn and cool-headed commander considered TheAce and has mastered her powers as a Valkyrur while Crymaria is an emotionally damaged woman who thinks little of herself and despite being the most powerful Valkyrur in the world has trouble controlling her abilities. Selvaria has the respect of her company while Crymaria is thought of as a freak and because of it suffers from crippling loneliness. Even in love they're different with Selvaria being deeply in love with Maximilian and using it as her drive to fight while Crymaria is a BrokenBird who has all but given up on finding anyone who would love her despite desperately wanting to be loved. [[spoiler:Their endings are also different with Selvaria dying by using the Final Flame on Maximilian's orders while Crymaria tries to use it out of despair at losing Klaus, but fights like mad to stop it when she realizes he's alive and gets her happy ending.]]
** Even in gameplay as DLC characters they're different with Crymaria being a long-ranged Grenadier who's very slow but outrageously strong while Selvaria is a front line Scout.
* HatesBeingAlone: Despite her demeanor, it is revealed that she longs for the company of others and wishes for someone to save her.
* HopelessBossFight: Like Selvaria in the first game, she's basically unbeatable until the final encounter with her. Before then, victory in battles where she appears is achieved by keeping Squad E away from her long enough to achieve the mission objectives (Often by having a tank serve as a decoy so she won't go after the infantry), not by taking her out.
* AnIcePerson: She's a Valkyria who has the ability to manipulate ice and cast ice spells, and enters and leaves battlefields with snowstorms.
* IAmNotAGun: Walz is the only person on the Imperial side to not see Crymaria as just a weapon.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Despite dismissing the idea of finding someone, she desperately wants affection from another after a lifetime of isolation and abuse.
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: Her name is pronounced [=CrimAIRia=], not Cry Maria.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler: Klaus is also this to Crymaria. The former being alive is what provided the reason for the latter to continue living.]]
* MightyGlacier: As a playable unit she's got low AP due to being classed as a Grenadier, but her staff gives her absurdly powerful explosives that can decimate entrenched enemies and she can just wade through interception fire like they're mosquito bites.
* MsFanservice: Between her white hair, huge breasts, and revealing outfit, she's a definite source of eyecandy.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Has devastating magical powers and a very large bust.
* NiceHat: Her furred ushanka-style cap. Her swimsuit DLC gives her a wide-brimmed one with a pointed cap obviously meant to be a stereotypical witch's hat.
* PetTheDog:
** [[spoiler: Done by Crymaria to Angie, allowing the latter to leave peacefully after Angie mentioned about people who genuinely cared for her. Up to that point, Crymaria and other Valkyrur descendants were thought of only as living weapons. Angie's treatment by her comrades was surprising, to say the least.]]
** In a literal example, in the DLC chapter "A Captainless Squad", she lets Squad E return to their ship unmolested after learning that they only ran into her unit by chance while looking for their wandering dog - and that Rags had made friends with Fenrir.
* PowerIncontinence: Crymaria's Valkyrur power is unstable and it is hinted that she doesn't have full control of it, which is not helped by her mental state. One notable example of this is after the last battle against her when [[spoiler:her staff keeps drawing her power in order to prepare for the Final Flame even though she herself no longer wants to go through it upon finding out that Klaus is alive, to the point she ''begs'' for it not to take away Klaus from her]].
* RageBreakingPoint:
** She goes berserk after [[spoiler:Walz's]] downfall at the hands of Squad E, the red blizzard that ensued from her rage overwhelming the entirety of Squad E.
** "The Two Valkyria" shows she also lost her composure when Selvaria says she's weak and always has been, making Crymaria power up and blast Selvaria with ice.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like the rest of the Valkyrur, she sports red eyes, which alone are an indication to run for your life if you cross her for any reason.
* TheUnchosenOne: Crymaria feels that she's always been like this with Selvaria being TheAce and her being considered trash. Her side of the map in "The Two Valkyria" is even the trope name.
* WitchSpecies: Noticeably absent in this game is the standard Valkyrur lance and shield (unless you purchased the DLC to enable Selvaria). As if to cement her image as the 'Winter Witch', Crymaria holds a staff instead.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: Crymaria may actually be the strongest Valkyrur in existence, albeit a very unstable one. In-game description states that her powers eclipse all other Valkyrur encountered thus far, even if Crymaria herself does not believe this to be the case.

!!Nikola Graf and Chiara Rocino
!!!'''Nikola voiced by:''' Creator/NaomiOzora (Japanese)
!!!'''Chiara voiced by:''' Yukiyo Fujii (Japanese)
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nikola_graf.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:Nikola Graf]]

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_kiara_rodino.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:Chiara Rocino]]

A pair of X-0 enforcers who serve as the bodyguards of Heinrich Belgar.
----
* BullyingADragon: Downplayed. "The Two Valkyria" shows them acting smugly to Selvaria, forgetting that she's someone who can casually atomize them until she gives them a [[RedEyesTakeWarning reason]] to back off.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: [[spoiler:Despite being shown to hate each other, Nikola calls out for Chiara as she is dying and one of her thoughts as she prepared to blow up herself and Belgar is that she will finally be able to meet Chiara again.]]
* DarkActionGirl: Both are X-0 enforcers working in the Empire's military.
* ExactWords: As part of their "calibrations", they were told by Belgar [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness "failure would not be tolerated"]]. [[spoiler:Belgar failed to exclude ''himself'' from this order, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which comes back to bite him, hard]].]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Nikola speaks with a very formal and polite tone, but at the same time boasts both a sadistic and malicious personality.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Nikola blowing up herself and Belgar isn't due to revenge, it's due to this trope, or the inverse of it: her mind pretty much snapped after her last failure and after hearing Riley wanting to protect loved ones, she kind of applies that to Belgar under twisted reasoning that since they both fail, dying means they won't be anymore, and that she'll be able to meet Chiara again.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Their personnel files say that Nikola looks down on Chiara as a simpleton, and that Chiara is disgusted by Nikola's cold malice. Both files then add "They may be more alike than either one would admit."
* OlderThanTheyLook: Nikola is 21, Chiara is 20, but you'd never know it unless you read their personnel files, because they look, sound, and act like kids. They're also short, each being no taller than Angie who's only 12.
* {{Sadist}}: Nikola gets a kick out of psychologically torturing her victims.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Nikola Graf's name is transliterated as "Nicola Gref" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* StupidEvil:
** In Chapter 9, against Forseti (and Belgar)'s orders to seize the snow cruisers, they released Crymaria who proceeded to destroy the snow cruisers with her Valkyria power and nearly destroyed the ''Centurion'' in her attempt to prove herself.
** And again in Chapter 10, where they ''again'' tried to destroy the ''Centurion'' by dropping the parabombs instead of simply killing the Federation soldiers and capture the ship afterwards. Needless to say, this results in their "recalibration" when they fail in that regard too.
* SuperSoldier: Both girls have been conditioned thanks to their time in X-0.
* TakingYouWithMe:
** [[spoiler:Chiara pushes a trigger and blows herself up per Belgar's orders after she fails to stop Squad E from entering Schwartzgrad, badly crippling the Hafen and thus Claude leaves Miles to conduct major repairs while the former pursues Forseti on the ''Centurion''.]]
** [[spoiler:A fatally wounded Nikola also blows herself up with the same self-destruct trigger Chiara used, taking not only herself out, but also Belgar and the Lophius.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The two don't like each other much. The recruitable versions from the DLC drive it home: not only do they not have any affinity, they each have a potential that lowers their stats when they're around the other.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The two are almost always seen together, and they both engage in psychological and physical torment to their adversaries.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** [[spoiler:Because Chiara failed to stop Squad E from entering Schwartzgrad, Belgar orders her to blow herself up.]]
** [[spoiler:Nikola shares a similar fate... but since she realizes Belgar failed too, she decides to take him down with her. Not out of revenge, however: see LoveMakesYouCrazy.]]

!!General Manuel

A very high-ranking Imperial officer sympathetic to the Resistance.
----
* DistressedDude: He is being held by military police and rescuing him is the subject of Chapter 13.

!!Major Burke

The main villain of Chapter 13, a cruel Imperial officer.
----
* TheGhost: Burke never appears in person, nor does he ever speak. He's giving his orders from the comfort of a tank.
* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: He orders one of his snipers to open fire on Federation medics, rendering Karen unusable for the mission until you find and eliminate said sniper.
* TooDumbToLive: His tank is parked right next to a Ragnite crate (with the tank's radiator facing the crate, a horrible idea in combat). One good shot and ''boom'' goes the dynamite along with the tank.

An anti-Empire guerrilla fighter from the Nord Republic.

* LaResistance: He's part of the Blue Rose, a resistance group made up of people within the Empire. His own homeland was conquered by Imperial forces and he's doing what he can to fight back.

[[folder:Selvaria Bles]]
!!Selvaria Bles
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CarrieKeranen (English)
* AllYourPowersCombined: Selvaria uses a Scout template and inherits their high AP count. She also has the endurance of Shocktroopers, albeit bumped UpToEleven, has an anti-tank weapon that allows her to behave like a very powerful Lancer, and said weapon's accuracy also allows her to snipe, like a Sniper, though without the ability to zoom in. Really, the only class roles she cannot fulfill are Engineer and Grenadier.
* DoomedByCanon: ''Valkyria Chronicles 4'' is set several months prior to the events of [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles VC1]], in which, Selveria ultimately sacrifices herself for Maximillion by using [[FantasticNuke the Final Flame]].
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Just like in the original, she doesn't carry Ragnaid due to her traumatic experiences as a test subject.
* GuestStarPartyMember: She becomes playable after completing the "Two Valkyria" DLC extra.
* LightningBruiser: Her playable variant is classed as a Scout so she's incredibly fast, but interception fire does ScratchDamage at best, her lance is so powerful she can take on tanks even without hitting their weak spots (and if lined up right she can hit multiple tanks!), and ''she can counter against snipers.'' She has many drawbacks such as taking two CP to use, she doesn't carry ragnaid, can't hide in grass, crouch behind sandbags, or capture bases but she's so utterly powerful it barely matters.
* PowerOfLove: Surprisingly believes in this, saying that love can make Crymaria stronger.
* StoneWall: Unlike normal Scouts which have average HP in the mid-300s, Selvaria has HP in the ''thousands''.
* WaveMotionGun: What her beam weapon amounts to. It deals stupendous amounts of damage with each shot, capable of killing even Paragon-level enemies in one hit and reducing Ultimate tanks to scrap in less than that. It also destroys cover, and can [[OneHitMultiKill pierce through and eliminating more than one target]], which is duly demonstrated by the row of tanks immediately in front of her when the player is first granted control.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She tries to assure Crymaria that she will find someone who loves her and can bring her happiness. [[spoiler:Luckily for Crymaria, Selvaria's words weren't just wishful thinking.]]

* [[Characters/ValkyriaChronicles4SquadE Squad E in General]]

Part of the esteemed Ranger Battalion of the Edinburgh Army and the primary viewpoint characters of the game. Lead by Lieutenant Claude Wallace, the group gained early notoriety by enrolling and later passing the ranger course together as a unit. Since then they have gained a reputation for completing dangerous and even "impossible" missions. Their motto is "It will be done".
----
* BadassCrew: The Ranger Corp is famous for this in general and Squad E is well-known even among them.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Many of the members of Squad E are... unusual to say the least. Nevertheless, the always get the job done. They are objectively more powerful than most of the enemies they encounter.
* ChildSoldiers: Much like the Militia form the first game, there's quite a few members of Squad E who are no older than sixteen. When one considers the timeline, this means that they completed the [[TrainingFromHell Ranger Course]] when they were no older than ''[[ImprobableAge fourteen.]]''
* DysfunctionJunction: Most of them have tragic and/or complicated backstories, which is lampshaded by Stanley in his Squad Story.
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: The Squad are Ranger-trained soldiers with the EA.
* {{Expy}}: They are clearly based on the real life 101st Airborne Division’s “Easy Company”. Squad E is even nicknamed “Easy Platoon” and they belong to the Federation’s 101st Edinburgh Division.
E]]
** At one point the squad is ordered to HoldTheLine against an enemy counteroffensive in the middle of winter in order to buy time for the rest of the army to regroup. They soon end up surrounded and behind enemy lines in a desperate LastStand. This is similar to the role the 101st played during the Battle of the Bulge, when they were ordered to hold the town of Bastogne and stall the German advance for as long as possible.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The main characters fit this dynamic. Claude is melancholic, Riley is choleric, Raz is sanguine, and Kai is phlegmatic.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Each of the squad members has a variation of this line [[spoiler: when picked to be Raz's partner in his suicide mission, knowing they're going to die with him.]]
* MildlyMilitary: As with the first game's units, your soldiers tend to wear accessories with their uniform that complement their personalities and make them stand out a little (a "believable lie" as described by character designer Raita).
* MultinationalTeam: Squad E is comprised of soldiers from multiple different countries, including many Gallians.
* OnlySaneMan: The groups of three friends in the Squad Stories often play out like this. One example is a trio with someone who pretends to be a Norse god, a girl who is convinced she is a harbinger of doom, and... a guy who's pretty friendly. Or a man from fantasy America ("Vinland") who cracks awful jokes more than half the time he opens his mouth, a girl who has worn an iron mask for almost her entire life, and... a woman who is caring and very strong.
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Everyone (except when Riley arrived) kept the secret that the Kai in their unit is a girl and not Kai the man. Only Claude and Raz knew that Kai left the Rangers for another reason.]]
* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:The only Ranger squad to avoid debilitating losses after Operation Northern Cross fell apart.]]
* TragicKeepsake: All of the non-officer squaddies [[spoiler:and Raz]] will leave behind an item of personal importance when they are killed in action. These items could be equipped like standard accessories and will bestow stat bonuses onto their wearers. [[spoiler:If they are revived in the post-game, nothing's stopping you from equipping said items onto their owners.]]
* TrueCompanions: For all the conflicting personalities and histories of its members, one of Squad E's greatest strengths is their ability to work together as a unit and achieve their goals.
* YouALLLookFamiliar: Partially Zig-Zagged - Each class shares the same body model/shape, but have very unique heads, all except for the main characters.
[[/folder]]

[[AC: Main Characters]]
[[folder:Claude Wallace]]
!!Claude Wallace
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ryosuke Kanemoto (Japanese), Creator/MaxMittelman (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_claude_wallace.png]]

The commanding officer of Squad E. He commands a battle tank, the Hafen, in combat.
----
* TheAce: Claude excels at virtually everything and graduated from the academy with top honors; Minerva, one of his biggest rivals, admits it herself when she calls him "the Ace of the Armored Ranger Battalion." His exploits as a commander have gained him even further recognition, eventually earning him a promotion as Captain of his division and [[spoiler: placed in charge of leading Operation "Cygnus"]].
* AccidentalPervert: When Riley comments on the commotion between Raz and Kai, Claude comes out from underneath the Hafen to witness it... and accidentally looks up Riley's skirt. Though he didn't mean to, she nevertheless stomps him on the face in retaliation.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Starts the game as a Lieutenant but gets promoted to Captain after [[spoiler: leading his squad over the mountains and meeting with the Cygnus fleet.]]
* BornWinner: From Minerva's perspective, which infuriates her to no end because he's consistently scored higher marks and has earned greater distinction, despite all her efforts to [[CantCatchUp even try]] competing with him.
* CantDropTheHero: Unless specified at the start of a mission, if Claude is available, then he is always locked as a mandatory squad member. This means he cannot be unselected when deploying units, nor can he exchange places with another member. This holds true even in skirmishes.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The ''"Price of a Picnic"'' DLC chapter concludes with a mock combat mission against Claude and the lieutenants of Squad E. While under the AI's control, Claude can use the Rapid Deployment order to resurrect [[DeathIsCheap any and all of them at once]] for only 3 CP. Yet when he's under ''your'' control, Rapid Deployment only allows you to summon 1 reserve member at a time at a cost of 1 CP apiece. It doesn't revive fallen teammates.
* DoubleStandard: Twice during separate squad stories, Claude disciplines various teammates for insubordinate action, usually by putting them through mock combat against overwhelming odds. Yet, he gives Raz a free pass twice for the exact same offense (during the ''"Other Kai"'' interlude and again at the end of ''"Breaking the Line 3"'') and grants [[spoiler: Kai]] the same favor, [[EasilyForgiven despite betraying them.]] It would seem insubordination is only permissible so long as you're one of his friends or if the situation is already so bad that punishing you in the standard manner is no longer an option.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Literally. The only way to save Riley is by replaying the final mission of chapter 18 on Hard Mode, which unlocks the game's true ending. Otherwise, Riley dies as a result of her injuries while trying to save Angie.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Because he is occasionally viewed as a coward by his friends and allies alike, he is as such nicknamed "Scaredy-Claude". All this despite the fact that even by the time the game starts, he's certainly no coward. He's never as brave/foolish as many others in his squad though, most notably Raz.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: He certainly does, having been in love with Riley since childhood and still carrying a torch for her even as an adult.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: With no hope of escaping a sinking Centurion, Claude was prepared to accept his fate and go down with Centurion, alongside Riley, Miles, Angie, and Hafen. One of Centurion's gun deck plates, however, conveniently breaks off and stations itself on land at the last minute, which Miles immediately drives down to and gets his comrades out of harm's way, escaping their demise.]]
* HappilyMarried: Unlocking the game's true ending reveals the final part of his and Riley's personnel files, which says [[spoiler: he proposed after the war during the Starchild Festival. Riley accepted with a light nod]].
* TheLeader: He's the commanding officer of Squad E.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: It's very clear if not for his friends, Claude would've crossed the DespairEventHorizon thanks to the war. Even more so when it comes to Riley. In the game, after pulling off a particularly difficult mission, Claude admits that he could keep on fighting because he knows Riley is there for him.
* MyGreatestFailure: Stopping Riley from entering the burning Miller Company factory to save her family in their youth. This left him an EmptyShell until a fight with Raz snapped him out of it a few years before the game, and it drives him to prove to his childhood friends, especially Riley, that he has changed for the better.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: He has a habit of commenting on the wind any time he senses incoming danger.
* ReluctantHero: Thanks to his tactical genius, Claude eventually become a military hero to the crew of ''Centurion'' and the army as a whole. He is very unhappy with this, as being hero meant that the military will gives him the most difficult mission, many that are often at odds with his own sense of morality. [[spoiler:Like detonating a nuke in one of the largest cities in the world. Ouch.]]
* RequiredPartyMember: Claude is in almost every mission. If the Hafen is unavailable, Claude will fight as a scout.
* RevengeBeforeReason: He briefly throws a fit when he is informed that the Empire has announced a ceasefire, frustrated that he has lost his chance to take them down once and for all. He quickly gets out of it, however, after Riley consoles him.
* SkewedPriorities: For all his alleged brilliance, the reasoning behind some of Claude's decisions seems skewed. Such as when he "rehabilitates" Emmy, Viola, and Simon for insubordinate behavior by putting them through mock combat against the Ranger Corp., which nearly got all three of them killed. Yet, he saw no problem with [[spoiler: Kai betraying them]] and let it slide [[EasilyForgiven without any disciplinary action]] and [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality no questions asked.]]
* UniqueProtagonistAsset: His "Wind Talk" ability. With it he is able to predict changes in the weather with almost perfect accuracy. This gives him the edge in many military maneuvers and is part of Squad E's success.

[[folder:Riley Miller]]
!!Riley Miller
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NaoTouyama (Japanese), Creator/KayliMills (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_riley_miller.png]]

An inventor who specialises in ragnite technology, and a childhood friend of Claude's.
----
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Why she is so hellbent on saving Angie during the final parts of the story, since she is fully aware of how completing her father's research and handed it over to Vinland indirectly contributed to her suffering as Valkyria test subject.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Riley has a real talent for explosives. She just likes them ''too much''.
** Part of her ''military'' uniform ''comes'' with a short, hemmed skirt. The reason she gets away with it? Since her role in the army as an on-duty scientist is pretty much unique to her, she got to design her own uniform ''herself''. The girl really likes her skirts.
* ChangedMyMindKid: Upon realizing Claude is leading Squad E, she is not happy with this at first to the point of attempting to request a transfer to a different squad. Along with that, she considered abandoning him when the enemy has overwhelmed the base. Fortunately, she never made her retreat and stayed until he completed his mission without running away, albeit unseen. Along with that, she cancelled her request for a transfer.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: She lost her entire immediate family to a fire, which was started up by the Empire, that ignited the Miller Company.
* DefrostingIceQueen: The ice part only really lasts for one mission, but Riley is initially ''not'' happy to see Claude again due to holding him partly responsible for the deaths of her family in the Miller Company fire.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The game's default ending implies that she dies from a combination of blood loss (from being shot by Nikola) and smoke inhalation due the fire in the Centurion's engine room. You have to unlock the game's true ending in order to save her.
* GeniusDitz: Riley is very intelligent, but also occasionally ditzy. For example,[[spoiler: when she met the REAL Kai inside the ''Centurion'', she thought Kai was TheMole working on behalf of the Federation. Even Kai was amused.]] There's also the "onsen incident". Maybe being [[DumbBlonde blonde]] has something to do with it?
* HairDecorations: She's never seen without a black headband with small wings on it, perked up like little horns.
* HappilyMarried: It's said that Claude proposed to her after the war, during the Starchild Festival. Riley smiles and nods her consent.
* IChooseToStay: When Claude has proven to have changed by staying behind to detonate her explosives, Riley cancelled her request for a transfer to continue on supporting him and Squad E.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Sure she knows that Kai is actually [[spoiler:Leena]], but she isn't informed that [[spoiler:the REAL Kai left the Rangers for another reason]].
* LuminescentBlush: Exaggerated. A stark naked Riley confronts a number of Imperial soldiers who talked smack about females who are involved in war, not realising that she's wearing absolutely nothing at first. When she does see she's wearing nothing, her ''entire body'' blushes red, and she screams in embarrassment.
* ParentalSubstitute: Riley assumes this role after finding Angie inside the ''Centurion'', with a little bit of CoolBigSis mixed in. In fact [[spoiler: it was the kind treatment by Riley and to a lesser extent, all the crew of the ''Centurion'' that gives Angie the motivation and courage to re-assume her role as the ship's living battery.]]
* PercussiveMaintenance: Gives one when the Centurion's backup engine refuses to start up even after it is fixed, although it takes several tries and a final hard whack before it works. Apparently, she got this from her father since he used to do the same.
* PervertRevengeMode: Even though Claude didn't mean to look up her skirt when he stopped working on Hafen for a bit to witness the commotion between Raz and Kai, Riley nevertheless stomps on his face.
* TwirlOfLove: Claude does this to her [[spoiler:during the true ending.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:If she hadn't finished her father's research on ragnite implosion and handed it over to Vinland, the whole Vinland Valkyria project might not have happened and Kai wouldn't have defected. However it might have meant that the Federation would have lost the war, given that in the end the only thing that drove the Empire to negotiation table is the threat of Valkyria Bombs.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Given to her by André of all people when she tries to whack the Centurion's machinery with a wrench. Subverted since what she does finally ''works'' anyway.
--> '''André''': "What kinda engineer hits their own machine?"
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Due to the enemy overwhelming them, as well as seeing him partly responsible for the loss of her family, she considered leaving Claude behind for dead. [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack It's a good thing she didn't]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:
** She developed pyrophobia ever since an incident which took her immediate family's lives.
** In a more PlayedForLaughs case, she is apparently afraid of ghosts after mistaking Raz for one during a mess hall event.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Her thigh highs go above her knees and beyond, to the point that there's no bare skin exposed between them and her skirt.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Raz]]
!!Raz
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyaNakai (Japanese), Creator/GregChun (English)
[[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_raz.png]]

A hot-headed, foul-mouthed Darcsen who claims to be invincible due to his superior physical ability. He is one of Claude's childhood friends.
----
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove [[spoiler:He's always had a crush on Leena and he ends up confessing this way after she tells him she's been leaking the Centurion's coordinates to the Empire.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: He has this in droves with Kai. Raz clearly has a crush on Kai, and she herself has hints of reciprocating his feelings, but because of his crudeness and her own {{Tsundere}} tendencies, he typically becomes her punching bag instead. [[spoiler:Becomes UnresolvedSexualTension when he pulls a HeroicSacrifice near the end of the story.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Played completely straight, and he even gets a potential called Big Damn Hero during the mission where he saves the day. Not only does he volunteer for the suicide mission (being the most skilled shocktrooper canonically), but he basically orders Claude into ordering him to do it.
* BuxomIsBetter: Openly admitted when he, Claude, and Riley catch [[spoiler: Minerva]] in the act of trying on a string bikini. The moment Raz sees the sheer size of her boobs, he does a fist pump and shouts:
-->'''Raz''': ''(grins and fist pumps)'' "YES! So HUUUUUGEE!!"
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Averted, if the way he teases Kai is anything to go by.
* CasanovaWannabe: He's always going on about T&A during R&R. Obviously, people think he's a pervert for it.
* ClusterFBomb: Is in possession of a fairly vulgar mouth, especially when compared to other members of Squad E.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] scene were he grabs Kai's butt, it cements just how much of a boisterous [[{{Pun}} ass]] he can really be.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Doing this to Claude and igniting a fistfight between the two snapped the latter out of his childhood's guilt-ridden misery.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:He spends his final moments after disabling the ragnite-powered generator with nothing but positive expressions on his face. Claude, Riley, and Kai don't receive the news of his death well at all.]]
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Goofy print ''swimming trunks'', to be exact, during the BeachEpisode. And it's an inverted case, as while everybody thinks his trunks look gaudy and tacky ("douchey" as Kai puts it), Raz himself finds the pattern to be awesome.
* HairTriggerTemper: Unless you want to get into a fistfight (especially over petty issues), setting him off is a very bad idea. Oddly he is not usually shown winning or losing, despite being easily one of the strongest members of Squad E.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He (along with one other squadmate of the player's choosing) volunteers to disable the generator powering the barriers blocking Centurion from progressing to Schwartzgrad with ragnite; he succeeds, but at the cost of his own (and his partner's) life.]]
* InformedAbility: During the ''"Other Kai"'' interlude, Raz is said to excell at CQC and is the best in their division. Yet, the player never gets to see it for themselves. The closest Raz comes to being involved in a fist fight is when Kai lays him out [[SingleStrokeBattle with one punch.]] It is best explained that fist-fighting or any form of martial arts would make programming the game mechanics a complete nightmare. This trope is partially subverted by his potential "melee skill", which effectively makes it harder for his targets to dodge when he's shooting up close.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Foul-mouthed and ill-tempered as he may be, he legitimately cares for the wellbeing of his friends and comrades alike.
* KnifeNut: Has a combat knife strapped on his web gear that has a knuckle guard built into the grip. Said knife is not usable in-game.
* LeeroyJenkins: He has no problem charging ahead by his lonesome to take out a large number of enemies at once. This habit of his proves paramount in the operation where he, along with one other squadmate of the player's choosing, volunteers to disable the generator powering the barriers blocking Centurion from progressing to Schwartzgrad with ragnite, [[spoiler:which he succeeds at, but not without costing him his own life]]. Notably, his claim of being "Invincible" has a lot to back it up - he has a trait named Invincible which makes him much tougher. He also never gets seriously hurt [[spoiler:until he loses that trait and has it replaced with the more powerful "Big Damn Hero" potential]].
* OneLastSmoke: [[spoiler:A bloodied Raz struggles to stick one final unlit cigarette into his mouth as a couple more Imperial troops confront him and gun him down.]]
* OnlyOneName: Because he's of the persecuted Darcsen people, he has no surname.
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When his Undodgeable Shot potential activates.
--->''You ain't goin' nowhere!''
* RealMenEatMeat: Upon learning Squad F had previously hoarded the supplies in the town they stopped by (which leads to the mock battle against them), Raz is especially not amused because they also hoarded the meat in the town.
--> '''Raz:''' ''*cracks knuckles*'' Hell yeah! I'll show 'em how far a man will go for meat!
* RefugeInAudacity: Played with. Raz grabbing Kai's ass and then getting slugged for it is one of the more notable examples of his audaciousness. This tendency to act before thinking is exactly what gets him in trouble.
* SergeantRock: He's the closest thing Squad E has to {{Franchise/Rambo}}.
* ScreamingWarrior
* ShipperOnDeck: To Kai's surprise, he decides to lead away Kai and Miles so that Riley and Claude can have some alone time together in Einhemt, Chapter 5.
* SirSwearsALot: Raz has got a really foul mouth.
* SmokingIsNotCool: Angie to Raz, since it'd leave an odor on the bed sheets.

[[folder:Kai Schulen]]
!!Kai Schulen
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaayaSakamoto (Japanese), Creator/EricaMendez (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_kai_schulen.png]]

A skilled sniper who operates as Squad E's sergeant major.
----
* BigEater: Implied. She has negative potential that will drain her HP upon experiencing hunger (or in gameplay terms, when her AP falls below half), and one of the driving forces behind the mock battle against Squad F after they bought all of the supplies in a town is because they also hoarded the bread.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Raz. Raz is shamelessly infatuated with her, and she has hints of liking him back, but he's so crude and insensitive that Kai typically ends up socking him for saying and doing things he really shouldn't instead. Not helped by her {{Tsundere}} tendencies whenever the two have a tender moment going on. [[spoiler:Becomes UnresolvedSexualTension when Raz [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself]] near the end of the story.]]
* BoobsOfSteel: Kai, a master sniper who also has no problem handling male soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. She's also no slouch in the bust department (though she's definitely not the biggest).
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the English version, Kai invokes this with one of her late-game potentials [[spoiler:in memory of Raz.]]
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She took it upon herself to look after Raz and his more... [[LeeroyJenkins Reckless]] approach to combat. She's usually also the first to call him out on his dumber statements and his perverted streak.
* ColdSniper: Being a loner is one of her potentials, and shunning her comrades actually raises her stats.
* ConflictingLoyalty: [[spoiler:After encountering Cygnus Fleet, she is more and more torn between helping her friends and the Federation winning the war and helping her brother sabotage the Cygnus Fleet to rescue the Valkyrias powering the Snow Cruisers, which is made worse when she encountered Angie. She eventually decides to side with her friends after Raz confronts her about her issue and [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove confess to her]]. She doesn't have enough willpower to kill her brother, however, until the finale when she's forced to kill him to prevent him from getting Angie.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Has her moments, especially when Raz is involved.
--> '''Kai:''' ''(upon watching Raz having'' another ''scuffle with a Navy member in Centurion's mess hall)'' Could always throw them out onto the Crystal Sea and let them have a snowball fight.
* EasilyForgiven: You'd think her friends might have some questions for her after learning [[spoiler: she's been spying on them for her brother]]. Not only does Raz let it slide (no questions asked), he tells Kai that he'll take the blame for it if the others find out. Except when Claude and Riley finally ''do'' find out about it, they say they don't care either and simply let it drop.
* FriendlySniper: Helps the team out as the squad's main sniper.
* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:In the final entry of her character profile, it is stated that her love for Raz is what keeps her going on living.]]
* JigglePhysics: Kai's breasts do bounce a bit in a few cutscenes, though it's only noticeable when she's not wearing her cloak.
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Her original name is Leena Schulen. She assumed her brother's name to hide the fact that he had gone AWOL from the brass. After the war, she goes into hiding with Angie and assumes a different, unspecified name.]]
* TheMole: Kai [[spoiler: is not actually Kai, but the real Kai's younger Sister, Leena Schulen. She impersonates him under his order while he assumes the identity of Forsetti, a high ranking officer in the Imperial Army. She eventually becomes disillusioned with this role and betrays him.]]
* MsFanservice: The game gives a lot of attention to her butt, despite that she dresses very conservatively. She's also got an above-average bust size compared to other females in the series (though she's nothing compared to Selvaria, Juliana, Riela, etc), which makes her a frequent object of Raz's MaleGaze.
** This almost verges into a BrickJoke as, by the end of the campaingn, even [[spoiler:Imperial Commander Klaus]] is not above remarking on her shapely derrière, much to [[spoiler:Crymaria's annoyiance.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After gunning down [[spoiler:Forseti, aka her own older brother]], she drops to her knees, unable to do anything but scream helplessly.
* NiceHat: Complete with cute wolf ears.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Usually, she's the one running herd on Raz, unless it comes to bread. Then's she more than willing to reinforce him in his crazy, which is effectively what triggers Squad E and F's mock battle. Encapsulated by this gem that she drops:
--> '''Kai:''' I don't know who bought out the entire bakery. [[Film/{{Taken}} But I will find them. And I wil kill them.]]
* PervertRevengeMode: After Raz gropes her buttocks, she punches him in the face as retaliation. This is followed up by an all-out fight between the two, which happens offscreen.
* RedBaron: She's known in the Federation and Imperial military forces as "Deadeye" for her accurate shots in the battlefield ("One Shot Killer" in Japanese).
* SiblingMurder: [[spoiler:Albeit reluctantly, she guns down her own brother to prevent him from retrieving Angie from the secret chamber housing her.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's obsessed with bread, which helps her get along pretty well with Alicia. She loves Alicia bread enough to vow to find Alicia's bakery after the war and be her first customer. Sadly enough, being hungry for bread actually reduces her health via the "hungry" potential.

[[AC: Other Squad E members]]

[[folder:Miles Arbeck]]
!!Miles Arbeck
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroshiOkamoto (Japanese), Creator/ChrisHackney (English)

One of the Squad's mechanics and tank driver for the Hafen, he knows Claude and company from their military training days (except Riley).
----

* CameraFiend: Never misses the chance to take photos of the squad whenever possible, never mind that films are hard to get by in the front line.
* CowardlyLion: Of the core Squad members, Miles is the most jittery and the one most likely to complain about the craziness of Claude's more daring plans, but he always comes through when it matters.
* DramaticIrony: Anyone who's played the first game will cringe a bit at [[spoiler: his obvious crush on Isara in the DLC]], because that character is DoomedByCanon.
* {{Keet}}: Tends to be very enthusiastic when building new equipment in the R&D room, although this is more notable in his Japanese voice.
* SempaiKouhai: He addresses Claude as "sempai" in Japanese, and his personnel file says that Claude was his senior in the military academy.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is either '''Abegg''' or '''Arbeck'''.

[[folder:Dan Bentley]]
!!Dan Bentley
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HisaoEgawa (Japanese), Creator/KeithSilverstein (English)
Another mechanic and driver of the Cactus. Very serious about his work ethic in maintaining the squad's vehicles.
----
* AwesomePersonnelCarrier: The Cactus can carry a few soldiers onto the battlefield or evacuate them.
* {{Hikkikomori}}: Has "Shut-in" potential, and he'd rather spend his time (including sleeping) inside Cactus when possible.
* MarriedToTheJob: He once had a significant other, but eventually they grew apart due to his passion towards armored vehicles. However, Dan still keeps her photo in his vehicle.
* ReluctantWarrior: Despite being a prodigy at operating tanks and being a tank enthusiast, he dislikes killing and opts to drive an armored personnel carrier, Cactus, instead. Though Cactus is equipped with a machine gun, gunning down soldiers is not Dan's primary role on the battlefield.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_angelica_farnaby.png]]

An amnesiac, yet cheerful and kind-hearted civilian girl who is found by Squad E in the Centurion's Forbidden Zone.
----
* CheerfulChild: She's chipper, kind-hearted, and doesn't hesitate to help others with menial tasks.
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler:Officially she's a civilian contractor, but there's not much of a distinction between a contractor and a soldier when one is serving on a warship on the front lines. The Navy claims that her service is entirely legal because she signed enlistment papers, but that glosses over the fact that she wasn't old enough to understand what she was signing, and it's doubtful that the contract mentioned that they planned on having her blow herself up at a time and place of their choosing. Also, Forseti flat out stated that if she hadn't signed the enlistment papers, the government would have just kidnapped her.]]
* TheCutie: Sweet, kind, and helpful, her presence gives a boon to the soldiers and sailors aboard ''Centurion''. [[spoiler:When it's finally revealed that she's the ship's main power source, everyone in Squad E is devastated.]]
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:As it turns out, she's a Valkyria who is responsible for powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone, with only a very minuscule number of its senior crew members knowing of her real identity.]]
* InSeriesNickname: She's often referred to as "Angie" by the others.
* LivingBattery: [[spoiler:She's a Valkyria responsible for powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone. What's worse, is that approximately 100 other adolescent girls are suffering a similar fate.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name's Angie, short for Angelica, and she has the candor and demeanor to match. [[spoiler: It also sounds an ''awful'' lot like [[PunnyName "Engine"]], which will first clue in the player to her identity.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: Mother is dead, father is an unemployed drunk. [[spoiler:She agreed to be the Centurion's power source/self destruct mechanism in exchange for financial support for her family.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say much about Angelica's role in the game without giving away major plot developments.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Her on-screen moments with the main cast are overall short-lived, and spends the remainder of the game powering the Centurion from within its Forbidden Zone after she regains her memories. Come the true ending, however, she's completely fine.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Implied by the final entry of her character profile that states that she hopes that wherever her father and siblings are, they will remain happy. [[spoiler:Considering that she is basically a military asset and part of the top-secret mission to blow herself up along with the Empire capital, it is likely the reason.]]

[[folder:Karen Stuart]]
!!Karen Stewart
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaSaitou (Japanese), Creator/CassandraLee (English)

Born to an all-male household and the eldest child, Karen's medical training is proficient to treat male soldiers. She serves as Squad E's lone nurse who doubles as a medic. Karen wanted to attend medical school, but decided to join the military instead.

----
* JumpedAtTheCall: Karen enlisted with the EA when they announced a recruitment drive.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Her profile indicates she's the eldest of a large family.
* TheMedic: The squad's lone dedicated medic until boarding the ''Centurion'', when Sergio takes on some of the medical workload.
* ShootTheMedicFirst: The victim of such in Chapter 13 if she's called out to evacuate a wounded teammate. An enemy sniper has been [[ObligatoryWarCrimeScene specifically ordered to target Federation medics]] and she will get shot in the arm the moment she runs out. Karen is unusable for this mission until the sniper is found and killed.
* SkipTheAnesthetic: She'll treat battlefield wounds without any anesthetic if necessary, as noted early on when a Federation soldier asks for some and she irritably tells him there isn't any and he'll just have to "tough it out."
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Her personnel file indicates she enjoys doing needlework in her spare time. Incidentally, this also ties into her medical specialty being suturing wounds.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ragnarok]]
!!Ragnarok

Known as Rags, the dog becomes the Squad's mascot and team pet over time. He was a former stray dog.
----
* AGirlAndHerX: Invoked by Rags himself towards Angie. Since she is smaller than the rest of everyone else in the Centurion, Rags decided that she needs protection and sticks with her. [[spoiler:After the war, he apparently sticks with her (and Kai), who are now living in hiding.]]
* DeathbringerTheAdorable: Named for the end of the world, but carries medical supplies and wears a jaunty cap. Squad members get a morale boost if they see him in action.
* NiceHat: Wears one.
* SoleSurvivor: The final entry noted that Ragnarok used to come from a group of sled dogs those were abandoned, with him being the only one that survived.
* TeamPet: He's the medical dog and mascot to Platoon E.

----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Very protective of his younger sister.
* BirdsOfAFeather: His unlockable affinity is with Louffe, who has much the same trouble talking with people that Curtis does.
* ChickMagnet: If he survives the war he becomes very popular with the girls in his hometown for being the "former soldier."
* ChildhoodFriends: With Laurent.
* FaceOfAThug: Curtis is hardly ''ugly'', but he's large and looks intimidating, and his tendency to clam up around most people doesn't help.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a small one above his left eye.
* ShrinkingViolet: Curtis has trouble talking to anyone he doesn't already know well.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Is a very capable soldier who joined to protect the people he cares about. Too bad he can't carry on a conversation with a stranger to save his life.

[[folder:Godwin]]
!!Godwin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Masaya Takatsuka (Japanese), Creator/BenjaminDiskin (English)
----
* CutLexLuthorACheck: At the end of his Squad Story, [[spoiler: Rosetta notes that his ability to estimate an item's value at a glance, a skill he developed from robbing corpses, could be used to find honest work as an appraiser.]]
* TheCynic: He's out for himself, and doesn't believe anyone would really be interested in helping him out of compassion. It's even one of his Potentials.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Aside from being discriminated against due to his Darcsen heritage, the people he cared about keep dying on him.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He lashes out particularly hard when Nico tries to strike a friendship with him, believing her to be looking down on him.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Godwin has a decidedly evil pointed goatee.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Godwin has a straight scar over one eye, giving him a dangerous appearance.
* OnlyOneName: As with all Darcsens (who are a persecuted people), he has no surname.
* RobbingTheDead: Isn't above stealing from fallen soldiers, mostly because he sells their personal effects.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Has this attitude thowards Nico.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Discussed by Rosetta and Nico in their squad story with Godwin.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He joined the war to loot corpses (mainly out of financial necessity). [[spoiler:He grows out of this with Nico and Rosetta's help.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: A platonic example. [[spoiler:Despite his initial animosity, he comes to care about Nico by the end of their Squad Story. He doesn't like to show it much, though.]]

!!Jester Mooney
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shunzou Miyasaka (Japanese), Creator/DCDouglas (English)

----
* TheGamblingAddict: Frequently gambles away his soldier's wages and is constantly in debt.
* MrViceGuy: In spite of his gambling and apathy towards his debts, Jester is beloved by Squad E for his heart. During his Squad Story, he volunteers to cover a wounded soldier's retreat, despite thinking that two of his squamates are trying to kill him.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Connor and Teresa, he's a totally normal person aside from his horrible gambling addiction. Gambling pales in comparison to dissecting dead soldiers and writing about such.
* OralFixation: He's never seen without a small stick in his mouth.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Invoked by his Squad Story potential being named "Reformed?"
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: While running away Form Teresa and Connor's antics, he stumbles upon a couple Federation soldiers in the middle of an Imperial ambush. Earlier that day he lost all of his monthly salary to one of these men playing cards. In spite of it, Jester doesn't esitate in telling the wounded soldiers to fall back while he gives them cover. Fortunally for all involved, Teresa and Connor also arrived on the scene and together procede to bail everyone out, with the former praising Jester quite a bit for his selflessness.

[[folder:Thomas "Odin" Kevin]]
!!Thomas "Odin" Kevin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ryohei Arai (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English)
----
* BasementDweller: Formerly. He was living with his parents until they forced him to enlist.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Unfortunate Souls," he comes to the rescue of Lily and Jimmy by shooting a shocktrooper dead while they were cornered.
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:After the war, he returns to work on his family's farm.]]
* {{Chuunibyou}}: Very prone to dramatics and insists that he has dark power in his Odin persona, which annoys Lily in their shared Squad Story.
--> '''Odin:''' ''(if chosen in Command Mode)'' ...The darkness within me!
* CowardlyLion: Despite his "god of battle" persona he's absolutely terrified by actual combat. Nevertheless when Lily and Jimmy are in danger during his Squad Story he charges in and saves them. He quite literally is screaming in fear as he snipes the soldiers about to kill Lily and Jimmy.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Insists his squad-mates call him Odin instead of Thomas.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Upon hearing Lily's reasoning on why she joins the military - namely, because she wants to see what disasters she can wreak havoc with her status as TheJinx, he promptly drops this line:
--> '''Odin:''' ...I may be pathetic, but you're twisted, you know that?
* {{Expy}}: Thomas's "Odin" persona shares many of the same mannerisms as Owain from VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening who also reappears in VideoGame/FireEmblemFates under the pseudonym "Odin". Both characters' English voice actor is Creator/KaijiTang.
* IWorkAlone: He tries to play himself off this way at the end of "Unfortunate Souls," but Lily calls him out on it and hopes they keep working together.
* MeaningfulRename: Adopts the persona of Odin, God of Battle in an attempt to compensate for his cowardice. It doesn't work... at first. [[spoiler:At the end of the war, he renames himself "Hades, God of the Harvest."]]
* SayMyName: In "Unfortunate Souls," he shouts out Jimmy's name when it looks like he might have died.
* TwoFirstNames: Both "Thomas" and "Kevin" are common male given names. Can potentially go up to ''three'' first names if counting his nickname, as Odin is also a first name given to Scandinavian males.
* WithCatlikeTread: Lily snarks at him for screaming while being a scout.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rosetta Valeriano]]

!!Rosetta Valeriano
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Okamoto (Japanese)
----
* BeautyMark: A small mole under the left eye.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Given name is Rossano. They present as feminine not just out of beauty, but to encourage others not to judge others by appearances. However, they are issued men's uniforms by the Federate army.
* GenderNeutralWriting: In-game, Rosetta is never referred to with gendered pronouns. Even their time in the church is kept ambiguous, as Rosetta only mentions having been in the church and having taken up the cloth, but no mention is made of the title they held, given that most religious titles are gendered. There's even a small bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration on this - the character list in the glossary is grouped by class and gender and all the scouts listed before Rosetta are men and all the scouts listed after are women.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Much like Nico, if not quite as optimistic as her.
* NeatFreak: Hates it when things are dirty, [[spoiler:a trait parlayed into being a successful barkeeper after the war.]]
* ReluctantWarrior: Rosetta doesn't like fighting, and even prays for the people they've killed in battle.
* {{Transgender}}: They are all but outright stated to be transgender, though it is left deliberately ambiguous if they are binary or non-binary.
* StoneWall: With a high maximum HP, a defense-boosting ultimate potential, Resist Crossfire, and HP Refill, Rosetta is one of the most durable scouts in the game.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: No longer affiliated with the church, but not due to losing faith altogether.

[[folder:Teresa Leach]]
!!Teresa Leach
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yukiyo Fujii (Japanese), Tara Sands (English)
----
* CreepyGood: Gleefully suggests to Jester that he allow her to dissect him so he can quickly earn some cash off his own organs, and goes on about how as early as having been introduced to grade school frog dissections she's been fascinated with examining organs and specifically joined the military with the intent of getting to dissect people. Her Creepy Doctor potential restores her own AP for healing people, giving the implication that [[StealthHiBye she was actually already there without anybody noticing]].
* HealThyself: [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Courtesy of her fixation with anatomy and medicine,]] she has a chance of fully healing herself for free during combat.
* MadDoctor: In addition to having a potential specifically calling her a Creepy Doctor, among everything else already listed above, her Dissection Obsession potential raises her attack power whenever she can get her hands on an enemy corpse.
* {{Meganekko}}
* [[PeekAbangs Peek-A-Bangs]]
* PsychoForHire: A rather understated example, and one that fights on the side of good.
* ScareEmStraight: Threatens to dissect Jester and sell his organs to pay off his gambling debts, but eventually reveals this to be a ploy, to show him what could happen if he doesn't get his act together.

!!Azusa Tsukikage
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Umeka Shoji (Japanese), Creator/CarrieKeranen (English)
----
* BeautyMark: A small one left of her mouth.
* CantHoldHerLiquor: She doesn't ever drink, but unfortunately her nose is so sensitive the smell alone inebriates her.
* FemmeFataleSpy: She gets caught sneaking around the Centurion by Norid and Scott and immediately attempts to seduce them to keep them quiet. Being who they are, this falls completely flat but she still maintains her cover simply because they just don't care.
* {{Fetish}}: After mentioning that Scott smells of sweat, and that it's not a bad smell but rather a manly one, Norid guesses that she may have a thing for body odor. He intended it just to be a joke, but her reaction all but confirmed it for the two men. Her Drunk on Pheromones potential further reinforces the idea.
* IJustWantToBeFree: Azusa jumps at the chance to start a life free from her clan's control.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: She's actually spying for a far Eastern country (implied to be an alternate Japan). Played with since she never actually betrays the team.]]
* {{Ninja}}: Downplayed [[spoiler:but she's a spy from a far Eastern nation and she mentions being trained from birth by her clan which is a common ninja trope.]]
* TheNoseKnows: She's able to find people much easier than most expect for being able to pick out their scents long before actually seeing anything. The best example of this is in the "Captainless Squad" DLC, in which she's able to track down a wayward Ragnarok only by smell in the middle of the freezing Crystal Sea, hours he had ran away.
* [[TheSneakyGuy The Sneaky Gal:]] Has several potentials related to stealth that makes her stronger and more resiliant when fighting unseen and from cover, respectively, and another one that gives her a boost during night ops.
* TokenMinority: The only Scout soldier who's from a Japan {{Expy}}.

* ApologeticAttacker: Sometimes shouts "I'm sorry!" while attacking.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: One of her potentials drops her evasion stats. Apparently she thinks she has divine protection.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Has the "Klutz" potential, which results in her sometimes misplacing her grenades. [[spoiler:Her ending, where she devotes herself to helping the victims of the war, notes that people appreciated her effort even though she wasn't the most capable.]]
* {{Determinator}}: Nico is remarkably stubborn when she decides to do something. Her attempt at helping Godwin invovled chasing him for a full day, including into an active battle.
* GenderBlenderName: "Nico" is the diminutive form of "Nicholas"
* GenkiGirl: Nico's bursting with energy most of the time. Take her line for her Early Bird Potential:
--->''Good Morning!''
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: One of the most sweet-natured and optimistic members of Squad E.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Nico was left at a convent by her parents when she was still a baby.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Nico's base accuracy is average, but she's the only non-DLC unit with the Concentration potential, which gives her the chance for perfect accuracy on an attack.
* OddFriendship:
** ~~Forms one with the bitter, cynical Godwin during their Squad Story.~~
[[Characters/ValkyriaChronicles4Shocktroopers Shocktroopers]]
** She also has an affinity for the gloomy Lily.
* ThePollyanna
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: When her Concentration potential activates.
--->''Lord, help me focus.''
* StoneWall: Like other Scouts, her offensive output is pretty low compared to most classes. However, her Saintly Smile potential can boost her defense to the point she's more durable than a Shocktrooper.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: Courtesy of being brought up by nuns.

----
* TheApprentice: To Vancey, who decides to take him under her wing and teach him how to be a better shot.
* BashBrothers: Zaiga claims to be fighting together with Raz at times. His Squad Story centers on getting over the fear of being too dependent on his presence, which implies that he does this to show off most of the time.
* ForWantOfANail: Yes, Zaiga, you really should have listened to Raz before he and the main leaders of Squad E went out on recon. You should have remembered to feed the rescue dog, lest he get hungry and jump ship just to raid a nearby village currently occupied by the 502nd Imperial Tank Platoon!
* HeroWorshipper: Is this in spades for Raz.
* HotBlooded: He's very passionate about his work with the Rangers, especially when a gunfight starts.
* InspirationalInsult: The way Gertrude dismisses him for both [[FantasticRacism being Darcsen]] and [[SummonBiggerFish always relying on Raz when things get though]] inspires him to show her up by becoming a better soldier.
* InterclassFriendship: What he and Geltrude eventually develop.
* NumberTwo: Raz's Right Hand Man. [[SmallNameBigEgo Or so he claims.]]
* OnlyOneName: Like all Darscen.
* RevealingCoverUp: He tries to corroborate Connor's bogus report about why the squad went missing, which only serves to fuel Raz's suspicion.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: This starts the [=DLC=] story, "A Captainless Squad." Zaiga forgot to feed Ragnarok when the main cast was out on recon. Ragnarok goes looking for food outside Centurion, which means the squad has to go look for him and make themselves almost [=AWOL=] in the process.

[[folder:Simon Bale]]
!!Simon Bale
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toshiya Chiba (Japanese)
----
* AxCrazy: Literally. Prior to joining the army he brandished an axe as a highway man.
* BoxedCrook: Was placed into the Federation military after he made the bad decision of ambushing a Federation Army vehicle. How he managed to get into the Ranger Corps and shake off the status of penal soldier is beyond conventional understanding unless one thinks of the likelihood of rangers putting themselves in more danger than all other army units combined.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: When he hears about the difficult lives of Viola and Emmy, he's so moved he starts crying.
* CallAHumanAMeatbag: An unusual example of one human doing this to another. Simon tends to refer to his enemies as "meat sacks".
* LeeroyJenkins: Simon is bloodthirsty and will charge headlong into enemy gunfire for the chance to add to his body count.
-->'''Simon''': ''(at the top of his lungs)'' "YIPPIE KA-YAY!! IT's TIME TO SPRAY AND PRAY!!"
* MoreDakka: Simon's preferred M.O.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever he's around women, his bloodthirsty personality falls off and talks to them in an awkward yet polite tone. When Crymaria shows up in "A captainless squad," Simon is shivering in utter terror.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Probably the last character one would expect this from, but his unlockable potential boosts his stat when he attacks with one of his friends.
* PreMortemOneLiner: His is the same as Emmy's except, unlike her, he sreams his at the top of his lungs:
-->"FOUND YOOUUU!!"
* TheQuincyPunk: Bloodthirsty, doesn't like authority, and has a dyed mohawk. [[spoiler:After the war, he starts a rock band called Friendly Fire.]]
* SecretCharacter: Is only recruited after the player achieves 250 kills in combat.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Simon might be on your side, but he enjoys killing people more than many of the game's villains.
* UnwittingPawn: Played for laughs. Simon and Viola both fail to realize that Emmy only teams up with them because they're both trigger-happy and [[LeeroyJenkins always charge straight at the enemy.]] Which is why Emmy says they make good meat shields[[note]]Emmy admits it to Riley at the end of the ''Mischief Makers'' squad story[[/note]].
* WouldntHitAGirl: While living as a highway man, he claims he refused to attack women. His awkward behavior seems to confirm this.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He agrees with Azusa that Norrid's NatureLover shtick gets weird.
* NiceGuy: For all his literal-mindedness, Scott is good-natured and very loyal to his friends.
* OneWordVocabulary: Nearly everything he says is some variation of either "Sir, yes sir!" or "Sir, no sir!"
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When his Undogeable Shot potential activates. It's about what one would expect from Scott.
-->''No Sir!''
* LiteralMinded: Takes everything literally and follows instructions '''exactly''' as he hears them; if told to fire on an enemy he will keep firing on them even after they're dead until told to stop. Allies need to be careful how they phrase orders around him as a result.

* BrutalHonesty: He likens [[spoiler: the demise of Squad F]] to pawns who got sacrificed, which greatly angers [[spoiler:Ronald Albee]] who overheard the conversation. Although Ryan acknowledges it was an insensitive thing to say and that he wouldn't have said it if he'd known [[spoiler:Ronald was there listening]], he still stands by the statement.
* ChildSoldier: He's been involved in war since his childhood, assisting his father in battles and also carrying out assassinations.
* EyepatchOfPower
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One that runs across his face and over his nose.
* LibationForTheDead: What he and Keigel really ended up doing with that bottle of his, [[spoiler:to honor the memory of their fallen comrades from Squad F. It Unfortunatley led to a misunderstanding with surviving member Ronald, but in the end they all reconcile.]]
* MyNewGiftIsLame: A group of soldier he served with in the past came together to gift him a beautiful bottle of alcohol, and wouldn't take a no for an answer. This despite Ryan [[TheTeetotaler not being a drinker]] and having [[TrademarkFavouriteFood an equally easily satisfiable habit]] in the form of sweets.
* NeverLearnedToRead: He is illiterate.
* NoSocialSkills: The fact that his whole life has been spent on the battlefield has left him with little ability to handle normal social situations.
* OlderThanTheyLook: His profile gives his age as 63, yet he looks to be in his 40s or early 50s at most.
* OldSoldier: He is easily the character with the most battle experience out of the entire cast.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: A renowned mercenary who has fought in many wars across the continent.
* SkunkStripe: His hairdo is basically ''made'' of these.
* SweetTooth: So hooked on sugar that he'll actually experience withdrawal if he goes too long without it.

[[folder:Vancey Fioré]]
!!Vancey Fioré
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Miyuki Kawashou (Japanese)
----
* AlcoholHic: When deployed from as part of your initial force, Vancey lets out an inebriated hiccup.
* BlatantLies: When activated, Vancey may say "Stone cold sober" in a drunken slur.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She's the SoleSurvivor of a Federation Army-backed special forces operation that went bad. Her memories are so traumatic that her constant inebriation actually makes her '''more capable of combat''' than she would be if she were sober.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:If she sends off Raz and covers him during his final stand, she expresses that she's felt like she's been ready to die for a long time.]]
* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Gertrude mentions about her [=SF=] experience before joining Squad E. The game doesn't mention what specific unit she used to be with.
* FatalFamilyPhoto: If you choose Vancey for the [[spoiler: suicide mission in chapter 16]], she'll leave you a photo of herself with her special Ops squadmates. Marie tells you that Vancey always carried it with her.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Vancey's time in special forces operations.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: To a ridiculous degree. Despite her shaky hand due to being constantly inebriated, ''all'' of her shots somehow manage to hit the center mark when she is training Zaiga.
* NiceGirl: She's happy to take Zaiga under her wing, and tries to get Gertrude to move past her hatred of Darcsens.
* LadyDrunk: Is constantly inebriated, even on duty.
* LetsGetDangerous: Invoked by her "Former Elite" potential. When it activates, her memories as a special Ops agent causes her to immediately sobre up and boosts all her stats.
-->'''Vancey''': ''(sobre)'' "Fine, [[PreAsskickingOneliner I'll get serious."]]
* MagikarpPower: She joins with a set of potentials that actively hinder her, including one where she occasionally wastes her turn, but complete her Squad Story and she replaces that potential with Former Elite giving her a chance to buff all of her stats. Mind you that she already has stats on par with Raz, making her one of the most accurate and hardest to hit shocktroopers in the game. She still has her other negative potentials but they activate so rarely and affect her main role so little that it's basically a non-issue. The difficulty of realizing this MagikarpPower is increased by the the fact that her Squad Story also requires Gertrude, who only joins your squad once you have at least a million ducats in reserve, meaning it will likely be one of the last Squad Stories unlocked.

* MentorsNewHope: Mentoring Zaiga helps her find some much needed solace in her own life. This translates in-game by her occasionaly sobering up and reclaiming her former expertise as a Special Forces Operator, allowing her to go ''toe-to-toe'' with fellow Shocktrooper and resident badass '''Raz'''.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Being the sole survivor of her previous team really did a number on her. She copes by drinking and keeps on fighting in spite of it.
* SurvivorGuilt: Her initial reason for drinking. She witnessed her entire previous squad die.

[[folder:Viola Bryce]]
!!Viola Bryce
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaSaitou (Japanese)
----
* TheBerserker: Viola loves to fight and has the potentials "[[InvokedTrope Berserker]]", giving her extra AP when her health is below half and "Aggressive", giving her boosted defense when spotted by many enemies, encouraging having her charge headlong into large numbers of enemies.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: She initially holds little respect for Claude or anyone else issuing orders. After her Squad Story, she at the very least realizes that Claude is capable and that respecting his command is probably in her best interests.
* FantasticRacism: Viola is one of the few characters in Squad E who holds prejudice against Darcsens, giving her the "Darcsen Discriminator" potential. Unlike Gertrude, she doesn't get over it.
-->'''Viola:''' I'm not racist, but...
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: She only believes in strength, whether it be her own or anyone she serves with. Anyone who doesn't meet [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass her standards]] is considered [[TheLoad deadweight.]]
* IronicEcho: Seen near the end of her squad story. Viola calls Emmy "weak" after Simon saves from an enemy sniper. Emmy starts to retort, but stops short when she sees Viola's being targeted. After capping the other sniper, Emmy casually hurls Viola's own insult back at her.
-->'''Emmy''': ''(monotone)'' "Well, well... who's the weak one ''now''?"
* TrainingFromHell: Her mother was killed by imperials, her father fully dedicated himself to avenge her -which included training Viola for combat from an early age. He got his revenge eventually but left his daughter an orphan. Viola herself now [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge closely follows in his footsteps]].
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: After the war, it's said that she starts a career in pro wrestling and uses "The Violator" as her ring name.

!!Emmy Mistral
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Reimi (Japanese)
----
* BoyishShortHair: She keeps hers short which, along with her boyish appearance, makes her almost seem androgynous.
* DontYouDarePityMe: If anyone heals her, she tells them she didn't ask for their help.
* EmotionlessGirl: Emmy always looks and sounds as if she's bored and the fact that she's doesn't have any friends doesn't bother in the least[[note]]Her personnel file says she doesn't care[[/note]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: If she's killed in battle, her last words are that she isn't afraid to die. At most, she'll gripe that she hasn't been paid yet (said as her alternate death quote). And, if she's chosen to accompany [[spoiler: Raz for the suicide mission in chapter 16]], she's among the few to show no signs of nervousness. Instead, she muses that she never thought she'd do [[ThinkNothingOfIt "charity work".]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes:
** According to her personnel file, she's opportunistic and willing to do anything if she thinks she'll gain from it financially - even if it means betraying her allies. A fact which makes the rest of Squad E distrustful of her.
** If you check her stats screen prior to completing the "Mischief Makers" squad story, you'll see she's the only member of Squad E who ''doesn't'' have any friends.
* NotSoStoic: The only time you'll see her smile is when she scores a kill, since each one means money in the bank.
* PowerAtAPrice: Invoked as a gameplay mechanic by her Penny Pincher potential, which causes her to fire fewer shots than normal in exchange for automatic critical damage.
* PragmaticHero: She only joined the Gallian military for the pay, but has contemplated defecting to the Imperial Army if they offered a higher salary.
* PreMortemOneliner: Said [[CreepyMonotone in monotone]] whenever she approaches a victim from behind:
-->''Found you...''
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason why Emmy agrees to be deployed, regardless if it's for a mercenary contract or when she got assigned to Squad E. [[spoiler:However, in her Squad Story, it's revealed that she's doing it to provide for her mother.]]
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: One of the few soldiers in the EA to have a mercenary background alongside Ryan.
* {{Tsundere}}: Set to full "tsun", even when her allies are trying to help her.
-->'''Emmy''': (indignantly) "I-I didn't ask for your help!"
** If you use the "Command" function to have a squad mate follow you, they'll usually reply "Lead the way." or "Right behind you!". Try it with Emmy and she drones, [[SarcasticDevotee "Yeah, yeah."]]
** She's even tsundere in death. If you choose her for [[spoiler: the suicide mission in chapter 16]], she's the only one who doesn't say anything to Raz. She simply stops in her tracks [[TheComicallySerious gives him a look.]] When he asks why, she averts her eyes and tells him "Just go. Before I change my mind."

[[folder:Fleuret Valois]]
!!Fleuret Valois
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Momoko Soyama (Japanese), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (English)
----
* DoesntLikeGuns: Due to initially seeing them as cowardly. [[spoiler:After a spat with Rebecca and Mabel, however, she gets over it.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: Initially insisted on training with a sword over her gun. This has led to lots of friction with other soldiers, as they insult her allegedly poor marksmanship.
* HonorBeforeReason: She insists that the code of chivalry demands she fight with a sword, as guns are cowardly. This flies in the face of actual history, as knights, like all other soldiers of any state army, were quick to adopt firearms as primary weapons (the sword has always been a personal side-arm, to be used only when no other weapon is available).
* KnightInShiningArmor: Aspires to be one, like her father.
* ReasonBeforeHonor: After her Squad Story, she reasons that a knight fights the weapon that is appropriate for their situation, rather than steadfastly sticking to one traditional weapon. Fleuret mentions that she will commit to training with her gun, since it's appropriate for modern warfare.
* TokenMinority: Speaks in a thick French accent.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Mariko Koda (Japanese), Creator/KatelynGaunt (English)
----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Subverted. You'd expect someone wearing a knight's helmet all the time to have a few screws loose, but she's actually quiet and pretty straight-laced. Her only weird trait is that she feels exposed if her helmet is removed, which is understandable given her circumstances.
* CoolMask: Wears one at all times. Becomes slightly less cool when you learn ''why'' she wears it.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: If she survives the war, she gains the courage to remove her mask, leaves her {{Jerkass}} father and lives happily in the countryside with her mother.
* GirlishPigtails: About the one thing you can make out of her head through the helmet.
* HeroicBastard: Is the daughter of a noble and her mistress, and is on the hero's side.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her noble father's mistress, hence why he ordered her to wear a mask for the rest of her life to conceal his infidelity.
* UnkemptBeauty: Implied. The player never actually gets to see her face, but at the end of their squad story Jean manages to break the lock on Ferrier's mask. After the mask falls to the ground, Stanley is absolutely awestruck by how beautiful she looks. That's saying something considering she's likely gone her whole life without wearing makeup or even washing her face because she was forced to wear the mask at all times ''even while bathing''.

* CreepyCrows: In the "Unfortunate Souls" story, she notices a flock of crows flying to the east, an ill omen she considers.
* CreepyGood: Refers to herself as cursed and delights in bad omens.
* CursedWithAwesome: She appears to revel in her bad luck; apparently she joined Squad E just to see what sort of disasters she could cause.
* DoomMagnet: Her bio mentions her terrible luck, and that misfortune could rub off on other people, thus making many distance themselves from her.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: In "Unfortunate Souls," she casually talks about having woke up from a dream of Squad E being annihilated by the Imperial Army to Jimmy and Odin.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her creepy obsession with bad luck, even she is annoyed by Odin's "god of war" act.
* FortuneTeller: At the end of the war, she becomes one, though of course she only ever sees bad things for her clients.
* IcyGrayEyes: Her gray eyes are the cold and strong willed variety.
* TheJinx: She's got this trope wherever she goes as a negative Potential. She loses accuracy with her guns if people are near her and grenades have a chance to do little damage. It's also because of this that her, Jimmy and Odin end up surrounded by Imps in "Unfortunate Souls."
* NotAfraidToDie: At the end of the map in "Unfortunate Souls," Lily says she's not afraid to die since nobody will miss her, a girl who brings bad luck wherever she goes. It isn't until she meets Jimmy and Odin that she finds a reason to die fighting.
* OddFriendship: The gloomy woman is friends with [[ThePollyanna Nico.]]

* BoisterousBruiser
* CannotTalkToWomen; He's rather awkward around them, which translates in-game in a debuff when deployed around women. [[InformedAttribute Not that he shows any trouble hanging around Eileen otherwise]].
* ChildhoodFriends: With the Blackwell sibilings.
* ForGreatJustice
* {{Keet}}: He has quite the babyface, despite his otherwise HeroicBuild, along with the personality to match.

* FatalFamilyPhoto: He keeps a photo of his family on him, although whether it becomes fatal is up to the player.
* ImColdSoCold: At the end of "Unfortunate Souls" just as he, Lily and Odin get back to base, he feels this trope and collapses. Turns out he was just exhausted.
* OnlyAFleshWound: What his gunshot in the Squad Story turns out to be. It just that the moderate blood loss combined with the gunshot itself, running into and then out of battle is enough to cause him to pass out.
* PleaseWakeUp: After he passes out, Odin yells at him to open his eyes before shouting his name. He was just tired from all the action.
* {{Retirony}}: Invoked, mentions how he just needs to complete one last tour before he can go home to his wife and child.
* TeamDad: Plays the sorely-needed peacemaker between Lily and Odin, as the latter just so happens to been so chuuni to bemuse/annoy even the perpetually pessimistic Lily.
* TemptingFate: The man is such a walking collection of {{Retirony}} and RedShirt tropes that even his comrades are aware of it and are afraid to be deployed with him. One example is in "Unfortunate Souls" where he hears a rustling and thinks it's just an animal, only for it to indeed be the Imps. Lily considers him so unlucky that, combined with her bad luck, it wraps around to being very lucky.
* TogetherInDeath: Platonic version. He was about ready to die together with Lily in "Unfortunate Souls" when they're caught by a shocktrooper. It's thanks to Odin's rescue that it's subverted.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Umeka Shoji (Japanese)
----
* CharacterDevelopment: Moves past her prejudices with the help of Zaiga and Vancey and becomes much more accepting. If she survives the war she ends up becoming a civil rights activist.
* FantasticRacism: Initially looked down on all Darscen as having "inferior" characters. Fortunately she gets over it.
* HairDecorations: Wears a hair band lined with pearls, presumably as a symbol of her wealth.
* HonorBeforeReason: Believes a noble should always keep their head up in the battlefield and refuses to hide from pursuing Imperials even when outnumbered. This makes her one of a small handful of units who shouldn't take cover, as Warzone Etiquette will lower her Defense, making the cover's protection moot.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While her remarks on Zaiga's heritage have no real ground to stand on, she does have a point in calling him out on his overreliance on Raz. It ultimately pushes him into becoming a better soldier on his own merits.
* LadyOfWar: But of course.
* MightyGlacier: As if she wasn't slow enough as a Lancer, Gertrude has the lowest Dodge stat in her class, tied with Jean Matrix and Keigel Hohmann.
* NobleBigot: In spades, with her sore spot regarding her contempt for the Darcsen, at least at first. Thing is, Gertrude is not a jerk for the sake of being one, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything she's been conditioned to think like this and never questioned it, taking it as a simple, matter-of-fact truth of their world.]] The moment Zaiga shows her otherwise [[HeelFaceTurn she has no problem eating her own words, going so far as to serve as a civil rights activists after the war.]]
* NonIdleRich: She's the heiress to a wealthy aristocratic family who joined the Edinburgh Army out of a sense of ''noblesse oblige''.
* {{Ojou}}: She's the young heiress to a family of wealthy aristocrats, which (initially) instills a sense of FantasticRacism towards the Darcsens. Obligatory HimeCut and OjouRinglets are part of the package.
* OneHitKill: Her Tank Destroyer potential virtually guarantees that any non-boss tank she hits is instantly reduced to scrap metal, regardless of where her lance hits or with what weapon. This also applies to any infantry or turret she hits while under Tank Destroyer's effect, despite them not being, well, ''tanks''.
* RecurringElement: A secret character who only joins if you have at least one million ducats, like Knute from the first ''Valkyria Chronicles''.
* SecretCharacter: Is only recruited if the player has at least one million DCT in their funds.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: Talks in a rather posh, measured manner; she can go toe-to-toe with Minerva in this regard.
* SpotOfTea: Gertrude ''really'' likes tea. One of her potentials (Teatime) allow her to randomly regain HP during turn, and her TragicKeepsake item is a posh tea set that boosts Defense of the user.
* TheStoic: It comes with the territory of being an [[TheOjou Ojou.]]

And Jean uses her bare hands to break the lock on Ferrier's mask, something most people her size can't do.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: How she met her eventual husband.
* HappilyMarried: She speaks of her husband quite fondly.
* TheLadette
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Her husband is described as "the opposite of her, quiet and physically slight".
* ShoutOut: She's a RaceLift and GenderFlip of John Matrix from ''Film/{{Commando}}'' down to her name. Even some of her quotes to Stanley in “Girl in the Iron Mask” are these.
--> Remember when I promised to kill you last, Stanley? ILied.
* TokenMinority: In the Lancer unit, Jean's the only one who comes from an African {{Expy}} background.
* TomboyishPonytail: One that is made out of [[DreadlockWarrior dreadlocks.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: She is shown to be unbeatable at Arm Wrestling, and after the war she goes on to win world championship- yet she could never best her wimpy husband. The reason? [[BruiserWithASoftCenter She was always too flustered about holding his hand.]]
* YouNeverAsked: She accidentally drops a photo of her husband at one point, which Ferrier sees and is surprised to find out she's married and wonders why Jean never revealed this. Nobody ever asked Jean about her personal life before so there was never any need to tell anyone.

* {{Otaku}}: He's a big one for tanks. So much that his perk gives him a defensive boost just being near them, regardless if it's allied or enemy tanks. It's also because of this love of tanks during his Squad Story that he helps fix the Hafen.

* {{Expy}}: His physical features strongly resemble Saitama from Webcomic/OnePunchMan. Appropriate, when you consider he's from a OneHitKill class.
* FriendlySniper: Mostly towards women, but Aladdin is regardless one of the most friendly and empathetic members in the entire squad. It's partly thanks to his encouragement that Neige was able to gain self-confidence on the battlefield.
* ICallItVera: He calls his rifle Sgt. Isabella.
* TheLostLenore: Sgt. Isabella was his first love who was killed by an Imperial soldier.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shunsuke Kanie (Japanese)
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Sometimes says he's sorry when attacking, although he doesn't sound terribly upset about it.
* {{Asexuality}}: A mix of this and a weird variant of MarriedToTheJob. He has no interest in "mating" because overpopulation would leave less room for animals, and because mother nature is "the only lover [he] needs".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His devotion to nature can get pretty out-there at times, like the way he describes his lack of a desire to "mate".
-->'''Azusa:''' I get what you're saying, but the way you're saying it is totally weirding me out. I'm- that's not just me, right?
* FriendlySniper: One of the friendliest on the squad.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Unfortunately manifests as a potential that can cause him to become distracted mid-battle.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Azusa's FemmeFataleSpy act doesn't work on him due to the aforementioned {{Asexuality}}.

!!Leonhart Stauch
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiroshi Okamoto (Japanese), Christian La Monte (English)
----
* BlueBlood: His parents were a real Lord and Lady, so his attitude isn't entirely unfounded.
* BornWinner: Subverted. He ''claims'' he's so skilled because he's "born this way", but he actually got the skill he has through rigorous training (mostly forced by his parents).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His superiority complex gives him a bad habit of talking down to others (including his superior officers), but he will show respect for skill and willpower as shown to Neige during their Squad Story. He's also looking for his caretakers who live in Imperial territory to make sure they're safe because they treated him with more kindness than his own parents.
* PrinceCharmless: Gives off this air, though it's mostly just an act.
* SophisticatedAsHell: He'll often slip slang like "dude" and "bitch-slap" into his dialogue when he's caught off guard, hinting that his "princely" persona is mostly just an act.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She tears Leonhardt a new one [[AngerBornOfWorry after he goes AWOL]], surprising even herself. This proves to everyone involved, herself included, that she ''can'' be assertive if she really tries.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:With her improved confidence after the war, she pursues and eventually marries a man from her hometown after the war.]]
* RealityEnsues: She doesn't lose her "Stage Fright" potential after her Squad Story, as something like that takes a lot more than one incident to overcome. Instead she gains a new potential, "Signs of Change".
* ShrinkingViolet: Is extremely timid around people, so much so that getting sighted by multiple enemies can actually stop her movement.

* MilitaryBrat: Comes from a long-running family soldiers.
* SecretCharacter: Is only recruited if the player completed three other Squad Stories.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Despite (rather rightfully) criticizing Fleuret in their shared Squad Story, Mabel is also the one who comes into her defense when a Federation troop disses Fleuret at how "useless" she is.
* RecurringElement: A serious sniper with a hidden love of cute things, like Marina from the first ''Valkyria Chronicles''.

----
* AmbiguousDisorder: Jascha tries to understand everything in terms of math, and doesn't figure out that he's in love with Aoife until someone else helps him out with it.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: During his Squad Story he's able to accurately predict where an enemy shell will land and where it was safe to stand as a result.
* CanNotSpitItOut: Even after he realizes his crush on Aoife he still struggles to work up the nerve to tell her until the end of their Squad Story.
* GoodWithNumbers: Justified, in that he used to be a mathematics professor.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When he finally manages to confess his feelings for Aoife and learns [[spoiler: she's engaged]], he takes it relatively gracefully and wishes her the best.
* OppositesAttract: [[spoiler:Logical, reserved Jascha ends up marrying HotBlooded Hanna. He's more surprised than anybody.]]
* TheSpock: Very serious and logical.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: You'd be forgiven for not realizing that the grey-haired, scruffy professor was actually only 32.

[[folder:Connor Doherty]]
!!Connor Doherty
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Youhei Azakami (Japanese), Christian La Monte (English)
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: More interested in what makes a good story that what's a good idea. His wife actually kicked him out of the house because of his writing obsession. While Teresa was trying to scare Jester straight by chasing Jester around threatening to ''remove his organs'', Connor seemed to be playing along with Teresa. After Teresa reveals her true intention, Connor is ''disappointed'' that Teresa isn't going to forcibly remove Jester's organs.
* HenpeckedHusband: If his Squad Story and his own character profile are any indication, he is apparently this to his wife, possibly due to his questionable writing career. Nevertheless, his wife supports him in his writing.
* LeftHanging: Played for laughs. If he dies in battle, his last words are:
-->'''Conner''': ''(languidly)'' "So this is it...? No CharacterDevelopment? No closure...?" ''(dies)''
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Tells Jester "you're no protagonist, but you could make an interesting supporting character".
* RevealingCoverUp: His after-action report in "A captainless squad", which is a complete lie and an attempt to pass off the "rescue Rags mission" as a picnic with a snowball fight interrupted by a bunch of bears and a freak blizzard, caused Claude, Raz, Kai, Riley, and Minerva to challenge the implicated members of Squad E to a mock battle. Oops.
* ThatCameOutWrong: At the end of his Squad Story, he's so fascinated by Teresa's behaviour that he decides to write a compilation of ''all'' the stories of Squad E's women... and that he'll plant hidden microphones for research purposes. He immediately backpedals once it's pointed out how bad this sounds.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has dark green hair, making him one of the few non-Darcsen characters in the series to have an unnatural hair color.

[[folder:Aoife]]
!!Aoife
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yukiko Motoyoshi (Japanese), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (English)
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Some of her attack quotes are her profusely apologizing to the enemy.
* BodyguardCrush: [[spoiler: She met her fiancé when she was hired as his bodyguard.]]
* [[CluelessChickMagnet Clueless Dude Magnet]]: Numerous men around the base have developed feelings for her thanks to her looks and sweet personality but she's completely unaware.
* DistractedByTheSexy: If surrounded by men, Aoife becomes frustrated and her performance degrades.
-->'''Aoife:''' [upon triggering Love Troubles] You really are handsome...
* DiscOneNuke: Aoife is hands down, the ''best'' Grenadier you'll be getting for a while, by virtue of her being the most well-balanced of the three you receive by the time the class is introduced. Almost all of her potentials are beneficial, and the one detriment she has is entirely situational, meanwhile Connor is potentially more powerful, but has two incredibly bad potentials that trigger very frequently. She is also highly accurate to boot and has an advantage during night missions, making her a popular early pick among players, and remains viable ''way'' into the late game, even after Riley has received her potential upgrade and more powerful alternatives like Jascha have joined the Squad.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: To her fiancé back home, once the war is finished.]]
* HeroicSecondWind: Her Promised Love potential allows Aoife to gain significant boosts to her combat performance and defense should her HP fall below half. It is unlocked by completing her squad story.
** Doubles as {{Determinator}}, as Promised Love steels Aoife's resolve to survive [[spoiler:and go home to her fiancé no matter what]].
--->'''Aoife:''' No matter what, I will survive!
[[Characters/ValkyriaChronicles4Grenadiers Grenadiers]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Of her fiancé at home, should she be [=KIA=]. It gets doubly tragic when you realize they're only ''engaged'' and not actually married yet, as her TragicKeepsake is her engagement ring.]]
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Her very nice demeanor and willingness to spend free time with the other men in the squad have led to a lot of guys assuming she may be interested in them. After witnessing firsthand how one of these conversations go, Hanna is appalled and advises her to please be more mindful of how she words her sentences to avoid any misunderstandings. [[spoiler:She apparently hasn't fully succeeded on the "mindfulness" part by the end of the game, as her final entry states that she still exudes "unintentionally seductive" that stresses her husband quite a bit.]]
* NiceGirl: Extremely kind to those around her, she has something nice to say about everyone.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name, being Irish, is pronounced "''ee-fa''" instead of "''aoi-fe''". If you've skipped her recruiting dialogue and/or haven't played her squad story yet, her name might be rather confusing to read.
* OnlyOneName: Like all Darcsen.

* {{Expy}}: Part-machine, wears shades, and voiced by Creator/RichardEpcar? Yep, he's [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Batou]] with a dose of the [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan Six Million Dollar Man]], [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution Adam Jensen]] and the [[Film/TheTerminator Terminator]].
* MeaningfulName: His nickname, "Stahlschrott," means "scrap metal."
* SunglassesAtNight
* TakingTheBullet: He shields Louffe from an explosion. Fortunately for him, only one of his artificial arms was damaged, which is something the doctors can easily fix... not that that's something that pleases him.
* TerminatorImpersonator: Has the general looks, and the prostetic bodyparts to go with it; plus he spouts a ton of catchprases from [[TheAhnold Ahnold's]] movies ([[{{Franchise/Terminator}} "I'll be back" when he falls in combat,]] [[{{Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay}} "Come with me if you want to... Survive" during his Squad Story,]] [[{{Film/Predator}} "If he bleeds we can kill it" when his potential activates]], and so on).

[[AC: Squad F]]
[[folder:Minerva Victor]]
!!Minerva Victor
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriHayami (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
[[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minerva_0.png]]

Commander of Squad F with the rank of Lieutenant. She was one of Claude's classmates during his time at the academy and it was there she developed a fierce rivalry towards him.
----
* AlphaBitch: She has authority over all other leaders in the division, including Squad E. The members of her own squad hold her in high regard because she expects the same standards from them that she's set for herself.
* AlwaysSecondBest: To Claude, which infuriates her. He's always beaten her at everything since their days in the academy: he consistently scored higher marks, his tactics are always superior, and he's gained far greater recognition than she has. Made moreso since all of Claude's success seems to come easily for him, whereas she has to push herself just to try to keep up.
* BirdsOfAFeather: She and Christel share quite a bit in common: they're both redheads who wear glasses, both take pride in Squad F, and both have personal peevs with Claude. They even have potentials that lower their accuracy and anti-personnel attack power if they're positioned anywhere near him on the field.
* BoobsOfSteel: Minerva's easily got one of the largest bust sizes among the Federation forces and she's also incredibly deadly on the battlefield. She's unkillable as a boss in Chapter 5 and while that status get slighly nerfed by the time she becomes playable, she'll still easily outclass your other scouts and be a contender for best unit in your army.
* FieryRedhead: Has red hair and is fiercely competitive, especially in regards to her rivalry with Claude.
* {{Foil}}: Series wise, she's one to Faldio Landzaat in the original game. Both are Squad leaders who were Classmates to Claude and Welkin respectively and end up having their squads wiped out with them being the sole survivors. While Faldio and Welkin have a solid friendship that lasts throughout most of the original game, Minerva makes her resentment of Claude clear, butting heads with him constantly. At the Climax of the both games, their relationships with the protagonists become flipped. Welkin's friendship with Faldio becomes strained due to the latter's act of shooting Alicia. Minerva, on the otherhand sets aside her rivalry with Claude and acknowledges him as the better commander.
* GagBoobs: It's obvious from the start that they're big, since even her uniform can't hide them. But the only way you'll get to see just ''how big'' they truly are is with the ''"Squad E, to the Beach!"'' DLC. Even Raz, who usually only has eyes for Kai, couldn't help staring or shouting his appreciation for Minerva's massive mammaries.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: She gives one to Claude before the Sea Fortress assault when he failed to raise the morale of the troop through his words, saying that his actions have always been the one to do the talking to pull his troop from the brink.
* ICallItVera: [[spoiler:After the war, she continues service in Federation military along with Ronald, and she names her new tank "Christel".]]
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Claude ends up being this for her, despite her enmity towards him. He's the one to talk her down from destroying Schwarzgrad after the ceasefire was declared]].
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: The loss of her squad weighs heavily on her, enough that she even passed up promotion over Claude because of it.]]
* {{Gainaxing}}: Her ample chest is rather jiggly in a lot of cutscenes. Funnily enough, her swimsuit skin ''removes'' this from some scenes.
* PragmaticHero: Though resentful of Claude's success and holding him indirectly responsible for [[spoiler: Christel's death]], she turned down the Federation's offer to promote her to Captain, because she felt Claude was better qualified to lead Operation "Cygnus".
* PreAsskickingOneliner: When her Undodgeable Shot potential activates.
--->''No dodging this shot!''
* TheResenter: Towards Claude for always outpreforming her, no matter how hard she tries to compete with him.
* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:When Claude refuses to set off the bomb after the ceasefire is declared, Minerva threatens to trigger it. She then breaks down in tears when Claude reminds her of their duty and promise, which is ending the war as opposed to committing downright genocide.]]
* UnknownRival: She is ''fiercely'' competitive with Claude because he always performed better at the academy. Claude, for his part, is mostly exasperated at her attitude.
* WhatTheHellHero: She delivers a scathing one to Claude at the end of Chapter 7 for failing to show at he rendezvous point when they were supposed to. Claude decided to ambush an Imperial supply depot, unaware that [[spoiler: Squad F and the rest of the Federation Army were being wiped out]] because Squad E wasn't there to support them.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsukiTani (Japanese), Creator/DougErholtz (English)
[[quoteright:292:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ronald_9.jpg]]

Tank commander and primary engineer of Squad F. He has a very cold professional demeanor, and is quite loyal to Minerva. He drives the Glory, a customizable Gallian light tank that was purchased for Squad F.

----
* FantasticRacism: Has the Darcsen Discriminator potential, sometimes expressing discomfort about being allied with Darcsens if there are Darcsen units nearby during gameplay. As with Viola, he doesn't get over it.
* FireForgedFriends: During his squad story, he quarrels with Ryan and Keigel under the assumption that they are being disrespectful towards the deceased members of Squad F. Minerva talks some sense into Ronald later, as she had asked those two soldiers to look out for him. During one hopeless-looking operation, Ronald finds out that Ryan is addicted to candy. To get Ryan to stop moping on the battlefield, Ronald shares some left-over chocolate. This gives Ryan the morale boost needed to shoot his way out of the incoming mob of Imperial soldiers.
* GlassCannon: Not Ronald specifically, but Glory, as it is a light tank going up against the Empire's best. Getting shot by enemy tanks is a bad idea, but enemy infantry without lances should not try to attack Glory head on or attempt to run around it, as they will easily get killed by its coaxial machine gun.
* SempaiKohai: Much like Miles to Claude, he was formerly Minerva's underclassman.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Minerva, so much that it also becomes one of his potentials.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite his stern demeanor and weathered face, his character info shows him to be only twenty years old.

[[folder:Christel Ward]]
!!Christel Ward
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaSaitou (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English)

----
* ClingyJealousGirl: Her personnel file also mentions she will not allow any man to woo Minerva with a specific mention of Claude being a potential suitor despite neither him nor Minerva showing attraction to one another.
* CrushBlush: Seen almost anytime she interacts directly with her beloved, usually done with a starry-eyed gaze.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: She passes away in Minerva's arms after the assembled soldiers (minus Squad E) were ambushed at their rendezvous point by Klaus' squadron.]]
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Her feelings for Minerva are so blatantly obvious that her personnel file explicitly states that everyone knows. Though it isn't said whether that includes Minerva herself, or if she reciprocates.
* {{Fangirl}}: She all but worships the ground Minerva walks on and serves her zealously.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: When recruited as a SecretCharacter, Christel will start out already at Corporal rank. In order to unlock her squad story, though, one would still need to "feed" her the amount of CP she would need (20 in Story mode, 40 in Skirmish, 14 on Hard/EX) to go from Private to Corporal normally.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: During a mock battle with Squad E in the "A Chivalrous Heart" Fragment, she gets so exasperated by Minerva's obsession with beating Claude that she actually drops her usual sycophancy and chews out her commander on letting her rivalry blind her to everything around her.
* GoOutWithASmile: She dedicated her life to serving Minerva and gladly gave it [[spoiler: defending her. Hearing Minerva's words of appreciation and [[FalseReassurance her assurance]] that they'd held out long enough for reinforcements to arrive allowed Christel to die peacefully]].
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle on her right eye.
* LipstickLesbian: Her personnel file confirms she's in love with Minerva and often fantasizes about being together with her. She's overtly feminine, in terms of her style of dress and mannerism.
* NumberTwo: Second to command Squad F.
* SecretCharacter: [[spoiler: A bizarre example. You unlock her in the post-game by bringing her back from death, using the same mechanic to resurrect other dead characters.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Christel is hopelessly loyal to Minerva, bordering {{Cloudcuckoolander}} levels. Even after Minerva suffered a setback or made an obvious mistake, Christel somehow manages to perceive them as positive traits.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Spends a majority of the "A Chivalrous Heart" fragment reassuring Minerva that Squad F believes in her abilities, when her commander is seriously angsting over her perceived inferiority to Claude. It doesn't stick until the GetAHoldOfYourselfMan moment above, after which Minerva finally gets over it... temporarily.

* DrillSergeantNasty: He was this a long time ago!
* GameBreakingInjury: He suffers serious head wounds during Crymaria's 2nd attack on the ''Centurion'', which eventually ends up with him giving Claude command over the Cygnus Fleet. After the war said injury pretty much forced him to retire from active command.

* LetsGetDangerous: When Imperials manage to sneak past Squad E in "Soul of the Navy," Bryan takes up his rifle and helps defend the engine room.
* NumberTwo: XO of the Centurion when Captain Morgan is not around.

* SoProudOfYou: Basically her sentiment after the player had maxed out all of the class training paths to level 30 Paragon.
* TragicKeepsake: As noted above, the ring from her late fiancé.

[[folder:Louffe]]
!!Louffe
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shino Shimoji (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)
----
* BridgeBunnies: She's the ''Centurion's'' radar operator.
* TheDreaded: The crew of the ''Centurion'' are always nervous around her because of her foul mouth. The truth is that she's not actually angry at them, but good luck trying to explain that.
* FunWithSubtitles: Her lines are so mean and vicious, that the text box sometimes includes a more polite "translation" of what she actually means in parentheses under her dialogue.
* GradeSkipper: She skipped several grades in school and entered boot camp early.
* HatesSmallTalk: She just can't say something casual without turning it into an insult or a curse.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her ''very'' abrasive exterior, she does care about her squadmates, particularly when she tries to reassure Stahlschrott that she and the others would be sad if he died.
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears A Lot]]: Easily the most foul-mouthed character in the game. She beats out ''[[HotBlooded Raz]]'', which says a lot. She thinks she probably picked it up from her drill sergeant as a defense mechanism during training.
* MeaningfulName: Her name sounds similar to ''aloof''. She means well, but talks like a delinquent.
* NoSocialSkills: Entering boot camp at such a young age has left her ill-equipped for normal social situations.
* OddFriendship: With Stahlschrott. Lampshaded by Marie at the end of their Squad Story.
* OnlyOneName: She's a Darcsen.
* SecretCharacter: Louffe can be unlocked as a playable Grenadier unit by completing the Through the Fire skirmish.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Her definition of "polite" is ''vastly'' different from average people. The simple fact is, her "insults" towards other people aren't meant to be put-downs: they're just how she addresses people normally in her head. It gets so bad that the game narrator lampshades this by providing a "translation" of what she's trying to say.

The Naval Surgeon above Centurion.

----

* TheDreaded: Lots of crewmen, marines, and even Squad E soldiers try to escape sickbay and claim to be combat-ready. Half the time it's because Sergio scares the crap out of them. He is apparently so feared that some said ''the survival rates have improved'' because everyone is too terrified to see him.
* FriendToAllChildren: He was previously a pediatrician, and the children love him just as much as he does.
* LetsGetDangerous: When Imperial soldiers manage to get past Squad E in the story "Soul of the Navy," he takes up an anti-armor lance as a playable character.
* SecretCharacter: Sergio is an unlockable Lancer, and will join the team after the player has completed the Through the Fire skirmish.
* SkipTheAnesthetic: Stated to disdain anesthetics. Perhaps this is why nobody wants to get severely injured, since the surgery would be even more painful than the wounds.

* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:He, along with a number of other soldiers and sailors, holds back the Imperial soldiers accompanying Forseti, who invaded the Centurion to retrieve Angie.

* ~~AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He gets killed when Nikola commits suicide by using a self-destruct trigger mechanism to blow herself up, taking him with her.]]~~
[[Characters/ValkyriaChronicls4ImperialX0 X-0]]
* BadBoss: He treats his subordinates like products and considers subordinate failures as defective products that should be disposed of. However, he is impeccably polite and never actually threatens of insults Forseti or Walz.
* BigBad: He is the main villain of the story and is responsible for some of the driving forces of the plot, some of them being [[spoiler:the Valkyria experiment and the death of Riley's parents]].
* CatchPhrase: "Recalibration", uttered by him whenever his {{Tykebomb}}s fail him. This is obviously some kind of torture based on how scared his girls are of it, and how crazy they are after it.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: He plans to study a fantasy nuclear explosion... from about a hundred feet away. The description of his tank says that he built it to withstand an explosion of that magnitude, but judging from the fact that a single powered up mortar shell can destroy his tank, it is safe to say he failed.
* ForScience: Tried to set off a nuclear explosion, just outside of a large city, ''because he wanted to see what it would look like''.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: For all his talks about sacrifice, he was ultimately [[spoiler:sacrificed by his own {{Tykebomb}}. Nobody felt sorry for him]].
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: He "calibrates" Nikola and Chiara to blow themselves up if they fail. So when Nikola realizes ''he'' failed, she makes sure he gets blown up with her.]]
* PiggybackingOnHitler: A rare fantasy version of the trope: Belgar cares nothing for the Empire's politics or larger goals, and is openly derisive of the Emperor. The only reason he joined them was because of their promise to give him unlimited funding and no enforcement of any ethical restraints on his experiments.
* SanitySlippage: He gets noticeably crazier with each additional piece of his supertank you destroy.
* MadScientist: He was so obsessed with his friend, [[spoiler: Albert Miller's research, that he killed him and his entire family, except for Riley. Said research would eventually give birth to the Valkyrie-powered battleships and during the final mission, he keep ranting how he will now achieve their shared dream, despite the fact that Albert himself was horrified how his research could be used to create [[WeaponOfMassDestruction WMDs.]]]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname is transliterated as "Berger" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* WeaksauceWeakness:
** The secret to defeating his colossal amphibious tank is to build ladders on it.
** He built his tank to be theoretically fantasy-nuke resistant without testing the weakest parts of its armor against more conventional weapons like mortar shells, anti-armor lance warheads, and plain-old rifle bullets.
* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. As noted in MadScientist entry above, [[spoiler:everything he does is done in the name of his "shared dream" with Albert Miller. He even goes on rant on how Albert "betrayed him" when he refused to continue the research upon realizing the horrible consequences that could come with it.]]

----
* BrokenPedestal: The members of Squad E looked up to Kai before he defected to the Empire.
* CynicismCatalyst: Learning what the Federation, as well as Vinland, are doing with descendants of Valkyrur, turned him from a loyal soldier into a traitor.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely loves his sister and Klaus reveals at the end of the game that he plans to live in quiet with her and Angie once things are done, though their relationship has become difficult due to the events of the game.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He is so obsessed with Angie's innocence and purity from conflict that he couldn't comprehend that, by the time you confront him in Centurion's reactor room, Angie was willingly powering the ship without being tricked by others unlike what happened with her original contract signing, because she wanted to save her friends.
* EvilCripple: He walks with a cane since during his escape from his defection, he had gotten clipped by a bullet.
* EvilFormerFriend: Fits this trope perfectly. Once he saw the abuse of Valkyria, he decided to become a mass murderer on the side of an obviously evil empire in order to save a handful of test subjects.
* FriendlySniper: Back in the day, he was a friendly sniper who works with Claude and the others in the army.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Left the Federation in disgust over their human weapons experiments, and ends up joining an [[Characters/ValkyriaChronicls4ImperialOther Other Imperial organization for human weapons development.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Big time.
** For all his grandstanding and alleged disdain for the Federation's cruelty against the Valkyria, he's just as guilty. He treats Crymaria with utter contempt, referring to her as a weapon rather than a person and even taunts Crymaria during one of her emotional breakdowns by threatening to send her back to the laboratory if she fails him.
** At the end of chapter 16, Forseti tells Claude and Riley that he grew to hate the Federation for how they treated the Valkyria as tools, regardless of them being young girls. Yet he's no different than the Federation in how he treats Nikola and Chiara. Forseti himself gives Chiara the order to self-destruct for failing him and smirks when he sees she's afraid of dying. He also orders Nikola to stall Claude, even if it meant her own death, without a second thought.
* ThePromise: Made one with Angie sometime before the story that he will save her, which drives his actions throughout the game.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Done in response to the treatment of Valkyrur children by the Federation, leaving Leena to take his place in Squad E.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is transliterated as "Forse" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* ThatManIsDead: He discards his old name and changes it to Forseti after joining X-0 and becoming its strategist.
* TheUnfettered: He is willing to do ''anything'' in order to save the handful Valkyria test subjects of the Federation, never mind that he has to kill a lot more in the process (or engaging in the same treatment towards the Empire counterparts, for that matter).
* TheUnfought: He is never fought directly in-game, and spends his last moments at his little sister's mercy after his attempts to retrieve Angie from the ''Centurion's'' Forbidden Zone were foiled.
* VillainHasAPoint: Raz agrees with Kai's words that the Federation was twisted upon learning that the snow-cruisers' reactors had Valkyria as their cores.
* WeCanRuleTogether: He actually offers Claude to join his cause, valuing his skills in the battlefield. Considering what he pulled throughout the story though, Claude refused.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to say anything about him without referring to the fact that he's also the real Kai Schulen.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He is willing do whatever it takes to save Angie and the rest of the Federation Valkyria from their fate. Unfortunately, he is also willing to sacrifice millions in the process.
* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example towards Angie. Saving her is his driving goal, but he crosses numerous moral lines for her sake, and his affection for her is unhinged and disturbing. It's equally disturbing to remember that all of this was due to his mind getting broken by the Federation's willingness to use unethical means to win a war.

[[folder:Klaus Walz]]
!!Klaus Walz
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HirokiTochi (Japanese), Creator/RayChase (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_klaus_walz.png]]

The 31-year old hedonistic leader of Ausbruch, the 502nd heavy tank platoon and an independent gang of the Imperial army. He commands a tank, called the Vulcan, in combat.
----
* AceCustom: The Vulcan, a top of the line imperial tank notable for it's speed.
* BloodKnight: Thrives in combat, particularly against challenging opponents whom he calls his “soul mates.”
* BadassBaritone: Has deep voice in both versions and is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous opponents ever faced by Squad E.
%%* BattleCouple: with Crymaria
* BefriendingTheEnemy: The next time he and Crymaria encounter Squad E in Schwartzgrad (after the ceasefire), they meet in good terms, to the point that Walz has no issue with lending his tank to Claude so he can pursue Belgar, who has stolen the Centurion.
* TheCasanova:
** Is an utterly shameless flirt and when he's not fighting he's likely pursuing another romantic conquest. [[spoiler:At least he used to be, until he met Crymaria and he decided to settle down. Then again, pulling this trope on Crymaria is not a good idea...]]
** "The Two Valkyria" shows he tried to flirt with Selvaria, but she was all business and she only has eyes for Prince Maximilian.
* ColonelBadass: He's a Lieutenant Colonel.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: When Crymaria's powers spiral out of control, Walz[[spoiler:, who was thought to be taken out along with his tank,]] appears out of nowhere and embraces her to attempt to calm her down and motivate her to continue living. He succeeds.
* FatherToHisMen: Is very friendly with and cares deeply about the soldiers under his command. Learning they were in danger of retribution from the higher ups is one of his motivations for agreeing to join Belgar's X-0 unit.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Walz was prepared to pay with his life should he meet his demise at the hands of Squad E. Walz is thought to have gone down along with his tank... but he's shown to be completely fine afterwards when he appears and embraces Crymaria to prevent her powers from spiraling out of control.]]
* HeroicBastard: Son of a nobleman and a maid, he abandoned the father that scorned him for the slums and clawed his way up the ranks on his own merits.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In the "A Captainless Squad" DLC mission, as the Squad E soldiers escape their clutches, he opts not to pursue them despite having numerical and mechanized superiority, and his own soldiers' eagerness to go after them. After all, they're supposed to be on R&R and he sees no point in tiring themselves out before their next big mission.
* LightningBruiser: His tank Vulcan is not only hard-hitting and durable, but also able to move across long distance in the battlefield at high speed.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler:Klaus is this to Crymaria. The former being alive is what provided the reason for the latter to continue living.]]
* MilitaryMaverick: Is willing to completely disregard orders from his superiors but is immune from any consequences so long as he gets the job done. [[spoiler: Failing to completely wipe out the Federation Forces however is enough to get him relegated to supply duty.]]
* NobleDemon: He may be an aggressive and dangerous adversary, but he bears no animosity towards Squad E. Outside of combat, he's cordial and even friendly to his Federation counterparts, and is outraged when he finds out that the Federation is using ChildSoldiers.
* OnlySaneMan: Literally: he's the only person in X-0 that isn't evil or carrying massive psychological issues.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: After he nearly gets killed by the Federate snow-cruisers, Walz is relegated to supply-escort duty. Eventually, he takes up Belgar's offer just to save his subordinates. The reassignment is rescinded once the Imperial Army reads Walz' after-action report on snow-cruiser Cavalier self-destructing. To prevent Centurion from reaching Schwarzgrad, the 502nd heavy tank platoon is restored to full combat status and sent to either capture her or (as Walz prefers) sinking her.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only one of X-0 who isn't evil in any way. Even Crymaria is still a bit hard fit considering her massive inferoirity complex making her doing questionable actions just for approval.
* VillainousFriendship: Tries to form one with Forseti, and it's even somewhat successful, getting him to confess his true feelings about his relationship with his sister.
* WorthyOpponent: Is obsessed with finding ones, dubbing them his "soulmates".

[[folder:Crymaria Levin]]
!!Crymaria Levin
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/{{Yukana}} (Japanese), Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_crymaria_levinc.png]]

The special duty captain of X-0, she is a Valkyria who is dubbed the "Winter Witch".

It should be noted that in the original Japanese version, she is specifically dubbed as 吹雪の魔女 (Fubuki no Majo), or Blizzard Witch. This is actually written in-game, in English. The term Winter Witch would have been translated from 冬の魔女 (Fuyu no Majo).
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: She is the most powerful Valkyrur to-date, but felt Selvaria is better than her in all aspects. This is amplified by the DLC scenario, pitting her against Selvaria in a mock battle.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: Like Walz, she meets with Squad E on good terms when they next encounter each other in Schwartzgrad, and makes good-natured chit-chat with them.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Klaus, [[DeathGlare don't look at other women when Crymaria is around]].
* CompetitiveBalance: When her playable version is unlocked she has many caveats to keep her from breaking the game in half. It costs two points to deploy her, she doesn't carry ragnaid (so she can't heal herself in an emergency), she can't hide in grass, crouch behind sandbags, or capture bases. But she also can't be knocked down by mines or other explosives, is immune to the slow status effect, and her staff's attacks are absurdly powerful with a huge splash radius. As such, she can make for a pretty effective grenadier when used right.
* CoolPet: Fenrir, a wolf who was also a test subject. He'll even snuggle Crymaria in bed to comfort her.
* DarkMagicalGirl: She has power over ice, and has the ability to cast ice spells.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She gradually warms up to Walz overtime because he's one of the very few individuals who treats her as a person, not a tool of mass destruction.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: [[spoiler: Successfully done by Klaus to Crymaria while she was on a rampage.]]
* TheDreaded: She doesn't boast a reputation as the "Winter Witch" for no reason.
* {{Foil}}: To Selvaria in many aspects. Selvaria is a taciturn and cool-headed commander considered TheAce and has mastered her powers as a Valkyrur while Crymaria is an emotionally damaged woman who thinks little of herself and despite being the most powerful Valkyrur in the world has trouble controlling her abilities. Selvaria has the respect of her company while Crymaria is thought of as a freak and because of it suffers from crippling loneliness. Even in love they're different with Selvaria being deeply in love with Maximilian and using it as her drive to fight while Crymaria is a BrokenBird who has all but given up on finding anyone who would love her despite desperately wanting to be loved. [[spoiler:Their endings are also different with Selvaria dying by using the Final Flame on Maximilian's orders while Crymaria tries to use it out of despair at losing Klaus, but fights like mad to stop it when she realizes he's alive and gets her happy ending.]]
** Even in gameplay as DLC characters they're different with Crymaria being a long-ranged Grenadier who's very slow but outrageously strong while Selvaria is a front line Scout.
* HatesBeingAlone: Despite her demeanor, it is revealed that she longs for the company of others and wishes for someone to save her.
* HopelessBossFight: Like Selvaria in the first game, she's basically unbeatable until the final encounter with her. Before then, victory in battles where she appears is achieved by keeping Squad E away from her long enough to achieve the mission objectives (Often by having a tank serve as a decoy so she won't go after the infantry), not by taking her out.
* AnIcePerson: She's a Valkyria who has the ability to manipulate ice and cast ice spells, and enters and leaves battlefields with snowstorms.
* IAmNotAGun: Walz is the only person on the Imperial side to not see Crymaria as just a weapon.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Despite dismissing the idea of finding someone, she desperately wants affection from another after a lifetime of isolation and abuse.
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: Her name is pronounced [=CrimAIRia=], not Cry Maria.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: [[spoiler: Klaus is also this to Crymaria. The former being alive is what provided the reason for the latter to continue living.]]
* MightyGlacier: As a playable unit she's got low AP due to being classed as a Grenadier, but her staff gives her absurdly powerful explosives that can decimate entrenched enemies and she can just wade through interception fire like they're mosquito bites.
* MsFanservice: Between her white hair, huge breasts, and revealing outfit, she's a definite source of eyecandy.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Has devastating magical powers and a very large bust.
* NiceHat: Her furred ushanka-style cap. Her swimsuit DLC gives her a wide-brimmed one with a pointed cap obviously meant to be a stereotypical witch's hat.
* PetTheDog:
** [[spoiler: Done by Crymaria to Angie, allowing the latter to leave peacefully after Angie mentioned about people who genuinely cared for her. Up to that point, Crymaria and other Valkyrur descendants were thought of only as living weapons. Angie's treatment by her comrades was surprising, to say the least.]]
** In a literal example, in the DLC chapter "A Captainless Squad", she lets Squad E return to their ship unmolested after learning that they only ran into her unit by chance while looking for their wandering dog - and that Rags had made friends with Fenrir.
* PowerIncontinence: Crymaria's Valkyrur power is unstable and it is hinted that she doesn't have full control of it, which is not helped by her mental state. One notable example of this is after the last battle against her when [[spoiler:her staff keeps drawing her power in order to prepare for the Final Flame even though she herself no longer wants to go through it upon finding out that Klaus is alive, to the point she ''begs'' for it not to take away Klaus from her]].
* RageBreakingPoint:
** She goes berserk after [[spoiler:Walz's]] downfall at the hands of Squad E, the red blizzard that ensued from her rage overwhelming the entirety of Squad E.
** "The Two Valkyria" shows she also lost her composure when Selvaria says she's weak and always has been, making Crymaria power up and blast Selvaria with ice.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Like the rest of the Valkyrur, she sports red eyes, which alone are an indication to run for your life if you cross her for any reason.
* TheUnchosenOne: Crymaria feels that she's always been like this with Selvaria being TheAce and her being considered trash. Her side of the map in "The Two Valkyria" is even the trope name.
* WitchSpecies: Noticeably absent in this game is the standard Valkyrur lance and shield (unless you purchased the DLC to enable Selvaria). As if to cement her image as the 'Winter Witch', Crymaria holds a staff instead.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: Crymaria may actually be the strongest Valkyrur in existence, albeit a very unstable one. In-game description states that her powers eclipse all other Valkyrur encountered thus far, even if Crymaria herself does not believe this to be the case.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vc4_kiara_rodino.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:Chiara Rocino]]

A pair of X-0 enforcers who serve as the bodyguards of Heinrich Belgar.
----
* BullyingADragon: Downplayed. "The Two Valkyria" shows them acting smugly to Selvaria, forgetting that she's someone who can casually atomize them until she gives them a [[RedEyesTakeWarning reason]] to back off.
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: [[spoiler:Despite being shown to hate each other, Nikola calls out for Chiara as she is dying and one of her thoughts as she prepared to blow up herself and Belgar is that she will finally be able to meet Chiara again.]]
* DarkActionGirl: Both are X-0 enforcers working in the Empire's military.
* ExactWords: As part of their "calibrations", they were told by Belgar [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness "failure would not be tolerated"]]. [[spoiler:Belgar failed to exclude ''himself'' from this order, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard which comes back to bite him, hard]].]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Nikola speaks with a very formal and polite tone, but at the same time boasts both a sadistic and malicious personality.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Nikola blowing up herself and Belgar isn't due to revenge, it's due to this trope, or the inverse of it: her mind pretty much snapped after her last failure and after hearing Riley wanting to protect loved ones, she kind of applies that to Belgar under twisted reasoning that since they both fail, dying means they won't be anymore, and that she'll be able to meet Chiara again.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Their personnel files say that Nikola looks down on Chiara as a simpleton, and that Chiara is disgusted by Nikola's cold malice. Both files then add "They may be more alike than either one would admit."
* OlderThanTheyLook: Nikola is 21, Chiara is 20, but you'd never know it unless you read their personnel files, because they look, sound, and act like kids. They're also short, each being no taller than Angie who's only 12.
* {{Sadist}}: Nikola gets a kick out of psychologically torturing her victims.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Nikola Graf's name is transliterated as "Nicola Gref" in the 10th Anniversary Illustration Book.
* StupidEvil:
** In Chapter 9, against Forseti (and Belgar)'s orders to seize the snow cruisers, they released Crymaria who proceeded to destroy the snow cruisers with her Valkyria power and nearly destroyed the ''Centurion'' in her attempt to prove herself.
** And again in Chapter 10, where they ''again'' tried to destroy the ''Centurion'' by dropping the parabombs instead of simply killing the Federation soldiers and capture the ship afterwards. Needless to say, this results in their "recalibration" when they fail in that regard too.
* SuperSoldier: Both girls have been conditioned thanks to their time in X-0.
* TakingYouWithMe:
** [[spoiler:Chiara pushes a trigger and blows herself up per Belgar's orders after she fails to stop Squad E from entering Schwartzgrad, badly crippling the Hafen and thus Claude leaves Miles to conduct major repairs while the former pursues Forseti on the ''Centurion''.]]
** [[spoiler:A fatally wounded Nikola also blows herself up with the same self-destruct trigger Chiara used, taking not only herself out, but also Belgar and the Lophius.]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The two don't like each other much. The recruitable versions from the DLC drive it home: not only do they not have any affinity, they each have a potential that lowers their stats when they're around the other.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The two are almost always seen together, and they both engage in psychological and physical torment to their adversaries.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** [[spoiler:Because Chiara failed to stop Squad E from entering Schwartzgrad, Belgar orders her to blow herself up.]]
** [[spoiler:Nikola shares a similar fate... but since she realizes Belgar failed too, she decides to take him down with her. Not out of revenge, however: see LoveMakesYouCrazy.]]

[[folder:Selvaria Bles]]
!!Selvaria Bles
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CarrieKeranen (English)
* AllYourPowersCombined: Selvaria uses a Scout template and inherits their high AP count. She also has the endurance of Shocktroopers, albeit bumped UpToEleven, has an anti-tank weapon that allows her to behave like a very powerful Lancer, and said weapon's accuracy also allows her to snipe, like a Sniper, though without the ability to zoom in. Really, the only class roles she cannot fulfill are Engineer and Grenadier.
* DoomedByCanon: ''Valkyria Chronicles 4'' is set several months prior to the events of [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles VC1]], in which, Selveria ultimately sacrifices herself for Maximillion by using [[FantasticNuke the Final Flame]].
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Just like in the original, she doesn't carry Ragnaid due to her traumatic experiences as a test subject.
* GuestStarPartyMember: She becomes playable after completing the "Two Valkyria" DLC extra.
* LightningBruiser: Her playable variant is classed as a Scout so she's incredibly fast, but interception fire does ScratchDamage at best, her lance is so powerful she can take on tanks even without hitting their weak spots (and if lined up right she can hit multiple tanks!), and ''she can counter against snipers.'' She has many drawbacks such as taking two CP to use, she doesn't carry ragnaid, can't hide in grass, crouch behind sandbags, or capture bases but she's so utterly powerful it barely matters.
* PowerOfLove: Surprisingly believes in this, saying that love can make Crymaria stronger.
* StoneWall: Unlike normal Scouts which have average HP in the mid-300s, Selvaria has HP in the ''thousands''.
* WaveMotionGun: What her beam weapon amounts to. It deals stupendous amounts of damage with each shot, capable of killing even Paragon-level enemies in one hit and reducing Ultimate tanks to scrap in less than that. It also destroys cover, and can [[OneHitMultiKill pierce through and eliminating more than one target]], which is duly demonstrated by the row of tanks immediately in front of her when the player is first granted control.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She tries to assure Crymaria that she will find someone who loves her and can bring her happiness. [[spoiler:Luckily for Crymaria, Selvaria's words weren't just wishful thinking.]]
