History Characters / YsMemoriesOfCelceta

* LastOfHisKind: The sole remaining member of a tribe designated as Sparda caretakers.

[[LadyOfWar A female knight]] from the village of Danan who also serves as a storyteller, Frieda has a homunculus fairy called Nina as a partner and [[BladeOnAStick wields a halberd]]. ChildhoodFriends with Duren, she accompanies Adol's party when the nature of Danan Village proves to an important stop for him and its residents' history with not only Eldeel, but the region of Celceta.

** A massive one you can learn from her mother is that [[spoiler:Ernst, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/YsVITheArkOfNapishtim'', was Frieda's fiancée and he left with Gruda when the latter rebelled against the Danan leadership, taking the Black Key Almarion with him]].
** Nina's existence pretty much explains where [[spoiler:Ernst's faeries]] in ''Ys VI'' came from.

Recently stationed in Celceta at the Frontier City of Casnan by the Romun Empire, Griselda tasks Adol with clearing monsters and creating a map of the Great Forest of Celceta.

* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Griselda returns in ''VideoGame/YsVIIILacrimosaOfDana'', provided players find her, as the last of the castaways shipwrecked on the Isle of Seiren aboard the ''Lombardia'' passenger vessel]].

* GlassCannon: She can deal loads of damage, but cannot take much of it before she is knocked out.

* HeartbrokenBadass: If Frieda's mother and Nina's words are true, her fiance [[spoiler:Ernst]] leaving the village [[spoiler:with Gruda]] years earlier is still a sore spot for her.

An apostle of Eldeel who lives in the plateau town of Highland, the polite and quiet Leeza can act rashly to protect the people she holds dear.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:By breaking the barrier on the Mask of the Sun guarded by Danan Village, she accidentally allows Gruda to steal it]].

A young GenkiGirl who lives in the treetop village of Comodo, Karna is an extremely skilled huntress. One of the best warriors in Comodo, she puts most of the other hunters in the village to shame with her accuracy and cunning talent. Her WeaponOfChoice are [[KnifeNut throwing knives]], though she has an unfortunate habit of throwing first and asking questions later.

* KnifeNut: She uses throwing knives as her weapons. She can also use them to cut certain obstacles down to create bridges.

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: In the original ''Mask of the Sun'' and ''Dawn of Ys', she wore her hair in pigtails, albeit the latter game shown them [[RapunzelHair longer]] than the former. In ''A New Theory'', she had long and untied hair. In ''Memories of Celceta'', her hair was long and mostly untied save for a small portion of it being tied in a ponytail.

* NoNameGiven: This follower of Gruda dispacthed to Esteria has no known game.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is blue in ''Mask of the Sun''.

* GirlOfTheWeek: The latest in a long line of girls [[ChasteHero Adol]] inevitably ends up leaving behind to head to another adventure.

! Non-Canonical character

* {{Sadist}}: He straight up expresses delight at flaying the skin at Adol's flesh.

* StandardStatusEffects: "Poison Knife" will inflict the poison status ailment against her targets.

* NotSoDifferent: Despite claiming to have greater goals than preceding Darklings such as Dalles, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Gruda is clearly addicted to the power of the Mask of the Sun]], just as Dalles was similarly seduced by the Black Pearl.

* CanonForeigner: Was created for Memories of Celceta and did not appear in earlier versions of Ys IV.

* CanonForeigner: Was created for Memories of Celceta and did not appear in older versions of Ys IV.

** Deconstructed in ''Memories of Celceta''. He starts off believing that Dark Eldeel shares his vision of ruthlessly "testing" humanity, to the point where he willingly relinquishes the Mask of the Sun in the hopes that the Black-winged One will accomplish his goals for him. Once he realizes that Dark Eldeel has a sense of mercy, Gruda states his disappointment and steals the mask in order to bring about the apocalypse himself. Gruda is an example of what this trope leads to when the supporter learns that his boss isn't as psycho as he is.

* CanonForeigner: Appeared only in ''Ys IV: Dawn of Ys'', an alternative version of Ys IV.

This is the character list for ''Ys IV: Mask of the Sun'', ''Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys'' and the VideoGameRemake ''Ys: Memories of Celceta''. For entries about Adol Christin, Dogi and characters from other installments, see the main page.

* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:He joins the Romun army, but only to act as a ReverseMole on Adol's behalf to spy on Gruda and his rogue faction]].

* TheUnfought: Justified; [[spoiler:despite ''Memories of Celceta'' building up the premise he is a {{Face Heel Turn}}ing antagonist brother to a party member, TheReveal he's actually a ReverseMole puts a stop to any hostilities against him]].
