| 11 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatomiAkesaka (Japanese), Creator/XantheHuynh (English) |
| 12 | --> '''Mech:''' Astoria |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The game's protagonist, a Starchild who bears the will of the Earth within her. Terra suffered from amnesia following the disaster known as Gravity Loss. Tormented by the guilt of causing her little sister Luna's death by letting go of her hand during the disaster, Terra now travels aimlessly with her partner Yodaka. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AmnesiacHero: Terra doesn't seem to remember anything prior to the Gravity Loss incident, meaning that she only has about two years worth of memories. Uranus officially diagnoses her with TraumaInducedAmnesia. [[spoiler:She doesn't have amnesia; she is an entirely-new personality that the Will of the Earth created using the comatose body of Luna's sister.]] |
| 17 | * BigSisterBully: [[spoiler:The "original" Terra went from a kind, warm figure to a sadistic bully, which is why Luna initially wants to see her dead.]] |
| 18 | * DeathOfPersonality: Discussed, with the team wondering if Terra will remain the same person once she regains her memories. [[spoiler:Once it's revealed that Terra's current personality was created by the Will of the Earth, Luna finally drops her grudge with the justification that her sister's dead and Terra is a stranger that just happens to look like her...though it's later implied that Luna hadn't figured out how to emotionally deal with the situation yet.]] |
| 19 | * DrawAggro: While Astoria is not a Tank, Terra still benefits from raising her Aggro as Valkyria of Earth increases her attack based on her Aggro. |
| 20 | * TheFettered: Her self-admitted stubbornness when it comes to putting people that she wants to save ahead of her primary objective clashes with the numerous {{Pragmatic Hero}}es that surround her. |
| 21 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Uranus mentions in her reports to GT Labs HQ that Terra has brain damage, but ''not'' the type that would cause amnesia. The more immediate reveal that follows is that Terra was experimented upon by Grayson Order, but the more long term implications are that this damage [[spoiler:is the cause of her degenerating health]]. |
| 22 | * LukeIAmYourFather: She and Luna are Grayson Order's daughters. |
| 23 | * PrematurelyGreyHaired: She was born with dark hair, but it changed to its current color [[spoiler:as her brain was beginning to fail from the House of Stars' experiments]]. |
| 24 | * MyGreatestFailure: Terra never got over failing to save Luna during the first Gravity Loss incident. Worse yet, she finds out that Luna is still alive but hates her guts. |
| 25 | * SecretlyDying: [[spoiler:She falls unconscious right as Luna brings her snacks in an attempt to make up; one checkup from Uranus later, she admits that her senses have been coming and going. She hangs on just long enough to defeat Aphrodite, instruct Luna to live on as "Terra", and see Himiko leave in search of ZERO before [[TheHeroDies expiring]].]] |
| 26 | * TakingTheBullet: She takes a bullet from Little Prince in Luna's place after Luna's attempt to destroy the moon is foiled. |
| 27 | * ThemeNaming: Her unique skills are named "_____ of Earth", since she is the Starchild of Earth. |
| 28 | * WalkingTheEarth: Terra and Yodaka aimlessly wandered the Earth between the first and second Gravity Loss incidents before being located by Himiko during the latter. The DLC scene "Terra and Yodaka's Gourmand Road Trip" reveals that she did in an attempt to find Luna. |

| 34 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TaitenKusunoki (Japanese), Joe Ochman (English) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | A robo-assistant Terra built from scrap parts to company her on her travels. Equipped with advanced AI, Yodaka not only supports Terra on her journey, but also acts as a conversation partner. Although he calls Terra "Master," their relationship is not that of master and servant, but rather of equals. |
| 37 | ---- |
| 38 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Yodaka hatches a plan to warp Dark Lord's self-destructing Dark Gear to safety, but it involves him taking command of the vessel; he assures everyone that he'll survive, but it will take countless years to return to Earth.]] |
| 39 | * RobotBuddy: Yodaka accompanies Terra during her travels and helps her understand what's going on around her, though not without [[DeadpanSnarker more than his fair share of snark]]. |
| 40 | * ServileSnarker: He refers to Terra as his master, while [[{{Troll}} recounting all of her embarassing misadventures and frequently insulting her intelligence]]. |
| 41 | * SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:Yodaka is the only survivor of a mission to Jupiter that was sabotaged by the Relayers. He flew back to Earth over the course of 20 years, which Pluto suspects helped his AI become unusually human-like.]] |
| 42 | * {{Troll}}: He states that messing with Terra "stimulates his intellect". |

| 47 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/himiko_4.png]] |
| 48 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikuItou (Japanese), Creator/ErikaHarlacher (English) |
| 49 | --> '''Mech:''' Tenmu -> [[spoiler:Original One]] |
| 50 | |
| 51 | A special Starchild who carries the will of the celestial body Himiko. Also known as the First Star. Himiko is the one who unites the Starchildren, destined to throw herself into battle against the Relayers for the fate of the universe. She is just an ordinary person who happens to be an astronomy geek. |
| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Most of game's personal conflicts revolve around Terra, but Himiko is positioned as the hero of the overall battle between humans and Relayers. |
| 54 | * FamilyOfChoice: She states that she views the entire crew of the Asterism as family. Her view helps Terra and Luna reconcile, since [[spoiler:Terra is [[DeathOfPersonality technically]] a different person than Luna's sister]]. |
| 55 | * FriendlySniper: She pilots Sniper-type mecha, but is warm and friendly to others. |
| 56 | * ItsAllMyFault: After learning of the depths of suffering that the people around her have gone through thanks to the discovery of Starchildren, she starts to blame herself for being the original Starchild. Terra assures that everything to that point either came down to people exercising their free will or Grayson Order's schemes. |
| 57 | * TheLeader: As the First Star, she is considered the de-facto leader of the Starchildren. |
| 58 | * PoorCommunicationKills: She didn't tell her childhood friend Nile that she was going to be a pilot, so Nile joined the military and became a Satellite to protect her which eventually lands them on opposing sides. |
| 59 | * SensorCharacter: As the first Starchild, Himiko has the ability to sense other Starchildren. |

| 65 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MieSonozaki (Japanese), Linsay Rousseau (English) |
| 66 | --> '''Mech:''' Amaterasu |
| 67 | |
| 68 | A Starchild with the will of the Sun inside her. Former ace pilot of the United Earth Government Armed Forces. Because of her title and background, she is a reliable platoon leader who is in charge of commanding and guiding her subordinates in battle against the Relayers. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * AcePilot: She was a military ace before joining the Asterism. |
| 71 | * AntiDebuff: Sun has improved versions of the Tank class's status-nullifying skills that boost her stats on top their usual effects, making her a good fit for the Breakdown-inflicting Dark Side weapons. "Blessing of the Sun" purifies adjacent allies. |
| 72 | * DiscardAndDraw: She apparently piloted a different class of mecha with the military, as it's mentioned in the first encounter with her former subordinates that her usage of a Tank-type mecha is new to them. |
| 73 | * DrawAggro: "Aggro Control" is a passive that automatically adjust Sun's aggro to be higher than that of any adjacent allies. |
| 74 | * HiddenDepths: Sun is apparently [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak much more girlish than she lets on]]. According to Eight, she is known for crying into stuffed animals whenever her allies suffer injuries. |

| 80 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarikoHonda (Japanese), Judy Alice Lee (English) |
| 81 | --> '''Mech:''' Petasos |
| 82 | |
| 83 | A Starchild with the will of Mercury inside her. Serious by nature, she doesn't show her emotions very often. She is often misunderstood by those around her as someone who doesn't get along with others, but she is a hard worker who trains rigorously in secret to replace her sister, who carried Mercury's will before her. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * BadassBookworm: Mercury is a pilot who loves reading. She spends her free time reading books in her Stellar Gear, partially because her mecha cancels noise and partially because her room is completely covered in books. |
| 86 | * CombatMedic: Her heals have boosted effectiveness. |
| 87 | * {{Fangirl}}: She unsuccessfully attempts to hide her knowledge of MagicalGirl anime when Media mentions that she was a voice actor in one. |
| 88 | * FriendlessBackground: Mercury is teased by Sun and Himiko for her inability to make friends. Mercury's colleagues push for her to make friends with Terra, which Mercury reluctantly accepts in true {{Tsundere}} fashion. |
| 89 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Her sister [[spoiler:Mizuno]] looks just like her, except with short hair and no glasses. |

| 95 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KumiSakuma (Japanese), Caitlyn Elizabeth (English) |
| 96 | --> '''Mech:''' Herschel |
| 97 | |
| 98 | A Starchild who possesses the will of Uranus. In order to pay off her debts, she chose to become a doctor aboard the Asterism. Although she is notoriously money-hungry and has little self-control, her medical skills are top-notch. In reality, though, she is the Dark Doctor. |
| 99 | ---- |
| 100 | * CantHoldHerLiquor: Milky Way lets everyone know that Uranus enjoys drinking grape juice with her because Uranus is a paperweight when it comes to actual liquor. |
| 101 | * CombatMedic: She is the Asterism's medic, but also a more-than-capable pilot. |
| 102 | * CounterAttack: "Dark Doctor's Rage" gives her a 50% damage bonus on all of her counterattacks. |
| 103 | * LifeDrain: "Dark Doctor's Skill" lets Uranus recover 20% of any damage she deals. |
| 104 | * MoneyFetish: She is obsessed with making money, in no small part due to her numerous debts. |
| 105 | * SweetTooth: She is often seen with a lollipop in her mouth. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:Milky Way]] |
| 109 | !! Milky Way (Amanogawa) |
| 110 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amanogawa.png]] |
| 111 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Hitomi Yoshida (Japanese), Katy Bentz (English) |
| 112 | --> '''Mech:''' Galaxy Star |
| 113 | |
| 114 | A Starchild who carries the will of the Milky Way Galaxy. She is the daughter of the world's leading shipbuilder, Milky Way Shipbuilding. On the outside, Milky Way is an elegant young woman who bears the obligations of her birthright, but deep down, she is just a girl who loves pop culture. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * DubNameChange: "Amanogawa" is an OddNameOut in the Japanese version, being a distinctly Japanese name when most of the Starchildren use the English names of the celestial bodies that they carry the will of.[[note]]In Himiko's case, the space entity was discovered and named by a Japanese researcher and thus the name is recognized worldwide.[[/note]] The English version corrects this, changing her name to Milky Way. |
| 117 | * GamerChick: She is revealed to be a high-level gamer that nearly rivals Mars, and spends every moment that isn't taken by her other obligations in her room with video games. |
| 118 | * HiddenDepths: As her profile states, she keeps up appearances as an {{Ojou}} but her true nature isn't much different than any other young adult, including being an avid gamer. |
| 119 | * PrecisionFStrike: She loses her composure and calls Mars a "little shit" upon their first meeting, which began with Mars calling her a grandma and asking if her brains leaked down into her boobs. Mercury has to remind her to watch her language. |
| 120 | * SupportPartyMember: Despite Galaxy Star's typing as a Gravity-focused Assault unit, Milky Way's unique skills focus on boosting the effects of healing items and supporting teammates. |
| 121 | * TrademarkFavoriteDrink: Milky Way loves grape juice. |

| 127 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Ryo Kikuchi (Japanese), Creator/KhoiDao (English) |
| 128 | --> '''Mech:''' Comet |
| 129 | |
| 130 | A Starchild who possesses the will of Halley's Comet, he is a member of GT Lab's Intelligence Bureau and Director Vanegar's right-hand man. He works on the ground with Jupiter and Saturn, and is responsible for backing up the Asterism and defending GT Lab's headquarters. With the power of Halley's Comet, he is able to tell fortunes. |
| 131 | ---- |
| 132 | * FortuneTeller: Part of his abilities as a Starchild apparently include the ability to sense omens, which he summarizes as fortune-telling. |
| 133 | * StatusEffects: Halley's skills allow him to inflict a variety of status effects on enemies. |
| 134 | * WeHaveReserves: He has no qualms about killing Luna when she tries to make off with Selene because the moon would just choose another host upon her death. |
| 135 | [[/folder]] |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Jupiter]] |
| 138 | !! Jupiter |
| 139 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jupiter_7.png]] |
| 140 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YutoSuzuki (Japanese), Creator/MarkWhitten (English) |
| 141 | --> '''Mech:''' Feretrius |
| 142 | |
| 143 | A Starchild who possesses the will of Jupiter. He is a test pilot for a new weapon belonging to the Engineering Department of the Gravity Technology Development Organization, or GT Lab. He is the older brother of Saturn, a former mercenary who once worked for Xoth Corporation. Jupiter has the ability to discern the true identity of others and possesses a bold and accurate intellect, as well as a severe sister complex. |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He is fiercely protective of his sister Saturn. |
| 146 | * InSeriesNickname: Saturn refers to him as Jupy. |
| 147 | * MightyGlacier: He is a Tank-type unit that can cast [[LastChanceHitPoint Starsoul]] on himself and activate a HealingFactor while it is active. He also has an even better version of Aggro Guard named "Guardian's Knowledge" that increases his DEF and G-DEF relative to his aggro. |
| 148 | * {{Revenge}}: He and Saturn are two of the ATLAS chairman's illegitimate children, discarded in search of a proper heir which pisses him off. This allows him to see eye-to-eye with Luna, who's driven by her own quest for revenge. [[spoiler:He ultimately chooses not to act on it, because watching the Chairman's chosen heir Mintaka throw the offer back in his face is satisfaction enough.]] |
| 149 | * SirSwearsALot: Jupiter's fiery temper is matched by his foul mouth, easily having the most swear-heavy dialogue in the game until Mars is introduced. |
| 150 | [[/folder]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[folder:Saturn]] |
| 153 | !! Saturn |
| 154 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saturn_4.png]] |
| 155 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Moa Tsukino (Japanese), Christie Cate (English) |
| 156 | --> '''Mech:''' Quadriga |
| 157 | |
| 158 | A Starchild who possesses the will of Saturn. She is a test pilot for a new weapon belonging to the Engineering Department of the Gravity Technology Development Organization, or GT Lab. The younger sister of Jupiter, Saturn is shy and reserved -- a typical homebody whose hobbies include games, manga, and surfing the net. |
| 159 | ---- |
| 160 | * GamerChick: She is seen playing video games with her peers and is compatible with the Gaming Protector armor alongside those two and Alnitak. |
| 161 | * GenreSavvy: When Halley reasons that Luna won't be able to figure out how to operate Selene, Saturn remarks that his statement is "[[TemptingFate a flag]]". Sure enough, Luna figures it out in seconds. |
| 162 | * LethalChef: Don't let her or Mintaka anywhere near a kitchen, as their concoctions digust Alnitak and flat-out send Jupiter to sickbay. |
| 163 | * NiceGirl: Saturn is a sweet and soft-spoken, if somewhat ditzy, young woman. This [[RedOniBlueOni contrasts]] with her HotBlooded brother. |
| 164 | * NoSell: "Emo Hacker's Resolve" allows her to give one ally "Perfect Evasion", which will guarantee that they evade the next attack against them. |
| 165 | * ShrinkingViolet: She is incredibly shy and soft spoken in the Japanese version; this aspect of her character is heavily downplayed in the English dub. |
| 166 | * StatusEffects: She focuses on stat debufs, with her skills allowing her to increase the range, area, and effectiveness of her debuffs. |

| 173 | --> '''Mech:''' Tenmu Asuka |
| 174 | |
| 175 | A Starchild who possesses the will of Pluto. As the consciousness of a star typically resides inside the mind of a living organism, his awakening proves that AI, too, are sentient. |
| 176 | ---- |
| 177 | * BenevolentAI: Pluto is not a flesh-and-blood human, but rather the computer systems for the Asterism given life. |
| 178 | * MissionControl: He helps to coordinate things with the rest of the team alongside Gillian and Media. This doesn't stop him from taking the field in the final missions. |
| 179 | * TheSmartGuy: Naturally, being a computer system, he serves as the brains of the Starchildren. |
| 180 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: As stated in his official description, that fact that he is a Starchild proves that sufficiently-advanced AI counts as a sentient being to the stars. Luna at one point asks him if he thinks [[AIIsACrapshoot Mercurius]] has a heart, which he guesses is the case. |
| 181 | [[/folder]] |

| 186 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/HinaKino (Japanese), Hailey Hayes (English) |
| 187 | --> '''Mech:''' Neo Mars |
| 188 | |
| 189 | A Starchild with the will of Mars inside her. Daughter of Gillian, captain of the experimental supergravity vessel Asterism, and a world-famous professional e-sports player. Although she is the youngest on the team, her father taught her how to control the vessel via video games, and thus her piloting skills are quite impressive. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * AntiDebuff: "Intercept" grants her immunity to [[TheParalyzer Overheat]] and [[PowerNullifier Virus]]. |
| 192 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: She is explicitly stated to be the youngest member of the team. |
| 193 | * GamerChick: She is a competitive gamer and her speech is peppered with gamer jargon, leaving the mechanics team baffled as to what she means when she asks for "a Gear that can tank cheap specials" and prioritizes "K/D ratio" over positioning. She spouts off all manner of streamer buzzwords during her first mission, including begging everyone to "like, comment, and subscribe". |
| 194 | * InTheBlood: Akeboshi's response to Mars' jargon-laden request is to build her mecha the same way that her father's was built, because in the end they have almost identical tendencies as a pilot. |
| 195 | * InTheHood: She wears a hoodie in her street clothes, with the hood pulled over her head. |
| 196 | * LadySwearsALot: She competes with Jupiter for the dirtiest, sweariest mouth in the game. "Eat my ass!" is practically her CatchPhrase. |
| 197 | * LeeroyJenkins: She is ''literally'' referred to as such by Himiko in the Asterism Log "Neo Mars", when she leaps to battle the Relayers in the orbit of planet Mars ahead of everyone else. |
| 198 | * ReduceAggro: "MPK" allows her to pass some of her aggro to an ally. Warp+ also reduces her aggro. |
| 199 | * {{Teleportation}} She can teleport to any space, but at the cost of inflicting [[StatusEffects Breakdown]] on herself. |

| 205 | --> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YojiUeda (Japanese), Bill Rogers (English) |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Captain of the experimental supergravity vessel Asterism. He is a fierce war veteran who once worked for the United Earth Government Armed Forces, and his skill as a Commander -- backed up by a wealth of experience on the battlefield -- has earned him the admiration not only of the bridge crew, but also of the pilots and mechanics. |
| 208 | ---- |
| 209 | * TheCaptain: He heads the Asterism and is effectively the Starchildren's boss on the battlefield. |
| 210 | * CareerEndingInjury: He suffered a major injury that largely cost him the use of his left arm and ended his tenure in the military. |
| 211 | * DamnedByFaintPraise: When the crew of the Asterism chews him out for his disrespectful daughter, Terra inadvertently delivers the knockout blow by trying to assure him that "at least [[AbusiveParents [her] father]] is worse". Cue a HeroicBSOD, forcing Himiko to take charge for the next mission. |
| 212 | * WhatTheHellHero: He gets called out by Uranus and Milky Way for how Mars turned out. When he responds that she was left with her mother and implies that her behavior could have been picked up from that, nearly the entire crew makes him out to be a deadbeat dad. |

| 241 | A Starchild who harbors the will of Venus. She is a skilled mechanic who works in the maintenance department of the experimental supergravity vessel, Asterism. Although she is a Starchild, she supports the pilots as a mechanic rather than in actual combat. |
| 242 | |
| 243 | [[spoiler:A Starchild who harbors the will of Venus. She is a mechanic for the Asterism, but with the permission of her grandfather, Genjiro Akeboshi, she joins the front lines as a Starchild. She has tuned her Stellar Gear in a unique way, and pilots just as well as the other Starchildren.]] |
| 244 | ---- |
| 245 | * CombatMedic: Fittingly enough for a mechanic in a {{Mecha}} game, her gameplan revolves around healing others. Two of her unique Skills are AOE heals that simultaneously remove debuffs and status effects respectively. She also learns passives that expand both the targeting range and targeting size of her heals, as well as one that heals adjacent allies' SP after she acts. |
| 246 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Some of her optional interactions see her musing over her inability to help on the battlefield, showing that it bothers her well before she personally gets involved in the Jupiter mission and subsequently becomes a pilot. |
| 247 | * GogglesDoNothing: Zigzagged. She's normally seen with goggles on her head except when she mans the Shop, suggesting that it's used for her mechanics work. Except she wears her goggles while she's piloting too, which makes no sense. |
| 248 | * WrenchWench: Venus is a Starchild, but uses her talents to repair and upgrade the Stellar Gears instead of directly fighting. That is, until her grandfather finally allows her to pilot. |

| 257 | Director of Defense within the Gravity Technology Development Organization (GT Lab), a dependable man who is responsible for its overall management. He is a workaholic and often sleeps at the head office, for which Neil occasionally reprimands him. He is popular with the female staff, but he hardly notices. |
| 258 | ---- |

Uranus later convinces her, with the promise of clearing her medical debt, to become a third party in a skirmish between the Earth military and the Relayers so that Observer and Himiko can rescue Terra in the confusion. |
| 415 | * LethalChef: Don't let her or Saturn anywhere near a kitchen, as their concoctions digust Alnitak and flat-out send Jupiter to sickbay. |

| 417 | * PunchClockVillain: Between the fact that the Star Council are ultimately mercenaries and the fact that Mintaka owes Uranus her life, she has the least hostile relationship with the Asterism among non-GT Labs pilots. This ultimately leads to GT Labs commissioning ATLAS for the investigation into Mars and the Star Council joining the party. |

| 465 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He was fascinated by the fact that the Ancient Ones built graves on Mars for both their own and Relayer casualties. One of his comrades were buried there, so he resolved to make Mars the last planet to meet its end in the galaxy. However, Dark Lord has other plans, which causes him to [[EnemyMine briefly ally with Mars]] (the Starchild) and the Asterism to save the planet. |

Luna felt like -- and was treated like -- an absolute failure at everything. While Terra originally helped to keep her head above water and served as a beacon of hope for everyone, Terra slowly but surely turned into a major BigSisterBully. The experimentation became increasingly intense, Luna's peers began to physically break down, and her attempt to regain favor with Terra ended up in the garbage with a bucket of cold water over her head in snowy weather for her troubles. Terra goes comatose, but miraculously wakes up some time later and leads Luna outside -- in time for the Gravity Loss incident.]] No wonder she's on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and [[DeathSeeker doesn't particularly mind if it kills her]]. |
| 537 | * DiscardAndDraw: She starts out by stealing the Original One, a Sniper unit. When the Original One is taken back, she steals Selene, a Scout unit. |
| 538 | * GirlishPigtails: Subverted. She wears her hair in pigtails but is a foul-mouthed {{Jerkass}} who gives little thought to murdering people to accomplish her goals. |
| 539 | * LukeIAmYourFather: She and Terra are Grayson Order's daughters. |
| 540 | * NonIndicativeName: In the later Asterism Logs, it is noted by that cast that it is almost unheard of for a moon to carry a will. [[spoiler:She might actually carry the will of Tia, a planet that was destroyed in the battle between the Ancient Aliens and the Relayers and used to seal Aphrodite.]] |
| 541 | * ThePowerOfFamily: [[spoiler:She has two skills that rely on Terra: "Bond: Terra" heals both sisters if they are both deployed, while "Thoughts on Terra" grants Terra [[LastChanceHitPoint Starsoul]].]] |
| 542 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: She absolutely hates Grayson [[spoiler:for his insane quest to create artificial Starchildren and the atrocities that he put his test subjects, including his own daughters, through]]; this drives most of her actions. Her sister Terra also becomes a target for her wrath when she finds out that Terra is alive. [[spoiler:She makes up with Terra but succeeds in [[{{Patricide}} offing her father]].]] |
| 543 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: [[spoiler:She puts on an Asterism uniform once she's finally accepted Terra as her sister and rushes out in Selene to protect her.]] |
| 544 | * SpoilerCover: The official art for ''Relayer Advanced'' [[spoiler:depicts Luna in an Asterism uniform]], spoiling that reveal. |
| 545 | * {{Tsundere}}: She does occasionally drop her sour demeanor and tease a sweeter side, before quickly snapping back to normal. After she and Terra battle on the moon, she falls deeply into this trope whenever they interact. |
| 546 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: While she absolutely despises Terra and Grayson Order and does everything in her power to kill each of them regardless of the collateral damage required, she also wants to kill the God Relayer or at least toss them somewhere where they can't threaten humankind. Her plot to use the military's drives to suck the moon into a black hole was designed to accomplish all three while also allowing herself to die. |
| 547 | * WhamLine: She reveals to Mars and Terra, who were close to striking up an OddFriendship with Dark Knight, that Dark Knight initiated the original Gravity Loss that claimed Mars' mother and separated herself and Terra. |

| 556 | An inspector dispatched by the United Earth Government to the experimental supergravity vessel Asterism. He wears a mask at all times to conceal his scar-ravaged face. He is a mysterious figure with ties not only to the United Earth government's military, but also to the Relayers and Starchildren. |
| 557 | ---- |
| 558 | * TheChessmaster: He manipulates all sides of the conflict with the end goal of [[spoiler:killing Aphrodite, as part of his revenge against Zeus]]. He has no qualms about using highly-questionable methods to achieve his goal, including flat-out [[spoiler:brainwashing]] in a couple of instances. |
| 559 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He is only known as "[the] Observer" for most of the game. His real name [[spoiler:only appears at the end of the final Asterism Log]]. |
| 560 | * TheReveal: Clearing the final Asterism Log gives a look into his past: [[spoiler:He is Prometheus, who gave the humans "Fire" but was punished and given his horrible scar when humans began to fight wars against each other. He was horrified when the Gods began to slaughter humans and it is implied that this is what drives him to manipulate the humans into fighting and killing the Relayers.]] |
| 561 | * ScarsAreForever: His half-mask hides unsightly scarring on the right side of his face. |
| 562 | * WildCard: He officially works as an [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin observer]] for the Earth government, but is seen helping all sides of the conflict which makes his allegiance unclear. |
