41	[[folder:Swindler Magician Dolf]]
42	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dolf.jpg]]
43	[[quoteright:250:[[labelnote:JP redesign]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dolfjp.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

54	->'''Illustrator:''' Hanul Lee (GL/KR)
55	----
56	* ColonyDrop: When equipped with Helios, Dolf can drop a massive meteor on targets. It's very easy to dodge, but when playing in Kama-ZONE or Orbital Lift with computer-controlled parties, one badly-placed meteor can crush multiple units.
57	* ConMan: He's skilled enough with magic (despite dropping out of magic school) and has enough charisma that he does well masquerading as a court wizard who charges a pretty penny for his services.
58	* GloryHound: A relentless one at times. He ''can'' hold his own in a fight; he'd just rather have Amy do all the dirty work and take all the credit for himself.
59	* RichesToRags: Had to drop out of magic school when his noble family fell into poverty.

78	* TheBerserker: Timid out of battle but a ScreamingWarrior in battle that swings a two-handed sword with ease.
79	* BloodKnight: She loves combat with strong opponents.
80	* ConMan: Is not actually a maid. She just rolls with it because of the deals Dolf can get.
81	* MoodSwinger: She can flip between her meek and berserk personas at the drop of a hat.
82	* SuddenlyShouting: Most of her voice lines have her start in her meek whisper before exploding into aggressive screaming.
83	* UndyingLoyalty: To Dolf.

87	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rie.jpg]]

101	* BatterUp: Fittingly, her Exclusive Weapon is a bat.
102	* IKnowMaddenKombat: Her fighting style involves batting balls at opponents.
103	* PassionateSportsGirl: She lives for battleball.
104	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves steak.

106
107	[[folder:Dragon Seeking Girl Neva]]
108	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/neva_9.jpg]]
109	[[quoteright:250:[[labelnote:JP redesign]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nevajp.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

119	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/XantheHuynh (English)
120	->'''Illustrator:''' Wonchun Choi (GL/KR)
121	----
122	* AdvertisedExtra: Neva has been seen in adverts for the game for quite a long time, but was not actually released as a playable character for a long time. In fact, before her short story, she was almost a non-entity.
123	* ADayInTheLimelight: She finally gets some action during her short story, "Neva, the Dragon Detective", which also serves as this for Girgas.
124	* BouncingBattler: After she activates her chain skill, all of her attacks become leaping slams for a few seconds.
125	* CoolBigSis: She dubbed herself this to Girgas against the latter's objections.
126	* CulturalRebel: She belonged to a tribe that believes that dragons are pure evil, but wants to befriend one.
127	* HornyVikings: Certainly has the helmets and the barbarianism down.
128	* WanderingTheEarth: She spent an unknown amount of time searching the world for any trace of dragons.

131	!Other Characters
132	[[folder:Lana the Lightning Counter]]
133	A blond-haired goblin girl who is obsessed with being the fastest one there is. She challenges you [[OnceASeason once per world/side story]] to a race. Each time you beat her you get a Star Piece and a Runner Girl card.
134	->'''Voiced by:''' ??? (Japanese)
135	----
136	* {{Determinator}}: It's clear her losing isn't going to stop her at all. [[spoiler:She does lose this trait slightly during Unrecorded World (having lost her mobility), however, with the help of the Knight, she gets back on track and even wins the race.]]
137	* {{Expy}}: You can race her to get a star-related MacGuffin if you win, much like [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Koopa the Quick.]]
138	* FunPersonified: Always enjoys a good race no matter what and is always looking forward to the next race when the player beats her. Her stats in the Succubus Cafe minigame lampshade this: Minimal Visual and Kindness stats but sky-high Humor.[[spoiler:Which causes her [[AgonyOfTheFeet fate]] and [[StepfordSmiler personality]] in the [[CrapsackWorld Unrecorded World]] to hit like a truck.]]
139	* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler:Winds up ruining her legs during world 10's TimeSkip.]] Seems to be an outright CareerEndingInjury but she regains her motivation as the story progresses and promises to recover.
140	* HandicappedBadass: Lana is still faster than the Invaders [[spoiler:when she's stuck in a wheelchair, but has lost her ability to navigate obstacles as easily]].
141	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOASzGZNAo4 Lightning Counter.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO5oBvd4smU A variation]] that plays during the World 11 race, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sff4AkoSgoY and another]] that plays for the World 13 race. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v5wTggOBnQ A slow and emotional version]] of her theme is used near the end of the World 11 race, playing when [[spoiler:she manages to run with her legs and win the race when she was supposed to have been permanently crippled]]. Afterwards, [[https://youtu.be/sff4AkoSgoY a chiptune-style variation]] plays in World 13, and [[https://youtu.be/8vLl9EqbqaM a remixed version]] plays in World 16 during the Best Clone Contest sidequest.
142	* IdenticalGrandson: Lana looks very similar to [[StrongFamilyResemblance her mother Lala]] and her ancestor Kiri, enough that the Knight initially confuses them for Lana at first glance.
143	* LeParkour: Lana makes up for the Knight obtaining SprintShoes by being capable of jumping past various hazards in future races.
144	* OnceASeason: Each world and side story contains a race against her in some form. Zigzagged in World 10, where the race is [[spoiler:Lana fleeing Invaders. She can still easily outrun them, but has to face quite a few hazards due to being in a wheelchair]], and in World 16, where both you and Lana instead run for your lives in the [[VideoGame/FallGuys Best Clone Contest]] against [[spoiler:Loraine's clones]].
145	* StableTimeLoop: Lana was bestowed her title Lightning Counter by her mother Lala. Lala got the idea for the title from you after you confused her for Lana and beat her in the past during the ''Folktale'' side-story. And you got it from Lana the first time you met.
146	* SuddenlyVoiced: As a result of the Japanese version adding partial voice acting for Chapter 10 and, retroactively, Chapter 1.
147	* TauntButton: There's a couple of side stages where you control Lana. During these stages, you can press the attack key to yell "Lightning Counter!"
148	* UnexpectedGameplayChange: The "race" in the ''Once Upon A Time In Burywood'' side-story is in starships, and your goal is suddenly to shoot her down within the time limit.
149	** Her "race" in World 10 is [[spoiler: you taking control of her while she wheels away for her life from the Invaders. All the while her [[MoodWhiplash music theme]] plays.]]
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Cecil]]
153	A vampire idol that appears [[OnceASeason in each world/side story]], attracting crowds with her singing.
154	----
155	* BackgroundMusicOverride: Cecil's singing overrides the area's music as you approach her. It's subverted during Demon World, where [[spoiler:when she starts to sing, the demons nearby start throwing stuff at her, causing her to stop and the music of the level to begin again.]]
156	* BlackSheep: Is this for ''most of the demons'' in Demon World, to the point where she was almost killed by a group of punk vampires just because she's willing to play to humans. [[spoiler:This is because, five years before the start of the game, she was falsely accused of being at the epicenter of six high-profile murders, the victims being people who were close or related to her in some way or another. Even when it was revealed that the perpetrator was Queen Lilith's out-of-control android assistant Vicky and its creation Android Erina, the damage to her reputation had already been done.]]
157	* BreakThemByTalking: If you encounter Cecil in Kama-ZONE, you can earn silver coins by having her scatter a group of monsters. She does this by ''dissing them via hip-hop''.
158	* CanonImmigrant: From ''Dungeon Link''.
159	* LastEpisodeThemeReprise: When she starts singing in World 11-6, it's to the game's title theme.
160	* SpeakingSimlish: Her songs are all in a nonsensical language that doesn't match anything else in the game.
161	* WanderingMinstrel: Given that she appears in each world, she travels around quite a bit.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Hero Kaden]]
165	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaden_dl.png]]
166	[[caption-width-right:350:Kaden during the events of ''Dungeon Link'']]
167	A legendary Hero that appeared in Kanterbury 500 years ago, succeeding the previous Hero [[Characters/GuardianTalesBasicUniqueHeroes Erina]], and preceding the current Hero, [[Characters/GuardianTalesWorld1 the Knight]]. His adventure is documented in the prequel game ''Dungeon Link''. He suddenly vanished while seeking out a certain legendary sword and having Heavenhold constructed in preparation for a dire threat to come centuries into the future.
168
169	->[[spoiler:To see what he had become, see the [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes Dark Unique Heroes]] page on the Plague Doctor.]]
170	->'''Species:''' Human [[spoiler:(Formerly)]]
171	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukuyama (Japanese), Kang Soo-jin (Korean), Creator/ZachAguilar (English)
172	----
173	* AllForNothing: It's implied that his quest on "Dungeon Link" ended up this way, as when he disappeared, the world turned into the state it is now.[[spoiler: Moreover, his disappearance and the things he did while hidden, losing his friends, committing various horrific things and more to destroy the loop, all gets stopped when the Knight shows up on the Otherworld and defeats him.]]
174	* TheFaceless: Especially for ''Guardian Tales''-only players. Before the Expedition update, Kaden had only been mentioned by his former compatriots here and there. It's only until the Expedition update that his face is finally revealed. [[spoiler:In the main story, his face is not shown until world 17.]]
175	* LegendaryInTheSequel: Became a legendary hero who's well revered even after 500 years have passed since his world-saving adventure. You can even find figurines of him being sold in convenience stores in the Demon World.
176	* MementoMacGuffin: In the Old Diary [[StoryBreadcrumbs story bit]] found by progressing through the first Expedition, [[spoiler:he gives Clara a feather-shaped location emitter that she can use to call for him whenever she needs him, doubling as an IWillFindYou. Cue in Kaden's disappearance and Clara's descent into becoming an EmptyShell]].
177	* PassingTheTorch: Planned to hand over the Hero title to the next one by building Heavenhold and finding the Champion's Sword for them, until unknown circumstances led to his disappearance. This may still be in the works as he's hinted at becoming part of the Champions himself.[[spoiler:...Or at least that would have been the plan in one of the iterations of the world. Current Kaden, the Plague Doctor, is not one to pass out torches.]]
178	** [[spoiler:Played Straight during the Season 2 finale, as a (now dying) Kaden gives the Knight and the Little Princess his hopes to destroy the loop the world has been in for so long, them being the best chance to do that. To send that point home, the Champion's Sword reacts to Kaden as he does this, showing he indeed was one of the champions.]]
179	* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: The leading man of ''Dungeon Link'', and his actions influence much of ''Guardian Tales'''s overarching plot. He's also strongly implied to become one of the 13 Champions judging from [[https://imgur.com/a/MIkc9hS one of the silhouettes being a caped warrior wearing a horned helmet]], which was [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/monsterwarlord/images/b/bf/Kaden.png/ his 6* appearance]] in the previous game and matches his appearance in the Expedition story.
180	* ReunionVow: [[spoiler:Promised to reunite with Clara a decade from now to celebrate the Founding Festival, along with all the other people Kaden's adventured with over the course of his original game.]] He would soon disappear off the face of the earth due to unknown circumstances.
181	* ShipTease: With [[Characters/GuardianTalesFireUniqueHeroes Clara]]. In the Old Diary story, [[spoiler:he can be seen being rather nervous and lost for words when it comes to how his words to Clara would sound to everybody else. He even tried to invite her to go on another journey with him to seek out the Champion's Sword, but she refused as she planned to take responsibility for the loss of holy magic via the World Tree's burning by becoming a wandering healer]].[[spoiler:He even still thinks of her before activating the Labose flower.]]
182	* WalkingSpoiler: To talk more about him here would be spoiling pretty much a lot of info.
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Saintess Clara]]
186	[[quoteright:591:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled118.png]]
187	[[caption-width-right:591:''I'll wait for the day we meet again, Kaden. Anytime, anywhere.'']]
188	As one of the main characters of ''Dungeon Link,'' Clara is a Saintess who utilizes [[WhiteMagic Holy Magic]] to heal people. Kaden had set out to find the sword of the prophecy foretold by the gods, and invited Clara to assist him in that quest. While grateful, she had to reject the offer because she had other duties to tend to. Namely, to help the bedeviled citizens of Kanterbury's countryside, who are suffering from fateful plague outbreaks after the destruction of the WorldTree [[TheMagicGoesAway deprived much of humanity of Holy Magic.]] However she had been blessed by Prometheia, which means that she can use Holy Magic to her discretion, so she opted to help the suffering people beyond the kingdom's walls. They had promised to [[ReunionVow reunite after a decade...]] though it appeared that fate had other intentions for them.
189	->'''Species:''' Human

192	->For what she is now, see the [[Characters/GuardianTalesFireUniqueHeroes Fire Unique Heroes]] page on the Bound Child.
193
194	----
195	* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: This, along with the typical {{Brainwashing}}, is why she's such a fanatical enforcer of the [[ScaryAmoralReligion Chosen One Cult.]]
196	* BequeathedPower: Her use of Holy Magic, in spite of the destruction of the World Tree, stems from [[TopGod Prometheia's]] gift.
197	* DemonicPossession: [[WildMassGuessing She may or may not]] have been possessed, at least in part, by the rogue fragments of a Demon God. After all, her weapon, and the instrument of her torture, is called the Fragments of [[Characters/GuardianTalesFireUniqueHeroes Paimon.]]
198	* DespairEventHorizon: After months of sustained torture at the hands of [[Characters/GuardianTalesWaterUniqueHeroes Veronica,]] eventually Clara just... ''gave up.''
199	* DramaticIrony: She was turned into an EmptyShell by the Cult of the Chosen One... the same cult who practically ''worships'' her old friend, Kaden. Not only does she not know ''why'' she's suffering the way she was, but even if she did, the truth would be far worse then she could imagine [[spoiler:and [[FallenHero not just because of the insane cult.]]]]
200	* FateWorseThanDeath: She was turned into a {{brainwashed}} EmptyShell by Veronica, who can no longer think for herself and, every now and then, becomes BlindedByRage and cannot tell [[FriendOrFoe friend from foe.]]
201	* FountainOfYouth: Months of ColdBloodedTorture at the hands of Veronica ''[[NoOneShouldSurviveThat should've]]'' killed her, as it would anyone else in her position, but the only reason she survived was because of her immense and potent Holy Magic, which she was forced to use to repair herself after every night. Eventually, either the use of regenerative magic purged any of the cellular degradation that comes with age, or her body cannibalized itself to the point where it ''looks like'' she de-aged, so that it could supply her with the mana to continue casting, but the [[Characters/GuardianTalesFireUniqueHeroes effects were clear.]]
202	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Before her brainwashing by Veronica, she is depicted as a very kind, compassionate, and selfless cleric who wants to heal and help others in need while she was perceived as a witch by others.
203	* HumanPopsicle: Dismayed by the fact that the present world (the world from 500 years ago) refused to accept her, she froze herself in the hypersleep chambers beneath Kanterbury in anticipation of the world of the future, the era in which the Invaders are prophesied to attack and there would be people in need of aid, and when she hopes people would've forgotten about the Holy Magic debacle and accept her.
204	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: She went out into the world with her best intentions, only to be attacked wherever she went on the grounds that people thought she was a witch. This was because she was apart of the Hero Party, and though their reasons were benign- [[IDidWhatIHadToDo burning the World Tree the only way they could protect humanity from]] [[FinalSolution being destroyed by Vellenus-]] this had the side effect of causing Holy Magic to disappear from the world, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero causing the suffering in the first place,]] and it seemed [[PoorCommunicationKills few other people knew why they did what they did,]] so one can understand why they were suspicious of the one person who had Holy Magic, who also just so happened to be apart of that same Hero Party.
205	* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: Hypothetically, she should've died from Veronica's torture. But as stated above in the FountainOfYouth index, her regenerative magic consistently saved her from near death.
206	* ReunionVow: Kaden gave her a magical communication device so that they would never be separated in the future. When she needs help, or even when he needs help, all that they have to do is ping the other and wait.
207	* ShipTease: With Kaden. Clara remarks to herself that she "feels butterflies in her stomach every now and then" when she sees him.
208	* UngratefulTownsfolk: After Clara helped nursed back to good health (though she herself admitted that they would still have to be nursed for many weeks more) some villagers at Kanterbury's outskirts, she was running a tight schedule so she had to leave far sooner than she would have liked. However, this enraged the villagers, who began berating and accusing her of being a phony. Apparently, the villagers had been "abandoned" by other healers in the past and were lambasting Clara for almost doing the same thing.
209	* WeWillMeetAgain: Clara said this at least twice in the first [[InGameNovel Expedition Archives.]] [[spoiler:[[IronicEcho Which is quite funny,]] because now this line's one of [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes Kaden's]] favorites.]]
210	* WhiteMagicianGirl: She's a member of the Hero Party from ''Dungeon Link'' with a generally selfless, compassionate personality, who enthusiatically went out into the Kanterburian countryside to nurse back to health the injured and infected ruralites using [[WhiteMagic Holy Magic,]] bestowed unto her by [[TopGod Prometheia,]] because they couldn't help themselves after the destruction of the World Tree.
211	[[/folder]]
212
213	[[folder:The Invaders]]
214	AlienInvaders whose attack on [[DoomedHometown the Kanterbury kingdom]] is what prompts [[PlayerCharacter the Knight]] to begin their quest. They are the primary antagonists of the game.
215	----
216	* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: The ''Invader Coverage'' short story reveals that the Invaders consider themselves to be the only true humans while those on the planet are some sort of contaminated imitation. Considering that they often have horns and sometimes tails, purple or orange skin, and the one invader we get a close examination of seems to be more visually similar to the in-game demon species, how truthful this is is a mystery.]][[spoiler: Beth implies they can grow stronger, but doing so is a sin of the highest caliber as they would lose their "humanity" by doing so, and considering how they look normally...]]
217	* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: The '''Invader Quest''' movie during the ''Once Upon A Time In Burywood'' side story, where the Invaders are portrayed as a BenevolentAlienInvasion saving the citizens of Kanterbury from the tyranny of [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the royal family]] and [[LegionOfDoom the Guardians]]. Given how the Invaders see themselves, this may be MetaphoricallyTrue to them.
218	* CastingAShadow: Invader-type enemies are usually of the Dark element if they aren't Fire.
219	* DarkMessiah: A few of them mention a "Savior" that they almost seem to worship. Who they are is unknown.[[spoiler:.. Until World 11 Nightmare, that is.]]
220	* DealWithTheDevil: They offer deals to people influential enough to be useful to them. These deals usually promise safety and power if the target betrays their group to the Invaders. As with most deals of this sort, the Invaders are always given favor while the victim rarely gets what they want.
221	* DegradedBoss: [[spoiler:Super Invaders]] become a lot less deadly after the initial encounters in World 10 with them.
222	* DynamicEntry: There are quite a few instances early on of Invaders beaming down large groups directly onto whoever's day they want to ruin. Not to mention the prologue, where you're just going through Guardian training like it's a normal day, and then a massive spaceship pops up and starts bombing the hell out of the kingdom.
223	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[EveryoneCallsThemBarkeep They call themselves Invaders.]] They're invading. [[spoiler: At least, that's what they tell everyone else...]]
224	* {{Expy}}: Possibly one to [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime the Shroobs]], being a mainly purple alien race who invades the protagonists' home planet due to their own being rendered uninhabitable, and perform horrific experiments on the life of the planet they're invading.
225	* FantasticRacism: Almost all Invaders despise the people of the planet. Many Invaders express visceral disgust when having to interact with them outside of slaughtering them in battle or experimentation.
226	* FinalSolution: They plan to 'cleanse' the planet of the 'contaminated'.
227	* FlamingHair: Seems to be a thing amongst most Invader mooks.
228	* ForTheEvulz: They're known for including needlessly cruel components to their plans and attacks out of sheer sadism towards the 'contaminated'.
229	* GreaterScopeVillain: When they're not directly involved, they're this, whether by someone using their tech, the fallout after their invasion, or someone commentating about them in passing. The only time they're not involved or even mentioned at all is during the ''Folktale'' side-story and [[Literature/{{Slayers}} Slayers]] collab event, where you've travelled back in time to before the invasion. [[spoiler:That said, the Savior implies there's someone else pulling the strings behind everyone, INCLUDING them. Who they are is unknown, but the fact that they can string along someone like [[TheDreaded the Savior]] says a lot...]]
230	* HigherTechSpecies: The Guardian Tales verse is firmly in SchizoTech territory. The Invaders have fully-fledged '''spaceships''', and if the ''Rue the Red Christmas Day'' side-story is any indication they can field entire fleets at once.
231	* HorrorHunger: Quite a few Invaders talk about eating their prey, but it's because of "antibodies", a theme later enforced when you find a factory in the Unrecorded World that is processing people into pills. Whatever they're trying to protect against is currently unknown, although it's implied to be [[spoiler:Labose]].
232	* LargeAndInCharge: Invader Commanders are massive, and then there's the Dark Magician leading them.
233	* LivingBattery: The Invaders use the [[LifeEnergy bioenergy]] of the "Tainted Beings" they capture as power sources for their machinery. The fact that this can involve draining multiple captives to death to charge one cell is seen as a [[KickTheDog bonus]].
234	* TheManBehindTheMan: Most of the chapter villains are either allied with them or were empowered/awoken by them and their technology.
235	* NotAlwaysEvil: There are a few Invaders that aren't so onboard with the LeaveNoSurvivors attitude.

Given that the heroes have barely held off these small forces, she flatly tells them that they have no chance of survival as they are now.]]
