7

9	----
10	%%* AmnesiacDissonance:
11	* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be a humanoid Sentinel created by the Northern Forces.]]
12	* DualityMotif: His hair is black with strands of white that hint to his connection with Elgar.
13	* FacialMarkings: [[spoiler:After forming a pact with Zephie, he gets a Sentinel mark on the left side of his face.]]
14	* HappilyAdopted: He views Melissa as an older sister after she took him in and gave him his name. [[spoiler:Her supposed death is what causes him to join up with the resistance.]]
15	* MysticalWhiteHair: [[spoiler:His hair becomes completely white after Zephie makes a blood pact with him to save his life.]]
16	* NonElemental: Strength Kan. On the upside, he can store it.

22
23	[[folder:Zephie]]
24	!!Rzephillda Grena "Zephie" Berlinette
25
26	The princess of Lanzheim, who is the rightful heir to the throne after her mother's assassination. She fights on the front lines, which the Southern Forces officials do not approve of.
27	----
28	* BlowYouAway: Of course she will. She's a powerful wind wizard, after all.
29	* MeaningfulName: Her name is based on the word "zephyr", meaning "gentle breeze", which reflects her wind wizardry.
30	* PaperFanOfDoom: Zephie's other weapon option is a large fan on a long stick.
31	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the founder and leader of the Counter-Sentinel Unit--and by leader, we mean she fights on the front lines, too.
32	----
33	[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder:Argo]]
36	!!Argo Kindu
37
38	A member of the Trewa race, and a former chieftain of them who lost his position after the Northern Forces destroyed his clan. He joined the Counter-Sentinel Unit because of this.
39	----
40	* MyGreatestFailure: He failed in his duty as Bluemoon chieftain to protect his people from the Blackhorn Trewa, which eventually led him to joining the Southern Forces.
41	* NobleBirdOfPrey mixed with OurDragonsAreDifferent
42	* NonElemental: Strength Kan. Unlike wizardry-focused characters like Zephie and Crocell, whose Kan are tied to the environment, he can store Strength Kan within his body.
43	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Previously chieftan of the Bluemoon Trewa. Interestingly, it is not the Trewa's ability to fight that Argo holds in high regard, but their nomadic ways as "the free folk".
44	* TheStoic
45	--> '''Zephie (during battle)''': Argo, you're always calm. You can make the right judgment.
46	----
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Crocell]]
50	!!Crocell Reeden
51	A fire wizard whose parents were killed early in the civil war. After Zephie saved his life from the same fate, he joined the Counter-Sentinel Unit in part to repay her.
52	----
53	* AllThereInTheManual: The artbook mentions that Crocell's parents and younger sister were all killed in Schuenzeit's purging of the nobles.
54	* BlueBlood: [[spoiler:The Reeden family was part of Belfort's lower nobility.]]
55	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: He's fighting the Northern Forces for killing his family.
56	* FieryRedhead: Granted, it's more magenta-ish, but otherwise he's got the personality down to a tee.
57	* HiddenDepths: For all his confidence in his fire wizardry in battle, Crocell doesn't like to draw attention to the fact that he used to be nobility, especially now that he's a soldier for the Southern Forces.
58	* IOweYouMyLife: During the purges on the nobility, Crocell came close to death until Zephie saved him. This led to him joining her in the Counter-Sentinel Unit.
59	* NoHeroToHisValet: {{Inverted}}. His servant Marith is probably the only person he is openly kind to.
60	* PlayingWithFire: His wizardry element.
61	* PowerFist: Two different types, magical and physical.
62	* {{Troll}}: He enjoys picking on Juto. Eventually goes into VitriolicBestBuds territory, even after [[spoiler:learning Juto's original identity]].
63	----
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder:Celestine]]
67	!!Celestine Roaa
68	A young member of the Mare people who joins the Counter-Sentinel Unit. Her mother died when she was young, and believes her father died as well. In truth, her father was a mercenary [[GoingNative gone native]] and left after her mother's death, only to be turned into a Sentinel by the Northern Forces.
69	----
70	* AnIcePerson: Advertised as MakingASplash, Celestine uses water wizardry, which takes form as ice-based attacks.
71	* DisappearedDad: Her father, a human mercenary known as Vaizen the Silver, had left Cota Mare in heartbreak after Celestine's mother died. Before he did so, he entrusted Mare Chieftain Keitan with his daughter's well-being. [[spoiler:Following this thread, Celestine and the crew learn that Vaizen was captured by the Northern Forces, then turned into a Sentinel in an experiment gone wrong. The group later finds Vaizen's calcified Sentinel remains, where Vaizen's spirit exchanges words with his daughter before finally passing on.]]
72	* GenkiGirl: ''Ohhhhhh'', yup. Very freaking much so.
73	* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mother was a Mare and she finds out that her father was actually human.
74	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her other weapons options is a pair of bottles of ''incense''. Mare-made incense, in fairness, is surprisingly effective on the Counter-Sentinel Unit.
75	* InterspeciesRomance: With Argo. It's completely one-sided.
76	* ShipperOnDeck: When Juto and Zephie discuss [[spoiler:Juto's Sentinel powers]], she thinks they are trying to declare their love for each other.
77	* WaterIsWomanly: Celestine is a friendly, girly Water Wizard.
78	* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's actually 12 years old, but the rapid aging of the Mare people makes her look like a young adult.
79	----
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Rue]]
83	!!Siara Rue Tessia, a.k.a. Rue
84
85	A woman who is Zephie's loyal guardian. She tries not to show any emotion, and firmly believes (like the Southern Forces generals) that Zephie should never be put into harm's way.
86	----
87	* AllThereInTheManual: Her full name.
88	%%* FuumaShuriken:
89	* FlatCharacter: Possibly {{invoked}}: as part of Rue's bodyguard training, she was taught to repress her emotions in order to best serve the Princess. As a result, Rue acts formal and stiff. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Not even marriage proposals addressed towards herself will sway her]]. No matter what happens, Rue always puts Zephie's safety first, to the point that it seems as though it's her ''only'' concern in-game. Though she gets a ''little'' development, in the second character drama and the ending.
90	** The in-game Cube letters give her more characterization, as both Zephie's closest confidant in the Unit and someone who wants her to be happy.
91	* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her other available weapon style.
92	* LadyOfWar: She uses graceful 'katana' or 'shuriken' styles, and maintains an air of cool, detached competency throughout the entire story. Celestine thinks she's cool.
93	* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: Her full name is never spoken and she's instead referred to as Rue.
94	* ShockAndAwe: She wields lightning Kan in battle.
95	* UndyingLoyalty: Is unfailingly loyal to the Princess.
96	* WhenSheSmiles: According to Celestine, she has a beautiful smile. In actuality, it's a OffModel look after completing the side quest where it happens.

99
100	!The Northern Forces
101
102	[[folder:Schuenzeit]]
103	!!Schuenzeit Baren
104
105	The former Prime Minister, who assassinated the Queen Ibrin for reasons unknown and seized control of Lanzheim.
106	----
107	* [[spoiler:AGodAmI: Sees himself as the creator of Lanzheim's "paradise".]]
108	* ParentalSubstitute: Was one to Zephie, filling the void left by her father's early passing. This made his betrayal--killing her mother Queen Ibrin and seizing Lanzheim's throne--a complete shock to her.
109	* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist: Strauss has been perpetuating the cycle of war in Lanzheim to power La Strada and keep the continent prosperous. Unfortunately, he's already far down the deep end by the present.]]
110	----
111	[[/folder]]
112
113	[[folder:Claire]]
114	!!Claire Setilan
115
116	Schuenzeit's right-hand woman.
117	----
118	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: First appears to the Counter-Sentinel Unit, leading them to pursue her. The result is that the Princess's group is separated from their main force, and Claire summons a Sentinel on the party before escaping.
119	* IOweYouMyLife: Her UndyingLoyalty to Schuenzeit is because he'd saved her life in the past.
120	----
121	[[/folder]]
122
123	[[folder:Huaren]]
124	!!Huaren Jass
125
126	A scientist who leads Schuenzeit's Sentinel project.
127	----
128	* MadScientist: Enjoys his work in the twisted field of Sentinel research. The chance to do so was why he'd joined Schuenzeit.
129	* ProfessorGuineaPig: He appears to be either a mutated old man, or an old man in a mutated suit of some kind. Whatever the case, the fact is that Huaren did this to himself.
130	----
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Elgar]]
134	!!Elgar the Regicide
135
136	The assassin who killed Queen Ibrin, and the original Sentinel. [[spoiler:The Elgar that Juto encounters throughout the game is actually "Second Elgar", brought to life to replace First Elgar after he disappeared.]]
137	----
138	* TheDreaded: Even the Northern Forces fear him.
139	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Elgar the '''Regicide'''. He's the man who killed Queen Ibrin. [[spoiler:{{Averted}} with Zephie; Schuenzeit ordered Elgar not to harm her under any circumstances.]]
140	** {{Subverted}} in [[AllThereInTheManual an online short novel]]; Schuenzeit is the one who killed Ibrin, not Elgar.
141	----
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	!The Southern Forces
145	[[folder:Alex]]
146	!!Count Alex, Lord of Abazet
147
148	The leader of the Southern Forces, a noble who Zephie joined up with while fleeing from Schuenzeit. [[spoiler:Actually in cahoots with Schuenzeit.]]
149	----
150	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Alex agreed to back Zephie with the Southern Forces with the promise of marriage when the war ended. Specifically, he would become Queen Rzephillda's husband, not a ruler himself. [[spoiler:Schuenzeit scoffs at Alex being merely satisfied with being married to Zephie, and persuades him to rule Lanzheim as its new ''king''. Thus when the Counter-Sentinel Unit encounters him on their way to La Strada, [[SubvertedTrope Alex fights them with the aim of killing Zephie.]]]]
151	%%* [[spoiler: BeardOfEvil]]
152	* EvilAllAlong. Not that the game even tries to hide it.
153	* {{Jerkass}}: In his first cutscene, he callously dismisses Zephie's insistence that the Southern Forces should liberate Highwind Island from the Northern Forces, which [[TalkToTheFist incenses Juto into punching him]].
154	* SmugSnake: Alex is introduced with a slimy smirk after Zephie, Argo, and Juto reach Abazet. He acts content with the knowledge that he will marry Zephie when the war ends, to the displeasure of the Counter-Sentinel Unit members. ''Especially'' Juto.
155	----
156	[[/folder]]
157
158	[[folder:Raud]]
159	!!Commander Raud
160
161	The aide-de-camp of the Southern Forces, and former captain of the guard for Queen Ibrin.
162	----
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	!Others
166
167	[[folder:Strass]]
168	!!Strass
169
170	[[spoiler:The great hero who ended the Great Carta War 1000 years ago, by committing genocide on the Carta race. He then used their Kan to power his kamond, and made up for it by also powering La Strada so that no-one would ever have to farm again. This didn't quite work out, as it runs out approximately every 150 years. He makes more Kan by starting a war with a clone of himself.]]

178
179	[[folder:Igton]]
180	!!Igton Pin
181
182	A member of the Avis race, who takes delight in spamming the people of Lanzheim through their Cube Mail with educational emails. He gets kidnapped by the Northern Forces and rescued by the Counter-Sentinel Unit later on in the game, when he helps them out.
183	----
184	* {{Spammer}}: He exploits the fact that if you don't put a recipient on Cube Mail, ''everyone'' gets it.
185	----
186	[[/folder]]
187
188	[[folder:Melissa]]
189	!!Melissa Tiss
190
191	Juto's surrogate big sister, who takes care of him and bosses him about on Highwind Island. She is killed by Elgar very early on, leading to Juto joining the Counter-Sentinel Unit to avenge her. [[spoiler:She is not actually killed, but turned into a Sentinel and joins the Northern Forces. When she undergoes her Sentinel transformation, the party is forced to kill her.]]
192	----
193	%%* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath]]
194	%%* FieryRedhead:
195	* GuestStarPartyMember: At the beginning [[spoiler:and on the second disc.]]
196	* ILetGwenStacyDie: Juto feels immense guilt over Melissa dying to Elgar the way she did.
197	* [[spoiler:MercyKill: Subjected to this when Claire's "modifications" to Melissa transform her into a monster.]]
198	* [[spoiler:VillainsNeverLie: She believes this. It doesn't last forever, luckily, but by then it's too late for her.]]
199	----
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	[[folder:Nix]]
203	!!Nix
204
205	A scientist who developed the humanoid Sentinels.
206	----
207	* DefectorFromDecadence: He'd initially participated in the Sentinel research for money; [[spoiler:but after a series of events, including First Elgar's disappearance, Nix refused to go any further with it (which gets him dragged into an unused lab as a prisoner). When First Elgar returns as Juto, Nyx decides to help him and the others find the Princess.]]
