10	::'''Annika Sirenia'''
11
12	-->''"Always bring a gun to a knife fight. Add a fist for good measure, and a chair, if you really want to be sure."''
13
14	Second Princess of Sirene and youngest of Kaiser Alfons' three children. A Captain in the Imperial Navy, she gets stranded on a DesertIsland for a few months after being forced to AbandonShip in the Disaster of Nations. After escaping, she eventually finds a Sirenian Colony with a somewhat sympathetic governor, where she acquires command of another ship. She has once again been sent to Port Allison, this time to broker a deal with its corrupt government that would further Sirenian Interests. Notably an expy of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya.

17	Annika embodies the following tropes:
18
19	* BlingOfWar
20	* TheCaptain
21	* CombatPragmatist
22	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower - Somewhere between this and her family's SuperpowerfulGenetics. All three siblings have a degree SuperStrength, but Annika ''works out'', allowing her to pick up a ship cannon, fire it from the hip, and then use it as a bludgeoning weapon afterwards.
23	* CuteBruiser
24	* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry - She tends to be compared to her LadyOfWar older sister, and tends to come out as AlwaysSecondBest. She doesn't like that.
25	* GoingDownWithTheShip - She tries to invoke this during the Disaster of Nations, but her First Mate forces her out of it.
26	* GratuitousGerman
27	* ImprobableAge - Captain at age 18, thanks to her connections.
28	* LeeroyJenkins
29	* MoreDakka - When using a firearm, she straps a pair of bandoliers across her chest. Also, her main weapon is a breech-loading rifle with a higher rate of fire than most weapons of the day.
30	* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight - Invokes this a lot.
31	* TheNeidermeyer - Owing to her personal tactics (or lack thereof).
32	* RebelliousPrincess
33	* RedBaron - Annika is widely known as "Princess Bruiser".
34	* {{Robinsonade}}
35	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Something of a requirement. ''All'' Sirenian Princesses must be badass.
36	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections - Let's just say that Annika abused her connections for a lot of things, from graduating at a high rank from the academy despite problematic grades, to getting new ships under her command even after losing a grand total of three already.
37	* SiblingYinYang - Her older sister is graceful, knows how to play the StandardRoyalCourt, and is an excellent tactician. She's rough, doesn't care about her royal station, and prefers to rush in with no plan.
38	* WrongGenreSavvy - Painting a ship bright red does not automatically [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority make it better than other ships]]. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to understand that.

44	::'''Elsa van Dorst'''
45
46	-->''"If the only possession the world truly gives you is your name, then the only thing you can truly give, as something that you truly own, is your name."''
47
48	A product of Remillia's top secret Engelmacht Project, Elsa was sent to Port Allison as part of a large task force to disrupt the Avelian operation there. Unfortunately for her, the operation went awry when both Avelia and Sirene also had their own armies of spies and assassins present. Left alone with a single junior comrade, Monique, Elsa hatches a plan to escape the island and return to Remillia. Although after four months (and Monique's lonely death), it has yet to come to fruition.
49
50	----
51	Elsa embodies the following tropes:
52
53	* BladeBelowTheShoulder - Uses Katars for melee combat.
54	* CloakAndDagger
55	* ColdSniper - She's a crack shot with a rifle.
56	* DeliberatelyCuteChild
57	* DueToTheDead - Elsa buries her OnlyFriend Monique at the foot of a special tree and inscribes her NomDeGuerre on it.
58	* EarnYourTitle - "Baraquiel". See MeaningfulName below.
59	* IKEAWeaponry - The carbine she keeps in her violin case.
60	* TheIngenue - Invoked as her specific variation of the DeliberatelyCuteChild
61	* MeaningfulName - The closest thing she has to a real name is her NomDeGuerre "Baraquiel" ("Lightning of God"), which she got for being the fastest member of her training batch.
62	* NaturalizedName - Her alias in Avelia is "Isabel de Sica".
63	* NeverBareheaded- Never seen without her beret.
64	* NietzscheWannabe - Believes in a 'Morality of the World', wherein "if the world lets it happen, then it must be moral". This includes death, suffering, and all those bad, bad things.
65	* OjouRinglets
66	* TheOnlyOneICanTrust - As with all Angels, Elsa will only give her NomDeGuerre to somebody she absolutely trusts.
67	* {{Robinsonade}} - A variant thereof. Port Allison is relatively "civilised", as far as extremely corrupt and violent colonies go, but she's still stranded as there hasn't been a ship to or from Remillia in over three months, directly or otherwise. And it's still not safe here.
68	* SenselessViolins
69	* TheSpartanWay - Her training included fighting naked in the Arctic against a polar bear one-on-one with nothing but a single katar.
70	* TykeBomb
71	* YouAreNumberSix - She is officially known as EMB-54A-87. "Elsa van Dorst" is just a CodeName.
