8	[[folder:Clarissa Arwin]]
9	!!Clarissa Arwin
10	A young woman Drifter who hates lies and carries a mysterious weapon named Strahl Gewehr. She bears a striking resemblance to the late Princess Alexia.
11	----
12	* AncestralWeapon: [[spoiler:Because Clarissa is actually Alexia Elesius, Strahl Gewehr is her ancestral weapon and is traditionally used as part of the ritual in talking to the Guardians.]]
13	* BadassCape: Her second costume.
14	* CastFromHitPoints: Her Sacrifice ability, which is unique to her.
15	* EmpathicWeapon: Strahl Gewehr.
16	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Clarissa's first hair and outfit change reflect her willingness to live the lie in order to save the people of Elesius. She changes it again once when she [[spoiler: travels back in time and meets her deceased mother again.]]
17	* FreudianSlip: [[spoiler:After Strahl Gewer sends Chevalet Blanc to the past, they wind up meeting and escorting Melissa Arwin. Clarissa almost blows away the group's cover by once calling her "Mother", but, fortunately, Melissa may have not caught on.]]
18	* GirlishPigtails: Her final costume.
19	* GirlsWithGuns: Fight with a pair of pistols.
20	* TheGunslinger: Her unique class, Dandelion Shot.
21	* HumanShield: [[spoiler:Clarissa unknowingly becomes one to Rupert when she takes him to Melissa, since Mel wouldn't want to use Iskender Bey on an ObviouslyEvil Drifter with her daughter close to him.]]
22	* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for [[spoiler:believing Rupert's lies, which ended in Melissa's death.]]
23	%%* JackOfAllStats
24	* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Clarissa kills King Hrathnir (her biological father) at his request as part of his HeroicSacrifice. What she doesn't know, and never finds out.]]
25	* SwitchedAtBirth: [[spoiler:With Alexia, although not actually "at birth". The real Clarissa was wearing an imitation of the princess's dress, and both were caught under the same falling rubble. The two girls were mixed up when rescued.]]
26	* TookALevelInBadass: Both throughout the game and again in the manga by just looking at her "11 years after" look.
27	* YouKilledMyMother: Clarissa's motivation for chasing Rupert into Elesius is initially implied to her trying to get her mother's sword back. It's later revealed that Rupert murdered Melissa before stealing Iskender Bey, and [[spoiler:tricked Clarissa into helping him do it, explaining why she hates lies so much.]]
28	[[/folder]]
29
30	[[folder:Felius Arwin]]
31	!!Felius Arwin
32	Clarissa's adopted brother with a MysteriousPast. He seeks to protect Clarissa no matter the cost.
33	----
34	* BadassLongcoat: Unusually for this trope, it's buckled up rather than left open. It's still badass, though.
35	* FailureKnight: Felius was this originally. He's been with Clarissa long enough as of the start of the game that the devotion is slightly less creepy.
36	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the ending, he destroys the Lombardia with himself aboard to save Filgaea and Elw Borea. The follow-up manga reveals he may not be dead, however.]]
37	* TheLancer: To Clarissa. (Literally, too, since he uses a spear.)
38	* OurElvesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Felius is actually an Elw, the ''VideoGame/WildArms'' version of elves.]]
39	* ReplacementGoldfish: Melissa, and later Clarissa, for Yulia.
40	%%* TooManyBelts
41	[[/folder]]
42
43	[[folder:Alexia Lynn Elesius]]
44	!!Alexia Lynn Elesius
45	The eldest princess of Elesius, she seeks to continue her father's work and change Elesius from a land bloated by conquest to a kingdom full of peace.
46	----
47	* ActionInitiative: Her Leader's Duty passive guarantees that she take the first turn in battle.
48	* {{BFS}}: Iskender Bey and the other swords of her base class, Royal Fencer.
49	** EmpathicWeapon
50	** AncestralWeapon: [[spoiler:Since Alexia is actually Clarissa Arwin, and is thus descended from Yulia, Iskender Bey is not only her ancestral weapon, but she is the only living person who can wield it.]]
51	* DeadpanSnarker: Her response to being called "Rebel scum!" by some enemies is to not only declare how easy they are to beat, but their inability to come up with original one-liners.
52	* DistressedDamsel: Held captive by Edna for almost two years before she's finally rescued by Clarissa.
53	* ImportantHaircut: Princess Alexia cuts her hair to use as a rope to save Clarissa.
54	%%* LadyOfWar
55	* LetsGetDangerous: When she gets her ARM back and officially joins the party, [[https://imgur.com/a/Id6lfKW her face in the CG image]] just screams she's ready to leap into battle.
56	* MissingMom: What exactly happened to her is never addressed. Presumably she is dead.
57	* MightyGlacier: She has the lowest natural speed when compared to other characters, but she can dish out large damage.
58	* NeverFoundTheBody: Naturally, since she's not dead.
59	* PimpedOutDress: It's a pink princess dress. With ''armor''.
60	* SwitchedAtBirth: [[spoiler:With Clarissa, although not actually "at birth". She was wearing an imitation of the real Princess Alexia's dress, and both were caught under the same falling rubble. The two girls were mixed up when rescued.]]
61	* WalkingSpoiler: As the tropes above shows, she is alive and will join the party.
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder:Labyrinthia Wordsworth]]
65	!!Labyrinthia Wordsworth
66	Former tutor to Alexia and other noble children and court magician. She is on the run from the Council when she mistakes Clarissa for Princess Alexia. She lacks humility, has a weird fascination with Clarissa's costumes, and is defensive about the fact that she's 34 years old.
67	----
68	* CatchPhrase: "A very capable woman, you know."
69	* CompetenceZone: Laby is twice Clarissa's age and has insecurities to match, since, after all, one is far into one's decline by the mid-thirties.
70	* DoppelgangerAttack: She can create a clone of herself as a distraction or to help solve puzzles.
71	* {{Expy}}: She bears a resemblance to [[VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia Captain Clara]], especially her in-game model.
72	* HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler:King Hrathnir dies.]] It leaves her open to getting captured by the Martial Guard.
73	* TheRedMage: As an Arcanist, she has both offensive and healing magic.
74	* ShockAndAwe: Her base class's Lightning ability.
75	* SquishyWizard: Her base class, Arcanist, has the best magic stats in the game, but is very slow and very squishy.
76	%%* TheStrategist
77	* TeleportSpam: The best use of her Warp ability, which is unique to her.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Levin Brenton]]
81	!!Levin Brenton
82	A reckless, idealistic and [[{{Keet}} loud]] young man who has a crush on both Alexia and Clarissa. His father, the head of the PraetorianGuard, disowned him when he ran away to join the princess' rebellion (though more because Captain Eisen works side-by-side with the villains than because he thinks Levin's wrong).
83	----
84	* LeeroyJenkins: At first. He gets better after CharacterDevelopment.
85	* LoveTriangle: Levin has a crush on both Clarissa and Alexia. Even in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue he hasn't made up his mind yet. (What either of them think of him is never particularly explored.)
86	* MissingMom: His mother is dead.
87	* NonElemental: His Blast magic skill.
88	* FragileSpeedster: His magic stats aren't that great and his defense is terrrible, but his base class's movement, reflex, and climb are some of the best in the game. He even has an attack that's damage is based on the difference between his and his target's reflex score.
89	* WellDoneSonGuy: Pretty much sums up Levin's relationship with his father.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Ragnar Blitz Lebrett]]
93	!!Ragnar Blitz Lebrett
94	A Drifter whose home and family were destroyed by Elesius' constant wars of conquest. He came to the country looking to destroy it, but over time amends his goals to include sticking around to help rebuild the nation into something better.
95	----
96	* ChekhovsGunman: He first pops up in the ruins of Poliasha after the Martial Guard razes the town. GenreSavvy players might immediately catch on to his importance since he's so far the only NPC that doesn't suffer from OnlySixFaces.
97	* DatingCatwoman: Ragnar vs. Chelle, TheDragon of the Zortroa Kinship; they even both have the Raving Revenge move.
98	* LightningBruiser: Other than his ability with magic, which is pretty weak, he's pretty much the strongest character on the team with higher ATK, DEF, MOV, CLM and RFX than most of the others in the party (except those who excel at those stats), his base class also has better all-around attack range than most of the classes (Clarissa can shoot further, but Ragnar loses no attack strength for his distance).
99	* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: His base class's weapon and skill "Orbital Ring".
100	* RealMenWearPink: One of the tallest and most imposing of Chevalet Blanc, but also an expert sewer (he helped design Clarissa's third outfit) and cook.
101	* {{Revenge}}: Pretty much his whole purpose in life at the point the party meets him.
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Tony]]
105	!!Tony
106	A white dog that belongs to Labrynthia. He is unusually fond of Clarissa from the moment they meet.
107	----
108	%%* BigFriendlyDog
109	* CrutchCharacter: Tony's inability to change character class and lack of native skills means he becomes less and less useful as the game goes on. By mid-game, the player will probably have replaced him on their team with a {{Player Mook\|s}}.
110	* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Literally, since he's Lucied. His special ability is what allows the party to damage the Fear Clysmian.]]
111	%%* EvilDetectingDog
112	* GodWasMyCoPilot: [[spoiler:Tony is revealed to be Luceid, the Guardian of Desire. Only the player realizes this, though.]]
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	!Antagonists
116	[[folder:Rupert Dandridge]]
117	!!Rupert Dandridge
118	A ruthless Drifter who will do anything and kill anyone to get what he wants. He killed Melissa Arwin in front of both Clarissa and Felius and stole Iskender Bey. He is currently in the employ of the kingdom of Elesius.
119	----
120	* DeathByIrony: He is killed by [[spoiler:Alexia, who is Melissa's real daughter raised as a princess.]]
121	* DirtyCoward: Attempts to flee the country after the rebels begin to turn the tables. [[spoiler:He fails.]]
122	* TheDragon: To the government.
123	* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls Chevalet Blanc on trying pragmatic tactics several times, but it really applies more to him than anyone else.
124	%%* DualWielding
125	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Rupert decides to finally go ScrewThisImOuttaHere once he's fallen out of Charlton's favor for the last time. But Charlton uses Rupert's desertion (he knows Clarissa would still go after Iskender Bey) as a means to buy more time to prepare a new superweapon.]]
126	[[/folder]]
127
128	[[folder:Weisheit]]
129	!!Weisheit
130	Also known as the "Death Merchant", Weisheit is an arms dealer who has a long-standing relationship with the monarchy of Elesius. [[spoiler: He's actually Kressen, one of the heroes of Elw Borea who later went rogue and had to be imprisoned. He's seeking revenge against Felius and a way back to Elw Borea so he can conquer it (or, failing that, destroy it).]]
131	----
132	* AlmightyJanitor: Refers to himself as a "lowly merchant". Of course, everyone who knows the name "Weisheit" is wise to his facade.
133	* AmbiguousGender: Rupert even comments on it. [[spoiler: In reality, "he" is a male consciousness (Kressen) possessing a female body.]]
134	* BigBad
135	* BodySurf: [[spoiler:How he survived so long, and what he plans to do to Felius.]]
136	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Videogame/FinalfantasyIX Kuja]]. Both are androgynous [[ArmsDealer Arms Dealers]] who are revealed to be [[spoiler:aliens with a grudge for one of the main characters (Felius and Zidane) who is also an alien]] and have a [[HiddenAgendaVillain hidden agenda]]. Also, both antagonists supply the fat female ruler of a country with an army of supernatural beings (Black Mages for Queen Brahne, and zombies for Edna).
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Charlton Blunt]]
140	!!Charlton Blunt
141	The chairman of the Council of Elder Statesmen, which makes him the unofficial ruler of Elesius while the king is bedridden and his only heir has not passed the trial to make her eligible to rule. He wishes to restore the kingdom to what it was before: an aggressive, expansionist empire.
142	----
143	* TheChessmaster
144	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He increasingly grows more disdainful of Edna and Rupert's habitual cowardice. He also seems to show respect to Labyrinthia to a degree.
145	* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking
146	* LastStand
147	* {{Necromancer}}
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Edna Warren]]
151	!!Edna Warren
152	The religious leader of Elesius, Edna is a selfish and cowardly woman who works to control Elesius from the shadows.
153	----
154	* BigBeautifulWoman: She's fat but well-groomed with a fancy dress, make up, and jewelry. She also has an ample chest. Her beauty is pretty much her only (classically) positive trait.
155	* DirtyCoward
156	* FatBitch
157	* SmugSnake
158	* TheStarscream
159	* TheUnfought: Sadly. It would be very cathartic to beat her bloody.
160	[[/folder]]
161
162	[[folder:The Tormenta Triad]]
163	!!Tormenta Triad
164	A group of three brothers named [[AnIcePerson Lluvia]], [[ShockAndAwe Trueno]], and [[BlowYouAway Viento]]. They work for the Elesian government and engage the party more than once.
165	----
166	* CardCarryingVillain: They're proud of getting labelled as villains.
167	%%* CombinationAttack
168	%%* DoppelgangerAttack
169	%%* GoldfishPoopGang
170	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After being defeated the last time, they sacrifice themselves to save Labrynthia's life.]]
171	* KeystoneArmy: Destroying a clone would only cause a new one to respawn next to the real mccoy. The only way to destroy all the clones was to defeat the real Triad.
172	* MightMakesRight: Their life's philosophy.
173	* SingleMindedTwins: Triples in this case. They think alike and often complete each other sentences.
174	* ThemeNaming: Classical Elements. Their names mean rain, thunder, and wind in Spanish, respectively, [[MeaningfulName and that accurately reflects each's powers]].
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	[[folder:Piedras Blancas]]
178	!!Piedras Blancas
179	The leader of the Zortroa Kinship.

199
200	[[folder:The Final Boss]]
201	!!Fear Clysmian
202	* BarrierChangeBoss: After receiving a certain amount of damage, he puts on a barrier that makes him immune to anything but Combination Arts.
203	* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: [[spoiler:As pointed out by Alexia, the only force that can counter the power of a Clysmian is the power of a Guardian.]]
204	* FinalExamBoss: You need to use Combination Arts to break through his barrier.
205	* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the OutsideContextProblem type.
206	%%* WalkingSpoiler
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	![=NPCs=]
210	[[folder:King Hrathnir Elesius III]]
211	!!King Hrathnir Elesius III
212	The king of the kingdom of Elesius, once a renowned warrior. He is now bedridden due to infirmity. It is his dream to change the war-like and expansionist kingdom he inherited to a peaceful one, but his reforms have been very unpopular.
213	----
214	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In order to save his daughter, the rebellion, and half the capital city, he sacrifices his own life.]]
215	* HotBlood: Even when weakened from illness, he charges Asgard, shattering the normally unbreakable barrier with a single punch [[spoiler:which leads to his HeroicSacrifice.]]
216	%%* RetiredBadass

218
219	[[folder:Princess Katrina Elesius]]
220	!!Princess Katrina Elesius
221	Alexia's younger sister, who is seen as unfit to inherit the throne because of her inability to feel fear.
222	----
223	* ElegantGothicLolita
224	* EmotionlessGirl: Particularly marked as being unable to feel fear, but she doesn't seem to feel much of anything else, either.
225	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She sacrifices her own life to stop the Fear Clysmian. The follow-up manga suggests she may have become a Guardian, softening the blow somewhat.]]
226	* LiterallyShatteredLives: [[spoiler:Just as she frees herself from the Fear Clymsian, Alexia tries to reach for her hand, only for Katrina to shatter in her sister's arms.]]
227	* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:As the Fear Clysmian, she goes through three forms, each more monstrous than the last.]]
228	%%* PuppetQueen
229	[[/folder]]
230
231	[[folder:Melissa Arwin]]
232	!!Melissa Arwin
233	Clarissa's late mother, who was searching for the Legacy Ruins, which she believes holds the answers to reviving the dying world of Filgaea. She once wielded the EmpathicWeapon Iskender Bey.
234	----
235	* AncestralWeapon: Melissa is descended from Yulia, the original wielder of Iskender Bey, and thus is accepted by the sword.

237	* EmpathicWeapon: Iskender Bey
238	* PosthumousCharacter: Was killed by Rupert before the events of the game.
239	* ReplacementGoldfish: Has shades of this for Felius as a replacement for Yulia.
