'''Some spoilers are unmarked.'''

!! Jian Campbell
->
* ArmedLegs: His combat style is exclusively kick-based. [[spoiler:He gets to be Dragonmaster anyway, go figure.]]
* ForYourOwnGood: Jian pulls this from time to time on his own TrueCompanions by attempting to leave them behind so they won't be exposed to any more danger. [[DoubleStandard He only ever does this to the female characters, though - he never tries to order Rufus to stay behind.]]
* TheLeader: An example of the headstrong type. If he was less [[StandardizedLeader generic]], HotBlooded might apply to him.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: Learns no special abilities for most of the game. [[spoiler:He does gain magic once he starts meeting the dragons, but he has to equip a special accessory to use each of them. ''Individually'', meaning he can never use more than one at a time. And no, they aren't the Dragonmaster magics from the previous games, either.]]

!! Lucia Collins
->
* FirstGirlWins: Lucia and Jian have known each other for a while, and though there is not much of a romantic component to this game Jian's devotion to Lucia is second to none.
* DamselInDistress: Like Luna before her, she falls into enemy hands about halfway through the game and remains there until the conclusion.
* GodInHumanForm: [[spoiler:The Goddess Althena went deep, deep undercover and became Lucia. As Lucia, she has no idea about her true identity.]]
* GirlishPigtails: With obligatory cute hair decs
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: [[spoiler:The only incarnation of Althena without blue hair.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted, seeing as she shares the name Lucia with the heroine of ''Eternal Blue''.
* ParasolOfPain: Her combat style is all about braining enemies with umbrellas.
* SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Takes everything on her with her when she's captured. The game hands you expensive, powerful equipment for her ''right'' before she's captured, too.
* TeamMom: She directs some stern mothering at Jian from time to time.
* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:Since she is Althena in disguise,]] Lucia is technically capable of great things. [[spoiler:But since Althena suppressed her power and memory when she took on her identity as Lucia, she doesn't seem like anything much beyond a normal human.]]

!! Gabryel Ryan
->
* CatFolk: She is a [[DemiHuman beastwoman]], which in this game apparently entails cat-like features. She has [[UnusualEars cat ears]] and CuteLittleFangs, but no tail.
* FacialMarkings: Look at those cute little stripes on her face!
** She also sports some [[TattooAsCharacterType tribal-ish tattoos on one arm]].
* MagicDance: Her sole special move involves [[SpectacularSpinning twirling up]] [[TornadoMove a twister]].
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Unlike other beastfolk, Gabi does not believe in the inherent superiority of her race.
* RebelliousPrincess: She is the daughter of Beast King Zethos, but does not conform to expectations of her station or race.
* WolverineClaws: Bladed brass knuckles are her weapon of choice, and with them, she comes closest to mustering a decent offense of any character who isn't Jian.

!! Flora Banks
->
* ConvenientReplacementCharacter: She specializes in healing magic, and makes her first appearance shortly after the previous healer leaves the party. In fact, she literally has all the same skills as Lucia, learned at the same levels.
* CuteClumsyGirl: While perfectly battle-capable, she is an epicenter of silliness on a few occasions.
* ThePollyanna: She has an upbeat personality despite the fact that when you meet her, she's covertly living in a mining tunnel in the heart of Vile Tribe territory.

!! Rufus Crow
->
* TheAce: Rufus is a famous warrior and general whom Jian views as [[TheRival a rival]].
* DemiHuman: He is a beastman, under the command of Beast King Zethos to boot.
* GuestStarPartyMember: He joins the party in the Frontier, then gets PutOnTheBus.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:PutOnTheBus because he gets munched down by the monstrous Gideon in short order.]]

!! Ignatius
->
* TheEmperor
* {{Expy}}: Of Ghaleon. Powerful mage, has some sort of issue with the Goddess Althena, [[spoiler:ruler of the Vile Tribe, possibly a FallenHero (though he isn't developed enough to be sure of it).]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A universal trait for humanoid members of the Vile Tribe.
* SorcerousOverlord: An overwhelmingly powerful magic user with an army of monsters at his command.
* TheUnfought: Aside from a HopelessBossFight you never actually get to battle him.
