The (sizable) cast of Dog Days, sorted by country.
Earthlings/The Heroes
Thirteen-year-old British-Japanese boy summoned by Millhiore as the Hero of Biscotti to counter Gallette's increasing aggression. Master of the Holy Sword Palladion.
- Accidental Kiss: With Eclair, after a young cat goddess attempts to make them butt heads.
- Accidental Pervert: Accidentally groped Eclair and stripped her down to her panties, saw Millhiore nude four times already and Becky once, had a naked Noir land on top on him, and also accidentally copped a feel from Sharu.
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: He loves petting the many animal girls on the head, especially Princess Millhiore who he treats like his own personal puppy.
- Badass Adorable: A sweet, caring, carefree boy who can hold himself in battle.
- But Not Too Foreign: He is half-British (specifically, from Cornwall in southwest England), explaining his blond hair.
- Celibate Hero: Claimed to be this to Becky in Episode 3 of Dash. She didn't believe in the slightest.
- In Episode 13 of Dash he admits to Couvert that he has to accomplish a goal first before entering a relationship.
- Chick Magnet: Best described in episode eight while Becky and Milhi are talking about him.
- Rebecca: Shinku seems to fall in love with everyone he meets.Milhi: And that's what we love about him.
- Determinator
- Expy: Of Flynn Scifo, sharing the same blond hair, chivalrous attitude and voice actor.
- Of Erio if you want another work by Seven Arc. Reinforced by the fact that he hangs out with Millhiore, who's basically Caro with dog ears.
- Fish out of Water: At times.
- The Hero: For Millhiore and Biscotti.
- Heroes Love Dogs: One of the reasons why he works so well in an Alternate Universe of animal people. Cinque is definitely a dog person. He treats all the dog people in the same way he would treat real dogs, petting the Princess on the head and playing fetch with her.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Averted: Cinque's weapon is a Martial Arts Staff, thanks to his training in bojutsu. In fact, he can't even turn Palladion into a sword at first; Millifiore theorizes that he'll be able to do it when he really needs it which turns out to be the battle with the demon-possessed spirit near the end of the first season. Afterwards he still sticks with his staff, but breaks out the sword when things get really serious.
- Hover Board: The "Tornada".
- Idiot Hero: Though he has mostly grown out of ignorance when he first arrived, Eclair refers to him as this.
- Invincible Hero: Cinque is easily becoming this, considering that the hero crystal he got practically made him a God-Mode Sue who has been shown to be immune to things that would normally plague the more experienced cast. But only if you're the kind of person who seriously measures power levels in a show like this to begin with.
- Keet
- Knight in Shining Armor
- Le Parkour: Hell, every episode this guy's doing something athletic wherever he goes.
- Magnetic Hero: It has been proven, stated, and shown that Cinque has the ability to befriend any person he meets and is able to win the affections of pretty much every main and supporting character that shows up. Millhiore brings this up the most; constantly inquiring whether or not various people that Cinque meets in Season 1 like him, as she likes him so much that she expects everyone else too as well.
- Meaningful Name: "Shinku", the Japanese spelling of his name, means red. Guess what his primary outfit color is...
- Nice Guy
- Older Alter Ego: Midway through Dash, he gets a Hero's Stone, which gives him an Overnight Age-Up Super Mode. It even lets him completely ignore a People Puppets attempt.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Only a handful of characters actually call him by his real name. Everyone else just refers to him as "The Hero" or "Sir Hero".
- Playing with Fire
- Ship Tease: Has the most with practically every girl that appears in the show: Millhiore, Rico, Eclair, Yuki, Noir, Becky, and Nanami in Season 3.
- Spell My Name With An S: Some fansubs translate his name as "Shinku", although its inscription in katakana implies it is a foreign name.
- Some fansubs translate the name into "Sink", "Shinku" is more reasonable because of its meaning but seriously "SINK"?
- Stock Light-Novel Hero: Cinque is a near perfect example, even though he's one of the rare cases where he isn't from a light novel. He starts off as an Ordinary High-School Student where he was an ace athlete before abruptly being summoned to another world inhabited by animal people. In that other world he's The Chosen One and becomes The Hero with a very large Unwanted Harem comprised of the many girls there. He's the World's Best Warrior and is on the verge of becoming an Invincible Hero, being gifted with a Legendary Weapon and an assortment of powerful skills. Though personality wise he's quite cheerful and fun loving which is more in line with a Stock Shōnen Hero.
- Summon Everyman Hero
- You Can't Go Home Again: In Episode 2 of the first season, he discovers, much to his despair, that once summoned to Flonyard, he can never return home again. Ricotta ultimately found a way to do so, but it also ran the risk of wiping out his memories of Flonyard and barring him from returning. Turns out the mementos he left for his friends ultimately gave Ricotta a way to bring him back and restore his memories.
Cinque's thirteen-year-old classmate and friend. In Dash she plays a bigger role when she was brought by Cinque to Flonyard, where Princess Couvert recruits her to become the Heroine of Pastillage. Uses the Holy Sword Mercurius.
- Ascended Extra: Starting off as Cinque's only contact on Earth for the first season, come Dash she plays a bigger role — not only does she get the chance to see Flonyard, but was also scouted as the Heroine of Pastillage.
- Badass Adorable: Just like Cinque, she's quite the sweet kid with some gaming smarts that allow her to hold her own.
- Cards of Power: Throws cards that explode and fire lasers; this lets her be an aerial bomber.
- Cool Big Sis: Serves this role for Couvert.
- Fairytale Wedding Dress: Her Super Mode costume is essentially a fusion of this and a standard Magical Girl outfit, complete with a veil trailing down her hair.
- The Fashionista
- Flying Broomstick: In keeping up with Rebecca's Magical Girl form, her Mercurius often takes this form.
- Hand Cannon: When she has to fight, she can also turn Mercurius into this.
- Gamer Chick
- Girlish Pigtails
- The Heroine: As the Spoiler Opening of Dash shows, she becomes this for Couvert and Pastillage.
- High-Pressure Emotion: Last episode of Dash when Cinque calls her by her name for the first time.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: Who knew her skills at Bullet Hell games would come so handy?
- In-Series Nickname: "Becky"
- Locked Out of the Loop: Throughout the first season, she's unaware of Cinque's stay in Flonyard. Ultimately subverted in Dash, when Cinque Princess Carries her along to Flonyard.

- Muggle: In the first season.
- Older Alter Ego: Like Cinque and Gaul's Hero Crystal, the Demon Crystal gives her an Overnight Age-Up Super Mode

- Shipper on Deck/I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Actively encourages Millfiore to become Cinque's most precious person.
- Super Mode: Gets one in Episode 12 of Dash with the Demon Crystal.
- Transformation Sequence: In Season 2 Episode 2, involving a rather surreal scene depicting her being analyzed/groped in the nude by techno-magical tentacles with a look of ecstasy on her face.
- Tsundere: Type B, in contrast to Éclair's Type A. This aspect of hers is completely dropped in Dash.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: She's well aware that she's most likely going nowhere with Cinque, with all the competition around him, though the end of Dash points to a potential subversion, when Cinque is stunned at the sight of her Letting Her Hair Down, and later tried to call her on a First-Name Basis.
- Wave-Motion Gun: Her ultimate move.
- Weak, but Skilled: Unlike Cinque and Nanami, Becky is athletically average. She compensate this by using her well honed skill and reflexes as Gamer Chick to become a Mage-type heroine that actually manages to one-up Cinque and Nanami during her first outing, before Ricotta comes to the rescue with a bullet barrage.
Cinque's older cousin and, like him, summoned to Flonyard as the Heroine of Galette in Dash. Wielder of the holy sword Exmachina.
- Badass Adorable: Energetic, lively, and a spirited fighter.
- Boyish Short Hair
- But Not Too Foreign: Implied, with her being first seen in London.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Mentioned a few times before appearing at the end of season one. And come Dash, she wields a Chekhov's Gun in Exmachina.
- Distaff Counterpart: To Shinku
- Expy: Her overall design pretty much evokes Subaru Nakajima, straight off another Seven Arcs anime — both girls are energetic, sport short dark hair, and wear speed-enhancing footwear (Nanami's skates to Subaru's rollerblades). Even her Making a Splash powers evoke the fact that Subaru's transformation sequence in StrikerS featured a torrent of water.
- Friendly Rival: For her cousin.
- Genki Girl
- The Glomp
- The Heroine: For Leonmitchelli and Galette.
- Instant Expert
- Jumped at the Call
- Last Episode, New Character: Of the first season.

- Oh, Crap!: Her reaction to Brioche's Skyscraping Lupine God Void Fang
- Older Alter Ego: She gains her own Overnight Age-Up Super Mode at the start of the third season, thanks to the Spirit Crystal she received from Adel.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: Her hair goes from straight black to blue-fading-into-black when she uses her Super Mode.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Sharing this dynamic with Shinku as well.
- Rollerblade Good
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: In Episode 2 of Dash, she didn't take much issue with being stripped down to her underwear after Ricotta's bullet barrage, so long as she's in her tank-top and spats. Subverted next episode, after Rebecca's beam barrage strips her completely naked.
- Stripperiffic: Her underwear in Heroine form is a blue tank-top (with a cleavage shaped like a cat's head) and matching spats. Modest enough, unless one notices that the sides of each piece are very much bare, bound together only by garters.
- Super Mode: Gets one in Episode 3 of Double Dash with the Spirit Crystal.
- The Tease: the first thing she did when she meet her cousin? Kiss him on the cheek. Stripped down to skintight underwear by bombardment? Tease him by declaring that showing some skin are just fine.

- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": With the exception of Leo and Couvert, everyone calls her princess (including everyone from Galette and Pastillage, even if their princesses are present).
- Expy: She's quite similar to Lacus Clyne, being a pink-haired princess with purple eyes and a songstress who is beloved by her citizens. She's also quite similar in looks to Caro Ru Lushe, reinforced by the fact that both their shows are produced by Seven Arcs.
- In her battle dress, she can easily be mistaken for a pink, palette-swapped Saber.

Season 3 reveals that she had her aging halted as a child by being covered in the blood of demons she had slain. She was able to reach adulthood thanks to Valério's demon reasearch.

- Pals with Jesus: She's friends with Yukikaze, a land goddess, and Dash reveals that she also used to travel with both Adelaide and Valerio, as evidenced by the four of them taking a nostalgia trip.
- Parental Substitute: To Yukikaze, who she essentially raised after her parents were killed by demons.
- Retired Badass: By Double Dash, she decides to more or less go under the radar and spend some more R&R with Isuka and the fox spirits.
- There Is Another: She was initially stated to have been the only survivor of her country. Then it turns out she had a brother she knew about the whole time. (She did say she thought he was dead, but her tone suggests she could have been mockingly exaggerating).
- Verbal Tic: Ends her speeches with "de gozaru", uses the pronoun "sessha", and addresses everyone with "-dono".
- World's Best Warrior: Brioche may be the most powerful character in the series although we still haven't seen Adelaide's full powers yet.
Brioche's second-in-command in the Omitsu Squad and fellow freelance ninja.

- Lady of War
- Lovely Angels: With Brioche
- Ninja: Of the highly visible variety.
- Number Two: Of Brioche.

- Shipper on Deck: She actively encourages Cinque and Eclair to make out.
- Underboobs: When she wears a bikini.
- Verbal Tic: Like Brioche, she ends her speeches with "de gozaru", uses the pronoun "sessha", and addresses everyone with "-dono".

- In Episode 7 of Dash his swords are shown to be able to seal and purify demons.
- Mundane Utility: His sword-smith skills include household blades, such as camping or cooking knives.
- Older Than He Looks: He's 150 year old Brioche's older brother, thus this is implicit and pretty much confirmed by the fact that he's friends with Adelaide and Valerio
- Pals with Jesus: He calls Yukikaze "Yuki-pup". And he also adventured with the legendary Hero and Demon Kings Adelaide and Valerio.
- Perpetual Smiler
- Retired Badass: Used to be a member of the most famous demon slaying party ever, is now content to live with his sister and be a blacksmith.
- Walking the Earth: Though as of Episode 6 of Dash he decides to settle down and set up a smithy in Biscotti.
Galette Dominion
Princess of Galette, Millhiore's estranged childhood friend, and older sister of Gaul. In battle she personally leads her troops in battle, and wields the Demon Axe Grandvert, which she also transforms into a bow.
- Abdicate the Throne: She originally planned on stepping down in favor of Gaul once he comes of age, but the prophecy of Millhiore's death forced her to stay for a little longer and lead Galette's march to Biscotti in order to steal Millhiore's two swords and let the ordained day pass without incident.
- Aloof Big Sister: The once kind-and-loving big-sister figure to Millhiore suddenly became this by the time the war started.

- Anti-Villain: In season one
- Big Good: Come Dash, she finally lets her hair down and enjoy the war games with Millhiore and Couvert.
- Declaration of Protection: Her vow for Millhiore. This is the reason she waged war on Biscotti in the first place.

- Even the Girls Want Her: When her clothes were destroyed after her battle with Leaf, a shot shows a bunch of men and women with hearts in their eyes.
- Expy: A tall, busty, silver haired Person of Mass Destruction who's Good All Along? She's a catgirl version of Reinforce Eins.

- Exotic Weapon Supremacy
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: Gaul himself is no slouch, but compared to him Godwin is a force to reckon in the field.
- Oh, Crap!: After beating a Red Shirt in the arm wrestling competition. He casually beckons his next opponent only for Leo, Brioche and Adel to show up together.
- Older Sidekick: For Gaul.
- Out of Focus: In Dash
- Perma-Stubble
- Red Eyes, Take Warning
Head of the Knights of Galette and an old rival of Rolan.
- Curtains Match the Window: Has gold eyes and blonde hair.
Member of the Genoise, Gaul's personal all-female espionage trio, specializing in lithe combat.
- A-Cup Angst: She doesn't take kindly to the fact that Éclair has a better chest than her.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl

- Beware My Stinger Tail: Her "Seven Tails" attack.
- Demon Slaying: Is interested in doing this, going so far as to ask Yukikaze for training.

- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass
- Genki Girl
- Le Parkour: No where close to Cinque's (or even Nanami's, who soundly outclasses him) levels, but remarkable enough especially when taking into account her heavy hitting tendencies. One particular episode in the third season has her fending off a horde of slime monsters with an impressive array of acrobatic flips, backhands, punches and flying kicks, all while holding her large weapon with one hand.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is French for "yellow", fitting her yellow attire and blond bangs.
- Clafoutis is a French desert made with black cherries.

Wielder of the Holy Lance Coumars.
- Camp Straight: Her treatment of Becky is borderline Butch Lesbian-ish, but still draws a line at proposing to her.
- Curious as a Monkey: Yes, go mess around with a cave full of traps and Valério's sealing monument. It won't cause trouble!
- Dare to Be Badass: Her self-description and her method of convincing Rebecca to become her Heroine.
- Famous Ancestor: A descendant of the legendary Hero King. Logically that means she was descended from a Half-Human Hybrid, though the show calls all the animal people humans anyway.
- In Dash, when she's taking Cinque to the monument, there's a very brief flash that shows that she has our kind of ears under her hair in addition to squirrel ears.
- Fusion Dance: Does one with Adelaide in Season 3, though she doesn't recall anything that happened during the fusion.
- Genki Girl
- Identical Descendant: Of Clarifier Einz Pastillage, a previous princess who summoned Adelaide.
- This is particularly odd, since according to all available information, Fi was not a direct ancestor to Cou — rather, due to how to how Royal lineages work, she's likely Valerio's descendant (as he was crown prince). This means Fi is Cou's great-great-(insert appropriate number of "greats" here)-aunt.
- Large Ham"Behold! I have my very own Hero!"
- Magic Carpet
- Morph Weapon: The Coumars is originally a lance, though she prefers to use it as a gun.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something
- Spell My Name With An S: Couvert fits the Edible Theme Naming, but you get variations like Couver or Couverte, or even something like Kubel.
- Uneven Hybrid: She has a fraction of Earthling ancestry due to being Adelaide's descendant (the exact amount is unclear due to the series never specifying how many generations are between them). Because of this, she has a second pair of human ears under her hair.
- Wave-Motion Gun
The last princess of Pastillage and Valério's older sister.
- Healing Magic Is the Hardest: Her speciality. It made her very vulnerable to demons poison and lead to her death.
- Posthumous Character
- Royals Who Actually Do Something
Member of the Order of the Crystaltech and captain of the Eschenbach Knights, as well as Couvert's personal attendant.
Another member of the Order of the Crystaltech and captain of the Flytech Knights.
- High-Altitude Battle: Her specialty, giving advantage over the two other realms.
Others
A noted demon researcher, it is through his help that the widespread demon infestations plaguing the continent was reduced to much more manageable levels. His "Demon King" moniker is something that he took up as a bit of a joke, to keep people from bothering him during his research, but eventually got into because it was fun, and it also served to keep complacent countries on their toes with regard to the demon threat.
- Affably Evil: Of the comical variant, in that he'd rather peep on the hot springs than actually go around spreading evil. As it turns out, his bad-guy status is just an act.
- Anti-Villain
- But Now I Must Go: Humorously subverted.
- Butt-Monkey: To Adelaide.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yes, he is a goofy peeping tom who Screams Like a Little Girl, has Amusing Injuries piled on for comedy, and is pretty much whipped by Adelaide. He is still a Demon King.
- Evil Is Hammy: He tends to act this way at times.
- Eye Scream: Adelaide shoots him in the eyes!
- Also, Hero Stinger.
- Face–Heel Turn: Adelaide's story reintroduces him as the brother of the previous princess when she was summoned, setting this up. subverted when it's discovered why he took on the title of Demon King.
- Handsome Lech
- Harmless Villain: What became of him once Adelaide reins him in. He may not even qualify as much of a villain anymore. Episode 8 of season 3 reveals he was never actually a bad guy. He was just playing the part of the Demon King, because of his research into demons.
- Henpecked Husband: Adelaide has him completely whipped and it's implied that they're married, or at the very least had children together.
- In Name Only: Despite his self-appellation, it is implied he is a demon by association only — supplementary materials reveal that he is actually the younger brother of Clarifier, the last princess of Pastillage and Adelaide's summoner. Double Dash Episode 8 reveals that his "Demon King" shtick was actually his way of scaring complacent nobles straight.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Easily the most durable in the cast.
- It Amused Me: Why he originally became the Demon King. He kept demons around for research, but found it interesting when adventurers would challenge him in combat. He also did this to keep nobles from getting too complacent lest they actually start a war where people would really get killed.
- Large Ham
- Lovable Sex Maniac
- Mana Drain: The "Dark Circle of Absorption".
- Maou the Demon King: Played with. The title of demon king is merely something that others gave to him due to his study of demons, a title he embraced in order to keep complaint nobles on their toes (and because it was fun). In reality, he's the former crown prince of Pastillage and the hero king that supposedly defeated him is actually one of his comrades (and is implied to be his wife).
- Mr. Fanservice
- Naked on Arrival
- No Shirt, Long Jacket
- Official Couple: Implied with Adelaide, since Couvert refers to both of them as her ancestors.
- Oh, Crap!: When he realized that Adelaide has been unsealed as well.
- The Peeping Tom: First thing he does after getting unsealed? Watch the ladies in the bath.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning
- Scare 'Em Straight: Him being the "Demon King" is but an act meant to knock the nobles out of their complacency and remain vigilant to the threat of demons ravaging Flognarde.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: Every time Adelaide gives him good reason to cringe.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Appears this way, especially when he first appears. But he's not a very good villain, and often gets beat up by Adelaide to keep him in check.
- The Smart Guy: Served in this role for the demon slaying party. Even before that, he was already an expert researcher on demons.
- Spell My Name With An S: His name has been said to be Valerio or Valeria.
- That Came Out Wrong: He's pretty content to see sealed demons being purified... then nervously gives a Suspiciously Specific Denial that demons running wild is none of his business.
- Token Evil Teammate: Season 2 Episode 7 makes it clear he was part of Adelaide's demon hunting party. Heck, he isn't even that evil anymore... assuming he ever was. Episode 8 of season 3 shows he was actually never evil. He just played the role because he found it easier to justify keeping all the demons around for research purposes. Later he found it amusing when adventurers would attempt to challenge him to combat in his Demon King role.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Implied with Adelaide.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Was originally summoned to fight demons that invaded Pastillage, whose ruler died in battle, but not before ensuring that the hero would inherit the crown.
- Badass Adorable
- But Now I Must Go:
- Humorously subverted in Dash. They disappear briefly only to then show back up again shortly afterwards.
- Played straight in episode 8 of Double Dash when it's revealed she and Valerio voluntarily sealed themselves in the tomb for Princess Fi once they were convinced that the people would be fine, and also gradually forgot about them.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Does not like Valerio's womanizing ways, and will often beat him up or shoot him if he's doing such things around her. She's also implied to be his wife since she refers to "their" grandchildren when talking about their past and Couvert calls both of them her ancestors.
- Cool Crown
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: And sometimes Valerio is just asking for it.
- Dragon Rider: An enormous two-headed dragon named Kratos.
- Everyone Looks Sexier if French: Adelaide is strongly implied to be French.
- Exotic Eye Designs: Star shaped pupils. The same type that Becky gets when she uses her Demon Crystal.
- Eye Poke: For each time Valerio's perversions run wild..."Hero Stinger!"
- Genki Girl
- Heroic Comedic Sociopath: While genuinely heroic, Adel seems to have gleefully replaced all the usual typical, boring heroic weapons and attacks with much more effective, painful alternatives. All the while invoking In the Name of the Moon as if nothing is unusual.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Princess Fi, her summoner and predecessor as ruler of Pastillage.
- I Choose to Stay: Stayed to rule Pastillage after the passing of her summoner and best friend, Princess Fi.
- Idiot Hair
- King in the Mountain
- Magical Girl
- Naked on Arrival
- Official Couple: Implied with Valério, since Couvert refers to both of them as her ancestors.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Hero Mask! Complete with Sailor V's glasses and a Kamen Rider-esque scarf. No one who knows her personally is fooled. And she discards them the next episode.
- Really 700 Years Old: She is quite old, possibly several hundred years, though her appearance makes her look like she's in her mid-20's.
- Red Baron: The "White Hero King".
- Samus Is a Girl
- Sealed Evil in a Duel: It's initially implied this occurred with the Demon King. The truth is a bit different — she and Valério voluntarily sealed themselves into Princess Fi's grave as Pastillage became a duchy.
- Sealed Badass Good In A Can: While trying to go back, it was revealed that they broke the can.
- She Is the King: She's referred to as the Hero King despite being female.
- Standard Hero Reward: Gender-Inverted in the backstory, where she helped save Flonyard from being infested with demons and then went onto marry the crown prince of Pastillage, becoming known as the Hero King in the process. Admittedly, it's never flat out stated that she and Valério married, but all available information points to it (including Couvert referring to both of them as her ancestors).
- Superhero Packing Heat: And not afraid to use it!
- Swiss-Army Weapon: Like most weapons, her sword can transform into...
- Epic Flail: The "Grand Marnier Hammer", a humongous ball and chain that can create light shockwaves upon contact.
- Sword and Gun: She arrives to Flonyard with a sword, but it's not used as her hero weapon is a much more reliable gun. She also later picks up a magical sword as well during her time hunting demons.
- Tsundere: Type B — she's generally a sweet, soft-spoken Hero, and tends to give Valério much vitriol (though more often than not he doesn't help his case).
- Underboobs: Her swimsuit.
- Verbal Tic: "nano desu".
- Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Valério already had a bad start to their relationship after he caught her in the bath during her early years in Pastillage.
A horse-girl and oracle of Dragon Forest, the great wilderness beyond Biscotti, Galette and Pastillage, who serves as Cinque and Nanami's guide to life beyond the pale, as well as the messenger to the three kingdoms of a critical mass of demons around her realm.
- Big Damn Heroes: How she introduces herself to Cinque and Nanami.
- But Now I Must Go: After her arc early in Double Dash, she doesn't show up again for quite some time. Justified in the sense that she has to watch to watch over the lands as the Dragon Priestess, so is unable to visit the others.
- Waif-Fu: For a lithe forest-dweller, she is pretty nimble with a bow and arrow, and is also athletic to boot.
- Wild Child: In contrast to most Flognarde characters, Sharu is a forest-dweller.
- Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa
The young prince of Halver Kingdom, the realm of rabbit-people and Verte's homeland, and a good friend of Leonmitchelli.
- Adorably Precocious Child: The opinion of many characters towards him.
- Badass Adorable: Would you believe this cute little boy nearly gave Leonmitchelli a run for her money? Keep in mind, no one else has come that close on their own.
- Bow and Sword in Accord: He fights with a short sword and a crossbow.
- Precocious Crush: On Leonmitchelli, ever since she gave him words of encouragement to become a better fighter.
- Warrior Prince: The guy nearly defeated Leonmitchelli in single combat (one more very weak hit and she would have lost), and she was using Grandvert.
The songstress of the Star-Folk, a race of mermaids living inside the great Sky Whale. When Gaul found her, however, she was rendered mute and amnesiac by an illness.
- Cute Mute: She apparently can communicate only through direct telepathy. Double Dash Episode 10 reveals that she cannot speak directly as a result of being ill.
- Telepathy: Aria talks this way as a result of being sick.
The priestess of the Sky Sea and Sharl's counterpart.
- Establishing Character Moment: Turning around and smiling at Sharu's entrance, while covered in the ichor of several sickness demons she has just beaten to death with nothing more than a set of spiked brass knuckles.
- Miko: Her overall motif.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: She is extremely large, standing several stories tall when the main characters first meet her. However, she is able to create some summons which are smaller in size and stays in contact with them this way when they attempt to find Aria.
