The Garden Children/Fatal Hounds
Alph
A boy who lives in the Ever Garden with his comrades and his younger brother Theo. A bit stubborn, but has a strong sense of right and wrong.
- Barrier Warrior: After his class change to Rym Hero, he gains a few defensive moves such as Rym Shield and Rym Wall which nullifies physical and magical attacks.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: He has romantic feelings towards Lucia, whom he constantly argues with.
- Big Brother Instinct: Very protective of Theo.
- Covert Pervert: He'll often get distracted by Vanessa and attempts to peek a Lucia when they bathe together.
- The Hero: He's the main hero of the game.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Alph initially subverts this, with his first skill being Rifle (he is a Rifleman, after all). He melees with a sword though, and his second skill, as well as both Flash Drives, are sword attacks, until his class change. Then all of his Flash Drives involve blasting with the Rifle and Rym-power.
- Flechette Storm: Alph's "Flechette" skill is a storm of arrows.
- Idiot Hair: A curly one on the side of his head.
Cecille
Spoiler
A priestess at the Ever Garden. She's very kind-hearted, and believes in the teachings of the Luminous Verses.
Cecille as the Twilight Witch- Casting a Shadow: Once she's revealed to be the Twilight Witch, she starts using dark magic.
- Church Militant: Even more so than her companions by virtue of being a priestess.
- Dark Is Not Evil: As the Twilight Witch, Cecille uses Dark Spells, but she is still just as kind-hearted as ever.
- Evil Costume Switch: She wears a much more sinister outfit as the Twilight Witch.
- Magikarp Power: She's practically indispensable once she gets her class change.

- Water Is Womanly: A kind-hearted priestess with water as her element.
Theo
Alph's younger brother.
- Big Brother Worship: He holds Alph in high regard.
- Idiot Hair: A much straighter one than his brother's.

Leon
A close friend of Alph, Theo, and Cecille. Leon has always looked up to his father, and strives to become a strong warrior and live up to his legacy.
- Anime Hair: Very spiky and stands up at an angle.
- BFS: His weapon of choice is a big ol' sword. It's as big as he is.
- You Killed My Father: To Sir Andre, after he absentmindedly gloated about his current position.
Nikolai
A "witch fanboy".
- Abhorrent Admirer: None of the witches he likes actually appreciate his attention.
- Camp Straight: He acts very flamboyant, has a high-pitched voice, and could probably pass for a woman in terms of appearance. Despite this, he fights with Leon over Cecille, and hits on every single Witch the party meets.
- Expy: Consider how Nicolai acts around Witches. Now replace "witches" with "Officer Jenny/Nurse Joy". You now have Brock.
- Handsome Lech: Flirts with every witch he lays eyes on.
Saki
Another friend of Alph's from his childhood in Ever Garden. Though she's often busy doing reconnaissance work, fate brings her to fight alongside her old comrades.

- Sole Survivor: Of the attack that destroyed the Shadow Clan.
Residents of Witch Village
Lucia
The Dawn Witch. She came to Ever Garden disguised as a maid in order to find her 'Rym', which turned out to be Alph. Was forced to part ways with Alph soon after, but they rejoin in time. Comes off as cold, but actually cares for people despite her guarded personality.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: She has romantic feelings towards Alph, whom she constantly argues with.
- Light 'em Up: As The Dawn Witch, she has light-element spells.
- Light Is Good: The Dawn Witch, all dressed in shades of yellow and white, and a good and heroic person, if a little cold.
- Meido: Lucia first arrives at the Garden to work as its maid (her outfit is much more realistic then usual for this trope). The Twilight Witch's outfit, however, is very much reminiscent of a stereotypical maid outfit.
- Tsundere: Cold on the outside, caring on the inside.
Vanessa
The Witch of Immolation. Has a fiery, strong, violent, and impulsive attitude.
- Anti-Hero: Her objective is to stop Zehaal's rebirth, but she antagonizes almost everyone while trying to achieve her objectives.
- Bathing Beauty: She's a hot springs fanatic. Her cameo in Luminous Arc 2 actually has her wandering the country so she could visit all their hot springs.
- Big-Breast Pride: She's quite proud of her buxom figure, to the point where she's delighted if Alph asks "Are they real?" and offers to let him find out.
- Buxom Beauty Standard: She has a sizable bust that Alph and Nikolai are often ogling. It's further emphasized by the Impossibly-Low Neckline and Navel-Deep Neckline of her outfit and the fact she has a star tattooed on her right breast.
- Charm Person: Played With. She can inflict Charm on enemies via her "Seduce" ability, but she's not using any magic, just her natural sex appel to cause the enemies to get Distracted by the Sexy. All of her Flash Drives can also inflict charm.
- Color Motif: Red, with most of her outfit being colored red and her powers being based on fire.
- Defeat Means Friendship: She's a recurring antagonist for a lot of the game, and fought multiple times before she joins the party, and only because their goals happen to align.
- Defector from Decadence: From her point of view, that's what she did when she defected from the Witch Village, as she was annoyed they didn't want to collect the Lapistier like she did.

- It's All About Me: She's a selfish and stubborn person, making it very hard for her to emphasize or even consider the opinions of others.
- The Lad-ette: Her demeanor should be a dead giveaway, but if you missed it, there's still her weapon, her gauntlets, the way she treats her own Kopin, and the fact that the second time you find her, she's on the corner of a bar downing some mugs, much to the surprise of the party members who didn't expect her to act in such an "unladylike" manner.
- Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her outfit is cut very low, to the point it's illogical for it to still remain attached to her.

- Sinister Scythe: Her weapon of choice is a Scythe, fitting for her status as a Witch of Immolation.
- Sore Loser: When defeated the first time, she'll be very annoyed she lost to "a bunch of kids".
- Stripperiffic: Her outfit is very revealing, which is Lampashaded by Theo who says she has "Loud Clothes".
- The Tease: Her dialogue is very flirtatious and each of her intermissions with the main character are rife with double entendres, with only a few exceptions.
- Token Evil Teammate: For both the witches and the party, due to her aggressive nature and Lack of Empathy.
- Villains Out Shopping: The part is very weirded out when their second encounter with her happens when they find her getting wasted in a bar.

A old and wise manatee with the ability to talk. He can identify any Vitae in the world, and can use them to give weapons, armor, and accessories special traits.
