Kyrie Illunis

"It's probably my fault..."
Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (Japanese), Evan Wood (English game), Todd Haberkorn (English anime)

The main character of Sands of Destruction. Kyrie believes he is a normal human being and lives life in an isolated area where both humans and Ferals are treated equally. However, there is more than meets the eye as he has the power to destroy the world. Because of this he is forced to leave his hometown and journey with Morte, who wants to use him to destroy the world.


  • Action Survivor: In the anime.
  • Adaptational Wimp: No version of Kyrie particularly likes to fight, but his anime self is pathetically incompetent in terms of even staying out of the way.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: In both the game and anime he's dirty blond, but the manga covers can't seem to decide if his hair is a bright yellow-blond or a light brown nearly the same color as Morte's.
  • Afraid of Their Own Strength: In the game and manga. Justified due to some pretty severe Power Incontinence.
  • All-Loving Hero: Best exemplified by a Life Skill he gains late in the game, Porta Clausa, which negates all damage for three turns. Not all damage to your party; all damage, including to enemies. Kyrie would really rather not hurt anyone if he can. All versions of him are kind and generous to everyone, though the game makes it clear he's especially fond of Morte.
  • All Men Are Perverts: Subverted in the anime: one episode, he had the chance to look up Morte’s skirt because it had a huge tear in it and was getting bigger with every movement she made. Instead, he spent the entire episode trying to sew it back together instead of commenting on the rip. It does not go well...
  • Always Save the Girl: The game makes it clear that, while he doesn't want to hurt anyone, Morte is his first priority.
  • Amazon Chaser: In the game, his infatuation with Morte starts from a love of her dynamic and passionate beliefs. Her beliefs just happen to be "let's kill everything". Of course, as the Destruct, it's a little hardwired into him to need to end the world, even if he doesn't realize it at first.
  • Anti Anti Christ: This Nice Guy is The Chosen One for bringing about The End of the World as We Know It. Yeah, he doesn't think that's a good idea either.
  • Apologizes a Lot: All versions of him have him apologizing whether it's to his friends or enemies. However, in the video game, it becomes a quip that he apologizes even if it isn't his fault.
    Agan: Apologizing to your own murderer. That's a first.
  • The Atoner: In the manga, his powers went out of control and he ended up killing everyone in a village as a result. He leaves Morte in order to find a way to control his powers.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Whose bright idea was it to give this sweet, friendly Nice Guy the power to completely obliterate everything around him?
  • Beware the Nice Ones and I Feel Angry: No matter how the Ferals treat him or what they do, Kyrie generally has the inability to get angry. However, this is subverted in the manga as when he finally does snap at Morte, it shocks everyone.
  • Blessed with Suck: The power to destroy the world? No, Kyrie would rather just bake cakes; controlling all that power (or worse, not controlling it) causes problems.
  • Boy Meets Girl: How he meets Morte.
  • Break the Cutie: In the manga and video game.
  • Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gender Flipped with Morte in the anime: she's moody and pessimistic, whereas he's kind and patient, even when she tries to push him away or responds tersely to his conversation.
  • The Butcher: His starting nickname in the game. Of course, the only way it's fitting at all is if you look at his kitchen skills - but even then, most of his cooking is vegetarian.
  • Cat Girl: When he needs a disguise, he will disguise himself as a cat boy. An adorable one you might add.
  • Chef of Iron: A combination of type two and three in the game: he uses cooking knives as his primary weapon and his special moves are all based on food.
  • The Chosen One: Chosen to end the world, that is. He is not happy about it.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Seems to be this in the game and anime. Subverted in the manga.
  • Combat Medic: In the game, he's got the widest variety of healing spells but is not terrible with his knives, either.
  • The Cutie
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Inverted in the anime. Played straight in the manga and video game.
  • Cuteness Proximity: In the manga, he squeals at seeing Toppi for the first time. In the video game, he has a similar experience as he continues to call Toppi a teddy bear every now and then. Subverted in the anime where he's freaked out over Toppi's appearance.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: His Destruct powers allow him to turn everything around himself to sand.
  • Distress Ball: Anime counterpart tends to get himself in situations that could get him killed.
  • Distressed Dude: No matter if it’s the anime, manga or video game, Kyrie will always get captured. In the anime, he gets captured every other episode and has to wait for his teammates to think of a plan to escape the Ferals.
  • The Ditz: In the anime. He is rather...clumsy...
  • Doomed Hometown: In the manga and the video game. It doesn’t say what his hometown is in the anime, though, but judging from the memory lane episode, it was obvious that he was searching for work because something happened to it.
  • Driven to Suicide: In the video game, after failing to control his powers for a second time, he asks Naja to kill him.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: In the manga, one can easily mistake Kyrie for a woman. Blame the artist for that.
  • 11th-Hour Superpower: In all versions, he eventually gets a large bump in power right at the end. In the anime, he remembers his identity and thus regains his ability to turn anything he wants into sand. In the game, he gets a powered-up fight mode about halfway through the game, but doesn't reveal that he's also now immune to the Destruct Code's order to destroy the world until just before the final fight. In the manga, he suddenly realizes his humanity grants him the powers of a Creator as well as a Destroyer in the middle of the final battle.
  • Fantastic Nuke: His powers are basically nuclear (in the manga, Naja even waxes scientific on the conversion of atoms), though there is no fallout and the area is immediately safe to walk in - assuming he doesn't go off again. In a twist, the focus is not on the mushroom cloud, but rather on the flash of light which precedes the cloud but is normally unmentioned in fiction.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Only wears a glove on his left hand.
  • Farm Boy: Worked in a restaurant in a very small village until the plot happened.
  • Friend to All Children: As part of the standard Nice Guy package. In the anime, he even teaches a group of orphans how to bake a cake for their caretaker's birthday.
  • Gender-Blender Name: While Kyrie is considered masculine in the original Greek, in modern English it's a unisex name.
  • Go-Go Enslavement:
    • In one episode in the anime where he, Morte and Toppi were captured, he was the only one who had an outfit change when he was working in the kitchen.
    • In the game, he was also perfectly willing to accept the Beastmen as humanity's rightful rulers. This says as much about his personality as it says about the fact that Ursa Rex was a kind and benevolent ruler to the humans under his command.
  • Good Is Not Dumb: In the game, Rhi'a tells him a Motivational Lie. He later admits he disbelieved her, but didn't say anything because it wouldn't be nice to doubt her Psychic Powers. Taupy comments he must be smarter than he looks.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Kyrie is normally content to let anyone who wants to walk all over him. He's quiet and meek and would really rather not fight. However, if you push him too far, he will put up quite an epic fight. Even if you're his mom and the Creator of the world, that does not give you a free pass to try to acta est fabula him into destroying the world.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: For someone who has the power to end the world, Kyrie sure is a Nice Guy.
  • The Heart: Always wants to talk things out instead of using violence. In the manga, when he leaves the group because of an argument with Morte, the rest of the group soon splits up as well.
  • The Hero: A cowardly one.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: In all versions, he eventually has this relationship with Taupy.
  • Hidden Depths: All versions in all different ways.
    • His cheerful self in the anime hides the fact that he is the Destruct Code that can destroy the world and his happy persona was created to hide the fact that he was indeed a dangerous weapon.
    • His manga counterpart is similar to the anime only he's not all smiles. On the inside, he feels really guilty for killing everyone close to him all because he couldn't control his powers and wishes to do so to prevent any more victims.
    • His video game counterpart is a combination of the two and while he really is a happy person, the idea of destroying the world does get to him eventually and then when he kills more people because of his powers, he falls into a state of despair and asks Naja to kill him.
  • I Am a Monster: In the game and manga, his lack of control over his powers makes him extremely dangerous even to his friends. This causes him no small amount of angst.
  • I Am Not a Gun: In the game, the Destruct is a creation of the will of the world to be brought to its natural end. Kyrie is not pleased to learn his identity is a lie.
  • I Am Who?: In the game, Kyrie was raised without any knowledge of his identity as the Destruct - or even that such a thing might exist. Naturally, when his powers activate, it freaks him out monumentally and it takes him a while to come to terms with what he really is and is capable of.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: He complains about this in the anime but isn’t taken seriously (since he has control over his power) but played straight in the manga and video game.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: Kyrie does this to Toppi in the manga because he insists that Toppi is a teddy bear. Toppi is not amused.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: In all versions, he's an extremely kind Nice Guy with dark blue eyes.
  • In-Series Nickname: Taupy refers to him as "Kid".
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: A genuine Nice Guy, because Women Are Wiser? Check. Supreme Chef, because Feminine Women Can Cook? Check. Vulnerable to Cuteness Proximity, because Girls Love Stuffed Animals? Check. In possession of a Y chromosome? Also check.
  • It's All My Fault: One of his quips in the game is, "It's probably my fault..." It activates on occasion when he takes damage.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Always uses boku to emphasize how gentle he is. When speaking to others, he switches between anata and kimi, often in the same conversation.
  • Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Stated in the video game that he adores cats. This also explains why he wears the cat ears in the anime.
  • Lethal Chef: In the video game as this is one of his many attacks against enemies.
  • Light 'em Up: His powers produce a blinding flash of light as they turn things to sand.
  • Light Is Not Good: Played with. While Kyrie himself is absolutely a Nice Guy, his powers destroy everything and he believes they make him a danger to everyone.
  • Living MacGuffin: Kyrie is capable of massive damage output, but doesn't know how to control it. Morte wants to figure out a way to use this power and doesn't particularly care too much if he's a person or just a random orb.
  • Lovable Coward: He grows out of this in the manga and video game.
  • Love Martyr: The reason he stays with Morte. This is horribly subverted in the manga as he snaps at her for blowing up an entire town and leaves the World Destruction Committee as a result.
  • Magical Eye: His left eye is where the Destruct Code is actually hidden; it glows when he Awakens in the anime.
  • Magnetic Hero: In the game, most every character joins the Front because they find Kyrie fascinating for one reason or another. When he dies, the team nearly splits up because their common glue is gone.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: With Morte.
  • Meaningful Name: Kyrie in Greek is lord (usually used in reference to Jesus). His full name is likely a misspelling of a well-known prayer, Kyrie eleison, meaning "Lord, have mercy!" Alternatively, Illunis may be meant to sound like "illusion", as in the illusion he initially has that he's just an ordinary boy.
  • The Medic: While everyone has a healing move, all of his life skills are all healing which range from healing the entire party's HP, status ailments and regen.
  • Messianic Archetype: All versions to some extent, but especially the game.
  • Morality Chain Beyond the Grave: For a time in the middle of the game. He gets better.
  • Morality Pet: Mainly to Morte but applies to the whole group. In the manga, after he gets into a fight with Morte, the group splits up.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: In the video game, he's given the name "Destruct" when he "joins" the World Destruction Committee. Naturally, whenever someone sees Kyrie, they're convinced that his title doesn't match him at all.
  • Nice Guy
  • Non-Action Guy: In the anime until the last episode.
  • Not Quite Human: Kyrie looks like a normal seventeen-year-old boy. How he's not human varies between adaptations:
    • In the game, he was a soulless being created by the Creator of the world for the specific purpose of destroying the world when the time came. The love shown to him by Morte, his friends, the villagers he grew up with, and even the Crimson Sun in the guise of his Uncle Agni allowed him to develop emotions, free will, and a soul, rendering him fully human but with extreme power.
    • In the anime, he's an ageless being who has been alive since the creation of the world.
    • In the manga, he is one of two angels destined to destroy the world. They incarnate into human forms once every thousand years in order to fulfill their mission, but it seems this time he's forgotten his duty and learned to live as a very normal human. That's because a thousand years ago, he fell in love with Morte and grew a human spirit so he could properly feel emotions, so he actually is human, even if he's still the Destruct, too.
  • Not-So-Badass Longcoat: Very much so in the anime, where he spends his time running and hiding from fights. Still a little bit in the manga and video game, as he's such a Nice Guy as opposed to your usual personality. However, it should be noted that his "coat" is in fact a long tunic shirt that can flap around; his actual jacket is only waist-length.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: In the manga he knows he’s a dangerous person and tries to play it off that he isn’t. Too bad he’s in a series where every character is very observant.
  • One-Man Army: In the anime, he single handedly took out his enemies before trying to engulf the world in sand. Thank god Morte stopped him.
  • Parental Abandonment: His uncle raised him because his parents died when he was young, but alas, poor Uncle Agni didn't make it past the first act of the game. Actually, "Agni" was just fine, and his mom is still very much alive and the Creator of the world. It's unknown who or what his father was, his current whereabouts, or even if he existed in the first place or if the Creator simply gave birth to him because she felt like it, no father needed.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Standing too close to Kyrie when his powers go off is hazardous to your health.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: With Morte, though their expected personalities are flipped.
  • Poisonous Person
  • The Pollyanna: In the anime. Not so much in the manga and video game.
  • Power Dyes Your Hair: When he Awakens as the Destruct, his hair turns flaming red.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: In the game only, Awakening causes his hair to grow a couple of inches; not a great lot, but noticeable. Averted in the anime, where it's just a Palette Swap of his usual blond.
  • The Power of Friendship: Invokes this in the anime and video game but is horribly subverted in the manga.
  • Power-Strain Blackout: In the game and manga, he faints after his Destruct powers activate and has a bit of amnesia for the event as well (though whether this is a side-effect of power overload or a simple psychological case of denial is left to the viewer to decide). Averted in the final episode of the anime, where he's got more control and thus only seems a little bit tired after nearly destroying the world.
  • Recruitment by Rescue:
    • In the game, Morte breaks him out of a feral prison after hearing he accidentally turned a whole village to sand.
    • In the anime, Morte accidentally exposes him as a human posing as a feral and, while she wasn't intending to rescue him, does end up dragging him out of the restaurant.
    • In the manga, Morte and Taupy rescue him from Rajiv as he's being taken for accidentally destroying a village.
  • Reluctant Warrior: In the game, he'd much rather talk than be forced to fight, but winds up killing quite a few beastlords and countless random mooks.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Or rather savvy guy, crazy girl.
  • Self-Destruct Mechanism: He is one for the world.
  • Self-Made Orphan: Thanks to his Power Incontinence, his Parental Substitute and the only family he had left are killed at the start of the game. Later, it turns out his uncle is actually okay, but then he has to kill his mom to stop her from trying to force him to destroy the world.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Sensitive Guy to Taupy's Manly Man.
  • Shounen Hair: Very messy and sticks up in random ways. In the game, Awakened Kyrie has not only flaming red hair, but it's a tad longer and more windswept, too.
  • Shrinking Violet: In the anime.
  • The So-Called Coward: In the anime, while he runs away most of the time he is very capable of holding a human's attack on a beast man temporarily. Too bad this doesn't stick.
  • Spell My Name With An S: One of the first Japanese trailers romanized his name as Kylie, but most fans take this as an example of Japanese Ranguage at work. The Funimation dub of the anime changed his last name to Illnis, which makes him sound like an ill boy instead of a Wide-Eyed Idealist (which some may claim could fall under a type of mental illness, given the state of racial affairs in his world).
  • Sphere of Destruction: His powers turn everything around him to sand (with the exception of air, apparently). But since the ground in the world is already mostly sand, it largely appears to be a flat disc of destruction at surface level.
  • Stay in the Kitchen: Not used by him against females but some beastmen actually tell him that he's better off in the kitchen. This is mainly used to insult Kyrie being a human but since he is physically the weakest of the group and needing constant saving, it fits him well. Naturally, he takes this comment in stride.
  • Stepford Smiler: In the manga, after killing an entire village with his powers, he is forced to put on a smile, while in the video game, the longer it takes to control his power, the sadder he gets, so he ends up being Type A. This is also true in the video game as time goes on but subverted in the anime.
  • Supreme Chef: In the anime he is often the one that cooks for the group, and even impresses the prisoners in the jail where the Committee was being held with his skill. In the game, his special moves are all based around cooking. Even his knife is considered a cooking utensil for battle.
  • Team Chef: See above.
  • Team Mom: He tends to try and be the peacemaker of the group, and is fairly domestic.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In the video game and manga. And at the end of the anime, though it's less taking the level and more regaining it.
  • Unlikely Hero: He's not the strongest or most skilled fighter out there, he's kinda meek and mousy, and on top of that, he's got severe Power Incontinence for some pretty nasty world-destroying abilities. This guy is gonna be our hero? Yup.
  • Useless Protagonist: Played straight with the anime until the last episode. Played with in the manga. Averted in the video game.
  • Weak, but Skilled: In the manga. Somewhat in the game as well, as his Flurry attacks don't do a lot of damage but he's capable of chaining them and his accuracy is a bit better than others.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist:
    • Although in the anime he starts out fairly world-weary, their journey across the world changes this.
    • Played straight in the video game where he thinks that everyone has a chance to get along from the start but it slowly dies away as the game goes on.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Played with as he does have the power to destroy it. Then again, in the anime when he was at the very end, he did become the very thing that the Salvation Committee tried to prevent.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: In the video game, he’s the only person that believes that humans and Ferals can live together. Boy is he wrong.

Morte Ashera

"There's more than enough destruction to go around!"
Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese), Deborah Eliazer (English game), Luci Christian (English anime)

A sixteen year old girl with a troubled past and wants to destroy the world because of it. She was originally the only member of the World Destruction Committee (anime wise) until she encountered Kyrie and found out he had the power to destroy the world. With him by her side, she sets her sight of destroying the discrimination in the world.


  • Action Girl: In the anime. More of a Dark Action Girl in the manga and video games.
  • Action Girlfriend: To Kyrie in a sense. Officially becomes one about halfway through the game, though remains unofficial in other adaptations.
  • Adaptational Curves: While Morte is never flat-chested and is acknowledged by other characters as beautiful, the manga seems to double her bra size in comparison to the game and anime. The anime may have slightly filled out her figure as well, but it's much less drastic of a change.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Her skirt is red instead of pink in the anime, and her eye color changes between blue and green. Her hair is sometimes red and sometimes brown, but this changes even between pictures from one adaptation.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Agan calls her "Mort" in the game, a holdover from when they grew up together. The translation of the manga keeps this, as their relationship is the same, though the original Japanese had him just calling her モルテnote .
  • Axe-Crazy: In the manga and video game. Subverted in the anime.
  • Badass in Distress:
    • In the anime where she wouldn’t tell the Ferals where Kyrie and the Destruct Code were despite being beaten (almost to death).
    • In the game, she briefly ends up brainwashed by Serpens Rex, then is cursed by her and nearly dies.
    • In the manga, she's taken captive by Lacertus and Aquila Rex, who have betrayed her trust in the World Destruction Committee. She doesn't stay distressed for long. Then she has a realization so horrible that she momentarily forgets how to fight, and winds up in serious danger because of it.
  • Beleaguered Childhood Friend: Agan treats her as one when they first meet in the game, wondering how the girl he grew up with who used to be a member of the Golden Lions with him could have gone so far as to join the World Annihilation Front.
  • Berserk Button: In the video game, hurting Agan is ill advised as Rajiv learns the hard way. Morte kills him for beating up Agan and threatening a Fate Worse than Death, which could have literally meant anything by the way Agan was tied up.
  • BFS: Her weapon of choice is a double-ended scimitar that's nearly as tall as she is.
  • Big Eater: In the manga, she spreads a banquet table large enough to feed the entire Committee, but the only chair there is hers. She doesn't get an opportunity to eat much of it, though, so she may only have had so much food precisely so she could let it go to waste.
  • Book Dumb: In the game, she claims she hates books because they're boring and the Purple Prose is too complicated; one surmises she would not do well in an academic environment, despite the fact that she's clearly of at least average intelligence (if also of below-average sanity).
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: In the video game, by Serpens Rex. She gets better.
  • Break the Cutie: In the anime. More of a Break the Haughty in the manga.
  • Broken Bird: In the anime. Subverted in the video game.
  • Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gender Flipped with Kyrie in the anime: she's moody and pessimistic, whereas he's kind and patient, even when she tries to push him away or responds tersely to his conversation.
  • Chickification: In the manga, Morte falls prey to it in the final chapters. At the outset of the story, she's extremely competent and more than capable of taking care of herself in a fight. However, after she remembers that she's the Princess of Guiadance, she suddenly seems to forget all her fighting skills - including basic things like how to jump, as she was capable of making a tremendous leap while saving Kyrie from Rajif, but is unable to jump from the top deck of a ship to a nearby walkway to save herself. This seems to serve no purpose other than to give Kou a single chance to be heroic and save her for Kyrie. She attempts to rejoin the fight after this, but is quickly killed, triggering Kyrie to turn Vreveil into Swiss cheese.
  • Childhood Friend: To Agan in the game and manga. While they're very close (hurting Agan is a good way to insure a painful death for yourself), it's obvious they're Like Brother and Sister.
  • Combat Stilettos: They're more heels than actual stilettos, but her boots are definitely not practical for combat.
  • Crutch Character: In the video game, she starts out at a higher level than Kyrie and is your primary damage dealer after Taupy. Halfway through the game, you probably will rely on Flurry attacks more, and since hers can only do 7 hits in total, she arguably becomes the least useful character in combat.
  • Cute and Psycho: In the video game and manga.
  • Dancin' in the Ruins: On the rare occasions that she actually does property damage, she seems to quite enjoy herself.
  • Defiant Captive: When she's taken prisoner in the manga, she insults her captors and then makes herself at home on their ship, eating and drinking a huge spread and insisting they cater to her whims. She gets away with it because the Archangel Vreveil recognizes her as the princess who is the counterpoint to him and Kyrie.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: In the anime where she opens up to Kyrie and Toppi. In the video game, it takes her longer to open up to the group. Subverted in the manga.
  • Determinator: Once she gets an idea in her head - whether that's world destruction, resurrecting Kyrie, or remaking the entire world into a better place - there's absolutely no stopping her.
  • Deuteragonist: Sure, Kyrie may be the main character, but without Morte, the plot is going nowhere.note  If you want to think of it in terms of fire, Kyrie may be the spark that starts the plot, but Morte is the kerosene-soaked log that keeps it going.
  • The Dreaded: In the game, she accidentally scares a pair of guards away from Kyrie's jail cell just by walking up behind them; as soon as they realize who she is, they flee. No one seems to recognize or react to her later in the game, however.
  • Drives Like Crazy: In the game. She complains that they don't make sand skiffs like they used to; you redline them once or twice and the darn thing just overheats and dies on you. Poor Kyrie could barely keep up. When she flippantly tells Agan that her ship "is wrecked" and they need to use his, he's immediately sure that she wrecked it; it didn't just happen by accident.
  • Evil Redhead: At the start of the game and manga, where she's more psychotic. Being around Kyrie eventually mellows her.
  • Fantastic Racism: In the anime, she hates beastmen (with perhaps the exception of Taupy) and doesn't like when it's shown that they can and do get along perfectly well with humans. In the game, she doesn't seem to think anything more or less of them.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Her gloves are slightly different on each hand.
  • Fiery Redhead: Possibly a redhead; definitely a fiery temper.
  • Fist Pump: Her Victory Pose in the game.
  • Flat Character: In the video game where her actions aren’t explained. Lampshaded when she complains nothing happens to her in the Depths of Memory. This is subverted in the anime because she's the first one to be affected by the Depths of Memories and is the only character that wanted to remain there because she would rather live in a time of happiness instead of knowing the future.
  • Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Most large coats hide the wearer's figure rather than being neatly tucked in beneath the breasts. Becomes even more noticeable in the manga, where her shirt even dips in between her breasts to avoid the uniboob effect, and her skirt occasionally clings to her legs so much that it looks like a pair of shorts instead.
  • Friendless Background:
    • In the manga, Agan says she had no companions growing up, and her only support was a story about the end of the world. However, not ten seconds before saying that, he called himself her Childhood Friend, and it's clear they know each other well and care about each other at least to some extent.
    • Somewhat implied in the anime, as after her family dies she's all alone and has rather blunted social skills.
  • Gender-Blender Name: While most parents wouldn't give a name meaning "death" to a child of either gender, The Grim Reaper and other personifications of death are normally male. However, this may be a case of pop culture overshadowing language, as in Latin and its derivatives, morte was a female grammatical gendered word.
  • Genki Girl: In the game, she's extremely excitable and doesn't do anything by half. She's still pretty excitable in the manga, though not to the same extent. Averted by the anime, where she's more serious.
  • Girl with Psycho Weapon: She often brandishes that big sword in a menacing manner (as if there were any way to hold a sword as large as a person and not be menacing about it).
  • Girly Bruiser: She'll happily bomb you six ways to Sunday before squeeing over a sparkly dress. The game even has a Chain of Deals in which a set of feral sisters recognize that the human girl actually has some fashion sense.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: In all versions. Played for laughs in the anime; in the video game, it's played for laughs most of the time. However, in the manga, it gets played for drama as by snapping at Kyrie of all people, this prompts him to leave the group with Toppi and Naja following him.
  • Heel Realization: In the manga, Vreveil explains that she is the Planner, Princess of Guidance for the creation of the new world. This also means that she's responsible for all the racism and the terrible state of the world, as she must have wished for it to be that way. Realizing this nearly causes a Heroic BSoD. Moments later, she also realizes that she pushed away the one person who could really help her.
  • High-Class Gloves: Wears fancy pink gloves that have Fashionable Asymmetry.
  • Hime Cut: A messy, choppy version. In most adaptations, it's simply a common hairstyle for a heroine, but it becomes significant in the manga. There she's actually the Princess of Guidance, a celestial being responsible for shaping the new world.
  • I Am Who?: In the manga, she's forgotten that she's the Planner. She also doesn't know such a person could exist, but quickly takes it in stride - then nearly has a Heroic BSoD a few moments later when she realizes that means the state of the world is all her fault, as she didn't plan it well: she wished for a world with talking animals, but forgot to also wish that they would be friends with humans.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: In the game, which is somewhat unusual as her personality is most fiery in that incarnation. However, her one Blood Skill that isn't a bomb is Blizzard.
  • Informed Attractiveness: All adaptations have her appearance commented on at least once, and it's always positive. In the game, Serpens Rex attacks the party specifically because she thinks Morte is too pretty for a human.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: In the game, she fangirls a bit when first meeting Kyrie because she heard he turned an entire village to sand. When she learns he can't do it on command and doesn't actually want to ever do it again, she's disappointed and vows to show him how terrible the world is so he'll want to destroy it. Her reaction in the manga is similar. Averted in the anime, where Kyrie doesn't display any powers at the start and is just sorta hanging around because he can't go back to his job. When he does remember his powers and activates them, it frightens her and she begs him to stop before he actually destroys the world.
  • Insanity Immunity: She's unapologetically a little off. The game later makes this her way of avoiding Noctua Rex's spell: she doesn't have any regrets, so she's immune to being trapped in them.
  • Insistent Terminology: Morte is sixteen, not seventeen! Wanted posters listing her as a year older is sort of a sore point for her.
  • I Take Offense to That Last One: When discussing the various things the Ferals call her, she claims she dislikes the name "Lady Death" because it's too unoriginal.
  • It's All My Fault: In the manga, she was the one who wished for a world full of talking animals, but was tired and forgot to also wish that they would be friends with humans. Realizing that she's the reason the world's been a mess for the last thousand years does not sit well with her.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Prefers watashi. Just because you're going to end the world doesn't mean you need to be crass about it.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In the anime, and to some extent in the game as well.
  • Jerkass: In the manga.
  • Karma Houdini: Never seems to pay for anything she's done, especially in the game. Unless you count three days of grief-induced starvation. Somewhat in the manga, too, though there she does die briefly, though she's brought back to life no worse for wear. Nothing happens to her in the anime, either, though there her crimes are almost entirely an Informed Flaw and there's not as much karma for her to weasel out of.
  • Kick Chick: The game makes good use of her kicking animation; the anime, surprisingly, doesn't show her affinity for foot attacks.
  • Kick the Morality Pet: In the manga she snaps at Kyrie after he snaps at her and then announcing that he's going to turn himself into the World Salvation Committee. She attacks him in a fit of rage but Toppi and Naja stop her thus Kyrie proves his point.
  • The Kid with the Remote Control: In the game, the Crimson Sun eventually decides to teach her the words that control Kyrie's Destruct powers. It's just as well, considering she's the only one he'd listen to at that point anyway. Luckily, most of her crazy has been turned to more constructive uses by then; she now intends to use his powers to recreate the world.
  • Lady of War: You'd expect someone who plans to end the world to look haggard. You would be wrong.
  • Leg Focus: A DVD Omake nicknames her "The Leggy Terrorist". Odd, considering the anime downplays her Kick Chick tendencies.
  • Mad Bomber: In the game, where she's more upbeat about ending the world. Several of her special attacks involve explosives, including a Molotov Cocktail. The ferals also have a rumor that if the Scarlet Plague doesn't blow something up often enough, she starts getting the shakes. Morte claims that's not true, but Stuff Blowing Up is very cathartic and helps clear her mind.
  • Magic Skirt: If she ever crouches facing the viewer, things become inexplicably dark under her skirt. It’s not immune to tears though. Somewhat less magic in the manga, where it manages to ride up far enough to expose the edge of her butt at least once a chapter (though it does stop short of showing anything more).
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Kyrie would have been perfectly content to simply let life happen to him were it not for her suddenly showing up.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • Morte means death, and she desires to kill the world.
    • Ashera is the name of an ancient mother goddess, wife of the creator of the world. When Kyrie remakes the world at the end of the game, effectively becoming the new creator, Morte remains by his side. She's also the first to suggest remaking the world. In the manga, she's literally the being responsible for reshaping the world each time it's destroyed, making her something of a mother to it.
  • Ms. Fanservice: In the manga, because her Magic Skirt isn't quite so magic. This is in contrast to the game and especially the anime, where she's actually quite defensive of her modesty.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Her general sentiment in all things is to just kill it and be done with it, up to and including the entire world. At least at first. She later decides changing the world is better than ending it - but if anyone tries to stop her, it's still fastest to kill them.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Her whip-thin arms are perfectly capable of swinging that giant blade around, and her Blow attacks are some of the hardest-hitting in the game.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: She actually has several in the game: "Scarlet Plague", "Beastslayer", and "Lady Death".
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Kyrie thinks she's this in the game, that she really cares about the state of the world but doesn't know any way to help except to end it. She seems to think perhaps he's speaking nonsense, but is too distracted by other plot to really reply. It turns out he may have been right, as once she learns he might be able to fix the world, she's as gung-ho about that as she previously was about using his powers to destroy everything.
  • Oblivious to Love: In the game, Agan notes that she wasn't aware what Kyrie meant to her until he asked Naja to kill him so he couldn't destroy the world. She also never seems to notice his giddy swooning when they first meet.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Oh so much.
  • One-Handed Zweihänder: Occasionally, particularly in the game.
  • One of the Boys: Agan thinks of her this way and is flabbergasted any time she says or does something feminine in the game.
  • One-Man Army: She can take out groups of enemies by herself with ease. However, the only thing that prevents her from going on a killing rampage is when Kyrie gets himself captured.
  • Parental Abandonment:
    • Her parents are never mentioned in the game, even when visiting the Bacchitav Caravan where she grew up. She's on good terms with Chief Mardrus and treats Agan like a brother, so it's possible something happened to her parents and she was raised by them.
    • In the anime, both her parents died during fighting with the ferals, some time between age seven and twelve. Losing her brother after that is what finally made her snap and decide to end the world.
    • In the manga, Agan says she had no one growing up, and their childhood flashback shows him offering her a bowl of food, perhaps with the implication that she was a homeless orphan.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: In the game, the only one who thinks anything of her killing Rajiv is Kyrie, and he's quickly swayed into believing that he deserved what she did.
  • Pet the Dog: She does this a lot in the anime. Inverted in the manga. Then played extremely straight and literal in the final chapter, as Kyrie remembers when he first fell in love with her: she was holding a puppy and suggesting that the new world should have talking animals.
  • Pink Girl, Blue Boy: With Kyrie, though their expected personalities are flipped.
  • Pink Means Feminine: Despite her prowess in and enjoyment of battle, Morte is quite insulted when Agan insinuates she isn't feminine, as if her bright pink outfit wasn't clue enough.
  • Power Fist: Some art seems to show her with some sort of metal bands on her hands, similar to brass knuckles; the right is attached to a bracelet via a chain, and the left is sewn into her glove. However, she's never shown to strike an enemy with her fists; the only time she hits anyone is when she punches Agan or Kyrie in annoyance, not to deal real damage. The anime, in particular, recolors the silver bands white, so that they blend into her gloves.
  • Psychopathic Womanchild: In the game, much of her destructiveness has a playful bent to it; Stuff Blowing Up is just plain fun and she doesn't think about the consequences. Agan even treats her like a toddler throwing a tantrum when she sulks about attending the peace talks, suggesting that a snack and a nap will improve her mood.
  • Put Them All Out of My Misery: In the video game, she really just wants to destroy the world. The fact that it's full of Fantastic Racism is just a convenient excuse.
  • Relative Button: Agan may as well be her older brother. If you like your innards where they are, you don't hurt him.
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: In the game and manga, she has a romantic version with Kyrie and a non-romantic version with Agan. Apparently it takes a tag-team to keep up with her.
  • Say It with Hearts: In the manga, though many of the things she says are not the sort of things you'd normally say with a heart.
  • Sexy Backless Outfit: The manga shows her back through a corset-like lace in her coat. Averted by the anime, where her coat has a solid back. It's difficult to tell in the game, since every time she's shown from the back, her hair is in the way or she's only a tiny sprite.
  • Sleeves Are for Wimps: Her long coat is sleeveless despite the fact that she's not muscular at all; just don't mistake her slim figure for weakness.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Depending upon the adaptation (and sometimes the current piece of art within an adaptation), Morte may fall here. Other times, she appears to be a blue-eyed redhead or a green-eyed brunette.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Always falls for Kyrie being a Nice Guy, even if at first she was just In Love With His Destruction. Interestingly, the manga brings this to the fore using his Evil Counterpart - Vreveil looks exactly like Kyrie and has the same destructive abilities, but actually wants to use them instead of thinking they're a curse. However, when she mistakenly thinks he's hitting on her, she just brushes him off. Apparently there's something else she likes. Somewhat in the game as well, as the first real hint that she feels something for him is when she notes that he's nicer than Agan and not ribbing her for being caught off-guard by a Feral.
  • Sour Outside, Sad Inside: In the anime; averted in the game and manga. Though Agan reveals she was quite sad as a child in the manga, so she may still be carrying that sadness but had repressed it so deeply that even she forgot it was there.
  • Spell My Name With An S: The Funimation dub changes her last name to Urshella, dropping the Meaningful Name from it (but then, her name is least meaningful in the anime anyway, so it's not as big a deal).
  • Sugar-and-Ice Girl: In the anime toward Kyrie with a mix of Tsundere.
  • Supporting Leader: Kyrie is the main character, but Morte is the leader (and perhaps only "true" member) of the World Destruction Committee and the plot kicks off and follows her more than him.
  • Token Evil Teammate: She's the only one of the main characters who really wants to destroy the world, despite their entire team being named for doing just that.
  • Tranquil Fury: When Rajiv beats Agan, she switches from her usual gleeful destruction to a very cold, calculated demeanor and kills him slowly offscreen. Even Kyrie is a little disturbed and notes "Morte has a dark side."
  • Troubled, but Cute: In the anime. Not quite so much in the game or manga, as she's more welcoming of company and less prone to brooding.
  • Tsundere: Type A in the anime.
  • The Unapologetic: She doesn't dwell on the past and so sees no need to apologize. So it happened; either do something about it, or get over it and move on. This manner of thinking protects her from Noctua Rex's illusions: as she has no regrets, his spell can't trap her in them.
  • The Unchosen One: In the game, Kyrie was born to destroy the world; nobody said anything about some random girl who wanted in on the action. As it turns out, falling in love with her is what keeps Kyrie from losing control when the Destruct Code is used. That definitely wasn't in the Creator's plans for the world.
  • Villain Protagonist: In the manga and video game. Subverted in the anime in which she tries to be one but ends up helping other people on their journey.
  • Waif-Fu: She's only 5'4" (165cm) but is more than capable of taking care of herself in a fight and wielding that BFS
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Kyrie believes her to be one in the game, claiming that he can tell she loves the world in spite of herself and the only reason she wants to end it is because she can't stand to see it in the state it's in.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: In the manga, in order to make sure that there would be no more human slaves in a village, she blows it up. Kyrie calls her out on this.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Mostly in the anime, but even the manga Morte has sympathetic moments.
  • Worthless Yellow Rocks: In the game, she's annoyed at the number of treasure chests in the Azure Tower, because despite the number of rare and valuable items inside, the only one she wants is the one Felis Rex promised to trade for a new BFS; the others are worthless to her.
  • Worth Living For:
    • In the game, she eventually decides that falling in love with Kyrie is more important than destroying the world, and so calls off her path of destruction - particularly since Lacertus Rex mentioned the Destruct can be used creatively.
    • In the anime, her dream of her family convinces her that, as bad as the world is, it's still a wonderful place worth fighting to make batter and she doesn't need to end the world or herself along with it.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: In the anime, because despite her insistence that beastmen and humans cannot live together, Kyrie keeps seeing multiple moments where beast men are trying to change the world for the better and humans falling in love with beastmen.
  • Yandere: In the manga, at her worst.
  • Young and in Charge: She's 16 and the youngest of the Destruction Committee members.note  However, she's also got the most forceful personality, and she's not lacking in fighting experience, so no one questions why she's the one calling the shots.

Taupy Topuran

"I'm a professional."
Voiced by: Tōru Furuya (Japanese), Erik Braa (English game), Robert McCollum (English anime)

  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Shoes, gloves, a collar, and a bandana on his head, but no shirt or pants in sight.
  • Ambiguous Situation: In the game, it's unclear whether Muffy is actually his wife or just his live-in girlfriend. He refers to her as "my girl" but never clarifies whether that's short for girlfriend or just an Affectionate Nickname.
  • Badass Adorable: He kicks ass! This does not stop small children (or Kyrie) from squeeing over him.
  • Badass Armfold: One of his favored poses, including his Victory Pose in the game.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: In the anime and manga, he fights using only his fists. In the game, his weapons are gloves, which is pretty close.
  • Bears Are Bad News: For the enemies anyway.
  • Berserk Button: Don't call him a teddy bear. The only person that has been able to live up to this day who called him one is Kyrie. However, in the anime, everyone calls him one and it pisses him off, but he never does anything about it.
  • The Big Guy: Despite being the smallest.
  • Declaration of Protection: Toward Kyrie. It is a "It's Just that Simple" case in the anime and video game. However, both of these later become the "complicated" type because of Kyrie's status of being able to destroy the world.
  • Eyepatch of Power: It doesn't do anything but it makes him look more badass.
  • Funny Animal: Clearly further down the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism than most other beastmen, but they don't seem to have any Fantastic Racism against him for it; they just mock him for being small and cute.
  • Furry Reminder: In the manga, he falls asleep and hibernates on the Winter Continent.
  • Honor Before Reason: He wants to be seen as a hero and insists on doing heroic things, even if he's stuck traveling with a girl who wants to end the world.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Prefers ore to emphasize his masculinity despite his small stature and cute looks.
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • The Mentor: For Kyrie in the anime and manga.
  • My Instincts Are Showing: In the anime, Taupy always insists that he isn't a bear and no one should call him one. However, when they visit the Winter Continent, he has a near-uncontrollable urge to hibernate.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Probably one of the strongest fighters in the game, thanks to being able to chain Flurry attacks. Capable of taking on much larger opponents in the anime and manga as well, while still being barely knee-high.
  • Rebel Relaxation: He often leans against a wall during cutscenes in the game.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: And he hates it.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Manly Man to Kyrie's Sensitive Guy.
  • Spell My Name With An S: A Japanese trailer and the Funimation dub spells it Toppy, while some fans prefer Toppi (the most literal and standard transliteration). The manga Scanlation flips between Toppi and Taupy, depending on the translator.note 
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: With his wife. He barely reaches three-feet in height, while his wife is around two stories tall.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Kyrie in all adaptations.
  • Vague Age: The game lists everyone's age except his. Some Japanese material implies that he's the equivalent of being in his twenties, though his chronological age may be different due to Ferals growing at different rates.
  • Verbal Tic: In the anime. Kuma in the Japanese version or Bear-o in some translations of the English version. He doesn't have it in his "inner voice" when he narrates; Kyrie questions why.

Agan Mardrus

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ebde6c3ca30373d0d8380f197b709667.png
"I am Agan the Green...and Red."
Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino (Japanese), Andre Ceglio (English game), Eric Vale (English anime)

In the game and manga, Agan is a close friend to Morte, having been in the Golden Lions with her. In the anime, Agan is just a smuggler unaffiliated with the Golden Lions, simply running into Morte, Kyrie, and Toppy through chance. Either way, he often assists the heroes, either for free or a price.


  • Adaptational Wimp: In the anime, though not to the same degree as Kirie. While he's shown to at least be able to hold his own enough to take out a guard by himself, he isn't suggested to be a particularly skilled combatant and rarely ever fights at all.
  • Badass in Distress: In the video game, he gets captured by the beast men and the group has to save him before he ends up in a Fate Worse than Death situation.
  • Break the Cutie: Subverted. Rajiv tries this method on him when captured. It goes horribly wrong.
  • The Chew Toy: In the video game, to some extent. Morte just loves to abuse him.
  • Childhood Friend: To Morte in the game and manga. The only thing that keeps him from being unlucky is the fact that he treats her like she's his obnoxious kid sister. They have no prior relationship in the anime.
  • Cool Boat: Too bad it has a tendency of getting damaged often. The funny thing is that it’s a nice boat too!
  • Deadpan Snarker: Across all versions, he's the primary purveyor of sly quips.
  • Demoted to Extra: While he's a main character in the game and manga who travels with the team (and in fact provides their means of transportation), in the anime he just happens to show up every couple of episodes.
  • Disappeared Dad: His father is mentioned to be dead in the game. You can get some of his old equipment for him if you complete a Side Quest.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Agan is captured, you can hear Rajiv beating him with a whip trying to get him to "submit". Naja leaves the area because he's disgusted. Rajiv then tries to break him by telling him that members of the Golden Lions betrayed him and got him captured because they're all selfish bastards. When Agan refuses to submit though, Rajiv then threatens him to use something that would hurt him beyond imagination. Umm, that sounds like something else...
  • Greed: In the anime, he's constantly trying to get money out of the World Destruction Committee, even when he just picks them up off driftwood in the Sand Sea and shouldn't expect them to have any money. In the game, while he helps for free, he's obviously very interested in treasure of any sort and gets rather excited over the Azure Tower's treasure room.
  • Houseboat Hero: In the anime. He’ll get off it every now and then but every time Kyrie’s group meets him, he’s always on a boat. In the game and manga, he's the owner of the boat that the team uses to get around; while he gets out on dry land more often, his home is still technically on the Sand Sea.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: To mark him as the calmer, cooler-headed member of the team.
  • I Gave My Word: As a smuggler, once he's taken a contract, he always fulfills the delivery. In the anime, the one time he didn't finish was when a young boy asked him to deliver a message to his older sister, then left before telling him who his sister was. He eventually figures out that it's Morte that the message was intended for.
  • La Résistance: In the video game, he has his own team called the Golden Lions until he got captured and was forced to join the World Destruction Committee. In the anime, he helps the Golden Lions but doesn't get involved with the actual battles like in the game.
  • Momma's Boy: Is hinted to be one in the video game to the point that he really doesn't want his mother involved with what he's doing.
  • My Name Is Inigo Montoya: One of his early lines (and his first Quip) in the video game is arguably a parody of this trope.
    "I am Agan the Green... and the Red!"
  • Never Bareheaded: Almost never seen without his hat.
  • Only Sane Man: Comes off as this.
  • Recruitment by Rescue: In the game, the Front saves him from being beaten by Rajiv in the Sky Gaol. Averted in other adaptations: in the anime, he never officially joins the team, and in the manga, he's already a member at the start.
  • Redhead In Green: Fitting his quip about being "the green and the red".
  • Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: In the game, his relationship with Morte is a non-romantic, brotherly variation. She drags him into her world annihilation mess, and he looks after her and makes sure she eats and doesn't get too crazy.
  • The Smart Guy: Across all versions, he's a planner first and a fighter second.
  • Spell My Name With An S: His last name is written マードル in Japanese, probably meant to be something like Mardol but given as Mardrus in the English game. No other version actually gives him a last name, so it's just a question of fans quibbling over translations. If he were keeping with the Religious and Mythological Theme Naming of most of the rest of the cast, he name may be meant to be Marduk.
  • Team Mom: Of a sort in the video game; his reason for agreeing to join the Front is to "keep an eye on you troublemakers". He's too laid-back to be a Team Dad, though.
  • Weapon Specialization: In the video game, he's quite skilled with his whip; he uses it briefly at the end of the manga, too. He does not carry a weapon at all in the anime.
  • "X" Marks the Hero: A cross shaped mark on the left side of his face. Subverted in the anime.

Rhi'a Dragunel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f19d7ace6d0cfb41bd942a0ead5c79b4.png
"All things come to nothing."
Voiced by: Yui Ichikawa (Japanese game), Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese anime), Michelle Johnston (English game), Trina Nishimura (English anime)

A dragon Feral who has lived for over 300 years. Being the last of her kind, Rhi'a desires to see the end of the world per to dragon tradition in the game; in the anime, she most certainly does not want the world to end and hates Morte for wanting to destroy everything. Despite being calm in the game, in the anime she's prone to becoming trigger happy. She's not a fighter in the manga, preferring to sing and be silly.


  • Action Girl: In the game and anime.
  • Adaptational Personality Change: Gets hit with this the hardest out of the cast. While she's relatively similar between the game and manga (she's slightly more of a Cloudcuckoolander in the latter and that's about it), she's a tough-talking, trigger-happy Blood Knight in the anime.
  • Adaptational Wimp: The manga robs her of her guns, and so takes most of her fighting ability (she uses her Breath Weapon precisely once). However, it's downplayed, as she's the Plucky Comic Relief and just stays out of fights in general, preferring to sing and be silly instead of becoming The Load and getting in everyone's way.
  • Ax-Crazy: In the anime.
  • Badass Bandolier: Her double-belt is actually a string of ammo. Interestingly, she still wears it in the manga, despite not having her guns there.
  • The Bard: In the manga, it's specifically stated that it's her duty to know the songs of the history of the world, and she sings a couple songs. The game implies this as well, giving her knowledge and Musical Theme Naming her attacks, but she never actually breaks into song.
  • Beam Spam: Part of her in-game Requiem Finishing Move, along with More Dakka.
  • Blood Knight: In the anime, where she's always itching for a fight.
  • Breath Weapon: In the manga, this is her only attack, as she lacks her guns.
  • Buffy Speak: Refers to Vreveil as "a shiny" in the manga, despite knowing both that he's an angel and his actual name by that point. It just makes her seem cutesy.
  • Clothing Damage: While her backless dress is protected against tears by her wings and tail, her gloves are ripped apart when her hands transform into dragon claws. In the final episode of the anime, she injures her arm falling down a ravine and Naja has to rip her sleeve off in order to bandage it.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: In the video game and manga.
  • Combat Stilettos: In the game and anime. Wears slightly higher and thinner heels than Morte, though they're not quite stilettos. Somewhat justified in the game, as she lived on a cruise ship before deciding to join the Front; practical shoes were probably not a primary concern with Felis Rex fussing over her all day. Averted in the manga, where her shoes are nearly flat.
  • The Cutie: In the manga.
  • Dumb Blonde:
    • Averted in the anime; she's not the brightest, often choosing to shoot rather than speak, but she has moments of clarity better than Naja.
    • The game plays with the trope: while she's a little cuckoo sometimes, she's also smart enough to realize that both humans and plants contain many of the same chemicals, such as water and nitrogen.
    • Played fairly straight in the manga, as she's permanently in Cloud Cuckoo Lander mode and her ditziness makes her seem quite stupid.
  • Draconic Humanoid: Of a Cute Monster Girl variety. Normally, she only has the horns and a series of small ridges down her back, though she's capable of growing a scaly tail and wings (the manga makes these a permanent part of her design).
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her general clothing style, though her personality is anything but doll-like in the anime.
  • The Fatalist: In the game, thanks to her Psychic Powers telling her what's going to happen and the dragons' Obstructive Code of Conduct preventing her from even trying to change fate. Kyrie eventually inspires her to try anyway.
  • Generic Cuteness: Apparently suffers from it, as while Morte is stated to be very pretty, Rhi'a has a near-identical face and similar figure, yet her appearance is never commented on (except by one random NPC on the Zifnir who you may miss if you don't Talk to Everyone, and who is only around for that one brief level).
  • Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Aside from black and white, the accents on her outfit are purple (including her scaly dragon body parts). This is more fitting in the game, where she's obviously of a high status and has a more traditionally-feminine personality.
  • Guns Akimbo: Her primary fighting style when she's not in dragon form.
  • The Gunslinger: In the game and anime.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: In the anime.
  • Immortal Immaturity: Rhi'a is 300, often taken as the draconic equivalent of fifteen. She acts far closer to your typical teenage girl than a centuries-old dragon in most cases; the manga makes her seem even younger in spite of her very full bra.
  • Lastof His Kind: In the game. In the anime, she mentions family in Dragon Valley, though when we get there, it's got nothing but large skeletons (she doesn't react, though, so apparently the place always looks like that).
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: All of her magical attacks in the game have musical-themed names. Using them makes her scream and blast the enemy.
  • Many Spirits Inside of One: When she summons the spirits of her ancestors, she summons the spirits of all her ancestors. They temporarily take over her body.
  • Meaningful Name: Rhea was a Greek Titaness who was often conflated with Cybele, known for giving visions to young female oracles.
  • More Dakka: Part of her in-game Requiem Finishing Move, along with Beam Spam.
  • Musical Theme Naming: Her techniques in the game are taken from musical terms.
  • The Nicknamer: She calls Felix Rex "Mr. Meow", Kyrie "Destruct", Elephas Rex "Woolly", and Naja "Barky" in the game. In the manga, she calls Morte "Okorinba-no-Punpun-san" Translation  and continues calling Kyrie "Destruct" and sometimes "Kyri-kyri".
  • The Ojou: Treated as one in the video game by Felis Rex.
  • Oracular Urchin: Somewhat in the game. While she's really 300, her body is that of a young teen and her ramblings don't always quite make sense.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Horned Humanoid with the ability to sprout wings and a tail, with the ability to see the future.
  • Partial Transformation: In the game, many of her attacks make use of partial transformations. Her aerial attacks always use her wings, and her blow attacks use her claws and tail; if she doesn't need a dragon part, she doesn't normally transform it. She's never seen to take a full dragon form, though the very draconic skeleton of her great-great-grandfather implies she either has one or will gain one as she ages. She uses similar attack patterns in the anime, but in the manga, she simply always has her wings and tail and never transforms her hands into claws.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Thanks to being a human-shaped dragon. She's the smallest of the humanoid main characters, taller only than the teddy-sized Taupi, yet is capable of a large damage output with both her guns and transformed dragon form.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: In the manga. Occasionally in the game as well, though to a much lesser extent.
  • Prescience Is Predictable: Especially in the game, she's grown incredibly bored due to knowing things that will happen and not being allowed to act to try to change them. This is why Kyrie is so interesting.
  • Punctuation Shaker: It's unknown if it's a dragon thing or just a Rhi'a thing. Some translations render her name as just Lia, averting the trope.
  • Purple Is Powerful: She's a purple dragon and is as strong as you'd expect a dragon to be.
  • Really 700 Years Old: She's at least 300 years old.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Naja's Blue in the anime.
  • Say It with Hearts: In the manga. In contrast to Morte, her hearts are just an indication of child-like cuteness, rather than insanity.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: The dragonkin of the game have a rule governing their Psychic Powers in that they may see the future but may not act to change it. Rhi'a eventually decides to join up with Kyrie anyway, as she believes this is "the thing to do" even if it's not exactly what her ancestors would have wanted.
  • Seers: As a dragon, she's capable of seeing the future. This and the dragons' tradition of not interfering with the progress of the world has left her incredibly bored, as nothing surprises her and she isn't allowed to do anything about it. Apparently, however, she's got a little bit of a blind spot when it comes to Kyrie and Morte - the former because he's not quite human and is out to change his own destiny, the later because she's just plain chaotic and unpredictable.
  • Sexy Backless Outfit: Normally, it shows off the little row of ridges down her spine, though it also allows her to sprout her wings and tail without Clothing Damage (her tail seems to grow from somewhere up around her kidneys rather than her pelvis).
  • Shipper on Deck: In the manga, she squees when it's clear Kyrie and Morte share feelings. She's similarly happy for them in the game, perhaps because they're the first couple she's ever met that she doesn't know the outcome for, so she gets to experience the joys of shipping for the first time. Averted in the anime, where she's got a bit of a crush on Kyrie herself and hates that Morte spends so much time in his company.
  • Spell My Name With An S: A Japanese trailer and the Funimation dub, as well as some fans, prefer her name simplified to Lia, though this doesn't preserve the Punctuation Shaker in リ・ア.
  • Stocking Filler: With visible garters to hold them up, though they don't seem to be attached to a belt. Instead, they double as gun holsters.
  • Third-Person Person: In the manga.
  • Tsundere: In the anime, she's Type A to everyone and Type B to Kyrie. Averted in the game.
  • Unknown Rival: To Morte in the anime. She has a bitter, seething hatred for her, but Morte just sees her as yet another World Salvation Committee mook.
  • Useless Accessory: Her belt becomes this in the manga. It's full of ammo, but she has no guns to shoot them with.
  • Voice of the Legion: Speaks with one when channeling her ancestors.
  • Willing Channeler: In the game, she's capable of channeling the spirits of her ancestors all the way back to the first dragon (all at once), in order for Kyrie to ask them questions.
  • You Monster!: In the video game, she says this (and it becomes her final Quip) to the Big Bad Lacertus Rex upon finding out he wants to make a new world with humans as the base material.

Naja Gref

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f9eb83ecbb8cfcff48b19ce7ff68b5d2.png
"I will stop you, though it cost me my life."
Voiced by: Hiro Mizushima (Japanese game), Daisuke Ono (Japanese anime), Awwab Bukhari (English game), Anthony Bowling (English anime)

A half-human, half-beastman born to the previous Lupus Rex and a human woman, which earns him a large amount of scorn and racism; how racist changes in all three formats. Very analytical and competent, Naja is the main pursuer to the World Destruction Committee.


  • Adaptational Wimp: Not suggested to be a particularly strong fighter in the anime, where he rarely gets involved in physical action. This is in contrast to both the game and manga, where he is a skilled warrior and soldier.
  • Batman Gambit: In the anime, he does this to find the main characters.
  • Clothing Damage: Like Rhi'a, his gloves are ripped apart when his hands transform into claws.
  • Friendly Enemy: In the anime, where he intends to win the Destruct Code from Morte via gambling and is always trying to find a compromise compared to Rhia who just wants to shoot Morte dead.
  • Furry Reminder: In the manga, he wags his tail when happy.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Naja is an Arabic naming meaning "survived", but it's traditionally given to girls.
  • Half-Breed Discrimination: No one lets him forget he's a half-breed because of this. Many of his peers at work insult him due to the standing of humans as slaves, mocking that his blood or Naja himself smells of human and even treating him terribly despite his possibly high rank. Rajiv, who Naja works under, insults Naja almost immediately after the game starts and calls him out for his half-breed species in the manga. In the anime, it doesn't even seem like the boss of the entire World Salvation Committee likes Naja.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Stated in the game that he's the son of the previous Lupus Rex and a human woman. The anime and manga mention that he's a half-human, but don't say who his father was.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In the video game.
  • High-Class Gloves: Wears fancy tight like gloves, but has no fingers like a long sleeve.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Uses a set of wind and fire wheels.
  • In-Series Nickname: In the game, Morte calls him "Professor" and Rhi'a later dubs him "Barky", which he dislikes.
  • Intro-Only Point of View: He's the first character you control in the game, but doesn't even appear on screen for quite some time after switching to Kyrie; after that, he's an antagonist. Until he joins your party to help resurrect Kyrie.
  • Lineage Comes from the Father: He may be half-human, but apparently Feral traits are dominant over human ones, as he looks indistinguishable from those of pure blood. However, he apparently smells a little different.
  • Little Bit Beastly: Like most of the Ferals, including full-blooded ones, he appears largely human with just a fluffy tail to set him apart from normal humans.
  • Missing Mom: He believes her to be dead since his late childhood/early teen years. She's actually in hiding in Mechto, but he never quite realizes it even after speaking to her.
  • Noble Demon: He's a nice guy, but it's expected seeing how his workplace treats him.
  • Not So Above It All: He's exasperated by Morte's bombastic behavior, but his Victory Pose is nearly as flashy as hers.
  • Out of Focus: While he's one of the most central characters to the narrative in both the game and manga, where he gets plenty of solo focus to provide insight on the inner workings of the World Salvation Committee, in the anime he's mostly just Rhi'a's more reserved partner. His past and history of being subject to Half-Breed Discrimination, both critical parts of his character in the game and manga, are also only alluded to a few times in the anime.
  • Partial Transformation: His various attacks in the games that use his claws rather than his wind-and-fire-wheels only require his arms to change.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: When he transforms into his stronger wolf-like state, his hair is much longer, in addition to the fur that covers his arms.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's consistently the Blue, though who is his Red varies: in the game, it's Rajiv, but in the anime, Rhi'a takes the role with her new Hair-Trigger Temper.
  • Scarf of Asskicking: In traditional red.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Prone to using big words, especially in the manga. "Thermal nociceptors" anyone?
  • Sixth Ranger: In the game, where he joins the team last after spending most of the story as an enemy.
  • The Smart Guy: In the anime and manga, especially, but the game makes it clear he's no idiot, either.
  • Specs of Awesome: Is perfectly capable of keeping up with the rest of the cast without removing his glasses.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Funimation and Kuu Scans render his name as Nadja.
  • Stoic Spectacles
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Averted. While he's got the white hair, the red eyes, and the pretty face, he's also an extremely decent guy - the only reason he's an antagonist is because the party is out to destroy the world. The game sets the black-haired, black-hearted Rajiv up as his Foil.
  • Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: In the anime, he tends to fall for the stupidest things. One episode comes to mind where he talks to this robot over again telling it that he and Rhia are part of the World Salvation Committee (which the robot messes up because Alligator Lord did not want them interfering with his plans). Naturally, Rhia is seen as the smarter one of the two in this situation where using violence actually got her somewhere.

    Beastlords 

Ursa Rex

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fb91992823568aec199996675e7882bb.png
Ruler of Zetska Manor and nearby Barni Village, where Kyrie lived.

Felis Rex

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e25a5fb51ab19736745045d99c243a3f.png

Porcus Rex

Lupus Rex

The current ruler of the wolf tribe; he deposed Naja's father for marrying a human woman.

Rana Rex

  • Bad Boss: He’s not very nice to his child workers.
  • Human Resources: He works children to the point of exhaustion in his gardens, then uses their bodies as fertilizer.

Pistris Rex

  • Adapted Out: Makes no appearance in the anime or manga.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Subverted. Despite Pistris Rex's motive to hold the peace talks, he was actually very reasonable, and he would have helped end the conflicts between Beastmen and humans peacefully.
  • Shark Man: He requires a water circulator over his gills to breathe, but has no trouble speaking.
  • Threatening Shark: Averted; he's apparently a decent guy (for all five minutes we see of him).

Serpens Rex

Elephas Rex

  • Adapted Out: Not mentioned in the manga.
  • The Atoner: In the anime. He used to be a great general and killed many humans, but has since dedicated himself to helping everyone regardless of race.
  • Combat Medic: Just because he's a doctor doesn't mean he doesn't know how to defend himself.
  • Dressed to Heal: He wears a Labcoat of Science and Medicine despite the heat being a very real danger on the Summer Continent.
  • Frontier Doctor: Especially so in the anime, though he still shows some shades of this in the game.
  • Good Is Not Soft: In the game. Despite being an extremely kind doctor, he refuses to allow Morte to access the Temple of Light to resurrect Kyrie, because he is dangerous and could very easily destroy the world; he sacrificed himself to keep the world safe, and Elephas Rex thinks that sacrifice should be honored and the dead should stay dead. When she refuses to turn around and forces the fight, he's a rather tough boss battle.
  • Honorable Elephant: He'll treat anyone, including members of the World Annihilation Front/World Destruction Committee.
  • Lone Wolf Boss: In the game, as the Front makes their way toward the Temple of Light he attempts to stop them. He seems to take no issue with humans and has no part in the political machinations of the rest of the Beastlords, but is still set against the party.
  • Super Doc: In the game, Rhi'a insists that he is the best doctor in the whole world, bar none. He even knows how to dispel curses.

Aquila Rex

  • Adaptational Villainy: While he's an arrogant jerk in all adaptations, the manga turns him into a backstabbing traitor, dangerous even to those apparently on his side.
  • Feathered Fiend
  • Giant Flyer: He's tall for a man, but that's really big for a bird.
  • Large Ham: In the manga.
  • Pride: His downfall every time:
    • In the anime, he witnesses several of his men turned to sand. He then attacks Kyrie, who turns his sword and then him to sand.
    • In the game, he underestimates the World Annihilation Front. Naja pleaded with him to send for reinforcements, but Aquila Rex sneered at the idea of even wasting an entire platoon against five measly people.
    • In the manga, he underestimates Naja, due to him only being a half-breed. He was confident that he was the absolute best and fastest fighter, but was undone by his Achilles' Heel: he's afraid of fire, like all Ferals, whereas a half-human is not.

Noctua Rex

Another of the twelve Beastlords. He traps the Front in their own memories.
  • Adapted Out: Is not mentioned in the manga or anime (the Depths of Memory is apparently just a natural property of the cave there, rather than a spell).
  • Master of Illusion: He tricks the members of the Front into reliving their worst memories. It doesn't work on Morte, as she lives in the moment and doesn't dwell on regrets.
  • Ominous Owl

Lacertus Rex

The founder of the library at Galoa. He likes reading and giving lectures, and often stays neutral in regards to the other Beastlords’ decisions.
  • A God Am I: Eventually believes himself to be able to use Kyrie's power as the Destruct to recreate the world to his liking - with himself as its supreme ruler, of course.
  • Actually a Doombot: The first time you fight him, it's just an automaton.
  • Affably Evil: In the game, he’s polite to the characters even after revealing his true motives.
  • Ambition Is Evil: It leads to delusions of godhood.
  • Big Bad: In the anime and the game he’s manipulating everyone to gain control of the Destruct and become a god.
  • Faux Affably Evil: In the manga and video game.
  • In Their Own Image: What he plans to do.
  • Never Smile at a Crocodile: In the anime and manga, he's clearly evil. In the game, he's actually rather helpful the first time you meet him, but that's only because he wants Kyrie's powers for himself.
  • Non-Indicative Name: His English name is actually a misnomer - Lacertus is in fact a genus of skink, rather than the Latin word for crocodile.
  • Non-Mammalian Hair: Has a rather large braid in back of his head. It's possible it's a wig, as he has a general old-and-stuffy look and a colonial powdered wig wouldn't be entirely out of character, but it's never touched upon.
  • Reptiles Are Abhorrent: In the anime and manga and game.
  • Ridiculously Human Robots: He's capable of producing them. In the anime, they don't particularly look like beastmen or humans, but have personality far beyond what would be needed for simple worker drones. In the game, he's capable of making perfect copies of living or previously-living people.
  • Running Both Sides: He exerts control over the other Beastlords via manipulation, and is also the leader of the World Annihilation Front.
  • Treacherous Advisor: He’s the boss of the World Annihilation Front, and the one who gives Morte her instructions, but he’s using her to become a god.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's hard to talk about his role in the game without spoiling some things. His role is simpler in the anime and manga, making talking about him less of a minefield.

    Primal Lords 

Azure Sea

The origin of water in the game world. Killing him dries up parts of Viteau, making new areas available for later exploration.

Golden Earth

The origin of soil in the game world.

Crimson Sun

The origin of fire in the game world.

Jade Zephyr

The origin of wind and breezes in the game world.

    Celestial Beings (unmarked spoilers for final boss and manga) 

The Creator

The Creator of the entire world who has grown tired of it and now wishes to destroy it using Kyrie.

Vreveil

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sodvreveil.png
One half of the Destruct system in the manga, the other half being Kyrie himself. Like Kyrie, he's capable of turning things to sand. Unlike Kyrie, he wants to fulfill his destiny to destroy the world.
  • Archangel Uriel: Vreveil is actually an alternate name for Uriel (in some interpretations of The Book Of Enoch, anyway). He's got both the Light and Death facets pretty well covered.
  • Big Bad: In the manga, since he’s the one trying to destroy the world.
  • Celestial Paragons and Archangels: Specifically named Archangel Vreveil.
  • Canon Immigrant: Appears only in the manga.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Has the same ability to turn things to sand that Kyrie does.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Kyrie. They look alike and fight alike, but Vreveil wants to destroy the world.
  • Evil Redhead: The only real way to tell him apart from Kyrie, aside from the wings.
  • The Grim Reaper: For the world. When the world's thousand years are up, he and Kyrie are supposed to destroy it so it can be remade into something new.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Favors ware when referring to himself. Normally uses anata when addressing others, though he calls Kyrie onore because he's a very disobedient assistant.
  • Light 'em Up
  • Light Is Not Good: His light is extremely destructive and he almost seems to take a certain amount of glee in using it to kill people.
  • Not So Stoic: Until the end of the manga, when Kyrie realizes he has Creator powers as well as Destruct powers. Suddenly Vreveil becomes capable of extremely intense shock, anger, perhaps even fear... and then smiles as he dies, as he's finally free of his fate.
  • Number of the Beast: Has six wings.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: A manga cover depicts him with reddish-brown eyes.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming
  • The Stoic: His usual facial expression is one of impassive nonchalance. It isn't specifically stated what his voice is like, but you could read his lines in a Creepy Monotone and it would be perfectly fitting.
  • Winged Humanoid: Six of them.

    Other Characters 

Uncle Agni

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8157f5f787576e6dbdbec78863f460b8.png
Kyrie's uncle who has raised him since he was young in the game.
  • Adapted Out: He's not mentioned in the anime or manga.
  • Cool Uncle: Kyrie seems to respect him quite a lot.
  • Meaningful Name: Agni is a Sanskrit word meaning "fire", and is also the god of fire and heat in Hinduism. This Agni is in fact the Crimson Sun, elemental embodiment of fire.
  • Parental Substitute: Kyrie lost his parents when he was young, so Agni stepped in.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Like the other residents of Barni, he was one of Kyrie's victims the first time his powers got out of control. Except he wasn't. As the Crimson Sun, he's the one who activated Kyrie's powers and was perfectly fine.
  • Supreme Chef: It's clear where Kyrie got his culinary skills from.

Rajiv

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6c753e6ffa62163914f74c4c2c1e8350.png
The son of the current Lupus Rex.
  • Adaptational Heroism: The manga makes him far more sympathetic than the game ever did. While he's still extremely arrogant and racist, he does really desire to save the world instead of just using his position as an excuse to do whatever he wants.
  • Adapted Out: He doesn't show up in the anime.
  • Asshole Victim: In the game, he's shown to be an unrepentant jerk at all turns in the game so that you'll have zero sympathy for him when Morte kills him for torturing Agan.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: His first option when confronting an opponent is to charge head-on at them. Naja is worried this is going to get him killed.
  • Beleaguered Childhood Friend: In the game, Naja comments that they used to be friends, but he can't believe the man Rajiv has become.
  • Foil: To Naja. Whereas he's calm and calculating and has a general sense of honor, Rajiv is brash and petty. They even share a similar design with a flipped color palette.
  • It's All About Me: He's extremely selfish.
  • Hate Sink: The game is slow about trotting out its true Big Bad (Lacertus Rex, who’s pretty Affably Evil), so Rajiv is there for the first third of the game to give you someone to really hate.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In the manga. He's still got a really abrasive personality, but does genuinely desire good for the world.
  • Jerkass: Any time he's on screen in the game, he's not doing anything nice, whether that's insulting Naja or beating Agan for fun.
  • Manchild: Whenever Rajiv gets particularly impatient, he will furiously stomp his feet, just like a child throwing a tantrum.
  • Plot-Irrelevant Villain: Aside from being a Hate Sink, most everything he does is irrelevant: Naja could've locked Kyrie in jail on his own, and Agan would have been sought out to add to the team whether or not he needed rescuing first. Rajiv just provides some extra boss fights.
  • The Proud Elite: Being the equivalent of a prince and a skilled fighter has done absolutely nothing for his modesty.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Naja's Blue in the game. Their actual color palettes are switched, however.
  • Scarf of Asskicking: In blue.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Kuu Scans translates his name as Rajif.note 
  • Torture First, Ask Questions Later: Agan tells him he's got his order wrong: he's beating him senseless without asking any questions. Rajiv replies that he doesn't need answers; he's just having fun.
  • Torture for Fun and Information: He really gets a kick out of beating Agan.
  • Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Averted. While your first fight against him with just Kyrie and Morte isn't particularly tough (as it's one of your first and the game is still easing you into the mechanics), your final fight against him to rescue Agan is much tougher (despite the fact that you've added Taupy to your team), to the point that many players quit the game at that point because of the sudden difficulty spike.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: In the manga. He has a good goal - saving the world from terrorists - but refuses to listen to reason and jumps in without considering the consequences.

Karna

The commander of the Golden Lions and Agan's old friend.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's blond and wants nothing more than for humans to be free to live as they please.
  • Hero of Another Story: He and Agan had many adventures together in the past, and he's currently fighting Feral tyrany...somewhere just outside the scope of the plot.
  • Rebel Leader: Leads the Golden Lions against the Beastlords.
  • Sacrificial Lion: He's one of Kyrie's victims the second time he loses control of his powers.

Muffy

  • Adapted Out: Not even so much as mentioned in the manga.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Taupy addresses her as "Kitten"note  half the time.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Whether she's Taupy's wife or just his live-in girlfriend.
  • Demoted to Extra: While she was already an extra in the game, the anime relegates her to just being a memory that Taupy once unsuccessfully hit on at a bar.
  • Satellite Love Interest: What does she do aside from sit at home waiting for Taupy?
  • Supreme Chef: According to Taupy, her home cooking is some of the best around.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The Huge Girl to Taupy's Tiny Guy.

Reve

An anime-only young man whose importance to the plot is not revealed until very late in the story.

Aya and Shin

A human woman who was falsely imprisoned and a beastman prison guard who have fallen in love.

Yappi

An old friend of Taupy's who was once a fellow member of the Hero Guild.

Kou

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bd58fef4fa62ea20442ec9026b360e25.png
Naja's second leutenant in the manga. He's a bit of a fanboy and records everything Naja does, so he always has a camera on hand.
  • Camera Fiend: Always carrying around his large camera. Naja actually seems to appreciate or at least accept this, as it makes research easier when everything is recorded.
  • Canon Foreigner: Appears only in the manga.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: He has a very pretty face, and his humble, gentle way of speaking doesn't help. The only way to be sure he's male is to take note of his very flat chest.
  • Instant Fan Club: He's a big fan of Naja and respects him a great deal. Unfortunately, due to Half-Breed Discrimination, he's probably Naja's only fan.
  • Little Bit Beastly: His usual form is entirely human except for a wolf tail.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Uses watashi, which makes him sound polite and a touch formal - or feminine, as men normally change to ore or boku among friends, whereas women may continue using watashi.
  • Our Werewolves Are Different: He's capable of transforming into a much more wolfy form when he needs to, usually using it to move faster or complete feats of strength or agility that human limbs can't accomplish.
  • Royal Rapier: This and his snappy suit imply that he's of some high status in Wolf Tribe society.

Dragonkin Elder

Rhia's grandfather and an expert on the nature of the world. She suggests Kyrie consult with him to learn about his powers and destiny.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: In the manga. It's obvious where Rhi'a got her nuttiness from.
  • Dem Bones: He's nothing but a very large skeleton.
  • Dracolich: A very large dragon skeleton. Unusually for the trope, he's actually not a bad guy.
  • A Form You Are Comfortable With: What does a dragon's spirit look like? Unknown. It's easier to communicate with mortals when you have a physical body for them to look at, so he haunts his own skeleton and uses telepathy to talk to anyone nearby.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Favors washi, as he's an old man.
  • The Storyteller: Not only is this his job, but the manga chapter which introduces him is titled Kataribe (The Storyteller).
