Dual Wielding: In Ed's official art, his main weapon a pair of dual daggers called Saw Twin Blades.
Noble Fugitive: Is actually the prince of the Miasui Icedom.
Only in It for the Money: Non-villain example. Ed tells himself he's only doing it for the money for survival since it’s part of his job as a mercenary.
Trademark Favorite Food: Warm Seafood Stew, and his special favorite is Whipped Coffee. As with Bastien, he doesn't actively dislike a lot; he explains in one episode that food was scarce where he grew up and so couldn't afford to be picky. But the few dislikes he does have tend to feature eggs.

Lydie Delacroix

Date of Birth: March 23rd, 984 Year of the Creator
Age: 15 (999)
Weapon: Dual Guns
Character Design: Shun Saeki
Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)

A young genius, she was working hard at research and absorbing knowledge while in the mansion where she was under de facto house arrest. The books she read in her spare time gave her concerns about the world, resulting in her setting out on a journey to prove her hypothesis.

Child Prodigy: Smart enough to make use of the reactor technology from the empire to create her guns and ammo as well as being able to read the energy emitting from the primordial beasts.
Color-Coded Characters: Bright Pink.
Guns Akimbo: In Lydie's official art, her main weapon is a pair of dual guns called Pink Beast Pistols.
Height Angst: Lydie sometimes laments about her current height because everyone mistakes her for a child. She thinks about creating nutrient drinks that help her to grow taller.
Little Miss Snarker: At odds with her appearance involving pink and pastel colors, plushies, and unicorns; her personality is actually quite deadpan and taciturn.
Older Than They Look: She has the appearance of a child, but according to her main profile, she's 15 years old.
Trademark Favorite Food: Neon Pop Candy, and her special favorite is Colorful Vitamin Chewing Gum.

Ana-Maria Marschner

Date of Birth: May 27th, 982 Year of the Creator
Age: 17(999)
Weapon: Sword
Character Design: Shun Saeki
Voiced by: Miku Itō (Japanese); Megan Shipman (English)

The daughter of the second emperor of the Gildllan Empire. A sheltered child since birth, she grew up without any knowledge of the outside world and lacks even basic facts. Through her travels with the party, she gradually learns about the world and its hidden truths.

All Just a Dream: Averted. As a child, Alexandra tells her to go back to sleep and thinks her kidnapping was a dream. She was convinced and went back to sleep.
Chuunibyou: She believes she's the hero in a grand adventure, out to smite evildoers (with no thought to whether she's actually being heroic).
Color-Coded Characters: Red.
Katanas Are Just Better: In Ana-Maria's official art, her main weapon is a katana called White Princess Blade.
Know-Nothing Know-It-All: She's studied all sorts of things from her books, but she tends to think that the world is like one of her adventure stories, leading her to make several wrong assumptions and take personal offense when others say she's wrong.
Lethal Chef: If she's the character who learns a recipe in-story, it's ends up some sort of noxious purple concoction that ends up poisoning whoever eats it. Only Charles actively likes her food, and most others hate it (Bastien and Edouard being the exceptions that can tolerate it).
Locked Out of the Loop:
- Ana-Maria wasn’t aware August sends his soldiers to kill her because she is the previous Emperor’s only child. She believes the Emperor’s soldiers who were sent to kill her are stalkers.
- As a child, Ana-Maria wasn't aware she was kidnapped by a bandit named Ludwig who almost sold her off.
Parental Neglect: Ana-Maria's father rarely visits her due to his position as emperor.
Trademark Favorite Food: Crispy Takoyaki, and her special favorite is Irresistible Yakisoba.

Charles

Date of Birth: January 25th
Age: Unknown
Weapon: Staff
Character Design: Shun Saeki
Voiced by: Miyu Tomita (Japanese); Brittney Karbowski (English)

A loyal supporter of Ana-Maria who always puts her first and acts accordingly. He, however, has a sharp tongue and treats everyone other than his lady like the scum of the earth.

Ambiguously Human: He has some close connection to the Primodial Beasts. He himself has denied that he's human, though we still don't know what he actually is.
Color-Coded Characters: White.
Exotic Eye Designs: His eyes are blue with a distinct red circle surrounding his pupils.
Jerkass to One: Inverted. Ana-Maria is the only one he's not a Jerkass to. He's especially hostile to anyone he thinks is disrespecting "his lady" (which is just about everyone, since he tends to view anyone but her in the worst possible light).
Magic Staff: In Charles’ official art, his main weapon is a staff called Silver Trident Staff.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: While he generally assumes the worst in others, he really doesn't like Raoul and trash-talks him constantly.
Sycophantic Servant: Charles continually gushes about how beautiful and wise Ana-Maria is, to the annoyance of almost everyone else.
Trademark Favorite Food: His favorite recipes are all Ana-Maria's cooking. Yes, even with her Lethal Chef status. His favorite is "My Lady's Lv. 1 Rice Ball" and his special favorite is "My Lady's Lv. 2 Baked Apple" (burnt to a crisp).

Raoul

Date of Birth: August 10th
Age: 31
Weapon: Spear
Character Design: Shun Saeki
Voiced by: Subaru Kimura (Japanese); Brandon Potter (English)

A self-described archaeologist who claims that his job is to investigate and study ruins. He, in fact, has a profound knowledge of the subject, but those around him have deep suspicions nonetheless. He is at that delicate age where he stubbornly rejects any suggestion that he is old.

Adventurer Archaeologist: Very much styles himself as such.
Butt-Monkey: He doesn't get a lot of respect from anyone; with everyone razzing him about his age and casting doubt that he's a real archaeologist.
Color-Coded Characters: Orange.
Competence Zone: He's the Tales-traditional early-middle-aged guy that everyone else treats like he's past his prime.
The Drag-Along: To start with, anyway. He encountered Ana-Maria and Charles by pure bad luck, and even though they don't like each other they presumed that he was still traveling with them and badgered him into coming along. He later sticks with the group willingly (despite having to deal with the two), as interacting to the Primordial Beasts appeals to the historian in him.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: While everyone pokes fun at Raoul, Charles really has it out for him and will always belittle him when he gets the chance.
Trademark Favorite Food: Salted Sea Cucumber, and his special favorite is a Sticky Beans and Okra Bowl.
