History Characters / CoffinPrincessChaika

* BlatantLies: She lies rather frequently, often about about Toru. People almost always believe her.

* AdaptedOut: She is not mentioned in the anime during the adapted arc where she is first mentioned. When she is shown in the anime, [[InfantImmortality her baby isn't]].

Raised as a Saboteur since childhood, Toru knows no other way but the way of the sword -- which makes life after the downfall of Arthur Gaz all the harder. Bereft of all purpose in life, Toru slipped into five years of solitude while as the now-peaceful world moved on without him, with nobody but his adopted sister Akari looking after him.

While on a foraging trip with Akari, however, he meets a silver-haired girl who calls herself Chaika, who offers him an unusual hunt: that for the remains of none other than Arthur Gaz, her own father, to give it a decent burial. Despite every evidence pointing to the fact that gathering his remains is a ''bad'' idea (including reigniting a massive war), Toru nevertheless accepts the chance to relive the kind of life he thought he would never experience again.

As a Saboteur, Toru specializes on espionage; when he is forced in direct combat, however, he wields a pair of comblades and, when if needed, he can tao onto the Iron Blood Technique, which boosts his reflexes and strength in exchange for stamina.

* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Toru's main reason for accepting Chaika's dangerous (physically and politically) job offer.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Chaika from Ricardo at the last second in the Soara Fortress arc.
* ChickMagnet: At least three girls have their hearts set on him: Chaika Trabrant, Chaika Bogdan (who's {{tsundere}} about it), and... his own sister.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Now that the war is over, he has no reason to do anything. Chaika gives him one.
* DragonKnight: [[spoiler:Becomes a Dragoon Chevalier in the final episode.]]
* DualWielding: His {{weapon of choice}} is two short sword comblades with retractable wires built into the hilts.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:In the final episode, he makes a contract with Frederica to become a Dragoon Chevalier.]]
** HealingFactor: [[spoiler: He can heal himself now.]]
* {{Expy}}: Serves in the same role as [[LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess Shannon Casull]], except this time it's not his adopted sister he's protecting.
* HonorBeforeReason: He's given several opportunities to stop following Chaika in exchange for not getting killed or in some cases for even more money than what she offered him. However, he refuses to leave Chaika's side, and says that while saboteurs will work for the highest bidder, they also never betray whoever hires them while under a contract.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Although Chaika Trabant is technically the leader, it is Toru who keeps them focused on tasks.
* IGaveMyWord: His excuse for sticking with Chaika.
* KnifeNut: Fights with two daggers attached to a wire allowing him to attack at a longer distance. He also uses throwing knives on occasion.
* LoveEpiphany: Possibly, in episode 12. He keeps his relationship with Chaika a professional one, however.
* {{Ninja}}: What Saboteurs essentially are. [[spoiler:In the last episode of ''Avenging Battle'', he renounces this and becomes a Dragoon Chevalier]].
* ObliviousToLove: He utterly fails to notice how Chaika feels about him.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Towards Chaika.
* SuperSoldier: As most Iron Blood users.
* VehicularThemeNaming: Acura is a luxury and sport division of Japanese automaker Honda, or, more precisely, its American branch.
* WarForFunAndProfit: Not that he loves war for its own sake -- it's just all he knows, and where he feels he belongs.

[[folder:Chaika Trabant / Chaika Gaz]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChikaAnzai (Japanese), Creator/KiraVincentDavis (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chaika_chaikab_9906.png]]

Current employer of the Acura siblings and daughter and heir apparent of the late Arthur Gaz. After running into Toru during his foraging, she is impressed by his fighting skills after he helps her defeat a dangerous mountain creature, hiring him (and Akari) to help her in turn recover her father's remains, now being used as potent energy sources, and give them a proper burial. Naturally, such a task ruffles some political feathers among the coalition that saw to Arthur's defeat five years ago, and as such she is a wanted person seeking protection -- something Toru and Akari are only more than happy to offer. Despite her infamous legacy, Chaika is nevertheless sweet kid, who also happens to suffer from amnesia regarding the five years since Arthur's death.

Chaika is trained in magic, channeling her spells through the gandr she usually keeps (dismantled) in the coffin she carries around with her. While her spells have proven ''very'' useful during combat itself, their effectiveness outside of combat has been... mixed. Aside from this, she seems to be a decent magical engineer, as shown by how she quickly refurbishes and repairs the run-down vehicle they find (and eventually use).

[[folder:Akari Acura]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Yuuko Hara (Japanese), Creator/JoanneBonasso (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chaika_akarib_8604.png]]

Toru's younger adopted sister, who has been looking after him ever since Arthur's fall. While ''disturbingly'' devoted to her brother, Akari's patience has its limits, and after five years she finally forces Toru to choose between either finding some work or getting stuffed at the taxidermist. Naturally Toru chooses the former, and in the process they find a longer-term job: guarding Chaika as she collects her father's remains, something she is content with now that Toru's old spirit has been rejuvenated.

Like Toru, Akari is also a trained Saboteur, and is more than capable of holding her own in a direct fight. Her weapon-of-choice for these occasions is a war hammer, though she's also more than willing to use this on Toru himself to keep him in line. For his own good, or at least that's what she claims... Obviously as an Acura, she can also use the same Iron Blood technique to boost her combat abilities.

* GoOutWithASmile: As seen in ''Avenging Battle'' Episode 7, Gaz' head was still grinning wickedly even after it had been [[OffWithHisHead severed from his body]]. This is apparently the one thing that [[ShellShockedVeteran disturbed Clay Morgan]] more than anything else.

* ZettaiRyouiki

%%* ZettaiRyouiki

* ZettaiRyouiki

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Towards Toru.

* UnskilledButStrong: Her fighting style when impersonating Dominica. She herself only knows the basics from observing Dominica.
