The deluxe edition of the game adds two more potential {{Love Interest}}s for Marcus.
[[folder: Fox]]
The master of spies in the Ortheran court, Fox is an extremely mysterious person. He serves as King Kendrick's personal assassin, and answers only to him.
* AnimalMotif: He's known ''only'' as Fox.
* CoolMask: He wears one more often than not; he's only seen without it in his romance path. It looks more like a cat than a fox.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His presence in the vanilla edition of the game amounts to basically this; Marcus never even has a conversation with him.
* GrayAndGreyMorality: According to the official art book, his morals are "questionable at best."
* InTheHood: He usually wears a hooded cape.
* PersonalMook: After a fashion, to King Kendrick.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Cesca]]
Cesca is a young noblewoman, and the chief archer in the Ortheran army.
* TheArcher: Her job.
* ColdSniper: With arrows instead of bullets, but she fits the trope otherwise. Those who serve underneath her are put off by her cold personality.
* {{Pride}}: One of her main failings. The art book says that she's very concerned with how others see her, but too stubborn to change her own views easily.
* RoyalBlood: Well, noble blood, anyway. Her father is an Ortheran nobleman.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has dark purple hair.

!! Marcus Cordale
The {{player character}}, a young woman who has been raised as a boy for her own protection.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: The higher Marcus rises in the military, the more these weigh her down.
