* TheArcher: Doubles as TheBard, Kileha's skillset primarily makes use of bow weapons. When equipped with a weapon that enables magic, she can also utilize song skills. Her ability with music also allows her to bypass the Ballroom obstacle in the Palace area without needing to enter combat.

Pronounced after [[spoiler: failing to take the Book of Keys by force from the protagonist]] on the Sage Route, he expresses his frustration to the fact that [[spoiler: Deneros entrusts the book to the protagonist, and not him, and he scrambles off deep into the ruins.

The player can select a dialogue option of "wanting to be with him," to which he responds with disgust... then replying that he'll stay in town for the time being, denying that he's doing so for the protagonist's sake, before turning his face away.

* BrutalHonesty: In a conversation with Allson, Theresia tells him that his idealistic platitudes about joining forces for justice lack substance, and that he's mainly saying these lines because they sound cool. This rings true in that he's naïve about the political situation of Kness Dukedom, where not all factions want to explore the ruins for altruistic reasons and some [[spoiler:like Teor]] are willing to betray others for the sake of their ambitions.

The main playable character, who seems to have a mysterious destiny concerning the ruins near Holm.
----
* CantDropTheHero: The protagonist generated by the player cannot be taken out of the party. This can make it hard to formulate a party at the beginning of the game, since many characters will have skill overlap with the protagonist, though their skills will diverge as they level up. This also means the protagonist will get the brunt of EXP, but their EXP requirements are higher in order to compensate.
* MysticalWhiteHair: While the player can choose the protagonist's mugshot, they will always be albino. [[spoiler:This is because they're descended from a clan of humanoid demons specifically bred to be Titus I's new vessel, all of whom are albino.]]


Added DiffLines:

A friend of the protagonist who lives with several other orphans.
----
* DuelBoss: On the rogue route, [[spoiler: if the player refuses to participate in Pingar and Teor's planned assassination of Duke Kamur, they will fight Paris because the latter is desperate for help from Pingar and revenge against the Duke and the protagonist wants to prevent their friend from doing something they'll regret.]]


Added DiffLines:

The unusually strong daughter of a local shopkeeper.
----
* JackOfAllTrades: Nell has physical attacks, offensive fire spells, and healing spells. She can also learn multiple forms of crafting from leveling up and doing Gallio's sidequest. However, her stats lean more towards being [[MightyGlacier physically strong and slow]].


Added DiffLines:

A one-armed swordsman who has seen his fair share of battles.
----


Added DiffLines:

An arrogant mage who seeks the Books of the Dead.
----
* MyGreatestFailure: If Syphon is taken to the blizzard event at the top of the Giant Tower, he'll apologize in his sleep. In town, a conversation between him and Deneros reveals that Syphon accidentally killed his friend in an experiment gone wrong. It's implied that Syphon wants to obtain the Book of the Dead to find some way to revive his friend.


Added DiffLines:

The maid of Duke Kamur, who also has assassination skills.
----
* LethalChef: Despite being a maid, she's very likely to produce failure dishes when using the cooking skill.


Added DiffLines:

An idealistic knight of the Kness Dukedom.
----
* SupremeChef: He and Kileha have the highest chances of making a proper dish when using the cooking skill.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Enda has high attack, magic, and defense growth, but her equipment options are more limited, especially when it comes to weapons. She can only equip dragon gems and can only obtain new ones by defeating the optional dragon bosses. This is downplayed when she gets her final dragon gem, which is well-balanced in terms of stats. However, her limited armor options still make it difficult to build her resistances.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Enda is the reincarnation of the Dragon King, whose corpse is in the bottom of Dragon Tower due to being killed by Demon Lord Kulum. [[spoiler:Her status as the Dragon King makes it so that the protagonist is required to defeat or recruit her in order to earn the right to wield Fia's Lazurite.]]
