Kirito notes that he senses no malice from her at first and she only attacks upon seeing Alice being injured. She also seems to be the only one who sees the various flaws in Quinella's rule, but she never acts on them and only seems to discuss them with Bercouli, who agrees with her to a degree.

[[folder: Layla]]
!! Layla

A mysterious, hooded Cross Edge player with a grudge against the game's producer, Epsilon.
----
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Layla and her brother had a strict father who disliked his son's meekness. After their mother died, their dad JumpedTheSlipperlySlope and turned outright abusive, with Layla taking the brunt of the abuse in an effort to protect her brother.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: [[spoiler: It's revealed that her motivations for investigating Cross Edge for dirt on Epsilon, to the point of coming into conflict with the false [=PoH=], is because she suspects the company put her younger brother in a coma so they can steal the rights to Cross Edge for themselves.]]
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: To Eydis, the original character for ''Unleash Blading''. Both are experienced warriors[[note]] Layla technically being the oldest Cross Edge player due to creating it with her brother and testing the combat system, while Eydis is the 10th of the Integrity Knights with at least a hundred years of experience under her belt[[/note]] with DifficultButAwesome abilities[[note]] Layla's unique BifurcatedWeapon and Eydis' FogOfDoom[[/note]] and {{Cool Big Sis}}sters with whiteish hair and dark clothing, who started off opposing Kirito before coming round to his side. However, whereas Eydis is an older woman, wielded a [[KatanasAreJustBetter Katana]], and is a GenkiGirl who lived in a canonically existing VR world, Layla is a younger-looking woman wielding [[DualWielding a pair of short swords]] [[BifurcatedWeapon that can be used as a double-bladed one]] [[spoiler: and later a [[DoubleWeapon double-bladed broadsword]]]], who generally comes off as more {{Stoic}} and levelheaded and plays a non-canonical game.
* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler: If her BigSisterInstinct wasn't enough of an indicator, it's evident that Layla adores her younger brother, Micheal. When Kirito and Leafa compliment her swords in one event, she's quick to go on a gushing rant about how her brother designed them and go on about how talented he is.]]
* CurbStompBattle: After ending up in a battle with three players and getting harassed by them, she proceeds to take all three of them down before leaving in a huff.
* DeviousDaggers: Wields a pair of dagger-like short swords and she's something of a CombatPragmatist, with her first encounter with Kirito involving her attempting to ambush him when he ends up in a restricted area, assuming he's with Epsilon.
* DoubleWeapon: [[spoiler: After struggling with a loss of purpose over her brother becoming more independent and not requiring her protection as much, she eventually chooses to switch out the dual blades he gave her with her old, double-bladed broadsword. She also cites pragmatic reasons for this, stating that Epsilon likely had their {{Mook}}s train or prepare for dual wielders in mind.]]
* DualWielding: She wields a pair of daggers that [[BifurcatedWeapon she can connect by the pommels to create a double-edged sword.]]
* InTheHood: Wears a read hood that she uses to hide her face.
* {{Stripperific}}: {{Downplayed}}.

[[folder: Micheal]]
!! Micheal

Layla's younger brother, whose sudden coma after a meeting with Epsilon compels Layla to investigate the company. After [=PoH=]'s initial defeat, he awakens from his coma and joins the group in investigating Epsilon.
----
* IWorkAlone: Upon awakening from his coma and meeting Kirito and his friends, he tries to tell them that they're help is no longer required, wanting him and Layla to not involve others in their grudge with Epsilon.
* LightIsGood: In contrast to Layla, Micheal is decked out in mostly white clothing, but is just as dead set to stopping Epsilon and saving his game.
* RedHerring: After meeting Kirito's group and making his and Layla's IWorkAlone status clear, he says sinister things in regards to Layla making friends while alone, before meeting with [=PoH=] and Goliath to discuss official giving the rights to Cross Edge to Epsilon, suggesting that he's actually part of the BigBadEnsemble. As the two deduce however, this was merely a ploy in order to learn more about Epsilon's goals and they're quick to attack him, only for Kirito and Layla to pull a BigDamnHeroes.
* WorfHadTheFlu: It's generally {{Implied}} that, being the one who designed Cross Edge, Micheal is among the stronger players in the game, but his combat skills are hindered from having only recently woken up from his coma and still recovering, to the point that Layla effectively forbids him from taking part in the Battle Royale to hunt down Epsilon agents.

* ShrinkingViolet: Comes off as timid and nervous.

[[folder: "[=PoH=]" '''SPOILERS''']]
!! [=PoH=]
A mysterious individual bearing a striking resemblance to Laughing Coffin's former leader. He goes around Cross Edge targeting dual-wielders to [=PK=] and has the mysterious ability to wipe their memories of the encounter, prompting Kirito and his friends to investigate. It's eventually revealed that he's not the real [=PoH=], but one of the red soldiers who participated in the ''War of Underworld'' who quickly grew to admire real [=PoH=], before being subsequently traumatised by what Kirito [[AndIMustScream did to him.]] He then went on to try mimicking [=PoH=] in Cross Edge, which got him approached with an offer to outright turn him into his idol.
----
* FreudianExcuse: The imposter was a natural born leader in his youth, often finding himself taking lead in group projects and festival planning. As he grew up however, he found that people became less inclined to listen to him and ended up growing more forceful with his orders, which culminated in him suffering bullying so bad that he had to drop out of high school. He then started playing [=MMOs=] and found his leadership talents needed once more in leading other players, only for history to repeat and leading to him becoming a solo player.
* OneWingedAngel: In the final confrontation with him, he turns into a giant, hulking monster with a cleaver resembling his fallen idol.
* PretenderDiss: Suffers one at the hands of Kirito, who taunts him for lacking the charisma that made the real [=PoH=] so dangerous, prompting a VillainousBreakdown.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: A rather mundane example that nevertheless severely impacted his life. Growing up, the imposter found himself to be good at leading, often able to organise school events with a good deal of success. Unfortunately, as he entered high school, he began to find that he lacked the charisma to make his leadership stick, with people slowly starting to not listen to him and going as far as to bully and isolate them when he grew more forceful as a result.
* SoreLoser: Is accused of being one by Goliath for his reluctant to fight Kirito after his first defeat.
* SlasherSmile: Like the real [=PoH=], his default expressions consist of these and {{Psychotic Smirk}}s.
* StarterVillainStays: He's the first antagonist of ''Variant Showdown'' whose actions prompt Kirito and his group to join Cross Edge to investigate, with his exact identity and motives being revealed before he ends as the DiscOneFinalBoss. Despite this and the VillainousBreakdown he suffers after his defeat, he returns later working alongside fellow Epsilon Agent, Goliath.

A large muscular player armed with a giant gauntlet, and an agent of Epsilon.
----
* BoisterousWeakling: He’s quick to get on [=PoH=]’s case for losing to Kirito, only to later get beaten himself due to his lack of actual skill.
* PsychoForHire: Before being hired by Epsilon, Goliath was originally a street thug who would shake people down for money or take jobs from criminals to commit assaults. The reason he agreed to work for Epsilon was because he recognised that this wasn't sustainable in the long term.
* ScaryBlackMan: A tanned BloodKnight with no issue being involved with a company that experiments on its playerbase.
* UnskilledButStrong: Kirito described him as this after their fight in the Battle Royale Tournament; he’s undoubtedly as strong as he looks, even if Kirito speculates he may be utilising cheats, but his fighting style is geared more towards [[{{Sadist}} making his opponents suffer]] as opposed to actually winning a fight, with Kirito going on further than his has less refinement in his style than even a new player.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Being used to able to intimidate anyone he came, he's caught off guard by his defeat by Kirito after his attempts to do this fell flat, with it taking a while to realize that this was the case.

[[folder: Es]]

A high-ranking member of Epsilon, who's heading the research into the PAAC system.
----
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: To list off, he's heading research in a system creates realistic simulations of pain, uses it on a minor to steal the rights to the game he and his sister made, has agents attack players in the game to test said pain simulator, and then organises a battle royale tournament to get a bunch of unwitting test subjects from the playerbase for his agents to attack and torture.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Like Sugou, he's a CorruptCorporateExecutive using a VR game as a front for some morally dubious research. Bonus points for having blonde hair like Oberon.

* MorphicResonance: Koharu is one of the few players who used her real life appearance for her avatar before Kayaba reset it. This is because she formerly used an account for VR shopping (which requires your real life appearance) and when moving to SAO she converted accounts without changing her avatar.

As [[SuperPoweredEvilSide [Memories of the Abyss] Eydis]], her outfit is a lot more revealing, sporting a CleavageWindow, [[BareYourMidriff a triangular cut-out on her stomach]], and a skirt and garter-belt leggings that serve to show off her legs.
