ActionGirl: Ada. Her first big fight scene has her effortlessly jump onto a bandit's outstretched fist and kick them in the face.
NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "The Bloody Flames" already sounds like a group you wouldn't want to run into, and even ''they'' learn to fear Dante, "The Executioner".
TechnicalPacifist: Hayden and Ada will kick your ass, but aren't particularly into killing or maiming (at least Ada isn't). Kit takes it further as his fight revolves entirely around dodging and disarming his opponent without so much as throwing a punch.

Our story begins when a group of mercenaries known as the Bloody Flames attempt to assassinate Princess Jade Marigold. They disable her airship and slaughter the crew, but with the aid of her loyal bodyguards, the princess flees in an escape pod, only to end up in the clutches of some bandits.

Luckily, a trio of heroic travelers, Kit Vulpes and the BrotherSisterTeam of Hayden and Ada, are passing through. They make short work of the thieves and rescue Jade, letting her join them in their travels.

Meanwhile, her surviving bodyguards are scouring the land to find her. But whoever hired the Bloody Flames in the first place won't rest until the princess is out of the picture for good.
