| 12 | * BondCreatures: The introduced Guardians are powerful entities bound to their respective special individuals called Heirs, namely: Arkasus for Ras, Zeaon for Iseria, Kazran for Yuna, Kromcruz for Ludwig, and Ziegfried for Krau. |
| 13 | * TheChosenOne: Anyone of them classify, as they're bound to a certain [[BondCreatures Guardian]], but Ras is a special case since he is the chosen one of the goddess Diche, and has privileges that other Heirs lack. |
| 14 | * FamedInStory: The Heirs are treated highly since they are expected to save the world. |

| 26 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Libra |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The protagonist. An Heir created by the Goddess Diche to save the world of Orbis by defeating the Archdemon. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Ras's goal in Episode 1.5: "Unrecorded History". Because the world of Orbis has been saved from the Archdemon, he then finds a way to save Mercedes, whose soul got tangled with the Archdemon's Might. |
| 31 | * BadassLongcoat: His white coat that has a purple motif on the inner side. |
| 32 | * BroughtDownToBadass: He notes that with the Archdemon gone his duty as Heir of the Covenant is complete and he's becoming more "human" however it doesn't seem to make him any less powerful. |
| 33 | * ButNowIMustGo: After defeating the Archdemon at the end of Episode 1, Ras disappears during the commotion, with others thinking that he's gone. |
| 34 | * CameBackStrong: After Ilryos lets him access his power beyond what he had before. |
| 35 | * CharacterDevelopment: |
| 36 | ** He starts as a goddess avatar with no certain emotions, just wanting to fulfill his duty of destroying the Archdemon. But in the 7th World, he gains more humanly traits in each story chapter, thus he is able to come up with a satisfying answer to both Vildred and the goddess Diche. |
| 37 | ** Ras's goal of saving Mercedes in "Unrecorded History" is a sign of him finally having a personal motivation. He's saving someone whom he considers important, and not because of being bound to what gods and destiny told him to do. |
| 38 | * ChekhovsGun: In Chapter 5, Ras learns in Dun Blyraia that he can convert the Archdemon's Might into the power of creation. This later became useful in Chapter 8, where he resurrected Kromcruz in the Duselnorc sanctum using the creation energy. |
| 39 | * ChickMagnet: See all the girls he has ShipTease with. |
| 40 | * TheChosenOne: |
| 41 | ** Of the goddess Diche, has privileges that other Heirs lack, such as reincarnation and being stronger than regular humans. |
| 42 | ** [[spoiler:Ilryos gave his power to Ras in Episode 2, helping him defeat Faustus.]] |
| 43 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: A part of his motivation of SavingTheWorld, which was entrusted to him by Diche. Ras has a natural drive to help those in need. He explains this when he sees Gusma in trouble, as quoted below. When the Archdemon was defeated in Episode 1, this trait is still present in him wherever he goes. |
| 44 | -->Hmph... Maybe it's because of my duty, but if I see someone in trouble, I just can't leave them alone. |
| 45 | * CombinationAttack: His second skill guarantees a Dual Attack with an ally having the highest Attack stat in the party. |
| 46 | * DisneyDeath: He is nearly killed by Straze, but thanks to intervention from Kawerik and later Ilryos himself, Ras survives and grows gradually stronger than he ever was before. |
| 47 | * EurekaMoment: When he learns that the Archdemon's Might is similar to his energy, by virtue of also being created as an avatar of a god, Ras converts the Archdemon's might into the power of creation and absorbs it instead of destroying it. |
| 48 | * FamedInStory: While this is already a given for the Heirs in general, Ras's case sometimes zigzags this: |
| 49 | ** [[spoiler:{{Subverted}} at first as he was absent for some time in the 7th world and only woke up after a lot has already happened. This is why Iseria is initially bitter towards him. Played straight when he managed to prove his worth by defeating the Archdemon.]] |
| 50 | ** By the end of Episode 1, even shamans like Luluca heard of Ras as the hero who saved Orbis. |
| 51 | ** His actions at the end of Episode 1 is one of those that avert and play with this trope further. By going into hiding so that he can save Mercedes, the other citizens of Ritania thought that he disappeared. And when Episode 2 came, it's revealed that nobody on Cidonia knows that he's a hero, so he doesn't have any political influence. |
| 52 | * FishOutOfWater: At the start of the story, Ras doesn't really understand how humans think. But he slowly learns to understand them better throughout the chapters. |
| 53 | * FreezeFrameBonus: A few seconds just before the animated video of the Prologue ends, the last shot is a POV of Ras getting beheaded by Anghraf, while his headless body falls to the ground. |
| 54 | * FreudianTrio: With Arky and Mercedes, he's the ego, being the one who tries to rein in Arky's hedonism and aids Mercedes in her quest for an identity. |
| 55 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Ras is TheProtagonist of the main story and you aren't forced to have him in your team, but he can still be involved in the cutscenes even if he didn't participate in the in-game fights. |
| 56 | * GoodMorningCrono: After the prologue, the main story starts with Ras waking up in the World's End Pub after spending the past two decades asleep. |
| 57 | * TheHero: He's the Heir of the Covenant, after all. |
| 58 | * HeroesPreferSwords: He wields a sword, typical for an anime protagonist. |
| 59 | * HopeBringer: Even in the prologue, Vildred notes that this is a clear aspect of Ras. He's optimistic or calm. As he explains to Vildred, Ras has a strong resolve to keep opposing the threat of the Archdemon. When Iseria questions how Ras acts like he's indifferent to the suffering caused by the Archdemon war, he explains that he doesn't worry a lot in order to maintain hope for the residents of Orbis. |
| 60 | -->'''Vildred''': But you can’t give up. You're the Heir of the Covenant and this world's last hope. If the executor of the Goddess's will gives up, who will save the world? |
| 61 | -->'''Ras''': You're right. Even if all others have relinquished themselves to despair, I must trust in hope. |
| 62 | * HumanityIsInfectious: He notes that he begins to feel more human as he grows friendships with Yuna, Iseria, Mercedes, Krau, and Ludwig. By the time Season 2 rolls around, he's much more emotive than he was when he was unconscious. |
| 63 | * InTheHood: Spends most of the "Unrecorded History" episode under a black hood. |
| 64 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: When Ras and Yuna escaped from prison, he has this conversation with their pursuer Karin, but he only notices the last statement: |
| 65 | -->'''Karin''': Stop! Yuna Woo! And illegal alien smuggler perjurer confidential information leaker prison escapee Ras Eglarer!\ |
| 66 | '''Ras''': It's Ras Eclare!\ |
| 67 | '''Karin''': Ha! So you aren't denying the charges I laid before you!? |
| 68 | * LadyAndKnight: The dynamic between Mercedes and Ras. The latter is even categorized as a Knight class in-game. |
| 69 | * TheLeader: He's admired as the leader of the Heirs. |
| 70 | * LifeDrain: His ultimate skill, "Sword of the Heir", also restores a portion of his health. |
| 71 | * LivingLieDetector: Ras knows that Purrgis isn't an Heir, only trying to lure them away by mentioning that he has a Guardian. |
| 72 | * TheMainCharactersDoEverything: At the end of Chapter 3, Chief Secretaries Rish and Tish requested Ras and his friends to investigate the Ilryos Church in the Solyau Swamp on their behalf. Even Ras is surprised that a new responsibility is suddenly being pushed on him, but he still agrees either way since he knows it's a part of his quest in fighting the Archdemon. |
| 73 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: |
| 74 | ** Ras is a 3★ Hero at base, yet he already has a fullscreen cut-in animation for his third skill, a trait that's reserved for natural 4-5★ Heroes or those who are ugpraded via Specialty Change. Although this could simply be attributed to Ras's role as the protagonist. |
| 75 | ** Since you cannot receive duplicates for Ras from the gacha, he requires a unique type of item that can only be obtained in certain Story quests in order to improve his Memory Imprint. |
| 76 | * NiceGuy: |
| 77 | ** He has a good personality. Although he lacks some understanding of humans at first, he eventually [[CharacterDevelopment learns more and opens up]] throughout the story. |
| 78 | ** His attitude towards Meru definitely shows this, along with a moment in ''Nixied's Sanctum'' where he keeps working on Dominiel (a girl with crippling insecurities such as a massive inferiority complex) and saying he feels confident with her by his side in order to lift her spirits and make her feel better about herself. |
| 79 | * TheNondescript: For someone who's known to have saved Orbis, Luluca thinks that Ras doesn't look very special. |
| 80 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Nobody on Cidonia knew about him nor his achievements, so Ras is treated like a stranger. Initially, the citizens of Aakhen and Witchaven don't have a clear reason to listen to him. |
| 81 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When they are running away from Karin, Ras had to hide with Yuna near a bush, but the two are so close that Yuna blushes whenever Ras breathes. He can't help the situation though, otherwise they'd be found out. |
| 82 | * ObliviousToLove: Going by his Connections graphs with other females like Mercedes and Yuna, Ras has a "Friendly" view of relationship with them, despite the girls treating him with "Longing" and "Love" in their own respective connections with him. |
| 83 | * OutOfFocus: He's absent until the final level of ''Visitors From Another World'', due to holding back Zeno with a barrier from destroying Orbis. |
| 84 | * TheProtagonist: The main character of the game, of whom most (but not all) of the story centers around. |
| 85 | * ProtagonistTitle: The first Episode's subtitle, "Heir of the Covenant", is also Ras's title. |
| 86 | * RedBaron: "Heir of the Covenant" |
| 87 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Reincarnation is a [[UniqueProtagonistAsset unique privilege]] of Ras, because he's the Heir of the Covenant. Unlike the other Heirs who died with him in the Sixth World (e.g. Judge Kise and Ruele of Light), Ras returns in the Seventh World. |
| 88 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: Ras retains his memories throughout the world cycle. That's why he knew who Vildred was as soon as he woke up in the Seventh World. Naturally, Vildred is surprised that Ras knows his name and acts like he knows him despite sleeping for years. |
| 89 | * SavingTheWorld: The reason why Diche created him and his main purpose for existing. After the Archdemon is defeated, Ras aims to live like an adventurer. |
| 90 | * TheScapegoat: Because the Archdemon isn't fully defeated yet, Chaos Gates and Lands of Death appear within the continent, and people had to live in fear of being attacked by monsters. Queen Diene and Ras became targets of their discontent. |
| 91 | * ShipTease: Ras is shipped with Mercedes (the first girl and most likely the OfficialCouple), Yuna (she has a crush on him) and Iseria (has grown to "like him" as he proved his worth as an Heir). |
| 92 | * SituationalDamageAttack: The damage of his "X-Slash" and "Sword of the Heir" skills scale proportionally to his max health stat. |
| 93 | * SleptThroughTheApocalypse: Ras wasn't present in the Archdemon War, and had slept for 20 years. Thankfully, on the other hand, Queen Diene managed to save everyone. Aither puts a {{lampshade hanging}} on this: |
| 94 | -->'''Aither''': Oh! To sleep peacefully even when the world was about to be destroyed! As expected of the Heir of the Covenant! Wonderful! I couldn’t even dream of doing that! |
| 95 | * StarterMon: Ras is the player's starting 3★ Hero for being the protagonist. |
| 96 | * StatusBuffDispel: After his Awakening upgrade, his first skill, "X-Slash", has a chance of dispelling an enemy’s buff. |
| 97 | * TechnicalPacifist: Despite betraying Ras's trust, Purrgis was spared by him after their fight in Chapter 3. |
| 98 | * TookALevelInBadass: He evolves into "Adventurer Ras", a full-blooded human but with more godly power than he ever had as the Heir, just before his final blow on Incomplete Fastus, although his physical appearance doesn't change until afterwards. The indication is that he was blessed with the powers of both Diche and Ilryos combined in order to destroy Fastus' physical host. |
| 99 | * VitriolicBestBuds: He and his partner Arky bicker all the time, but its clear that they're dependent upon one another. |
| 100 | * WakingUpElsewhere: After Mercedes teleported Ras away from fighting Vildred, Ras wakes up in Chapter 8, surrounded by Iseria and Yuna in a forest. |
| 101 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Once Vildred betrays the heroes. |
| 102 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 103 | ** After Vildred kills Hanien, he then questions Ras why the latter, as the Heir of the Covenant, has been giving false hopes when he and the Goddess know that the world is in an endless war. |
| 104 | ** Iseria doesn't like how Ras seems so indifferent of the losses and suffering that the people had to endure as a result of the previous Archdemon War. What she doesn't realize is that Ras has quite a [[HopeBringer good reason]] to act this way. |
| 105 | * TheWorfEffect: He gets thrashed multiple times throughout the game despite being the child of the goddess Diche. Standouts include Arbiter Vildred, Zeno, the Archdemon himself, Straze, and [[FightingAShadow Incomplete]] Fastus. |

| 120 | The Second-in-Command of the Order of the Sword. Iseria is an Elf who is also known as the "Knight of White Flowers". |
| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 123 | ** A major part of her characterization and/or backstory is revealed in Episode 1 Chapter 5: "A White Flower Blooming in Winter". |
| 124 | ** She's the starring character in the "An Elf's Initiation" side story event. |
| 125 | * {{BFS}}: The Magic Sword that she summons using her "Full Bloom" skill. |
| 126 | * BreakoutCharacter: |
| 127 | ** At one point, Iseria's face became the game's official app logo. |
| 128 | ** She's the first Hero to receive a Christmas-themed outfit. |
| 129 | ** Iseria is the first 7th-World Heir to receive a Moonlight version, Briar Witch Iseria. |
| 130 | ** A fanart from the 2020 Website/{{Pixiv}} contest shows Iseria sleeping with Ras and Aither. It won the [[https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/5728999 title screen category]], and was implemented as an in-game splash art by the end of the year. |
| 131 | * BrokenPedestal: Seeing Ras and Arkasus act so playful towards each other, Iseria monologues that her faith in trusting them to save the world has been displaced. |
| 132 | * TheChosenOne: Of the Guardian Zeaon. At least in the Seventh World when he chose Iseria in Dun Blyraia, because in the Sixth World, Zeaon was the guardian of Ruele. |
| 133 | * CommonalityConnection: Silk is one of the few people whom Iseria is relaxed with, since both are elves. |
| 134 | * CooldownManipulation: Her second skill outright resets cooldowns for herself or any ally. |
| 135 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her "Refined Flower" and "Full Bloom" skills can also inflicting a debuff that decreases the target's defense. |
| 136 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She's downright nasty to Ras at first as she doesn't trust him, but she warms up to him and becomes one of his closest friends after he helps save her homeland. |
| 137 | * EasilyForgiven: Iseria left Dun Blyraia and is reluctant to return, fearing that the residents would shun her for abandoning her comrades during the Archdemon war. Instead, the Elf Elder Saria forgives Iseria for her actions. This gives her the motivation to fight Nilgal, and convinced the guardian Zeaon to heed her call after ignoring Iseria because of her reluctance. |
| 138 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Alexa may or may not have a crush on her. |
| 139 | * {{Expy}}: You can might as well say that Iseria is a reference to the Murakumo Units in ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' with her fighting style making use of several floating swords. This is evident in her basic attack animations. Even Iseria's third skill of summoning a giant blade in the sky is a reference to Nu-13's Astral Finish. |
| 140 | * ExtraTurn: After her Awakening skill upgrade, her "Oathkeeper" skill would grant her an extra turn after each use. |
| 141 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Not much, but she has a sheer half-stocking on one leg, whilst the other is bare. And her- ...gloves? are dark on one hand and white on the other. |
| 142 | * FlowerMotif: Is known as "The Knight of White Flowers", her ultimate attack is often invoked as "The Sword of Flowers", she wears flowers in her hair, and even her skirt resembles a blossom. |
| 143 | * FlyingWeapon: Has swords that constantly float around her, which she can use to strike enemies. |
| 144 | * HiddenDepths: Iseria's Connections graph reveals that she's a bit bothered by how often Alexa stares at her. |
| 145 | * IceQueen: She dismissive of Ras and subtly talks behind his back early in the story. This is a result of her [[BrokenPedestal broken expectations]] from the Heir of the Covenant. |
| 146 | * InTheBack: Iseria's basic attack makes her summon swords behind the opponent and stab them. Even its [[EXSpecialAttack Soul Burn effect]] has the final hit of the sword stabbing her target from behind. |
| 147 | * LadyOfWar: A high-ranking officer, yet well known for her beauty. |
| 148 | * MaleGaze: Iseria's [[SexyBacklessOutfit bare back]] is shown in her third skill's cut-in animation. |
| 149 | * MentorArchetype: She taught Alexa how to use a sword. |
| 150 | * NecessaryDrawback: When her first skill is Soul Burned, its debuff's proc chance increases but it won't trigger a Dual Attack. |
| 151 | * NumberTwo: She's the Second-in-Command of the Order of the Sword. |
| 152 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: She's an elf who can use several flying swords. |
| 153 | * PowerFloats: Levitates in her attack animations, and doesn't run so much as prances like a deer through the meadows. |
| 154 | * PrayerPose: She clasps her hands in this pose just before he summons the Sword of Flowers. |
| 155 | * PunnyName: Iseria's Christmas-themed outfit is named "Night of White Flowers", just one letter off from her [[RedBaron title]], "Knight of White Flowers". |
| 156 | * RedBaron: "Knight of the White Flowers" |
| 157 | * TheRival: She has a grudge against the Acolyte Nilgal for trampling her home forest. |
| 158 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Her back is exposed, but this is mostly seen in her third skill's animation, as well as in other official artworks. |
| 159 | * ShipTease: With Ras once she finally saw his worth of being an Heir. Even before that though, Vildred joked that Iseria is falling for Ras just because of how long she looks at him in Chapter 1. |
| 160 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: In Chapter 1, Iseria calls Arky a "strange lifeform" and Arky retorts by calling Iseria "pointy-ears". |
| 161 | * StatusBuffDispel: Her ultimate skill dispels the enemy's buffs after dealing damage. |
| 162 | * TheStoic: She's known to have a calm and solemn personality. |
| 163 | * SwordOfDamocles: Her third skill, "Full Bloom", summons a large Magic Sword from the sky to stab her target down. |
| 164 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Iseria will never forgive Arbiter Vildred for betraying the heroes and murdering Queen Diene. |
| 165 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Doesn't actually wield her swords, but rather flings them around with magic. |
| 166 | * TrueCompanions: She has several people whom she trusts like Silk, Charles, Ludwig, Alexa, Elson and especially Cermia who helped her adjust to the Human world. |
| 167 | * UndyingLoyalty: Even if Ras told them about the truth of Orbis and the cycle of the Archdemon wars, Iseria and Yuna didn't lose faith in the Goddess. |
| 168 | * WalkingTheEarth: She's reluctant to return to Dun Blyraia after abandoning her comrades during the war against the Archdemon. |
| 169 | * WhatTheHellHero: Iseria doesn't like how Ras seems so indifferent of the losses and suffering that the people had to endure as a result of the previous Archdemon War. What she doesn't realize is that Ras has quite a [[HopeBringer good reason]] to act this way. |

| 183 | |
| 184 | A high school girl who was summoned into Orbis and later became the Student Council President of Reingar and the Heir of the Guardian Kazran. |
| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: The student council president chosen by Kazran is the one who's destined to lead the city of Reingar. |
| 187 | * ADayInTheLimelight: |
| 188 | ** A major part of her characterization and/or backstory is revealed in Episode 1 Chapter 2: "The Fearless Girl". |
| 189 | ** She's the starring character in the "Reingar's Chaotic Moon Festival" side story event. |
| 190 | * AffectionateNickname: She calls her machines as her "babies". |
| 191 | * AreaOfEffect: Both of her offensive skills damage all enemies at once. |
| 192 | * BadassBookworm: A genius who's also more than able to repurpose machinery to help her fight off Unknowns. |
| 193 | * BarrierMaiden: Only the one tasked of protecting the sanctum's barrier guarding the Archdemon's Might is allowed to dispel it. As the Student Council President, Yuna dispelled the barrier in Reingar's Sage Minaret so that Ras can destroy the Archdemon's Might. |
| 194 | * ChildhoodFriends: Yuna and Tamarinne share this dynamic, as both came from the same world but are summoned into Orbis. |
| 195 | * TheChosenOne: Of the Guardian Kazran. |
| 196 | * CompanionCube: Her spherical attack drone, Tuna, functions as this, as she's never seen without it. |
| 197 | * ConstantlyCurious: Yuna is full of curiosity. |
| 198 | * CriticalHitClass: Her third skill is guaranteed to land a critical hit anyways, so critical damage is mostly used on her. |
| 199 | * FishOutOfWater: She's a high school girl from South Korea who was sucked into Orbis during what's implied to have been TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt on Earth. She brings all of her modernity with her, including a cell phone and a drone - how the former still works in Orbis is anyone's guess. |
| 200 | * {{Foil}}: Yuna came from another world, chosen by the Guardian Kazran to be an Heir and the Student Council President. However, she has been rejecting the roles simply because [[IJustWantToBeFree she wants to have the freedom to do want she wants]], or live a normal life. Plum, on the other hand, [[IJustWantToBeSpecial wanted to be someone special]], and sees the Student Council Presidency as a chance to fulfill his dream and to look down on those who laugh at him. Plum hates Yuna for casually throwing away the position offered to her, something that he had to work hard in trying to obtain. |
| 201 | * TheGlassesGottaGo: She takes off her glasses in her "Afterschool Party" outfit/skin. |
| 202 | * HeartbrokenBadass: When Ras disappears after finishing off the Archdemon, Yuna goes into a state of depression as she has feelings for him, although a letter from him brightens her up. |
| 203 | * IJustWantToBeFree: Yuna constantly rejects being the Student Council President and the Heir of Kazran simply because she wants to have the freedom of doing what she wants to do - experimenting with her machines. |
| 204 | -->'''Yuna''': On my world I was always told, "You have responsibilities as someone with talent." and "You shouldn't let your abilities go to waste..." And now on this world, it's "Make a contract with the Guardian and become and Heir", and "Become student council president." I just want to live and do things the way I want! |
| 205 | * KillSat: Quite literally and {{subverted}}, since her third skill shows a satellite dropping a laser gun for her to fire at enemies. |
| 206 | * LivingMacGuffin: Upon learning that Yuna is the chosen Heir of Kazran, Ras thinks of chasing and convincing her to accept her role as the Student Council President so that she may lower the barrier in Sage Minaret and for him to destroy the Archdemon's Might inside it. |
| 207 | * ManaMeter: She has a Focus mechanic, gaining stacks with her first two skills for a maximum of 5 stacks. A full stack is required to use her ultimate ability, "Meteor Cannon". |
| 208 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In the "Reignar's Chaotic Moon Festival" event, there's a unique item that allows players to upgrade Yuna's Memory Imprints similar to how it can be done with Ras and Mercedes. |
| 209 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: Her running animation has her tinkering with her phone. |
| 210 | * RefusalOfTheCall: Part of her early character arc is her utterly denying that she's destined for anything, which makes Yuna resist her roles as the chosen Heir of Kazran and the Student Council President of Reingar. Meeting Ras and Meru helps her to accept her roles, and doing this allows Kazran to appear to her and save the city from the Acolyte Tenebria. |
| 211 | * RhymesOnADime: She named her drone "Tuna", which also rhymes with her name. |
| 212 | * TheRival: She hates Tenebria for her attempts of destroying Reingar for fun. |
| 213 | * ScienceHero: Unlike most of the other characters who fight using mostly antiquated weaponry and magic (the most modern anyone else gets is firearms, such as the case with Pavel and Schuri), she brings attack drones, robots, and lasers into the mix. |
| 214 | * SeriesMascot: The game's engine, "Yuna Engine", is named after her, and it is also accompanied with her artwork when booting up ''Epic Seven''. |
| 215 | * ShipTease: It's very obvious that Yuna has a crush on Ras, to the point where she became [[HeartbrokenBadass depressed]] after learning that Ras disappeared at the end of Episode 1. |
| 216 | * SituationalDamageAttack: The damage of her "Homing Laser" skill increases when there are fewer enemies present. It also scales with her Speed stat. |
| 217 | * StarterMon: Heroes from Connections are obtained by completing quests. Most of them can be obtained very early on, making them good for beginners. Among them, Yuna is the only 5★ Collection Hero so far, So if the player is extremely unlucky with the gacha, Yuna can be their first 5★ Hero. |
| 218 | * StudentCouncilPresident: Her role in Reingar. |
| 219 | * SupportPartyMember: |
| 220 | ** Her first skill is an [=AoE=] attack that also bumps the party's Combat Readiness depending on the number of targets hit. |
| 221 | ** Her second skill boosts the Attack and Speed of the entire team for 2 turns. |
| 222 | * TeenGenius: A Korean high schooler who's also a brilliant researcher and inventor. |
| 223 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: She's summoned into Orbis, and the world she's from is implied to be 21st Century modern Earth. |
| 224 | * UndyingLoyalty: Even if Ras told them about the truth of Orbis and the cycle of the Archdemon wars, Iseria and Yuna didn't lose faith in the Goddess. |
| 225 | * WrenchWench: She's great with technology, is known for constantly running experiments, and is responsible for the building of Kikirat and Tuna. |

| 234 | -->'''Element''': Earth |
| 235 | -->'''Class''': Mage |
| 236 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Leo |
| 237 | |
| 238 | The Sole Survivor of the Nocturnes and the chosen Heir of the Guardian Kromcruz. |
| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * TheAgeless: Nocturnes perform a ritual that stops their aging. |
| 241 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: His ultimate skill, "Call of the Full Moon", also penetrates all of the enemies' Defense by a certain percentage. |
| 242 | * TheChosenOne: Of the Guardian Kromcruz. |
| 243 | * DefrostingIceKing: It takes a ''lot'' of effort from Ras and the gang to convince him that they're not bad people. Even after he befriends them, he's still a bit standoffish. |
| 244 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Lore-wise, the Nocturne clan is known for their ability to create barriers. In gameplay, Ludwig can have a barrier for himself if his ultimate move, "Call of the Full Moon", is a critical hit. |
| 245 | * GenerationXerox: Even if the Lunar Cemetery is now empty, Ludwig still resides there, just like how his fellow Nocturnes protected it in the past. |
| 246 | * JumpedAtTheCall: After Kromcruz was resurrected, Ludwig forgives Ras and joins his party out of the Nocturne clan's wishes for him to be free from his duties. |
| 247 | * LightEmUp: All of Ludwig's special skills involve using light-based attacks to damage foes. |
| 248 | * TheNicknamer: Sometimes calls Kromcruz as "Krom". |
| 249 | * NoSell: His second skill makes him invincible for 1 turn. |
| 250 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Being a Nocturne, he is well matured. Despite looking like a 10-year-old, he is actually at least 25 years old. This leads to funny moments with other characters such as Yuna or Baiken mistaking him as a little kid. |
| 251 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: A less minor example, but Nocturnes age quite slowly, so he's closer in age to his friends than he looks. This doesn't stop Yuna from treating him like a younger brother, much to his chagrin. |
| 252 | * SecretKeeper: He's one of the few that Ras and Arky reveal themselves to during the Interquel between Episodes 1 and 2, given that they require his unique powers to revive Mercedes. |
| 253 | * SituationalDamageAttack: His ultimate skill, "Call of the Full Moon", penetrates more defense when he has the Invincible buff. |
| 254 | * SoleSurvivor: Having lost people dear to him at the 6th World and all of his people at the Archdemon War 20 years ago prior to Episode 1, he becomes this. Now he has the title of 'Sole Survivor' |
| 255 | * SquishyWizard: He can launch some hefty magic spells at the enemy, but he absorbs hits like wet paper. |
| 256 | * StellarName: Ludwig's skills ("Starlight", "Moonlight Blow", "Call of the Full Moon") and Specialty Passive ("Moonlight Knowledge") are named after the moon and stars. |
| 257 | * SurvivorGuilt: As a result of being the Sole Survivor, Ludwig imprisons himself to the now-empty Lunar Cemetery for 20 years and blames himself during those times. |
| 258 | * TrueCompanions: The Guardian Kromcruz is very important to Ludwig more than anyone. |
| 259 | * UndyingLoyalty: He's a dedicated follower of Judge Kise. |
| 260 | * VideoGameStealing: With his first skill, "Starlight", Ludwig can steal the target's status buff and apply it to himself. |

| 268 | -->'''Rarity''': 5★ |
| 269 | -->'''Element''': Ice |
| 270 | -->'''Class''': Knight |
| 271 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Pisces |
| 272 | |
| 273 | A self-confident Knight of Taranor. |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He's the starring character in the "My Knight Would Never!" side story event. |
| 276 | * AnimeHair: Has a rather spiky hair, especially his right side. |
| 277 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: His ultimate skill penetrates the target's defense. |
| 278 | * ArtificialStupidity: Krau's Ziegfried [[CriticalStatusBuff deals more damage the lower Krau's HP is]]. Players could choose to use the skill at around 20% HP or lower, but his AI is set to use it at around 40-50% HP, dealing lesser damage than what the player would have intended to. |
| 279 | * AwesomeButImpractical: |
| 280 | ** Krau's basic skill has a good chance of [[DrawAggro provoking the enemy]], while his second skill pushes back the enemy's turn by decreasing their Combat Readiness. Unfortunately, most PVE [[ContractualBossImmunity bosses are immune]] to both effects. It also doesn't help that his second and third skills have long cooldowns, so Krau would end up using his basic skill a lot. |
| 281 | ** Krau's second skill also boosts the entire party's Defense for 2 turns. But because of its 4-turn cooldown and his low base Speed stat, it's difficult to keep this buff up. |
| 282 | * BadassArmfold: This is his artwork's pose. |
| 283 | * BadassCape: A blue cape is attached to his armor's shoulders. |
| 284 | * BrokenPedestal: Krau and Friedrich (back when he was still a Prince) discovered the Homonculus lab of the previous Taranor King, and they confronted him about it. |
| 285 | * TheChosenOne: Of the Guardian Ziegfried. |
| 286 | * CoolHorse: He can summon the Guardian Ziegfried, an armored horse. |
| 287 | * CriticalStatusBuff: Krau's ultimate ability, "Summon Ziegfried", deals more damage the lower his HP is. |
| 288 | * DrawAggro: His first skill, "Swordstorm", has a chance of provoking the opponent. |
| 289 | * {{Hunk}}: A lot of the boys in this game are svelte and pretty. Krau has a more muscular (but still very handsome) build. |
| 290 | * KnightlySwordAndShield: Uses a longsword and a large shield to fight. |
| 291 | * NecessaryDrawback: Since his ultimate ability scales its damage with his lost health, it's devastating when Krau is at extremely low HP levels. The drawback is that it won't trigger a critical hit. |
| 292 | * NiceGuy: He took Mercedes and delivered her to Queen Diene in the hopes that she would be raised to learn love and compassion, rather than meet her destiny to become the new empowered vessel for Archdemon Anghraf. |
| 293 | * OrwellianRetcon: Krau was previously listed in the Ritania section of the Hero Journal, under Taranor. An update moved him to the Star Genealogy section instead. |
| 294 | * PrettyInMink: His armor's collar section is lined with black fur. |
| 295 | * SecretKeeper: Krau knew all about the hidden Homunculi laboratory in Taranor way back when the previous king used it, and that Friedrich also got obsessed with it. In Chapter 9, Krau reveals this place to the protagonists, explaining that the Homunculi were created to conquer Orbis. |
| 296 | * ShieldBash: His second skill's animation involves this, positioning his shield up front as he charges forward. |
| 297 | * ShouldersOfDoom: His multi-layered pauldrons are larger than his shoulders. |
| 298 | * SituationalDamageAttack: |
| 299 | ** The damage of his "Swordstorm" and "Charge" skills scale proportionally to his max health. |
| 300 | ** The damage of his ultimate skill, "Summon Ziegfried", scales proportionally to his lost health. |
| 301 | * SupportPartyMember: His second skill also increases the defense of the party for 2 turns. |
| 302 | * TrueCompanions: Krau is known as a good friend of Queen Diene. Mercedes was brought into Tirel Castle because of him, and Diene pledged to take care of the Wraith girl. |

| 326 | A gentle Spirit Lord of light that has taken a form similar to Ras's fallen friend Ruele in order to travel with him to investigate mysterious goings-on with other, lesser spirits in the world of Orbis. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Or rather, one she is comfortable with as she chose an appearance similar to Ruele to honor her memory. |
| 329 | * AntiDebuff: |
| 330 | ** Her ultimate skill, "Destina's Grace", dispels all debuffs from the team. It also dispels before healing, enabling it to circumvent the Unhealable debuff. |
| 331 | ** Her Exclusive Equipment can upgrade her basic skill's effect by removing a debuff from the ally with the lowest health. |
| 332 | * GodInHumanForm: Destina is the Spirit Lord of Light and Autumn who appears in the image and likeness of Ruele. |
| 333 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Unlike Ruele, Destina's physical form is blonde. Very much like Ruele, however, she is an absolute angel of a person. |
| 334 | * LightEmUp: Though classed under the earth element in gameplay, her powers are primarily light-based. |
| 335 | * MightyGlacier: For a Soul Weaver, Destina has remarkable HP and DEF base stats, making her a good candidate for a frontline tank. However, she also has a low Speed stat. |
| 336 | * NiceGirl: For a given value of her not actually being a girl, she's magnanimous and polite to everyone that fights on the side of good. |
| 337 | * RedBaron: Her epithet is "The Beast of the Western Light," or more simply "Beast of the West." |
| 338 | * SignificantDoubleCasting: Ruele and Destina are both voiced by Creator/EricaLindbeck and Creator/AmiKoshimizu because Destina took on the appearance of Ruele out of respect. |
| 339 | * SquishyWizard: A powerful healer whose place is emphatically not at the front of the party (unless one goes for a [[MemeticMutation Masochist Destina]][[note]]Building a counter set on Destina[[/note]] or a "tank healer" build[[note]]Since her healing scales on her own HP[[/note]]). |
| 340 | * UndyingLoyalty: She loves Ruele so much that she created a clone of her when Ruele died. It also extends to other people, that she trusts anyone who are trusted by Ruele. |
| 341 | * WhiteMage: Her skill set mostly revolves around healing and removing status ailments from the party. As an added bonus, she can also boost the Combat Readiness of her allies. |

| 353 | -->'''Class''': Thief |
| 354 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Ares |
| 355 | |
| 356 | The Acolyte who also serves as the Commander of the undead Dust Walkers. |
| 357 | ---- |
| 358 | * AreaOfEffect: When Kayron has buffs on himself, his "Void Slash" skill turns from a single-target attack to an [=AoE=] attack. |
| 359 | * BattleAura: Both Kayron and his weapon are depicted in his artwork to be surrounded by a purple aura. |
| 360 | * BlackKnight: He's clad in dark armor, although parts of it glow purple. |
| 361 | * BroughtDownToBadass: He begins losing the full power of the Archdemon's Might at the end of ''Eulogy for a Saint'' due to Diene executing her plan to seal away Anghraf. This allows Diene and her allies to stomp him into next week. |
| 362 | * TheChessmaster: Manipulated the events of the story to bring back the Archdemon. |
| 363 | * ComebackMechanic: His "Immortal Will" passive can be summed up with this trope, granting Kayron a LastChanceHitPoint when he's about to die, combined with a [[CooldownManipulation full cooldown reset]] for his ultimate move, "Apocalypse". Since his skills scale with his lost HP, Kayron is at his strongest when he has only 1 HP, and "Immortal Will" just does that. |
| 364 | * TheComicallySerious: Especially when compared with the insane antics of both Tenebria and Nilgal. |
| 365 | * CooldownManipulation: His passive skill, "Immortal Will", also resets the cooldown of his third skill when it activates. |
| 366 | * TheCorrupter: For Vildred as well as for King Friedrich and Sigret. |
| 367 | * ClimaxBoss: Serves as this in ''Visitors From Another World'' along with Tenebria, shortly before the FinalBoss, Zeno. |
| 368 | * CripplingOverspecialization: His main gimmick is his "Immortal Will" passive. But since it's tied to a status buff, it becomes useless if Kayron is countered by the opponent with [[StatusBuffDispel Dispel]] (outright stripping him of his benefits) or Stun (making him waste a turn as his buff expires). |
| 369 | * CriticalStatusBuff: His first skill, "Void Slash", and third skill, "Apocalypse", deal more damage the lesser Kayron's current health is. |
| 370 | * DarkIsEvil: He commands dark magic, and is very much a depraved individual. |
| 371 | * DeathSeeker: This seems to be his motivation for assisting Anghraf in destroying the world, meaning he would finally be able to die permanently. |
| 372 | * DealWithTheDevil: It is said that he demands your soul and loyalty in return for releasing you from your grudges. King Friedrich of Toranor is one of those who made a deal with him. |
| 373 | * TheDragon: Seems to be the leader of the Acolytes and Anghraf's greatest servant. |
| 374 | * DragonTheirFeet: Continues with his plans long after Anghraf is gone. |
| 375 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: He has other plans that don’t involve his master as shown upon said master’s ultimate destruction. |
| 376 | * EvilCounterpart: Kayron is a more suitable counterpart to Ras. Their color schemes are the reverse of each other, both are Fire heroes and are leaders of their respective teams. |
| 377 | * FinalBoss: Diene's final opponent in ''Eulogy for a Saint'', powered by the Archdemon's Might, and he also serves as this for Vildred and Ras during an earlier world in ''One Blade One Truth''. |
| 378 | * FlyingWeapon: Just look at his artwork, he isn't even touching his weapon, it just floats. |
| 379 | * FragileSpeedster: At 129 base Speed, Kayron ranks as the fastest Hero in ''Epic Seven''. However, his HP is just above average, while his DEF is even below average, making him a soft unit overall. |
| 380 | * FreudianExcuse: His quest to destroy the planet is motivated out of a desire for eternal rest, as he has long been tired of his endless cycle of “death” and rebirth. |
| 381 | * GracefulLoser: After his master's destruction, he calmly leaves the scene, although admitting he has more plans in store. |
| 382 | * TheHeavy: Anghraf is imprisoned for much of the story up until the FinalBoss fight. Kayron is the one driving the plot to an even greater degree than Vildred. He is also the most visible antagonist in ''Visitors From Another World'', plotting to assist Zeno in wiping out the planet once and for all, with the latter not appearing in person until the end. |
| 383 | * HiddenDepths: Unlike the other two Acolytes, he seems to find immortality distasteful and wants the world destroyed and himself with it. |
| 384 | * KarmaHoudini: He gets away with every single one of his actions by the time the first story is over. |
| 385 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He gets his backside handed to him more than once in ''Visitors From Another World'', although he still successfully manages to escape once again by the end. |
| 386 | * LastChanceHitPoint: His "Immortal Will" passive allows him to withstand lethal damage thanks to his Immortality buff. |
| 387 | * TheLeader: |
| 388 | ** In a scene where all three Acolytes are causing destruction, he tells the other two to focus, implying he's usually the one with the plan. In addition, he is the most consistently appearing Acolyte and is in charge of Anghraf's resurrection inside of Mercedes. |
| 389 | ** Particularly, he's the leader of an undead army known as the "Dust Walkers". |
| 390 | * TheManBehindTheMan: He is indirectly behind the uprisings of the other Acolytes as well as Vildred’s FaceHeelTurn. He also states that he was using Zeno the entire time rather than the other way around, though he was already defeated before Zeno was. |
| 391 | * OnlySaneMan: He considers himself this amongst the three Acolytes. |
| 392 | * PutOnABus: He and the other Acolytes haven't appeared in the main story since the Archdemon's destruction. |
| 393 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Much like the other two Acolytes, though he would rather find a way to stop being reborn forever. |
| 394 | * SoftSpokenSadist: He usually doesn't emote much, but he's a very cruel individual who's responsible for corrupting many who were at a crossroads of redemption, and he enjoys causing pain on the battlefield. |
| 395 | * SphereOfDestruction: His third skill, "Apocalypse", conjures an expanding dark orb of energy at his target's location. |
| 396 | * SurroundedByIdiots: How he feels at times when he’s working alongside Tenebria and Nilgal. |
| 397 | * TakingYouWithMe: Being a DeathSeeker, his plans for Orbis involve allowing Anghraf to destroy it, which would permanently eliminate himself, his fellow Acolytes, and his enemies. |
| 398 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: He considers Nilgal to be someone who takes everything too lightly and a "pin" to talk with, and he sees Tenebria as impossible to rely on due to her impulsive and unpredictable character (not to mention annoying), though he still counts on her more than Nilgal. |
| 399 | * ThisCannotBe: When the combined efforts of the heroes still manage to overpower him even though he’s gained a power boost thanks to Zeno. |
| 400 | * TheUnfought: He’s never actually been fought in the main story mode so far, even though he’s seemingly the most powerful Acolyte. |
| 401 | ** He's later battled in side stories such as ''Visitors from Another World'', ''Eulogy for a Saint'', and ''One Blade One Truth'', however they are not part of the main story. |
| 402 | * VillainExitStageLeft: Once Anghraf in Mercedes's body is destroyed, Kayron calmly admits that he's got other designs in store for Orbis and leaves without a fuss. |
| 403 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The poor guy just wants to rest and leave the mortal coil behind. The problem is that he’s far from mortal. |
| 404 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: He wants Orbis destroyed so that he may finally rest. |

| 417 | |
| 418 | The Acolyte who has illusory powers and known as the Phantom Queen. |
| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | * AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Unlike her first unstable appearance in Chapter 2 when she was just freshly-summoned, Tenebria acquired a more stable form in Orbis when she returned in Chapter 6. This is the appearance that she's used to now, including events like "Chaotic Moon Festival". It may be a subversion, however, as according to ''The Origin of the Nightmare'', her stable form was actually her original form when she was fully human. |
| 421 | * AmbiguousSituation: She takes particular pleasure in seeing "cool and collected" people suffer, however to what degree these people are terrible remains to be seen. She may simply enjoy watching them get knocked off their high horse, or she may find some to be even worse and more disgusting in terms of morality than herself (she used to refer to them as cold-blooded), hence where her enjoyment comes from. Note that when she says this around the campfire, many heroic characters may react positively to this statement. |
| 422 | ** The Never-before-Seen Color that kickstarts her down the path to darkness may or may not be another version of Tenebria herself, given that she is never seen yet has Tenebria's voice. |
| 423 | ** It’s also unclear whether or not she was genuinely unconsciously traveling through time using the orb, or if she was simply seeing into the future and what she would be doing without realizing it. |
| 424 | * ArcVillain: For ''Nixied's Sanctum'', technically for ''Reingar's Chaotic Moon Festival'' (however she ends up being pacified by Adlay in the latter and doesn't kill a single person), and for ''The Origin of the Nightmare''. |
| 425 | * AreaOfEffect: Two of her abilities are [=AoE=] attacks. |
| 426 | * BackFromTheDead: She does this after her defeat in Chapter 6 to battle the players in the Arena as well as during the Moon Festival. |
| 427 | * BeautyIsBad: Drop-dead gorgeous in either one of her forms and loves every second of being wicked. |
| 428 | * TheBusCameBack: She returns for the Moon Festival. |
| 429 | * BigNo: When she was but a human daughter of a Count and Countess, she screamed in misery after the entity known only as the "Never-before-Seen Color" informed her that her illusions had killed everyone in her mansion, family included, and that it was not a dream of hers. |
| 430 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: She pretends to be a mysterious and friendly girl in order to trick Crozet into following her into her dream world trap. |
| 431 | * BlackMage: She's a mage who specializes mostly in debuffs and offensive spells. Tenebria can soften the enemies with her ultimate skill, or send an enemy to sleep and make them vulnerable to critical attacks with her basic skill. Even if her second skill is a straightforward Combat Readiness and Speed reduction for the enemy party, it's great for keeping them at bay and for her own team to have more turns than usual. She can also inflict the Sleep status ailment in her basic attack, which guarantees a critical hit for 1 turn. |
| 432 | * BloodbathVillainOrigin: One caused ''entirely by accident.'' |
| 433 | * BoobsAndButtPose: Her regular version's pose. |
| 434 | * BraidsOfAction: Has two long braided hair on both sides in the back of her head. |
| 435 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: She took away Ravi's memories of what Tenebria did to her family and village. As it turns out, Tenebria herself has had this happen to ''her'' before, with the entity who transformed her stating that she would forget everything that happened before becoming an Acolyte. |
| 436 | * BreakoutVillain: |
| 437 | ** She goes from having less focus than [[TheHeavy Kayron]] to having more than one side story and is easily one of the most popular characters in the entire game. |
| 438 | ** A fanart of Tenebria from the 2020 Website/{{Pixiv}} contest won the [[https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/5728999 new costume category]]. It's themed around ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' and released as an alternate character, "Fairy Tale Tenebria", by the end of the year. |
| 439 | * CharacterDevelopment: She goes through a surprisingly positive development during the "Chaotic Moon Festival". |
| 440 | * ClimaxBoss: Serves as this in ''Visitors From Another World'' along with Kayron, shortly before the Final Boss, Zeno. |
| 441 | * TheCorrupter: She had Ravi Visan ReforgedIntoAMinion after killing off her family, even though Ravi had initially sworn to destroy her in revenge no matter what. |
| 442 | ** Turns out, long ago she had this done to ''herself'' by an unknown entity that had her voice. |
| 443 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her ultimate skill, "Nightmare", can also decrease the Defense of all enemies. |
| 444 | * DarkActionGirl: Don't let her looks fool you, Tenebria is a powerful Acolyte known for her illusion-based magic. |
| 445 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Doesn't get much darker than ''accidentally causing your entire village to kill one another in your own basement and leave you all alone'', even if she was already an insensitive prankster with sociopathic tendencies beforehand. |
| 446 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Her time at the Moon Festival with Adlay serves as this for both of them. She also gains another one in ''The Origin of the Nightmare''. |
| 447 | * DealWithTheDevil: As a human, she made one with the "Never-before-Seen Color" from the orb in order to give up her humanity and her memories in order to forget her atrocities and her heart-shattering pain at having caused them. |
| 448 | * DeathFromAbove: She causes "Moon of Nightmare", a huge EnergyBall, to fall down her opponents when using her third skill. |
| 449 | * DemonOfHumanOrigin: Not necessarily a demon, per se, but rather a Specter and an Acolyte who sold her soul and gave away her memories and humanity in order to forget all about a horrendous mistake she made and the soul-crushing agony it caused her, which had been driving her completely insane. |
| 450 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even when she was human, she had a knack for dangerous pranks and at one point was trying to find a way to make one of her servants writhe in pain out of sheer morbid curiosity. She was, however, absolutely '''horrified''' [[BrainwashedAndCrazy at what her illusions ended up doing to everyone in her village,]] causing her to completely break down and scream at how much pain her own actions had put her in. |
| 451 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 452 | ** She loves torturing people and bringing their nightmares to life, but she eventually turns on Kayron because his plans involve wiping out the planet. Played with in that she's more concerned for her own life than anything else, but it doesn't change the fact that by betraying him she is protecting Orbis in a way. |
| 453 | ** Played straight in "Reingar's Chaotic Moon Festival". After being reached out to by a stranger (Adlay) and being shown kindness and learning to have fun (read: '''without''' committing murder), she admits to Adlay that she usually never makes one's dreams come true - usually just their nightmares. However, she offers him a real happy dream and also decides not to harm anyone at the festival, leaving without causing any destruction. |
| 454 | * FinalBoss: Yuna and Ras duel against her at the end of ''Reingar's Chaotic Full Moon Festival''. |
| 455 | * ForTheEvulz: She enjoys causing chaos and murder for the most part. However spending time with Adlay makes her open her mind to kindness and rethink her plans for the scenario she's in for the first time in her existence. |
| 456 | * FreudianExcuse: She was once an incredibly cute and intelligent ''human'' girl who was unable to stand the repetitiveness of her daily life, feeling as though it was an invisible prison, and her charm that made everyone fall in love with her was both her blessing and her curse. She was daughter to a Count and Countess who adored her to no end and argued over how to raise her properly, wondering where they went wrong with her because she grew up constantly playing cleverly cruel and dangerous magic pranks on her servants, even causing one of her teachers to beat her with a stick. She was genuinely apologetic towards her mother after she accidentally got burned, stating to herself that she wanted to make one of her servants writhe, displaying a sense of self-awareness of how horrible she was, yet always giving in to morbid curiosity. She was genuinely capable of reason and wisdom, however her reason and wisdom always clashed with her uncontrollable curiosity and her desire to be amused. She was always given what she wanted, and had no patience as a result. The orb that always displayed new colors which she obtained from a peddler was supposedly from another world, and each time it showed her a new color, it filled her mind with dreams and illusions of another world, a ''future'' where she had the power to change destinies and lock people into illusions, and would eventually corrupt a girl named Ravi, keep a lady named Sigret from reuniting with her loved one, and make fun of a Knight Commander named Crozet, under the mindset that they were all simply dreams and illusions and therefore none of her cruel actions mattered. An unseen entity spoke to her from the realm of the orb, offering to put her to sleep and give her soul away in exchange for the power to give everyone wonderful dreams and illusions without consequence, at least until she woke up. Instead, she accidentally caused everyone in her village to see one another as enemies and slaughter each other, all save for herself, leaving her completely alone with the guilt and the horrific realization that it was no dream. To erase her agony, she bargained with the voice to remove her memories and her humanity entirely, causing her to become a Specter with all her worst traits amplified. |
| 457 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The lore focuses on her mastery over illusions and tricking the minds of others. In-game, her basic attack can make the target sleep. |
| 458 | * GracefulLoser: Makes sense considering death is likely never to be permanent for an Acolyte. |
| 459 | * GratuitousLatin: Her name is derived from "tenebra", the Latin word for "darkness". |
| 460 | * HiddenDepths: She was originally planning on destroying Reingar City and killing for fun until a human named Adlay reached out to her (not knowing her true identity) and took her on a tour of the festival. At the end of the night, after seeing the fireworks with Adlay, she admitted that she loved it and had fun, and that perhaps she underestimated humanity and her own similarities with them. |
| 461 | * HotWitch: Oh, most definitely. See her image. |
| 462 | * HumanityIsInfectious: A minor example: during Reingar's Summer Festival, Adlay accidentally summons her, and obliviously takes her for a tour of the festivities. She ends up enjoying them enough to not destroy the city, and takes a shine to Adlay as well. |
| 463 | * {{Jerkass}}: Even as a human, she was needlessly sadistic, played dangerous pranks on her servants, and noted that she wanted to give one a burn just to see her writhe in pain, although she also seemed genuinely ashamed and fully aware that it was a horrible and shameful desire to feel, despite her morbid curiosity always clashing against her sense of morality. Becoming an Acolyte made all her standards disappear. Then she met [[MoralityPet Adlay.]] |
| 464 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: In Chapter 6, her illusions or tricks caused the guards to attack Ras, Arky and Mercedes. |
| 465 | * MaleGaze: Her third skill's cut-in animation is just angled down enough to give a glimpse of her bare abdomen. |
| 466 | * MasterOfIllusion: Illusion is her specialty, and she's implied to have various ways in doing it. For example, she infiltrated the Sanctum in the South Wetheric Moor by tricking Crozet and the guards. She also tricked Lorina into seeing the heroes as enemies. |
| 467 | * MoralityPet: It's possible that Adlay became one to her, although she admitted that for his sake he should never encounter her again. |
| 468 | * MsFanservice: She's quite the sexy sorceress, as demonstrated by her picture. |
| 469 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Before becoming Tenebria, the Count's Daughter accidentally caused her entire village to kill each other due to her falling too deep into the world of dreams and illusory magic and using it on them, believing that it would help them see and understand her point of view and why she loved experimenting with such a dangerous art. Once she saw everyone's bodies in her basement, she screamed and screamed for the first time since her birth, feeling as though she was being ripped to shreds by the weight of her actions, especially after realizing that it was no dream. This led her to give away her soul and her humanity in order to erase her memories and therefore the feelings that would cause her such agony. |
| 470 | * NecessaryDrawback: Her basic skill can also inflict the Sleep status ailment on the target, which turns the next attack against it into a critical hit. This won't trigger Dual Attacks from other allies, otherwise, that would be a very devastating combo casued by a spammable basic skill. |
| 471 | * NotQuiteDead: She berates the heroes for thinking her permanently dead and returns to fight them in arena battles as well as the "Chaotic Moon Festival" story. |
| 472 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Contrary to her prior belief, she ends up enjoying the festival, playing the arcade games (even though she's terrible at them) and even being stunned by the fireworks display. She then admits that it was fun for her and she and Adlay aren't as different as she thought. |
| 473 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: She comes to realize that she has more similarities with humanity than she realized at first when Adlay shows her the view of the fireworks and she ends up loving it. This may be an indication that she is regaining her own lost human emotions. |
| 474 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 475 | ** In ''Visitors From Another World'', she tells Ravi that Sol is an extremely powerful fighter, bluntly states without any smiling or sugarcoating that fighting him may be fatal, and that this may be the final instruction she ever gives to Ravi, indicating that she doesn't expect Ravi to make it out alive. Sure enough, Ravi is last seen heavily burned and losing consciousness on the ground after battling Sol and Arkasus together, yet her death is still unconfirmed. |
| 476 | ** For most of the festival, she just wanted to play "games" by killing others but eventually warms up to the idea of ''not'' doing that and simply enjoying what activities are set out for her (except when she does poorly in them). When at first she considers pushing Adlay off the top of a tower for her personal satisfaction, Adlay stops her by showing her what he brought her up there for to begin with - fireworks. She is absolutely stunned, saying she had no idea such a creation existed in the human world, and admits that she loves it. She ends up offering Adlay a positive dream and willingly leaves without harming anyone for the first time in her life (except her usual boss battle with the heroes beforehand). |
| 477 | * PetTheDog: After being shown kindness from Adlay, who shows her around and lets her enjoy the festivities (especially the fireworks), she genuinely takes a liking to him, offers him an actual ''good'' dream, warns him that he shouldn't come near her anymore because of what kind of entity she is and tells Ras, Yuna and the other heroes that she will not be destroying the city or ruining any lives today because she is in too good of a mood, leaving without a fuss (after a battle with them, of course). |
| 478 | * RecurringBoss: She is fought twice throughout the main story and multiple times throughout side stories such as the Moon Festival and the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' crossover. |
| 479 | * RedBaron: "The Phantom Queen" |
| 480 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Much like the other two Acolytes. |
| 481 | * {{Sadist}}: Tenebria may look playful, but she is monstrously cruel and can bewilder her targets with terrifying illusions. She's waiting for the day when she can see Ras's face contorted in agony. |
| 482 | * ShipTease: The "Reignar's Chaotic Full Moon Festival" event gives a ship tease to out of all people, Adlay and Tenebria! It is also a rare sign that, through her experiences with him, she shows any sympathetic and/or redeeming qualities. |
| 483 | * SmugSuper: She definitely enjoys flaunting her power and tormenting her opponents with her nightmares. |
| 484 | * SphereOfDestruction: In her third skill, she drops the spherical "Moon of Nightmare" into her enemies. |
| 485 | * StartOfDarkness: ''The Origin of the Nightmare'' details her swift descent into losing her humanity. Even if she wasn't the nicest person beforehand, she certainly wouldn't have grown up to be nearly as evil and cruel as she actually did if it weren't for the voice within the orb (which may or may not be another version of her). |
| 486 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: She considers Nilgal an incompetent idiot and she works with Kayron simply to annoy him, even preferring when things don't go his way. |
| 487 | * TookALevelInKindness: She surprisingly ends up leaving Reingar alone and learning that killing is not the only way for her to have fun - in fact, she can enjoy life without causing even a little misery for others, thanks to Adlay teaching her about the festival and the fireworks tradition. |
| 488 | * TragicVillain: When she was a young Count's Daughter, she lost her way and fell further and further into corruption by means of her own morbid curiosity and ''especially'' the influence of the voice within the orb that gave her the power of illusions and dreams. She certainly didn't intend to slaughter everyone in her village, that's for sure. It drove her beyond the point of despair, realizing that it was not a dream of hers, and she gave away her soul and humanity to stop herself from being torn apart by her anguish. |
| 489 | * {{Troll}}: Her attitude towards Kayron. Seems like she gained this behavioral trait from back when she was a human. |
| 490 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Subverted for the most part, as she was careless and cruel towards her servants, wanting to see them writhe as a result of her magic pranks and experiments, but she ''never'' intended for her newfound powers of illusion to do [[BrainwashedAndCrazy what it ended up doing to them.]] |
| 491 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: A part of her illusory abilities involves altering her appearance, sometimes mimicking others. |
| 492 | * WasOnceHuman: She was once the young daughter of a Count and Countess from long before the Archdemon War ever began, but was tempted by the power of dreams, nightmares, and illusions. Under the influence of a mysterious entity with a voice like her own, believing that she could be as cruel as she wanted without truly harming anyone real, her illusions caused everyone in her village to murder each other. She begged the entity to take away the excruciating sensation that she was feeling in her heart, and the entity took her soul and humanity away. |
| 493 | * {{Womanchild}}: Best demonstrated by her defeat in ''Visitors From Another World'', where she swears to return "with an even cooler nightmare", as well as her humorously raging over the festival games during ''Reingar's Chaotic Moon Festival'', not to mention her [[CharacterDevelopment initially]] wanting to push Adlay off a tower simply because she's '''bored.''' |
| 494 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: According to the Suspicious Woman (who turns out to be the spirit / supernatural form of the Countess), Tenebria is but a corrupted child who will one day free herself from the horrible curse that she placed on herself, which will allow her mother to return her humanity to her. |

| 525 | A timid singer from parts unknown that has a secret identity as a popular idol. |
| 526 | ---- |
| 527 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She's the starring character in the "Shining Star!" side story event. |
| 528 | * AmnesiacHero: She once lost her memory, but an individual named Katis took care of her. |
| 529 | * AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Thanks to the Blooming Pendant, Tamarinne can transform into an energetic and lively idol. In the first Summer event, it got stolen and the other Heroes had to help her in retrieving it. |
| 530 | * ApologizesALot: Only in the Japanese voice audio. When Tamarinne gets hit, she simply lets out pained groans or grunts in the English audio, but the Japanese audio makes her cry out "Gomenasai"[[labelnote:Translation]]"I'm sorry!"[[/labelnote]] |
| 531 | * BreakoutCharacter: She appeared in several Side Stories already, and the [[EvolvingTitleScreen unique title screen]] for the "Re:Birth" campaign features her up-front. |
| 532 | * ChildhoodFriends: Yuna and Tamarinne share this dynamic, as both came from the same world but are summoned into Orbis. |
| 533 | * CombinationAttack: In Idol form, her basic skill guarantees a Dual Attack follow-up from the ally with the highest attack. |
| 534 | * CooldownManipulation: Each use of her first and second skill would reduce the cooldown of her third skill by 1. |
| 535 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Her main gimmick and strongest buffs/mechanics are tied to her [[SuperMode Idol form]], which unfortunately, has a long starting cooldown. Iseria can help solve this by [[CooldownManipulation resetting Tamarinne's cooldowns]] to make her enter Idol form as early as Turn 1. But take Iseria out of the equation, and Tamarinne will have to wait for a long while before she can enter Idol form on her own. This reliance on another teammate limits her viability in PVP modes. |
| 536 | * DubNameChange: She's called "Ruri" in the Japanese server. |
| 537 | * ExtraTurn: After her skill Awakening, her transformation into an Idol will also grant her with an extra turn. |
| 538 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Wears a black sleeve only on her left arm. |
| 539 | * FreezeFrameBonus: In her normal form, her basic attack creates a heart-shaped pink mist to attack her target, but the shape is only clearly visible for a few frames before it fades. |
| 540 | * FragileSpeedster: By a Soul Weaver's base stat standards, Tamarinne has low Speed, which is somehow compensated by her ability to push Combat Readiness. Compared to fellow Fire Soul Weaver Achates, Tamarinne has more Speed but her HP is so low that she would benefit more from flat HP boosts than percentage-based HP boosts. |
| 541 | * HeroicSecondWind: Her Idol transformation ability, "Shining Star★", [[AntiDebuff dispels all debuffs]] on her team and fully restores Tamarinne's HP. |
| 542 | * LuckyCharmsTitle: Her third skill is named "Shining Star★". |
| 543 | * MagicIdolSinger: She uses a {{Magitek}} device designed by Carrot to transform herself from ShrinkingViolet healer to a confident pop singer, complete with a {{transformation sequence}} that changes her clothes and her hair color. Her gameplay is designed around using this transformation as a SuperMode. |
| 544 | * MagicMusic: All of her abilities work through songs. Lore-wise, it is stated that she can harness magic with her voice. |
| 545 | * NiceGirl: She's a gentle and shy sweetheart in her normal form. When she goes into Idol form, she's still nice, but she's much more confident. |
| 546 | * PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair turns brown in her Idol form. |
| 547 | * ShipTease: She and Ains seem to take an interest in each other. |
| 548 | * ShrinkingViolet: If she's not on stage, she's incredibly shy and afraid in battle. |
| 549 | * StatusBuffDispel: In her idol form, her basic attack dispels all buffs from the enemy party. |
| 550 | * SuperMode: Transforming into her idol mode powers up her healing and offensive skills. |
| 551 | * SupportPartyMember: Her [[SuperMode Idol form]] allows her to grant additional buffs to the party aside from healing them. In this form, her basic attack can also [[StatusBuffDispel dispel the buffs of enemies]], while her second skill also boosts the party's Attack and Combat Readiness. |
| 552 | * TransformationSequence: Using her third skill, her transition into her idol self is depicted like a magical-girl transformation using the Blooming Pendant. |
| 553 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: Just like Yuna, she's also summoned into Orbis, and the world she's from is implied to be 21st Century modern Earth. |
| 554 | * TrueCompanions: Yuna was her confidant who helped her become a singer, and Carrot helped realize her potential in magic. Meanwhile, Auxiliary Lots was there through her darkest days. |
| 555 | * WhiteMage: In her regular form, her first two skills heal her allies. Her Idol form retains these benefits. |

| 563 | -->'''Rarity''': 5★ |
| 564 | -->'''Element''': Ice |
| 565 | -->'''Class''': Mage |
| 566 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Aquarius |
| 567 | |
| 568 | The Shaman of Rekos who travels the universe to seek revenge on Straze. |
| 569 | ---- |
| 570 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She's the starring character in the "The Chosen Shaman" side story event. |
| 571 | * AnimalMotifs: A butterfly motif appears whenever she uses "Rekos's Blessing". It's also present on the skill's icon. |
| 572 | * ArchEnemy: She considers Straze this, as he destroyed Rekos (both Luluca's home-world and the deity) and easily beat her down when she tried to stop him. |
| 573 | * BadassAdorable: Don't let her beautiful looks and cute expressions fool you, Luluca has the powers to back up her title as a shaman. |
| 574 | * BarrierWarrior: Her second skill deploys shields for, and increases the defense of the entire party |
| 575 | * CheerfulChild: She certainly didn't start off this way, but she develops into this very quickly. |
| 576 | * TheChosenOne: Shaman of the Rekos, is beloved by the spirits and the one who will save them. |
| 577 | * CooldownManipulation: The Soul Burn effect of her second skill reduces the cooldowns of her other skills by 2. |
| 578 | * CurbStompBattle: She was no match for Straze in their first bout. |
| 579 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Both of her offensive skills decrease the defense of her targets. |
| 580 | * DifficultButAwesome: Luluca is described as a "stat-hungry" unit or someone who needs decently-rolled, spread-out stats on her equipment. She needs some Attack to make her DPS output and shields strong, some Effectiveness to increase the chances of her DamageIncreasingDebuff, and some Speed to keep her turns and shields going, and to easily ramp up the [[GatheringSteam stacking attack]] provided by her ultimate skill. |
| 581 | * DimensionalTraveler: She travels across the universe, following where Straze would be in, attempting to seek revenge on him and foil his plans. The Journal even describes Luluca as an "Alien girl". |
| 582 | * FashionableAsymmetry: She wears an arm sleeve, but only on one side. |
| 583 | * GatheringSteam: The Awakened upgrade of her third skill, "Wave of Vengeance", makes her stronger the more it is cast on the same stage, stacking up to 3 times. |
| 584 | * TheHero: She and Ras share this status in Episode 2, working together to end the plans of Straze and the one behind him, Fastus. They end up fighting both villains together alongside Mercedes, Arkasus, Pavel and Violet. |
| 585 | * HumanAliens: Her only unusual trait is her eyes. |
| 586 | * ItsPersonal: Ever since Straze destroyed her home-world (and the deity it was named after) and murdered her friends in front of her, she seeks to hunt him down and obliterate him herself. |
| 587 | * MakingASplash: Her third skill allows her to essentially create a waterfall beam that relentlessly pounds the opposing side. |
| 588 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Luluca's dress doesn't cover the entirety of her upper chest area, with a slit that reaches down to her midriff. |
| 589 | * PowerFloats: She prefers to levitate and glide above the ground instead of run. |
| 590 | * TheProtagonist: One could argue that ''Godkiller'' is even more about her than it is about Ras, as the story begins with Straze destroying her world and she has known him longer than the other heroes and has by far the most personal reasons for wanting him gone. |
| 591 | * ProtagonistTitle: Once she lands the final blow on Straze, he congratulates her and says that she is now a new Godkiller. |
| 592 | * {{Revenge}}: She desires to bring down Straze once and for all to avenge Rekos and all who Straze slaughtered. |
| 593 | * TheRival: She's determined to have her {{revenge}} on Straze. |
| 594 | * SavingTheWorld: Her motivations are to stop Straze and to restore her homeworld. |
| 595 | * ShipTease: Has this with Violet, ''big-time.'' ''Godkiller'' ends with her dragging him off to Rekos to live with her. |
| 596 | * SituationalDamageAttack: Her first skill, "Wild Wave", increases its damage the lower her target's current HP becomes. |
| 597 | * SupportPartyMember: Her second skill grants a Barrier and a defensive buff to the entire party. |
| 598 | * TrueCompanions: Violet is the first friend whom Luluca met in Orbis. Although she's quite annoyed at his clothing, personality and constant flirting, in the end, they became loyal companions and had a lot of romantic ShipTease moments. |
| 599 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She is quickly developing this with Violet, bickering nonstop (as much as Ras does with Arkasus) but fiercely defending one another, to the point of major ShipTease. |
| 600 | * WakingUpElsewhere: After a period of unconsciousness from being forcibly transported away from Straze and the destruction of Rekos, Luluca wakes up to find herself on Orbis, eventually attacking Violet out of fear he is an enemy. |

| 613 | |
| 614 | An emperor from another galaxy who was defeated by Notos. |
| 615 | ---- |
| 616 | * ArcVillain: He is the main antagonist in the crossover event with ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', ''Visitors From Another World''. It is possible that he will also serve as this for the Arena Story as he appeared in a story cutscene of it. |
| 617 | * AwesomeButImpractical: With his passive second skill, Zeno becomes tougher and his ultimate skill hits harder [[GatheringSteam whenever the enemy uses a non-attack skill]]. Zeno does work wonders against Heroes who extremely rely on just buffing or healing their teams a lot, and his passive appears to be made just to counter these team compositions. However, this skill becomes useless if he fights against enemies that only have attacking skills. |
| 618 | * AxCrazy: Very much so. |
| 619 | * ButtMonkey: Zeno was defeated in a tournament held by Notos, and got curb-stomped by him later on. |
| 620 | * CurbStompBattle: He effortlessly defeats Ras in one hit, only for Notos to tear him apart in mere seconds soon after. |
| 621 | * TheEmperor: Of a distant galaxy. |
| 622 | * EvilOverlord: Zeno is a maniacal emperor. |
| 623 | * FinalBoss: Of ''Visitors From Another World''. |
| 624 | * GatheringSteam: His passive skill, "Star Armor", increases his defense and the damage of Ancient Beast whenever the enemy uses a non-attack skill. This can stack up to 10 times. |
| 625 | * LaughingMad: He giggles before unleashing some of his attacks. |
| 626 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: As of 2020, he can't be obtained from the gacha nor is given via Connections. Instead, he can be bought from the Hall of Trials shop. |
| 627 | * NotQuiteDead: Ventus telling Ras that they must find a way to stop Zeno (after Notos has already torn him to shreds) means that the latter can regenerate after such injuries as having his head exploded. |
| 628 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Bonding his soul with a star allows him to regenerate from any injury, even being ripped apart by the God of Battle. |
| 629 | * SituationalDamageAttack: His "Black Thorn" skill increases its damage in proportion to Zeno's max health stat. |
| 630 | * SummonMagic: Zeno's ultimate ability involves summoning an Ancient Beast to attack all enemies. |
| 631 | * TemporaryOnlineContent: He used to be a limited Hero tied to specific events and can't be pulled from the Covenant Summon. An update on 2020 later subverts this by making Zeno an exchangeable reward from the Hall of Trials mode. |
| 632 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: With the mechanics of his passive skill, "Star's Armor", Zeno is a strong counter to use against enemy team compositions and Heroes who just love to apply buffs to themselves. |
| 633 | * TheWorfEffect: He defeats Ras in a single effortless hit. Notos bursts his head open just seconds later. |

| 646 | |
| 647 | Once a member of a tailor family on Rekos, Lilibet was raised by mercenaries when she lost her parents in a civil war. And then she met Straze. |
| 648 | ---- |
| 649 | * CloudCuckoolander: She has a playful note in her Connection info with Straze, wanting him to dress in a more colorful clothing made by her. |
| 650 | * CoDragons: She and Kawerik serve as this to Straze the Black Knight. |
| 651 | * CuteAndPsycho: She's an adorable young lady who enjoys slicing people up with her scissors. |
| 652 | * DeaderThanDead: She gives the Extinction debuff to the enemy when killed via her "Soul Cutter" skill which prevents them from reviving. |
| 653 | * FriendToAllChildren: Given that she had to survive from a young age, she has a soft spot for kids, and refuses to let any harm befall them. |
| 654 | * HeelFaceTurn: She ends up bailing on Straze's campaign after she meets the heroes and a few others who convince her that she's not on the right path. |
| 655 | * ICallItVera: Her scissors are named Cho and Mal. |
| 656 | * NoSell: Her third skill, "Soul Cutter" also grants Lilibet the Skill Nullifier buff, which negates the damage received from the opponent's next skill attack. |
| 657 | * PetTheDog: |
| 658 | ** She befriends Amanda, seeing herself in her, and ensures that her minions do not harm her. |
| 659 | ** She also lets Luluca pass after their final confrontation and decides she's leaving. |
| 660 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She decides she no longer wants any part in the war and leaves after she lets Luluca go. |
| 661 | * ShearMenace: Uses oversized scissors as her weapon. |
| 662 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: She's so suspicious of Kawerik despite being on the same side under the Black Knight. Given that he's a DragonWithAnAgenda, she's not wrong. |
| 663 | * SituationalDamageAttack: The awakened version of her "Snip-Snip" skill deals additional damage if the target isn't buffed. |
| 664 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: She's the first Hero with the niche Extinction debuff which prevents enemies from reviving themselves, so at the time of her release, Lilibet was the go-to counter for Arbiter Vildred until more Heroes were rebalanced later to deal with the AutoRevive mechanic. |
| 665 | * TragicVillain: Abducted from her home as a little girl, then raised under unlivable conditions and forced to grow up as a mercenary of sorts, bred to kill in order to survive. |
| 666 | * UndyingLoyalty: At least initially, she has this to Straze. Meeting people like Ras, Luluca, and Amanda make her reconsider. |

| 671 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/epic_seven_roana_5.png]] |
| 672 | -->'''Voiced by''': Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English), Creator/AkariKitou (Japanese) |
| 673 | -->'''Rarity''': 5★ |
| 674 | -->'''Element''': Earth |
| 675 | -->'''Class''': Soul Weaver |
| 676 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Pisces |
| 677 | |
| 678 | A shaman who can see others' true natures. |
| 679 | ---- |
| 680 | * AutoRevive: Her "Noble Rekos" skill grants a 2-turn Revive buff to existing party members. Since Roana can only grant this buff, she can't actually revive allies who are already dead. |
| 681 | * BarrierWarrior: Her "Soul Purification" skill grants a barrier to the ally with the lowest health. When Soul Burned, she gives barriers to all allies instead. |
| 682 | * DullEyesOfUnhappiness: She has rather strange-colored eyes that lack any shine. Her Specialty trait, "Vigilant Eye", even describes them as "cloudy". |
| 683 | * FashionableAsymmetry: One of her stockings is light, the other is dark. |
| 684 | * HolyHalo: She has a wide angel ring above her head. For some reason, it has spikes as well. |
| 685 | * ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: This is what happened between Roana and Straze, as written in the former's Journal entry: |
| 686 | -->She visited Straze to confess her feelings for him, but in a tragic twist of fate, she was killed at his hand. |
| 687 | %%* MsFanservice: |
| 688 | * NotQuiteDead: She believes that she will disappear from existence when Straze is gone, but she ends up being proven wrong when she arrives in another world with a much younger reincarnation of him who has lost his memories. |
| 689 | * RaiseHimRightThisTime: She promises to a younger amnesiac Straze that she will be there for him. |
| 690 | * SupportPartyMember: Roana can grant barriers, heal allies and boost the Combat Readiness of the entire party whenever they are attacked by certain move types. But her other main gimmick comes from her third skill, "Noble Rekos", that heals allies and grants the entire party with an AutoRevive buff. |
| 691 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Her "Vigilant Eye" passive makes Roana automatically heal her teammates and boost the entire team's Combat Readiness whenever an ally is attacked by the enemy's extra attack, {{counter attack}} or [[CombinationAttack Dual Attack]]. This makes her a great counter to CounterAttack-reliant Heroes like Seaside Bellona. |
| 692 | * TrueSight: With the Vigilant Eye, she is able to perceive the true nature of other beings. |

| 703 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Aquarius |
| 704 | |
| 705 | The Archdemon's Shadow is described as the sentient manifestation of chaos mixed with the power and souls of many beings, taking the form of Mercedes when she was fused together with the Archdemon and was therefore a part of the Shadow. This entity now longs for a new vessel. |
| 706 | |
| 707 | ---- |
| 708 | * BodySnatcher: Desires to find a vessel that is able to contain the Shadow's power. |
| 709 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Especially when compared with the adorable voice of the real Mercedes. |
| 710 | * HolyHalo: Due to being identical to Mercedes' FusionDance with Anghraf. |
| 711 | * HornedHumanoid: Has some of the coolest pair of horns ever seen. |
| 712 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: Seems to be an entirely different entity created from the FusionDance of Anghraf and Mercedes being successfully separated. |
| 713 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: Created after Anghraf's soul was separated from Mercedes, though she is neither of them. |
| 714 | * MsFanservice: Dresses in a much skimpier fashion than the original Meru. |
| 715 | * NoBiologicalSex: Possibly, seeing as how background information constantly refers to the Shadow as "it". |
| 716 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Just like when she and Mercedes were one. |
| 717 | * WalkingSpoiler: The fact that she becomes a separate being from both Anghraf and Mercedes makes her this. |

| 727 | -->'''Zodiac Sign''': Taurus |
| 728 | |
| 729 | The Black Knight, infamous for his ability to kill the gods themselves and destroy planets with a swing of his sword. |
| 730 | ---- |
| 731 | * AntagonistTitle: He is the so-called Godkiller in the similarly-subtitled Episode 2. |
| 732 | * ArchEnemy: Luluca most definitely sees him as this, given how he destroyed their shared home world. |
| 733 | * BadassCape: Just look at the inner layer of his black cape, it looks like an ethereal space of celestial bodies. |
| 734 | * BarrierWarrior: In the fight against Straze, he constantly applies an undispellable shield buff on himself for every turn. You have to take it down by force each time if you even want to damage him. |
| 735 | * {{BFS}}: He uses one known as Faustus's Eye. |
| 736 | * BigBad: For Episode 2, Godkiller, [[spoiler: though it's later shown that the being who speaks through his own ''sword'', Faustus, is the real mastermind]]. |
| 737 | * BlackKnight: It's all in his aesthetics and title. |
| 738 | * CurbStompBattle: Deals these out regularly to just about everyone he meets, even when he only uses a tiny fraction of his full power. |
| 739 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Faustus takes over his body in order to finish his advent.]] |
| 740 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Luluca and her allies finish him off at the end of Chapter 9, but this is not enough to stop Fastus, who completes his advent and uses Straze as a host body to take matters into his own hands.]] |
| 741 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Faustus, although very few on Orbis actually know of the latter's existence.]] |
| 742 | * DragonWithAnAgenda |
| 743 | * GatheringSteam: By applying stackable attack buffs on himself, Straze gets stronger as the fight against him drags on. |
| 744 | * TheHeavy |
| 745 | * HeroKiller: God killer, actually. [[spoiler:Though he almost killed Ras at one point.]] |
| 746 | * HiddenDepths: He seems heavily distressed about the gods being less immortal than he expected, as proven when talking to the spirit of Rekos. |
| 747 | * ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: This is what happened between Roana and Straze, as written in the former's Journal entry: |
| 748 | -->She visited Straze to confess her feelings for him, but in a tragic twist of fate, she was killed at his hand. |
| 749 | * {{Nerf}}: Straze's boss fight in Episode 2's Stage 9-10 (Altar of Unfamiliar Stars) is nerfed on a [[https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/5982429 September 2020 update]], reducing his stats. |
| 750 | * OneManArmy: He leads an army but he certainly does not need one for the most part. |
| 751 | * PhysicalGod: To an insane degree, thanks to the power granted to him by Fastus. |
| 752 | * PromotedToPlayable: He would eventually be implemented as a playable character under the "Star" geneology. |
| 753 | * RedBaron: |
| 754 | ** He is commonly referred to as the "Black Knight". |
| 755 | ** He's also called the "Godkiller" |
| 756 | * {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:He is reborn in another world at the end of ''Godkiller'' as a much younger man without a name or memories. Roana promises to look after him.]] |
| 757 | * StoryBreakerPower: Outwardly, he may not seem nearly as powerful or terrifying as Anghraf (with or without Mercedes) at first glance. However, given that he has slain actual gods before, he may in fact be ''even more powerful.'' |
| 758 | * VillainOverride: [[spoiler: After Luluca fatally injures Straze, Fastus morphs Straze's body into his own in order to finish his advent.]] |
| 759 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Destroys worlds on behalf of Fastus. |
| 760 | * WorfHadTheFlu: He left his battle against the entire Phantom CIC, Watcher Schuri and Assassin Cartuja because he had used up the vast majority of his power in order to travel across space. [[StoryBreakerPower He was still winning easily.]] |
