10	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toan7.png]]
11	When the Dark Genie attacked Norune Village, Toan was saved by the Fairy King. Toan was gifted with the Atlamilla, a magical stone allowing Toan to open the Atla containing pieces of various villages and their people and restore the world around him. His default weapon is a dagger, but he can use a wide variety of blades, from the lowly kitchen knife to the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Chronicle Sword]].
12	----

23	!!Xiao
24	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xiao21.jpg]]
25	Xiao was originally a cat found in the Divine Beast Cave. After a battle with Seda, Toan was gifted a special potion that allowed him to change an animal into a human. Xiao was given the potion and became a cat girl. Very devoted to Toan, she immediately joined him on his quest to rebuild the world and stop the Dark Genie. She uses a variety of slingshots, including one that talks. Her specialty is jumping over gaps in dungeons that feature pillars she can use as a sort of stepping stone.
26	----
27	* BadassAdorable
28	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Xiao (in her cat form) takes a shine to Toan because he protected her from a magical blast from Seda.

37	!!Goro
38	[[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goro11.jpg]]
39	Goro is the son of a powerful and respected hunter named Fudoh. Fudoh became ill and [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled sought out the Great White Snake to meet his end in battle]]. Goro never knew how his dad died, but the villagers knew. Since they never told him, he developed a hatred of them. When Toan retrieves Fudoh's Bone Pendant from the Great White Snake, Goro agrees to accompany him. His main weapons are hammers and axes. He can be used to hit large switches in dungeons.
40	----
41	%%* TheBigGuy
42	* JerkassWoobie: Goro lost his father and nobody would tell him why. As a result he became a rotten boy that everyone hated. [[spoiler: When he got the last message his father left for him, telling him everything that happened Goro turned his back on him and refused any possible closure.]]
43	* ParentalAbandonment: His mother is never seen and his father died fighting the Killer Snake.
44	* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Lineage Guy]]
45	* TheRival: He fancies himself one to Toan, proudly boasting when he joins the party that he'll do a better job than Toan.
46
47	!!Ruby
48	[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ruby_4.jpg]]
49	A genie unleashed by King, a slick man who lives in Queens. Wields magic rings, and can activate certain triggers.
50	----
51	* TheDreaded: King and his lackeys seem absolutely terrified of her, as does Jack. Considering her magical powers and her HairTriggerTemper, it's understandable.
52	* ElementalPowers: She uses ranged elemental attacks.
53	* GenieInABottle
54	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's shown terrorizing the King, his lackeys, and Jack, but she also quickly accepts TheCall and offers Toan her help with the Dark Genie.

57
58	!!Ungaga
59
60	A warrior from Muska Lacka. Wields spears, and can clear away smoke that blocks passages.

63	* BrokenAce
64	* FailureKnight
65	* HeroicBSOD: After Muska Racka is destroyed.
66	* MyGreatestFailure: He blames himself for the destruction of his village and the supposed "death" of his fiancee.
67	* NotAfraidToDie
68	* OneHeadTaller: Than most of the party with the possible exception of Ruby.
69	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy

71
72	!!Osmond
73
74	Chief inventor of the Moon People. Wields guns, and can fly across gaps that Xiao cannot jump across as they lack the pillars, as well as those she can. Reappears as an NPC in VideoGame/DarkChronicle
75	----
76	* BunnyEarsLawyer: [[UnusualEars With actual bunny ears, no less!]] A masterful inventor with some knowledge of magic who builds his own guns. Cheerfully announces that his plan for infiltrating the dark palace is to beat the Dark Genie into a pulp with a flying mech and nonchalantly bequeaths responsibility for the heavier lifting along the way to Toan.
77	* GadgeteerGenius

83	!!The Fairy King
84	[[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fairyking13.png]]
85	When the Dark Genie destroyed several villages in the opening of the game, the King of the Fairies saved the people and structures by sealing them inside Atla. He gave Toan the Atlamilla, a stone allowing him to open the Atla and rearrange the world around him. He also drops by to give instructions to Toan from time to time whenever a new game mechanic is introduced. He knows about Seda and the Dark Genie and considers the Dark Genie to be a grave threat to the world. However due to the Genie and Faeries having the same kind of magic, he and his kin are powerless to stop it.
86	----
87	* OurFairiesAreDifferent
88	* MagicStaff: The Fairy King wields a staff.
89	* TheChooserOfTheOne
90	* MrExposition: To an almost ridiculous degree. Thankfully he eventually just gives you an in-game manual to answer any questions you may have about game mechanics. That said it's possible (and likely) to get the book before he's done with all his exposition throughout the first dungeon, given he hands it to you the first time you leave it.
91
92	!!Dran
93	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dran.png]]
94	Dran, the Divine Beast, is the guardian of Norune village and ruler of the Divine Beast Cave. After Toan frees him from the Dark Genie's influence, he agrees to help Toan on his quest to stop the Dark Genie.
95	----
96	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Rescues the Sun Giant's pilots when it's destroyed by the Dark Genie.]]
97	* BossArenaUrgency: If you take too long to knock Dran out of the air, he'll start blasting holes in the floor.
98	* BrainwashedAndCrazy
99	* DamageSpongeBoss: He takes a LONG time to defeat with early game weapons.
100	* IntellectualAnimal: Dran is quite capable of talking with people and even teaches Toan a new attack if everyone in Norune is pleased with how you've rebuilt the village.
101	* MightyRoar: Only fitting as he's bigger than most houses in Norune Village.
102	* MixAndMatchCritters: Dran looks like a gigantic bear with goat horns, bird wings and a vaguely dog-like face with floppy ears.
103	* WakeUpCallBoss: Prior to fighting him, you've probably been brute forcing your way through the Divine Beast Cave with Toan and only using Xiao when the game forces you to. Dran will very quickly drill it into your head that this approach won't work with boss fights; he spends the majority of the fight flying around out of Toan's reach, meaning you ''have'' to use Xiao to shoot him down so Toan can wail on him.
104
105	!!Seda
106	[[quoteright:218:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seda.jpg]]
107	A mysterious man that keeps crossing paths with Toan. [[spoiler: Eventually revealed to be the king of the game's magic kingdom, which was fighting a war against a technologically-advanced kingdom -- and losing it. He accepts a dark power from a witch into himself to ensure his country's victory, but when his fiance, Sophia, is killed by an assassin meant for him, the resultant emotional breakdown gives the dark power form as the Dark Genie. During the course of the game, he is time travelling to Toan's era (his own future), to try and make things right.]]
108	----
109	* DealWithTheDevil: Mixing a witch's blood with his own won him the battle with the West.
110	* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Losing Sophia drove him over the edge and the Dark Genie was born from the resulting breakdown.]]
111	* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]
112	* TheGoodKing: [[spoiler: Everything he did, he did either for his kingdom, his beloved, or to repair the damage he had caused.]]
113	* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler: Not quite. In his case, it's more 'love causes you to give birth to evil', as detail in DespairEventHorizon.]]
114	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
115	* TheWatcher
116	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds
117	* YouAreNotReady: [[spoiler: Duels Toan to test whether or not he's ready -- lets him go if he loses, but won't let him progress.]]
118
119	!!Dark Genie
120	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darkgenie.png]]
121	A dark genie being unleashed upon the world that threatens to destroy it.
122	----
123	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler: The creature we think is the Dark Genie is revealed to be a mere rat that got locked into the urn along with the real Dark Genie.]]
124	* BarrierChangeBoss: Certain parts of his model change colors to indicate the element he's currently vulnerable to during his first phase.
125	* CutsceneBoss: [[spoiler: The fake Genie is defeated in by the Sun Giant in a cutscene. There's some speculation that the fight was supposed to be a Duel, but what we have in the finished product is non-interactable]].
126	* EldritchAbomination: He doesn't have a physical form after he's released from the urn.
127	* DarkIsEvil: He is the '''Dark''' Genie after all.
128	* HolyBurnsEvil: Averted in his first form where his elemental weaknesses change periodically, and the holy element doesn't occupy any special role in defeating him. Played straight in his final form.
129	* MadeOfEvil: As long as hate exists in humans, so too will the Dark Genie.
130	* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: The Genie is purple, as is all his magic.
131	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Seda [[spoiler:and Flagg]] gain red eyes when being possessed by the Dark Genie.
132	* EvilIsNotAToy: The Dark Genie has no problem killing [[spoiler: Flagg]] the second his usefulness runs out.
133	* HumanSacrifice: How Flagg was able to release the Genie from the urn.
134	* PowerOfHate: Is the embodiment of hatred.
135	%%* PurpleIsPowerful
136	* TimeTravel: The Genie plans to travel to all points in history to spread his evil.
