11The main protagonist of the novel series and a wandering spearwoman from Kanbal.
12----
13* ActionGirl: She is a wandering spearwoman who works as a bodyguard for hire to save eight lives in exchange for the eight lives her mentor killed in her defense.
14* TheAtoner: She works as a bodyguard to save eight lives in exchange for the eight lives her mentor killed in her defense. In the anime, she has added the additional caveat [[MartialPacifist not to kill anyone]] in the course of her quest, after her lifelong friend, Tanda, pointed out that killing people to save people is an oxymoron.
15%%* BadassAndChildDuo: With Chagum and later with [[spoiler:Asla]]. As a Child with Jiguro during her childhood.
16* BadassNormal: Some of her opponents use magic, she never does.
17* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: In the anime, she receives some serious injuries during the anime, but none of them leave visible scars. We can assume she ''must'' have a nasty one on her stomach, but her clothes are rather modest and only show her arms and face, which remain untarnished.
18* BloodKnight: In the novels, it is stated that Balsa is painfully aware that her love for fighting and guilt are two of the reasons she probably will [[InHarmsWay never change]] [[ChallengeSeeker her current lifestyle]]. It's even more apparent in ''Wanderers'' about her early teenage days.
19* CombatPragmatist: In the anime, in times of desperation, Balsa will start brawling and fight dirty and does whatever it takes to ensure Chagum's survival. She's fine if she has her spear with her, but if she loses that, you better prepare to have your eye socket [[ImprovisedWeapon crushed in by a rock]].
20%%* CoolBigSis: To Chagum and some other children.
21* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father who was Royal Physician at that time had his best friend Jiguro take his six-year-old daughter and escape their homeland, because [[spoiler:he was [[IHaveYourWife blackmailed]] by Prince Rogsam, who wanted to become the next king of Kanbal, into poisoning the King. If he hadn't had done that, Balsa would have been long dead.]]
22* ExperiencedProtagonist: She is already a pretty renowned bodyguard by the start of the story, which is part of why the Empress asks her to protect Chagum after she saved him from drowning. Her deceased master, Jiguro, began teaching her at age 12. By the time she was 16, Balsa could already fight better than the men in their area and spent the next twelve years honing those skills.
23* FailureKnight: She agrees to protect Prince Chagum despite the danger (and the attempted trickery) because she feels she has to atone for the eight lives her mentor killed in her defense; furthermore Chagum is also a ReplacementGoldfish for herself, as he is in pretty much the same situation she was in as a child.
24* FamedInStory: [[spoiler:As she later discovers, despite never having her most heroic deeds officially recognized, she becomes world-famous thanks to certain WanderingMinstrel...]]
25* FriendToAllChildren: She kickstarts the entire story by becoming the bodyguard of Chagum, a young boy. She swiftly becomes a major MamaBear to him, as well as a ParentalSubstitute. Additionally, she met [[HeartwarmingOrphan Toya and Saya]] when she saved them from a group of thugs. Toya seems to regard her as an elder sister, and states that he would willingly "go through fire and water for her."
26* GeniusBruiser: She is highly intelligent as well as [[ActionGirl a capable warrior]].
27* GuileHero: She puts her intelligence to good use when outnumbered.
28* HeroicVow: She has vowed to save eight lives in exchange for the eight lives her mentor killed in her defense. In the anime, when her childhood friend and healer, Tanda, [[WhatTheHellHero called her out]] on how many lives she was taking in her efforts to accomplish that goal, she further swore [[ThouShaltNotKill never to kill]].
29* LadyOfWar: She's able to read the situation and assess the battle, uses a spear as her weapon, prefers to fight her opponents honorably (even if they don't), looks quite graceful while doing it. But she's always mindful to ''[[ThouShaltNotKill spare her opponents' lives]]'' in the anime.
30* LittleMissBadass: Even as a child, she was really good with a spear.
31* MamaBear: Don't even try to hurt the children she's protecting.
32* MarriedToTheJob: She always puts her job as a bodyguard first, making her unable to fully commit to Tanda.
33* MartialPacifist: In the anime, she's sworn an oath never to take a life [[spoiler:and has a near-HeroicBSOD on one occasion where she thought she'd violated it]].
34* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Balsa is a veteran ActionGirl and TheStoic. Her childhood friend, Tanda, is a gentle HouseHusband who honed his [[TheMedic healing]] skills by patching up her wounds over the course of 20 years.
35* NervesOfSteel: She [[spoiler:almost single-handedly, really quickly and without hesitation amputates Tanda's hand to save his life.]]
36* NoHuggingNoKissing: Her 'relationship' with Tanda. [[spoiler:Or so we thought.]]
37* NotSoStoic: There are a few occasions when her stoic facade crumbles quickly.
38* OutdoorsyGal: As a child, she really liked climbing trees, etc.
39* ParentalAbandonment: She lost her mother to illness at five and her father to Prince Rogsam's plot at six.
40* ParentalSubstitute: She pulls double duty as guardian figure and {{bodyguard|Babes}} to [[ShelteredAristocrat Prince Chagum]], after being hired to protect him. At one point in the anime, [[spoiler:she even gives him a knife, a symbolic tradition of coming of age in her home country]]. Earlier in the anime, Tanda even points out that her vow to protect Chagum until he's safe means that for all intents and purposes she has become the boy's mother.
41* RedemptionQuest: She works as a bodyguard to save eight lives in exchange for the eight lives her mentor killed in her defense. In the anime, she has added the additional caveat [[MartialPacifist not to kill anyone]] in the course of her quest, after her lifelong friend, Tanda, pointed out that killing people to save people is an oxymoron.
42* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When she was a teenager, her primary motivation was [[spoiler:desire for revenge and hate directed at Prince Rogsam for making her childhood living nightmare. She really wanted to kill him, but he died before she could do it.]]
43* SheKnowsTooMuch: In ''Guardian of the Darkness'', [[spoiler:Yuguro tries to have her killed because she knows the truth about his past where he supposedly killed Jiguro and retrieved the rings of the King's Spears.]]
44* SlaveLiberation: In the anime, she spends all of the Second Queen's gold to liberate the slaves owned by the Blue Hand. This frees them and creates a diversion from the manhunt.
45%%* TheStoic: Most of the time.
46* TechnicalPacifist: In the anime, she is not above wrestling people into submission, knocking the wind out of them, simply pummeling them senseless with the blunt end of her spear, or [[CombatPragmatist smashing someone's face in with a rock]]. However, she has sworn an oath never to take a human life and never deals fatal wounds or fights to kill -- in one case she's forced to do so, she goes into a HeroicBSOD after the battle (though she later learns her opponent survived).
47* TheseHandsHaveKilled: She doesn't use the phrase directly, but her entire life so far has been about saving lives because she feels responsible for her foster father having to kill eight men (his own best friends, who were all members of a king's PraetorianGuard, to boot) to keep her alive.
48* ThouShaltNotKill: In the anime, she refuses to take a life, no matter the circumstances.
49* TimeShiftedActor:
50** In the radio drama, she is voiced by Jun Karasawa as an adult and by Tamaki Oka as a child.
51** In the live-action drama, she is played by Haruka Ayase as an adult and by Kaya Kiyohara and Naho Yokomizo as a young child.
52%%* TomboyishPonytail: She wears her hair in a high ponytail.
53%%* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Tanda. [[spoiler:They do.]]
54%%* WorthyOpponent: In the anime, the Mikado's royal guard chasing her and Chagum see her as this.

63----
64%%* AstralProjection: Chagum starts doing this as the egg gets close to hatching.
65%%* AttendingYourOwnFuneral: In Episode 6, after faking his death.
66* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In the anime, after having a form of gambling explained to him for the first time, he not only very quickly works out the odds involved, but also how the con-men running the game are rigging it. He ends up driving them out of business by winning everybody's money back, using the con artists' own tricks against them.
67* DemonicPossession: Subverted. The Mikado wants Chagum dead in the belief that the water demon possessing the boy will cause a drought. In reality, Chagum carries the egg of Nyunga Ro Im, a benevolent water spirit cherished by the native Yakoo people.
68* DistressedDude: In ''Traveler of the Indigo Road'', [[spoiler:a pirate ship takes him to the Southern Continent after a Talsh spy kidnaps him.]]
69* ElementalEyeColours: He [[spoiler:carries the egg of Nyunga Ro Im, a benevolent water spirit]]. In the anime, he also has a noble, innocent personality typical of blue eyes.
70* FakingTheDead: In ''Traveler of the Indigo Road'', [[spoiler:Chagum fakes his own suicide to escape from the grasp of a Talsh prince. Later, he travels to Lota and Kanbal to forge an alliance between the two kingdoms in order to stop Talsh from invading the rest of the Northern Continent.]]
71* FamilyHonor: Chagum believes in this to the extent that he ends up making a bet to eat slugs if he loses what amounts to a wrestling match and disobeying Balsa to defend it in episode 12.
72* FishOutOfWater: He has to flee the palace under the protection of [[ActionGirl Balsa]] because his father is trying to kill him in the belief that he is possessed by the legendary water demon who once brought a terrible drought. Going from a life of luxury to being on the run is a bit of a harsh transition for him, though he adapts well later on.
73* FriendToAllLivingThings: In the anime, whether a baby bird or a frog, he cares about them all. [[spoiler:This ends up saving his life as the very baby bird he and his brother took care of ended up saving the egg of Nyunga Ro Im.]]
74* ImportantHaircut: His long hair is cut short by Saya to help disguise him in episode 6.
75* MisterSeahorse: The egg of Nyunga Ro Im is inside of him and waiting to hatch. [[spoiler:However, doing so has Rarunga chase and trying to kill him.]]
76* NobleFugitive: He's on the run with Balsa because his father wants to kill him to avoid what they perceive to be a greater tragedy.
77* NonActionGuy: He's a prince with no combat training who serves as the LivingMacGuffin in ''Guardian of the Spirit''. Balsa gives him a little training while he's in her care, though.
78* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: In the anime, he didn't even know that people had to spend money to own shelter, a fact that deeply shamed him considering how much Balsa spent to ensure they could get away.
79* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Later in the novels, [[spoiler:Chagum embarks on a dangerous journey alone to stop the Talsh empire of the southern continent from invading New Yogo, Kanbal, and Lota.]]
80* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:As the Guardian of the Water Spirit, Chagum will be pursued by Rarunga, which seeks to devour the egg of Nyunga Ron Im within him as it hatches by tearing him apart. Everyone seeks to avoid this fate. They succeed.]]
81* SignificantWardrobeShift: In episode 24, upon reaching 12 years of age, he changes the child-sized peasant kimono he had been wearing for new clothing more fit for the prince he is - in more than one way, as it includes a Yogo kimono over a Yakoo tunic (the two peoples of his kingdom), with a Kanbal style sash (like Balsa's).
82* SpareToTheThrone: In the anime, he apparently received schooling because his older brother, Sagum, suffers from a SoapOperaDisease, and becomes the heir apparent after his brother succumbs to it. In either case, he is remarkably calm (although clearly not too pleased) about it.
83* TiredOfRunning: Chagum eventually states this in episode 19, [[spoiler:having been forced to flee the life he had grown accustomed to twice and knowing he'll be pursued by Ra Runga.]]
84* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:During episode 23 and onwards, Chagum becomes an EmpoweredBadassNormal, capable of leaping through trees with inhuman ease, resisting the cold, and [[WalkingOnWater running on water]] while in possession of the Water Spirit.]]
85* UniversallyBelovedLeader: In the anime, the people of Yogo love him, and for good reason. He's a good prince.

111* WhatTheHellHero: In Balsa's backstory in the anime, he called Balsa out over how many people she was killing and asking if saving eight lives could have any meaning if she killed so many more in the process. Balsa, as we see, took it [[ThouShaltNotKill very much to heart]].

268The main antagonist of ''Guardian of the Darkness''. One of the current King's Spears and the treacherous younger brother of Jiguro.
269----
270* BitchInSheepsClothing: Despite acting nice towards his family, Yuguro betrayed one of his brothers for an offer of prestige by Rogsam, the same usurper who framed Jiguro for treason to feed his lust for power, despises one of his nephews for being like Jiguro in personality, attempts to kill another for getting in the way of his ambition for eternal prestige, and, in the climax of the novel, has the gall to blame Jiguro for turning him into an outcast by escaping with "someone else's daughter."
271* ConsummateLiar: He's known how to deceive people since his childhood.
272* EmptyShell: He loses his mind after [[spoiler:the Giving Ceremony, which is a fitting end for him as it renders him no longer capable of deceiving and manipulating people.]]

274* ItsAllAboutMe: In the climax of ''Guardian of the Darkness'', he rants about how Jiguro turned him into an outcast by escaping with "someone else's daughter," ignoring that Rogsam was at fault for turning his entire clan into outcasts by framing Jiguro for treason.
275* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He plans to overthrow the Mountain King and gain free access to ''luisha'' against tradition, which would enrich the poor people of Kanbal. He actually cares more about achieving eternal glory for himself than the lives of his people, including his family and followers.
