This page pertains the playable characters of Another Eden those join the player through the main story's progression. Do note that due to the nature of the game, some spoilers involving story characters that joined after Part I may be unmarked.

Story Characters

open/close all folders

In General

Balance Buff: Guildna was first to receive direct revisions to his skill effects to bring his performance in line with other units at the time. The rest of the main cast would receive the same treatment with Part III of Return of the Goddess of Time, at the same time that Feinne would finally receive her 5-star upgrade.
Crazy Enough to Work: Plenty of the party's plans throughout the story involve schemes no sane person would normally attempt, such as launching themselves using a giant cannonball to infiltrate the Riftbreaker... and they work anyway. This is lampshaded several times throughout the story.
(the party discussing about getting into Purgatory)
Straw Dummy: Right, you'd need to be cautious. It's a mad place. But you're a pretty mad bunch, so I reckon you'll be all right.
Fish out of Temporal Water: Given the time travel nature of the story, the main cast members are unfamiliar to the eras that they aren't from.
- For being the protagonist, Aldo is the first one to experience this when a spacetime portal in the Moonlight Forest displaced him 700 years into the future. As such, he is shocked at the futuristic technology of Elzion, calling a transport as an "iron chest", and being surprised at security scans for example.
- This also applies to the other main story characters once they join Aldo's time-traveling quest, with various NPCs pointing out that their appearances look out of place. For example, Barouki's Mayor is surprised that Aldo has "peculiar friends" (Riica and Cyrus) when he returned home.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: When your party is comprised of individuals from different eras and races, this is inevitable. This is lampshaded several times by NPCs and other playable characters alike.
Kikyo: Humans, beasts, mechanical lifeforms, and even a frog... You've got some pretty interesting friends.
Time to Unlock More True Potential: With the exception of Altena who joins the roster as a 5-star, most of the story characters start out as 3-star units and capped at 4-star for the entirety of Part I. Starting with the Ogre Wars arc, the player gains access to story events and sidequests to make the 5-star board available (and for some characters, along with their personal weapons), though they still need to grind for the proper documents to unlock upgrades for the story characters. So far, the story characters who have received their 5-star classes are:
- Aldo - Ogre Wars Part I
- Amy - Ogre Wars Part II
- Riica - One Other Ordeal
- Cyrus - The Devilishness Revived
- Helena - The Closed-Off Open World and the Azure Rebel
- Guildna - The Rebirth of the Beast King
- Feinne - Return of the Goddess of Time Part III: Conclusion
- Galliard - A Paradise of Imperfections

Aldo

Aldo/Kyros Chronos/Sorik

Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama (Japanese), Jared Zeus (English)

The main character of Another Eden. Aldo and his sister, Feinne were raised by the mayor of Baruoki after being found in the Moonlight Forest. He always means well, although he doesn't always think things through to the fullest.

And This Is for...: Gives one in Dunarith's Another Style quest as he deals the killing blow towards the evil spirit that was ultimately responsible for turning Dunarith's sister Reliath into evil spirit in the first place and caused the former much grief. It's also one instance where he is very visibly angry.
BFS: Ogre Rancorem is huge. How Aldo manages to lug such a gigantic sword on his waist all the time without much trouble is unknown.
Big Brother Instinct: He is very protective of Feinne, and her kidnapping is what kicked the plot of Part I into motion.
Big Brother Mentor: Aside from being a literal big brother, he serves as this for some characters such as Akane.
Book Dumb: As Aldo himself admits from time to time, such as in AS Claude's quest when he said something about ending up "using the book as pillow" when Feinne tried to get him to read more. Despite this and his occasional naivete, he can be quite perceptive and able to piece what knowledge he has to get the party out of trouble when the situation allows it, such as in the Western Mythos when he suggests to Mistrare to use Stifling Song to neutralize the Geo-powered weapons cornering them after the party gets separated by Emperor Schnaud, since the moon's Geo element is based on the fusion of underworld spirits and the Stifling Song is meant to neutralize said spirits.
Cassandra Truth: Downplayed. Amy is the first character whom Aldo meets when he got displaced to the future, and he finds it hard to explain to her that he's from the past. Amy gave him the benefit of the doubt and eventually believed his story when the local blacksmith appraised Aldo's weapon and confirmed that he's from the past.
Chick Magnet: Some female playable characters fall for Aldo throughout their quests^note, and a few NPCs also show varying degrees of attraction to him. Unfortunately, he is Oblivious to Love.
The Chosen One: In Ogre Wars Part I, he becomes chosen as the champion of the Dragon God, which also makes his 5-star Dragon Bearer class available.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: Aldo is always willing to help anyone he meets with whatever they need help with, no matter how unimportant it may seem. Sidequest dialogue lampshades this repeatedly.
Aldo: (in a discussion with Victor) Do I have a sign on my back that says, "Will help for free" on it, or something?
Critical Hit Class: After the Balance Buff and completing Part II, Aldo becomes this, as his personal grasta "Dragon God's Might" gives him innate 30% critical rate chance and 30% critical damage boost, in addition to his "Volcano Blade" skill can grant the entire party another 30% critical damage boost. Completing Chapter 5 of "The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales" solidifies this further through his personal weapon Ogre Rancorem: Light that gives additional 70% critical rate — meaning that when combined with personal grasta, his attacks will always land Critical Hits.
Demonic Possession:
- In the second half of Ogre Wars, Aldo is briefly possessed by Ogre Rancorem, who then proceeds to control his body to kill the Thunder King. The party has to fight him to get him back.
- This happens again in Garambarrel's third character quest after Ogre Rancorem absorbs the dark miasma during the fight in the quest, although Garam and Geldbariss thankfully make quick work of him.
Determinator: Nothing stops Aldo from trying to save Feinne and later, Eden, no matter how much the odds are stacked against him. If the Conclusion chapter of Goddess of Time arc is anything to go by, this is pretty much a necessity to overcome the hurdles the party is facing in the chapter.
Does Not Like Spam: If the cooking skits in "Tales of Chronographia" Symphony are any indication, Aldo is not fond of hot food (as in, in terms of temperature and spiciness). Presumably, it serves as another hint that he used to be a cat.
Foreshadowing: There are multiple hints throughout the game that he is Professor Chronos' cat instead of son, such as the bell collar that he wears and his ability to enter Gallery of Dreams even though normally only cats can enter it for some reasons.
Fighting from the Inside: When possessed by Ogre Rancorem in the second half of Ogre Wars, Aldo managed to stop his then-controlled body from slashing Feinne. It's not strong enough to weaken Ogre Rancorem's influence, however, and the rest of the party has to beat the possession out of him.
Good Morning, Crono: A Running Gag for Aldo. Likely due to being a Heavy Sleeper, Aldo has to be waken up in the beginning of each arc... and he is promptly admonished for sleeping until noontime. It starts out with Feinne, though later instances have other characters mimicking Feinne's voice through various methods.
Heroes Prefer Swords: He uses a sword, as is common for the main character in an RPG.
Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of Part I, he turns back into a cat and merges with Eden in order to free him, then they disappear into light. He gets better.
"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: In Ogre Wars Part 2, Ogre Rancorem takes over Aldo's body. You have to beat the tar out of him to free him.
Insult of Endearment: In the "Heroes of Bygone Days and the Engraved Oath" and May's character quest, Aldo is frequently being referred to as a lech^note by his Childhood Friends, presumably due to his habit of saying things without much thought that can leave others flustered (particularly girls who have crush on him such as May herself). That said, despite his exasperation at the insult, they do not mean it in malicious manner and is more like a friendly thing among them.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: Although he doesn't explicitly have the "cat lover" trait like his sister does, Aldo is shown throughout the game to be fond of cats. Well, since he is a cat...
Last-Second Word Swap: Just before Cyrus is convinced to join the party, Aldo would've described his home as a mere swamp, before correcting himself by saying "lovely swamp".
Magikarp Power: As of the release of "Return of Goddess of Time Part III: Conclusion", Aldo's 5-star skills become this, arguably even moreso than other characters in the game. While the Balance Buff now enables him to stand on even ground with the newer 5-star units, making the most of Aldo's full potential requires the player to play until halfway of Chapter 83 and take time to grind for his Guiding Light stat, since the power of his 5-star skills becomes directly influenced by said stat after a plot-relevant event in said chapter. Maximize his Guiding Light, however, and it becomes possible for Aldo to demolish extremely tough Superbosses with the proper support and set-up.
Magnetic Hero: He's able to attract a lot of allies to join him in his quest, especially once you count the player characters gotten through dreams. This includes people who would be on bad terms (Deirdre before The Reveal and Anabel), bitter rivals (Krervo and Nonold) or mortal enemies (Miyu and Shion)
Nice Guy: Always willing to help out those in need. He's known as his hometown's golden boy for a reason.
Not So Above It All: Aldo may serve as the voice of reason in the more comical quests most of the time, but even he is not immune to wackiness surrounding him in some quests. This is best exemplified in a quest in Gadaro involving a supposed message from some outer beings, where he dances along with the elders that are part of a group researching said beings in an attempt to communicate with them.
Odd Friendship: Given the colorful cast of characters, it is inevitable that Aldo's relationship with some of them falls into this. A few of the notable ones are Gariyu (who is normally arrogant and will not listen to anyone, but is willing to consider not burning down a village when Aldo reins him) and Elga (who explicitly states that she has no need for allies or friends, and yet lets him hang around with her anyway for some reasons).
Oblivious to Love:
- Fan pairings aside, Aldo is none the wiser to the girls who fall for him throughout the game. Ironically, he is one of the better actors for plays based on love stories such as "The Mermaid Princess" and "The Promise Tree" in the theater minigame.
- This also applies to platonic love as well, much to Feinne's annoyance. In the beginning of Part 2, when Feinne is learning to cook rice balls in Izana, she states that she is learning it for the most important person for her. Aldo then comments that the person must be lucky, not realizing the person in question is him.
- A Tales collab skit has Zelos ask Aldo about the girl he likes. Aldo lists Ashtear, then Amy, then Feinne and Riica... and Zelos realizes that Aldo's mistaken his meaning of "like". He changes his question a little bit... and Aldo still misses the point.
- This gets to the point in Azami's second character quest that a little girl is capable of seeing what's going on and decides to walk off so the two can Get a Room!.
Only the Chosen May Wield: He's the only one that can draw Ogre Rancorem, the weapon that provides the ability to use Another Force. Integrated into gameplay as during the KMS infiltration sequence, Amy's party cannot use Another Force.
Ornamental Weapon: Ogre Rancorem for a portion of the main story, since Aldo would wield his equipped weapon in his mainhand instead. This Legendary Weapon is mostly kept sheathed on his back. And even if it helped him fight Guildna early on, it remained unusable until Aldo and Cyrus sought help in unlocking its power, Another Force. It wouldn't be until much later, in the Apex of Logic and Scales Mythos, where Ogre Rancorem becomes a wieldable sword, and one of Aldo's best weapons to boot.
Playing with Fire: Half of Aldo's skills are fire-based.
Pretty Boy: His pretty face garners attention in Izana and is used by a tanuki in an attempt to attract their crush.
Primary-Color Champion: Wears a blue tunic and red cape, and he is The Hero of the story.
Stepford Smiler: There are hints throughout "Song of Sword and Wings of Lost Paradise" Mythos that Aldo's inability to save Eden from the darkness of time at the end of Part I weighs quite a bit on him, and his adventures partially function as coping mechanism under the hope that his adventures will eventually lead to said goal. In Chapter 7 of the Western Mythos, Undine also notes that he is even more sorrowful than before, although Aldo himself doesn't seem to realize it and causes Melina to misunderstand the context.
Straight Man: Aldo usually serves as this in quests, especially to the more eccentric party members' antics such as Suzette. If there is someone who has to point out the absurdity of the situation, it's usually him.
Super Move Portrait Attack: As Aldo is the only character with the Protagonist personality type, he gets his own finisher if nobody else in the party is capable of a Combination Attack at the end of a fully charged Another Force.
Tomato in the Mirror:
- Aldo learns from the phantom that he's related to Professor Chronos of the future. Further investigation reveals that the Chronos's son is actually named Eden, not Aldo.
- Aldo later learns that he misunderstood the phantom, and he's not actually Eden. He was actually the professor's cat, transformed into a replica of Eden. And then he learns he was actually Sorik, the cat one of the children in Baruoki lost at the beginning of the game, who walked into a spacetime tear and ended up with the Chronos family.
Trauma Button: In the final chapter of "The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales", it is revealed that his inability to stop Multi-Dimensional Tremor and letting the Four Great Elementals in Antiquity sacrifice themselves back in Part I turns out to be this, to the point that he briefly blanks out and laments his powerlessness when he sees it repeating it again in the final chapter except in far worse scale. Curio has to give pep talk to give him the resolve he needed, which eventually works regardless of the fact that Curio purposely goads him into using Origin Force so he can kill Aldo afterwards under the Twilight Cardinal Vestige's orders.
Unexplained Recovery: After reverting back into a cat and merging with Eden, who then fades away, Aldo manages to return home and regain his human form.

Feinne

Feinne/Cecile Chronos

Voiced by: Ai Kayano (Japanese), Julie Rogers (English)

Feinne is Aldo's younger sister. She is kind, but perfectly willing to be forceful when she thinks it's needed. She's kidnapped near the start of the game by the Beast King, due to the mysterious power she has.

All-Loving Hero: Feinne believes in showing kindness to everyone, and will befriend beastfolk (a traditional enemy of humans) without batting an eye. Reading journals in the Beast King's castle reveal that she pleaded for mercy for a beast man that hit her.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to her Geo Prisma, it soon causes her to believe that humanity should be wiped out so that the beastfolk can rule it instead, before the Prisma's power causes her to fuse with Altena to become Beast Angel Geo Anguirus. She freed from it once its beaten.
Charged Attack: Her 5-star skill "Angel's Song: Sin" gets stronger with every stacked Purity buff, and after certain number, it will change into "Angel's Song: Feinne" that not only deals massive damage, but also fully heals the party.
Damsel in Distress: The Beast King kidnapping her sets Aldo's quest in motion.
Feminine Women Can Cook: The very first food item you get in her homemade sandwiches and she'll give you more if you don't have food in your inventory after rescuing her and she's much more feminine than Amy, Riica or Helena.
Forbidden Friendship: She became friends with Altena when they were children, even though their races are at war with each other.
Fusion Dance: She fuses with the Beast King's sister Altena, creating the monstrous Beast Angel Geo Anguirus. Much later, she can transform temporarily at will, even if Altena is at different era.
Genki Girl: The Goddess of Time episode shows Feinne to be much more upbeat compared to her earlier appearance, and she can be just as enthusiastic as the rest of the party when it comes to exploring new places.
Guest-Star Party Member: Feinne joins Aldo for a mission in Chapter 1, but leaves shortly when it's completed. She doesn't join until after the conclusion of Chapter 25
Informed Attribute: In Akane's character quest, when an NPC mentioned that Akane is like a younger sister to Aldo, the latter made an internal remark about Feinne being a Tomboy. Apart from being one not to be messed with when angry, however, Feinne is much more feminine when compared to other main female characters.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: An All-Loving Hero and she is fond of cats. She also has the "cat lover" trait.
Late Character Syndrome: Of the central cast, Feinne suffers the most from this trope because she only joins the roster after Chapter 25 as a 3-star character, at a point where the player's mainstay party is 4-stars or better, including the main characters. Her role as a healer is likely already overshadowed by someone more competent who's been raised throughout the course of Part 1, and she won't receive her 5-star upgrade until Chapter 80.
MacGuffin Girl: Being the host for Geo Prisma, she is naturally this, and why the Beast clan sought her.
Moses in the Bulrushes: Feinne was found abandoned in the woods as a baby. Professor Chronos was planning on rewriting time, so he sent her back in time to prevent her from being erased with the rest of the future.
Mystical White Hair: She has unusual story-relevant powers (the prototype of the Geo Prisma) and silver hair that makes her stand out.
Non-Elemental: Even though she possesses Earth resistance that is normally found in Wind-based units, all of Feinne's skills are neutral-aligned.
One-Winged Angel: She is forcibly fused with Altena and transformed into Geo Anguirus in Part I, resulting the party having to fight her to get her back. Much later in Part II, she transforms once again out of desperation when the berserk Sacred Beast is about to kill Aldo and Cyrus, and after she receives her 5-star upgrade, she can transform willingly while using skill Angel's Song: Feinne.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: She is the girly girl to Altena's Tomboy.
White Magician Girl: She's kind, wields a staff, is specialized in healing magic, and shows a distinct domestic side.

Riica

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Rebecca Kiser (English)

Riica is an all-purpose KMS android, whom Aldo meets during his first trip to the future.

Big Brother Is Watching: The Chronos Empire Strikes Back reveals that this is what she functionally serves for all versions of Madoka Chronos, who has the omniscient ability to view possibilities in other time layers. This is also why Ashtear had to abandon Kamlanage shortly after they escaped the Hollow Time Layer, so to shake off the Empire from finding them through the lens of playable Riica.
Character Tic: She is rather fond of twirling her antennae in story cutscenes. This is also her Idle Animation.
Cloudcuckoolander: Because Riica mostly just relies on her data banks and technological terms, she has shades of this when trying to describe stuff that don't actually need scientific explanations. For example, she muses how The Phantom isn't on her friends list when meeting it in the Tower of Time.
Combat Medic: She can use a mid-level healing spell, in addition to blunt and magical attacks. Her personal weapon improves this healing strength to let her contend with 5-star healers.
Comically Missing the Point: Starting from Ogre Wars arc, Riica seems to be prone to getting excited over things those are not supposed to be the main focus of the conversation, or drawing wrong conclusions from it. It's almost to the point of her being The Ditz, massive database nonwithstanding.
(when the party talks about restless souls in Ancient Battlefield and Amy is understandably terrified)
Riica: Not to worry, Amy. My biological scanner detects no signs of life in the vicinity.
Amy: That's not comforting at all! Actually, it makes things even scarier!
Deus ex Machina: Literaly. Her combat routine is called Deus Ex Machina Program.
Flawed Prototype: She was built to be a helpful android at first, but KMS decided to turn her into a fighting unit instead. Madoka Chronos tampered with her combat protocols to protest her being made into a weapon, causing various errors.
Full Health Bonus: After the Balance Buff, her "Gaia Stomp" will deal triple damage if she is at full health.
Healer Signs On Early: After Aldo gets teleported into the future, Riica becomes the first member of his party. She also comes equipped with a healing spell.
Insistent Terminology: She is not a robot made of metal, but an all-purpose KMS android made of high-quality alloys, thank you very much.
Nature-Loving Robot: She has the cat-lover trait, while being a robot.
No Sense of Direction: Riica's GPS module tends to malfunction which wrecks havoc on her navigation abilities.
Pink Is Feminine: A female KMS android with pink eyes and pigtails.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes are normally pink, but they turn red whenever she's angry or in combat mode.
Robot Girl: Riica is a work android created by KMS.
Shout-Out: Before the protagonists enter the Tower of Time, Riica quotes "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread", a line from Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism.
The Smart Guy: Riica fits this trope to some degree, as her massive database allows her to pull intel about almost everything - this is also acknowledged in one skit in the Symphony when the party talks about the brains of the group. However, as noted above there are times when she also overlaps with being The Ditz due to her tendency of Comically Missing the Point.

Amy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amy_350.png

Voiced by: Rina Sato (Japanese), Janine Harouni (English)

Amy is a hunter from the future, who lost her mother when the synth-humans first declared war on the humans. She helps Aldo get his bearings after he gets stranded in the future.

Action Girl: She is the most physically oriented among the main party.
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Her second quest has Amy and her father being interviewed by a journalist. Amy can only protest as her dad narrates all sorts of embarrassing moments of her childhood.
Big Damn Heroes: When it looks like King Miglance's remaining army is cornered during the fight against the Beast King, she shows up just in time to lend Aldo's party a helping hand.
Character Focus: "Ogre Wars Pt 2" has a few chapters dedicated to her relationship with two members of the Neohumans who she used to be friends with.
Critical Hit Class: Solidified after the Balance Buff. The upgraded "Blast Elysium" now allows Amy to land Critical Hit for three moves, and the damage for "Triple Down" is quadrupled if she lands crit.
Feminine Women Can Cook: Her profile mentions that she burns half the food she cooks, which emphasizes her lack of femininity.
Guest-Star Party Member: Amy accompanies Aldo in Elzion, but doesn't join until much later due to she also disappears along with the city and its citizens at the end of Chapter 4. Once Elzion is restored via the Tower of Time and she manages to cave her way into the Present era during the fight against the Beast King, she joins permanently.
Hidden Depths: Despite being one of the brawns of the group, she used to go to law school before ultimately settling into the path of huntress.
It's Personal: She makes it a personal matter to deal with the Neohumans as two of their members are her teenage crush and her former best friend who stole him away. Coming to terms with how she feels about them and their past unlocks her 5-star board.
Leeroy Jenkins: Subverted. She would've planned to charge through the Industrial Ruins and face Galliard alone, but Aldo insisted her to tag along with him and Riica.
The Lancer: Along with Cyrus, she alternates between the two roles.
- Some story parts such as the final parts of Tales from the East Volume II puts her as the unofficial second-in-command of the group. Also, unlike other characters whose quests are optional or tied to side episodes, Amy's two character quests are mandatory and run together with the main story.
- At the same time, she is also the type who is quickest to suggest action and easy to anger, making her one of the muscles of the group.
Power Fist: Her weapon of choice. During her introductory chapter, all available fist weapons even look distinctly mechanical.
Tomboyish Ponytail: Wears her hair in an unkempt ponytail, and is an Action Girl specialized in martial arts.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's terrified by ghosts, which makes the crossing of the Haunted Chateau very difficult for her.
You Killed My Father: The war against the synth humans is personal to her, because of her mother's death.

Cyrus

Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (Japanese), Tim Watson (English)

Cyrus is a swordsman from antiquity who looks like a frog. He hid away in a swamp due to his cursed form, but Aldo persuades him to join his quest.

And the Adventure Continues: The third of Cyrus' character quest has the party's attempt to (partially) break the curse cast upon Cyrus fails, as Cyrus no longer remembers how he is supposed to look like. With the curse-binder that takes away his original form still missing, Cyrus decided to continue traveling with Aldo under the hopes the curse-binder will turn up one way or another.
Antiquated Linguistics: His speech is very ornate even compared to characters of noble stock.
Beast Man: He's a humanoid frog.
The Big Guy and The Lancer: Like Amy, Cyrus alternates between the two roles.
- He more or less fits The Lancer role for some parts of the story, and he also has "Guiding Light" trait that allows him to do Combination Attack with Aldo.
- On the other hand, he is also rather hammy and and has Blood Knight tendencies, thus also putting him in The Big Guy territory.
Blood Knight: His quote when facing a Horror is "I tremble with excitement!". And he is notably excited to see IDA School's sword training classes and to fight Anabel and her Holy Sword.
Cloudcuckoolander: Is noted to be rather absentminded in his board profile, and there are plenty of moments in story and the theater minigame when he is either Comically Missing the Point or off in his own world.
Defeat Means Friendship: Thinking that Aldo and Riica are just intruding in his swamp, Cyrus challenges you into a battle before he can be convinced to join your party.
Expy: A very clear one to Frog from Chrono Trigger. Cyrus even shares the name of Frog's fallen comrade.
Full Health Bonus: Inverted — Following the Balance Buff, "Idle Nirvana Slash" not only does increased damage to enemies inflicted with Pain, but it also inflicts triple damage if he's missing even a sliver of health.
Informed Attractiveness: In Cyrus' third quest, Ratchett notes that Cyrus' original form before he was turned into a frog is "ruggedly handsome".
Injured Vulnerability: After the Balance Buff, Cyrus' mainline Non-Elemental skills will deal double damage if the target is inflicted with Pain. To support this, his "Water Slash" skill is also upgraded to inflict guaranteed Pain.
It's Personal: Everything involving Reptires is this for him, since the person in question is not only responsible for cursing him into his frog form, but also for leading King Palsifal and their family to their demise.
Katanas Are Just Better: Well he is a frog samurai, after all.
Large Ham: Some of his play reviews mention his overacting.
Loss of Identity: Addressed in Cyrus' third character quest. As it turns out, Cyrus' curse is divided into two parts: one that takes away his original form and necessitates finding the curse-binder to break, and one that turns him into the frog as he is now. Between having become a frog for so long and having his original form taken, Cyrus is no longer able to remember how he looks like on the front, which is why the attempt to overwrite the second part of the curse fails. At the end of the quest, both he and Aldo voice concern that had the curse been broken at that time right away, they fear that Cyrus will stop being the Cyrus that Aldo and the party have grown familiar with.
My Greatest Failure: He used to be the guardian of Palsifal royal family, until Reptires killed the king's entire family and drove Palsifal insane from despair. He is heavily weighed down by his failure to stop Reptires, and thus he made it his mission to avenge the royal family.
Oblivious to His Own Description: His first quest has him surprised to hear about a strange green monster in the swamp. While it turned out to be someone impersonating him and not actually himself, Cyrus fails to notice any resemblance of the description to him.
Vague Age: It's hard to tell due to his transformation, but he's estimated to be around 37 years old.
Verbal Tic: He croaks whenever he speaks.

Helena

Voiced by: Rie Tanaka (Japanese), Rebecca Boey (English)

Helena is a Synth Human, a special model designed by Professor Chronos himself. While she is Galliard's supporter, at heart she is a pacifist who wishes to co-exist with humanity.

Aloof Ally: She starts out as one as she hasn't completely forgiven the party for killing Galliard early in the story, though she smooths out as the story progresses.
A Day in the Limelight: "The Closed-off Open World and the Azure Rebel" (v1.9.0) is an entire Side Episode dedicated to her and her partner Galliard. It culminates unlocking her 5-star Ability Board. "A Paradise of Imperfections" (v3.5.50) also focuses on her, and elaborates on how her relationship with Aldo, Elzion, and the other Synth-human factions has changed over time.
Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments, especially when it comes to Riica.
(after Vares transforms into his humanoid form and becomes more mild-mannered)
Riica: The changing of one's personality to respond to each appearance—the result of acute etiquette protocol!
Helena: Oh, that sounds very much like nonsense, Riica. Did you find that in a self-improvement book or something?
Defeat Means Friendship: You have to fight her in a boss battle first before she joins you.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: She decides to seek new meaning in her life after the death of Galliard and joins the party to do so.
Due to the Dead: After the protagonists won the battle in the Industrial Ruins, Helena chose to let them go while she stays behind to mourn the death of Galliard.
Emotionally Tongue-Tied: In a private moment during her story episode, when it looks like Galliard will remain permanently deactivated, she muses about old fairy tales about True Love's Kiss and tries it on his body. She ends up quite embarrassed about this and explicitly wants to keep it a secret from him.
Gratuitous French: Randomly peppers in French in her speech and has a very pronounced French accent. This is carried over from her template.
Hero with Bad Publicity: As one should expect, the citizenry of Elzion is suspicious of her even long after she joined Aldo and took command of the pacifist Synth faction. While she's ultimately on good diplomatic terms with the Administrator, and has a lot of credit for preventing the out of control Riftbreaker from crashing into a populated Dome, the scars of war are not quick to heal.
Lady of Black Magic: She's elegant, mature, and primarily deals magical damage.
Magic Kiss: Delivered one in Azure Rebel. The kiss revived Galliard due to the hidden function that Professor Madoka and/or Chronos installed in Helena's and Galliard's mouths which allowed Helena to pass her personality AI.
Midair Bobbing: Helena floats all the time, and when she's not moving she'll bob up and down in place.
Past-Life Memories: Helena and Galliard's human templates were lovers, and the two remain close as partner units in the present.
Replacement Goldfish: Xianhua had this in mind when she first designed the synth Helena.
Sixth Ranger: She's the last character to join your party in the Main Story Part 1, and the only one not mentioned in the ads and trailers.

Guildna

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/101800041_base.png

Voiced by: Ryōtarō Okiayu (Japanese), Shane Taylor (English)

Guildna is king of the beast folk, a people descended from the elemental spirits. He kicks off the main plot by kidnapping Feinne, believing her to have the power that will allow him to destroy humanity. After the power of the Geo Prisma resurrects him in his younger form, he decides to find peace with the humans with the help of Altena.

Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Guildna's 5-star upgrade quest reveals this is how he got the Beast King title, with the quest pitting him as his former opponent during the time they ran for the Beast King title.
The Atoner: After being resurrected by the Geo Prisma and told by Feinne to give up his warring ways, he decides to work towards peace between beastfolk and humanity with the help of Altena. It should be noted that as noted in the story and during his 5-star upgrade quest, this is not necessarily done out of remorse and his hatred to humanity hasn't completely left him, but he is willing to leave it behind if the warring path would only lead himself and his people to their demise.
The Comically Serious: Guildna shows shades of this after becoming playable. For example, early in Part II, he hides in a barrel to meditate, and answers with completely straight face when Aldo questions him on what he is doing. While still being in said barrel.
The Corruptible: Addressed in his Valor Chant upgrade quest. Guildna reveals that he has always had the darkness within him for as long as he can remember, and the voice of darkness tempting him in that quest only makes it stronger. He very nearly succumbs to the darkness had it not for Vares snapping him out of it, but as the Time's Forgotten Stop barkeep notes, the darkness is still within him and it is up to Guildna to continue his journey with said darkness.
Defeat Means Playable: A very delayed version of this trope, as Guildna is defeated in Chapter 13 but doesn't even join the roster as a guest until Chapter 28.
Deuteragonist: He serves as this in the Ogre Wars arc, as he has his own important personal stake in the story - namely Altena getting kidnapped and being forcibly fused with Elemental Arms by Zennon Ogre.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Guildna's Valor Chant upgrade quest has him musing about this, as unlike Aldo and the rest of the party who have clear goal in mind for their journey, Guildna hasn't had a clear goal in mind on what to do as the Beast King after being resurrected.
Duel Boss: In Chapter 32, the revived Guildna is forced to confront his past warmongering self. His victory unlocks a new Personality Trait that lets him perform his own finishing move.
Expy: He can be seen as a sendup of Magus, being a former main antagonist who eventually joins the heroes. He also shares a gimmick of hitting harder as party members go down with Magus.
Fountain of Youth: When he is resurrected by the Geo Prisma, Guildna appears as his younger form from when he met Feinne as a baby. This causes confusion among his people as well as when he meets Altena again on Snake Island.
Mighty Glacier: Guildna has significantly higher Endurance than most other units, at the cost of some Speed. His unique weapon also amplifies his high physical resistance. His skill set is also more focused on powerful singular hits than striking multiple times in quick succession.
My God, What Have I Done?: Guildna has a huge one in his Valor Chant upgrade subquest, after he seemingly killed Vares when the latter attempted to snap him out of the darkness tempting him to rewrite the future of the beastfolk.
Oddly Shaped Sword: His personal weapon Sword of Despair has gigantic hook-like shape on its edge.
One-Winged Angel: Like his boss counterpart, he can transform into his beast form in his solo AF finisher.
Pet the Dog: He plays with an abandoned baby Feinne, even before noticing she could useful to him.
Super Move Portrait Attack: After confronting his alternate warmongering self in the middle of Chapter 32, Guildna unlocks a unique personality trait that lets him have his own Another Force finisher, much like Aldo's.
Wave-Motion Gun: His personal Another Force finisher has him switch to his Beast Form and fire a gigantic magic laser beam, just like when you face him in Chapter 13.

Galliard

Voiced by: Tsutomo Isobe (Japanese)

The commander of the Synth Human army, before his defeat. He was built along with Helena by Professor Chronos as a pair of twin units.

A Day in the Limelight: After his ressurection in "Azure Rebel", he played only minor roles in "Goddess of Time" and "Logic and Scales". Finally, "A Paradise of Imperfections" gives him, his development, and his current views more focus.
Back from the Dead: He gets resurrected during Helena's Side Episode. Only for him to die and need to be resurrected again.
Badass Biker: He uses his motorcycle once again to rescue Helena from Leo. The player also gets to play minigame featuring bike chase using him in "A Paradise of Imperfections" Episode.
Character Development: After Helena delivers a magic kiss, Galliard adjusts to Helena's personality AI and her personal desires. He wishes for a peaceful co-existence with humanity and becomes more open about his desire to protect Helena. Although Sebastia notes that he'll become less extreme about these desires as he adjusts before Helena's personality AI eventually fades away completely.
Cloning Blues: Inverted. The playable Galliard and Helena are both based on the scientists of the same name, both of whom were close associates of Chronos, Madoka, Xianhua, and Rindo and apparently died during phase shift accident in Proto Eden 18 years ago. Even while knowing this, Galliard is able to stand for who he is individually. The original Galliard, on the other hand, is absolutely livid that he had everything taken from him.
Defeat Means Playable: Very delayed. Fought at the end of Chapter 4, but you need to clear Chapter 44 to access The Closed-off Open World and the Azure Rebel to make him playable.
Heel–Face Turn: His "ghost" appears to help Helena, now firmly on the humans' side, prevent the Riftbreaker from crashing down, giving her a boost so she don't destroy herself in the process. Several chapters later, he gets revived as part of Helena's Side Episode and joins the roster.
In a Single Bound: Has an attack where jumps in the air, and then lands on the enemies a round later.
Late Character Syndrome: For a long while, the more advanced forms of Galliard's skill were locked behind unknown locked quest; in fact, even after the release of "The Chronos Empire Strikes Back", he remained to be the only story-centric character who was stuck in 4-star class. It didn't take until the 7th Anniversary of the Japanese version — well over five years since his debut — that he finally gets his 5-star with the release of '"A Paradise of Imperfections'" Episode, which also gives him and Helena Stellar Awakening.
The Leader: Of the Synth Human army.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Galliard's line during "A Paradise of Imperfections" Episode trailer (starting from 1:23) is as much of an in-universe line as much of a nod on how long it had taken until he finally gets his long overdue 5-star upgrade.
Galliard: Kept you waiting, huh?
Loophole Abuse: While he's airborne with his jump attack, his frontline slot is still considered occupied, and any attacks made at it will automatically miss. Timing his jump with pulling the rest of the party into reserves lets the player effectively No-Sell a deadly party-wide attack.
Oblivious to Love: He is unaware of Biaka's attraction to him, which prompts Sebastia to remark that he is similar to Aldo in this regard. In addition, he and Helena were once lovers in their past lives, and the two enjoy a close relationship as partner units, but is unable to see why Helena is easily riled up into jealousy by Biaka.
Old Man Shock: After he saved Biaka, he was shocked at being addressed as an old man, but got over it quickly.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: He declared war on the humans, but only because he blames the humans for the time quakes and thinks violence is the only thing humans will listen to. And when he found out partway through his rebellion that his mass-produced comrades had their design sabatoged to ensure such a war would happen, he did not take it well. By the time he becomes playable, though, he seems to have mellowed out.

Altena

Altena Fon Gardeel

Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese)

A beast girl, who met Aldo and Feinne years ago, when Feinne healed her leg. She's the younger sister of the Beast King, Guildna.

All Your Powers Combined: Her Fierce Spirit Dance skill is depicted by using all four Elemental Arms to strike a single enemy.
Assist Character: While Altena herself is playable, even if she is not in the active battle party, she can immediately come to Feinne's aid to temporarily transform into Geo Anguirus if Feinne uses "Angel's Song: Feinne" in combat.
Because You Were Nice to Me: Feinne healed Altena's injured leg back when they were little kids. This started the two girls' interspecies friendship.
BFS: Altena transforms herself into one when using the Spirit Sword skill.
Damsel in Distress: She gets kidnapped twice during the Ogre Wars Part I arc — first by the Berserk Geo Anguirus during the arc's final chapter, then by the Ogre clan to set up Part II.
Defeat Means Playable: An extremely delayed one, even more so than Guildna. She's fought as a boss at the end of chapter 22, but won't become playable until chapter 60.
Forbidden Friendship: Her friendship with Feinne runs into issues because their two species are at war. Aldo doesn't have anything against her personally, but thinks it's unwise for her to come to close to Baruoki.
Fusion Dance:
- As noted in her boss form, she fuses with Feinne to become Beast Angel Geo Anguirus. She can also do this willingly much later in Return of the Goddess of Time, as well as if Feinne uses Angel's Song: Feinne skill once her 5-star form is obtained.
- This also happens in Ogre Wars arc when Zennon Ogre uses her as the catalyst to fuse together the Elemental Arms.
Irony: She became Beast Angel Geo Anguirus to uphold beastkind's wishes. Later, once playable, she later absorbs the the power of both the dying Sacred Beast and the Four Elementals to uphold their and everyone's wishes.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: She follows Guildna more out of family obligations than hatred against humans and she's among the first beastfolk to side with Feinne's wish for peace between the two races.
Non-Elemental: All her skills are non-elemental, with her Spirit Sword skill adapting to the active Zone for elemental damage. She even gets resistance to all elements at once from her Ability Boards, instead of just one.
Promoted to Playable: In chapter 60, she joins the roster after being empowered by the Sacred Beast in Garulea.
Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Despite being Promoted to Playable halfway through the Return of the Goddess of Time arc and accompanies the party regularly since then in The Chronos Empire Strikes Back arc, she doesn't appear at all in the opening cinematic for the latter.
Situational Sword:
- One of Altena's support skills, Enhance Sword, boosts the attack of Sword-type characters at the cost of her health.
- As her Spirit Sword skill's extra damage is affected by Zones, the skill works best if the player already has Zone-deploying characters in the party.
Tastes Like Friendship: After they become friends, she gives Feinne a plum mushroom.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: She is the Tomboy to Feinne's girly girl.

Ashtear

Ashtear and Korobo

Voiced by: Wakana Yamazaki (Japanese), Sara Alexander (English)

Aldo's acquaintance in Baruoki, who is very knowledgeable on how Prisma works. According to Helena, she is the same Professor Ashtear who disappeared after completing the development of dream-like metal called Ashterium. She acts like an older sister to Aldo and Feinne.

For tropes pertaining Korobo himself, see the Sidekicks section instead.

Ascended Extra: Before the "Return of Goddess of Time Part III: Conclusion", while she has a unique sprite, she didn't have her own portrait like Ratchett did. Following the update, it is revealed that she is responsible for creating Gate Holder device that would allow the Master - AKA Aldo's future self - to temporarily open spacetime tear and travel through time as he pleases, and her Alternate Self plays a fairly major role in the Complex Dream storyline. She finally becomes a full-fledged party member with the release of The Chronos Empire Strikes Back arc, with her knowledge helping the party to deal with the situation in Hollow Time Layer.
Big Damn Heroes: How she joins the party. She saves the party in Spark Forge in Chapter 89 after they fell into the trap meant for lightspark thieves.
Cool Big Sis: For Aldo and Feinne, as well as Kid in the Complex Dream storyline.
Enemy Scan: Ashtear's Stress Test skill can reveal the enemy's elemental affinities (but not physical affinities).
Expy: Of Lucca from Chrono Trigger, and she is even named after Lucca's last name. The Chrono Cross Symphony even implies that she's Lucca's Alternate Self, with her Another World self donning the outfit that is almost exact same as Lucca.
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Ashtear continues the trend of gun users classified as Fist-class characters, but her offensive kits are treated as magic skills those scale off her PWR stat. Her mainline skills are also intended for defensive purposes by deploying defensive Zone that reduces damage on allies and enemies alike.
Ms. Exposition: She gives explanation on how Prisma works to Aldo in the beginning of the game. And later while accompanying the party in The Chronos Empire Strikes Back, she is also the one who explains what she knows about the Hollow Time Layer.
Mysterious Past: Coupled with Noodle Incident. Aside from the mention by Helena that she is Famed In-Story in Future era for completing the Ashterium metal and disappearing afterwards, the ending of first part of The Chronos Empire Strikes Back strongly indicates that she might have come from the Chronos Empire itself, but decided to go against the Chronos Emperor to stop the Empire's plan to rewrite time. The Chronos Emperor himself scorns at her for "wasting her potential", and Ashtear acknowledges that she "shouldn't have run away" back then. Part 2 of "Into The Hollow" sheds a bit more light on her story: Hollow Madoka asked Ashtear to flee the Hollow Time Layer into the main Time Layer with an infant Kamlanage. She obliged, although she had to drop Kamlanage in Future Garulea and part ways with him to avoid Hollow Madoka's overseer ability to track them, then settled in Aldo and Feinne's era.
Promoted to Playable: A very belated example. She has been around since the beginning of the game, but did not become playable until Chapter 89 — almost six years since the launch of the game in Japan (or four years in Global).
Random Number God: Her "Mystery Bullet" skill, much like Lucca's Wondershot, deals damage with a random modifier, although it can be upped as long as she has her personal Material buff.
Smart People Wear Glasses: Ashtear is a world-renowned scientist in Future era and also wear glasses. It also occasionally shines when she makes her point.

Kamlanage

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (Japanese), Eric Sigmundsson (English)

The young leader of the Chrono Clan. Encountered in the ruined future Garulea. He's also acquainted with Kikyo, who resides near the ruined Chapel of the Goddess of Time.

Apocalypse Maiden: Whatever the exact plan Hollow Chronos has for him in order to save the Chronos Empire, it seems to be linked to his connection to the Hollow God, and it is noted to have potential to destroy the entire world.
Busman's Vocabulary: He's the keyboardist for Paradoxical Dreamers, so a lot of his battle-related dialogue has music-related jargon.
A Child Shall Lead Them: Young, but still the leader of the Chrono Clan. Even the party is surprised at how young he is.
Evil Costume Switch: Zigzagged. Kamlanage switches from his white overall that he worn as ally to the party into black overall upon joining Chronos Empire, but switches back to his usual attire upon joining the party, noting that his previous outfit is too stuffy.
Hazy-Feel Turn: Kamlanage is a solid ally to Aldo's party during the entirety of Return of Goddess of Time arc, but following Emperor Chronos revealing himself and claiming Kamlanage to be his son sometime before The Chronos Empire Strikes Back, he joins Chronos Empire without hesitation, though his motivations remain up in the air. In Chapter 95, he decided to join Aldo's group, but this is also driven more by his lack of purpose upon finding out who he is and trying to figure out what he wants to do now.
Memento MacGuffin: His necklace is a keepsake from the Hollow Madoka.
Moses in the Bulrushes: The Chronos Empire Strikes Back Part II reveals that He is the son of Hollow Time Layer version of Chronos and Madoka, who rule over the Chronos Empire. However, whatever Emperor Chronos had plans for him for, Hollow Madoka objected to it, and she eventually requested Ashtear to escape with baby Kamlanage from the Hollow Time Layer before her untimely death. Due to all versions of Riica acting as Madoka's observer — and thus the possibility of Chronos Empire tracking them down through Riica, though, Ashtear was left with no choice but to go separate ways from him.
Promoted to Playable: He officially joins Aldo in Chapter 95 of the main story.
Shock and Awe: Not only is he a Thunder element character, but he's a Thunder Zone setter and can also awaken it.
