Pri "Quadra" Forsythe
Voiced by: Anjali Kunapaneni (English)
- Action Girl: Same as Shasa, Ichika and Ilya before her, though she has a much bigger role as the leading lady of Quadstrike.
- Be Yourself: The first few episodes have her feeling conflicted over whether she can only become a strong Blader while wearing her mask. Ken gives her a confidence boost by telling her that whether she's Pri or Quadra, mask or no mask, she's still the same person. She ultimately decides that she will blade as both Pri and Quadra continuing to wear the mask because it's cool.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: At one point, she uses Bel's "preparing for victory" line.
- Character Development: A big part of her character is about growing confident as a blader and simply herself, even learning to be her own person rather than a tool for her brother. This is shown in the creation of Flame Pandora, which, unlike Pandora's first three forms, had to be created without Pax's help.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Considering Bel's still an active character, the comparisons between the two are easier to spot. Bel and Pri both enjoy blading, and both make physical improvements to their Beys and performance all the time. However, Bel's theatrics are on full display, sometimes to other Bladers' annoyances, whereas Pri only becomes more expressive as Quadra and is otherwise a lot less confident.
- Dance Battler: She incorporates dance moves into her blading style, and her official profile even describes her as a talented dancer.
- Deuteragonist: While Bel is still the main character, the plot mainly revolves around Pri learning about herself through Beyblade and her relationship with her brother Pax.
- Elemental Powers: Her Bey's main theme, Pandora, revolves around four main elements:
- Shock and Awe: Lightning Pandora, a Stamina-type Bey.
- Making a Splash: Tidal Pandora, an Attack-type Bey.
- Playing with Fire: Flame Pandora, a Balance-type Bey.
- Blow You Away: Twister Pandora, a Defense-type Bey.
- Expressive Hair: The strand of hair on the top of her head will sometimes react according to her mood, such as scrunching up when she's agitated.
- Genki Girl: She's shown to be quite excitable and outgoing. Especially once she goes into her Quadra persona.
- Meaningful Name: Her nickname is "Quadra", and she eventually carries four Beys, each representing the four forms of Pandora. In fact, she better fits the "Quad" part of the title QuadStrike than Bel does with the QuadDrive title.note
- Multiform Balance: Similar to Dante, she can switch out her Beys to better suit her situation. Wielding 4 different forms of Pandora: Lightning (Stamina), Tidal (Attack), Flame (Balance), and Twister (Defense). unlike Dragon who only needs to switch the layer, these are four separate Beys entirely. In addition, she will default to the most recent Bey, but will sometimes switch it up if she thinks another form would be easier for her to deal with.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: She becomes Quadra just by tightening her hoodie, ditching her sweat pants and donning her mask. She managed to fool everyone at Phantom's Gate until she revealed herself as Pri.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Unlike her cool, level-headed brother, Pri is more outgoing and expressive.
Pax Forsythe
Voiced by: Darrel J. Delfin (English)
A former Blader who was forced to end his Blading career after an unknown accident. He now works as a Bey Trainer, researching the elemental power in Beys in order to perfect Pandora. He is Pri's older brother.- Becoming the Mask: Inspired by how strong Shu was as Red Eye, as well as how strong Pri was as Quadra, he wants to use a mask to help him become the Blading Legend that Bladers like Valt had become. To that effect, he puts on a half mask and a gauntlet which he claims to enhance his elemental power. The gauntlet is also designed to discharge excess energy to ensure his launching arm stays safe. What this is actually doing is to prevent himself from looking at his injured arm, as looking at it triggers memories of when he lost everything bar Pri due to aforementioned injury. This almost came at the side effect of having him possessed by Pandemonium due to his limited understanding of resonance.
- Career-Ending Injury: He injured his arm after pushing himself too hard, preventing him from entering the International Blader's Cup and forcing him to retire from Beyblading. It's later revealed that the trauma of losing everything he had loved and worked towards meant he never mentally moved on from it, and was adamant on reclaiming what he believed to be his rightful place alongside the blading legends. Shu is even worried that Pax might re-injure himself permanently because of how hard he's pushing himself after blading again. Ultimately subverted when he shatters his protective gauntlet when launching Pandemonium due to, you guessed it, pushing himself too hard in a battle with Bel... and discovering that by some miracle his arm has made a full recovery.
- Crippling Overspecialization: He may be well-versed in Elemental power, but as shown when he calls Valt and Shu's battle mediocre and loses to Bel in the series finale, he knows nothing about Resonance.
- Dramatically Missing the Point: The reason why he insists that Pri always wear her mask during battles is because he believes that's how Shu became so strong as Red Eye, completely misunderstanding the actual circumstances behind it. When he dons his own mask, he's still under the impression that Red Eye was the dominant personality and tries to copy his aspects.
- Easily Forgiven: Despite having spent most of the final season treating his sister like a pawn and undermining her growing confidence as a Blader, Pri's first action upon seeing him lose to Bel is give to him a big hug, showing that she still loves him. Given that she knew what Pax had been through and had just watched her brother finally be able to move on from the time he crippled his arm, this is no surprise.
- Evil Brit: He takes on an antagonistic role in the final part of QuadStrike, his motive being to claim a place alongside the Blading Legends, as well as achieve the greatest elemental power. His willingness to do next to anything to achieve his goals - including using his own sister as a vessel to live out his dreams for him - roots from the trauma of losing nigh-everything he loved and worked so hard to achieve as a result of a freak blading accident rendering him a cripple (specifically, the hospital said it was likely his right arm would never fully heal, forcing Pax to retire from blading), and thus a desperation to not let his work on elemental power be all for nothing.Pax: It still isn't enough. Everything I've done, everything I've worked for... I won't let it be all in vain...! I WON'T END LIKE THIS!
- Never My Fault: Pri is the one doing all the Beybattles, yet he blames her whenever her Pandora Beys fail to live up to his expectations, even though he is the one who made them in the first place.
- Non-Action Guy: Since he can no longer Blade due to his injury, he relies on his sister to do all the battling for him. Subverted during the last arc, as he decides to don a mask and gauntlet that protects his arm to start blading again.
- Remember the New Guy?: It turns out he was around during the International Blader's Cup, but was unable to compete due to injuring his arm seemingly beyond repair.
- Secretly Selfish: Despite his claims that everything he is doing is for Pri, it soon becomes apparent that that his creations of Pandora and later Pandemonium are purely for himself. Turns out it really was for her, but his growing frustrations and jealousy shifted his priorities. Speaking of which, during his battle with Bel when fans were rooting for him, all he heard was them rooting for Pri.
- Smart People Speak the Queen's English: He has a rather 'proper' English accent, and he's a Bey Trainer who's well-versed in researching elemental power.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A flashback shows that prior to his accident, he was actually very loving and caring towards Pri when they were younger. However, it's pretty apparent that their relationship has become strained since then.
