History Characters / Maplestory2

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SarahWilliams (English, female)

Once trampled upon by an unnamed gang, the Knight was rescued and was inspired to become a hero and beacon of hope in a world of darkness. While their sense of justice is strong, it has also branded them as arrogant to the eyes of their fellow squires.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Used to go barefoot despite the snow until they caught a cold, prompting Lilin to make shoes to keep their feet warm.

* BareYourMidriff: In the Southeast Asian versions of the game, she wears a cape with no top underneath. The effect is that while her chest is covered, her entire stomach is on display.

* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Wields bow and arrows as their WeaponOfChoice.

A student of the Ellinel Magic School who doesn't attend classes much. She's often skipping them to the annoyance of Einos, but underneath her spacey attitude is an astounding amount of untapped potential and surprisingly high grades. Her casual outlook on school irks class president Kaitlynn, who sees her as a rival in the classroom. One magic duel and a razed classroom later, the Wizard is then sent out on a journey to become an archmage... even though said trip was booked far in advance.

* PlayingWithFire: As displayed in the prologue, where a female Wizard set fire to a forest and later the classroom in a magic duel. This puts her on the road to becoming an archmage, as it displays how much raw talent she has.

* IllGirl: [[spoiler:In the very distant past, a deadly illness swept through her household and left her bedridden. After she died, the Black Mage brought her back to life to become one of his commanders.]]

* IllGirl: She has a chronic illness that she receives treatment for in Tria.

* TheRival: Albeit one-sided. The Wizard doesn't really care, but the high grades infuriate her.

A martial artist who uses their strength to protect the weak.

->''"You protect your allies and are the first person in the front of each battle. You focus on your physique to make sure you can take all the punishment!"''

Once trampled upon by an unnamed gang, the Knight was saved by one and was inspired to become a hero and beacon of hope in a world of darkness. While their sense of justice is strong, it also branded them as arrogant to the eyes of their fellow squires.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: The major plot of the Knight's Prologue, where they insist on helping a fellow squire who is too exhausted to keep up with their training, earning them the ire of their superior.

->''"Your rage is unmatched and you slam your foes to a pulp! You are a one man army and enter every battle with calculated recklessness!"''

->''"Nothing satisfies you more than the whistle of your arrow hitting your target from a distance."''

->''"You like to barrage your enemies with bullets and other high-tech explosives. You like gadgets that go BOOM!"''

->''"You use otherworldly arts to vanquish your foes into dust."''

A student of the Ellinel Magic School who doesn't attend classes much. She's often skipping them to the annoyance of Einos, but underneath her spacey attitude is an astounding amount of untapped potential and surprisingly high grades. Her casual outlook on school irks class president Kaitlynn, who sees her as a rival in the classroom. One magic duel and a razed classroom later, the Wizard is then sent out on a journey to become an arch mage...even though said trip was booked far in advance.

->''"You spread your blessings and keep your allies alive and fighting strong. As the backbone of every raid, what party can survive without the support of a Priest? As the Priest, you are charged with caring for the wounded at the front lines of battle."''

->''"You like to stay in the shadows and pick up anything that's nice and shiny! As the Thief, you learn the hard way that you can't trust anybody – not even your cohorts on the streets."''

->''"You mark your target from a distance and close in for the silent kill. You typically like working alone, but you sometimes welcome the aid of others."''

* TheComicallySerious: They always talk in a dull monotone voice, with an overall literal wording structure and stoic demeanor. But that doesn't stop them from engaging in the same ridiculous scenarios like the other classes.

%%* SoulPower

[[folder:Striker]][[/folder]]

One of Knight's peers who collapsed while training. The Knight risked their careers insisting to have him recovered even when the commander insists to keep training.

[[folder:Oska]]
An elf archer who looks over Henesys.
----
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: You'd be forgiven for thinking she's just Athena Pierce from the first game at first glance.

!!Ellinia

[[folder:Einos]]
A wizard studying TheCorruption from the Shadow Gate. [[spoiler:Is really the Innocent of the Maple World.]]
----
* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler:Pathos, who is manifested as his dark counterpart when Einos chose light.]]
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:Is the Maple World's Innocent, an individual with tremendous power who has to choose between a light or dark path.]]

[[folder:Kaitlynn]]
Class president of Ellinel Magic School. She possesses a haughty demeanor and belittles everyone except herself, but is head over heels for Einos, the class professor. Kaitlynn inadvertently gets herself involved in the conflict when a situation arises involving the professor.

* AnIcePerson: Dominantly uses ice magic during the magic duel.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Belittles the player at first, but slowly warms up to them over the course of the Ellinia arc. After the player [[spoiler:saves Einos]], she fully respects them and offers her help with minimal complaint.
* TheRival: Albeit one-sided. The Wizard doesn't really care, but the high grades infuriate her.
* TeacherStudentRomance: She ''really'' wants to be the teacher's pet, complete with...ahem, private study lessons. She's even starry-eyed for him in the prologue. It doesn't go anywhere beyond her swooning, however.

!!Perion

[[folder:Rolling Thunder]]
Wolf Heart's son who is next in line to become Perion's chief.

[[folder:Wolf Heart]]
Perion's War Chief and one of the Seven Heroes.

* BlessedWithSuck: His lifeforce is linked to The Last Of The Vayar. The only effect this visibly has is making The Last Of The Vayar into a giant VoodooDoll for him, resulting in both of them getting cursed and [[spoiler:him dying once The Last Of The Vayar is destroyed]].
* HeroicSacrifice: He dies [[spoiler: fighting off The Last Of The Vayar, who is BrainwashedAndCrazy, even though that would kill him since their lifeforces are linked. Muztafa, his wolf partner, decides to fight and die alongside him.]]

[[folder:Evagor]]
The self-proclaimed strongest warrior in Perion. He has anger issues, but his friend Screaming Fist swears there's a heart of gold hidden beneath that rage.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He takes immense pride in his strength, but his short temper and inability to admit his shortcomings lead him down the path of failure.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He wasn't born into the tribe and secretly worries that they don't fully accept him; his self-importance seems to be him trying to compensate. His discovery that he's [[spoiler:descended from the Inakimo]] magnifies these fears.

!!Sky Fortress

[[folder:Veliche]]
The Captain of Sky Fortress. A serious woman who expects the very best from her crew.

[[folder:Nairin]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/CassandraLee Cassandra Lee Morris]] (English)

The tactical officer of Sky Fortress, and the Green Hoods faction leader.
----
* GenkiGirl: She's very cheerful and excitable when in her element.
* MissionControl: She serves as this during Green Hoods missions, and additionally alerts players to Sky Fortress boss appearances.

[[folder:Schatten]]
The intelligence expert of Sky Fortress, and the Dark Wind faction leader.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She flirts with the player regardless of gender, and also seems to have a thing for Nairin.
* AntiHero: She refers to some of her ''less'' questionable methods as "morally justifiable crime". Nonetheless, she's working for the good of Maple World and has the trust of Blackeye and Ereve.
* TheCracker: One of her specialties. Early on she enlists the player's help in hacking into a group of servers transmitting important data.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Her preferred method of extracting information, though she's currently forbidden from using it.
* MissionControl: She serves as this during Dark Wind missions.

[[folder:Condor]]
The vanguard captain of Sky Fortress, and the Imperial Vanguard faction leader.

* MiseryBuildsCharacter: He firmly believes this and laments that modern technology and culture have made the player soft.
* WhenIWasYourAge: Back in ''his'' day, soldiers had discipline and weren't too lazy to walk dozens of miles to get to their destination.

[[folder:Mason]]
The templar of Sky Fortress, and the Lumiknights faction leader.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: His chuuni tendencies make it very hard to take him seriously, but there's a good reason he was chosen to represent the Lumiknights.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: He loves telling stories about the dark powers, evil weapons, and unfortunate curses he totally, definitely has, usually using them as excuses for why he can't perform some task he's obviously capable of. Interestingly, he is a genuinely skilled magic user with some very impressive powers, just not the dark and edgy ones he claims to have.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Seems to be one for the Sky Fortress crew. Condor argues with him constantly, the player character insults him to his face, and if the faction message boards are anything to go by, not even his fellow Lumiknights want anything to do with him.

[[folder:Tristan]]
Former leader of the Royal Knights. For centuries, his family has fought the Crimson Balrogs.
[[/folder]]

!!Frontier Foundation
[[folder:Beatrice Allemani]]
A young heiress who was inspired to create the Frontier Foundation after the player saved her life in the Siege of Tria.

* IllGirl: She has a chronic illness that she receives treatment for in Tria.
* StalkerWithACrush: She's fallen for the player and insists that they are "hers". She never does anything too dangerous, but the player character is still very creeped out.

[[folder:Pemberton]]
Beatrice's devoted butler.

[[folder:Lanemone]]
A wizard who is eagerly researching the lapenshards.

* SpaceMaster: As a Psion, her specialty is spatial magic.

[[folder:Orde]]
A dragon-obsessed wizard whose expertise is called upon by the Foundation.

* {{Fangirl}}: Of dragons. She knows everything about them and geeks out at the slightest opportunity.
* HeroismIncentive: She initially refuses to help because of her aversion to field work. Beatrice has to bribe her with a very rare and expensive dragon figurine.

!Antagonists
[[folder:The Black Mage]]
The main villain of the game, ala the first game.

Tropes applying to his incarnation in the first game are [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/MapleStoryEnemies here.]]

* BigBad: Naturally.
* FallenHero: [[spoiler:It's all but stated that he is Cerian, the leader of the seven heroes. Though they don't do a good job of hiding it, seeing as he takes off his hood in the Priest's prologue.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Seems to be more pronounced here, seeing as he explicitly mentions trying to "save" the world in the opening of the Priest's story.
* WingedHumanoid: His design has wings now.

[[folder:Turka]]
One of the Black Mage's commanders, and the one the player runs into the most across the main story.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's polite and all, and also fully aware of what he's working for.
* TheDragon: Does the most out of any of the other commanders in the main story.
* TheGrimReaper: The scythe gives him this image.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Him giving Katvan a shadow seed directly sets off the chain of events that allows Eve to warn Ereve of the attack on Tria and prevent the city from falling.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He could be one to Arkarium, as TheDragon who seems to be the villain's right hand.

[[folder:Bella]]
A sorceress commonly seen with Madria. [[spoiler:Her full name is Bella Vid Bleim, and is the daughter of a member of Ereve's court.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Her father was never around, and she eventually stumbled down the path of evil.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Her name, appearance, and status as the Black Mage's loyal sorceress makes her one of Hilla.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: [[spoiler:She blames her father for abandoning his family for his job, despite the fact that he still loved them dearly.]]

[[folder:Madria]]
Bella's partner in crime.

%%* ElegantGothicLolita
* BareYourMidriff: In the Southeast Asian versions of the game, she wears a cape with no top underneath. The effect is that while her chest is covered, her entire stomach is on display. Her model remains untouched for now though.
* IllGirl: [[spoiler:In the very distant past, a deadly illness swept through her household and left her bedridden. She survived, but the rest of her family wasn't as lucky.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: She has a very childish manner of speaking and seems to view her massacres as a sort of game. When she's denied a chance to kill the player, she reacts like a child who's been asked to put her toys away.
* {{Stripperific}}: In the Southeast Asian versions of the game, she wears a cape with no top underneath, and extremely short, skintight shorts that almost look like underwear. The global release edited the shorts into a one-piece that covers her torso.

[[folder:Pathos]]
A dark entity that split off from Einos.

* EnemyWithout: He is the dark half of Einos. [[spoiler:When Einos, as Maple World's Innocent, chose the path of light, Pathos emerged as a separate being. Einos is the "true" Innocent, but Pathos can reverse the roles by taking control of the former's body.]]
