Shintetsu once promised this Fairy-type Beast to be the fiance of his son, and she is very excited about it (even if it turns out he had a daughter instead).

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* NobleDemon
* PlayingWithFire

* BlowYouAway

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter

* EyesAlwaysShut

* OneWingedAngel
* SealedEvilInACan: It's sealed in the labyrinth deep below the city of Wystern. [[spoiler: Sealing it away when it went berserk is what cost Shintetsu his life]].

* ChickMagnet

* GenkiGirl
* TransparentCloset

* ShockAndAwe

Shintetsu one promised this Fairy-type Beast to be the fiance of his son, and she is very excited about it (even if it turns out he had a daughter instead).

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To a degree, the player character is initially uncomfortable with her advances.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets upset nearly every time Cleru or Pratty talks to a woman. She's also jealous of Amariss for marrying Shintetsu, but she's polite enough to stay silent about the whole thing.
* MakingASplash

* DefrostingIceQueen: She progressively changes into a more typical {{Tsundere}}.
* GlassCannon: As opponent Sanary has a very powerful sword and if you manage to get the recipe for it you'll find out it has above average attack power, but it also decreases your defense.
* GoGoEnslavement: Sanary is victim of this at one point, being dressed up as a {{Meido}}. You can watch her serving some enemy soldiers (and secretly enjoying herself since the outfit is cute); and if you keep on observing rather than fighting the enemies right away, the post-battle banter will be hilarious.

* JackOfAllStats: Sanary is a very well rounded opponent. She isn't as brutish as Kenon, as fast as Razzy, or have the reach of Varil, but her versatility is what makes her a dangerous opponent. She has high attack and ''will'' try to use the range of her weapon as efficiently as she can and will not hesitate to use her Guardian Beast if you give her enough space.

* StoryBranchFavoritism: The game seems to favor her as the cannon love interest. [[FirstGirlWins She's the first person beside your summon creature that you can go for walks with]], and gets plenty of ShipTease towards the end of the game, reguardless of who you been on the most dates with. Additionally, the part where you choose to rescue either her or Razzy, gives Sanary a longer, better developed scene (the icon to select the scenario also starts on Sanary by default).

* InternalReformist: Just like Kenon, only since he's the son of Libody he has the authority to actually ''make'' some of the changes he wants to see; for example he convinced his father to stop the Gold Guild's practice of buying goods from rookies from other guilds and selling it as their own work. He's also ''furious'' to learn that the Gold Guild is selling weapons to Deiglya.

* RichJerk: Upon being defeated early in the game- "You're just jelious because I'm richer than you'll ever be!"

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Most characters call her a girl, but she seems to struggle with wanting to be a boy vs wanting to be more girly.
* GenkiGirl

* SweetPollyOliver
* WeaponOfChoice: Knuckles. She one that's quite powerful by that point in the game.

Twin sisters members of the Silver Guild fighting in the tournament. Hailed as the "beautiful twins" their good looks sadly do not extend to their personalities.

* DualBoss: Subverted. Ariel is your opponent and Mariel will act as her partner, essentially taking place of a Guardian Beast, to aid her with spells.

The former great Craftlord of Iron, and the father of Cleru/Pratty.

A Craftlord that respects Shintetsu, and is a dependable teacher to his son/daughter.

* ObviouslyEvil

* IllGirl: Rumari is cursed with a perpetual '[[SoapOperaDisease heat disease]]' and must while away the remainder of her days in a quiet little town.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female Craftlord following Rumari's retirement.

* BigBad: Though revealed later in the game

* SealedEvilInACan
