*TheGunslinger: Amber, who dual-wields a fictional Walther model, has a lot of feelings about her guns. When she finally picks them up again after being out of service for a while, she feels "electric". She uses her metal-magic to get a lot of mileage out of her guns—even doing things like having them orbit her like defense satellites.

*TheBabyOfTheBunch: Brand is only nineteen, making him the youngest member of Dragon Saffron. He's also the newest recruit. The others tend to make a point of teaching him how to do things, or correcting him on things.
*BadassCrew: The four fighting members of Dragon Saffron consider each other family, and it's for that reason they're willing to risk their lives and careers to get back at the guy who killed their friends a year before the events of the serial. Plus, each of them is a trained soldier with magical abilities. Kelly, notably, manages to get away with using a katana in modern combat.

**TheLancer: Brand fits this role, despite not being particularly experienced or seasoned, contrasts Kelly in several ways. They both wield swords (albeit differently), and Brand is charismatic and outgoing where Kelly is reserved and serious.
**TheSmartGuy: Amber serves this role on the team. Other characters, such as Yancy and Mr. Vinier, remark that she "thinks the most like a soldier" out of anyone on the team. She often serves as Kelly's tactical adviser in battles.
**TheBigGuy: Hana, who can create and manipulate fire, can clear a room pretty fast.
**TheChick: Madi, while no longer in active service due to her disability, is the most emotionally in-tune of the group. She constantly urges caution when the others want to go on their revenge quest against McTavish.
