8!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/FujikoTakimoto (Japanese), Snazin Smith (English)
9
10-->''"What a cinch."''
11
12The main protagonist of ''Grandia'' and a third-generation adventurer. Before his death, Justin's father left his son a treasured stone. Justin becomes convinced that the stone is a shard from the legendary Spirit Stone, which the Garlyle Forces is seeking. While meddling in a high-security excavation, Justin stumbles onto a hologram of a woman beckoning him to Alent, a mythical city of the long-dead Angelou civilization. He uses [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]], [[CarryABigStick maces]] and axes in battle.
13----
14* AccidentalPervert: Feena stops short in a crawlspace on the Ghost Ship, resulting in Justin [[SomeonesTouchingMyButt pawing at her butt]]. Oops. Later, when he and Sue come to see Feena at her house, Sue spots the latter's panties, and takes them to have a better look. Justin removes them from her hands, arguing she shouldn't take other people's stuff without their permission... and realizes too late he's actually holding one of Feena's underpants. Of course, Feena enters the house at that exact moment. Oops.
15* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: He starts getting a big head about reaching undiscovered lands and becoming both a great adventurer and hero near the end of disc 1, allowing the sirens to easily play to his ego to get him to help them and fall into their trap. Having to fight to escape and getting chewed out by Feena knock this out of him.
16* CarryABigStick: His third specialization. Helps him a lot, since maces increase his defensive capabilities.
17* ChasteHero: He's pretty slow on the uptake when Feena hits on him. Ironically, the only time Justin gets hot and bothered is when he sees Nana, Saki and Mio in their underwear.
18* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Justin has this habit, of which Feena disapproves a couple times.
19* {{Determinator}}: In the tradition of old-school [=JRPG=] protagonists. Game Arts intentionally went off in a different direction with ''II'''s Ryudo.
20* DisappearedDad: When Justin was still little, his dad met an untimely end during one of his adventures. The particulars of his death aren't revealed, since his body was never found.
21* ElementalWeapon: Justin has the largest array of ElementalWeapon special techniques in the game, being able to learn the Fire-imbued Lotus Cut, the Ice-imbued Ice Slash, the Lightning-imbued Thor Cut, and the Magma-imbued Dragon Cut.
22* GlacierWaif: He is the strongest and tankiest party member [[spoiler:in the final party]]. Does not look like a tank.
23* GogglesDoNothing: He has a pair of goggles on top of his hat, which have no function in the entire game.
24* HeroicBSOD: When Feena goes along with [[spoiler:Mullen's plan to sacrifice herself to stop Gaia]], Justin enters a brief period of self-doubt that's end up broken by his other allies.
25* HeroesPreferSwords: While he can use maces and axes, Justin's best weapon that only he can use is a sword.
26* ImprobableAge: He's a savior of the world by the end of the game, and he's just 14.
27* IncendiaryExponent: His Lotus Cut attack, which is a simple flaming slash.
28* InfinityPlusOneSword: Justin's final weapon, [[spoiler:the Spirit Sword, is also the most powerful weapon in the game.]]
29* JumpedAtTheCall: Didn't so much jump at it as somersault over it and land on the other side.
30* MagicKnight: Justin can learn all of the four types of magic, and specializes in the more offensive spells, giving him a nasty array of magical attacks.
31* MightyGlacier: Starts as one. He is not as slow as Gadwin though, and eventually progresses into a LightningBruiser, being faster than [[SquishyWizard Feena]], but slower than [[FragileSpeedster Rapp]].
32* ObliviousToLove: He gets it in the end, but it takes him a ridiculous amount of time to realize Feena's confessing to him and he's stupidly adorable about it.
33* OfficialCouple: With Feena, as shown in the DistantFinale. They've been [[BabiesEverAfter busy]].
34* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Him and Sue represent these colors.
35* PowerGlows: Many of his special moves ham him glwoing before being unleashed
36* RedIsHeroic: Red hair, and the hero of the story.
37* ShipTease: With Leen, in the Twin Towers.
38* SpectacularSpinning: Justin's Shockwave, Midair Cut, Lotus Cut, Ice Slash and Thor Cut. Spinning makes up half of Justin's special moveset.
39* StabTheSky: His victory pose. Some spells and special moves use it as well.
40* SwordPlant: Done during Dragon Cut and Heaven and Earth Cut special moves.
41* ThePollyanna: Most of the time [[spoiler:until his HeroicBSOD in Disc 2.]]
42* TheUnchosenOne: He wasn't destined to solve the Icarian legacy, he simply stumbled upon it.

45[[folder:Sue and Puffy]]
46[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sue_granda_8023.jpg]]
47!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KumikoNishihara (Japanese), Blaney R. Aikman (English)
48
49-->''"Pretty easy, right, Puffy?"''
50
51Sue is Justin's best friend from Old Parm. Orphaned as a baby, she lives with her aunt and uncle. She is always accompanied by Puffy, a gift from Justin's father who brought it from one of his adventures. Sue views herself as Justin's guardian, and resents being treated as a kid. Her weapons of choice are long-distance weapons (such as bows and boomerangs) and maces.
52----
53
54* CantCatchUp: Sue isn't a bad character, but being an eight year-old isn't something glossed over by the game. As a result, Sue is much more fragile than the other characters that will join your party (except maybe [[spoiler:Liete]]), her special moves are quickly overshadowed by Justin and Feena's, and she has an unique weakness: each time she is hit by an attack, Sue will be stunned for several seconds, unable to act, effectively reducing her next action turn and her overall battle performance.
55* ChildProdigy: Is unusually smart for an eight year-old. She occasionally provides good insight and actually uses words like "Tyrannical" in a sentence.
56* FastballSpecial: The Puffy Kick special move, which has her throwing her NonHumanSidekick Puffy at her enemies.
57* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: She's a lot more sensible than Justin
58* HeadPet: Puffy spends so much time up there that most people assume that he's a fancy ribbon.
59* ImprobableAge: Something of a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. While Sue demonstrates unusual intellect and combat skill for an eight year-old, her experience curve is much steeper than the other characters leading to their outstripping her as the story gets into full swing. Additionally, [[spoiler:the sheer stress and fatigue of the journey make Sue so ill that Justin and Feena force her to sit the rest of the adventure out not halfway through the story.]]
60* PinkMeansFeminine: She wears a pink dress, and despite acting mature, she is still a girly girl.
61* PomPomGirl: Her status buff move involves her and Puffy grabbing pom poms and cheering the team.
62* PrecociousCrush: Seems to have one on Justin, which makes her [[ShipperOnDeck clear support]] of him and Feena strange.
63* RuleOfFunny: Why her healing special move [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grandia_sue_and_puffy_cheer.jpg is cheerleading]].
64* SheIsAllGrownUp: In the DistantFinale.
65* ShooOutTheClowns: [[spoiler:She is forced to go back to her hometown because of exhaustion. Coincidentally, after she leaves and you reach the new continent, the game's story takes a much serious and darker turn]].
66* StatusBuff: Sue's Fight Cheer, which is a cheerleading dance that has the same effect as the WOW!-spell (attack buff).
67* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: You might think that an 8 year-old would be too young to stand the hardships of a world-spanning adventure. [[spoiler:[[PutOnABus You'd be 100% correct.]]]]
68* TagalongKid: This trope is deconstructed when Sue's health starts to falter. Dight's doctor insists that she return home at once, or else die of exhaustion.
69* TearfulSmile: [[spoiler: Wears this when she [[TearJerker leaves]].]]
70* TryingNotToCry: [[spoiler: Wants her last moments with Justin and Feena to be happy ones, so she plans to hold it in and cry by herself once she [[PutOnABus gets home]]. Feena sees right through it.]]
71* YouthfulFreckles: She has a few around her nose.
72[[/folder]]
73
74[[folder:Feena]]
75[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/feena_grandia_8767.jpg]]
76!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/NorikoHidaka (Japanese), Angela Anderson (English)
77
78-->''"Ha, ha ha, pretty easy!"''
79
80An adventurer whom Justin and Sue meet during their trip to New Parm. Unlike Justin, she is very accomplished and something of a local celebrity. Feena wields knives and whips.
81----
82* ActionGirl: Feena is one when you meet her on your trip to New Parm. She's also on equal ground with Justin as a melee fighter and has fire magic to boot! She undergoes some {{Chickification}} by mid CD 2, but recovers towards the [[FinalBattle End Game]], although she is surpassed as a melee fighter and her attributes grow towards magic, making her the second-best mage in the game, maybe the best if you count her plot related spells.
83* ChainmailBikini: Perhaps justified due to hailing from New Parm, an equatorial retreat.
84* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the Nintendo Switch Remake, at least. Checking Feena's "Moves" screen after purchasing multiple magical elements will reveal a number of spells with no magic level requirements, only a ???. [[spoiler:These spells are unlocked once Feena's Icarian heritage is awakened and she sprouts her wings, hinting that she has greater magical prowess.]]
85* ElementalWeapon: She has two special attacks she can learn which both involve charging her whip with elemental energy; Flame Whip and Zap Whip. The former requires levels in Whip and Fire, the latter requires levels in Whip, Fire and Wind.
86* ImprobableAge: At 15, only a year older than Justin.
87* IncendiaryExponent: The Flame Whip move is one of Feena's two ElementalWeapon techniques; an area-affecting ranged technique that requires high levels in Whip and Fire. When she uses it, she ignites her whip and then spins it around, creating a wave of flames that washes over targets.
88-->Now I'm ''really'' mad!
89%%* InfinityPlusOneSword: Whip of Light.
90* LastDiscMagic: The unsealing of her [[spoiler:Icarian wings]] grants her additional magic, but only in the latter part of Disc 2. One of these spells, Time Gate, is such a GameBreaker that Feena needs to be at Lv. '''99''' magic to use it. (This is actually a [[https://grandia.fandom.com/wiki/Time_Gate programming error]] and is fixed in the Nintendo Switch version of the game.)
91* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:She's the last Icarian togethr with her sister Leen]].
92* OfficialCouple: With Justin, as shown in the DistantFinale. They've been busy.
93* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:Her Icarian wings manifest themselves whenever she uses her high level special moves]].
94* ShipTease: With Mullen in the Twin Towers, and with Justin throughout the game.
95* {{Stripperific}}: Feena's BattleBikini. One piece of official art even gives us ''booty cleavage''.
96* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: After Pakon gives her the choice between marrying him and keeping her adventuring licence, after already attempting to force her into a relationship, Feena willingly turns in her card and runs off with Justin.
97* WeaponSpecialization: Feena's weapons of choice are knives and whips. She is notably the only character in the game who uses whips. She has three special techniques she can use when armed with a Whip; Paralyze Whip, which has a chance to paralyze a single target, and two ElementalWeapon techniques -- the multi-target-hitting Flame Whip, and the single target Zap Whip.
98* WhiteMagicianGirl: Downplayed. Feena can learn all of the Magic elements, and she does gain multiple offensive spells by doing so. However, her spell list is more focused towards the defensive and curative than Justin. In particular, whilst they can both learn the Water spell "Alhealer +", the most powerful healing spell in the game, for Justin it's a Level 3 spell, meaning he can't cast it very often, whilst Feena learns it as a Level 2 spell, allowing her to use it much more frequently.

100
101[[folder:Gadwin]]
102[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gadwin_grandia_2451.jpg]]
103!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/RokuroNaya (Japanese)
104
105-->''"You're no match for me."''
106
107The "Knight of Dight", Gadwin is a master swordsman who runs into our Heroes on the other side of "The End of the World". Gallant and courageous to a fault, he takes it upon himself to educate Justin in the ways of a knight.
108----
109* {{BFS}}: His sword "Himmler".
110* CrutchCharacter: When you first reach the Lands Beyond the Wall, you'll probably be somewhere around level 10-15, depending on how you've been grinding. Gadwin starts at level '''30''', bitches. Combined with his powerful spellls and techniques, and he will probably become the centerpiece of your party whilst he's in it.
111* DuelBoss: Justin has to duel with him twice, first as a HopelessBossFight and later as proper boss fight.
112* ElementalPowers: Gadwin is restricted to using [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]] and [[MagmaMan explosion]] type skills.
113* {{Flanderization}}: While he's in your party, he is a mature [[OlderAndWiser mentor]] figure. When he [[TheBusCameBack returns]] for the finale, he is obsessed with strength and challenging opponents.
114* MightyGlacier: Powerful, but slow.
115* MistakenForMurderer: Justin's first duel against him stems from the fact his friends are missing and that he mistakes Gadwin for a cannibal who is going to eat them.
116* SwordPlant: The crux of unleashing the power of his Dragon King Slice move, which is later adopted by Justin.
117[[/folder]]
118
119[[folder:Rapp]]
120[[quoteright:242:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rapp_grandia_1287.jpg]]
121!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KappeiYamaguchi (Japanese), John W. (English)
122
123-->''"Come back with reinforcements!"''
124
125A humanoid whom Justin and Feena meet once crossing the ocean. He is at first suspicious of them, but they quickly gain his trust. Rapp is extremely arrogant, but this attitude masks his troubled life as an orphan.
126----
127* CatchPhrase: He says "Take that!" in many of his attacks.
128* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: His parents were petrified by [[BigBad Gaia]]. He still has his grandpa alive, though.
129* FlashStep
130* FragileSpeedster: He is very fast.
131* GlassCannon: Hits every bit as hard as Justin does, but lacks a bit in the defensive areas, especially since he starts with much lower levels than your other characters.
132* InfinityPlusOneSword: Evil Shuriken.
133* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] He is quite pissed at heroes for trespassing at his area, however this is a minor case of PoorCommunicationKills and is quickly resolved. Past his arrogance is a pretty nice person. Also [[JustifiedTrope justified]] because of his status as an orphan.
134* NeverSayDie: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. He has no problem threatening someone's life.
135-->"Take that, I'll kill ya!"
136* OddFriendship: Forms one with Milda, whom his people [[FantasticRacism hate]].
137* OneHitKill: Can learn Death Sword and that makes him a borderline GameBreaker since this skill kills any regular Mook [[UselessUsefulSpell without]] [[AvertedTrope fail]].
138* PlayingWithFire: Starts with fire magic, plus has at least one special move that uses fire, as well.
139* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed.]] His desire to defy old and obstructive laws of his village by granting his friends access to the village and leaving the Gaia Sprout with the elder created a path for Garlyle Forces to bruteforce their way in (since the security was more lax than usual) and retrieve the Sprout. After that, Justin, Feena and Milda are promptly given the boot and the village completely closes its doors. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Way to go, Rapp.]]
140* SmallTownBoredom: His reason to continue travelling after the [[EvilTowerOfOminousness Tower of Doom]] incident.
141* ThrowDownTheBomblet: His 2 universal specials: [[StuffBlowingUp Demon Ball]] and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Neo Demon Ball]].
142[[/folder]]
143
144[[folder:Milda]]
145[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milda_grandia_9377.jpg]]
146!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/ChikaSakamoto (Japanese), Sharon Coleman (English)
147
148-->''"No problem. Whoo!"''
149
150A Lainian whom the heroes meet while attempting to destroy the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Tower of Doom]]. They start out on bad terms, but that changes quickly.
151----
152* AmazonianBeauty: At only 19 years old, she ''towers'' over the rest of the cast, is strong enough to smash tanks and cause earthquakes with her bare hands, and is still a gorgeous woman despite being visibly quite muscular. Don't be fooled by her tough exterior though; she's actually a pretty sweet woman.
153* BadassNormal: She's one of two characters that can't learn magic. She doesn't need it.
154* CrutchCharacter: Not as much as Gadwin, but she's still a good ten to fifteen levels higher than the rest of your party.
155* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When you first meet her, she's torn the setting apart, and she immediately beats the crap out of Rapp, then turns to advance on Justin and Feena like an animal. [[AxCrazy Character]] established. However, this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in that, after you get over your initial differences, she turns out to be a sweet woman.
156* HappilyMarried: With Darlin.
157* OddFriendship: Forms one with Rapp, even though [[FantasticRacism his race mostly hates hers.]]
158* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: As a Lainian, Milda is actually what the ''Grandia'' world would consider a minotaur. It's just that as a ''female'' Lainian, Milda [[SexyDimorphism doesn't really look cow-like at all outside of her ears]].
159* SexyDimorphism: In her species, males look like anthropomorphic bulls and females look like humans with PointyEars -- you know, elves.
160* SickeninglySweethearts: With her "sweetheart, honeybunch" man, who is at least partially cow. If it weren't so hilarious, it'd be disturbing.
161* YoungerThanTheyLook: Admonishes Nicky for calling her "Auntie Milda", telling him she's only 19.
162[[/folder]]
163
164[[folder:Guido]]
165[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/guido_granda_5337.jpg]]
166!!!'''Voiced by''': Yoshiko Kamei (Japanese), Scott Beers (English)
167
168-->''"Piece-a-cake!"''
169
170Guido is one of the Mogay, a bunny-like merchant race from Zil Padon. He is met a few times throughout the game and later he joins the party temporarily.
171----
172* ActuallyIAmHim: [[spoiler:He's the Elder of Zil Padon. [[OlderThanTheyLook Yes.]] It makes his spiel about making Justin prove his worth to meet the Elder a lot more entertaining.]]
173* FunetikAksent: Guy could give [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] a run for his money in the gratuitous italian accent department.
174* RecurringTraveller: You meet him two times on your travels before he temporarily joins you.
175* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Snaps Justin out of his HeroicBSOD
176[[/folder]]
177
178[[folder:Liete]]
179[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/liete_grandia_4107.jpg]]
180!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/KikukoInoue (Japanese), Sharon Coleman (English)
181
182->''"That was an easy victory."''
183
184The very person who sent Justin to his quest in the first place. Originally just a spectator with a streak for fatality, our heroes convince her to join them and change her own fate.
185----
186* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[spoiler:As expected of someone who had lived alone for all her life, Liete acts somewhat... airheaded from time to time.]]
187* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:Joins the party just before the final dungeon, taking Guido's place.]]
188* LegacyCharacter: Turns out that Liete is the name given to the one in charge of Alent, acting as TheWatcher for the world. There's been dozens of Lietes before her, who each recorded their memories onto sacred tablets before passing down the title to their successor.
189* MesACrowd: The shrine of Alent is shown to be full of magical clones of her, running the facility in lieu of actual people. Though they're not "true" copies, operating more like machines and barely even pretending to be human.
190* MysteriousWaif: Meeting her is what send Justin and Sue on their quest into the uncharted territories.
191[[/folder]]
192
193!!Garlyle Forces
194[[folder:General Baal]]
195!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto (Japanese), Scott Beers (English)
196[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baal_grandia_9116.jpg]]
197
198Leader of the Garlyle Forces, who wants the Spirit Stone for unknown reasons.
199----
200* BadassCape: [[spoiler:Which covers the [[CombatTentacles tendrils]] given to him by Gaia's influence, that are somehow taller than even him when revealed]].
201* BodyHorror: At some point in the past, Baal [[spoiler:came into contact with Gaia, which corrupted his body. When you face him for the final time, he's completely degenerated into a monster]].
202* TheCoatsAreOff: Baal unveils his mutated arm during your second fight.
203* DemonicPossession: At first he's just DrunkOnTheDarkSide, but once he starts referring to Gaia in first person, things quickly get a ''lot'' worse for our heroes.
204* DuelBoss: Justin has to duel him on top of his exploding aircraft.
205* EvilLaugh: Unleashed after he reveals his plans.
206* EvilMakesYouUgly: Liete claims that Baal's greed made him susceptible to Gaia's corruption.
207* EyepatchOfPower: A futuristic cyber-patch.
208* TheHeavy: See InsaneAdmiral below.
209* InsaneAdmiral: He devotes his entire forces to finding the Spirit Stone. None of his subordinates really fathom what they're doing (he apparently promised them world peace was their main goal), plundering ruins and covering it up for the sake of doing it.
210* LargeHam
211-->[[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMQ0ZgbmGKw ''"LOOK! This is the FORM of your NEW GOD!''"]]]]
212** Even more so by Norio Wakamoto.
213* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Baal" is a name of deitific origin.
214* NoOneCouldHaveSurvivedThat: Justin thinks he perished in the explosion of his airship. Baal later turns up again in Gaia's cradle, looking no worse for wear.
215* PleaseKeepYourHatOn: The cloak isn't a fashion statement; Baal's been mutating for quite some time, and is concealing writhing tentacles beneath it.
216* PowerCorrupts
217* RecurringBoss: He is fought three times over the course of the game.
218* WalkingShirtlessScene: [[spoiler:After Gaia completely overwhelms him and he mutates into a monster, he discards his shirt.]]
219* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Once Justin decides to surrender the Spirit Stone to him, he immediately opens a pit underneath him to drop him off the Grandeur.

225Son of Baal, Mullen helps his father to seek out the Spirit Stones.
226----
227* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Like father, like son.
228* BenevolentBoss: Unlike Nana, Saki, and Mio, he is considerate to those under his command. He is very popular among the ranks of Garlyle, which comes in handy later.
229* ColonelBadass: He lives for the Army, most soldiers will tell you in awe how he rose through the ranks quickly despite his young age and mention their loyalty towards him AND he is strong enough to defeat Gadwin - an established, powerfull warrior - in a single attack.
230* DuelBoss: Justin has to fight him by himself.
231* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:His mother was a demi-human the army refers to as "humanoids".]]
232* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After finding out Baal was in search of the Spirit Stones to awaken Gaia and obtain personal power rather than attain world peace, he immediately rallies nearly all of Garlyle into a mutiny. It's alas a bit late by that point, but his forces do help save a number of people.]]
233* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:He is willing to let his love, Leen, sacrifice herself to stop the end of the world. When Leen sees that her sister, Feena, has a power to stop it without anyone dying, Mullen says they are to go through with the original plan anyway.]]
234* WorthyOpponent: He develops respect for Justin and Sue when they successfully manage to defeat the Rock Bird.

243* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She sacrifices herself to stop Gaia. After Gaia is defeated proper by Justin an company, [[DisneyDeath she somehow returns back to life]]]].
244* ImprobableAge: According to official texts, she's, unbelievably, 15.
245* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:She is on of the last two Icarians together with her sister Feena]].
246* ReiAyanamiExpy: Might be the first one.

257
258{{Recurring Boss}}es at the Garlyle Forces' service. They all have a crush on Col. Mullen.
259----
260* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Nana's the beauty, Saki's the brawn, and Mio's the brains.
261* CombinationAttack: When paired up together, they have access to a devastating collaboration technique.
262* CorruptedCharacterCopy: They are villainous versions of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth's'' main characters: Hikaru, Umi and Fuu.
263* DrillSergeantNasty: In their introductory scene, the girls compete to determine which one of them is the biggest sadist toward their troops.
264* EstablishingCharacterMoment: As soon as Justin and Sue show them the curator's letter to prove that they're not simply parading around the Sult Ruins uninvited, they immediately rip it to pieces and toss it down a pit.
265%%* FieryRedHead: Saki
266%%* ImprobableAge
267* ImprobableWeapon: Each has at least one special attack involving this. Saki uses a slapstick fan, Nana a yo-yo with a inbuilt chainsaw, and Mio uses balloons (albeit ones filled with nerve gas).
268%%* PraetorianGuard
269* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Those three are basically what would have happened if [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Hikaru, Umi and Fuu]] had joined [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket]].
270* TerribleTrio: The three are rarely seen apart.
271* UndyingLoyalty: To Herr Mullen!

274!!Others
275
276[[folder:Lily]]
277Justin's mother, who runs the Seagull Restaurant in Parm.
278----
279* AbusiveParents: Zig-zagged. She hits Justin over the head with a tray quite often, but is otherwise pretty normal and what you'd think a cool single mom would be like.
280* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Was named 'Lily the Skull' in her hey-day and was considered a beauty.
281[[/folder]]
282
283[[folder:Java]]
284A retired explorer who gives Justin his steamer pass to the new world.
285----
286* MeaningfulName: His name is Java and he frequents a coffee bar.
287* WouldHurtAChild: Thinks nothing of sending two children into an unstable mine infested with monsters to prove their mettle. To his credit, he does go after and rescue them from an earthquake, but then scolds Justin and Sue for not having an escape plan.

290[[folder:Pakon]]
291[[quoteright:126:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grandia_pakon_crying.gif]]
292 [[caption-width-right:126:]]
293The head of the Adventurer's Society at New Parm. Inherited the position from his father, Mr. Gauss. He's utterly infatuated with Feena, and won't take her adamant refusal for an answer.
294----
295* AbhorrentAdmirer: He's obsessed with Feena, who can't stand him (for obvious reasons).
296* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Tries to wed a kidnapped, bound and gagged Feena, though Justin and Sue arrive in time to stop it.
297* TheDreaded: When he kidnaps Feena to wed her, the citizens of New Parm either are willing to ignore the legality for the sake of a good party, or would rather fake an injury to avoid having his Society cut their funding.
298* EntitledToHaveYou: Threatens to take away Feena's Adventuring licence if she doesn't marry him, and then kidnaps her when she claims she's already Justin's girlfriend.
299* {{Jerkass}}: Just a complete and utter prat. If he wasn't such an obvious loser, he'd probably qualify as a HateSink.
300* NoseNuggets: Even when he's not crying, his conversation portrait always has a trail of snot long enough to reach his mouth.
301* OcularGushers: Tears and snot shoot out of his face when he doesn't get his way.
302* PointyHairedBoss: He's turned the guild into a Feena fanclub in all but name, and uses his position of power to get his way.
303* PropagandaPiece: The New Parm theater, funded by the Society, is always putting on a play of "Feena" pining after the heroic "Pakon".
304* SketchySuccessor: He's nothing like his father, who was an old friend of Justin's parents, and was strong enough to fight his own battles.
305* TheUnfought: Instead of fighting you directly, he calls on his bodyguard, Mr. Chang.
306* VillainousHarlequin: His outfit of choice is evocative of this, with a large frilled collar and puffy pants.
307[[/folder]]
308
309[[folder:Gaia]]
310The ultimate villain of the story. Born from a corrupted Spirit Stone that humans attempted to use without the power of the Icarians, Gaia was the one responsible for wiping out the Angelou civilization. After being awakened by General Baal, it threatens to do so for the rest of the world.
311----
312* BigBad: It destroyed the Angelou civilization, now it's coming for the rest.
313* EldritchAbomination: Especially its final form you fight.
314* FlunkyBoss: First form of the final boss fight against it has it being accompanied ten or so mooks.
315* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: What it ultimately believes. Humans were greedy enough to cause its creation, thus they were clearly asking for total annihilation.
316* WhenTreesAttack: Gaia is some sort bug-tree hybrid.
