    Coud "Cou" Van Giruet 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coud_van_giruet.png

Voiced by: Naozumi Takahashi [Drama CD], Akira Ishida [Anime] (Japanese), Kristian Ayre (English)

A young member of the Red Lynx sky pirates. He finds Ren in a coffin and becomes her Pledger, someone who bonds with a Edel Raid and he promises her that he will be the one to escort her to Edel Garden.


  • Accidental Pervert: He has a few of these moments, such as when he bursts into the girl's bathroom to save Ren from drowning and ends up falling on top of a naked Cisqua.
  • Always Save the Girl: His main priority is to protect Ren at all costs.
  • Bodyguard Crush: He assigns himself as Ren's personal bodyguard in her journey to Edel Garden, although it's more of an excuse to hang around the girl he likes.
  • The Champion: Everything Cou does is for the sake of protecting Ren and taking her to Edel Garden safely.
  • Cooldown Hug: In the final volume, he undoes his reaction with Ren to give her a hug and stop her Roaring Rampage of Revenge over what the people of Edel Garden did to poor Cia.
  • Declaration of Protection: He promises to protect Ren many times.
  • The Defroster: The aloof Ren gradually opens up because of Cou's kindness towards her.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: At the beginning of the story, Cou admits he never had anything specific he wanted to do. By meeting Ren, he instantly decided his goal is protecting her. At the end of the manga, he talks to Ren about how his journey together with her helped him find his own dream of forming his own crew of sky pirates with all the True Companions they gained.
  • Disney Death: In the final episodes of the anime, Cou is killed during the battle against the three leaders of Chaos Choir. Soon enough, Eve uses the last of her strength to revive Cou.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: He can be very easily Lured into a Trap by cute girls in Playboy Bunny costumes.
  • Drives Like Crazy: He's an infamously terrible pilot and driver and frightens everyone whenever he has to control any sort of mechanized vehicle. He improves later, at least to the point of not crashing as often.
  • The Dulcinea Effect: From the moment he meets Ren, he immediately wants to dedicate himself to protecting her and helping her journey to Edel Garden. This is because he has never interacted with girls before and thinks it's his duty as a man to take care of cute girls like Ren.
  • Everyone Can See It: His crush on Ren isn't subtle at all. His friends had noticed long before he admitted it.
  • Happily Adopted: He was found and adopted by the Boss of the Red Lynx sky pirates, which he greatly appreciates.
  • Has a Type: He prefers docile and gentle girls who need his protection like Ren.
  • The Hero: He's the protagonist and main hero of the series.
  • Hot-Blooded: Particularly when it comes to protecting Ren, he can get heated up.
  • The Illegal: He's forced to become an illegal immigrant after the group travels to another continent and Cou is the only one who doesn't have an ID.
  • In-Series Nickname: His name is Coud, but gets called "Cou" for short.
  • Love at First Sight: The moment he first sees Ren, Cou thinks she's very cute and immediately wants to protect her.
  • Love Confessor:
    • In Chapter 62, Cou admits to Cisqua, Rowen and Kuea that he is in love with Ren. None of them is surprised.
    • In Episode 20 of the anime, Viro makes him tell her he is in love with Ren so she can have some closure on her unrequited love for him. Unbeknownst to both of them, Ren was hiding nearby to hear it.
  • Magic Contract Romance: Ren chooses him as her Pledger so she transforms into a weapon for him to fight with. Cou always thinks of Ren as a normal girl instead of a weapon and this leads to them falling in love.
  • Mayfly–December Romance: Since Edel Raids have a longer lifespan than humans, Ren will surely outlive him.
  • Nice Guy: He's a good and kind-hearted guy always ready to help those in need.
  • Parental Abandonment: He never knew his parents.
  • Raised by Dudes: Since he was raised in a male-only environment with his sky pirate gang, Cou is often embarrassed and naive when it comes to dealing with girls.
  • Red Is Heroic: He's The Hero and the clothes he wears are primarily red.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's the emotional and loud Red Oni to Ren's emotionless and quiet Blue Oni. Even his clothes are red to contrast Ren's blue hair.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Manly Man to Rowen's Sensitive Guy. While not exactly macho, being raised by pirates has made Cou lacking in delicacy and social awareness while Rowen is more polite and well-adjusted.
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend: He gets flustered and denies it when he's asked if Ren is his girlfriend, even though he clearly wants that to be true.
  • Shonen Hair: He has the spiky hair typical of a shonen lead.
  • Sky Pirate: He was raised as a member of a pirate crew that travels through the sky with airships instead of the ocean.
  • Street Urchin: Before he was taken in by the Red Lynx, he was an orphan living on the streets and needed to steal food in order to survive.
  • Uncertain Doom: In the final chapter of the manga, Cou disappears after he and Ren fail to escape Edel Garden before it collapses. Later on, Cisqua receives a video from Vargret that shows what appears to be Cou wielding Ren.

    Reverie "Ren" Metherlence 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reverie_metherlence.png

Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima [Drama CD], Mikako Takahashi [Anime] (Japanese), Brenna O'Brien (English)

An Edel Raid found by Cou in a coffin that was picked up as loot in a raid of the Red Lynx sky pirates. Ren is one of the Seven Glittering Jewels (or Shichikouhouju), an Edel Raid line said to be the strongest. She and Cou become partners after she reacts to him. Her goal is to go to the Edel Garden. She recharges her powers by sleeping, which happens fairly often. Her elemental gelade is on her hair above her forehead. Her elemental power is wind. Her weapon form is a giant sword on Cou's right arm.


  • All of the Other Reindeer: The Edel Raids of her hometown ostracized her for being a Shichikouhouju, which they viewed as an ill omen because of how many people seek her power. The children followed the example of their parents and bullied Ren mercilessly. The only one who treated her kindly was her Cool Big Sis Cia.
  • Beautiful Dreamer: When Cou finds her in a coffin, the first thing he does is to think how cute her sleeping face is (although he initially mistook her for a doll).
  • Because You Were Nice to Me:
    • She chooses Cou as her Pledger because he was the first human she ever met who treated her with kindness instead of seeking to use or seal her.
    • When she was a child, she grew attached to Cia because she was the only Edel Raid in their village who treated Ren kindly regardless of her status as a Shichikouhouju.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Because of how demure and silent she normally is, seeing her going into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after she's forced to kill Cia is scary.
  • BFS: Her weapon form is a giant sword.
  • Blow You Away: As an Edel Raid with wind attribute, she commands the element of wind, both offensively and defensively.
  • Brutal Honesty: She has a habit of telling people whatever she thinks of them very bluntly.
  • Bullied into Depression: When she was a child, being bullied by other young Edel Raids made Ren very depressed and lonely, causing her to hate and hurt herself until Cia motivated her to stand up to her bullies.
  • Bully Magnet: In her childhood shown in the manga, Ren was a victim of severe bullying from other young Edel Raids at her hometown because they believed her being a Shichikouhouju would bring misfortune to the village.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: In the anime, she gives Cou the cold shoulder when she sees him getting along with Viro.
  • The Comically Serious: She keeps her deadpan expression even in the most comical and absurd situations.
  • Damsel in Distress: She's frequently rendered helpless and/or kidnapped and needs Cou to rescue her.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: She starts as an Emotionless Girl who hates Cou because he's a human, but she warms up to him as she falls in love with him.
  • Does Not Like Spam: She can't stand the taste of sweet food.
  • Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: Ren always has a half-lidded expression because of her aloof personality as well as the use of her powers making her constantly sleepy.
  • Elemental Barrier: She's able to create a wind barrier to defend Cou and deflect enemy attacks.
  • Elemental Eye Colors: She's a wind-type Edel Raid and has green eyes.
  • Emotionless Girl: At the start of the series, she's extremely cold and doesn't display any strong emotion which makes her come off as mysterious and unsettling. She later starts to show more emotions thanks to Cou.
  • Equippable Ally: She's an Edel Raid, girls who can bind their soul with their Pledger and turn into a weapon.
  • First Girl Wins: From the moment she meets Cou in the first chapter/episode, them eventually becoming the Official Couple is set in stone.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: She spent 500 years in a forced slumber. She doesn't know about many things of the modern world, such as airships.
  • Friendless Background: In her backstory from the manga, Ren wasn't able to make friends in her hometown because most Edel Raids living there saw her presence as a bad omen because she's a Shichikouhouju. Cia was her Only Friend, until Cia left the village to go to Edel Garden with Keith.
  • Green-Eyed Epiphany: In the anime, she comes to realize her feelings for Cou when she starts feeling jealous of Viro's romantic advances towards him.
  • In the Hood: When she was a child, she wore a hood over her head to hide her elemental gelade until Cia gave her a hair ribbon because it was cuter.
  • It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Ren eventually comes to feel very guilty over how many times Cou has nearly gotten hurt and almost killed because of being her Pledger. It even goes to the point she wants to break their contract so Cou can be safe.
  • It Was a Gift: Ren treasures her hair ribbon because it was a gift from her Cool Big Sis Cia.
  • Kids Hate Vegetables: When she was a child, her caretaker Griina tried to force her to eat vegetables by cooking nothing but carrots and onions every day. Ren still hates carrots and onions to this day, although she hates sweets even more.
  • Kill the Ones You Love: Towards the end of the manga, Ren and Cou have to kill Cia, Ren's dear older sister figure, who was driven mad by the experiments and abuse of her human husband Keith. This almost pushes Ren over the Despair Event Horizon until Cou talks sense into her.
  • Last of Her Kind: She's the last direct descendant of the Metherlence bloodline and the last known Shichikouhouju.
  • Light 'em Up: She can cast Isolate Luminous, a technique that uses light to blind the enemy.
  • The Load: Her sole function in the team is turning into Cou's weapon, but she can't fight on her own, constantly needs to be protected by her teammates and Cou often has to carry her on his back because transforming exhausts her energy.
  • Love Informant: When she was a child, she casually told Keith that Cia liked him and didn't understand why Cia was so embarrassed about it.
  • MacGuffin Super-Person: Her status as the Shichikouhouju makes her a valuable weapon sought after by many.
  • Magic Contract Romance: Ren is part of a race of magical girls with the ability to turn into weapons. She falls in love with Cou, the Pledger who wields her.
  • Magical Girlfriend: A beautiful young girl who can turn into a legendary weapon and was waken up from her long sleep by Cou. She then changes his life forever by forming a contract with him and has him accompany her in her journey to the Edel Garden.
  • Mayfly–December Romance: Ren will surely outlive Cou because of her longer lifespan as an Edel Raid.
  • Moses in the Bulrushes: A man brought her to the Arc Voure village of Edel Raids when she was a baby and Griina raised her at the man's dying request.
  • Mystical Waif: She's a Shichikouhouju, one of the most powerful and legendary Edel Raids. Of course this means that everyone wants their hands on her. She's frequently rendered helpless and constantly protected by the main character. Personality-wise, she fits the mysterious and distant part.
  • Never Bareheaded: Ren wears a ribbon around her head which she very rarely takes off, not even when taking a bath.
  • Never Got to Say Goodbye: When she was a child, she got into an argument with her caretaker Griina and ran away from their home. Ren doesn't meet Griina again until she's giving out her last breath. Afterwards, Ren admits to Cou that she would have liked to apologize to Griina and make up with her.
  • Odd Name, Normal Nickname: She asks to be called Ren, which is short for Reverie.
  • An Odd Place to Sleep: When she gets tired, she falls asleep on Cou's back or anywhere she drops even in the middle of a snowstorm.
  • Phlebotinum Girl: Female love interest with non-human origins and special powers that make other characters seek to possess her, which initially depresses her and makes her detest humans. She's also physically frail and frequently weakened by the use of her abilities.
  • Plucky Girl: Despite being so quiet and passive at first glance, Ren is surprisingly brave and strong-willed about her goal to reach Edel Garden.
  • Protectorate: Coud is determined to protect Ren, no matter what it takes.
  • The Quiet One: She isn't the most talkative person around.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the emotionless and quiet Blue Oni to Cou's emotional and loud Red Oni. She even has blue hair to contrast Cou's red clothes.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: Ren is a blue-haired and pale-skinned Emotionless Girl who isn't really human, serves as the love interest of the protagonist and possesses very rare powers. As expected of the archetype, she eventually reveals a Sugar-and-Ice Personality as she opens up to the protagonist. Even her In-Series Nickname Ren sounds similar to Rei.
  • Rip Van Winkle: She was put in a deep slumber 500 years prior to the start of the series. She woke up when Cou opened the coffin she was sleeping in.
  • Samaritan Relationship Starter: She at first hates Cou as she does with any other human, but after he defends her when Cisqua tries to buy her from the pirates and then protects her from some kidnappers, she begins to think he's not a bad person and reacts to him.
  • Sealed Good in a Can: Because of her immense power, she was sealed inside a coffin for 500 years until Cou unintentionally released her.
  • Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Demure and quiet, as expected from a blue-haired girl.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: At the end of the anime, Ren changes her iconic dark blue dress for a top and skirt of brighter colors. It symbolizes the changes in her personality and life, having become Cou's girlfriend and a member of the Red Lynx sky pirates.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Cou wins Ren's heart because he's a kind-hearted and protective guy who truly cares about her as a person, not a mere weapon.
  • Sleepyhead: Justified. She recharges her powers by sleeping, so she spends most of her time nodding off.
  • The Stoic: She has the same cold, melancholic look in her face nearly all the time.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Ren is very kind-hearted and gentle girl, but she's also very cold and reserved to anyone she has just met because of her distrust towards humans. It's hard for her to show her warmer side to anyone but Cou.
  • The Three Faces of Eve: The Wife. Ren is the most gentle, reserved and sensible of the main female trio.
  • Through His Stomach: She learns to bake cookies even though she hates sweet food because she wants Cou to eat them.
  • Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Starts out as an Emotionless Girl, but begins to show more emotion as the series goes on. By the end of the anime, she's much more expressive and smiles more.
  • Town Girls: The Femme. Ren is the most feminine, well-dressed and frail of the three main girls.
  • Tragic Bigot: Ren initially hates and distrusts humans except for Cou because the first humans she ever saw tried to kidnap her and other Edel Raids from her village.
  • True Blue Femininity: Her hair, head ribbon and clothes are all blue. She's also the most delicate and traditionally feminine girl in the main cast.
  • Uncertain Doom: In the final chapter of the manga, Ren apparently falls to her death after confessing her love for Cou and letting go of his hand. Some time later, Vargret sends Cisqua a video that implies Ren is still alive and together with Cou.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Despite Griina giving her a warning, Ren goes to Edel Garden to meet with her big sister figure Cia who went to live there with her human husband. Ren didn't know Cia was turned into a murderously insane Living Weapon by the experiments of her husband. When Ren finds Cia in her prison and awakes her from her sleep, Cia goes into a murder spree and also tries to kill Ren and Cou to absorb their power. Cou and Ren are forced to kill Cia to put an end to her rampage.

    Cisqua 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cisqua.png

Voiced by: Ikue Otani [Drama CD], Nana Mizuki [Anime] (Japanese), Alexandra Carter (English)

The energetic and upbeat leader of one of Arc Aile's Edel Raid Complete Protection Association squads consisting of Rowen and Kuea. She is honest and passionate about her work, but only because of her desire to be promoted and her love for money. She is not an Edel Raid Pledger, but she is well versed in martial arts and gunmanship.


  • Action Girl: She's the only girl in the main group who isn't an Edel Raid, but this also makes her the strongest one since she wields weapons instead of turning into one. Even taking her on in a hand-to-hand combat is a bad idea.
  • A-Cup Angst: She gets pissed if someone makes fun of her small cup size.
  • Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: She takes great offense when Cou and Lonble say seeing her undressed makes no difference to them.
  • Badass Adorable: She looks like a cute young girl, yet she can kick your ass with her firearms and missiles.
  • Badass Normal: She's an ordinary human girl without an Edel Raid partner. It's still a terrible idea to mess with her because an Edel Raid could be less destructive than her guns and missiles.
  • The Big Girl: Despite her small size and not being a Pledger, Cisqua is the powerhouse of the main group. Her menacing weapons and formidable physical strength allow her to evenly fight Edel Raid wielders without issue.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Short hair for a tomboyish and destructive gunwoman.
  • Cute and Psycho: She's affable and smiling adorably most of the time, but she also flies into a crazy, violent rage at the drop of a hat.
  • Expy: Her design was inspired by BB Hood from Darkstalkers, a character the author helped design.
  • Fiery Redhead: She has auburn hair and the most explosive temper out of anyone in the series.
  • The Gunslinger: In battle, she primarily uses firearms.
  • Hammerspace: She carries a lot of weapons under her cape. The author implies that Cisqua has access to possibly infinite amount of space in her cape and hat.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Cisqua tries to mug innocent people, steals, gambles and blasts people away with firearms, all which is played for comedy.
  • Hot-Blooded: She's the one to get the most heated up in a fight.
  • Hypocritical Humor: A lot of her comedic moments are her chastising immoral actions like stealing, mugging and gambling before or after she eagerly engages in those exact activities herself.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's very selfish, short-tempered, and vicious, but also a reliable and protective friend to her companions.
  • The Lancer: Her amoral, self-serving and overly violent personality directly contrasts The Hero Cou.
  • Little Miss Badass: She's short, but she's the strongest non-Pledger fighter around.
  • Money Fetish: There's nothing that brings her more joy than money.
  • More Dakka: She's armed with tons of artillery, including missile launchers and machine guns, and usually relies on ridiculous rapid-fire to fight.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: She's small and slim, yet she can beat the crap out of opponents much bigger than her.
  • The Napoleon: She's the shortest member of the team and the most prone to engage in comedic violence.
  • Older Than She Looks: She's sixteen, but looks around twelve.
  • Pocket Rocket Launcher: She has, among a profusion of other weapons hidden under her skirt, a miniature rocket rack, mounted, funnily enough, at about pocket-height on her thighs.
  • Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She's mortified when Cou accidentally falls over her in the hot springs and when she ends up in her underwear because of Clothing Damage in the fight against Lonble. She still gets pissed by the guys showing zero interest in her body.
  • Signature Headgear: She wears an iconic hat that looks like the top of a mushroom.
  • Small Girl, Big Gun: She wields a machinegun that is half the size of her body.
  • The Team Normal: She's the only member of the team who isn't a Pledger or an Edel Raid.
  • The Three Faces of Eve: The Child. Cisqua is the shortest, most energetic and temperamental of the main female trio.
  • Token Mini-Moe: She's short and flat-chested, making her the youngest-looking member of the main group.
  • Town Girls: The Butch. Cisqua is brash, fierce, the only of the three main girls skilled at hand-to-hand combat, and has a tomboyish appearance overall.
  • Trigger-Happy: She's quick to pull out her machine guns at the slightest provocation.
  • Waif-Fu: She's a strong martial artist for a petite girl. She's capable of winning a hand-to-hand combat against a fully-grown man who is a professional Edel Raid hunter.
  • Walking Armory: Underneath her robes and hat, she keeps an arsenal of firearms, missiles, knives, and other weapons she uses to complete her missions.

    Rowen 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rowen_eg.png

Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo [Drama CD], Yuji Ueda [Anime] (Japanese), Philip Pacaud (English)

A guardian of Arc Aile, and is occasionally tasked to assist with his senior in rank, Cisqua.


  • The Ace: He's well-skilled in multiple areas, whether it is cooking or fighting, and seems to excel at anything he does, making it seem as if he was perfect.
  • Butt-Monkey: He frequently falls victim of Cisqua's and Kuea's antics and he's always the one who must work to earn money for the team.
  • Dual Wielding: Kuea transforms into a pair of double blades that Rowen wields in each hand.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's blond and probably the nicest guy in the group.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's an attractive young man with long hair tied back in a long ponytail.
  • My Greatest Failure: Despite his attempts to help Viro, he couldn't change her self-loathing and had to see her being disposed of by Gladius after her defeat. This almost makes Rowen quit Arc Aile, but Kuea instead convinces him to prevent other girls to suffer the same fate as Viro and take revenge for her death against Orga Night.
  • Nice Guy: He's the friendliest and most polite guy in the main group.
  • Only Sane Man: He's the most normal and well-adjusted member of the team.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Kuea. They're partners, form a good team together and they're so close it's easy to mistake them for a couple, but there is no romantic attraction between them.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The meek Blue Oni to Kuea's excitable Red Oni.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: The Sensitive Guy to Cou's Manly Man. Rowen is more polite, calm and socially adjusted than Cou who was raised by pirates.
  • The Smart Guy: Out of the group, Rowen is the only one who doesn't act rashly and tries to be a voice of reason to his more impulsive friends.
  • Supreme Chef: He's a very good cook and his teammates love his meals.
  • Team Chef: He cooks for the group when travelling.
  • The Worf Effect: Vargret and even Kuea mock how Rowen lost every single of his battles in the second half of the manga. At least he does win his rematch against Grayarts in the final arc.

    Kullweet "Kuea" Entavilia 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kuea.png

Voiced by: Akemi Okamura [Drama CD], Naoko Suzuki [Anime] (Japanese), France Perras (English)

A first class Edel Raid from Arc Aile and Rowen's partner. Her garnet red elemental gelade are on the back of both her hands which she covers with arm length gloves. When Kuea gets hungry - which seems to be often - she can't react, so she eats enormous amounts of food at a time.


  • Adaptational Modesty: Her skirt isn't see-through in the anime.
  • Ambiguously Brown: She has a much darker skin tone than the other characters, but there's no indication to her ethnicity.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She's the Ms. Fanservice of the main group, always wearing a revealing outfit with a crop top that shows off her midriff.
  • Big Eater: She spends most of her time eating. Justified in that she recharges her power by eating.
  • Blood Knight: She loves to battle and often jumps into fights hastily.
  • Chained by Fashion: Her top includes a chain that keeps her skirt in place and she also wears chains in her hair as if they were ribbons.
  • Conspicuous Gloves: She wears a pair of arm-length gloves to cover her elemental gelade. She never takes them off even when taking a bath.
  • Cool Big Sis: She takes the role of a laidback older sister to the team. She usually likes to joke around with them, but she can occasionally act mature and give very good guidance.
  • Equippable Ally: She takes the weapon form of double blades that Rowen wields on each hand and six chained sickles on his back which can detach and attack opponents from a distance.
  • The Mourning After: In the anime, it's implied she had a Pledger whom she was in love with, but he unfortunately died. Kuea seems to have decided to avoid romance because of this and admits to Cou the reason why she chose Rowen as her partner was because he's someone she will never fall in love with.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's the woman with the sexiest figure and most revealing clothes in the main group.
  • Obsessed with Food: When she isn't transformed, she rarely thinks about anything but eating food.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: With Rowen. They're very close, but they only see each other as partners and good friends.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Her Big Eater antics make her by far the most comical character of the main group.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Downplayed. She has red eyes, is always eager for a fight and her weapon is dangerous, but she's a good person overall.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The excitable Red Oni to Rowen's meek Blue Oni.
  • Some Call Me "Tim": She thinks her full name Kullweet is too long and prefers to be called "Kuea".
  • Stripperiffic: Her outfit consists of a see-through skirt, a black leather G-string, and a curdoroy mini-tanktop, as well as a pair of long black gloves and boots. Her reasoning is that mobility is all-important, even trumping protection.
  • Thong of Shielding: Her outfit includes a high-cut thong.
  • The Three Faces of Eve: The Seductress. Kuea is the most mature-looking and skimpily dressed of the main female trio.
  • Town Girls: The Neither. Kuea has a more feminine style than the tomboyish Cisqua, but her laidback and gluttonous personality don't make her ladylike as the demure Ren.

    Lieutenant Cruz 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lieutenant_cruz.png

Voiced by: Yoji Ueda (Japanese), Alistair Abell (English)

Falk's second-in-command and Cisqua's most admired superior.


  • Nice Guy: He has a kind and gentle personality.
  • Number Two: His authority in Arc Aile is second to Falk.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: He tends to think outside the rules and what is actually good for the progression of Arc Aile. Because of this, he allows Cisqua, Rowen, and Kuea to chase after Cou and Ren under the guise of a vacation. At the end of the anime, he leads the peace treaty with Chaos Choir at the end of the series, unifying both Guardians and Edel Raids.

Voiced by: Hiroko Taguchi (Japanese), Marÿke Hendrikse (English)

Cisqua's self-proclaimed rival.


  • Adaptational Villainy: In the anime, she becomes a secondary villain, brainwashes Cou, and tries to kill Ren.
  • Always Second Best: She seems to be promoted at about the same time as Cisqua every time, but Cisqua always takes first place, leaving her in second place.
  • Anime Hair: She has a pair of drill-like curls attached to both sides od her head.
  • Ascended Extra: In the manga, she's a very minor character who only appears in a side story and the final chapter. In the anime, she and her relationship with Cisqua are given focus for an episode.
  • Death by Adaptation: She's shown alive at the end of the manga, but Cisqua is forced to kill her to protect Ren in the anime.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: In the anime, she thought Cisqua was similar to her because neither of them want to use Edel Raids as weapons. However, Myna does this because of her Fantastic Racism towards Edel Raids, as opposed to Cisqua who believes it's her duty to protect Edel Raids and thinks it's wrong to use them as tools.
  • Tragic Keepsake: In the anime, after being forced to kill Myna, Cisqua keeps Myna's Arc Aile uniform as a keepsake.
  • Unknown Rival: She sees Cisqua as her rival at Arc Aile, but Cisqua doesn't even bother to remember who she is.

  • The Alcoholic: He really likes to drink alcohol.
  • Badass Longcoat: He wears a longcoat to show how much of a badass he is.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's an alcoholic who seems irresponsible and laidback, making it hard to believe he's a commander of Arc Aile at first. Despite this, he's the strongest Guardian seen in the series.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He acts pervert towards Endy, but he's also very protective of her and treats her well as his partner.
  • Cool Shades: He's a cool and badass fighter wearing sunglass all the time.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a vulgar and rough man, but he's a helpful ally to the heroes and cares about Endy.

  • Revenge Before Reason: In the manga, she and her sister Beiroon manage to lure Cou and Ren into a trap and render them defenseless.

A young girl who helps Cou and quickly becomes acquainted with the other members of the group. Viro is later revealed to be a spy for the opposing group who has their eyes on Ren, but she's able to travel with the party with little suspicion because of her clumsy and air-headed qualities.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: The cloth of the lower part of her dress is white with green in the manga while the anime made it dark blue.
  • Adaptational Heroism: In the manga, Viro betrays the group and attempts to kill Rowen despite him trying to reach out to her. She's defeated by Rowen and her boss disposes of her for her failure. In the anime, on the other hand, she realizes she can't bring herself to kill Cou and ends up dying protecting him from Gladius.
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: In the manga, she appears in the arc of the Tigres sisters, but she's introduced much later in the anime.
  • Adaptational Nice Girl: In the manga, Viro is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who is cold and ruthless, not having any remorse in betraying the main group.

  • Adaptational Superpower Change: In the manga, Viro can only transform a single armored arm because she's an artificial Edel Raid. In the anime, however, her body can transform into a weapon when she reacts with Cou.
  • Artificial Human: She's an artificially created Edel Raid.
  • Becoming the Mask:
    • Subverted in the manga. She was touched by the group's kindness towards her and did enjoy traveling with them, but she still betrays them because she doesn't want her boss to dispose of her like garbage.
    • Played straight in the anime. When the time comes for her to betray the group, she can't go through with assassinating Cou and spares him despite knowing very well she will get killed for it.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: Subverted. She seems to be a friendly and bubbly girl, but it's just an act to gain the trust of Cou's group. She doesn't even actually need glasses and only wears them to appear more harmless.
  • Beta Test Baddie: She's part of a series of imperfect artificial Edel Raids that can only transform a part of their body, which is the source of one big inferiority complex for her. She thinks of herself as useless garbage just because she isn't a real Edel Raid and is terrified of being disposed as a failure by her boss.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She puts up the act of a friendly and slightly ditzy Bespectacled Cutie to earn the main group's trust. She's in fact a ruthless assassin and her true personality is very sour and hateful.
  • Broken Bird: Whenever she drops the cheerful girl act, her expressions are very sad and she gives melancholic speeches about "defective" stuff like herself being meant to be thrown away like garbage.
  • Curtains Match the Window: She has blue hair and matching blue eyes.

  • Disappears into Light: In the anime, her body turns into motes of light after she's killed.

  • Evil Costume Switch: When she drops her cover, she discards her modest white dress for a dark-colored, skimpy one.
  • Freakiness Shame: In the anime, Viro is ashamed of being a Sting Raid and hides her stone because she thinks it isn't pretty like an Edel Raid's elemental gelade. Ren still compliments her stone, calling it pretty.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Viro hates Edel Raids because she's an inferior imitation of them and she's desperate to accomplish her missions without fail because her boss will dispose of her if she fails him. Because of this, she betrays the group, poisons Ren and nearly kills Rowen while he's honestly trying to reach out to her. While her situation is harsh, Kuea points out Viro in the end is nothing more than a selfish, envious girl playing the role of a tragic heroine out of self-pity.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She ties her hair into twin braids when she's undercover so she keep up her harmless cute girl facade.

  • The Lost Lenore: In the manga, Rowen developed a crush on her and tried his best to save her, but ultimately could do nothing but watch Viro being disposed of. Rowen's failure to save Viro becomes his main motivation for the rest of the series.
  • Love Redeems:
    • Subverted in the manga. Rowen feels attracted to her and tries to get her to turn around through compassion. Unfortunately, he realizes nothing he does will get through Viro and he has no choice but to fight her.
    • Played straight in the anime. She's touched by Cou's kindness and falls in love with him, which is what ultimately keeps her from killing him.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: In sharp contrast to the manga, Viro is portrayed this way in the anime. She was manipulated by Chaos Choir and given the fake promise that she would be turned into a true Edel Raid if she infiltrated Cou's group. Even then, she doesn't actually do anything evil to anyone, and reacts with Cou to protect him and Ren multiple times. Even when she's ordered to kill Cou, she can't bring herself to go through with it. Sadly, Chaos Choir decide to dispose of her once they realize she isn't going to betray Cou.

  • The Right Hand of Doom: As an Edel Raid imitation, she can manifest a huge armored right arm.
  • Romantic Fake–Real Turn: She fakes having a crush on Cou to infiltrate his group. In the anime, she falls in love with Cou for real and this plays a big part in her pulling a Heel–Face Turn.

  • Sixth Ranger Traitor: She joins Cou's team as a cover agent with the intention of betraying them.
