- Schrödinger's Player Character: Shintetsu only had one child, but the player chooses whether it was male or female.
Cleru
- Blue Is Heroic: His outfit is blue, and he's one of the selectable protagonists.

Guardian Beasts

Zantek
A Mechanoid-type that can't speak in the language of humans, but it acknowledges its master as a close friend and always supports him/her.

- Robot Buddy: It takes the form of a small jet-like robot.
- Shock and Awe: His attacks are all electrical.
Sugar
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 Shintetsu had a daughter instead).
- Abhorrent Admirer: To a degree, as the player character is initially uncomfortable with her advances.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She gets upset nearly every time Cleru or Pratty talks to another woman. She's also jealous of Amariss for marrying Shintetsu, but she's polite enough to stay silent about the whole thing.
- Making a Splash: Her attacks and spells are based around water.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's a cute, curvaceous fairy wearing a tiny halter top and shorts that leave part of her hips bare.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Her whole name is Sugarette, but good luck finding that out.
- Rose-Haired Sweetie: As sweet as her name implies.
- Single-Target Sexuality: Regardless of whether you're playing as Cleru or Pratty, she only has eyes for the Player Character.
- Sherlock Scan: She realizes Razzy is a girl before the the player character can figure it out themselves.
Rasho
A young Oni-type King who, for some reason, highly respects Amariss.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite wanting to maintain the image of a cocky demon king, he treats Amariss with dignity, and can form a true bond with the protagonist.
- Noble Demon: Despite being a noble Oni, he provides genuine aid to Patty/Cleru's family
- Playing with Fire: His attacks have fire as their main element.
Kutty
A dog-like Beast-type creature that's as smart as a dog. It doesn't take to humans easily, but it loves its master and the people around him/her.
- Blow You Away: Their attacks utitilze the wind element.
- Dope Slap: Fond of punching people who act stupid and/or hysterical.
- Full-Contact Magic: All of his offensive spells are performed by him punching or uppercutting.
- Pokémon Speak: He can only say his name.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: It takes the form of a tiny green animal with a fluffy tail, ears, and hair that sticks out of their hat.
Rivals
Sanary
Sanary
A fellow apprentice in the Silver Guild, Sanary is the younger sister of Master Kouren, the Craftlord of Ruby.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She progressively changes into a more typical Tsundere as the story winds on.
- Fiery Redhead: A classic example of the trope.
- Glass Cannon: As an opponent, Sanary has a very powerful sword. 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.
- Go-Go Enslavement: Sanary is the 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.
- It's All About Me: She buys up all the ore on sale at the start of the game to stop anyone else from making weapons and later demands the the player miss their second tournament match to help her retrieve weapons from the Gold Guild. Weapons that she herself sold, just to boost her own ego. However, she does grow out of it later on.
- Jack of All Stats: Sanary is a very well-rounded opponent. She isn't as brutish as Kenon, as fast as Razzy, and doesn't have Varil's reach, 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.
- Lethal Chef: Rescuing Sanary from soldiers has her attempt at cooking attack you in a Boss Battle.
- Story Branch Favoritism: The game seems to favor her as the canon love interest. She's the first person beside your summon creature that you can go for walks with, and gets plenty of Ship Tease towards the end of the game, reguardless of who you've 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).
- Straw Feminist: Believes that a female Craftknight is better than a male one.
Varil
Varil (ヴァリラ)
The son of Libody, the Gold Guild's head. Often referred to as a genius, he is even more arrogant than Chaves.
- Gay Option: Inverted, he's the only straight romance option for Pratty.
- Internal Reformist: 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 Deigleya.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Very rough around the edges and not all that nice, but when push comes to shove he's got his heart in the right place.
- The Lancer: He tends to act as the second person in charge when he and the protagonist are together. And he uses spears.
- Making a Splash: Varil uses a Water-element spear and his Guardian Beast uses the water type spells.
- Rich Jerk: Upon being defeated early in the game- "You're just jealous because I'm richer than you'll ever be!"
- The Rival: Varil declares himself this to the main character in the first game.
- Superboss: A powered-up Varil can be fought at the end of the post-game Exhibition Match. There he makes use of his Guardian Beast and fights at full power.
- Token Good Teammate: He and Kenon are by far the nicest and most moral members of the Gold Guild. Though in Varil's case, that's not actually saying much...
Razzy
Razzy
Bron's niece, Razzy dresses as a boy because she believes she needs to act masculine to be a good Craftknight.
- Achilles' Heel: Astral Guard. Razzy relies heavily on using her speed to interrupt your attacks and chain painful combos, but Astral Guard makes you Immune to Flinching she loses the best advantage she has against you.
- Ambiguous Gender Identity: She seems to struggle with wanting to be a boy versus wanting to be more girly, as she believes that she must act more masculine to be a good Craftknight. If the player goes to speak with her after Ureksa's death, she voices her struggles aloud, musing on how the other female characters are more feminine than she is and wondering if that means she should be more like them.
- Genki Girl: She's loud, excitable, and energetic.
- Lightning Bruiser: Literally. She uses electric element knuckle weapons, letting her hit hard and fast.
- The Nicknamer: After Cleru/Pratty defeats the Yasha Spider, she decides to call them Big Bro/Sis and never once uses their name afterward.
- Power Fist: Knuckles. When you fight her in the tournament, she has a set that's quite powerful by that point in the game.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: She switches to a yellow sundress in her final event, leaving the protagonist in shock at how cute she is.
- Sweet Polly Oliver: She dresses as and looks quite a lot like a boy, such that Cleru/Pratty is taken off guard when her gender is revealed later on in the game.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She dresses and acts like a boy, favors a hard-hitting, in-your-face fighting style, and plans to plant flowers everywhere in Wystern if she wins the tournament. After she loses to the player and whenever you go to speak with her at night, she can be found hanging out in the secret garden on the Central Tower's fourth floor.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: Due to her high attack speed, ability to string multiple hit combos together and her electric element, she's a step up in difficulty from the Mighty Glacier and Stone Wall opponents you fight earlier in the tournament.
Chaves
Chaves
- Badass Normal: Fancies himself this, boasting that he doesn't need a Guardian Beast to fight with him. Doesn't stop him from saying the player won because of his Guardian Beast.
- BFS: One that he wields like a knife. It's quite easy to break and acquire for yourself, though.
- Fat Bastard: Assuming all that bulk under his coat isn't muscles, he's hefty and quite rude. Sakuro even states that he doesn't fully live up to or even understand the Craftknight's code.
- Japanese Delinquents: With his sunglasses, pompadour and trenchcoat, he fits the image to a T.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: Chaves has a large muscle bound frame four times the square area of any other human opponent. He is stupidly easy to beat, and the second time you fight him, he can be killed in a few hits. To make things worse, his BFS is no harder for the player character to use than a basic axe.
- Sore Loser: He claims your victory was because of your Guardian Beast, despite the fact that he chose not to summon his. Bonus points if you didn't actually use your Beast in this battle.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Zig-zagged. You can fight him again at Kagro Volcano and while he has enough HP to match yours, his weapon is still the same as in the first battle while you might have much more powerful crafted weapons by then;
- Warm-Up Boss: He's a big target that uses slow heavy swings, doesn't use a summon beast and isn't that difficult to fight against.
Kenon
Kenon
- Graceful Loser: Takes his loss in the tournament with far more dignity than Chaves. Kenon is very respectful and notes his loss was due to the player character being better than them. This is a sharp (and explicitly noted) contrast to the rest of the gold guild.
- Internal Reformist: One late game conversation with Kenon has him give this as his reason for remaining in the Gold Guild.
- Mighty Glacier: Kenon is very slow, but his Axe has high durability and hits like a truck.
- Token Good Teammate: He and Varil are by far the nicest and most moral members of the Gold Guild
- Warm-Up Boss: A mixed example. Kenon is still one of the easier opponents no matter how you choose to defeat him, but trying to break his weapon can much tougher than Chaves since Kenon's weapon not only has higher durability but Kenon will move around a lot more making the fight trickier, Kenon is also the first human AI to make use of his Guardian Beast as well.
- Weak, but Skilled: Varil states that Kenon is a beginner Craftknight, but a skilled warrior.
- Worthy Opponent: One strange example where after you defeat him it's Varil who starts seeing you as an actual threat instead of a rookie that got lucky and declares himself to be your rival.
Ariel & Mariel
Ariel & Mariel
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.
- Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Both sisters do not hide the fact they think how superior they are to you.
- Dual Boss: Subverted. Ariel is your opponent and Mariel will act as her partner, essentially taking the place of a Guardian Beast, to aid her with spells.
- Lightning Bruiser: Not on Razzy levels, but Ariel is fast on her feet and her AI is surprisingly good at using its attacks to catch you between yours.
- This Is a Drill: Ariel make use of an Electric powered drill.
- Tsundere
Craftlords
Shintetsu
Shintetsu (シンテツ)
The former Craftlord of Iron, and the father of Cleru/Pratty.
- Chick Magnet: His kid got it from somewhere. Amariss, Kouren, and Sugar (assuming she was his Guardian Beast) all fell for him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: It's clear he died doing something heroic, but it's vague as to what. He put his soul into four swords to seal Parista, giving his life so his Guardian Beast didn't have to.
- Posthumous Character: Long gone before the events of the game start, but his actions still have a heavy impact on many important characters.
Sakuro
Sakuro
The Craftlord of Sapphire. He was Shintetsu's pupil and in turn has become a mentor to his son/daughter.
- Big Brother Mentor: As a former apprentice of Shintetsu, he takes the Player Character under his wing.
- Love Freak: Regards love as the most important part of cooking curry.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Curry. He has Cleru/Pratty make him some as part of training.
- Trickster Mentor: He has Cleru/Pratty forge a soup ladle under the pretense of a new weapon technique, and makes them cook him curry. Turns out this is because Shintetsu did the same when training him.
Lubert
Lubert
The Craftlord of Amber.
- Beard of Evil: Lampshaded repeatedly.
- Obviously Evil: The guy just looks like he's up to something.
- Shock and Awe: His Summon Creature specializes in this element.
Ureksa
Ureksa
The Craftlord of Jade and Rumari's brother.
- Blow You Away: His Summon Creature and spears are all wind elements.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Parista is able to control him thanks to his own hatred of the Summon Beast.
- Driven to Suicide: He throws himself off a tower after learning that he may have sold Wystern out to the Deigleyans for nothing.
- Revenge Before Reason: It doesn't matter to him that doing so threatens the world, he wants to free Parista to kill him and avenge his ill sister.

The Craftlord of Diamond. He is the leader of the Craftlords and the de facto ruler of Wystern.
- Big Good: The leader of the Craftknights.

Rumari
Rumari
A young woman living in a quiet seaside town. She is the former Craftlord of Jade.
- Brought Down to Badass: Even with her incurable illness, she still wrecks a Deigleyan invasion force with only minimal help, and Kouren strongly implies that she could have done it by herself if she were still at a hundred percent.
- Delicate and Sickly: Subverted. She is unnaturally pale and has Exhausted Eye Bags, and some of the other characters treat her as frail, but she's still tough enough to grab a weapon and fight off a Deigleyan invasion force.
- Retired Badass: Formerly the Craftlord of Jade.
- Soap Opera Disease: Her "heat illness", which remains ill-defined throughout the game, though it's apparently because she was slapped with said disease after she got too close to Parista.
Tyram
Tyram
The Craftlord of Crystal and Rumari's boyfriend.
- Best Friends-in-Law: Formerly this with Ureksa.
- Distressed Dude: He was captured and imprisoned by Lubert and Ureksa after overhearing their conversation about betraying Wystern to the Deigleyans.
- Eyes Always Shut: His portrait never depcits him with open eyes.
- Retired Badass: Quits being a Craftlord to stay with Rumari.
- We Used to Be Friends: With Ureksa.
Kouren
Kouren
Sanary's older sister, and the Craftlord of Ruby.
- The Mourning After: Though they weren't in a relationship, she never fully recovered from Shintetsu's death.
- The Smurfette Principle: The only female Craftlord following Rumari's retirement. Subverted if Pratty is chosen as the player character, since she becomes the Craftlord of Iron.
Others
Master Bron
Master Bron
The owner of the Silver Guild, and a good friend of Shintetsu.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Bron can be goofy and eccentric, but he was also once in line to be the next Craftlord of Amber.
- Funetik Aksent: A Scottish one.
- Hopeless Suitor: Towards Amariss.
- Violent Glaswegian: Downplayed. He's given a Scottish accent and is grumpy and abrasive, but he's not a particularly violent sort.
Amariss
Amariss
Cleru/Pratty's mother, and the late Shintetsu's wife.
- Almighty Mom: Despite appearing like an ordinary house wife, she has all the connections and knows all the tidbits required to help out from the sidelines.
- As You Know: Forces the Player Character to answer questions about their name and occupation.
Nigelle
Nigelle
Libody's aide.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's an aggressively greedy businessman, approaching the player with a contract and treating their acceptance like it was a done deal. And as it turns out, he's also complicit in some dirty dealings.
- Dastardly Whiplash: He wears a golden coat instead of a black one and no top hat, but he fits the image to a T.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Corrupt Corporate Executive he may be, but he honestly and earnestly thanks the Player Character for being the friend that Varil needed.
- Snake Oil Salesman: His trademark scam is to buy swords from rookies of other guilds, pass them off as the Gold Guild's work, and sell them cheap.
Libody
Libody
The owner of the Gold Guild, and Varil's father.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Puts a stop to Nigelle's practices on his son's say-so.

A Summon Beast of Fire that wants revenge against Shintetsu.
- Big Bad: Though it's not revealed until later in the game.
- Eldritch Abomination: Its pre-One-Winged Angel form is a slug-like, blobular monster with a large maw. Its third and final form is also nightmarish, with its stomach replaced by a giant red head with pointed teeth.
- Heel–Face Turn: Ultimately redeemed.
- One-Winged Angel: While its initial form is best described as slug-like, its second form resembles a giant black dragon. And then it has a form after that, which resembles an armored demon with a second giant head in place of its stomach.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: It's sealed in the labyrinth deep below the city of Wystern. Sealing it away when it went berserk is what cost Shintetsu his life.
