The Primary Protagonists

Kurt Irving (Number 7)

Voiced by Yūichi Nakamura.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurt_irving_7.png

I will regain my name, no matter what.

A 20-year-old ex-officer banished to the Nameless for charges of treason. He now uses his time among the Nameless to gain back his name and redeem himself.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Sniper.

The Ace: Was a top Lanseal cadet who graduated shortly before the Imperial invasion of EC 1935.
Agent Scully: Believes in no superstition whatsoever, which occasionally leads to hilarious moments. On the other hand, this is how he manages to clear Riela's reputation.
Clear My Name: The good latter half of the game is dedicated to this now that he has strong evidence against Eisler.
The Comically Serious: At times. For example, he calmly gives Zeri candies to cool the latter's head off, all while retaining a serious look. In the OVA, he does a similar thing to Isara, which gives off the vibe that he has just given candies to a little kid.
Determinator: Even when the entire world is arrayed against him and The Nameless, he won't give up and usually will come out with a rational solution.
The Gadfly: Has a tendency to tease Imca in her personal scenes. Even in her ending!
He Knows Too Much: Initially, no, he really does not know a thing about the conspiracy. After one too many Uriah Gambits though, he finally begins to know too much.
Limit Break: Kurt is able to get two nearby allies to follow him and attack together while only using up his own pool of AP.
Nice Guy: A naturally nice guy, probably moreso than Welkin.
No Social Skills: Despite the aforementioned trope, he starts out rather awkward around others, to the point where he sees no point of thanking Riela's efforts after a mission, thinking it's a normal thing.
Real Men Wear Pink: Has a talent for mixing herbs and spices in order to make eating rations more tolerable - sometimes at the entire Squad's expense.
Reassigned to Antarctica: Despite being a brilliant Lanseal graduate, he's sent off to lead The Nameless. Because he just so happens to bump into a particular courier that was carrying messages of a conspiracy between Carl Eisler and Cardinal Borgia. Eisler is paranoid as hell.
Shirtless Scene: In the Beach Episode in chapter 7 and the epilogue of "The Secret of Her Power" DLC, although in the former we only see his close-up.
Sweet Tooth: Whenever he's angry, he cools his head off with candies.
Theme Naming: The number "7", a staple within the series, this time used as his number within the Nameless.

Imca (Ace Number 1)

Voiced by Masumi Asano.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imca_1.png

The death of one specific individual... I wish for nothing beyond that.

A 17-year-old Darcsen from an Imperial village very near the Gallian border, armed with a rocket launcher/BFS out for revenge against a Valkyria who destroyed her village.

Preferred classes: Lancer (starting class), Fencer.

Ace Custom: Her weapon, Var, was something she made herself.
Action Girl: Taken to extremely awesome levels. It's safe to say she's definitely the main one in Squad 422.
Badass Bandolier: Wears a belt of lancer shells. It sways nicely.
Badass Normal: Isn't a Valkyria, nor an artificial one. It's just a girl with a hand-made weapon, inmense strenght and sheer willpower.
BFG: As a Lancer or Mortarer, her Var goes into Rocket Mode. As a Shocktrooper (with correct burst modes), Scout, Sniper, or Engineer, it goes into Gun Mode.
BFS: As a Fencer or Armored Tech, her Var goes into Blade Mode.
The Berserker: Has shades of this in the story.
Book Dumb: She spent several years in the wilderness, giving her an extensive knowledge of nature and combat. However, she tends to oversimplify things.
Combat Pragmatist: Noted in her Fragment chapter.
The Comically Serious: Thanks to her Book Dumb nature. For example, at one point when the Nameless took a group photo, Imca flatly stated that she hopes the camera won't suck her soul out of her body.
Defrosting Ice Queen: It takes longer than most examples, but it definitely applies.
Doomed by Canon: Not literally speaking. Because of the 1st game already showing how Selvaria died, Imca will never be able to fulfill her vengeance of killing her. She tries to off herself upon hearing this revelation to chase her down to hell, but was stopped by Kurt to not waste Selvaria's parting words and eventually finds to forgive her.
Duel to the Death: She polishes her big gun every night while thinking about having this kind of very personal moment with Selvaria. When this finally happens, Selvaria absolutely thrashes her with little effort.
Due to the Dead: Upon finding out about Isara's death, she fires off her Var to the sky to pay her respects.
Forgiveness: Forgives Selvaria after the latter spares her in their Duel to the Death, delivers her unconscious body to Kurt, and gives a little speech about how there are a lot of things in life that are much more worthwhile than war. This is after Selvaria was essentially dumped by Maximilian.
It's Personal: She might hate the Imperium just like other good Gallians, but ultimately what matters to her is her epic vendetta against "the witch with the blue flames". When the Gallian army finally makes a move to recapture Ghirlandaio, she rushes there before anyone else because she don't want anyone other than her to finish Selvaria.
I Work Alone: Carries to her Personal Potential, actually, and two missions involve playing only as her.
I do not need any help!
Limit Break: Imca can use her weapon to target multiple enemies and launch a Macross Missile Massacre.
Not So Stoic: She freaks out when Kurt gives her a mushroom at one point, not knowing of her hatred of them. For a darker example, see Unstoppable Rage below.
Picky Eater: It's even the name of one of her Personal Potentials. Namely, she hates mushrooms, milk, bitter coffee, and there's probably still more.
Revenge: She joined the Nameless so she can get revenge on a certain Valkyria who destroyed her village.
Revenge Before Reason: Geez, just because you can knock a fledgling Valkyria with your BFS, doesn't mean that you can do the same to a seasoned Valkyria that is an ace even without her magic power... And there is actually a chapter where she storms Ghirlandaio just by herself with this baseless confidence, thus necessitating a very difficult rescue mission. She actually lost to Selvaria this way, and it's only Selvaria's mercy and/or lack of will to live that spares her.
Shout-Out: Specifically, her weapon is inspired by the bayonet weapons in the Wild ARMs series. Fitting, as this game was developed by Media Vision.
Sleep Cute: With Kurt in the "No. 1 is Restless" DLC.
Small Girl, Big Gun: She's not really that small, but that gun still dwarfs her considerably.
The Stoic: Tends to have a flat expression.
Swiss-Army Gun: Her personally created weapon, Var, is capable of functioning as her weapon for any infantry class. Although, canonically, it combines the Lancer, Shocktrooper and Fencer class variations together.
Unstoppable Rage: Her reaction upon seeing a Valkyria including Riela. She nearly blows Riela's head off, but fortunately Kurt manages to shoot her BFG out of her hands.
Verbal Tic: Almost always ends her sentences with "-nai" (no).^note
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She hates them very much, including non-poisonous variants.

Riela Marcellis (Number 13)

Voiced by Aya Endo.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/riela_marcellis_13.png

There was one person who told me I'm not the "Grim Reaper".

A 21-year-old Valkyria viewed as The Jinx for being only survivor of many doomed army squads.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Engineer.

Action Girl: Oh yes. She comes rather close to rivaling Imca in this department, but the latter still has her beat.
All of the Other Reindeer: She has been this since she was a child due to her strange appearance, and made worse thanks to her Grim Reaper reputation. She gradually loses this with Kurt's help, though.
Angst: She does Angst when she discover her Valkyria power, but she gets over it relatively quickly... if only because by that point there are so many other crap that is happening in her life. If anything, she actually thinks of her power as a disaster mitigation.
Big Eater: And apparently having insensitive taste buds doesn't help matters.
Bullying a Dragon: According to her, she used to be bullied often as a child, only for her wounds to be completely healed on the next day. The bullies stopped on their own upon learning about it.
Chekhov's Gun: The knife that she used to threaten Kurt early in the story, to some extent. As revealed in "The Secret of Her Power" DLC, it acts as a small-scale Valkyrian artifact that activates her power, and played a factor on how she managed being the Sole Survivor of five squads. This may also explain why, unlike Alicia, she didn't have to be put at the brink of death for her Valkyria power to awaken in the story.
Clingy Jealous Girl: If the epilogue of "No. 1 is Restless" says anything, she has shades of this. Poor Imca.
D-Cup Distress: She dislikes her breasts being so big as she tries to diet, only to find she's losing weight everywhere BUT her chest. It should be noted she still drinks milk, which some characters suspect is the cause. Fans however would also point to her being a Valkyria as the reason.
Healing Factor: Like Alicia, she has the "Mysterious Body" potential, and story-wise, her injuries heal fast.
The Jinx: Seen this way by other soldiers due to her being the only survivor of multiple squads.
Limit Break: Riela goes into Valkyria mode where she becomes invincible and can do a One-Hit Kill with her lance.
Meaningful Name: She's called Number 13, the unlucky number.
Ms. Fanservice: Huge breasts, short miniskirt, long red/white hair, and wears a bouncy bikini during the beach segment.
Nice Girl: An innately kind woman, although her reputation as The Jinx overshadows this.
No-Sell: She is unaffected by attacks while in Valkyria Mode.
Of Corsets Sexy: Part of her outfit has what looks like a red corset, which helps accentuate her huge breasts.
Sole Survivor: Of multiple squads prior to joining Squad 422.
Trademark Favorite Food: In contrast to Imca, she likes milk.
Undying Loyalty: Seems to develop this to Kurt after he helps her to prove that her "Grim Reaper" title is undeserved.

Squad 422 (The Nameless)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/422nd.jpg

Gallia's penal military unit, consisting of criminals, deserters and military offenders whose names are stricken off the record and given numbers in their place. Expected to die for Gallia, they are sent to do Gallia's dirtiest jobs, up to and including taking on Calamity Raven, an Imperial detachment mostly made of Darcsens.

Badass Crew: While assigned to take on the most dangerous of missions that the Gallian military would dare not attempt, they are nevertheless up to the task; their Faction Motto reinforces this.
Custom Uniform: None of The Nameless wear a standardized uniform outside of Kurt. According to her dossier, Carisa is responsible for this, outfitting everyone based on her fashion sense. Narratively, this serves as a visual representation of the 422nd's outcast nature compared to the rest of the Gallian armed forces, including the militia.
Faction Motto: "Altaha Abilia" (Latin for "Always Ready"), highlighting the squad's determination to take on whatever dangers come their way.
Fire-Forged Friends: Ultimately, and reinforced in one of the endings. When Kurt asks for their assistance for the last time against Dahau, all of them follow him.
Meaningful Name: The unit's number is a stealth reference to the 442nd Infantry Regiment, a Japanese-American unit who fought on the European front during World War II (except with the "4" in the middle digit replaced with "2").
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: More so than those from the previous two games (the first is a militia unit made up of civilian volunteers; the second is an entire class of bottom-rung cadets).
Side Quest: Using your troops for certain amount of time will eventually unlock their side chapters. Completing them will give new Personal Potentials those give great advantage for them.
You Are Number 6: Everyone is assigned a number, and are expected to address each other as such.

Gloria Durrell (Number 3)

Voiced by Chigusa Ikeda.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gloria_durrell_3.png

I'm still active... both as a soldier and as a woman.

An old lady accused of weapons smuggling, being a "madam" at a whorehouse and countless other minor crimes that aren't specified in-game.

Preferred classes: Lancer (starting class), Gunner.

Cool Old Lady: And oddly doubles as a Cool Big Sis figure of sort, especially for Annika.
Even Evil Has Standards: She has no illusion about where she stands in the morality spectrum, but even she has a moral code that she follows fervently. This is actually the point of her Fragment.
(Potential triggered) "Even someone like me has a sense of justice."
Glass Cannon: She is one of the best characters in terms of firing accuracy, and due to her preferred classes, she can be very lethal. Unfortunately, she suffers from low HP and evasion.
Intergenerational Friendship: Especially with Annika: most of the time they are together, and Gloria is constantly showing her cynical side to Annika's idealistic view of the world.
I Was Quite a Looker: Implied by her mentioning that she has experience in Frederica's line of work.

Gusurg (Number 6)

Voiced by Takuya Kirimoto.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gusurg_6.png

The Darcsen spirit exists in that endless, boundless sky...

Squad 422's Darcsen Tank Commander who was thrown into Nameless for being a "troublesome Darcsen activist".

Big Brother Mentor: To Kurt (and also the player), since he tells him how the squad works and why they call themselves with their names instead of their numbers.
Cool Tank: Like the second game, you can customize your tank as either.
Cynicism Catalyst: Throughout the story, he becomes more jaded and cynical about the Gallian forces, his positive potential replaced with negative ones.
Smug Snake: After his defection, he really take his time belittling Kurt whenever they meet in combat, he also views his men and Lydia ultimately expendable in the name of Dascen independence.
Taking You with Me: He refuses to abandon Randgriz even though Marmota is gone and Galian Army is rushing in to take back their capital. If he's going to die, he might as well BLOW UP ECHIDNA AND THE ENTIRETY OF RANDGRIZ, making the capital his grave. Stopping him is the goal of Episode 19. This does make him a lot less sympathetic.
Trademark Favorite Food: Spicy foods, to the point he ruined Giulio and Kurt's Cooking Duel at one point.
Walking Spoiler: Towards the second half of the game it's hard to talk about Gusurg without involving spoilers.

Alfons Auclair (Number 11)

Voiced by Kohei Matsumoto.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alfons_auclair_11_4.png

I'll always be cocky and chubby

Also known as the "Gallian Hawk", Alfons prides himself on being an expert spy. He got sent to the Nameless for his illegal methods of information-gathering.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Armored Tech.

Acrofatic: To some extent, with Scout as his preferred Class and all.
Alliterative Name: Alfons Auclair.
Big Fun: He's a little chubby and one of the most cool characters in the game.
Early-Bird Cameo: He first appeared during Edy and Homer's milestone 100th article for the Valkyria Chronicles Blog.
Lightning Bruiser: Has a ton of HP and one of his favored class is Scout.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: He was a former nobleman.
Stone Wall: As an Armored Tech he gets it quite right: having a ton of HP and defense (both naturally and for being in said class) makes him pretty tough to beat down.
Those Two Guys: Occasionally seen together with Felix and Giulio in side chapters.
Too Kinky to Torture: It doesn't get to the point of netting him a Masochist potential like Homer, but at least half of the time Leila whips him, he seems to enjoy it.

Valerie Aynsley (Number 12)

Voiced by Ai Sasaki.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/valerie_aynsley_12.png

To know the truth of history, one must study the history as recorded by the fallen.

A historian seeking the truth behind the Darcsen Calamity. Wound up as "Number 12" for repeated counts of trespassing into historical ruins.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Engineer.

Adventurer Archaeologist: The very reason of why she ended up in the squad: entering Randgriz Castle illegally.
Determinator: Very dead-set on seeking the truth behind the Darcsen Calamity, even as it may be too much for her own good. At least, Deit appreciates her for her efforts.
Fragile Speedster: Contrasting Alfons (who is also a scout at the start of the game), Valerie has low HP, and two of her Personal Potentials activate after her HP falls below half.
The Medic: One of her preferred classes is being an Engineer.
Smart People Wear Glasses: Unlike Gloria (who uses glasses due to her age) and Cedric (who uses shades), her glasses acts as a reminder that she was an assistant professor at Randgriz University.

Amy Apple (Number 15)

Voiced by Minami Tsuda.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amy_apple_15.png

If you die, I will cry.

An ordinary girl that joined the Nameless in a desperate attempt to get enough money to fund her father's artistic career.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Gunner.

Alliterative Name: Amy Apple.
Child Soldier: Amy is one year below the conscription age.
Church Militant: In what possibly be a subversion, despite being a devout Yggdist follower, she doesn't harbor hostility towards Darcsens like Audrey does.
Daddy's Girl: The reason why she joined The Nameless. Taken further in-game if being near Deit, since he looks like her father.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Deit, albeit more due to Deit being so tall rather than huge.
Idiot Hair: A small one. Doesn't necessarily reflect her intelligence, though.
The Napoleon: Subverted gameplay-wise - her small stature is actually an advantage for her, as shown in one of her Personal Potentials. Played straight story-wise, however, as she is actually one centimeter shorter than her registered height (150 cm).
Nice Girl: She's not violent, strange, bitter, hold dark secrets, or scheming. Which is a rarity amongst the female Nameless.
Parental Neglect: She is the one who needs to look after her father instead of the other way round.
Replacement Goldfish: More or less, she's taking the place of Deit's dead little sister.
Small Girl, Big Gun: Her preferred classes are Scout and Gunner. When she carries a heavy machine gun, it really shows.

Ada Ansorge (Number 16)

Voiced by Misaki Maruyama.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ada__ansorge_16.png

I still consider myself an officer of the law. Don't underestimate me.

A police officer driven to put Cedric on death row, who, for refusing to cooperate with an officer who decided to send Cedric to the Nameless instead, is sent over to become, ironically, Cedric's squadmate as "Number 16".

Preferred classes: Lancer (starting class), Sniper.

Alliterative Name: Ada Ansorge
Bifauxnen: The only giveaway is her unmistakably feminine voice, but even that is rather deep.
Determinator: She's hellbent on bringing Cedric to justice. Considering how he also singlehandedly ruined her career, this is quite understandable.
Irony: She made it her duty to send Cedric down the death row, only to end up sharing the same unit as him.
Tsundere: Some of her reactions to Cedric can be seen as this.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Which is what ended her up as "Number 16".
Ship Tease: With Cedric. In its own twisted way, Carisa's Fragment mission runs with this, although for the most part, Cedric is just trolling her.
Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: She's keen on bringing Cedric to justice, sometimes bordering on Blood Knight levels.
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: She won't let Cedric die in battle, since her and only her must bring him to face true justice in a court.

Ilmari Gasotto (Number 17)

Voiced by Takeshi Mori.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ilmari_gasotto_17.png

Chill out, it's not like we're going to die or anything.

A young man branded as "Number 17" for failing to show up at a compulsory Militia draft, having felt too lazy at that time.

Preferred classes: Engineer (starting class), Sniper.

All Love Is Unrequited: Harbors feeling towards Riela, who (obviously) harbors feelings for Kurt.
All There in the Manual: In-game, when asked why he is in the squad, he only replies with "I don't know. I fell asleep and woke up here" and is never brought up again in the entire game. In the artbook of the game, the reason is listed as avoiding conscription (which goes pretty well with him).
Draft Dodging: In what is probably a Disproportionate Retribution, he's punished by being sent to The Nameless.
Lazy Bum: He lacks motivation, and it shows in almost everything.
The Slacker: So lazy, he only joins you AFTER THE GAME IS CLEARED. That's, like, so meta.

Elliot Oates (Number 18)

Voiced by Tomohisa Hashizume.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elliot_oates_18.png

The reason why I was assigned to Nameless? The men in power felt threatened by my prowess.

A man in a fancy suit and gloves branded as "Number 18" for alleged marriage fraud.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Armored Tech.

The Casanova: A polite gentleman that can charm both men and women. With a history of broken hearts and many marriage frauds, he embraces this trope.
Custom Uniform: His standard outfit is basically a long coat.
Friend to All Children: One of his battle quote is "Children are the treasures of the world". And he doesn't come off as creepy for that, despite being The Casanova. This really shows if you complete his Fragment.
- He is friend with Amy, and their bond is like a father and a daughter.
Love Hurts: At first, he still cannot get over his true love from years ago.

Frederica Lipps (Number 19)

Voiced by Minami Tsuda.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frederica_lipps_19.png

Men are so stupid... it's adorable.

A beautiful spy who went to the Nameless to escape from people chasing after her.

Preferred classes: Scout (starting class), Shocktrooper.

Custom Uniform: Her outfit is pretty much a long-sleeved one-piece with side slits showing her thighs, complete with fishnet stockings.
Femme Fatale: More or less lampshaded in the title of her Fragment, "The Scary Lady".
Honey Trap: Her main technique as a spy. Also how apparently she managed to get Crowe to put her in the Nameless.
Ms. Fanservice: She's gorgeous to look at, and makes use of this in her work as a spy.
Sexy Backless Outfit: Her outfit practically shows her naked back, showing that she isn't using a bra. And since the player will be spending almost all the time looking the characters from behind, it's an easy way to remember her.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She is afraid of ghosts, and it's implied that she sleeps with any man so she won't be alone in the night. If she is deployed on a any mission in the night, expect to see her freaked out constantly.

Felix Cowley (Number 21)

Voiced by Daisuke Matsubara.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felix_cowley_21.png

I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family.

A Nameless with a strong "big brother" instinct towards his squadmates due to losing his entire family during the first Europan War. Ended up in The Nameless after disobeying orders from a superior.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Lancer.

Big Brother Instinct: To his peers - which got him into trouble with his superiors and branded him as "Number 21."
"I'll protect my True Companions, definitely!"
Big Damn Hero: In the epilogue of his Fragment mission, he arrives just in time to rescue Giulio from incoming Empire reinforcements.
Determinator: Will keep his True Companions safe at all costs, as shown in his Fragment mission when he rescued Giulio.
Disproportionate Retribution: He filed a complaint against an incompetent officer and got hauled off to the Nameless for his trouble.
Female Gaze: Although not very detailed, his in-game model shows quite a bit of his ass. He also happens to be the only one with it.
Innocently Insensitive: Even moreso than Kurt. While he generally means well, his obliviousness to females' way of thinking often causes him to unintentionally offend his female squadmates, makes him severely unpopular among them. Ouch.
The Lancer: Among secondary characters, he serves as this, being the one who often plays as devil's advocate when he finds Kurt's plans to be dangerous. Bonus points for being a literal Lancer, albeit not initially.
The Power of Friendship: He views them as his surrogate family, thus his primary motivation to keep them safe. This trait carries to his Personal Potentials.
Shipper on Deck: Perhaps. In Chapter 18, after chiding Kurt for his un-leader-like behavior, Felix casually told Riela to snap Kurt out of it. Twice.
Verbal Tic: Less pronounced than Imca since the trait is also shared with a few others, but he has a... particular manner of speech, such as pronouncing "nai" as "ne".

Leila Peron (Number 23)

Voiced by Umeka Shouji.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leila_peron_23.png

I'm going to build a world without war for you all!

Older sister of VC1's Homer and a domineering woman who calls herself "Queen." She has an overarching desire to toughen up every man in Gallia... and ended up at Squad 422 for "educating" an officer.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Lancer.

Action Girl: Not only is she a dominatrix, she backs it up with being a badass in a fight.
Catchphrase: "Kyouiku!" ^noteTranslation: "I'll educate you!"
Determinator: She intends to "toughen up" every man, including Maximilian, in order to put a quick end to the war.
Dominatrix: Complete with a riding crop. This may explain Homer.
Early-Bird Cameo: She busts into the scene during Edy and Homer's milestone 100th article for the Valkyria Chronicles Blog.
Hair-Trigger Temper: She even has a Personal Potential called "Irritable" that triggers every time she is surrounded by enemies. In her own way, she dislikes war.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Her domineering personality stems from her genuine desire to toughen up the weak-willed Homer. Unfortunately she went overboard, got banished to the Nameless for setting her sights on an officer... and produced a masochist.
- In the OVA, she comforts a child who managed to escape her Imperial-infested village.
Kick The Son Of A Bitch: The officer she educated before getting herself hauled to the Nameless wasn't exactly a pleasant person.
Whip of Dominance: Leila always has a riding crop on her and is a strict and domineering woman who calls herself "Queen". She wants to discipline and educate the Gallian soldiers, which got her in trouble because she has this attitude even towards her superiors. Many of the men in her unit end up being lashed by her, though Alfons Auclair is her most common whipping boy, and he doesn't seem to mind it.

Annika Alcott (Number 24)

Voiced by Misaki Maruyama.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/annika_alcott_24.png

True strength cannot be achieved without body and soul!

An energetic girl who gets into a lot of fights, and ended up among the Nameless for beating a rogue senseless.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Fencer.

Action Girl: She was already one long before she became "Number 24".
Alliterative Name: Annika Alcott. Not in her katakana-written name, though.
Boisterous Bruiser: She believes that she's some kind of hero, and it shows.
The Lad-ette: Most often seen either 1) fighting, or 2) training for fighting.
Odd Friendship: With Imca. After the former rescued the later from a tough situation (one that she herself caused), Annika looks to Imca with more respect and admiration, even if Imca barely cares.
Stripperiffic: She isn't showing off her middle but her military uniform is quite unprofessional.
Took a Level in Kindness: After some life lessons, she realize that kindness is as important as hard power. Well, it's not like she was some kind of jerk before this.
Trademark Favorite Food: Like Largo, veggies are her favorite.

Cedric Drake (Number 25)

Voiced by Masato Obara.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cedric_drake_25.png

Can you imagine the world's worst criminal becoming the world's greatest hero? What a laugh!

A notorious criminal drafted into Squad 422 for repeated counts of theft and murder, among other things.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Gunner.

Ax-Crazy: And his favored classes are Shocktrooper and Gunner. The only thing missing is him telling the enemies to say hello to his little friend.
The Gadfly: He enjoys messing with Ada a bit too much.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Of the cool, badass variety.
Insane Troll Logic: He believes that if killing one in the alleyway makes him a murderer, killing hundreds in the battlefield will make him a hero.
- He actually doesn't like war, but not for the reason most people have. Being in war means he's a hero, and he doesn't like being a good person. Go figures.
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He's also known as "Crime King Cedric".
Politically Incorrect Villain: He's a Darcsen hater. Being the only one in the squad that doesn't change his mind in the course of the game, is easily notorious.
Serial Killer: One of the many things that brought him to the Nameless.
Ship Tease: With Ada, whose dogged determination to send him to death row intrigues him to no end. Also, in its own twisted way, Carisa's Fragment mission runs with this between him and Ada, although Cedric is mostly trolling her.
Sociopathic Soldier: About the only guy who grins when he kills.
"How many does this make?"
Token Evil Teammate: While a few others probably come close, Cedric is by far the most irredeemable member of the Nameless, since he serves to show what a real criminal would be.

Gisele Fleming (Number 26)

Voiced by Haruka Terui.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gisele_fleming_26.png

I can smell the gunpowder on the wind...

A pyromaniac sent to the Nameless for repeated counts of arson.

Preferred classes: Shocktrooper (starting class), Fencer.

Action Girl: By virtue of having her preferred classes a shocktrooper and a fencer.
Bird Run: One of her character pop-up portrait is this pose.
Chekhov's Skill: Her pyromania (and consequently her knowledge with anything fire-related) ultimately helped the Nameless defuse a series of incendiary traps set up by the Imperials for them during a town assault.
Cloudcuckoolander: Downplayed. She does talk to fire like it's a person, but apart from that she tends to act fairly sensibly.
Cute and Psycho: She's a cute girl and even has a pair of yellow hair ribbons. She also happens to be a pyromaniac who giggles as she guns enemies down.
Evil Laugh: Actually does this in support fires, making her look like Cedric. Otherwise, she settles with giggling or just saying "Goodbye" when she attacks on her own.
Friendless Background: Growing up in a orphanage, she had a hard time making friends due to her intellect. The only "friend" she has are the flames she creates.
Glass Cannon: Her preferred classes are Shocktrooper and Fencer, and she has Personal Potentials those raise her anti-personnel damage. Like Serge, however, she suffers from low HP and Frail Body Potential.
Loners Are Freaks: She's never had any human friends, and is the only member of the Nameless to completely lack any affinities.
Pyromaniac: Which is why she ended up as "Number 26".
The Quiet One: Despite her nature, she is a soft-spoken individual.
Sociopathic Hero: She doesn't care about how the fires she starts affect other people, and also fails to understand the hatred her comrades have for a particularly murderous group of Imperial soldiers. A strange respect for Kurt is pretty much the only thing keeping her in check.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: According to the artbook, she's afraid of dogs.

The meal is mightier than the sword! I am right?

A former chef banished to the Nameless for stealing rare food ingredients from a high-ranking officer.

Preferred classes: Lancer (starting class), Engineer

Berserk Button: Do not waste food. Do not reject food offered in good will to you. Some Gallian soldiers learn this the hard way when they refuse food offered by a Darcssen village, saying that "they are above such food".
The Caretaker: Shares this role with Felix.
Casanova Wannabe: Complete with "-chan" honorific for the female squadmates. He still has long way to go before he can successfully woo them, though.
Female Gaze: In Felix's Fragment, the event CG gives quite a focus on his ass. This becomes more apparent during the credits where a cut of each characters' event CG is shown.
Flat "What": One of his expressions, and boy does it show up often.
The Medic: One of his favored class is Engineer.
Not So Above It All: He often plays as Only Sane Man for the group, as shown in Carisa's and Ilmari's stories. He is also just as quirky as his squadmates the rest of the time, especially once food is involved.
Over-the-Shoulder Carry: On the receiving end of this upon being rescued by Felix in the latter's Fragment mission.
Serious Business: Cooking and food in general is one for him. Some of his lines won't be far off from food, and at one point Gusurg ruins his and Kurt's Cooking Duel, he is not amused.
Those Two Guys: Almost always seen together, sometimes along with Serge or Alfons.
Walking the Earth: After the war ended, he travels in search of new flavors... and a girlfriend. He still hasn't found one for the latter, though.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: At least, judging from his reaction upon encountering a snake in Felix's chapter.
