The leader of the Apostles, sigil-bound to the leader of the Archangels, Sandalphon.
----
* AntiDebuff: When she uses her skill "Tactical Skewer" while having "Purification Protocol" she can remove all afflictions from herself.
* {{BFS}}: She wields a katana that's larger than she is.
* BadassBookworm: She's knowledgeable in alchemy and a brilliant tactician while also being deadly with a blade.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:In ''Faith Forsaken: Part One'', she is revealed to be the older stepsister of Origa, separated many years ago. While their conversation ends on a dismissive note, it's downplayed in the end, as Origa was genuinely happy to see her sister again.]]
* ChessMotifs: Her skills are named for chess tactics and moves. Her Japanese name "Quinn" is even a homophone for "queen," which among other things is a name for a chess piece. Well her English name "Regina" is Latin for "queen" also.
* DubNameChange: Her Japanese name is "Quinn".
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Sandalphon's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes) but gives her the "Preservation Protocol" effect by default. After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her have all three effects of "Preservation Protocol", "Restoration Protocol" and "Purification Protocol".
* HealThyself: When she uses her skill "Tactical Skewer" while having "Restoration Protocol" she can restore her own HP.
* TheLeader: She serves as the leader of the Apostles.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She's the shortest of the apostles, but she's their leader for a good reason. [[TheGadfly Nevin]] naturally pokes fun at this.
* StanceSystem: Her ability "Sandalphon's Covenant" let's her cycle in 1.5 seconds intervals between "Preservation Protocol", "Restoration Protocol" and "Purification Protocol" effects when she Force Charges while the "Locked Sigil" debuff is in effect. The three buffs affect which additional effect that her skill "Tactical Skewer" has.
* StatusEffects: With her "Imperial Castling" skill, she is capable of not only inflicting opponents with frostbite, but also two of any other ailment that does DamageOverTime bar bleeding (this also excludes ailments such as stun, sleep, bog and blind). Not only that, but her damage output increases on enemies inflicted with any status ailment. This makes her a fantastic choice against Surtr, as his Scorching Shield mechanic requires the affliction of multiple DamageOverTime afflictions.

----
[[AC:Regular]]
* BrilliantButLazy: He's no slouch in battle and has a tactical mind that he's able to figure out where the wroth has been coming from, but he prefers to let Pinon do the work. One Front Screen quote has him outright say he's more of an "ideas man."
* TheCameo: Appears in Ryszarda's story to help [[ClearMyName clear her name]].
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Has a Sigil with Ramiel which means if one is killed so is the other.
* ChurchMilitant: He's an Apostle of the Church, meaning he works for the Angels who are agents of the Goddess Ilia.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: ''Dragalia Life'' # 283 reveals he had a chuuni phase trying to imitate his "father," Ramiel when he was younger, much to his embarrassment.
* HealThyself: Instead of inflicting damage, his Force Strike heals himself when charging.[[note]]This makes Wyrmprints that have the abilities "Force Strike" or "Striker's Strength" mostly useless. Those with "Force Charge" are a bit more useful.[[/note]]
* InSeriesNickname: He likes to call himself "Papa Bear."
* TheLancer: He is this among the Apostles, being the most experienced one next to Regina, and also is the one who trains the newer recruits.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:He ends up crying when he reunites with the resurrected Ramiel in ''Faith Forsaken,'' something which Ramiel is very quick to tease him about.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: He may be young and handsome but is actually on the older side of the Apostles as he states in one of his Collection Portrait voice lines.
-> "Sure, I'm young and handsome but I'm actually on the older side among apostles. THAT'S why I train the newblood."
* PeekABangs: Has his hair cover one eye.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: One of his home screen quotes is that he plays chess.
-> "Chess is fun, but it's also a great way to train your mind for real-world tactics."
* SweetTooth: He has a hunger for sweets as one of his home screen quotes shows.

* ReluctantGift: His Adventure Story is about him trying to give Ramiel a Dragonyule gift to show his feelings but is so EmotionallyTongueTied that he CannotSpitItOut and ended up giving up on presenting it when Dragonyule passed and tossed it away. Ramiel finds it when he went to clean Nevin's room.
* {{Sequel}}: This is Nevin after the events of ''Faith Forsaken''.

----
* AnIcePerson: Her first skill "Sanctus Arrow" can inflict Frostbite.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She is the youngest of the Apostles. As revealed in Gabriel's Dragon Story, she got the Sigil even before she was born in order to be born.
* BornFromADeadWoman: Pinon's mother was pregnant with her when she died. Gabriel sensed her still living in the womb and formed the pact until she was able to come to term.
* TheCameo: She appears in Ryszarda's story giving Nevin a WhatTheHellHero for his part in it.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Having a Sigil with Gabriel, if either one is killed so does the other.
* ChargedAttack: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant" gives her a unique 2 level charging Force Strike which when fully charged [[InjuredVulnerability does more damage to frostbitten enemies]] and decreases the remaining time of the "Locked Sigil" debuff by 9-13 seconds.
* TheChick: She is this among the Apostles, being the youngest and newest of them.
* ChurchMilitant: Is one of the Apostles who act as agents of the Goddess Ilia.
* CryCute: [[spoiler:Pinon completely breaks down crying after reuniting with the resurrected Gabriel in ''Faith Forsaken.'']]
* ExtraParentConception: In Gabriel's Dragon Story, it is revealed that she was born from the womb of the corpse of her mother Pirene who was the previous apostle who had a Sigil with Gabriel. Pinon was able to be safely born due to Gabriel making a Sigil with the premature in-womb child.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: With the Apostles being the enemies of the Sinister Dominion, Pinon actually happens to perform very well in Master Lilith. Not because she's a meta pick, but because the mechanics of the fight lets Pinon enter the fight with a mostly or even completely unlocked sigil [[note]] since the water team joins in the second half, and the sigil counts down from the start of the quest means it's counting down while the light team is fighting [[/note]], effectively removing her biggest weakness.
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes). After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her do a SpamAttack after a normal combo that [[LifeDrain heals for 5% of the damage inflicted]] and gives a 40% chance of increasing her energy level.
* HairWings: Has wing-like rabbit ears on the top of her head.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: According to ''Dragalia Life'' #282 her voice is so bad that she was banned from singing.
* InjuredVulnerability: Her fully charged Force Strike can do more damage to frostbitten enemies.
%%* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: She is a muticharge Force Striker, her Force Strikes can have a Frostbite Punisher effect, she starts with a debuff
* SpamAttack: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant", after getting the "Sigil Released" effect, let's her do one after doing a standard attack combo. It is done manually by the player by tapping the screen after the combo and after one of the previous part of the spam attack.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Back when she idolized Basileus, she secretly followed him in an effort to learn more about him to be like him. The lack of info she got from doing so along with him revealing to be aware only made her more curious about him.

'''Debut:''' Divine Deception
One of the Apostles of the North Ilian Church. She's a shy girl but underneath that timid personality is powerful strength. Her Sigil bound angel is Raphael.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Asks for forgiveness when debuffing an enemy or when a boss enters a Break State.
* ApologizesALot: From minor slights to getting scared by a bird to ''unlocking her skills,'' her automatic response to most things relating to her is to apologize profusely.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I'm stronger now! ...Er, sorry.
* TheBigGirl: She's this among the Apostles, being the tallest and the most physically powerful of them. Ramiel even notes that only [[TheAce Basileus and Nevin]] can contend with Ryszarda when at her full potential.
* BoobsOfSteel: Has the largest bust of the women from the North Illian Apostles seen so far and is one of their strongest.
* CharacterTic: Even accounting for her height, Ryszarda admits her perpetual slouch is this, though she straightens out when wielding a weapon.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I know that I hunch my back, but it's a hard habit to break.
* ClearMyName: Her Character Story is about how she's framed for the murder of a priest.
* TheCoatsAreOff: Her portrait depicts her taking off her uniform. In stories, her art switches from her demure slouching to this in action moods, and during gameplay, her model changes to have her coat removed when she unlocks her Sigil.
* CowardlyLion: She's one of the biggest, strongest Apostles, but she's a total coward and she knows it.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her skin is dark and her hair is white.
* DeathFakedForYou: Nevin fakes her death so she can gather evidence to clear her name.
* DubNameChange: In the Japanese version her name is "Liza."
* TheEeyore: She's a pessimist with almost no confidence in herself and just can't let herself look past that, even apologizing when she shows joy or surprise from improving her performance.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I've always been more cowardly than anyone else I know—and I've always detested that fact. This time was no different. All I could think to do was run like the scaredy-cat I am...and that's what I did. I loathe the spineless woman I see in the mirror. Day after day, I search desperately for something I can cling to, forever holding back my tears.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Comments on the home screen that she's always able to get along well with animals.
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Raphael's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes) and gives her a unique non-damaging Force Strike that grants the "Raphael's Steel" effect. After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her do a SpamAttack after a normal combo that charges up to thee stages. When fully charged also let's the attack have a StatusBuffDispel.
* GentleGiant: She doesn't like to fight if she can help it.
* HealThyself: She can do this with her second skill "Lentils Oracle".
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She has a pretty low opinion on herself, as evident during the Third Anniversary.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' Three years already? I can’t believe you still want someone like me with you! But, thank you!
-->'''Ryszarda:''' Faris and Pinon are quite dependable, aren't they? Me on the other hand...
* HyperAwareness: Her intuition is unmatched; it's because of this that she's able to avoid certain doom in her Adventurer Story.
* InnerMonologue: Her Adventurer Story has her thoughts written like this, [[HeroicSelfDeprecation and they're quite scathing towards herself.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: Even if she's a pessimist who'd rather run from her fears and avoid fights, she'll readily jump at the call to fulfill her duty as an Apostle.
* LimitedWardrobe: Grateful for the uniform made for her, as she acknowledges that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome her size makes it hard to find fitting clothing.]]
* TheNoseKnows: Her nose is sharp enough to pick up scents, like the frankincense incense from the church that was on a villager that showed he was working with the Bishop.
* PowerFist: Her 3D model shows that over her gloves she is equipped with spiked knuckle dusters.
* {{Prequel}}: Her story is set before ''Divine Deception.''
* PrimalFear: Admits to being terrified of the dark.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's definitely the tallest female on the roster, even when she slouches. The only time she stands up straight is when she has a weapon in her hand. ''Dragalia Life'' #327 shows that she is taller than Mym even when getting in position with Nadine for a selfie.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' [[LampshadeHanging Apparently, I don't hunch over when I have my weapon at the ready. Curious, don't you think?]]
* SubvertedCatchPhrase: Spins the Apostle declration early into her Adventurer Story.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' In the name of the Goddess, I... [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm getting out of here!]]
* SuperStrength: She's already naturally strong, but being bound to the angel Raphael makes her even stronger. For example, it allows her to till what's essentially a dead field into fertile soil.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's the Huge Girl next to Faris's Tiny Guy. Though, it isn't that he's ''that'' short, but her sheer size makes everyone else seem small next to her.

'''Debut:''' Divine Deception
An Apostle of the Ilian Church. His Sigil bound angel is Uriel.
----
* AnimalEyeSpy: The lizard on Faris's shoulder is revealed to be Uriel's extra pair of "eyes."
-->'''Faris:''' "This thing serves as Uriel's eyes, so he can always watch over me."
* AntiRoleModel: At the end of his Adventurer Story, Pinon views him as this. She acknowledge his perfectionism and resolve to do what he must as an apostle but she doesn't want to be like him if it means giving up her humanity.
* CharacterTic: He constantly grades people's actions, as well as his own. It's a habit he picked up from his "father" Uriel.
* CounterAttack: His unique Force Strike let's him dodge and do this if he gets attacked when he is charging it.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite his portrait showing him with both a manacaster and dagger, he's only ever a manacaster unit.
* HighCollarOfDoom: He wears one of these not only to look intimidating, but also to guard his emotions. ''Dragalia Life'' #328 has him literally shrink into it from the weirdness of the Halidom after seeing Gloom Drake in his pot and Xander in his literal dog house.
* {{Matricide}}: Faris does this to the Mother of his Orphanage when it's revealed she was selling orphans to an unknown organization, then tried to kill him from behind.
* ParrotPetPosition: He has a lizard perched on his shoulder.
* ThePerfectionist: He has to make sure every action he does from combat to detective work is utterly perfect.
* TheSmartGuy: He is this among the Apostles, being the one who analyzes the situation and strives for perfection.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: He's the Tiny Guy next to Ryszarda's Huge Girl.
* WeHaveReserves: He believes this is his fate as an Apostle no matter how many missions he does in Ilia's name.
-->"Apostles are expendable, so I must improve enough to become indispensable."
* WellDoneSonGuy: He works hard to earn his "father" Uriel's approval.
-->"I would do anything for Uriel's approval. It is the only life I know."

'''Debut:''' Divine Deception [NPC], Faith Forsaken (Part 2) [Playable]
A member of the apostles who betrayed them to aid Loki in reviving Satan to stop the Progenitor. In finding out he had been tricked though, he works with the apostles once more to undo the damage he had done.
For tropes during his time as an antagonist, [[Characters/DragaliaLostAntagonistsCampaign look here]].
----
* TheAtoner: Basileus has deep regrets with most of what he had done, aside from getting his revenge on Graht, which he considered WorthIt. He works to undo his wrongdoings while accepting any punishment afterwards.
* BlowYouAway: He is the Wind-elemental Apostle, sigil-bound to the Wind archangel Michael.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: PlayedForLaughs in Dragalia Life #400, where he's on the receiving end of this from Luca, who repeatedly bops him in the face with his ears, but won't allow Basileus to pet them.
* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. While it seems like he eventually rejoins the Apostles without issue in the second half of Faith Forsaken, it turns out he's later scheduled to have Michael transferred to another Apostle once everything has settled down, which is effectively a death sentence.
* KungFuWizard: He's notably the first wand-wielder to have a completely different playstyle and effects depending on whether he's up close or far away from the enemy. When his sigil is released, both playstyles and their effects unify as one.
* MagicStaff: He wields a wand in battle to channel his wind magic.
* {{Prequel}}: His adventurer story takes place before his betrayal of the apostles.
* RebuiltPedestal: Averted. Even though Basileus is back to working with the apostles, no amount of praise gets Pinon to forgive him for what he had done.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He is this among the Apostles, as the traitor who betrayed them.

The leader of the Archangels. She is sigil bound to Regina.
----
* BigSisterWorship: She speaks highly of her big sister Metatron and especially the work she's done, which is something she sees a lot in Regina.
* CombatMedic: Sandalphon is primarily a healer when she isn't shapeshifted, but her unique shapeshift grants her damaging abilities that can also heal her allies.
* TheComicallySerious: She's a matter-of-fact, unexpressive and serious leader with robotic, Spock-like mannerisms, no matter the situation. This includes when she's going off on how much she loves honey on a logistics level or when discussing Halloween.
--> '''Sandalphon''' Halloween: Treats or tricks? Choosing between two options is inefficient.
* DifficultButAwesome: Sandalphon has a number of simultaneous systems at work that can be tricky for a player to manage. Successfully doing so yields a powerful CombatMedic capable of shredding any endgame boss with minimal damage to the team; Surtr in particular fears her because she can brute-force heal through most of what he can throw at them, on top of atomizing his defenses. [[note]]Celestial Casting with three stacks of Rapid Analysis equals eight stacks of Fiery Resistance ''gone''; not even Regina or Emile can boast that. You will need a dispeller for Daybreak Restoration, however.[[/note]] She is just as bonkers in the Kaleidoscape, to the point that giving her a dispel weapon enables her to take on literally anything the mode can throw at her, as long as the player can juggle everything at once well enough.
* DullSurprise: Her only expression is a fairly blank stare, though her pupils do all the talking on that front.
* EmotionlessGirl: Subverted. She looks and generally acts the part, but the vivid array of symbols her pupils take to show her emotions and some of her other mannerisms, such as her obsession with honey, indicate otherwise. This is especially relevant for her Adventurer Story, insisting it's entirely for practical reasons why she holds Regina in such a high regard as a leader.
* GenderFlip: The angel Sandalphon in Judeo-Christian lore is male, however, this incarnation is female.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Her unique accent color is yellow on top of the gold present among all the Archangels, and is their leader.
* LivingMoodRing: Her face is just short of being totally inexpressive, her emotions instead being indicated by the shape her pupils take.[[note]]These include power symbols, horizontal lines/underscores, upside-down triangles, curves, Xs, exclamation points, hearts, tear drops and thunderbolt symbols.[[/note]]
* MissionControl: Serves as this for the Archangels, communicating with them (sometimes with several of them at once) while they're out on their missions.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: She [[ExoticEyeDesigns has what looks like a power switch for pupils]], making her look quite robotic. Her pupils change shape depending on her mood.
* PromotedToPlayable: After serving as the non-playable leader of the archangels since their introduction, Sandalphon makes her playable debute in the finale of their story. Oddly enough though, she is the only archangel to be added as an adventurer rather than a dragon.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Speaks of Regina with even more faith than Metatron, noting her frequently as something of an even more capable version of her. This is discussed in her Adventurer Story, where Ramiel, Gabriel and Raphael take notice of her uncharacteristic blind faith in her which she tries to deny, before gradually learning to accept the view of Regina as her own individual and as [[TrueCompanions a partner]] instead.
* SpamAttack: She has the Skill Reservoir mechanic in the same vein as Gala Alex and Gala Audric, and being a healer, this allows her to spam her healing spells very quickly.
* SpockSpeak: Almost bordering on RoboSpeak at times, though she'll sometimes use more informal linguistics when off the battlefield. [[TheComicallySerious Not always, though.]]
--> '''Sandalphon:''' I must revise my assessment.
--> '''Sandalphon:''' Maximizing efficiency!
* StanceSystem: On top of healing her teammates, "Coordination Protocol" causes Sandalphon's skills to provide benefits to the team, whereas "Concentration Protocol" has them empower her dragonform. Sustaining a force charge for a second and a half switches the active protocol.
* SweetTooth: According to ''Dragalia Life'' #397, she loves honey.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As noted above, this extends to ingame, where she'll mention a few times just how much she loves honey.
--> '''Sandalphon:''' Honey is packed with nutrients and can be used in any dish. It is nature's perfect material.
* WingdingEyes: Her pupils are shaped like power symbols and can assume other shapes like triangles or exclamation points.

'''Debut:''' Agents of the Goddess
One of the five Archangels.
----
* AlternateSelf: Has two, both of which are hostile.
** Otherworld Ramiel, the evil self from ''Agents of the Goddess'' is bent on destroying the world through the miasma in his sealing stone.
** Fallen Angel Ramiel, the evil self from ''Rise of the Sinister Dominion'', is spreading his own miasma due to being used as a vessel for Lilith... and failing to contain her.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: In ''Dragalia Life'' #283, he reads one of Nevin's diary entries from when he was younger and exposes that his son was a {{Chuunibyou}}.
* BadassBookworm: An incredibly strong Dragon, Ramiel is also the most studious of the Archangels and uses flowery language to match.
-->"Books permit one to gain knowledge and pass it on. They represent the very best of your culture."
* {{Bishonen}}: Ramiel is a ''stunningly'' handsome dragon.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: Admits in his Dragon Story that he was starting to get a hang of raising Nevin, likely the start of him starting to view humans a bit more favorably.
-->"Yet all the while, watching Nevin grow through my labors caused a curious feeling to blossom within me. It was not unlike a sense of accomplishment combined with a deep sigh of utter exhaustion. It was my first taste of it in my centuries of existence, and it was not entirely unpleasant. Perhaps that was why I came to find that somewhere along the way, raising Nevin had almost become...fun."
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Black coffee, befitting him being the calm (if snarky) analyst of the Archangels.
* {{Expy}}: Physically bears some resemblance to Arch-Seraph Lucifer from ''Rage of Bahamut'', who also appeared as a dragon in ''Dragalia Lost''’s precursor, ''Knights of Glory'' and ''Granblue Fantasy''.
* GoodCopBadCop: When Nevin and Ramiel interrogate a crook, Ramiel starts serving as the bad cop when the crook refuses to speak by threatening him and then telling Nevin to wait outside when the crook still refuses. Whatever Ramiel did, it gets the criminal talking.
* GoodWearsWhite: Ramiel is a [[DarkIsNotEvil shadow element]] dragon who dons a completely white uniform and aids the halidom party alongside his sigil-bound apostle, Nevin. In contrast, his evil duplicate, Otherworld Ramiel, is of the [[LightIsNotGood light element]] and [[EvilWearsBlack wears all black]], and his demon vessel copy, Fallen Angel Ramiel, wears [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver white and red]].
* HumansAreInsects: Ramiel considered humans as nothing more than short-lived insects and that his interests aligned with theirs at the time. Despite this..
* HumansAreSpecial: He does ponder from time to time if there is something that makes humans more than what their short lifespans imply.
* HurryingHomeForTheHolidays: Even though he already noted he was growing fonder of Nevin as time passed, the "A Gift from an Angel" Wyrmprint has him at his sweetest to make up for the past Dragonyules they missed being together for.
* KnightInSourArmor: No matter his view on humans, he will still work alongside them just fine in the name of Ilia.
* LivingLieDetector: Noted in his ''Dragalia Mini'' as being able to see through lies.
* NonElemental: When serving as a boss in "One Starry Dragonyule", he has no element.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: He is considered to be an archangel while also being called a dragon (though this distinction came from being one of five dragons who-according to the Church-can communicate directly with the Goddess Ilia). His art at least implies his humanoid form is akin to Mym's, and could adopt a different, more draconic form if he wished.
* ParentalSubstitute: He's this for Nevin, being his foster father along with his Sigil.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: His ''Dragalia Mini'' states he's blood type AB, in line with characterizations of AB being rational and calculating.
* ResentfulGuardian: At first, he was this to Nevin whom he was forced to be Sigil-bound to after his prior Apostle passed away unexpectedly, paired with his low view on humans and especially human children.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Engages in this pretty frequently with Nevin.
* ThisCannotBe: A heroic example for when he is beaten in "One Starry Dragonyule".
-->"This has proven to be a simply terrible Dragonyule."\\
"I'm sorry, Nevin."

'''Element:''' Water\\
'''Debut:''' Divine Deception
One of the five Archangels who is Sigil bound to the Apostle Pinon.
----
* BabyDollBaby: She carries around a Pinon-shaped doll in her arms named Little Pi.
* BarrierWarrior: A Water Adventurer equipped with Gabriel is this. Gabriel's Love is a shield that applies when the Adventurer is healed, giving them a one-use shield that boosts their strength and defense by up to 10% and 50% respectively, and can nullify damage by up to 10% of the user's maximum HP.
* CleavageWindow: She has a fairly low one that shows off her sizable chest.
* CombatMedic: Her third attack will provide a heal to the team. Her second Ability, Gabriel's Favor, also activates when a Water Adventurer using her is healed.
* {{Expy}}: She's almost a direct copy of ''Granblue Fantasy's'' Gabriel, both of them being powerful angelic beings of the Water element, with a very kind and motherly disposition towards their disciple.
* FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: Her "daughter" Pinon is the tomboy by keeping her hair short and wearing a suit compared to Gabriel who's a motherly figure.
* GenderFlip: The Judeo-Christian Angel Gabriel is portrayed as male, however this incarnation of him is female. Amusingly, this isn’t the first time Gabriel has appeared in a Cygames work being depicted as female, with the original from ''Rage of Bahamut'' being female, as well as the incarnation from ''Granblue Fantasy''. She also shares in common being a water-based entity with the latter.
* GoodParents: She's the most serious about her role as a parental figure of all the Archangels - which is a good thing, given how well she treats her Apostles, or just about anyone given her insistence on calling them children.
* MartialPacifist: Her noted dislike is fighting, but she absolutely can and will show off her status as an Archangel.
--> '''Gabriel:''' There is no battlefield I would not brave for the sake of my little lady; [[MamaBear I am her Mama, after all.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: Downplayed. She ''can'' be quite overprotective from time to time towards Pinon but otherwise isn't that bad.
* NiceGirl: Telling that she has the most overtly positive reception from her Apostles over the years compared to the other Archangels, given how sweet and loving she is to almost everyone.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Are you tired? Perhaps a pat on the head will alleviate that.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Welcome, welcome! Might you care for some tea?
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Blood type A according to her ''Dragalia Mini'' profile, in line with the generalization of those with the same blood type being kind, patient and generally motherly if rather stubborn.
* PregnantBadass: Not her, but her former Apostle Pirene was pregnant with Pinon in Gabriel's Dragon Story when she sacrificed her life to re-seal one of the Archdemons.
* TeamMom: Being the most into the parent-child relationship dynamic of her peers, she's this to both the Apostles and her fellow Angels, especially to her daughters, Pirene and Pinon.
* TogetherInDeath: Pirene and her husband both died sealing away an Archdemon in a sealing stone.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's definitely the girly girl next to Raphael's tomboy among the Archangels.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Not immediately apparent but she does have a slight blue tint to her white hair, with more obvious spots of blue on her true form.
* TrueCompanions: Her former Apostles were noted to have considered her one, with Pirene in particular calling her such as her last words. This hit hard for Gabriel, who came to especially value friendship just as much as familial love, such as in the case of Pirene's daughter, Pinon.
* WaterIsWomanly: As the Water Element Archangel and their resident TeamMom, this is a given.
* WeAreAsMayflies: Acknowledges how short lived humans are by comparison, which in the case of the Apostles, she counteracts with her love if she can help it. For added irony, Pinon - her own Apostle - is the only non-human, and a [[LongLived Sylvan]] at that.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Compared to angels, human life is fleeting—which is exactly why I shower my love onto the apostles.

* BigGuyLittleGuy: Compared to her partner Ryszarda, she's the Little Guy! She stands at 170cm, which is 5'6 compared to Ryszarda being a good foot taller than her.
* CombatMedic: Her skill "Raphael's Aid" heals Light-attuned characters with 108-132% recovery potency, and gives them a 30-second defense buff. She also believes healers should be able to deal damage just as much as healing.
-->"It's best for healer types to have some combat prowess—makes treating injuries in battle easier."
* CuteLittleFangs: She's got a prominent snaggletooth.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Like her Apostle, she's dark skinned and has white hair.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared in a ''Dragalia Mini'' before her official in-game debut.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: She is able to be summoned since June 2021 but her canon first meeting with the Halidom's Prince happened in the ''Asura's Blinding Light'' section of ''Rise of the Sinister Dominion'' that released on July 2021.
* GenderFlip: Her Biblical version is male.
* GenkiGirl: Compared to all the other Archangels and the Apostles, she's easily the most upbeat and cheerful.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: In Ryszarda's Chapter 5, she relays through Sandalphon that "I'M the only one allowed to CHUCK my little one off a cliff."
* LethalChef: As her ''Dragalia Mini'' shows, she loves to cook and bake, but insists on adding tons of sweet flour to ''everything'' to make it taste better.
* NiceGirl: Far and away one of the most social and friendly characters in the game, both her becoming an Archangel and her CombatMedic role being in part of this. Her Dragon Story notes her as an "angel of mercy" after all, and a lot of her dialogue is mention of how she wants to help the world out.
* OriginsEpisode: Her Dragon Story shows how she became the first Archangel.
* OutdoorsyGal: Raphael loves traveling, especially for the purpose of meeting and helping those in need, which she compares to as her prayers.
-->"Got an hour or twelve to spare hearing about my travels?"
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Listed as blood type O, in line with associations of blood type O belonging to outgoing and friendly people.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: She's named after one of the Archangels of the Old Testament.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to all the male Archangels really, but most especially [[SternTeacher Uriel]], given their Apostles, Ryszarda and Faris, are partners.
* SuperSpeed: According to her ''Dragalia Mini,'' she can jump rope at 300,000 km/s, or 186,000 miles/s.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl:
** Between Archangels, she's the outgoing and boyish one to the motherly, doting Gabriel. For added points, she doesn't subscribe as much to the parent-child relationship comparatively as much, [[TeamMom compared to her]].
** She's this as well to her timid and gentle Apostle, Ryszarda.
-->"I value Ryszarda's sensitivity and timidity, 'cause those things are definitely not me."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate, as described after her bond is pushed up past level 10.

'''Debut:''' Rise of the Sinister Dominion [NPC], A Dazzling Defense [Playable]
Faris's sigil-bound Archangel.
----
* BadassArmfold: His default stance, primarily in his NPC portrait or his idle animation.
* TheBigGuy: Even for a humanoid Dragon, he's ''huge,'' the character with the tallest known height at 6'3. He's also arguably the most combative Archangel besides Raphael.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The big guy to his Apostle, Faris.
* CoolTeacher: Though generally a SternTeacher, Uriel is still ultimately a kind man who's willing to be constructive and helpful to those under his guidance, and is capable of handing out a few PetTheDog moments.
--> '''Uriel:''' Well, now. It appears you will be a joy to discipline.
* EvolvingAttack: Uriel's Zeal can be powered up to three levels, increasing a Flame Adventurer's strength by up to 30% and their chance to inflict Scorchrend by up to 80%, but in turn the stronger levels last much less long.
* FemaleGaze: His muscular chest is prominently outlined by his outfit.
* TheFettered: He believes greatly in the power of law and order to enable humanity to work together and overcome their flaws and challenges, if his words towards his fallen counterpart say anything. His Roost quotes also speak highly of order, although he does well to prevent himself from treading too far into KnightTemplar territory.
* FireIsMasculine: The Flame Element Archangel is also the most masculine of all the Archangels.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a strongly built, powerful Archangel in human form with the personality of a strict college professor and a fondness for reading.
--> '''Uriel:''' Reading imparts knowledge and comfort. [[PetTheDog In fact, I often used to read to Faris.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: He takes his duties very seriously, and has also criticized Faris for having his moments of being too soft, but admits that the kindness he has because of that is a respectable quality in of itself.
--> '''Uriel:''' It's not hard to judge or punish. But {{forgiveness}}? Now that is a difficult thing indeed.
--> '''Uriel:''' Faris is too soft... But because of that, he does possess a kindness I lack.
* {{Hunk}}: In contrast to Michael and Ramiel, Uriel is well muscled and still very easy on the eyes.
* LovesSecrecy: Inverted. His noted dislike is people being secretive towards him.
* NotSoAboveItAll: His noted specialty in his ''Dragalia Mini'' is "Acchi Muite Hoi," a Japanese children's game where, after a round of RPS, the winner makes the loser look somewhere and tries to give them a light punishment (like a slap).
* ThePerfectionist: He tends to "grade" others' actions, including docking points for poor judgements and decisions. He does put himself to the same standards as well. [[LikeFatherLikeSon It's pretty clear where Faris gets his behavior from.]]
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Shares blood type A with Gabriel, fitting another generalization of the blood type: Reserved, highly organized perfectionists.
* PromotedToPlayable: He was introduced at the same time as Iblis, but he didn't see playability until "A Dazzling Defense" which came out well after "Faith Forsaken" had passed.
* SternTeacher: He's had other pupils beside Faris, but they weren't able to handle his TrainingFromHell nor his constant no-nonsense attitude. He even believed that given Faris a break from his strict teachings would be nothing but a detriment toward his development to becoming a perfect apostle.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hinomoto cuisine in general.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: In his Dragon Story, he realizes that Faris' motivation to work even harder despite failing to meet Uriel's expectations at first where others faltered in response was one of [[WellDoneSonGuy sentimental attachment to Uriel]], which Uriel initially deemed as unnecessary for an ideal apostle, but acknowledging its part in Faris' {{Determinator}} attitude begins to show Uriel that such potential wasn't necessarily measurable by objective qualities alone, and humbling him toward a much more constructive and healthy relationship with his apostle.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: His Skill, Angelic Blaze, draws nearby enemies into his attack.

Tropes for his time as an antagonist can be found in [[Characters/DragaliaLostAntagonistsCampaign Campaign Antagonists]].
----
* TheAtoner: Like Basileus, Michael is remorseful for those he had hurt following their release of Satan.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: He implies himself to be the very same Michael that was Jeanne's patron in VideoGame/RageOfBahamut.
* EasilyForgiven: Likely due to his status as an archangel; compared to Basileus essentially awaiting death row, Michael in the grand scheme of things just has a shift in coworkers. Even he's surprised that otherwise things aren't too bad for him.
-->"I am amazed at Gabriel's goodness. I betrayed her, yet she continues to invite me for tea nonetheless."
* GatheringSteam: Michael's Favor increases a Wind Adventurer's strength by 3% up to ten times for every 15-hit combo. Eased up too as Michael extends the combo counter timer by 2.5 seconds.
* MagicalGuide: Of the archangels, he falls into this category the most overtly, as evident with Basileus over the course of Faith Forsaken.
** Notably, one of his Dragon Roost quotes reveals he was this to Jeanne before she became a Dragon; [[ShownTheirWork much like the one in history proper.]]
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's around the same height as Gabriel and the only other archangel shorter than their apostle (and in Raphael's defense, Ryszarda is huge), it's played with as rather than being highly intelligent like Uriel or Ramiel, Michael instead perhaps has the most wisdom of them.
* StanceSystem: While shapeshifted, Michael creates a combat zone that switches his combat style and how Angelic Storm works; from close quarters, inflicting Poison and giving the team a defense amp, or ranged which inflicts Stormlash and gives the team overdamage, depending on if there are enemies in the combat zone or not.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:In ''Faith Forsaken: Part One'', she is revealed to be the older stepsister of Origa, separated many years ago. While their conversation ends on a dismissive note, it's downplayed in the end, as Origa was genuinely happy to see her sister again.]]
* ChessMotifs: Her skills are named for chess tactics and moves. Her Japanese name "Quinn" is even a homophone for "queen," which among other things is a name for a chess piece. Well her English name "Regina" is Latin for "queen" also.
* DubNameChange: Her Japanese name is "Quinn".
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Sandalphon's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes) but gives her the "Preservation Protocol" effect by default. After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her have all three effects of "Preservation Protocol", "Restoration Protocol" and "Purification Protocol".
* HealThyself: When she uses her skill "Tactical Skewer" while having "Restoration Protocol" she can restore her own HP.
* TheLeader: She serves as the leader of the Apostles.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: She's the shortest of the apostles, but she's their leader for a good reason. [[TheGadfly Nevin]] naturally pokes fun at this.
* StanceSystem: Her ability "Sandalphon's Covenant" let's her cycle in 1.5 seconds intervals between "Preservation Protocol", "Restoration Protocol" and "Purification Protocol" effects when she Force Charges while the "Locked Sigil" debuff is in effect. The three buffs affect which additional effect that her skill "Tactical Skewer" has.
* StatusEffects: With her "Imperial Castling" skill, she is capable of not only inflicting opponents with frostbite, but also two of any other ailment that does DamageOverTime bar bleeding (this also excludes ailments such as stun, sleep, bog and blind). Not only that, but her damage output increases on enemies inflicted with any status ailment. This makes her a fantastic choice against Surtr, as his Scorching Shield mechanic requires the affliction of multiple DamageOverTime afflictions.

An Apostle of the Northern Ilian Church, he and Pinon are dispatched along with Ramiel to find and secure several stolen holy relics.
\\\
During one Dragonyule, he dons some warm clothes to investigate the holiday's origin.
----
[[AC:Regular]]
* BrilliantButLazy: He's no slouch in battle and has a tactical mind that he's able to figure out where the wroth has been coming from, but he prefers to let Pinon do the work. One Front Screen quote has him outright say he's more of an "ideas man."

* CantLiveWithoutYou: Has a Sigil with Ramiel which means if one is killed so is the other.

* HealThyself: Instead of inflicting damage, his Force Strike heals himself when charging.[[note]]This makes Wyrmprints that have the abilities "Force Strike" or "Striker's Strength" mostly useless. Those with "Force Charge" are a bit more useful.[[/note]]
* InSeriesNickname: He likes to call himself "Papa Bear."
* TheLancer: He is this among the Apostles, being the most experienced one next to Regina, and also is the one who trains the newer recruits.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:He ends up crying when he reunites with the resurrected Ramiel in ''Faith Forsaken,'' something which Ramiel is very quick to tease him about.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: He may be young and handsome but is actually on the older side of the Apostles as he states in one of his Collection Portrait voice lines.
-> "Sure, I'm young and handsome but I'm actually on the older side among apostles. THAT'S why I train the newblood."
* PeekABangs: Has his hair cover one eye.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: One of his home screen quotes is that he plays chess.
-> "Chess is fun, but it's also a great way to train your mind for real-world tactics."
* SweetTooth: He has a hunger for sweets as one of his home screen quotes shows.
-> "All this thinking makes Papa Bear hungry for sweets...so somebody spoil me already!
* TrashOfTheTitans: ''Dragalia Life'' #389 shows that his room is the kind of filthy that it has a pixelated blur!

* DamageOverTime: His second skill "Vertex Apocalypse" can inflict Stormlash.
* {{Prequel}}: The first 3 episodes and beginning part of his 4th episode of his Adventure Story happens before ''One Starry Dragonyule'' event.
* ReluctantGift: His Adventure Story is about him trying to give Ramiel a Dragonyule gift to show his feelings but is so EmotionallyTongueTied that he CannotSpitItOut and ended up giving up on presenting it when Dragonyule passed and tossed it away. Ramiel finds it when he went to clean Nevin's room.
* {{Sequel}}: This is Nevin after the events of ''Faith Forsaken''.
** The latter part of his 4th episode and the whole of his 5th episode of his Adventure Story takes place after ''One Starry Dragonyule'' event.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She is the youngest of the Apostles. As revealed in Gabriel's Dragon Story, she got the Sigil even before she was born in order to be born.
* BornFromADeadWoman: Pinon's mother was pregnant with her when she died. Gabriel sensed her still living in the womb and formed the pact until she was able to come to term.
* TheCameo: She appears in Ryszarda's story giving Nevin a WhatTheHellHero for his part in it.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: Having a Sigil with Gabriel, if either one is killed so does the other.
* ChargedAttack: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant" gives her a unique 2 level charging Force Strike which when fully charged [[InjuredVulnerability does more damage to frostbitten enemies]] and decreases the remaining time of the "Locked Sigil" debuff by 9-13 seconds.
* TheChick: She is this among the Apostles, being the youngest and newest of them.
* ChurchMilitant: Is one of the Apostles who act as agents of the Goddess Ilia.

* ExtraParentConception: In Gabriel's Dragon Story, it is revealed that she was born from the womb of the corpse of her mother Pirene who was the previous apostle who had a Sigil with Gabriel. Pinon was able to be safely born due to Gabriel making a Sigil with the premature in-womb child.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: With the Apostles being the enemies of the Sinister Dominion, Pinon actually happens to perform very well in Master Lilith. Not because she's a meta pick, but because the mechanics of the fight lets Pinon enter the fight with a mostly or even completely unlocked sigil [[note]] since the water team joins in the second half, and the sigil counts down from the start of the quest means it's counting down while the light team is fighting [[/note]], effectively removing her biggest weakness.
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes). After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her do a SpamAttack after a normal combo that [[LifeDrain heals for 5% of the damage inflicted]] and gives a 40% chance of increasing her energy level.
* HairWings: Has wing-like rabbit ears on the top of her head.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: According to ''Dragalia Life'' #282 her voice is so bad that she was banned from singing.
* InjuredVulnerability: Her fully charged Force Strike can do more damage to frostbitten enemies.
%%* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: She is a muticharge Force Striker, her Force Strikes can have a Frostbite Punisher effect, she starts with a debuff
* SpamAttack: Her ability "Gabriel's Covenant", after getting the "Sigil Released" effect, let's her do one after doing a standard attack combo. It is done manually by the player by tapping the screen after the combo and after one of the previous part of the spam attack.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Back when she idolized Basileus, she secretly followed him in an effort to learn more about him to be like him. The lack of info she got from doing so along with him revealing to be aware only made her more curious about him.

'''Debut:''' Divine Deception
One of the Apostles of the North Ilian Church. She's a shy girl but underneath that timid personality is powerful strength. Her Sigil bound angel is Raphael.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Asks for forgiveness when debuffing an enemy or when a boss enters a Break State.
* ApologizesALot: From minor slights to getting scared by a bird to ''unlocking her skills,'' her automatic response to most things relating to her is to apologize profusely.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I'm stronger now! ...Er, sorry.
* TheBigGirl: She's this among the Apostles, being the tallest and the most physically powerful of them. Ramiel even notes that only [[TheAce Basileus and Nevin]] can contend with Ryszarda when at her full potential.
* BoobsOfSteel: Has the largest bust of the women from the North Illian Apostles seen so far and is one of their strongest.
* CharacterTic: Even accounting for her height, Ryszarda admits her perpetual slouch is this, though she straightens out when wielding a weapon.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I know that I hunch my back, but it's a hard habit to break.
* ClearMyName: Her Character Story is about how she's framed for the murder of a priest.
* TheCoatsAreOff: Her portrait depicts her taking off her uniform. In stories, her art switches from her demure slouching to this in action moods, and during gameplay, her model changes to have her coat removed when she unlocks her Sigil.
* CowardlyLion: She's one of the biggest, strongest Apostles, but she's a total coward and she knows it.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Her skin is dark and her hair is white.
* DeathFakedForYou: Nevin fakes her death so she can gather evidence to clear her name.
* DubNameChange: In the Japanese version her name is "Liza."
* TheEeyore: She's a pessimist with almost no confidence in herself and just can't let herself look past that, even apologizing when she shows joy or surprise from improving her performance.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' I've always been more cowardly than anyone else I know—and I've always detested that fact. This time was no different. All I could think to do was run like the scaredy-cat I am...and that's what I did. I loathe the spineless woman I see in the mirror. Day after day, I search desperately for something I can cling to, forever holding back my tears.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Comments on the home screen that she's always able to get along well with animals.
* GatheringSteam: Her ability "Raphael's Covenant" starts of by giving herself the "Locked Sigil" debuff that lasts for 300 seconds (5 minutes) and gives her a unique non-damaging Force Strike that grants the "Raphael's Steel" effect. After the debuff ends she gets the "Sigil Released" effect that lets her do a SpamAttack after a normal combo that charges up to thee stages. When fully charged also let's the attack have a StatusBuffDispel.
* GentleGiant: She doesn't like to fight if she can help it.
* HealThyself: She can do this with her second skill "Lentils Oracle".
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She has a pretty low opinion on herself, as evident during the Third Anniversary.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' Three years already? I can’t believe you still want someone like me with you! But, thank you!
-->'''Ryszarda:''' Faris and Pinon are quite dependable, aren't they? Me on the other hand...
* HyperAwareness: Her intuition is unmatched; it's because of this that she's able to avoid certain doom in her Adventurer Story.
* InnerMonologue: Her Adventurer Story has her thoughts written like this, [[HeroicSelfDeprecation and they're quite scathing towards herself.]]
* KnightInSourArmor: Even if she's a pessimist who'd rather run from her fears and avoid fights, she'll readily jump at the call to fulfill her duty as an Apostle.
* LimitedWardrobe: Grateful for the uniform made for her, as she acknowledges that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome her size makes it hard to find fitting clothing.]]
* TheNoseKnows: Her nose is sharp enough to pick up scents, like the frankincense incense from the church that was on a villager that showed he was working with the Bishop.
* PowerFist: Her 3D model shows that over her gloves she is equipped with spiked knuckle dusters.
* {{Prequel}}: Her story is set before ''Divine Deception.''
* PrimalFear: Admits to being terrified of the dark.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's definitely the tallest female on the roster, even when she slouches. The only time she stands up straight is when she has a weapon in her hand. ''Dragalia Life'' #327 shows that she is taller than Mym even when getting in position with Nadine for a selfie.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' [[LampshadeHanging Apparently, I don't hunch over when I have my weapon at the ready. Curious, don't you think?]]
* SubvertedCatchPhrase: Spins the Apostle declration early into her Adventurer Story.
-->'''Ryszarda:''' In the name of the Goddess, I... [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm getting out of here!]]
* SuperStrength: She's already naturally strong, but being bound to the angel Raphael makes her even stronger. For example, it allows her to till what's essentially a dead field into fertile soil.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's the Huge Girl next to Faris's Tiny Guy. Though, it isn't that he's ''that'' short, but her sheer size makes everyone else seem small next to her.

-->'''Faris:''' "This thing serves as Uriel's eyes, so he can always watch over me."
* AntiRoleModel: At the end of his Adventurer Story, Pinon views him as this. She acknowledge his perfectionism and resolve to do what he must as an apostle but she doesn't want to be like him if it means giving up her humanity.
* CharacterTic: He constantly grades people's actions, as well as his own. It's a habit he picked up from his "father" Uriel.
* CounterAttack: His unique Force Strike let's him dodge and do this if he gets attacked when he is charging it.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite his portrait showing him with both a manacaster and dagger, he's only ever a manacaster unit.

A member of the apostles who betrayed them to aid Loki in reviving Satan to stop the Progenitor. In finding out he had been tricked though, he works with the apostles once more to undo the damage he had done.
For tropes during his time as an antagonist, [[Characters/DragaliaLostAntagonistsCampaign look here]].
----
* TheAtoner: Basileus has deep regrets with most of what he had done, aside from getting his revenge on Graht, which he considered WorthIt. He works to undo his wrongdoings while accepting any punishment afterwards.
* BlowYouAway: He is the Wind-elemental Apostle, sigil-bound to the Wind archangel Michael.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: PlayedForLaughs in Dragalia Life #400, where he's on the receiving end of this from Luca, who repeatedly bops him in the face with his ears, but won't allow Basileus to pet them.
* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. While it seems like he eventually rejoins the Apostles without issue in the second half of Faith Forsaken, it turns out he's later scheduled to have Michael transferred to another Apostle once everything has settled down, which is effectively a death sentence.
* KungFuWizard: He's notably the first wand-wielder to have a completely different playstyle and effects depending on whether he's up close or far away from the enemy. When his sigil is released, both playstyles and their effects unify as one.
* MagicStaff: He wields a wand in battle to channel his wind magic.
* {{Prequel}}: His adventurer story takes place before his betrayal of the apostles.
* RebuiltPedestal: Averted. Even though Basileus is back to working with the apostles, no amount of praise gets Pinon to forgive him for what he had done.
* SixthRangerTraitor: He is this among the Apostles, as the traitor who betrayed them.

The leader of the Archangels. She is sigil bound to Regina.
----
* BigSisterWorship: She speaks highly of her big sister Metatron and especially the work she's done, which is something she sees a lot in Regina.
* CombatMedic: Sandalphon is primarily a healer when she isn't shapeshifted, but her unique shapeshift grants her damaging abilities that can also heal her allies.
* TheComicallySerious: She's a matter-of-fact, unexpressive and serious leader with robotic, Spock-like mannerisms, no matter the situation. This includes when she's going off on how much she loves honey on a logistics level or when discussing Halloween.
--> '''Sandalphon''' Halloween: Treats or tricks? Choosing between two options is inefficient.
* DifficultButAwesome: Sandalphon has a number of simultaneous systems at work that can be tricky for a player to manage. Successfully doing so yields a powerful CombatMedic capable of shredding any endgame boss with minimal damage to the team; Surtr in particular fears her because she can brute-force heal through most of what he can throw at them, on top of atomizing his defenses. [[note]]Celestial Casting with three stacks of Rapid Analysis equals eight stacks of Fiery Resistance ''gone''; not even Regina or Emile can boast that. You will need a dispeller for Daybreak Restoration, however.[[/note]] She is just as bonkers in the Kaleidoscape, to the point that giving her a dispel weapon enables her to take on literally anything the mode can throw at her, as long as the player can juggle everything at once well enough.
* DullSurprise: Her only expression is a fairly blank stare, though her pupils do all the talking on that front.
* EmotionlessGirl: Subverted. She looks and generally acts the part, but the vivid array of symbols her pupils take to show her emotions and some of her other mannerisms, such as her obsession with honey, indicate otherwise. This is especially relevant for her Adventurer Story, insisting it's entirely for practical reasons why she holds Regina in such a high regard as a leader.
* GenderFlip: The angel Sandalphon in Judeo-Christian lore is male, however, this incarnation is female.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Her unique accent color is yellow on top of the gold present among all the Archangels, and is their leader.
* LivingMoodRing: Her face is just short of being totally inexpressive, her emotions instead being indicated by the shape her pupils take.[[note]]These include power symbols, horizontal lines/underscores, upside-down triangles, curves, Xs, exclamation points, hearts, tear drops and thunderbolt symbols.[[/note]]
* MissionControl: Serves as this for the Archangels, communicating with them (sometimes with several of them at once) while they're out on their missions.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: She [[ExoticEyeDesigns has what looks like a power switch for pupils]], making her look quite robotic. Her pupils change shape depending on her mood.
* PromotedToPlayable: After serving as the non-playable leader of the archangels since their introduction, Sandalphon makes her playable debute in the finale of their story. Oddly enough though, she is the only archangel to be added as an adventurer rather than a dragon.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Speaks of Regina with even more faith than Metatron, noting her frequently as something of an even more capable version of her. This is discussed in her Adventurer Story, where Ramiel, Gabriel and Raphael take notice of her uncharacteristic blind faith in her which she tries to deny, before gradually learning to accept the view of Regina as her own individual and as [[TrueCompanions a partner]] instead.
* SpamAttack: She has the Skill Reservoir mechanic in the same vein as Gala Alex and Gala Audric, and being a healer, this allows her to spam her healing spells very quickly.
* SpockSpeak: Almost bordering on RoboSpeak at times, though she'll sometimes use more informal linguistics when off the battlefield. [[TheComicallySerious Not always, though.]]
--> '''Sandalphon:''' I must revise my assessment.
--> '''Sandalphon:''' Maximizing efficiency!
* StanceSystem: On top of healing her teammates, "Coordination Protocol" causes Sandalphon's skills to provide benefits to the team, whereas "Concentration Protocol" has them empower her dragonform. Sustaining a force charge for a second and a half switches the active protocol.
* SweetTooth: According to ''Dragalia Life'' #397, she loves honey.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As noted above, this extends to ingame, where she'll mention a few times just how much she loves honey.
--> '''Sandalphon:''' Honey is packed with nutrients and can be used in any dish. It is nature's perfect material.
* WingdingEyes: Her pupils are shaped like power symbols and can assume other shapes like triangles or exclamation points.

'''Debut:''' Agents of the Goddess
One of the five Archangels.
----
* AlternateSelf: Has two, both of which are hostile.
** Otherworld Ramiel, the evil self from ''Agents of the Goddess'' is bent on destroying the world through the miasma in his sealing stone.
** Fallen Angel Ramiel, the evil self from ''Rise of the Sinister Dominion'', is spreading his own miasma due to being used as a vessel for Lilith... and failing to contain her.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: In ''Dragalia Life'' #283, he reads one of Nevin's diary entries from when he was younger and exposes that his son was a {{Chuunibyou}}.
* BadassBookworm: An incredibly strong Dragon, Ramiel is also the most studious of the Archangels and uses flowery language to match.
-->"Books permit one to gain knowledge and pass it on. They represent the very best of your culture."
* {{Bishonen}}: Ramiel is a ''stunningly'' handsome dragon.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: Admits in his Dragon Story that he was starting to get a hang of raising Nevin, likely the start of him starting to view humans a bit more favorably.
-->"Yet all the while, watching Nevin grow through my labors caused a curious feeling to blossom within me. It was not unlike a sense of accomplishment combined with a deep sigh of utter exhaustion. It was my first taste of it in my centuries of existence, and it was not entirely unpleasant. Perhaps that was why I came to find that somewhere along the way, raising Nevin had almost become...fun."
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Black coffee, befitting him being the calm (if snarky) analyst of the Archangels.
* {{Expy}}: Physically bears some resemblance to Arch-Seraph Lucifer from ''Rage of Bahamut'', who also appeared as a dragon in ''Dragalia Lost''’s precursor, ''Knights of Glory'' and ''Granblue Fantasy''.
* GoodCopBadCop: When Nevin and Ramiel interrogate a crook, Ramiel starts serving as the bad cop when the crook refuses to speak by threatening him and then telling Nevin to wait outside when the crook still refuses. Whatever Ramiel did, it gets the criminal talking.
* GoodWearsWhite: Ramiel is a [[DarkIsNotEvil shadow element]] dragon who dons a completely white uniform and aids the halidom party alongside his sigil-bound apostle, Nevin. In contrast, his evil duplicate, Otherworld Ramiel, is of the [[LightIsNotGood light element]] and [[EvilWearsBlack wears all black]], and his demon vessel copy, Fallen Angel Ramiel, wears [[WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver white and red]].
* HumansAreInsects: Ramiel considered humans as nothing more than short-lived insects and that his interests aligned with theirs at the time. Despite this..
* HumansAreSpecial: He does ponder from time to time if there is something that makes humans more than what their short lifespans imply.
* HurryingHomeForTheHolidays: Even though he already noted he was growing fonder of Nevin as time passed, the "A Gift from an Angel" Wyrmprint has him at his sweetest to make up for the past Dragonyules they missed being together for.
* KnightInSourArmor: No matter his view on humans, he will still work alongside them just fine in the name of Ilia.
* LivingLieDetector: Noted in his ''Dragalia Mini'' as being able to see through lies.
* NonElemental: When serving as a boss in "One Starry Dragonyule", he has no element.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: He is considered to be an archangel while also being called a dragon (though this distinction came from being one of five dragons who-according to the Church-can communicate directly with the Goddess Ilia). His art at least implies his humanoid form is akin to Mym's, and could adopt a different, more draconic form if he wished.
* ParentalSubstitute: He's this for Nevin, being his foster father along with his Sigil.
* PersonalityBloodTypes: His ''Dragalia Mini'' states he's blood type AB, in line with characterizations of AB being rational and calculating.
* ResentfulGuardian: At first, he was this to Nevin whom he was forced to be Sigil-bound to after his prior Apostle passed away unexpectedly, paired with his low view on humans and especially human children.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Engages in this pretty frequently with Nevin.
* ThisCannotBe: A heroic example for when he is beaten in "One Starry Dragonyule".
-->"This has proven to be a simply terrible Dragonyule."\\

* BabyDollBaby: She carries around a Pinon-shaped doll in her arms named Little Pi.
* BarrierWarrior: A Water Adventurer equipped with Gabriel is this. Gabriel's Love is a shield that applies when the Adventurer is healed, giving them a one-use shield that boosts their strength and defense by up to 10% and 50% respectively, and can nullify damage by up to 10% of the user's maximum HP.
* CleavageWindow: She has a fairly low one that shows off her sizable chest.
* CombatMedic: Her third attack will provide a heal to the team. Her second Ability, Gabriel's Favor, also activates when a Water Adventurer using her is healed.
* {{Expy}}: She's almost a direct copy of ''Granblue Fantasy's'' Gabriel, both of them being powerful angelic beings of the Water element, with a very kind and motherly disposition towards their disciple.
* FeminineMotherTomboyishDaughter: Her "daughter" Pinon is the tomboy by keeping her hair short and wearing a suit compared to Gabriel who's a motherly figure.
* GenderFlip: The Judeo-Christian Angel Gabriel is portrayed as male, however this incarnation of him is female. Amusingly, this isn’t the first time Gabriel has appeared in a Cygames work being depicted as female, with the original from ''Rage of Bahamut'' being female, as well as the incarnation from ''Granblue Fantasy''. She also shares in common being a water-based entity with the latter.
* GoodParents: She's the most serious about her role as a parental figure of all the Archangels - which is a good thing, given how well she treats her Apostles, or just about anyone given her insistence on calling them children.
* MartialPacifist: Her noted dislike is fighting, but she absolutely can and will show off her status as an Archangel.
--> '''Gabriel:''' There is no battlefield I would not brave for the sake of my little lady; [[MamaBear I am her Mama, after all.]]
* MyBelovedSmother: Downplayed. She ''can'' be quite overprotective from time to time towards Pinon but otherwise isn't that bad.
* NiceGirl: Telling that she has the most overtly positive reception from her Apostles over the years compared to the other Archangels, given how sweet and loving she is to almost everyone.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Are you tired? Perhaps a pat on the head will alleviate that.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Welcome, welcome! Might you care for some tea?
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Blood type A according to her ''Dragalia Mini'' profile, in line with the generalization of those with the same blood type being kind, patient and generally motherly if rather stubborn.
* PregnantBadass: Not her, but her former Apostle Pirene was pregnant with Pinon in Gabriel's Dragon Story when she sacrificed her life to re-seal one of the Archdemons.
* TeamMom: Being the most into the parent-child relationship dynamic of her peers, she's this to both the Apostles and her fellow Angels, especially to her daughters, Pirene and Pinon.
* TogetherInDeath: Pirene and her husband both died sealing away an Archdemon in a sealing stone.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's definitely the girly girl next to Raphael's tomboy among the Archangels.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Not immediately apparent but she does have a slight blue tint to her white hair, with more obvious spots of blue on her true form.
* TrueCompanions: Her former Apostles were noted to have considered her one, with Pirene in particular calling her such as her last words. This hit hard for Gabriel, who came to especially value friendship just as much as familial love, such as in the case of Pirene's daughter, Pinon.
* WaterIsWomanly: As the Water Element Archangel and their resident TeamMom, this is a given.
* WeAreAsMayflies: Acknowledges how short lived humans are by comparison, which in the case of the Apostles, she counteracts with her love if she can help it. For added irony, Pinon - her own Apostle - is the only non-human, and a [[LongLived Sylvan]] at that.
--> '''Gabriel:''' Compared to angels, human life is fleeting—which is exactly why I shower my love onto the apostles.

'''Debut:''' Prize Showcase (June 2021)
One of the five Archangels of the Church of Ilia. She is Sigil-bound to Ryszarda.
----
* AmazonianBeauty: She's a muscular girl who enjoys working out and is very appealing looking.
* ArtificialLimbs: She has a golden left arm compared to the rest of her body.
* BigDamnHeroes: She and Ryszarda save Tobias and Nino from Father Glennie in "Blessed Bloodline."
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Compared to her partner Ryszarda, she's the Little Guy! She stands at 170cm, which is 5'6 compared to Ryszarda being a good foot taller than her.
* CombatMedic: Her skill "Raphael's Aid" heals Light-attuned characters with 108-132% recovery potency, and gives them a 30-second defense buff. She also believes healers should be able to deal damage just as much as healing.
-->"It's best for healer types to have some combat prowess—makes treating injuries in battle easier."
* CuteLittleFangs: She's got a prominent snaggletooth.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Like her Apostle, she's dark skinned and has white hair.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appeared in a ''Dragalia Mini'' before her official in-game debut.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: She is able to be summoned since June 2021 but her canon first meeting with the Halidom's Prince happened in the ''Asura's Blinding Light'' section of ''Rise of the Sinister Dominion'' that released on July 2021.
* GenderFlip: Her Biblical version is male.
* GenkiGirl: Compared to all the other Archangels and the Apostles, she's easily the most upbeat and cheerful.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: In Ryszarda's Chapter 5, she relays through Sandalphon that "I'M the only one allowed to CHUCK my little one off a cliff."
* LethalChef: As her ''Dragalia Mini'' shows, she loves to cook and bake, but insists on adding tons of sweet flour to ''everything'' to make it taste better.
* NiceGirl: Far and away one of the most social and friendly characters in the game, both her becoming an Archangel and her CombatMedic role being in part of this. Her Dragon Story notes her as an "angel of mercy" after all, and a lot of her dialogue is mention of how she wants to help the world out.
* OriginsEpisode: Her Dragon Story shows how she became the first Archangel.
* OutdoorsyGal: Raphael loves traveling, especially for the purpose of meeting and helping those in need, which she compares to as her prayers.
-->"Got an hour or twelve to spare hearing about my travels?"
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Listed as blood type O, in line with associations of blood type O belonging to outgoing and friendly people.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: She's named after one of the Archangels of the Old Testament.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to all the male Archangels really, but most especially [[SternTeacher Uriel]], given their Apostles, Ryszarda and Faris, are partners.
* SuperSpeed: According to her ''Dragalia Mini,'' she can jump rope at 300,000 km/s, or 186,000 miles/s.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl:
** Between Archangels, she's the outgoing and boyish one to the motherly, doting Gabriel. For added points, she doesn't subscribe as much to the parent-child relationship comparatively as much, [[TeamMom compared to her]].
** She's this as well to her timid and gentle Apostle, Ryszarda.
-->"I value Ryszarda's sensitivity and timidity, 'cause those things are definitely not me."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate, as described after her bond is pushed up past level 10.
-->"Chocolate's great! It's easy to pack for long journeys AND it's delicious!"

[[caption-width-right:350:Angel of Judgement]]
->''"I will teach you strict discipline."''\\
'''Voiced by:''' Kentaro Kumagai (Japanese), Bill Newton (English)\\
'''Rarity:''' 5\\
'''Element:''' Flame\\
'''Debut:''' Rise of the Sinister Dominion [NPC], A Dazzling Defense [Playable]
Faris's sigil-bound Archangel.
----
* BadassArmfold: His default stance, primarily in his NPC portrait or his idle animation.
* TheBigGuy: Even for a humanoid Dragon, he's ''huge,'' the character with the tallest known height at 6'3. He's also arguably the most combative Archangel besides Raphael.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The big guy to his Apostle, Faris.
* CoolTeacher: Though generally a SternTeacher, Uriel is still ultimately a kind man who's willing to be constructive and helpful to those under his guidance, and is capable of handing out a few PetTheDog moments.
--> '''Uriel:''' Well, now. It appears you will be a joy to discipline.
* EvolvingAttack: Uriel's Zeal can be powered up to three levels, increasing a Flame Adventurer's strength by up to 30% and their chance to inflict Scorchrend by up to 80%, but in turn the stronger levels last much less long.
* FemaleGaze: His muscular chest is prominently outlined by his outfit.
* TheFettered: He believes greatly in the power of law and order to enable humanity to work together and overcome their flaws and challenges, if his words towards his fallen counterpart say anything. His Roost quotes also speak highly of order, although he does well to prevent himself from treading too far into KnightTemplar territory.
* FireIsMasculine: The Flame Element Archangel is also the most masculine of all the Archangels.
* GeniusBruiser: He's a strongly built, powerful Archangel in human form with the personality of a strict college professor and a fondness for reading.
--> '''Uriel:''' Reading imparts knowledge and comfort. [[PetTheDog In fact, I often used to read to Faris.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: He takes his duties very seriously, and has also criticized Faris for having his moments of being too soft, but admits that the kindness he has because of that is a respectable quality in of itself.
--> '''Uriel:''' It's not hard to judge or punish. But {{forgiveness}}? Now that is a difficult thing indeed.
--> '''Uriel:''' Faris is too soft... But because of that, he does possess a kindness I lack.
* {{Hunk}}: In contrast to Michael and Ramiel, Uriel is well muscled and still very easy on the eyes.
* LovesSecrecy: Inverted. His noted dislike is people being secretive towards him.
* NotSoAboveItAll: His noted specialty in his ''Dragalia Mini'' is "Acchi Muite Hoi," a Japanese children's game where, after a round of RPS, the winner makes the loser look somewhere and tries to give them a light punishment (like a slap).
* ThePerfectionist: He tends to "grade" others' actions, including docking points for poor judgements and decisions. He does put himself to the same standards as well. [[LikeFatherLikeSon It's pretty clear where Faris gets his behavior from.]]
* PersonalityBloodTypes: Shares blood type A with Gabriel, fitting another generalization of the blood type: Reserved, highly organized perfectionists.
* PromotedToPlayable: He was introduced at the same time as Iblis, but he didn't see playability until "A Dazzling Defense" which came out well after "Faith Forsaken" had passed.
* SternTeacher: He's had other pupils beside Faris, but they weren't able to handle his TrainingFromHell nor his constant no-nonsense attitude. He even believed that given Faris a break from his strict teachings would be nothing but a detriment toward his development to becoming a perfect apostle.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Hinomoto cuisine in general.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: In his Dragon Story, he realizes that Faris' motivation to work even harder despite failing to meet Uriel's expectations at first where others faltered in response was one of [[WellDoneSonGuy sentimental attachment to Uriel]], which Uriel initially deemed as unnecessary for an ideal apostle, but acknowledging its part in Faris' {{Determinator}} attitude begins to show Uriel that such potential wasn't necessarily measurable by objective qualities alone, and humbling him toward a much more constructive and healthy relationship with his apostle.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: His Skill, Angelic Blaze, draws nearby enemies into his attack.

[[caption-width-right:350:Angel of Lost Souls]]
->''"Do you wish to be guided by my wings as well?"''\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsushiTamaru (Japanese), Adam Trask (English)\\
'''Rarity:''' 5\\
'''Element:''' Wind\\
'''Debut:''' Faith Forsaken (Part One) [Boss], The Blood That Binds [Playable]
Michael's sigil-bound archangel. Initially assisted him in reviving Satan, now he aids him in undoing the damages they did.
Tropes for his time as an antagonist can be found in [[Characters/DragaliaLostAntagonistsCampaign Campaign Antagonists]].
----
* TheAtoner: Like Basileus, Michael is remorseful for those he had hurt following their release of Satan.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: He implies himself to be the very same Michael that was Jeanne's patron in VideoGame/RageOfBahamut.
* EasilyForgiven: Likely due to his status as an archangel; compared to Basileus essentially awaiting death row, Michael in the grand scheme of things just has a shift in coworkers. Even he's surprised that otherwise things aren't too bad for him.
-->"I am amazed at Gabriel's goodness. I betrayed her, yet she continues to invite me for tea nonetheless."
* GatheringSteam: Michael's Favor increases a Wind Adventurer's strength by 3% up to ten times for every 15-hit combo. Eased up too as Michael extends the combo counter timer by 2.5 seconds.
* MagicalGuide: Of the archangels, he falls into this category the most overtly, as evident with Basileus over the course of Faith Forsaken.
** Notably, one of his Dragon Roost quotes reveals he was this to Jeanne before she became a Dragon; [[ShownTheirWork much like the one in history proper.]]
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's around the same height as Gabriel and the only other archangel shorter than their apostle (and in Raphael's defense, Ryszarda is huge), it's played with as rather than being highly intelligent like Uriel or Ramiel, Michael instead perhaps has the most wisdom of them.
* StanceSystem: While shapeshifted, Michael creates a combat zone that switches his combat style and how Angelic Storm works; from close quarters, inflicting Poison and giving the team a defense amp, or ranged which inflicts Stormlash and gives the team overdamage, depending on if there are enemies in the combat zone or not.
