Characters

■Zidane Tribal
"You don't need a reason to help people."
A talented thief and member of the Tantalus Theater Troupe. Marked by a prehensile monkey-like tail unique to his people, Zidane is highly ambitious and demonstrates sound judgement beyond his sixteen years.

■Vivi Ornitier
"How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we don't exist..."
Vivi is a young black mage often seen as shy and lacking in self-confidence. He believes himself incapable of taking action on his own.

■Garnet Til Alexandros XVII
"Someday I will be Queen, but I will always be myself."
The seventeenth generation of royalty in the kingdom of Alexandria. Adored by the public, she is said to be the most beautiful princess to grace the kingdom since its founding.

■Adelbert Steiner
" Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?"
Leader of the Knights of Pluto and personal guard to Princess Garnet. Steiner refuses to budge once he's made up his mind, and is said to be a bit old-fashioned.

■Eiko Carol
"I don't wanna be alone anymore..."
Eiko is a survivor from a once thriving village of summoners, legendary practitioners who call upon the power of eidolons. She is remarkably clever, perhaps far more than any six-year-old should be, with an intense curiosity about the world.

■Quina Quen
"I do what I want! You have problem!?"
A seemingly genderless qu, a race of anthropomorphic beings. Quina Quen loves to eat frogs, and can think of no greater joy than eating those so fresh that they're practically still alive.

■Amarant Coral
"The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty."
An accomplished fighter who depends on nothing but the strength of his own two fists. His fiery mane of red hair has led many to call him the Flaming Amarant.

■Freya Crescent
"To be forgotten is worse than death."
A valiant dragon knight hailing from the city of Bumecia. She is a proud warrior who refuses to compromise her principles.
