The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky/Characters

This page lists the various characters who populate Trails In The Sky. As with the main page, there are a fair number of spoilers, so highlight them at your own risk!

Estelle Bright
The cheerful heroine of Trails in the Sky. A newbie Bracer, and the daughter of the legendary adventurer Cassius Bright. Uses a quarterstaff in combat, but she's about as far from being a White Magician Girl as you can be while still being female.

"Estelle:Is that... a penguin? (An evil penguin?)"
 * Action Girl: Almost the quintessential Action Girl. Estelle doesn't think twice about throwing herself into danger, especially if it's to help another. She ultimately manages to be far more of a badass than any of the male cast members. She's capable of fighting everything from wolves to giant lizards to army officers to robots the size of buildings. None of this holds her back.
 * Deadpan Snarker: especially regarding Olivier's antics.
 * Genki Girl: Mother of God. Her Genki Power could light entire cities. It seems like nothing can put a dent in her can-do, optimistic attitude.
 * The Kirk: Oh yeah.
 * Lethal Chef: To the surprise of few, the dismay of Joshua and Cassius, and the peril of the Bright family curtains.
 * Otaku: Of sneakers, of all things.
 * Straight Man: Often ends up playing the straight man to the relative zaniness of the rest of the cast. Her "'what' face" is a rather common sight in dialogue boxes.


 * Tomboy: Pursues a tomboy appearance almost aggressively. She doesn't have a lot of time for or truck with feminine frippery. Kloe and Schera occasionally call her out on trying a little too hard on this.

Joshua Bright
Estelle's adopted brother and partner in adventure. Uses twin blades.


 * Chick Magnet: To Estelle's never-ending despair.
 * Dual Wielding: He does this despite not really knowing why he's so good at it.
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Poor Joshua often gets accused of this by fans (and occasionally in-character). At the very least, he's a very effete dude. That his Japanese VA is a woman doesn't help matters much.
 * This is so bad that he gets crossdressed twice in FC, and both times, he makes the girls in attendance jealous with "his" looks.
 * Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Joshua's eyes look rather like this when using his S-Crafts in FC, oddly enough. This disappears in SC and beyond.
 * Eyes of Gold: Draws quite a bit of attention for this; he's not sure why he has them.
 * Flash Step: A whole bunch of his Crafts and S-Crafts hinge on his ability to do this; it gives him some of the most devastating abilities in the game(s).
 * The Heart: At the start of the story, he's very much this, a gentle young man who wants to see and encourage the best in people.
 * Laser Guided Amnesia: He's pretty fuzzy on the details of his life before he came to live with the Brights... and he's not too fond of talking about the details he DOES remember.
 * Teach Him Anger:

Scherazard Harvey
An experienced Bracer and an older sister figure to Estelle and Joshua.


 * Bottle Fairy: She really likes her booze.
 * Death Dealer: one of her S-Craft, Judgement Card.
 * Whip It Good: Schera can sometimes be very enthusiastic about that whip...

Agate Crosner
A grumpy Bracer with a very big sword.


 * Knight in Sour Armor: Less so to Tita, but to everyone else, he starts out pretty grouchy.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold
 * Lolicon: to Tita. The rest of party agrees.
 * Tsundere: Fits Agate to a T.

Olivier Lenheim
A wandering bard from the Empire. Uses a gun, but his deadliest weapon is probably his mouth, which gets him into more trouble than anyone else in the party.


 * Bishounen: And he goddamn knows it, too.
 * Guns Akimbo: How he typically fights. Notably one of only three gun users in the entire cast, despite the technology level of the setting.
 * Handsome Lech: Acts this way to nearly every woman (and some men) he meets.
 * Large Ham

Kloe Rinz
A student at a private school. Is quite skilled with a rapier.


 * Actual Pacifist: She abhors violence, especially against other human beings. She even first joins the party as a noncombatant who you can't control; she'll heal you fairly regularly, but that's it.
 * Reluctant Warrior: Unfortunately for her, the darkening tone of the story in the last act of FC and throughout SC doesn't allow for much in the way of dedicated pacifism, and she's forced to take up arms.
 * The Chick: The nearest thing the party has to one.
 * Ship Tease: quite a few with Joshua thorough FC and SC. The Third, however, drops a massive one with . How big? One of them even eats half of screentime in a door dedicated for . And there's more in Ao no Kiseki!
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Plays the extreme girly-girl to Estelle's equally-extreme tomboy.
 * White Magician Girl: The extreme slant toward water in her orbment means she will inevitably have extremely powerful healing spells and she has one of the deepest EP pools of the entire cast, her first S-Craft is a healing/revive thing instead of a damage ability, natch, she is a real pacifist at first before fate forces her to fight, and she crushes on Joshua like, well, a schoolgirl.

Zane Vathek
A calm and reliable Bracer from the Republic of Calvard. An expert in martial arts.


 * The Big Guy: Shares this role with Agate.
 * Gentle Giant: While he still loves things like martial arts tournaments, he's disarmingly friendly and sincere to everyone else. It isn't even an act, either - he's just a nice guy!
 * Mighty Glacier

Tita Russell
A cheerful and optimistic mechanic from the town of Zeiss. Uses a variety of guns. Her grandfather is a famous scientist.


 * Gadgeteer Genius: She eventually builds a Kill Sat that she can use to help the party. That should tell you everything you need to know.
 * Moe: Just ask Estelle.
 * More Dakka: Her preferred method of fighting. Her weapons start at the "shoulder-braced portable mortar" level and only get bigger from there courtesy of her S-Crafts.
 * Techno Babble: Oh god, give her an inch...
 * Techno Babble: Oh god, give her an inch...

Kevin Graham
A wandering priest of the Septian Church. First appears in the Second Chapter, and plays a leading role in The Third. He wields a crossbow.


 * Ascended Extra: from an NPC to the main character.
 * Breakout Character

Renne
A young girl that Estelle and company encounter during the Second Chapter. She seems sweet enough, but there's something... off about her at times. She turns out to have quite a few secrets... . Spoilers abound when talking about her, be warned!


 * Elegant Gothic Lolita: That is one frilly dress she wears, and she even carries a little stuffed black rabbit around with her.
 * It Was His Sled:
 * Teen Genius: Well, "pre-teen genius", but yeah. It's obvious very early on, even to the other characters, that Renne is far more intelligent than her tender age would suggest. She uses this to help Estelle and crew early on in SC.
