This is list of characters in ''[[Grandia]]'' a long-running [[Eastern RPG]] series. Spoilers ahoy.
== ''Grandia'' ==
== Recruitable Characters
=== Justin ===
[[File:
{{quote|
The main character of ''Grandia'' and a third-generation adventurer. Before his death, Justin' father left his son a treasured stone. Justin becomes convinced that the stone is a shard from the legendary Spirit Stone, which the Garyle Forces is seeking. While meddling in a high-security excavation, Justin stumbles onto a hologram of a woman beckoning him to Alent, a mythical city of the long-dead Angelou civilization. He uses [[Heroes Prefer Swords|swords]], maces and [[An Axe to Grind|axes]] in battle.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Justin can use axes, and benefits greatly from doing so: leveling up his Axe stat grants him enormous boosts in strength and HP.
* [[Chaste Hero]]
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: When Justin was still little, his dad met an untimely end during one of his adventures. The particulars of his death aren't revealed.
* [[
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: While he can use maces and axes, Justin's best weapon that only he can use is a sword.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: When Feena decides to go along with {{spoiler|Mullen's plan to sacrifice herself to stop Gaia}}
▲* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: While he can use maces and axes, Justin's best weapon that only he can use is a sword.
* [[Improbable Age]]: He's a savior of the world by the end of the game, and he's just 14.
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: His Lotus Cut attack, which is a simple flaming slash.
* [[Infinity
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Didn't so much jump at it as somersault over it and land on the other side.
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: He gets it in the end, but it takes him a ridiculous amount of time to realize Feena's confessing to him and he's stupidly adorable about it.
* [[Official Couple]]: With Feena, as shown in the [[Distant Finale]]. They've been [[Babies Ever After|busy]].
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Him and Sue are these colors.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Most of the time {{spoiler|, until his [[Heroic BSOD]] on Disc 2.}}▼
* [[Power Glows]]

=== Sue and Puffy ===
[[File:
{{quote|
Sue is Justin's best friend from Old Parm. Orphaned as a baby, she lives with her aunt and uncle. She is always accompanied by Puffy, a gift from Justin's father who brought it from one of his adventures. Sue views herself as Justin's guardian, and resents being treated as a kid. Her weapons on choice are long-distance weapons (such as bows and boomerangs) and maces.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:

* [[From the Mouths of Babes]]
▲* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Head Pet]]: Puffy spends so much time up there that most people assume that he's a fancy ribbon.
* [[Improbable Age]]: Something of a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]]. While Sue demonstrates unusual intellect and combat skill for an eight year-old, her experience curve is much steeper than the other characters leading to their outstripping her as the story gets into full swing. Additionally, {{spoiler|the sheer stress and fatigue of the journey make Sue so ill that Justin and Feena force her to sit the rest of the adventure out not halfway through the story.}}
* [[Non
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]
* [[Precocious Crush]]: Seems to have one on Justin, which makes her [[Shipper

* [[Last-Disc Magic]]: The unsealing of her {{spoiler|Icarian wings}} grants her additional magic, but only in the latter part of Disc 2.
** One of these spells, Time Gate, is such a [[Game Breaker]] that Feena needs to be at Lv. '''99''' magic to use it.
* {{spoiler|[[Last of His Kind|Last Of Her Kind]]}}
* [[Official Couple]]: With Justin, as shown in the [[Distant Finale]]. They've been busy.

* [[Being Personal Isn't Professional]]
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Elena, right off the bat.

Line 282 ⟶ 285:
* [[Determinator]]: In the hellacious aftermath of {{spoiler|Mareg}}'s death.
* [[Don't Call Me "Sir"!]]: Does not respond well to being called "son" or "sir", and insists on being referred to by first name only. Only Roan gets away with calling him "Mister Ryudo", but then the kid attaches a suffix to everybody.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Skye immediately picks up on his unspoken feelings for Elena, and Roan soon ribs him about this, particularly when she briefly leaves the party in St. Heim. When she rejoins, Ryudo pretends he doesn't care one way or the other, but his [[Freudian Slip

* [[Wide
* [[You Didn't Ask]]: Starting from her meeting with Pope Zera, Elena's unspoken mission has been to absorb all of Valmar's parts and then allow herself to be killed. The reason she didn't tell Ryudo is because he holds {{spoiler|the Horns of Valmar, and she cannot bring herself to kill him

* {{spoiler|[[Dying
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[No One Could Have Survived That]]: As told in flashback, Melfice seemingly died when the Grail Mountain shrine collapsed from under him. Ryudo isn't even aware he survived until Mareg shows up, out for blood.
* [[Not So Different]]: Ryudo comments on this after narrowly avoiding his brother's fate.

=== Selene ===
[[File:
{{quote|
A High Priestess of Granas and the church's lead inquisitor. She is uncompromising in her efforts to stamp out heretics, and is notorious for burning down entire villages suspected of harboring evil.

Line 594:
* [[The Dragon]]: To Pope Zera.
* [[The Fundamentalist]]
* [[Fusion Dance]]: Leaps from a high perch onto the upturned swords of the {{spoiler|Cathedral Knights}}. Cut to a [[Gory Discretion Shot]] of blood seeping down from the staircase, followed by the guardsmen reverting into {{spoiler|an amorphous blob that becomes Valmar's Heart}}.

=== Pope Zera Innocentius ===
[[File:
{{quote|
* [[After-Action Villain Analysis]]: Subverted by Millenia, cutting off Elena's soliloquy to announce Zera is "just a FOOL!".
* [[Beneath the Mask]]: He's very convincing in the role of a kind-hearted philanthropist. When he chides Selene for her overzealousness, you almost believe he's the sane one.
* [[Beard of Evil]]
Line 624:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]
* [[Dark Messiah]]: Foreshadowed by his popular nickname, "The Priest Who Will Save the World".
* [[Drunk
* [[Faith Heel Turn]]: To hear him tell it, Zera spent years staring up at Valmar's Moon from his cell at Granas Cathedral, alone in his knowledge that the church is {{spoiler|a sham and there's no deity coming to save them all}}.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: His character model has ''animated jowls''.
* [[A God Am I]]: This is {{spoiler|Pope Zera}}'s goal, to reunite Valmar and be reborn as Valmar's Will.

* [[Self
* [[Sinister Minister]]
* [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum]]: Zera goes even further (if that's possible) off the deep end when you defeat Valmar's Core a second time. He decides that if the age of gods is over, then there's no need for man
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: To General Baal from the first game. Both characters are introduced as benevolent (if ethically murky) father-figures, who promptly transform into [[Large Ham
* [[Sympathy for
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: See
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: When Zera finds he cannot reconcile his supposed "godhood" with his ultimate defeat by the heroes, he spends his last moments quietly lamenting his flawed humanity.
{{quote|
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Of all the people opposing Valmar's revival, Zera wasn't expecting any complaints from ''Millenia'', of all people. He reminds Millenia that this is "unbecoming" behavior for a demon, especially since they're about to rule the world together. Her rejoinder is one for the ages.
