{{quote| The [[Protagonist|main character]] of the first game and of ''Frontier''. He developed amnesia and wandered up to Mist's door steps where she provided him with a home. In ''Frontier'' she ends up housing him again after he follows her to Trampoli}}.

* [[Bi the Way]]: You CAN propose to the male villagers (at least in Rune Factory Frontier). Sure, they reject without fail, and they see it as a joke, but Raguna certainly [[Ho Yay|doesn't seem to think of it as a joke]].

* [[But Thou Must!]]: Even [[Lampshaded]] by Raguna at times.

* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: If you run out of rune points, your actions start depleting your health bar.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Not so much in the original, but he's arguably this in ''Frontier''.

** Although with [[Nerf Arm|certain tools]], it's not such a challenge.

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Haruka Tomatsu]] (JP); [[Caitlin Glass]] (EN)}}

{{quote| A tomboy who loves fishing as much as her hat.}}

* [[Incest Subtext]]: She's rather... attached to her brother. Their introduction scene has them going totally melodramatic about her going out to go fishing, complete with "My dear brother/my beloved sister"s, and both talk about having trouble finding a boy/girlfriend as good as their sibling.

{{quote| Resident of the Monster Village. A young man with cat-like eyes and markings.}}

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Local equivalent. His AI only has this type of mode, making him really easy to faint. And you basically have an [[Escort Mission]] with him required by the story early on.

{{quote| Voiced by: [[Miyuki Sawashiro]] (JP); Ted Sroka (EN)}}

{{quote| An outgoing, friendly individual and the male protagonist, he shares a somewhat playful relationship with Sonja, his childhood friend for whom he cares for deeply.

Can be a bit head-strong and values the friendship of others.}}

* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|Color Coded For Your Convenience]]: Aden? He's the one with light silvery-blue hair.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Miyuki Sawashiro|His Japanese voice actress]] has been [[Rune Factory: Frontier|featured in the series before]], though he sounds more reminiscent of [[Durarara!!|Celty Sturluson]] than of Uzuki.

* [[Official Couple]]: He and Sonja seem to have this going; most interestingly, upon their separation, Sonja starts off two to three affection points higher than the rest of the bachelorettes, making her the only one that starts off with LP instead of FP.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Ai Shimizu]] (JP); Jessica Straus (EN)}}

{{quote| A cheerful young woman with a bright personality, she is the female protagonist and is ultimately forced to cohabit Aden’s body as a result of losing her own, which, unsurprisingly, causes some complications. Nevertheless, her sunny disposition is rarely dampened, though she easily falls victim to jealousy. Deeply cares for Aden and has the ability to sing the Spirit Song.}}

* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|Color Coded For Your Convenience]]: Sonja? She's the one with pink hair.

* [[First Girl Wins]]: Should the player have Aden marry her.

* {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me]]: Has her body stolen at the beginning of the game by the [[Body Snatcher|Masked Man]], who then uses it to arrive at various ends}}.

* [[Official Couple]]: She and Aden; he, as well, starts off with LP instead of FP

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Kikuko Inoue]] (JP); GK Bowles (EN)}}

{{quote| The oldest of the three main heroines, she treats her younger sisters, Odette and Violet, with a motherly attitude and has an overall calm disposition. While clumsy and a terrible cook, she is very skilled at the lute and so functions as Fenith Island’s bard during the evenings at the local inn, “Sisters,” which she helps run. Is one of several that can sing the Spirit Song.}}

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Has a tendency to say "Oh my," somewhat indiscriminately, during conversations.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Masumi Asano]] (JP); Rachel Hirschfield (EN)}}

{{quote| The first person both Aden and Sonja meet upon arriving at Fenith Island, she helps the two become acquainted to their new surroundings and offers them housing neighboring the inn, “Sisters,” for which she acts as the chef. Has a scar under her right eye and on her upper right arm, and is the middle sister of the three main heroines. While friendly and a generally welcoming individual, she can exhibit some ''tsundere'' tendencies. Also acts as Fenith Island’s priestess, and can sing the Spirit Song. She is good friends with Sierra. }}

* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Has an aforementioned scar under her right eye - which is [[Your Mileage May Vary|actually]] [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished|quite cute]] - as well as an aforementioned and arguably [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|more prominent]] one upon her upper right arm, of which is partially concealed by an armband.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Kana Hanazawa]] (JP); Megan Harvey (EN)}}

{{quote| The youngest of the three main heroines, she helps her older sisters, Lily and Odette, run the inn, and acts as Fenith Island’s nurse. Has a shy, somewhat reticent personality, and finds it rather difficult talking to Aden, with whom she falls in love with at first sight. Enjoys gardening, and, like her sisters, can sing the Spirit Song.}}

* [[Dub Name Change]]: Presumably to ease confusion with [[Rune Factory: Frontier|the other]] [[Name's the Same|Irises]], her name is changed to Violet in the dub.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Sakura Tange]] (JP); Lauren Landa (EN)}}

{{quote| Daughter of Beatrix, the matriarch of the Hattain sub-branch of the wealthy de Sainte-Coquille clan, she is a hardworking and diligent individual who, on top of acting as Fenith Island's representative in her mother's stead, strives to help earn funds for her family, which is rather strapped for cash. Nevertheless, she maintains an optimistic outlook on things and likes to help others. In her spare time, she enjoys crafting accessories and studying in secret in the hopes of one day attending a school in the city. She is good friends with her maid, Maerwen.}}

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Fumie Mizusawa]] (JP); GK Bowles (EN)}}

{{quote| An extroverted tomboy who co-runs the general store, “Twins,” with her twin brother, Bismarck, she largely lacks motivation to do her job, preferring instead to skip work to have fun elsewhere. Easy-going and a bit absent-minded at times, she can occasionally speak without thinking, to the chagrin of some. Is good friends with Odette, with whom she visits while procrastinating. }}

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Kanae Ito]] (JP); Stephanie Misa (EN)}}

{{quote| A spirited adolescent who is Fenith Island’s resident blacksmith and lives at her shop with her older brother, James, she fashions partially-mechanical golems during her spare time, and displays an inordinate knowledge of the subject. While she often speaks harshly to others and has no qualms about saying disparaging comments, she has a kind heart. Frequently uses Aden as a personal guinea pig for her newest creations.}}

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Yuu Kobayashi]] (JP); Erika Weinstein (EN)}}

{{quote| A stoic and very formal ''onna-bugeisha'', or lady-samurai, hailing from the Far East, she works as a hired guard charged with protecting Fenith Island’s borders and speaks sparsely of her past. While she lacks confidence in herself as a person, she trains diligently every morning to become a stronger warrior. Ordinarily composed, she can, at times, show sudden bursts of anger or other emotions, particularly if she is comfortable with someone or in close proximity to a cute animal. }}

* [[Tsundere]]: So much so that she even threatens to slice Aden in two should he, supposedly, attempt anything "unwholesome."

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Ryo Hirohashi]] (JP); [[Karen Strassman]] (EN)}}

{{quote| An outwardly cold Dark Elf who serves as the de Sainte-Coquilles' maid, she is good friends with Elektra, though is often frustrated by her constant menial working. Indeed, she can appear easily exacerbated with others and frequently expresses this, though, ultimately, she is a kind individual appreciative of others. She reads in her spare time, and can be rather sensitive about her heritage in certain situations. Deeply cherishes the garden to which she tends. }}

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: "Merupurin," "Melprin," "Melpurin"...

* [[Unusual Eyebrows]]: Hers, at first glance, almost appear to be tattoos of some sort, though the reason they're like that has yet to be explained.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Yukari Tamura]] (JP); Hunter Mackenzie Austin (EN)}}

{{quote| A demon encased in stone for several centuries due to a petrifaction spell gone awry, she is eventually released from her prison by Aden and Sonja, with whom she forms a peculiar relationship. Despite initial denial as to her nature, she later on becomes much more open about discussing her true identity and intentions of world domination, and often displays the ability to turn a conversation in any direction of her choosing. While somewhat menacing, she also can be kind to others. Eventually lives at the church and becomes a friend to Kilt in particular.}}

* [[Expressive Shirt|Expressive Clothes]]: That floaty scarf thing she has reacts to her emotions, hovering casually when she is calm, for example, or twisting slightly when she is angered.

* {{spoiler|[[People Puppets]]: Actually becomes possessed by her own father several times, as he disapproves of her being in a relationship with Aden, as well as for other various reasons}}.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Somewhat helps to subvert the stereotypes common to her race, and additionally exhibits [[Purple Eyes]] that [[Your Mileage May Vary|arguably]] help to accentuate her [[Tsurime Eyes|pride and light arrogance]].

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Hiroyuki Yoshino]] (JP) [[Matthew Mercer]] (EN)}}

{{quote| An intrepid merchant who cares for his sister, Elena, he exhibits a cordial and gentlemanly air. Valuing politeness, he has no qualms about chastising his younger sibling for her at-times rude behavior, though nevertheless dotes on her frequently. Kind and down-to-earth, he is an amiable and welcoming individual.}}

* [[Intrepid Merchant]]: Is this in part, selling a wide variety of wares ranging from house expansions to lottery tickets he presumably obtains elsewhere.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] (JP); Chris Rickabaugh (EN)}}

{{quote| An extroverted, out-going treasure hunter who lives off the coast of Fenith Island with his sea-faring grandfather, Bacchus, with whom he often disagrees with over the validity of his profession. Nevertheless, he is passionate about what he does, and displays competence at the task. Having a prankster personality, he is no stranger to reprimands and is rather expressive in his emotions and opinions. Upon seeing Sonja for the first time, he instantly falls in love with her.}}

{{quote| '''Joe:''' "Since we're so close now, [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|you can call me 'Bro'!]]" <br />

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: His hair is [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|suspiciously spiky]], given the implied time period and setting.

{{quote| Voiced By:by Hideyuki Hayami (JP) [[Todd Haberkorn]] (EN)}}

{{quote| A kind, though somewhat reticent, young man who co-runs the general store with his twin sister, Sierra, he is diligent in his work and takes pride in his profession, though is often exacerbated by his sibling’s lack of motivation and his constant need to reprimand her. He notably values chivalry, and will not stand for the unseemly actions of others, particularly if those actions are directed at women. Can sometimes be a bit socially awkward, particularly in concerns to Sonia. }}

* [[Hands-Off Parenting]]: She seems to be somewhat unaware that she ''has'' a daughter. As stated previously, her time is largely monopolized by searching for a supposed load of wealth, which thus leaves Electra not only to her own devices, but also those inherent with being Fenith Island's representative.

* [[Nice Hat]]: Resembles something akin to a sunhat and bedecked with tuffs of fur, butterfly accessories, and a white rose.

{{quote| Voiced By:by Hunter Mackenzie Austin (EN)}}

{{quote| An orphan, though otherwise generally happy-go-lucky, young girl who lives at Fenith Island's church with her twin brother, Knit, she has a bright and cheerful personality, preferring to play outdoors than be stuck inside. Still, she is perceptive to her sibling's feelings, and so reacts to them accordingly and looks after him the best she can. Helps to clean the chapel in her spare time.}}

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Whereas her brother prefers keeping to himself, she rather prefers to be out and about, doing something active.

{{quote| Voiced By:by Jay D. Stone (EN)}}

{{quote| An orphan, and debilitatingly shy, young boy who lives at Fenith Island's church with his twin sister, Kilt, he has a timid and somewhat sensitive demeanor, favoring time to himself and often opting to say little when prompted. Rather skittish, he regularly relies on his sister's guidance and lead in various situations. Reads books during his spare time, and seems to be a bit taken with Violet, around whom he often feels faint. }}

{{quote| Voiced by: Michelle Anne Dunphy (EN)}}

{{quote| A traveling archeologist who visits Fenith Island twice a week, she has a fine eye for item identification, and so will appraise curiosities brought to her by the community's residents. An amiable individual with a calm matter of speech and an approachable demeanor, she is an all-around friendly person. Dresses in fine clothing, and is married.}}

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Kyle Hebert]] (EN)}}

{{quote| A priest who resides over Fenith Island's church and caretaker of Quinn and Kelsey, he has a rather flamboyant personality and often refers to himself with feminine pronouns. An honest, forthright, and affable individual, he holds the community's trust, and so serves as an emotional guide of sorts. He is fond of cute things and persons, and has taken a bit of a liking to Aden in particular. Presides over the summer's beach activities, and has a scar under his left eye.}}

* [[Scars Are Forever]]: As aforementioned, has a horizontal scar under his left eye.

{{quote| Voiced By:by [[Michael McConnohie]] (EN)}}

{{quote| Joe's alcoholic grandfather and guardian who lives off of Fenith Island's local pier in a houseboat, he is boisterous and rather outspoken, much to the chagrin of some at times. Has an adventurous attitude and generally attacks things with gusto, particularly fishing, of which he is particularly fond. Is a regular patron of the inn, "Sisters'," bar, and has a bit of a thing for Lily. }}

{{quote| A mysterious, ominous individual who serves as the main antagonist, he ardently pursues Aden and Sonja and constantly causes grievances for them, sometimes opting to physically confront the two if the need should arise. Has a unnatural fixation with the world's various elemental temples and the orbs they house, as well as the mythical Legendary Golem, which appears to be one of the main reasons for his duplicitous actions. Additionally, has a great need for the Spirit Song, and, while he can sing it, often targets others with the same ability. {{spoiler|Later revealed to be Sonja's possessed body}}.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Body Snatcher]]: Steals Sonja's form at the beginning of the game in order to accomplish various ends, particularly exploiting her ability to use the Spirit Song}}.

* {{spoiler|[[People Puppets]]: Considering his true identity, this is the game's most notable example}}.
