Princess Waltz/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== The heroines (and hero) ===

 

 

The prince of Eldhiland, and the main love interest of the story. Chris transfers to Arata's school one day, has all the girls in an uproar over "his" [[Bifauxnen|lovely looks]], and accidentally drags Arata into the Princess Waltz when she drops one of her rings and he puts it on. After a great deal of arguing and heroic stupidity, the two of them decide to team up, and realize that together they are capable of transforming into the super-powerful princess of the sword, Iris.

Halfway through the game, {{spoiler|Chris pretends trying to kill Arata, forcing him to kill her instead, and her body is hijacked by the true villain. The focus of the game then shifts to Arata and the other princesses' attempts to save her}}.

 

 

* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: What happens when she first realises she's attracted to Arata.

 

----

 

The princess of Agnis, who entered the Princess Waltz just to have fun doing the fighting. She's rather bloodthirsty and enjoys battle more than anything else, and doesn't have much interest in marrying Chris, even though that's the goal of the tournament. She's known as the Dragon Princess among the others, and is a very formidable opponent; she wields a burning lance called [[Meaningful Name|Perpetuelle]].

In the second half of the story, {{spoiler|Angela is the first princess to join up with Arata's party to save Chris}}. By the end of the game, it's possible for her to fall in love with Arata.

 

 

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Dragons.

* [[Forceful Kiss]]: Forces Arata to take one in order to {{spoiler|claim her and her virginity. It involved keeping her eyes closed for a minute. She was promptly kissed into defeat.}}

----

 

The young princess of Shihou, who has known Chris since they were young children. She has devoted herself entirely to Chris and is more intent on becoming her wife than any other princess, although she doesn't know about Chris' true gender. Once she arrives in the story, she charms her way into the circle of [[Nakama]] with her experienced bento-making skills, although she remains highly suspicious of Arata, at least at first.

Dutiful both in battle and out of it, Suzushiro is always a staunch ally, if not precisely a calm one. By the end of the game, she may develop a crush on Arata. She's voiced by [[Yuko Goto]]. Yes, [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru Asahina]] fans, We are talking about THAT Yuko Goto. Then again, it ''is'' [[Fan Nickname|Gotouther]][[Badass Biker|-sama]].

 

 

* [[Little Miss Badass]]

 

----

 

 

Unfortunately for Liliana, she doesn't get along very well with Chris and the other princesses, and she finds herself developing a crush on Arata early on. This causes her a bit of trouble when she actually tries to fight in the Waltz.

In the second half of the game, {{spoiler|Liliana joins up with Arata's team after finding herself unable to return to Eldhiland when she was defeated}}. She's voiced by Taguchi Hiroko.

 

 

* [[Badass Adorable]]

 

----

 

 

Liesel is the first princess to be defeated, when she and Suzushiro fight. This appears to be the end of her role in the story, but it turns out that {{spoiler|Liesel is actually disguised as a student in Arata's class, and her persona as "Liesel" was pretty much a fabrication to help her to win. Liesel, more comfortable with being called Riko, is a painfully shy blackmith who was chosen to enter the Waltz because she had the best affinity with the Dress she made once its original contestant was disqualified. Even after being defeated, she stays on Earth and tries to make up for hurting her friends by helping Arata save Nodoka. She's the second princess to join up with him in the second half of the game, and if the player chooses her and helps her overcome her insecurity and insufficiency complex, she falls in love with him}}.

 

 

* [[Badass Normal]]: No special abilities, no spells, just a skilled blacksmith.

 

----

 

Arata's older sister, who gives him advice throughout the story although she isn't directly involved in the events surrounding the Princess Waltz for most of the game. She's very skilled in kendo and has always practiced with Arata since they were children, meaning that they're very in sync with each other.

In the second half of the game, the player [[Multiple Endings|may or may not discover]] that she is {{spoiler|the Princess of Wisley, who had her memories wiped and her powers sealed by her mother so that they could live normal lives while protecting Arata. However, she's been so determined to protect Arata that her powers break out in uncontrollable ways every now and again, resulting in her appearance as the "beast princess". If Arata doesn't show interest in any of the other girls, we see that their mother decides to unseal Shizuka's powers for the final battle, restoring her memory and conscious abilities}}.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]}}: Her strategy until [[The Reveal]].

 

----

 

The hero of the story, who winds up accidentally involved in the Waltz after [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?|picking up the ring Chris dropped and putting it on]]. He quickly adapts to the [[Broken Masquerade]], and is able to sync powerfully with Chris until [[The Reveal]], whereupon the two of them run into trouble fighting together because of Arata's new awareness of her gender. The two of them spend a great deal of time training, but things get a bit awkward as their restored closeness and synchronization ramps up their [[UST]] [[Their First Time|a bit higher than they can stand]].

 

----

 

The Big Bad of the game, who executes a Grand Theft Me on Chris' body. {{spoiler|Is actually the true first Emperor of Eldhiland, created the place, and was sealed away by Iris and 5 other princesses during the first Waltz, after executing his [[Face Heel Turn]]. Has spent the last thousand years figuring out a way to get free and back into the world.}}

 

 

* [[Big Bad]]

 

----

 

A mysterious maid who was Chris' tutor. {{spoiler|is actually working with the Big Bad on his plan to get free. Absurdly powerful.}}

 

----

 

A masked priestess who gives orders to Chris on what to do to seize victory in the waltz. {{spoiler|Is revealed to be Cecilia, younger sister to Princess Lydia of Soldia, winner of the previous Waltz, who had an affair with the Emperor out of jealousy towards her sister. Also happens to be Chris' mom.}}

 

----

 

Seemingly an ordinary high school teacher; Arata's mom and his homeroom teacher. At first appears to be the usual slacker mom common in anime. {{spoiler|Lilliana & Shizuka's routes reveal that she's a member of Wisley's Royal Family, a former contestant in the Waltz, and Cecelia's confidante and accomplice in the plot to kill Arata. After failing to kill Arata, she had a change of heart and decided to raise him as her own child, leaving Wisley for Japan to hide away.}}

 

----

 

Arata's childhood friend who lives down the street. Her father runs the kendo dojo where Arata and Shizuka trained.
