Line 8:
Her default weapon is the staff, and her default spirit companion is Wisp, though as the protagonist she has a much greater arsenal at her disposal.
She has [[Hello, Insert Name Here|no default name]]: the English strategy guide and promotional comic refer to her as "Rose"; whereas the Japanese manga anthology, novelization, and strategy guide call her "Elena". Her counterpart in ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]'' was referred to in side materials as "Fuji".

Line 16:
* [[The Chosen One]]
* [[Generation Xerox]]
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]
* [[Heroic Lineage]]
* [[The Messiah]] / [[Messiah Creep]]
Line 34:
His default weapon is the sword, and his default magical spirit is Salamander. If he is the protagonist, he has a broader array of weapons and magic to choose from.
Like the heroine, he has [[Hello, Insert Name Here|no default name]]: the English strategy guide and promotional comic refer to him as "Matt"; whereas the Japanese manga anthology, novelization, and strategy guide call him "Duke". His counterpart in ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]'' was referred to in side materials as "Sumo".
* [[Best Served Cold]]
Line 40:
* [[Cool Sword]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Jumped At the Call]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: All day, every day.
* [[The Resenter]]: Reveals at the end of the heroine's route that there was a time that he blamed his family's deaths on her.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Blames Devius for Amanda's death and charges off to fight him, which ends badly.
Line 60:
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: Being unable to save his wife Mana from sacrificing herself to save the Mana Tree.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Ironic, seeing as...
** [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: ...he was the heroine's dad all along.
=== Amanda ===
Line 109:
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
* [[Light
* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]
Line 137:
Wears a golden [[Domino Mask]] to conceal his resemblance to his brother Devius, apparently solely out of bitterness over his father's decision to split up their family. Is half-Mavole, but seems not to have inherited any specific Mavole powers. Wields a sword.
* [[Anti
** [[Adaptation Expansion]]: His backstory (not coincidentally exclusive to the heroine's route) was reworked heavily for this game; the ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]'' version of his character was a flat villain.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]
Line 143:
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Still very protective of Marley.
* [[Morality Chain]]: Literally the only person who can get Julius to behave.
Line 152:
** [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
* [[Sword and Sorcerer]]: With Julius.
* [[Well
=== Julius Vandole ===
Line 171:
* [[Hijacked By Ganon]]: After Dark Lord's death, he assumes Vandole's (drastically more serious) personality and goals. The Gemma Knights and their allies start referring to him as the real Vandole at this point. It's left ambiguous as to whether [[The Virus|the original Vandole has literally hijacked his body]] or whether his "Julius" persona was a facade to start with.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Might be Emperor Vandole's reincarnation; might be his son. Might even be the heroine's half-brother, given the rumors of a [[Beast and Beauty]] romance between Vandole and Mana during the Vandole war. Nobody really seems to know what Julius' deal is aside from Dark Lord, who [[The Un

Line 178:

* [[The Trickster]] / [[Troll]]: Prior to Dark Lord's death.
* [[Yandere]]: His violent side peeks out during the sequence where [[Cold
== Supporting Characters ==
Line 197:
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Very much so. That [[Girl in A Box]]-filled basement? Those are sleeping Mana women he's sheltering from Dark Lord at the behest of Granz. The butlers who remark about how the heroine and Isabella are "the perfect woman" and try to present them to Lee like a stereotypical vampire B-movie? They're a little overly enthusiastic about bride-shopping for their master, and are doing it against his will. Isabella is floating motionless in the air when the hero bursts in? She was harassing Lee, so he put her to sleep. It takes Granz's intervening to get things sorted out in the end.
* [[White
=== Isabella ===
Line 219:
His demeanor is very different based on route, which may have to do with the fact that like Dark Lord, [[Adaptation Expansion|his character was heavily rewritten for this game]]. His Mavole form is that of a [[Final Fantasy|Mindflayer]].
* [[Anti
* [[Benevolent Boss]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Very kind and reasonable unless his mother is harmed, in which case watch out.
Line 226:
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] by Julius, possibly out of [[Yandere|jealousy]], which results in Devius' death.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Gives off this impression with his birds; though it's later discovered that [[Baleful Polymorph|some of them weren't always birds]].
* [[Half
* [[Hundred Percent Adoration Rating]]: The people of Jadd love him, and so do the Luna spirits, with which he's affiliated.
** [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Early on, the heroine explains that spirits don't appear before inherently evil beings, and so this goes to reinforce Devius' character.
Line 232:
* [[The Stoic]]
** [[Not So Stoic]]: After Medusa's death.
* [[White
=== Marley ===
Line 262:
* [[Dragon Their Feet]]: As with Julius and Isabella. Unlike them, in Goremand's case it's explicitly out of opportunism.
* [[For the Evulz]]
* [[
* [[Karma Houdini]]
* [[Legacy Character]]: Takes after [[Seiken Densetsu 3|Deathjester]], and may or may not be the same character.
