The central character of the game. Found in the woods with Noishe when he was an infant. Now lives with his adoptive dwarf father.

The game's heroine and Lloyd's childhood friend. Though normally a bit clumsy and seemingly care-free, she has a strong will and sense of responsibility hidden underneath her soft appearance -- she bears the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is not the type who looks to others for protection. If anything, she is bold and daring in times of need, always willing to sacrifice herself to help her friends.

This young boy is one of Lloyd's closest friends. He's a child prodigy -- not only is he the smartest student in the village, he is a talented mage as well. Because of these abilities, he is overflowing with self-confidence, to the point of looking down upon others.

She is the teacher of the school Lloyd, Colette and Genis attend. She is also Genis' older sister. She is asked to join Colette in her journey because of her knowledge of archaeology and the magical arts. Although normally cool and logical, her passion for archaeology gets the best of her at times.

He is a mercenary, hired to accompany the Chosen on her journey of regeneration. He is a skilled swordsman -- Lloyd's swordsmanship pales in comparison. His cool demeanor and logical approach of handling situations irritate Lloyd, who tends to handle things completely the opposite way.

An assassin sent from the prospering world of Tethe'alla to stop Colette from succeeding in her journey of regeneration. If Colette succeeds in reviving Sylvarant, then Sheena's world will be ruined. Similar to Colette, Sheena carries the fate of her world on her shoulders.

He is Tethe'alla's Chosen One. His good looks, his title, and his smooth charm makes him irresistible with most women. Because of this, he can be a bit arrogant and egotistical at times. He doesn't take things too seriously, and thus has a laissez faire attitude towards his duties as the Chosen.

She works as a woodcutter in place of her sick father. Although she is small and slender, she manages to heft with ease a heavy ax that most adults would struggle to lift. This is possible due to the special Exsphere that she has equipped. This special Exsphere, however, suppresses Presea's humanity -- she does not display any sort of emotion at all.

He is a prisoner in the prosperous world of Tethe'Alla. He is sent to capture Colette on behalf of the Pope. He is extremely quiet and constantly wears a grim expression; the few words that escape his lips are dignified and carefully thought out. They are perhaps traces of his aristocratic background.
