CHARACTERS

Clea, Voice: Haruru Akiyama

Clea

Haruru Akiyama

----------------------

This time will be different... I’m ready to face the dragon head-on!

Goal: Slay the dragon and avenge her parents

After her parents were killed by a dragon, Clea joined the Adventurer’s Guild Ftera with one goal in mind: vengeance. Serious and driven by an unwavering sense of purpose, she’s earned the respect of even the guild’s rowdiest members. She spent what should have been her academic years training to kill a dragon, leaving her a bit naive and still a fledgling adventurer.

Mage Relm, Voice: Shiki Asagi

Mage Relm

Shiki Asagi

----------------------

Behold the super genius whose name will shine through history!

Goal: Obtain a dragon corpse to use as material for a grimoire

A magical prodigy so gifted that she was admitted into the Empire’s top magic academy at a young age. Arrogance born of genius, plus an ends-justify-the-means attitude, drove her to lead a solitary life. After breaking the Academy’s taboo, most of her magic was sealed away. She’s also an avid bookworm who proudly calls herself a bibliophile.

Thief Nora: Voice Haru Koyama

Thief Nora

Haru Koyama

----------------------

M-Maybe I’m finally starting to look like a real thief...?

Goal: Bring back the dragon’s eye to prove her worth to a bandit group

A demi-human from another continent who was nearly captured by a noble before Crevo, leader of the Ema Bandits, rescued her. Nora is soft-spoken and reserved, yet blessed with superb primal intuition that helps her grasp the truth behind things. She’s a massive scaredy-cat and painfully clumsy, so her constant mistakes relegated her to odd tasks in the bandit group. She’s like a big, timid little critter.

Priest Sophia: Shino Bubaigawara

Priest Sophia

Shiho Bubaigawara

----------------------

To the Goddess Imiselinos... Cheers!

Goal: Follow the church’s teachings and perform acts of heroism

Found passed out drunk by Sister Elleo, Sophia was taken in and made a priest at the Church of Therios. She’s a cheerful, mature woman who seldom strays far from a drink, yet there’s a mysterious shadow beneath her laid-back exterior. After repeated misconduct nearly got her cast out, she joined Clea’s dragon-slaying mission.
