OKAY! So I am going to tell you a little about my absolute first and favourite manga and it's characters.
I'm going to try and present them in an orderly manner. To warn you though, this pimping obviously contains some spoilers :|a That and some of the many many characters in Dragon Knights aren't really appable, so I'm just showing you the ones that has a bigger role in the series. The rest you have to find out about by READING IT~ ♥ I know this list is stupidly long, but Dragon Knights harbours an insane amount of characters, and neither of these are really small ones :| So I ask for forgiveness for this list orz
DRAGON KNIGHTS. It is what it sounds like, a story about Knights affliated with Dragons. There are three semi-consistent Knights throughout the entire series and Rath, the one I play, is one of them. Here are the other two Knights as well as other important characters:
Thatz
A former human thief with and outrageous appetite for good food, treasure and gambling. If there's a reward in a quest of a mission, he's going to be there for sure, AND do his job. If the reward isn't that rewarding, or not in the form of money or food, he won't bother. Thatz is the Dragon Knight of Earth and can open rifts in the ground as well as blow up(!) things and make houses collaps! If only he wasn't so LAZY. He once (this is canonly stated by Rune) slept through an entire manga chapter. However, he's a dedicated and loyal friend and cares a lot for the people he knows.
Summarized, Thatz is a thief and a glutton who literally steals the food
FROM YOUR MOUTH.
Rune
A blond not!girly guy. Proper, easily scandalized and the one trying to keep the other Knights in check, Rune has the position as the Dragon Knight of Water. He's not only that, he's also an elfin prince and has a girlfriend~ Rune has a very short temper and is prone to lash out and yell at the people causing trouble. He is forever loyal to his cause and the Dragon Lord and he's doing everything in his power to make missions take as little time and be as efficient as possible.
Cesia
This is my
girlfrie-- ... a crazy demon girl I know. B/ PLEASE APP HER she's so damn awesome. Cesia is the only person who can get on Rath's nerves literally and they fight a LOT. Now, if you play her you'll have a character with unimaginable god-like powers. That and she's schizofrenic to boot! Along with her own slightly quiestionable personality, Cesia has
one black and
one white personality. The black one likes to emerge now and then and cause general havoc. Cesia is otherwise friendly and nice, has the ability to read your future and throw weird magics at you like wind and illusion monsters. Is also very very VERY susceptible to curses of any kind.
Kitchel
A human thief like Thatz, she used to be his rival when they were both scraping a living on the streets. She stole all of Thatz's money and food when she got a job working for Lord Lykouleon, actually forcing Thatz to sneak into the castle and eventually become a Dragon Knight. She is currently enlisted as a treasure hunter for the Dragon Lord. Very upbeat and cheerful, Kitchel prides herself on both her ability to always look on the bright side and for still being the best thief around.
Tintlet
The elfin princess and wife of Rune, Tintlet holds a surprising amount of power. Appearing at first glance to be no more than a delicate addition to the cast, her elfin powers are quite strong. Very adept at healing and purifying magic, Tintlet can also "kick butt" when riled. She has the ability to change her form into that of a young human-looking girl. In addition, Tintlet is able to split her body and soul, an ability that has already proven useful multiple times. A deeply loving and understanding character, Tintlet has quickly shown her worth and ability to handle all thrown at her. She is caring of others, especially for the Elfin race.
Lord Lykouleon
The Dragon Lord, and previous Light Dragon Knight. He is a powerful fighter and an empathetic caretaker of the people, but is constantly being kept in the castle by his underlings. He feels responsible for Rath's troubles and hurt by Rath's inability to see eye-to-eye with him. His blood is poisonous to most people, being described like an "overdose of light medicine". He uses the Imperial Dragon Sword as his weapon, although Rath currently has this in his possession. Lykouleon takes all under his wing, welcoming humans, demon, and elves alike into the Dragon castle. Except for Rath, his blood brother, he is the last of the royal line.
Lady Raseleane
The consort to the Dragon Lord, Lady Raseleane is Lykouleon's beloved wife. Greatly popular among the Dragon Tribe, she is a nurturing mother to all within the walls. [Read the manga for more. There are spoilers :|a]
Kaistern
The Blue Dragon Officer, Kaistern travels around the world as a diplomat with other countries on the continent of Dusis. He is the closest to Rath and the Dragon/Demon dog Crewger, taking Crewger along on several of his trips. Acting as a joint mentor-father-therapist for the Knight of Fire, Kaistern would (and, indeed, does) lay everything on the line for Rath, and although he is the only one who Rath tells everything to, he never truly is let in by the Knight, no matter how hard he has tried to be accepted.
Ruwalk
The Yellow Dragon Officer, Ruwalk acts as the Dragon Lord whenever Lykouleon cannot. He is childish and mischievous, but fights hard to protect the Dragon Tribe. Ruwalk has a tendency to give extra money to Kaistern for his frequent trips and help Lord Lykouleon slip out of the castle unnoticed. Always one to stand up for those trying to slide around the various castle formalities, he tends to get in trouble with Alfeegi quite often. He is Lykouleon's childhood friend and most of the time calls him by his given name without the title of "Lord".
Tetheus
The Black Dragon Officer and in charge of security and of overseeing the Dragon Fighters and Knights, Tetheus does a commendable job to protect the Dragon Castle from harm. Dark, mysterious and incredibly strong, not much is known about his past or, in reality, his present. Tetheus isn't as harsh as he sometimes comes off, however, and while he can be very strict, is also protective to a fault, loyal, and with the uncanny ability to see far more than he reveals.
Alfeegi
The White Dragon Officer and Secretary, Alfeegi takes upon himself much of the responsibility for the every day affairs in the palace. He often scolds Ruwalk, Kaistern, Lykouleon and the three Knights for not finishing their work on time or giving extra money to Kaistern on his trips and such. As well as the castle finances, Alfeegi is in charge of their fortunetellers, placing Cesia under his care. Alfeegi has fantastic intuition and a keen mind, and although it seems like he enjoys yelling, he cares for all the Dragons very much.
Cernozura
In charge of the castle maids and other lower staff, Cernozura has recently taken up the post of castle historian as well. Renowned for her culinary skills, Cernozura is a favorite of the younger members of the castle and a close friend and lady-in-waiting to Lady Raseleane. Often seen nursing the hurts (both major and minor) of the Dragon Clan, Cernozura is dutiful and friendly, and also a self-admitted romantic. She finds hope in reading into peoples' interactions and uncovering the latent feelings below.
Bierrez
Bierrez is a rebel demon and keeps his loyalties to himself, dislikes being told what to do and often masterminding his own schemes rather than following orders. Due to an encounter with the Dragon Lord's blood as a young demon, Bierrez used to be the only demon able to enter the Dragon castle. He has a very close attachment to Cesia, having known her for several years, always watching out for her from behind the scenes and protecting her from other youkai who want her powers. Is kind of in rivalry with Rath.
Gil
Gil was once a human, but was transformed into a demon by Kharl. Later sold to Nadil's army, he was treated like a slave by Shydeman and Fedelta. Despite his hopeless situation, he was rescued by a rebel demon named Raamganas, who took care of him and treated him fairly and whom Gil eventually fell in love with. But the mind control placed on him by Shyrendora enabled Nadil's army to toy with him, turning him into a merciless demonic beast and, in doing so, to kill Raamganas. Gil has little recollection of the things he did, and he lacks the power to stop it.
Sabel
Saabel is a corpse-gathering demon under Nadil's army. He gathers corpses and uses them like puppets to do whatever he pleases. He protects Nadil's castle in a sea of souls stolen from those he kills. While Saabel is bored easily, he also has a happy attitude and a quick temper. He is able to create portals, a power that he hides from other demons but commonly uses to his own advantage. Saabel is amused by Rath and curious as to why a demon would help the Dragon Tribe. Saabel has an aversion to the Elfin Tribe, and feels pain whenever a faerie is close due to a curse placed on him by Nadil.
Zoma
A demon Cesia took under her wing when she first escaped the witch, he is very protective of her, and she cares for him deeply. He doesn't have much confidence in his abilities as he spent most of his short life unable to walk and without any skills other than the odd talent of being able to travel through mirrors. Zoma has ties to both Rath and Nohiro, and holds an inner power far greater than he can imagine or comprehend.
Ringleys
Ringleys, a Water Light of the Elfin Tribe, was rescued from a demon by Thatz and Kitchel and accompanied Kitchel on her quest for the Three Treasures. Lacking many powers, Ringleys comes along for moral support... And to be randomly thrust by Kitchel into situations against his will.
FIRE
Fire is the Fire Dragon. (Duh) And he can't talk, only roar. He turns chibi mostly during the series and using post-it notes to communicate, Fire tries to keep his master (Rath) in check and tell him off when he's being stupid. He's kind of cynical for a dragon. Also the only dragon that can communicate, apparently, because Water and Earth doesn't.
Demon Lord Nadil
The Demon Lord, arch-enemy of Lord Lykouleon. He was decapitated, but his armies still scour the land. Ruthless and cruel, Nadil desires Cesia's power as well in order to strengthen his weakened, but by no means minute, forces. He harbors secret ties to Rath Illuser and is capable of possessing his body on occasion and wreaking havoc through him. While his exact plans are largely unknown to all by himself, Nadil's motives are clear: control of all three lands of Kainaldia, Dusis, and Arinas.
Shyrendora
Shyrendora is the younger twin sister of Shydeman. They share a single joined soul, making it so that if one of them dies, the other will as well. She followed Shydeman when he chose to side with Nadil in order to gain new powers and to save each other from death. She has a hot temper, is easily agitated, and thinks of people as objects. Shyrendora is devoted to Nadil and is extremely distressed whenever his life is in danger. She is fairly amused by Sabel, and she finds pleasure in agitating him as well as the other lesser demons.
Shydeman
Shydeman is the older twin brother of Shyrendora. He joined with Nadil to receive enough power to make up for his lacking past. His strength grew and his lust for power grew with it, making him as power-hungry as Nadil. Just like his sister, he likes to control people and show others that he is not to be toyed with. He is smart and calm through most situations, and is careful to think before taking action. He has, oddly enough, formed a relatively open bond with the Fire demon Fedelta, promoting him to work directly under him and carry out his specific commands.
Fedelta
Fedelta is a Fire demon and Shydeman's loyal spy. He does anything Shydeman tells him to do without complaint. He likes to be alone, and he keeps to the shadows most of the time and lacks confidence in what others do, thinking that he must do a job himself to get the work done. Fedelta only truly cares about Shydeman and is extremely jealous of anyone that likes him or who is liked by him. Much of Fedelta's tactics are "hit and run", appearing at random to throw the metaphorical wrench into the spokes and severely set back his opponents.
Kharl the Alchemist
The series resident Mad Scientist. He is able to create demons from captured faeries using his alchemy (An alchemist in this world is one who "creates souls", not one who tries to create gold.). He uses two "birds", which are sometimes referred to as his "wings", to aid him in this process but when Left Bird was killed by Rath, people started calling him "The One Winged Angel" (no, not Sephiroth, he's more like Hojo 8|b). Very interested in anything unusual, Kharl is fascinated with strange plants, food, demons, and humans. He's a slob and tends to forget things and make messes. Kharl also harbors a strong craving for Rath: he wants to steal him back from the Dragon Tribe, but is finding himself strangely unable to do so.
Garfakcy
Kharl cannot really be apped though without bringing with him his maid-cook-gardener-spy-assassin-experiment, Garfakcy. A human boy taken in by Lord Kharl, Garfakcy wishes to be turned into a demon, a desire Kharl simply laughs off. Garfakcy casts spells using magical ash Kharl has created. He hates to feel weak or vulnerable, and doesn't let this side of himself show, preferring to come off as competent, even ruthless and vindictive. While seeming to be constantly irritated at the older demon for his annoying habits (forgetting things and making messes among them), Garfakcy is highly loyal to him and hates to see him threatened or hurt... Or to see him channeling his attention towards someone else.
These two are also very friendly to each other, like they are a real family. Dragon Knights volume 18 has a few bonus side stories based on these two's daily life, and it is quite funny. Two of these stories are a "cooking show" with Kharl and Garfakcy in which Kharl fails to make edible food and creates demons instead.
Nohiro
A strange human, Nohiro has healing powers that far surpass that of any known faerie or elf. He has no recollections of his past apart from a vague memory of the Spirit Tribe. This has set off his quest to find out about the disappearance of the faeries and to save them from total destruction (and, of course, to wed a pretty elfin girl). Very kindhearted, Nohiro is just learning how to use his powers and is currently traveling the land and working odd jobs in an attempt to earn money for his voyage. He's also rather fond of Rune.
Rim Kaana
Rim Kaana, a young female demon, was created along with her sister Leelu Reel by Shydeman. Currently containing some of Tintlet's memories, Rim now works for the Dragon Tribe, trying her best to help them. Rim is quickly falling in love with Rune, but Rune himself seems to remain oblivious.
Reema
Reema is a death fairy. She helps noble souls into the Afterlife. She behaves childishly and playfully at times. But when it suits her she seems to have the mind of an adult and displays omniscient tendencies, doing her best to warn the Dragon clan of impending disasters though apparently these preordained events must happen. She has some feelings for Alfeegi; she helped him and the Dragon King in a demon town, and as he was dying he kissed her.
Gow
Gow is a Bad Fairy. 8| He's really really bad. You don't want to cross him, really~ Gow thinks he's so bad that he is awful when he doesn't like the Prince and Princess that are in love in the city he thinks he owns. So the Bad Fairy Gow goes to take care of them in his own bad way with making the princess sick and trapping the prince in a monster illusion. Oh, he's so bad, and he likes to play wit--- Okay, no, I was kidding.
