—Southern Faction Sotalm—

-Title Holders-

◇ [Uni] -???- • Age ?, Height 158cm, 2nd Seat: [Heavy Tank]

Iron-colored hair and steel-blue eyes. Contrary to the puppy-like impression given by his soft hair and features, he's a boy whose color palette gives a sense of visual weight. Dressed in leather gear befitting a light warrior, his small frame is clad in somewhat disproportionate metal armor on both his hands and feet.

Thoughts on the Acrobat and the Sword Protector: "The personification of Istia."

◇ [Mei] -???- • Age ?, Height 138cm, A, 3rd Seat: [Castle Lord]

A young-looking girl with very long, pale purple hair and deep violet eyes. Dressed in a one-piece that resembles a negligee, she is almost always found lying down on something as if it were a bed.

She has a proven track record as a defensive specialist, having withstood the onslaught of multiple Eastern rankers in a past Four Pillar War and led her faction to victory in a base capture battle.

• Anima: [Fairy Tale, Castle of Chalk and Blackwood]

• Favorite Food: Sweets
• Dislikes: Anything that tires her jaw
• Hobby: Collecting pillows
• Preferred Type: No one in particular.

Thoughts on the person everyone's talking about: "Amazing, I guess."

◇ [Fuji] -???- • Age ?, Height 170cm, 4th Seat: [Automata]

A slim man with navy blue hair and eyes, wearing a robe and no weapons. He has the ability to summon and command dolls that mimic a target, making him an extremely matchup-dependent fighter.

Alongside his partner, Orin, he is one of the veteran rankers and a regular participant in the Four Pillar War.

• Favorite Food: Persimmons
• Dislikes: Apples
• Hobby: Gardening
• Preferred Type: Someone with strong leadership.

Thoughts on the Undying: "Yep, what's impossible is still impossible."

A young man with hawk-brown hair and eyes, a light-armored warrior carrying a greatsword as tall as he is.

• Favorite Food: Apples
• Dislikes: Pears
• Hobby: Mountain climbing
• Preferred Type: Someone who likes the outdoors.

Thoughts on the Sword Protector: "Seriously, every single samurai in the East is insane."

-Others-

◇ [Helena] -???- • Age ?, Height 164cm, C

A woman with black, medium-wave hair accented by a single streak of silver-blue, and black eyes. Dressed in a suit-like outfit and wearing a monocle, her intelligent and sharp atmosphere brings to mind a 'secretary.'

She is often entrusted with commanding the Southern Faction's forces in place of their leader, Iris, and in contrast to the [Princess] whose title doesn't quite fit her, Helena is sometimes called the 'Queen.'

She is related to Goldow of the Eastern Faction in the real world.

• Favorite Food: Anything

• Hobby: Fortune-telling
• Preferred Type: Someone with a strong will.

Thoughts on her father: "He's smart, but he lets himself get carried away by excitement and momentum far too often."

—Northern Faction Nortalia—

-Title Holders-

◇ [Tiger Lucky] -???- • Age ?, Height 175cm, 7th Seat: [Great Tiger]

A spear wielder with spiky brown hair and black eyes. He wears a flashy outfit consisting of a black leather suit and a tiger-striped bomber jacket. A pure, hardcore martial artist who could give anyone from Istia a run for their money.

He has an aggressive and straightforward personality, and dislikes things that are overly complicated. He prefers hot-blooded and enthusiastic people over those who are calm and rational.

A young man with a muscular, solid build, and black hair mixed with brown, and light brown eyes.

He has a master-disciple relationship with the [Great Tiger], the 7th seat of the same faction.
