*Shirley Fennes (シャーリィ・フェンネス Shaari Fennesu?) - Two years younger than Senel, Shirley Fennes constantly worries about the dangers her brother faces.

===Tales of the Abyss===
* Luke fon Fabre - An amnesic aristocrat who was confined to his family's manor following a kidnapping seven years ago. One day, he was suddenly spirited away from his home and to a far valley on the other side of the world due to an accidental hyperresonance when Tear Grants attempted to assassinate his swordmaster Van Grants. With little experience with regards to life outside the manor and normal human relationships, Luke is suddenly forced to find his way back home. After he finds himself involved in a far larger struggle, he transforms from a spoiled child into a selfless hero.
*Tear Grants - A Seventh Fonist who promised to bring Luke back to his manor after accidentally transporting him into Malkuth territory following her failed attempt at assassinating Van. Her parents were killed when she was very young, and ever since she has been raised as a soldier by the Order of Lorelei. She is later revealed to be the younger sister of Van, her true name being Mystearica Aura Fende. Wielding a small staff and fonic hymns, Tear is the primary healer, but has a small selection of melee moves, along with a few light-based fonic artes.
*Guy Cecil - Luke fon Fabre's childhood friend and a servant of the Fabre household. Guy departed in search of Luke following his disappearance, eventually finding Luke cooperating with the Malkuth military after rescuing him from the Oracle Knights. It is later revealed that Guy is really the last remaining member of the House of Gardios, and is, therefore, both a Malkuth aristocrat and the rightful governor of the Isle of Hod. His original purpose in joining the Fabre household was his desire for revenge against Duke Fabre, who slaughtered his family. Guy fights with a sword in the Sigmund style swordsmanship, a style that is unique to Hod and developed as a branch of the Albert style that Luke uses.
*Jade Curtiss - A colonel in the Malkuth Empire's military who travels the land in a dreadnought called the Tartarus. Jade first encounters Luke in the Grocer's Hamlet, Engeve, while escorting Fon Master Ion, whom he rescues, alongside Tear and Luke, from the Liger Queen. His mastery of fonic artes is renowned throughout Auldrant, and many soldiers fear his reputation as "Jade the Necromancer," a somewhat erroneous title stemming from the belief that he collected corpses after each battle to reanimate for use as his own troops. Jade is also known as the "Father of Fomicry" and, in his childhood, in addition to developing the basis of the technology, studied under Professor Gelda Nebilim Nebilim before he attempted to use the Seventh Fonon. As he is not normally capable of wielding its power, it quickly escaped his control and starting a fire, badly injuring Professor Nebilim and destroying her home. As she lay on the brink of death, Jade attempted to create a replica, though it became unstable for a lack of first and sixth fonons, leading it to kill several nearby fonists before being sealed away by the Malkuth military. It is later revealed that, in addition to his sister Nephry Osborne, Jade counted both Saphir Gneiss and the future Emperor Peony among his childhood friends.
*Anise Tatlin - A Fon Master Guardian whose family was once stricken by massive debt due to the wanton actions of her gullible father Oliver and trusting mother Pamela. Anise, and her parents, are effectively the indentured servants of Grand Maestro Mohs, to whom Anise is shown to be grudgingly loyal so long as he holds her parents under his power. She feels that it is her duty to marry into wealth in order to relieve the burden of her parents' debt, at first targeting Luke as her future wife, though she is too young, by the laws of the Order, to marry. Anise is originally portrayed as being quite greedy, although this image is somewhat-altered when the dire financial status of her parents is discovered. With the removal and later death of the Grand Maestro, her focus shifts from marrying Luke to reforming the Order of Lorelei and becoming its first female Fon Master.
*Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear - The bow-wielding princess of the kingdom of Kimlasca, Natalia is engaged to Luke and the two are to be wed once he reaches the age of 20, though Luke himself does not appear to be delighted by the thought, and is often shown to be rude to his cousin, after whom he is third in the line of succession. It is later revealed that Natalia is not the true princess Natalia, who was stillborn, but is rather the daughter of Badaq and Sylvia Oakland, and was given the name Meryl by her true parents. Although his advisers originally push for Natalia to be executed for the crime of impersonating royalty, King Ingobert VI, after a great deal of uncertainty on the subject, decides that regardless of her lineage, he will accept Natalia as his daughter and heiress. Although she is shown to possess a genuine concern for her biological father, Natalia kills him with an arrow after he is fought in the Absorption Gate.
*Fon Master Ion - The young leader of the Order of Lorelei, Ion appears to be a rather sickly boy who is capable of unleashing immense power in short bursts, after which he is often shown to be entirely drained. He is one of few people alive capable of using Daathic fonic artes, though his weak constitution is later revealed to have been caused by the fact that he is not the true Ion, but rather a replica of the original Fon Master who died of an unnamed illness years ago. Although seven replicas were made in total, only three—Ion, Sync and Florian are known to have survived—with "Ion" himself possessing the powers nearest to the original Fon master, Sync being able to use Daathic fonic arts but lacking the power to read the score and Florian able to read the score, but not apparently able to do anything else.
*Mieu - A young Cheagle who was exiled from his tribe after almost bringing destruction to the forest in which they live by accidentally setting the part of the forest inhabited by ligers ablaze. After the fire the Cheagles were forced to gather food for the displaced monsters, turning toward Engeve as the nearest source of food. As his punishment, he is to go travel with Luke and to act as his servant. He is often abused by Luke, by whom he is addressed as "Thing" even after Luke's great shift in disposition, even going so far as to say "you are a thing" after apologizing for calling him so. Around his stomach, he wears the Sorcerer's Ring, an item given to the Cheagles by Yulia Jue, which both allows him to speak human language and to shoot fire from his mouth without tiring, and later to break various items such as rocks, and even fly for a brief span of time.
==Gameplay==
===Law System===
The most prominent difference between The Tales X is the Law System. In a battle, a judge is present on the map who will not fight for either side, but will merely move about, keeping himself out of the way. At times, he will move the unconscious bodies, of enemies and allies alike, from one space to another. Laws are set by judges, invincible arbiters present at each battle, with some exceptions. Laws may forbid the use of certain weapons, items, elemental spells, or status changes. Breaking a law results in punishment by carding, the receipt of a red or yellow card. Imprisonment happens if a character infringes a law twice or knocks out another unit with a forbidden ability or weapon. Jagds have no judges or laws; units knocked out in the jagds will die and permanently leave the party if they are not revived by the end of the battle.
To offset the difficulty of having things forbidden for use, there are certain things that are recommended by the judges, and therefore grant Judge Points. Judge Points (JP) are used to carry out combos with nearby allies or to summon a Totema. JP are also received upon killing an opponent. Later in the game, the player can add new Laws and cast "Antilaws" to nullify laws that are already in effect.
===Law and Antilaw Cards===
After completing one Tale,the player can start advanced mode and he will have access to Law and Antilaw Cards used to change the laws in effect on the battlefield. Law Cards (white) impose new laws, though the maximum number of Laws can never be exceeded. Antilaw Cards (black) nullify laws that are already in effect. These can be used to grant a tactical advantage during battle, as enemies must obey the law or they will suffer the same penalties the heroes do (assuming they are not wearing Hero Medals).
===Five Races===
In addition to Humans (called Humes in later renditions), there are four different character races. Moogles, represented most prominently by Montblanc, are small and friendly. Their Jobs inflict status effects and have surprisingly high defensive stat growth despite not having a class like the Paladin or the Defender. Nu Mou specialize at magic, and have one melee Job, the Morpher. Bangaa are the most physically tough, specializing in melee. Viera are an entirely female species. They can be ranged, melee, or magic, with all their Jobs speed-based, and are the most versatile race along with Humans. Each race has a certain list of Jobs they can be, many of which (though not all) will be unique to them, and each race has access to its own Totema. Additionally, the shops in various towns will have discounts on items for particular races.
===Jagds===
Although Laws govern the majority, there are three lawless locations called Jagds, which judges avoid. No actions are forbidden, nor can Judge Points be earned. A character that is KOed in these locations will, unless revived before the end of the battle, permanently leave the party (and in the case of the main protagonist, a Game Over will occur). This applies to deuteragonists and any other "storyline characters", including others. The Three Jagds are: Jagd Dorsa, Jagd Helje, and Jagd Ahli.
===Totema===
In The Tales X, summons are called Totema. Each race is tied to a Totema, which can be called for an attack, providing the user has defeated the Totema and has ten Judge Points. Even though there are Totemas, Summons can still be accessible. Unlike summons, If you have a Totema Card, You can only summon the Totema, For example, the player has 5 Mateus Totema Cards, that mean Mateus can only be summoned 5 times.
The five Totema are:
*Famfrit, the Totema of the moogles.
*Ultima, the Totema of the nu mou.
*Adrammelech, the Totema of the bangaa.
*Exodus, the Totema of the viera.
*Mateus, the Totema of the humans
===Job System===
There are 25 Job classes in The Tales X that govern a character's stats, equipment, and abilities. Most items that can be equipped have various abilities assigned to them, each available for use by characters of a certain Job while the item is equipped. When a battle is completed, characters will receive Ability Points (AP) distributed over their currently equipped abilities. Once a target amount of AP has been accumulated for a given ability, the character will master it allowing the character to use them at any time, regardless of items equipped and Job chosen. Mastery of abilities in different Jobs will eventually allow the character access to more Jobs.
Units have a primary Job which determines the stat boosts they receive when they level up and the attributes associated with that class. A unit may also have a secondary Job where they can use any abilities of the selected Job, but with the stat profile of the primary Job. For example, an Assassin with a Sniper secondary Job can use abilities from both Jobs, but has the stat profile and appearance of an Assassin, the primary Job.
