Animism

**Animism** (精霊信仰) is a religious belief native to the land of Erebonia.

## Background

Animism is disconnected from the teachings of the Septian Church. There is no single type of animism; some animists believe that objects in the natural world have a spirit, while others emphasise the reverence of one's ancestors. The people of Nord revere the wind as a spirit, and share many fundamental aspects of their religious outlook with animists in Erebonia.

While animism may be disconnected from the doctrine of the Septian Church, it does not specifically refute the church's teachings, and in many regions, animist traditions have been incorporated into the beliefs of the Septian Church. Many animists have, thus, been converted to worshipping the Goddess Aidios while retaining their traditional beliefs.

One of the animist traditions still prevalent in present-day Erebonia is the Summer Festival, which was adopted by the Septian Church. The Summer Festival is a seasonal holiday, celebrated in most major cities in Erebonia in June. The exception to the rule is Heimdallr, where the holiday is celebrated in July alongside the anniversary of the end of the War of the Lions.

People's affinity with animism, however, widely differs per region. In Legram, for example, ancient animist traditions have survived and its citizens extensively prepare its annual Summer Festival. Despite the deep roots of animism in both Legram and Nord, both also believe in the Septian Church's teachings as the church has never denied the existence of the spirits in which animists believe. In many major cities, such as Roer, Crossbell City and to a lesser extent Heimdallr, animist traditions play a significantly smaller role.

Noteable areas where animism had a hold are places connected to the Spirit Paths (septium veins), such as the outskirts of Ymir, Celdic (Lunaria Nature Park), Nord and Legram. Lunaria Nature Park positioning among agricultural fields suggest that animists chose to enshrine spirits of the forest. The stone monuments throughout the park are vestiges of animism.

## Trivia

* There are a number of similarities between animism in Erebonia and the cultural heritage of Nord. For example, animist ruins are similar to ruins attributed to the Neolithic Civilisation of Nord and nomads of the Nord celebrate a festival similar to the Summer Festival.

Anden

Private Anden is a soldier serving in the Royal Army.

He's stationed at Gurune Gate separating the cities Rolent and Grancel and can be behind the counter in the main hall, handling the paperwork for travellers passing through the gate. He mentions that ever since air travel became popular, this job hasn't been a very active one. He's a little envious that bracers can decide for themselves where they're stationed, although he does understand why the army can't have the same policy.

When spoken to again after the Intelligence Division has strengthened its hold on the army, Anden mentions he thinks its members are arrogant and openly wonders who the real terrorists are.

## Relations

Private Anden is a collegue of  Private Logan,  Private Ethan,  Private Selbourne,  Private Stoll,  Private Thomas and  Private Barranco.

He's also a subordinate of  Chief Watch Officer Robin and  Watch Officer Graves.
Dario

Dario is an inhabitant of the town of Ruan.

He lives at the Dalmore estate and serves the mayor as his butler, with his wife acting as the head maid and their daughter working as a maid as well.

He's been a servant to the Dalmore family for over 30 years and has immense respect for his master's noble background, so Dalmore's arrest is a massive shock to him and his family.

It is revealed in SC that during at least one scene in FC (the scene where the party arrests Dalmore), Bleublanc had been impersonating Dario and bore witness to Dalmore's arrest.

## Relations

Dario is the husband of Dominique, the father of Flora, an employee of  Mayor Dalmore and a colleague of Gartner, Viego and  Gilbert
Ben

Ben is an inhabitant of the town of Zeiss.

He's the owner of the Forgel Bar in the southern section of the city. While things are usually quiet during most of the day, there's usually rush hour around noon and in the early evening, since many employees from the factory eat lunch and dinner at the bar.

Zeiss, being home to a lot of scientists, engineers and factory workers who are typically all very hard workers who don't like to take a lot of time cooking or even eating. Hence, traditional Zeissian cooking is often simple and efficient; easy to cook, easy to eat and very nutritious so the person eating can get back to work with renewed vigor. At least, that's how Ben describes it. His long-time friend and unofficial co-worker Randall thinks that Ben's cooking is a little too simple and efficient and he's simply making up excuses for not having more variety in his menu.

This bothers Ben, so he starts looking for new recipes to add to his menu that still fit into what he sees as traditional Zeissian food. In order to get some additional inspiration, he posts a request at the Bracer Guild asking for potent ingredients to include in his meals. Estelle, Joshua and Tita respond to the request and let him have a special acerbic tomato that the researcher Ray was growing in the Zeiss Central Factory lab. While the extremely bitter taste of the unusual tomato nearly makes him gag, he reasons that just a little piece of tomato inside a meal might actually improve the flavor. As a thanks for introducing him to the ingredient, Ben lets Estelle have the first sample of his new meal; a special tomato sandwich. He later starts placing orders with Ray for a steady supply of bitter tomatos, determined to make his new meal a success.

While Ben is the owner of the Forgel Bar, he usually runs it together with Ursus. Whenever Ursus isn't around, he often accepts his friend Randall's help, who's one of his regular customers and spends most of his days at the Forgel Bar.

## Relations

Ben is the employer of Ursus.

He's also a friend of Randall, who usually hangs out at the bar and who helps out whenever things get too busy.
Bill

Bill is an inhabitant of the town of Grancel.

He's an old man who lives in the house across the street from the Sunnybell Inn in the southern section of the royal city, together with his wife Ilene.

He and his wife (whom he playfully calls "Shorty") have lived in Grancel all their life and have been married for decades, but Bill still enjoys her cooking and her company and hopes his children and grandchildren will get to live in peaceful times just like they have so far. Despite being senior citizens, he and his wife are still rather young in spirit.

He and his wife were given tickets to the martial arts tournament as a gift by people from the castle and they took the opportunity to go and watch it, thoroughly enjoying the matches.

Despite their happy life, they too caught rumors of the Queen's illness and were greatly worried about her. When the illness turns out to be a lie and the princess is safely returned, both Bill and his wife are greatly relieved and, no longer worrying about the kingdom's future, happily celebrate the Queen's birthday in Grancel's streets.

Bill is usually found at home, but he was briefly hanging out at the Sunnybell Inn when Olivier came crashing through the doorway after getting a whack from Estelle's staff after pushing her buttons one too many times.

## *Trails in the Sky SC*

### Background

The dwelling has been the home to Ragnard for many centuries since the time before the Great Collapse. It's hidden by a massive fog bank, preventing visibility and access by airship. Access by foot is currently only known to Whemler, a hermit who lives on the northeastern region of the valley.

In S.1182/3, Cassius Bright once paid a visit to Ragnard in its den hoping to challenge it and test his skill with a blade. While the outcome of the fight is unknown, Cassius managed to earn the dragon's trust, respect and friendship. After that battle, Ragnard continued his slumber for 20 more years.

In S.1202, the dwelling was also discovered by Georg Weissmann and Leonhardt from Ouroboros. After awakening the dragon, Weissmann forced a Gospel on his forehead to test the device's power to manipulate his will. Loewe then controlled the dragon to cause havoc over Bose.

Following the failed Operation Dragon Capture, Ragnard returns alone to the dwelling to rest. Estelle, Agate, Tita and the others are tasked with infiltrating the lair and dealing with the dragon. After recruiting Whemler's help, they confront Ragnard in a fight, during which Agate is able to destroy the Gospel. Finally free of its influence, Ragnard apologizes for his actions, makes restitution with the group and provides information. The dwelling is then abandoned by Ragnard and has not been used since.

### Quests

* Dragon Pursuit: The dwelling is the last location where the dragon is confronted.

## *Trails in the Sky the 3rd*

### Background

The dwelling serves as setting for Star Door 6: Training, Agate-Style. Agate takes Rocco, Deen and Rais to the dwelling as their test to become junior bracers. The monsters still living there pose a significant challenge for the three, which causes arguments between them. Ultimately, they're able to cooperate and reach the dragon's former lair, where Agate challenges them to a fight.

## History and Governance

### Creator

Ancient Zemurian civilisation

v **·** e

The **Ahnenburg** (アーネンベルク) is a wall surrounding the Grancel region in Liberl.

## Background

### Pre-Collapse purpose

*Main article: The Sealing Mechanism*
The Ahnenburg Wall was built before the foundation of the Liberl Kingdom in Zemuria. In their attempt to seal away the Aureole, the ancient Zemurian civilisation that originally gathered around it built the Ahnenburg to have its inner walls point toward the Aureole to reflect and guide the light that would be fired from the facility.

### Historic site

With the Aureole sealed and the Liberl Kingdom established, the original purpose of the Ahnenburg Wall became lost in time. Modern-day citizens of Liberl are unsure when the Ahnenburg was built exactly and is often estimated at a thousand years old, putting the construction date at c. S.200. Nonetheless, the Ahnenburg is regarded as one of the oldest buildings in Zemuria.

In an ancient verse, the City of Grancel is described as a pearl surrounded by the oyster shell known as the Ahnenburg.

    The ruins of Ahnenburg were later re-puposed by the Royal Army to install checkpoints between Grancel and its surrounding regions. Both the Gurune Gate, the checkpoint between Grancel and Rolent, and Sanktheim Gate, the checkpoint between Grancel and Zeiss, make use of the Ahnenburg Castle's original buildings and interior.

Students are often sent to the site to study its ruins.

### Hundred Days War

*Main article: Hundred Days War*
The Ahnenburg Wall played a crucial role in the defense of Liberl during the Hundred Days War. The invading Imperial Army of Erebonia swiftly managed to invade and occupy the Bose, Ruan, Zeiss and Rolent regions. The fifth region, Grancel and the royal capital of City of Grancel, were inaccessible thanks to the Ahnenburg Wall.

## Etymology

"Ahnenburg" is German and means "Ancestral Fortification".
Dina

Dina is an inhabitant of the city of Bose.

She works as a cleaning lady at the city's hotel, the Frieden Hotel, and outside of her job she enjoys shopping for fashion or eating good food. Around the time Estelle, Joshua and Schera arrive in Bose, Dina has even saved up enough to make a reservation at the Anterose restaurant and is really looking forward to the outing.

Unfortunately for her, her boss decides that she has to engage in overwork on the day of her outing, forcing her to cancel her reservation and putting her in a cranky mood, much to her employer's puzzlement. The difference in attitude between Dina, who views work simply as a means to earn a living and who dislikes overtime, and the more traditionally-minded Barlowe, who puts the hotel above all else in his life, seems to be a recurring conflict between the two.
Dodge

**Dodge** is a travelling merchant from Calvard visiting Liberl.

He's first met at Wolf Fort, the military checkpoint on the border between Calvard and Liberl and later travels to Zeiss where he stays at the Zahnrad Hotel and eats at the Forgel Bar whenever the hotel's kitchen is closed.

Dodge is from a remote village in a rough corner of the Republic that hasn't caught up with modern technology yet and apparantly has very different dress codes as well, since Dodge mentions having picked up some Liberlian clothes in order to blend in better in Zeiss.

Dodge's reason for travelling to Zeiss is to obtain a new heating orbment at Central Factory for use in his village, where orbments are apparantly rather rare. While Dodge is an orbment merchant at home, as a result of the rarity of orbments back in his hometown, Dodge doesn't have a great deal of technical knowledge about orbments and is considered a layman by Zeissian standards. He's confronted with this fact when
he visits Central Factory's repair desk, asks for a heating orbment, is given a large list of all the different heating orbments the company has on offer, which only serves to thoroughly confuse him. The fact that the technically-minded repair desk operator pegs him as a layman and decides not to bother explaining his options in easy-to-understand terms doesn't help either.

Fortunately for him, he was noticed by the airship salesman Rutherford, who just finished a meeting with the head of the airship design department in the factory's main hall and who helped him pick the best option for the purpose it was needed for. Dodge later muses that compared to airships, heating orbments must be extremely uncomplicated.

That evening, he has a meal at the Forgel Bar, where he comments on the simplicity of the food (though he admits it does taste good).

He meets up with Rutherford again later and ropes him into showing him around the airport. Since Dodge's village has no airport itself, he marvels at the high-tech airport located in Zeiss and is even inspired to enter the airship business someday, though his village will need to have an airport first.
Claire (NPC Rolent)

Claire is an inhabitant of Estelle's hometown of Rolent.

She's a girl usually hanging out in front of the Abend Bar. Even though she's younger than Estelle and Joshua, she nevertheless has very clear plans for the future and she sounds a lot older than she actually is. She dreams of becoming a reporter some day and working for the Liberl News. In order to practice her information-gathering skills, she likes to keep a sharp eye on her fellow townsmen and pounce on whatever rumor she can get her hands on. Because of this, she's almost always on top of the local gossip.

## Castle of Mirrors

### Country

Crossbell

v **·** e

The **Castle of Mirrors** is an attraction in Mishelam Wonderland.

## *Trails to Azure*

### Background

Initially presented as an attraction, the Castle of Mirrors is a large castle filled with mirrors, ancillary spheres and clocks, resembling a large fairytale castle. The stated goal is to climb the central staircase to the top, ring the bell and pray in front of the large mirror to have a wish granted.

After Dieter Crois' declaration of independence, the new Secretary of Defense Arios MacLaine takes KeA to Mishelam. The Special Support Section follow suit, finding the theme park overrun with Pleroma Grass, and after fighting several cryptids, they reach the Castle of Mirrors where the bell is tolling.

With the central staircase locked, the SSS climb through the fiend infested castle until they reach the top, where they find a hidden room behind the large mirror. There, Arios, Mariabell Crois and KeA are waiting with a massive alchemical machine.

Mariabell reveals that funding and development for Mishelam, including the Wonderland, were all part of the 1000 year plan of the Crois Family of Alchemists to create an artificial replacement for their lost Sept-Terrion. Mishelam itself is built in an area with an especially notable concentration of spiritual energy through the septium veins running below, with the **Castle of Mirrors** acts as the fourth and final point in an alchemical cross, designed to receive the channeled energy from the Moon Temple, Sun Fort and Stargazer's Tower and the Geofront through the Thaumaturgical Sector of the Orchis Tower.

The SSS try to stop the process, but Arios stands in their way and defeats them easily, forcing them to watch as KeA ascends to become the Sept-Terrion of Zero. Afterwards, Erebonia and Calvard begin their invasion of Crossbell after the IBC's asset freeze, but the three new Aions, empowered by KeA, easily defeat the invading force, with Aion Type-α obliterating Garrelia Fortress with the new Sept-Terrion's power over the higher elements.

The SSS end up arrested on the spot by the Crossbell Defense Force and Noel Seeker, with Arios confirming to Lloyd that he was the one that killed Guy Bannings.

## Background

The National police are active across the Republic. The branch operating in the capital, Edith are referred to as the Capital Police.

### *Trails through Daybreak*

The police run into Van Arkride and the Arkride Solutions Office on several occasions throughout the story. On most occasions, they are on the hunt for suspicious individuals or criminals such as Grimcats or members of Almata. They dislike people who skirt the law with their actions and therefore are not on good terms with Van. Because Van is caught in suspicious circumstances more than once, the police find dealing with him especially egregious. Influence from the Central Intelligence Division and Rene Kincaid often get Van out of these situations.

As the game progresses, the inspectors build a begrudging respect for Van and his methods, and how working on the dark side of things can often get things done that they cannot.

Dino

Dino is a member of the Capua Sky Bandits.

He's first seen in Mistwald after he, Josette, Lyall and Lonnie succesfully broke into Mayor Klaus' home and stole the septium crystal. Unfortunately for them, Estelle, Joshua and Scherazard tracked them down and subdued them in battle before taking back the crystal. The only reason they managed to get away was because Kyle Capua arrived in the Bobcat to force the bracers back and allow his companions to escape.

Dino is seen again when he accompanies Josette and Kyle to southern Bose for their meeting with Lorence. Upon returning to the hideout, he and his fellow sky bandit Lonnie are among the ones who guard the hostages in the lower level of the hideout. They're quickly beaten into unconsciousness by the bracers, though they manage to get their bearings back in time to form the first line of defense against the bracers' pursuit of the Capuas. The army arrives in time to cut off the escape route, however, and Dino (along with everyone else in the gang) is captured and imprisoned in Leiston Fortress.

During the chaos of the Intelligence Division's coup being thwarted, Dino and the rest of the sky bandits manage to escape and are once again at large by the time First Chapter ends.

During flight, Dino handles the stabilizers on the Bobcat.

## Relations

Dino is a fellow sky bandit of Lyall, Lonnie, Aaron, Rosco and Ryan.

He's also a subordinate of Josette, Kyle and Don Capua.

The cafeteria remains open during the school festival to act as a rest area and Deborah remains on duty during that time to provide an alternative to the crepes, popcorn and ice cream available at the various stands. One of the customers she does get to serve is Professor Alba, who comments about the low price of the food she sells.

## Physical information

### Gender

Female

v **·** e

**Clara Voce** (クララ・ヴォーチェ) is introduced as a sculptor and student of Thors Military Academy's Class III ('03-'05).

## Profile

### Appearance

Clara is a young woman with brown eyes and blonde hair which is gathered up into several knots on her head, tied with multi-coloured sets of beads. She wears the commoners' uniform of Thors Military Academy: a green and white blazer with padded sleeves, a white shirt, red neck tie and tan chequered skirt with black tights. Clara often has a sullen, tired expression with dark rings under her eyes.

### Personality

Clara is devoted to art; very few things outside of art catch her attention. Despite this, she can easily maintain good grades without having to study at all. She cares for her tools, believing that if one of them breaks, it signifies something bad is about to happen soon.

### *Trails of Cold Steel I* and *II*

Clara is the head of the Arts Club. She is almost always seen working on her masterpieces in the art club room, letting little distract her form her work. When she saw Vita's life vision and the supposed assassination of Giliath Osborne, Clara's sculpting tools broke, which she took as an ill omen. After the Noble Alliance invaded Trista, Clara was one of the many students who fled the academy.

She would eventually make her way to the Nord Highlands, sculpting away as usual. Class VII located her and asked her to join the Courageous, which she agreed to as long as they brought her some stone to sculpt with from a nearby quarry. After they brought her the stone, Clara agreed to join the crew. While in the highlands, she also discovered some ruins, entering them and finding an ancient tool and some wall paintings. She discovered that the wall paintings were instructions to create orbs to empower Valimar, and would help Rean in creating and inserting orbs for him.

After graduation, Clara became a sculptor full-time, with news of her work being reported in the Imperial Chronicle.

### *Trails of Cold Steel IV*

During the Great War, Clara is one of the unseen Thors Graduates that helps on board the Ark Royal. She think it is a tenuous plan, but has been working hard and all they can do is follow through. She and Hibelle will be in charge of the maintenance and manoeuvring of the armored soldiers

## Character Notes

Crois Family

The **Crois Family** (クロイス家) is a historically influential family in Crossbell.

## Background

Prior to the Great Collapse, ancestors of the Crois Family were given the Sept-Terrion of Mirage. It bestowed knowledge upon the family, hoping to assist them in guiding their faction. When Demiourgos realised its knowledge was merely abused, it decided to cease its own existence. Since its disappearance, the Crois family feared the loss of their power and dedicated themselves to creating a replacement for the centuries following the Great Collapse.

During the 8th Century, they decided on alchemy as their method of choice and prepared a plan that would span multiple centuries to complete. They formed the D∴G Cult and entrusted it with the core, a homunculus referred to as KeA capable of containing the reborn Demiourgos. While the D∴G Cult was tasked with awakening the core, the Crois family themselves focused on banking in order to gather the financial resources necessary for the final phases of their plan.

### Azure-Zero Project

*Main article: Azure-Zero Project*
Ultimately, their creation ended up as the Sept-Terrion of Zero(零(ゼロ)の至宝), a human-made Sept-Terrion born out of a revived Demiourgos with the homunculus KeA at its core. The plan was executed by Mariabell Crois. When the plan reaches its completion, Mariabell abandons her father, Dieter, and his political ambition of using KeA and her powers to defend and expand Crossbell's control. Mariabell's plans were far grander: she desired to rewrite history itself.

After losing the Sept-Terrion of Zero due to the Special Support Section's intervention, Mariabell is invited by the Grandmaster of Ouroboros to join their cause as the Third Anguis. She accepts the position.

*Main article: Liber Ark*

### Region

Liber Ark

v **·** e

**Calmare** (カルマーレ) is one of the districts that compose the Liber Ark. It's composed of hexagonal sections full of parks.

## *Trails in the Sky SC*

### Background

> Built as the ultimate in rest and relaxation for the citizens of the Ark, the Calmare district is Liber Ark's premiere park and recreation district, located in the west of the city. Each section of the park, designed around the theme of 'harmony between progress and nature,' is a hexagon exactly 300 arge across. Calmare as a whole is made up of dozens of dozens of these hexagons.
> The Calmare District has four Halo Rail stations--North, South, East and West.
> Each station's tour path routes through different sections of Calmare, allowing one to enjoy vistas of all the seasons and wildlife Calmare has to offer.
>
> ―West Calmare Station

The Arseille crash-lands on the edge of the Liber Ark after being taken down by Leonhardt on his Reverie Dragion, almost falling off. The occupants head out of the airship to see that they've landed in a park-like area, and Sieg informs them that they are on the western edge of the Ark, while the Glorious is docked on the opposite side.

After assessing the damage done to the airship, Estelle and Joshua lead a party to explore the city (not before Joshua and Kevin prepare their own business) while the rest stays behind to help with the repairs and the Capel deciphers the Data crystals. Taking the nearby elevator to a station up in the air, they manage to open the door to some tunnels that lead elsewhere in the city.

Once they've reached the Axis Pillar, the Arseille's repairs are complete enough that Julia Schwarz and Mueller Vander request to join the party.

Crossbell Special Inspectorate

The **Crossbell Special Inspectorate** (クロスベル特別視察団) is a body within the imperial government of Erebonia tasked with inspecting and reporting on developments within Crossbell.

The organisational structure of the Special Inspectorate was kept under wraps until it made its debut on May 20, S.1206. Its members were revealed as Carl Regnitz, governor of Heimdallr; Irina Reinford, chairman of Reinford Group; prince Olivert Reise Arnor and princess Alfin Reise Arnor. The latter in particular brought about "Her Highness the Princess fever" among the Crossbellans, who admire her for her angel-like appearance.

Results of the Special Inspectorate cover a wide array of topics, inclduing politics, economics, military affairs, technology, medical care and international affairs. The plans were drafted by Crossbell governor-general Rufus Albarea.
EX Orb

**EX Orbs** (EXオーブ, *ekusu oobu*), also known as **Ancient Orbs** (古の宝珠, *inishie no houshu*), are orbs that can be inserted in the core of a Divine Knight to enhance its basic parameters. Ancient technology, like the tool found by Clara in the Ancient Quarry in *Trails of Cold Steel II*, is required to create EX Orbs.

Valimar is the only known Divine Knight to support this technology and can hold up to three EX Orbs at the same time.

See the following list for the EX Orbs available.

* **Cold Steel II**
* **Cold Steel III**
* **Cold Steel IV**
Danton

Danton is an inhabitant of the town of Grancel.

He's a store clerk working at Edel's Department Store located in the eastern section of the royal city. Danton's the person in charge of selling accessories. His boss, Edel, recently came back from a trip through the country, though Danton had been hoping she'd stay away a little while longer since he finds her presence overbearing. Nevertheless, when she proposes a company trip to the Bose Market to "study the competition" some more, he's pretty excited about the prospect himself.

Danton likes to keep up with the national news and is aware of the various crises that took place in other cities. He's particularly upset with the political turn of events in Ruan, since it's prevented them from receiving new shipments of fresh fish, something he's very fond of, though he's glad that Ruan at least has held elections and the house of Dalmore is on its way out.

He's also pretty annoyed with the tightening security in Grancel, especially after the closing of the airport prevents the store from replenishing its stock. Despite the rumors about the Royal Guard having staged a terrorist attack, Danton still has faith in the Queen's retainers and states that if a member came to the store to seek shelter, he'd hide him or her in a heartbeat.

## Relations

Danton is an employee of Edel and a colleague of Kitty, Midee and Lily.

### Region

Phantasma

v **·** e

The **Abyss** (深淵) is an area in the dimension of Phantasma, acting as the Seventh Plane of Phantasma, together with Gehenna.

## *Trails in the Sky the 3rd*

### Background

After Kevin, Ries and Gilbert are able to escape from Gehenna talks to the help of Celeste D. Auslese and the rest, she reveals that she has found a separate side to the Seventh Plane, accessible only through warping directly to a monument there.

The Abyss is a "test" plane for punishments, with the same area being repeated while full of increasingly powerful fiends. After each set of four areas, a fountain acts as a break point after a particularly strong fiend, which drops a piece of Zemurian Ore after being defeated the first time. The end of the fourth set, the Depths of the Abyss, is where the final Memory Door can be found, and where the Tempest Pom can be fought if the other three boss fiends have been defeated.

Carrie

Carrie is an inhabitant of the town of Bose.

She works as an orbal craftswoman at Lucir Orbal Factory in the southern section of Bose. Over the course of a short time, the shop changes hands twice, but Carrie remains rather indifferent to the politics downstairs. She doesn't seem to have a strong personal connection with either owner, only working at the orbal factory in order to pursue her creative interests, although she likes Nigel less than Cornelius due to the former cramping her artistic instincts, as she puts it, while the latter gave her space to do things at her own pace.

## Relations

Carrie is the employee of Cornelius and temporarily of Nigel.

Carla

Carla is an inhabitant of the seaside village of Manoria.

Unlike many of the villagers, Carla's not a native. She and her husband Rex moved to Manoria years ago and set up the village's famed White Magnolia Inn together.

When the nearby Mercia Orphanage burns down, Carla and her husband allow the matron and children to stay at the inn free of charge until the place can be rebuilt. The children turn out to be excellent playmates for her daughter Lucia, who's usually the only child in the village, although Carla does feel that the orphans could be a little less rowdy sometimes.

While she and her husband are usually busy running the inn, they do manage to make time to visit Jenis Royal Academy during the school festival together with their daughter.

She and her daughter later on go on a trip to see the royal capital and end up attending the martial arts tournament, getting a little addicted to the thrill of the spectacle, even though the team she's cheering for in the finale doesn't end up winning.

She and Lucia are still in Grancel by the time the Queen's birthday celebration is held and, being both fans of Sorbet's ice cream, are seen enjoying some ice cream near her stand. She's hanging out there together with Clare, whom she met and befriended during her stay in the royal city, watching their children play together.

## Relations

Carla is the wife of Rex and the mother of Lucia. She eventually ends up meeting and befriending Clare.
Burt

Burt is an inhabitant of the town of Ruan.

He's a member of the Raven Gang who hangs out in the warehouse district near the city docks and occasionally causes trouble there. He's found hanging out inside the warehouse together with the rest of the gang.

When Clem comes storming into the gang's warehouse and gets threatened by the gang's leaders, Burt doesn't participate in the fight against Estelle, Joshua and Kloe, though he's presumably present when Agate shows up and intimidates the gang into submission.

After or during the school festival, the mayor's steward Gilbert apparently visits their hideout, but Burt can't remember what happened next. He and the other Ravens are controlled and made to guard the stairways leading up to the top floor of the lighthouse where they're defeated once more by Estelle, Joshua, Kloe and Agate, although they put up a much tougher fight than before. After being beaten yet again, they're locked in Manoria Village's windmill shed until the army arrives. Since it's decided that they were being controlled, they aren't taken to Leiston Fortress and return to Ruan instead.

After Estelle and Joshua travel to Zeiss, Burt and the rest of the Ravens engage in some training and eventually enroll in the martial arts competition taking place in Grancel. Unfortunately for them, they don't end up winning the tournament, one of their teams being taken out by Zin fighting on his own while the other one gets beaten by the team consisting of Estelle, Joshua, Zin and Olivier. After their defeat, they presumably return to Ruan without sticking around until the end of the competition.

Burt has apparently been a member of the Ravens for a long time, since he was already part of the gang when Agate was still the leader. Despite the fact that Agate's a bracer now, Burt and the others still respect him.

## Relations

Burt is a subordinate of Deen, Rais and Rocco.

He's also a fellow gang member of Picaro, Bargo, Belden, Jabu and Terence.
