Lares

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

**Lares** is one of the first main antagonists seen in *Solatorobo* and plays a large part all the way throughout the story. It is a gigantic Titano-Machina that is awakened by Bruno Dondurma who tries to control it.

## Appearance

Lares is a silvery blue colour all over and is a giant quadrupedal being of metal and earthen matter awoken from its slumber by Bruno Dondurma, and has proportionally rather small eyes that are shown as either purple, blue or yellow and glow brightly to signify its awakening. Lares' back is adorned by 3 spikes that are the size of buildings. Lares' face is quite an unnerving sight as it appears to be human-like but not very expressive. A large horn protrudes from the front of the giant monsters' forehead that is in line with its back.

The top of Lares is covered in living organisms that have grown on it over time, whereas the bottom shows lots of detail and not very natural markings on him, implying that he may have been created by something or someone. His chest is lined with futuristic patterns and lights, all centered around a bright orb in the middle of his chest. His legs, although hardly visible through the plasma sea beneath the Shepherd Islands, are single-jointed and adorned with what appears to be metallic veins or roots stretching along the back. The front of Lares' two front legs are bare and show a metal shine, however, the front of the two back legs have frilled spikes all the way around, almost like some kind of footwear. Lares also has a long, scaled tail that makes up about half of his length and is a bright white at the very tip.

## Trivia

* Lares, in its concept art, was once a six-legged creature with more dinosaur-like appearance. This design would be repurposed for Vanargand a little over ten years later.
Mamoru

## Mamoru-kun

**Mamoru** is the titular protagonist of the Mamoru-kun safety awareness program. He is a young Caninu who is following in his father's footsteps by wanting to be a Rescue Ranger. He also has a rivalry with the ninja thieves Nyanja and Monja.

## Biography

Mamoru, a 4th grader in the children's fire brigade, can be described as a spry and courageous boy who's always ready to face danger for the sake of saving innocent lives. He is very cautious, often knowing when suspicious individuals are up to no good, with ???? being a prime example. While Mamoru isn't much for studying, his motor skills are outstanding which can be seen as he rides his bicycle. He is also very energetic, though his excitability can lead him into trouble sometimes.

Mamoru's family consists of his father Tasuku Yashima, his mother, his sister Matoi-chan, and his grandfather. While Mamoru seems annoyed by his sister on the surface, he still cares for her deeply.

Mamoru is a brown and white Caninu with reddish hair. His children's fire brigade attire includes a red, white and blue happi coat, matching shorts and boots, and a cap with goggles.

### Equipment

Mamoru has a few important pieces of equipment which he uses frequently:

* **Transmission Whistle** - Mamoru's whistle is attached to the collar on his neck. The whistle is connected to rubber-like bands that can extend and retract from the collar. This whistle is connected to the Crystal Tower in the center of his town. When blown, the whistle transmits whatever information Mamoru needs to get out to the Crystal Tower, then the tower broadcasts the information into the minds of every person in the town.
* **Firefighting Gun** - The backpack contains a compressor that allows the water stored in the tanks to be ejected at high pressures. The valve on the top adjusts the pressure of the water.

## Trivia

* The name ***Mamoru** (守る)* means "to protect; to guard; to defend"
* Considering how the world of Little Tail Bronx functions, the gem in Mamoru's whistle could very likely be a form of Juno
Princess Terria

**Princess Terria** is the tomboy princess of Prarie Kingdom introduced in Tail Concerto.

## Biography

Throughout the events in *Tail Concerto* it's established that Princess Terria is unlike most princesses. She has a strong will and isn't afraid to take matters into her own hands, even if it puts her in great danger. As much of a tomboy she is, she still remains soft spoken and collected.

Terria is also quite flirtatious, especially to Waffle Ryebread and Red Savarin. While Waffle seems a bit dense to her advances, Red catches on and tends to politely push her back. These interactions have caused a great amount of jealousy to Alicia Pris and Elh Melizée, with the former felineko seeing it as competition for Waffle's heart.

Princess Terria appears dressed elegantly at all times. Adorned with a gold crown and matching jewelry, she exudes royalty. Her hair is a gorgeous golden color that almost blends into her cream fur. Her dress is a very pale pastel pink and features prominent puff sleeves which altogether fit into a royal princess stereotype.

## In Solatorobo

Princess Terria serves a minor role in *Solatorobo* solely in the Duel Ship. During Red Savarin's first venture into the ship both Terria and Cyan are impressed with his performance, leading them to meet him in the prep area. Despite Red not addressing her formally she seems to not mind whatsoever as she prefers to remain incognito. She cheers Red on to win the competition and even refers to him as "Sir Red".
Mau

## Mau

### Location

Free Lands of Gasco (Fuga)
Shepherd Republic (Solatorobo)

### Notable Inhabitants

Ozir
Chuck
Steven
Moine
Raisin Sec

**Mau** is home to a historical society of Felineko who train to master Nono magic. It is part of the Shepherd Republic in *Solatorobo* and was originally a part of the Free Lands of Gasco in *Fuga: Melodies of Steel*.

## History

When Mau was a part of the large continent of Gasco, the place appeared much more arid and had more prominent upside-down wolf statues.

During the Berman invasion, Mau was nearly wiped of its Felineko population and became a large prison camp. The camp was ultimately made to be Doktor Blutwurst's playground where he conducted many torturous experiments that contributed to Shvein Hax's Bio-Energy battery plan. The camp was then broken into by the children aboard the Taranis and soon became abandoned. While some Felineko survived the experiments, many had already been drained of their life.

After Vanargand awakens and fragments Gasco into an archipelago, Mau would become part of the Shepherd Republic some centuries later. The climate of the village became greener though far windier. The prominence of the Oshilasama belief had also risen, with most if not all of its inhabitants being devout followers.

## Culture

Mau has always been populated by Felinekos, with Caninus being very few to none. The land is well known for being a prominent training ground for male Mauians following the Oshilasama belief. Female Mauians are prohibited from entering the training grounds, however, and overall appear to have less rights in the region. It is very rare for male Caninus to undergo training.

Male Mauians are not considered "real men" until they have completed their training in mastering Nono. To master these skills in Mau requires going through vigorous tasks such as dodging dangerous obsticals and most commonly focus training.

## Biography

Suzette is a brown and gray Felineko with green hair. She dresses in what seems to be a cross between sailor-fuku and mechanic wear, complete with a pack on her belt that is filled with tools. She is very unique for a Felineko as the species is usually far less interested in mechanical work.

## Trivia

* Both her Japanese and English names can be combined as Crêpes Suzette, which is a tangy French dessert.
Flare Pris

**Flare Pris** is the youngest sister of the Pris sisters & co-leader of the Black Cats Gang in Tail Concerto.

## Biography

Flare is the adopted sister of Alicia and Stare. Young and hyper, she looks up to Alicia and follows whatever she believes. As the youngest, she is the most active and energetic. While she does not share Alicia's hatred of the Caninu, she does enjoy causing mischief to them.

Flare is the most energetically designed of the Pris sisters, with a bright color palette that really drives the fact that she's the youngest & most happy-go-lucky sister. Her sense of style is also the most pirate-like due to her do-rag and striped tank top, which fits the Black Cats Gang's reputation of being seen as sky pirates in *Solatorobo*.

When we were little

We've met

Burying tender memories in my heart

A shining star that makes noise (*Sabi seraa*)

Make the future come true (*Sabi seraa*)

I wish for lots of light to shine on you

For a long time, when I was little

You cried, didn't you?

Your strong face

The setting sun shines

*Sabi Seraa Saiya*
Minnaa saya

For a long time, when we were little

Taking the shadows of the clouds, the two of us running together

There was laughter

Everyone is still the same (*Sabi Seraa*)

Just like the old days (*Sabi Seraa*)

If you flutter by my side, the world won't mind

Let's go up to that sky (*Sabi Seraa*)

Even though I'm going away (*Sabi Seraa*)

Just because you're here, I can move forward.

The Adventures of Sucre

The cover for "The Adventures of Sucre -The Vanishing Key Arc-"

**The Adventures of Sucre** is a fictional comic series in *Fuga: Melodies of Steel*. The series follows an adventurer named Sucre and his sidekicks Crema & Miella as they solve their clients' mysteries.

## History

### Fuga: Melodies of Steel

The Adventures of Sucre comic series was written and illustrated by an artist under the pen name "Lunet". Not much else is known about the artist other than passing comments from readers that they often feature the moon in their work, possibly as a symbol or a reference to their name.

Only one story out of the series is viewable in *Fuga*, which is titled *"-The Vanishing Key Arc-"*.

### Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2

A man who refers to himself as and dresses like Count Nouvellune occasionally meets Malt during his journey. He gifts comics from the series to those who catch his interest.

## Characters

### Sucre

The comic's titular protagonist. Sucre is a courageous 15-year-old boy with a sense of justice. When push comes to shove, his wit is his weapon.

### Crema

Sucre's buddy and female pet owl that understands spoken language.

### Miella

Sucre's lively, childhood friend. She tends to be a little too helpful.

### The Doctor

An oddball inventor. He creates some amazing inventions even though they usually break right away.

### Inspector Kafi

A friend of Sucre's father (whose whereabouts are unknown) who understands Sucre well.

### Professor Burri

Previously an archeology professor, Burri was banished from the academic society after his fraud was discovered. He is a money grubber.

### Count Nouvellune

A mysterious man in a mask. He persuades Professor Burri to come along and steal treasure.

## Trivia

* The comic makes a couple references to past Little Tail Bronx titles, with one being Professor Burri taking his design straight from Fool and the pendant looking very similar to the two medallions used to seal Lares and Lemures.
* Count Nouvellune is revealed to be a human in the comic's final chapter. When he takes his mask off, his silhouette does not possess animalistic ears nor a muzzle.
* A few village children throughout Gasco question Lunet's knowledge of certain aspects, mostly over the technology presented in the comic. They also make a point of the moon being a large theme.
	+ This is not the only time the moon is mentioned in *Fuga*, as Jeanne had wondered if humans were able to inhabit the moon within her archives.
Blanck

**Blanck** (ブランク, *Burannku*) is a male hybrid and one of the antagonists appeared in the 2nd part of Solatorobo. He and Nero, are known to be the two successful psuedo-hybrids created by a research facility by the original hybrid, Baion. He pilots the Srvara-AZI01, which is powered by thermal nuclear energy.

????

## ????

**????** is an unnamed stranger and antagonist in the "*Mamoru-Kun Crime Prevention Book*" series. He is always shown attempting to lure children into being kidnapped. His entire character is used to teach young children in Japan to not trust suspicious adults.

## Biography

This unnamed Felineko is extremely predatory towards young children. He often prowls about in parks and alleyways looking for a victim, to who he'll attempt to lure with trading cards or straight up lies. He owns a dingy-colored van which he utilizes to abduct the children he fools. Whenever he sees another adult present he will go into hiding. All of these characteristics point to him being a pedophile.

He is quite obese and is dressed in such a way that somewhat hides his identity, with his small sunglasses obscuring his eyes. He owns a camera that is never shown being used, though considering everything else about the character it's likely used to photograph unknowing minors.
Anju

Anju is a religion found in the world of *Little Tail Bronx*. Anju involves worshiping abstract objects that resemble feathers referred to as "Icons", as well as preaching the teachings found in their bible, which they always have with them. Religious precept is not very strict, and devout followers make a habit of worshiping on Sundays. With the majority of followers being Caninu, it's not uncommon for a city's population to mainly be made up of Anjalists in countries such as the Shepherd Republic.

The presence of Anju was first presented in *Solatorobo*, specifically in its holy land of Samoyede. *Fuga: Melodies of Steel* would go on to reveal that this religion was also present in Vizsla before the Berman Empire's invasion.

## Customs and Traditions

### Marriage Ceremonies

At an Anjalist wedding, the groom wears a tuxedo or frock coat, and the bride wears a wedding dress. Male attendees wear tuxedos, morning coats, or a double breasted suit (including similar attire). The females wear skirt suits, pantsuits, or various dresses (though the dress should be somewhat simple).

### Funerals

Anjalist funerals involve a cremation and burying of some of the bones (fangs) while the rest is scattered to the sky. Mourners at the funeral bring "one specific white flower" (the number of flowers being the number of attendees). Males at a funeral wear a double breasted suit or attire similar to a morning coat (with the vest's cord collar removed). Females wear a skirt suit, a pantsuit, or a one-piece dress (or similar). It is customary for females to wear a black veil as a part of their attire. Regardless of gender, funeral clothing should always be black.

Traditionally, a gravesite is made to pray to the spirits. Usually only flowers are offered, and in Samoyede, the flowers of snow lilies are often offered. Headstones are simple, with a design featuring the Anju Icon.

### Views on Life and Death

According to the Anju faith, when someone dies, that person continues to exist as a spirit. It is said that those who did good deeds during their lifetime go to heaven, while wrongdoers are sent to hell. Another belief is that birds are sacred messengers that return souls to heaven.
Matoi-chan

**Matoi** is the younger sister of Mamoru.

## Biography

Matoi is a first-year in grade school and part of the Junior Fire Fighters. Much like her brother, she is energetic and kind. She looks up to Mamoru, so she follows him around all the time. Although she is gentle and sweet, she sometimes ends up causing trouble due to her immense curiosity. Unbeknownst to everyone, especially Matoi herself, she possesses the potential to "calm a dragon" .
Rose

**Rose** is one of the seven hybrid children who is introduced throughout the Red Data Children side-stories for Solatorobo.

## Biography

Out of all the seven Red Data children, Rose is the only Felineko hybrid within the group but is permanently always in trance. To prevent Vermillion or Rouge to spot her, she wraps herself in bandages to conceal her human skin. Rose is the most proficient in magical abilities among the hybrids, so she does not require a dedicated Robo. She wasn't created in the research facility from strain cells as most hybrids were, but instead captured when she was young. She suffers several experiments in the facility from where she escapes at the age of 14.

## History

She is found by Carmine who takes her away to Panne's orphanage where she lives with Red and Chocolat over the course of a few months. During her time in the orphanage, she finds and takes care of a bell-bird named Sue. After the incident with Vermilion and Rouge & the erasure of Red's memory, she travels with Carmine to Abyssina (where she is supposedly from) for 8 years, which after that then comes back to the Shepherd Republic.
Nero

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

**Nero** (ネロ, *Nero*) (do not confuse with Nero from Devil May Cry seires) is one of the antagonists who appears in the 2nd half of Solatorobo. She and Blanck, are known to be the two successful psuedo-hybrids created by a research facility by the original hybrid, Baion. She pilots the Zairita-AZI02, which is powered by Photon energy.

## Biography

Nero herself looks like a young girl with blond hair and a cybernetic black and pink overalls. There is a large pink sphere on the chest, and rings flutter on the hips and shoulders. There are also two pink wings behind her back.

## Personality

From an early age she was taught only one goal - to kill. Like Blanck, she has no personality, only a goal - to follow the Order and kill those who stand in the way of her master. However, she seems to be more polite than Blanck, and seems to look down on others.
Toffee

**Toffee** (トフィー, *Tofī*) is a minor character that from *Solatorobo* who appears solely in the Duel Ship.

## Trivia

* In the early stages of development, "Toffee" appeared as Merveille Million's assistant. In truth, her real identity was the daughter of Bruno Dondurma and would be responsible for monitoring Merveille, but that ended up being cut entirely.

Québec

**Québec** (ゲベック, *Gebeku*) is a minor character in Solatorobo. He is a retired Kurvaz Hunter who appears most often in Airedale.

## Biography

Québec, despite his gruff appearance, is a fairly laid back and humorous type of person. In the past he was shown to be a bit more stern but still very caring for his comrades. This softer side of him is still present when he's around Chocolat Gelato.

Québec is a tall tiger Felineko. His two layers of white fur flare out more than any other tiger's shown in *Little Tail Bronx*, giving him an aged appearance. There's been one instance where he's shown without his large white mane in the art book *Solatorobon,* implying that he trims or shaves it off during hotter seasons. He has many black stripes including a couple bordering his nose, which give the appearance of facial hair. He suffers from a missing eye and a crippled right leg. Both injuries were caused by Nero shooting both body parts.

Despite no longer being a hunter, Québec still wears hunter attire.

## Trivia

* Since Québec is always keeping a sharp eye on Chocolat, the development team has made it clear that "he is in no way a lolicon".
	+ The story *Bitter Rain* confirms that he knew Chocolat's father, Cacao Gelato, which would explain why he watches out for Chocolat.
* Québec can be seen wearing what appears to be a ruby ring in his in-game portrait art, though it's not present in his concept art nor overworld sprite.
Tail Concerto

This article contains **Tail Concerto** spoilers, continue at your own risk.

Main Menu Screen

***Tail Concerto*** (Japanese: テイルコンチェルト Hepburn: *Teiru Koncheruto*) is an action-adventure platform video game developed by CyberConnect2 for the PlayStation. It was published by Bandai in Japan in April 1998, France the following December, and North America in November 1999 by Atlus. The game features character designs and artwork by manga artist Nobuteru Yūki.

## Story

***MAIN STORY UNDER CONSTRUCTION***

An epilogue novel was created for *Tail Concerto* called *After That Concerto.*

## Gameplay

The gameplay of Tail Concerto is simple, befitting of its status as the first game in the series. The player controls Waffle Ryebread in his police robo, which has its own set of moves

**Grab** - By pressing the circle button, Waffle will grab an object in front of him. This is not only used to capture kittens, but also to pick up items, collect them and throw them

**Bubble** - By pressing the square button, the police robo will fire a bubble from a circular device at the front of the mech. This can be held down in order to properly aim a shot. The bubble is primarily used for stunning kittens, but is also the only way to damage vehicles and bosses without throwing back their projectiles with the aforementioned grab ability. This is upgraded at the very end of the game to deal more damage in the form of a green blast

**Dive** - By quickly tapping either left, right or down on the D-Pad and hitting the cross button, Waffle will dive in that direction. While not useful at first, it becomes invaluable during latter bosses, due to their attacks being more challenging to avoid

The player must use these abilities in order to capture all the kittens in a level, which will then yield that stage's crystal and allow for the boss to be fought. After every level, the player returns to Waffle's hometown of Porto in order to learn where the next stage is

## Music

The main theme for the Japanese version titled *"For Little Tail" (*テイルコンチェルトOP「For little tail」*)* was performed by Kokia, which would be recorded just a year before her musical debut in 1998. The song was referred as an "illusion song" by Kokia as it would never see an official album release until the release of her 2010 album *"Road to Glory ~Long Journey~"*. The same album would also feature an alternate and extended version of the song titled *"For little tail ～once～".*

LieN would go on to cover *"For Little Tail"* in their "Azur" album. A live version was also performed. The group then created an entirely new song for the game in the Tail Concerto Perfect Soundtrack titled *"TAIL CONCERTO -Floating Island Story-"*.

The English version of *Tail Concerto* would instead feature an instrumental opening song composed by CC2. The French release of the game, however, would retain Kokia's song.

## Spin-Offs

There's One-shot manga when released 1998.

Far on the other side of the sky,

a lone star is twinkling.

To come across you

is without a doubt my destiny.

Because everyone is lonely,

everyone tries to nestle close to someone.

I can hear your voice as it fills up

the loneliness somewhere in my heart.

This beginning is not a fortuitous accident.

We're already bonded to each other.

If our bond has nothing but hardships,

then let's replace them with memories.

I will not let go of your held hand,

no matter what kind of fate tries to separate us.

I won't leave you by yourself. I'll always stay by you.

The star of hope is watching over us.

Do not let go of my held hand,

for I want you to always stay close to me.

I want my voice to be

the warmth in your heart.

The same old days

have been casually passing on.

But now I'm finally realizing

that this is precisely what happiness is.

No matter when, no matter where,

as long as I'm with you...

I will not let go of your held hand,

no matter what kind of fate tries to separate us.

I won't leave you by yourself. I'll always stay by you.

The star of hope is watching over us.

Do not let go of my held hand,

for I want you to always stay close to me.

I want my voice to be

the warmth in your heart.

Hybrid

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

Hybrids are a limited group of Felinekos and Caninus created in the Hybrid Facility. They were introduced in *Solatorobo* and were further explored in its side-stories.

## Biology

### Physique

Hybrids can appear as normal Caninus, Felinekos, and in very rare cases even human. Their ability to function normally varies dramatically, as many experiments would deteriorate and die rapidly while only some could live peacefully despite some complications. Those who aren't so lucky had been known to suffer random bouts of extreme pain, sometimes so much that it could cause vomiting.

A very specific group of Hybrids, named "pseudo-hybrids", have the ability to switch between their normal bodies and human bodies either on command or unwillingly. Those who change form without control are typically transformed via a trigger or as they near death. Some pseudo-hybrids are permanently stuck in their human forms, leading them to cover the majority of their skin and facial features to better blend in with normal civilization. Pseudo-hybrids who can transform willingly tend to stick to one form rather than continuously swap.

### Supernatural Abilities

Most Hybrids can exhibit abilities that no other Caninu nor Felineko can possess. These include but are not limited to clairvoyance, possession, memory manipulation, sensory-tuning via contact, and enhanced Robo control.
Russel Ryebread

**Russel Ryebread** is Prarie Kingdom's most enthusiastic archaeologist and Waffle Ryebread's grandfather. He is first introduced in *Tail Concerto* as Waffle explores Airleaf.

## Biography

Russel Ryebread is an avid archaeologist & historian, always being found exploring Prairie for remnants of ancient civilizations and reading up on whatever history he can through multiple books. While he possesses a wise and knowledgable atmosphere, he's also a known alcoholic and has been accused of using people on one occassion by a friend in Coolant. His drinks of choice are often wines and he has been spotted drunk driving by his grandson at least once, though Russel seems to brush off near-death experiences in a comical manner.

Russel is an older yet spry Caninu senior with cream fur and white hair. His small spectacles and bushy eyebrows give him a slightly stern yet intelligent demeanor. His outfit is primarily khaki and green colored, with his puffy pants and shoulder pads adding a black accent throughout.

## Trivia

* While Russel is known to be a wine-addicted drunk throughout *Tail Concerto* and its additional media, he was rewritten to be sober in the game's English release. When Waffle finds him passed out in Airleaf in this version, he was written to have fallen asleep while driving his airship. This was to keep the game at an E rating under the ESRB and was also a common translation trope at the time.
	+ Despite this censorship, a man in Resaca still mentions Russel's preference for the town's wine.
Earth Dragon

The **Earth Dragon** is one of the characters in the Mamoru-kun series.

## Biography

The Earth Dragon was sealed away on an island due to his mischief and frequent misdeeds. However, this seal was broken by Nyanja who stole the Golden Seal and used it to free him. Since she possesses the Golden Seal, the Earth Dragon must follow her orders. He has the ability to shrink, grow, and cause natural disasters, though he can't do much. He is described as "annoying".

The Earth Dragon is an extremely unique case in the world of *Little Tail Bronx* in the fact that he is the only humanoid creature to not be either a Caninu nor Felineko. He takes the appearance of a traditional Chinese dragon with his overall color palette, long whiskers, fiery mane and tasseled tail.

**Barry** (ビアッリ, *Biarri*) is a skilled photographer who lives in Airedale. At one point, members of the Black Cats Gang steal some of his best photos which prompts him to ask Red Savarin for help.

## Biography

Barry is an eccentric man whose hobby is solely about taking photos. While appearing a bit intimidating on the outside, he's actually quite nervous on the inside and also has trouble speaking to women.

Barry is a big pink Felineko channeling an Otaku appearance. He wears a white shirt with a green vest with a green hat. He has a giant Otaku-esque backpack. Despite already using one camera, it appears he may also have at least two more dangling from his arms.

His overall design appears to be a more elaborate take on ????, the main antagonist & predator of the Mamoru-kun series. Barry shares none of the character's more heinous personality traits.

## Trivia

* The *Solatorobo Fan Book* parodies the physical similarities between Barry and the stranger from *Mamoru-kun,* with Mamoru becoming visibly uneasy in Barry's presence.
Opéra Kranz

**Opéra Kranz** (オペラ・クランツ, *Opera Kurantsu*) is the head of Kurvaz's Special Operations Unit, and pilots the Tiamat-FL.

Always optimistic and rather domineering, Opéra is flashy & self-worshiping and speaks with an imperious drawl. She will do just about anything she wants, but she does know when things are going too far. Despite her optimistic front she seems to take great offense in being called a "hag", implying she may be older than most of the cast.

Opéra is a Russian Blue Felineko with peach-colored fur, purple ears, and long lavender hair. She wears a lavender outfit with three zippers, along with a black catsuit and purple socks. The arms and socks, along with the outfit have blue stripes with spikes protruding outward from them. Opéra also carries a lavender fan with the Kurvaz pawprint logo on it.

## Trivia

Alicia Pris

This article contains Tail Concerto spoilers, continue at your own risk.

**Alicia Pris** is the oldest of three Pris sisters and co-leader of the Black Cats Gang. She is a childhood friend of Waffle Ryebread and possible love interest. She has a hatred for all dog people and wants to collect five artifact jewels that will help her to build a homeland for all the cats. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't know the full story behind these crystals, and her emotions sometimes get in her way.

## Biography

Quick to anger and tomboyish, the fact that she and childhood friend Waffle are on opposite sides of the law (as well as different races) makes their relationship complex. Alicia hates Dog-People and believes that they stole Prairie from the Cat-People. But she still holds Waffle dear to her heart, despite the opposite sides; this is evident that she cherishes the pendant he gave to her when they were children.

Alicia's physical appearance is that of a typical Felineko. Her brown fur is rather simplistic with only a darker pointed tail, though her hair is one of her more prominent features with it being a stark mix of cream & black. Her clothing is almost all a fluorescent red which goes in tandem with her catty attitude. Her overall aesthetic leans towards a classic Arabian style. Both of Alicia's eyes are perfectly fine, as by the end of Tail Concerto it's revealed that her eye patch was simply for show.

## In Solatorobo

Alicia serves a minor role as an "antagonist" along with her sisters in Solatorobo's side missions. During Red Savarin's first encounter with the Black Cats Gang it's made evident that Alicia has been following Waffle all the way to the Shepard Republic, which is described as being a large distance away from Prairie Kingdom. While she keeps her purpose for this vague it's crystal clear that she just wants Waffle's attention.

During the mission *"A Kidnapped Sister"*, Alicia sets up a fake kidnapping with other poorly-acting sky pirates in an attempt to bait Waffle into rescuing her. Due to Flare and Stare posting a rescue mission to Flomage, however, Red ends up rescuing Alicia instead while her intended savior arrives late due to assisting an elderly woman. This mix up aggravates Alicia so much that she leaves in a huff, all the while both her sisters and Waffle berate her for worrying everyone.

When Red takes on the Prairie Kingdom Cup in the Duel Ship he witnesses Alicia & Princess Terria arguing over something before the third round. When Alicia catches sight of him, she exclaims that he has no shame and that he'll get back everything he's done to her gang "100 times over", leaving Red fairly confused as he doesn't seem to recall past encounters. When the battle is just about to begin, Cyan is shocked to see the sisters participating and rudely assumes they're up to no good. Alicia, offended, clears up that they're simply there to see sights (though Stare admits that they truly are around to cause trouble).

Hack is a short Welsh Corgi Caninu. He is dressed a little more loosely than his sister, only bearing a cape and baggy shorts. His helmet is missing the majority of its left side, which could have either been already that way when found or caused by Hack's rambunctious behavior. He also has a very visible scar on his right leg.

Terina

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

**Terina** is the sister of Béluga Damiens. She plays a key role in *Ragdoll Elegy* yet is only mentioned once in *Solatorobo*.

## Biography

Terina, despite being featured much more prominently in *Ragdoll Elegy*, is not a very well-described character besides being Béluga's older sibling. She appears to be calm & collected despite her fate being tied to the Rite of Forfeit, seeing it as saving the world from being destroyed.

She is presumably a Felineko due to her residence being in Ragdoll.

## History

### In *Ragdoll Elegy*

Terina's story begins here, where she's still alive and well in Ragdoll. It's made clear very early on, however, that her life had been tied to the Medallion as a sacrifice. She is given one year to live with her bother Béluga, who is the Paladin who will perform the Rite of Forfeit when the time comes. This sickly turn of events frustrates him greatly, though Terina insists that they must go through with the Rite in order to prevent Lares from awakening.

Unfortunately, as Baion begins to reawaken Lares early, the Medallion activates sooner than expected and weakens Terina only three days into being chosen as the sacrifice. The effects of the Medallion cause her to be in severe pain, to which Béluga attempts to comfort her from. As the color of the Medallion begins to change rapidly though, he has no choice but to perform the Rite of Forfeit. The door to the Sacred Realm opens before the two, and soon after that Béluga inherits the Medallion and sacrifices his sister. Ultimately stopping Lares.

### In *Solatorobo*

Terina is only mentioned once when Béluga confronts Elh Melizée over attempting to sacrifice Red Savarin, saying he heavily regrets sacrificing his sister along with many others throughout the past 300 years.
Tail Concerto 2

***Tail Concerto 2*** was the proposed direct sequel to *Tail Concerto*. It was never released and had never entered proper development, though some concept art had managed to be preserved over its decade-long conception.

## History

CyberConnect2 had proposed *Tail Concerto 2* to Bandai in hopes of taking advantage of the new capabilities of the Playstation 2. The game was swiftly rejected, with Bandai's executive producer Daisuke Uchiyama stating selling a sequel to a game that didn't even sell is ridiculous. The proposal was even thrown into the trash.

In 2003 CC2 would propose the title again to no success. They would propose this yet again in 2004 to no avail.

After the rejection, CC2 would go on to create *.hack* and *Naruto* videogames in order to show their worth as a videogame developer. When the company had gained enough expertise they would go on to create *Solatorobo: Red the Hunter*. This totaled in 10 years of conception and 3 years of development for a sequel. *Solatorobo* would be proposed again as *Tail Concerto 2* before Bandai requested for CC2 to quit using the title.

Béluga Damiens

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

**Béluga Damiens** (ベルーガ・ダミアン, *Berūga Damian*) is a mysterious Hunter who seems to be in league with the Kurvaz. Through most of the story he is constantly appearing before Red Savarin with his personal Mecha, the Salamander//009. His true identity and reason for aiding the Kurvaz is unknown, though he seems to have some connection to Elh.

## Biography

Béluga has a calm and cool personality and gets straight to the point. He will not hesitate to meet his goals. He usually is not good at conversation as pointed out in the story when he tries to talk to people for information.

Béluga is a light purple lynx with red eyes. He dresses in a very western-style of clothes, complete with a flowing scarf/cape. His bodysuit is mainly dark purple, and he carries twin pistols on his belt. He has a very noticeable "X"-like scar on his face which was caused by a vicious slash from Baion's mecha.

## Trivia

* In the early stages of development, Beluga was going to be named, "Lynx" and was going to have design motifs of a Eurasian Lynx.
Forest of Healing

This article contains Solatorobo spoilers, continue at your own risk.

***"Forest of Healing"*** is one of Solatorobo's side-stories. The story takes place during the events of the game, specifically when Red Savarin, Elh Melizée, and Béluga Damiens enter both Lares and Lemures. The focus is mainly on Bruno Dondurma and his condition after the battle within Lares.
Fromage Financier

**Fromage Financier**, or **Flo Financier**, is the quest broker of the "Quête" Hunter Guild in Solatorobo.

## Trivia

* During early stages of *Solatorobo*'s development, there was an idea to have multiple Fromages throughout Shepherd. This group would have consisted of Fromage, Kuromage, Shiromage, Noromage, etc..
* The reason for why Fromage is almost always holding her hand up to her ear is because she has a communication device in use. This is never made clear in her final design, though concept art makes the device much more prominent.
* Her full name "Fromage Financier" is French for "cheese cake".
* Despite Chihuahuas being presented as the smallest breed in the Caninu breed chart, Fromage stands at an average female human height.
