-knight-in-training in her youth, moved to the central hub of the clan upon seeing her potential as a fighter

-bonded with Silence Suzuka there before Suzuka had to depart to join rebel forces against the Demon King's attempts to invade the capital

-Spe also departed shortly after to do the same but had also done so in the hopes of finding Suzuka again and fulfilling her mothers' wishes

Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi

-child of the Emperor, Symboli Rudolf, and sibling of the former heir to the throne, Tokai Teio

-despite her lifelong illness and unlikely acquisition of the throne as a result, she makes continuous efforts of proving herself to her people through acts of diplomacy

-with the recent attacks of the Demon King on their territories, members of the kingdom had taken to hiring mercenaries to aid their existing armies in pushing back

-Tsuyu herself had taken the opportunity of hiring Spe, El, and Grass to the cause

-the party’s main way of communicating with higher authorities and helpful connections

El Condor Pasa

-born and raised in a different country, El was taught how to fight from an early age, admiring her father’s luchador persona from his days in his home town

-childhood friends with Grass, they spent much of their childhood sparring, as is common with young umamusume, and later went on various quests together

-by the time that forces of the Demon King’s started invading the territories of a neighboring country, the two were hired by Tsuru to team up with Spe

Grass Wonder

-raised in the same village as El, Grass was taught the ways of magic at a young age as well

-other than her usual lessons, she was also educated by a retired warrior from a neighboring country in their style of combat and culture (which she had taken a particular fascination with)

-due to her skills and proficiency in both magic and physical combat, she was a highly regarded warrior alongside El, able to cast powerful bursts of magic in an instant while being able to wield a spear in a pinch

Seiun Sky

-raised in a somewhat secluded village near the edge of the country’s territory, Sky had possessed innate talent in both magic and combat at a young age and was encouraged by her family to further hone her skills

-when the forces of the Demon King started invading her home town, she offered her magic and battle prowess in exchange for their mercy

-betrayed the Demon King shortly after Spe and the gang infiltrated their fortresses, already planned to enact a coup before the encounter (and dragged King with her)

-was cursed to never be able to wield her magic without severely damaging her body in the process after her betrayal

King Halo

-future heir to the Kingdom of Halo, her mother had forbidden her from participating in any sort of actual combat outside of training despite her talent

-when the forces of the Demon King descended upon their kingdom, it fell into a depression and was on the brink of collapse before King offered herself up to them like Sky did
