ai: 23. major cunt but that's not her goal so she can be very thoughtful other times. she's just very bitter abt some stuff and tunnel-visioned on finding her brother and it seeps into a lot of her interactions w ppl. shes not very well liked cause of this LOL. she gets annoyed easily but it fades as fast as it comes. she learns how to appreciate the ppl in her life in the story and how to let go of ghosts

wari: 17. young and excited and very puppy-dog like at first. despite this she's the tallest of the gang. really looks up to ai cause ai saved her from being kicked by a horse once and adalia is like whoaa cool soldier and follows her like, well, a puppy. wari joins the army herself and one thing leads to another and she kills someone and has a whole nihilistic phase over it. she gets better but she doesnt return to her puppy dog state once she does. she basically Matures. throughout the story

gia: 23. major chip in her shoulder about proving herself and outpacing her peers. as such she can be honestly kinda mean 😭 very ambitious and prides herself on knowing What's Going On and knowing people. it's a shame she doesnt really know ppl or even much of what's going on. she learns she doesnt know and then learns how and what and also humbles a bit. loves magic always shows off. big "high self confidence low self esteem" conflict

william: 46. ai and wari’s battalion commander. he's similar to wari, kinda goofy and kind hearted, but he's much quieter about it. to be honest not the best leader but he watches over his troops and he's been in the army all his adulthood so he's been put in his position. has a kinda renown for getting soldiers to warm up to well authority due to his lax nature which is why ai was shoved onto his troop (and wari volunteered later cause she wanted to be with ai)

qiu: 18. ai's brother. very blunt and kinda apathetic but greatly enamored with the natural world around him. loves working with his hands. bit of a pyromaniac, has fire magic. very against war, think kinda similar to how princess mononoke (character) was ferociously against industrialization
