Occupation: Low Rank Grand Bell Knight 大鐘堂で騎士になる. クロアの夢は、幼少の頃から明確だった. 武術に長けていたこともあり、わずか14歳という異例の若さでその 夢を叶えている. しかし、希望に目を輝かせていたクロアに下る 騎士の任務は、I.P.D.に感染したレーヴァテイルの保護 ばかり. I.P.D.の暴走は極めて危険であり、重要な 任務なのもちろん理解している. しかし、発 症したレーヴァテイルを武力で拘束する ことも、娘を奪われる家族に泣き叫 ばれることも、クロアの心を深 く傷つけた. このやるせ ない日々に、クロア は夢を失っていく. そんなクロアにとって唯一の生き甲斐が、妹のような存在である ココナだ. 入隊当時、パスタリアの下層階級住居地域で起きた I.P.D.暴走事件の鎮圧に乗り出したクロアは、悲惨な状況でただ 1人生き延びたココナを保護した. 食事をとらせ、傷を手当するう ちに、2人の間には家族のような絆が芽生えていく. 身寄りを失っ たココナは、そのままクロアの宿舎で生活を始めた. クロアは生来、 堅物で生真面目な性格だったが、フィアンセがいながら女の子と 住み始めるあたり、やや空気の読めない天然の気もあるようだ.

"I will become a Grand Bell Knight". That was Croix's definite dream since his childhood. He also had excellent abilities in martial arts, so, when he had just reached the age of 14, he managed to accomplish that dream, unusual for someone as young as him. However, the jobs that the Grand Bell Knights, to who Croix looked at with sparkling eyes, were ordered to perform, were mostly the containment of the IPD-infected Reyvateils. Of course he understood that it was an indispensable job, given how extremely dangerous the IPD outbreaks are. However, the capturing by force of the outbroken Reyvateils, and being screamed at by the crying families because he robbed them of their daughters deeply wounded Croix's heart. It was in these miserable days in which Croix lost his dreams. And despite this, there a single reason for which Croix lives, for the person that has become like an small sister to him: Cocona. Shortly after he had enlisted, Croix was sent to suppress an IPD outbreak that had happened in the lower-class residential districts of Pastalia, and there he saw, that in the middle of that tragic scene, only Cocona survived, and there he decided to take care of her. He gave her some food, treated her wounds, and this was the seed that sprouted into the family-like bonds that tie both of them. Since Cocona had lost all of her relatives, she began living together with Croix. And while Croix was naturally stubborn and extremely serious, while this meant he had to live with an small girl while he didn't have a fianceé he also had a little atmosphere of unpredictable spontaneity around him thanks to her.

ヒロインたちの苦難や試練を影から支える、というスタンスに徹しています. 縁の下の力持ち役ですね. そのせいで「主人公っぷくない」と言われて しまいますが、こういう主人公がいてもいいかな、と.

We decided to give him the stance of [character that supports the heroines through their trials and tribulations from the shadows]. He seems to be the kind of person that is never thanked for his efforts, no? Because of that, while he could be called a character that [doesn't seem like a viable protagonist]; I actually think it would be good to have a protagonist like him.

=Cocona Bartel=

Cocona （CV:志村　由美） Cocona (VA: Shimura Yumi)

ココナ・バーテル[Cocona_Vatel] Cocona Bartel

Occupation: Satellite Girl         Hobby: Helping Croix Motto: I won't forgive Cro's enemies. クロアが16歳、ココナが9歳の頃、パスタリアの下層階級住 居地域で大規模なI.P.D.暴走が発生した. 数多の死者を出し たその事件の、唯一の生存者がココナである. ココナが生まれ育った地域は、俗にスラムと呼ばれる、貧し い家庭が身を寄せ合うように生きている治安の悪い場所だっ た. 寝食にも苦労するような土地では、暴力沙汰は日常茶飯事 となる. そんな荒っぽい場所で育ったココナは、自然と身を護 る術を身に着けていった. 大惨事となったI.P.D.暴走事件の際、 少女だけが命拾いをしたのは、決して運のよさだけではない. 生 来の運動神経のよさと、幼いながらに"戦闘力"を備えていたた めだといえる. やがてクロアのもとに身を寄せ、騎士と身近に生活するよう になったもの、彼女にとって幸運だった. 独学だった彼女の戦 闘術は、一流の騎士の指導によって磨かれ、やがては騎士隊 長レグリスに認められるまでに高められている. ココナは未成年 者で唯一、騎士隊に同行して任務にあたる補佐役（サテライト ガール）を務めているが、これはパスタリアでは異例中の 異例. それだけの実力を 見せてきたということだ.

When Croix was 16, and Cocona was 9, a large-scale IPD outbreak occurred in the lower-class residential districts of Pastalia. In there, many people lost their lives, and the sole survivor to this was Cocona. The place where Cocona was born and raised is commonly known as the Slums, and since that is the place where all the poor families go to live, it completely lacks public order. As if it wasn't enough problem to find a place to eat and sleep in this land, the violent acts are things that commonly happen in there too. At the time of the IPD outbreak, only she managed to narrowly escape from death, but it wasn't because of sheer luck at all. It was because she naturally had fast reflexes, so we could say that despite being so young, she also had very good "combat capabilities". After a short time, she came to live with Croix, so she was very fortunate to be able to live so closely with one of the Knights. She began studying combat and training by herself, and she continue improving herself until a day in which the best knight among all, the leader of the Grand Bell Knights: Captain Leglius, recognized her abilities. Cocona then was accepted to work alongside the knights, being the first and only child admitted to this, and while she was only entrusted with the task of accompanying the knights as an assistant (Satellite Girl), this was something that had never happened in Pastalia. So it can be said that her true abilities actually go to such an extent.

Director's Voice
凪良さんのなかでなかなかイメージがまとまらず、最終的にこのデザイン で落ち着くまで苦労されてましたね. 髪飾りが武器になるっていう設定は、 攻撃方法をキャラクターごとに決めているときに生まれました.

Nagi-san had many images for her within his head and couldn't decide which one to pick, so after a good number of troubles, we finally settled with the current one. The setting of her character as one that has her weapons hidden in her hair ornaments was created since we decided how each one of the characters was going to perform his or her attacks.

=Leglius Branchesca=

Legris （CV:てらそま　まさき） Leglius (VA: Terasoma Masaki)

レグリス・ブランシェスカ　[Legris_Branchesca] Leglius Branchesca

大鐘堂騎士隊の長. 堅実な性格で時には厳格だが、面倒実のよさと高い 実力を備えていることもあり、部下たちの人望を集めている.

The leader of the Grand Bell Knights. While he sometimes is very strict, he has a very reliable personality, and given that he always is well-prepared to deal with any kind of hardships, he has become very popular among his subordinates.

Gender: Male                     Likes: Strong ones, distinctive people Age: 38                          Dislikes: Sweet things Height: 1,91 M                   Dream: A warm family Weight: 93 KG                    Hobby: Bringing up his subordinates Birthplace: Lower-class Pastalia Motto: Be strict! residential area Occupation: Grand Bell Knight Captain

騎士隊の業務は多岐にわたるが、なかでも多いの がI.P.D.の保護となっている. レグリスはそのI.P.D.の 処遇に関してだけは、異様に厳しい騎士として知ら れる. これはI.P.D.を放置することで、どれだけの 被害が出ているか、また身内の発症をかばった 家族が、どれだけ命を落としてきたかを知って いるためだ. そして、彼自身もまた、身内に つらい事故が起こっている. レグリスは既 婚者であり、かつて華紗（カシャ）という 妻と、亜里紗（アリシャ）という娘がいた. そして、その両方をI.P.D.暴走によって失っ ている. その事件を処理した部隊はレグリス の直下部隊. ーー彼は、自身の妻と娘を自ら の手で殺めた、ということになる. 大鐘堂が意図的にI.P.D.発症増加を促 進していることを、もちろんレグリスは知って いる. 家族を手にかけた事実は彼の心を 痛めるが、自分の任務は必要悪だと言い 聞かせながら、メタファリカの実現へ向け て働いているのだ.

While his labors as the Knight Captain cover many areas, the main ones among them consist mainly in the containment of the IPDs, and it's only in the issues related to the IPD containment in which Leglius is known as an abnormally severe knight. This because if the IPDs are left alone, he knows that they can cause much more damage, and with their families trying to protect them, how many more lives could be lost. Also, because a very painful experience happened to him himself because of this. Leglius is married man, and he used to have a wife called Kasha, and a daughter called Arisha, and he lost both of them to a IPD outbreak. When that happened, Leglius was still a low-rank knight, and this with the time, ended becoming for him as he had killed his own wife and daughter with his own hands. Of course that Leglius is also aware of the fact that the Grand Bell is raising the number of IPD outbreaks, and while the fact is that because of them he lost his family has produced many wounds in his heart, he continues working for the realization of Metafalica, while telling himself that his duties are a necessary evil.

前作にはいなかったタイプの、寡黙で硬派なキャラクターをやってみた かったんです. また、本作で重要なテーマである「家族」を表現するにあ たって、父親役をイメージさせる位置づけを意識して描いています.

I wanted to try making a kind of character that we didn't have in the previous game: a taciturn, yet tough person. Also, given that we were intending to represent the [family] as the most important theme in the game, I was aware we would have to sketch him to give off the image of a serious father.

=Amarie Gelade=

Amarie （CV:後藤　沙緒里） Amarie (VA: Gotou Saori)

アマリエ・ジェラード　[Amarie_Jerhad] Amarie Gelade

野外生活を主とするレンジャー. ライアー演奏を得意としており、ときどき 町に立ち寄っては、ライアーを爪弾いてささやかな収入を得ている.

A ranger that spends most of her life out in the fields. She is an excellent lyre player, and sometimes she stops at the cities to earn some modest income by strumming its strings for the people.

Gender: Female                       Likes: Playing the lyre, Soope Age: 20                              Dislikes: Indecisive people.

Birthplace: Kanakana Pier Occupation: Wandering Ranger

リムの最果ての地、カナカナ突堤で生まれ育った娘で、テ ル族と人間の混血. アマリエは知らないが、彼女の家系は 400年前に封印された血族で、「澪の御子」を擁して今の世 界を終わらせるための準備を進めるべき役割を担っていた. アマリエが11歳の頃、カナカナ突堤で大規模なI.P.D. 暴走が発生し、大きな被害を出した. アマリエの両親は、 このときに暴走したI.P.D.発症者によって殺害されている. 身寄りのなくなった彼女は、近所の兄さんだったチェス ターの家に引き取られ、チェスターとともに育てられた. ア マリエはチェスターにほのかな想いを寄せていたが、学業 に秀でていたチェスターは、アマリエが13歳のときにパス タリアへ発ってしまう. チェスターが去ったあとのカナカナ突堤では、今度はア マリエが「村のお兄さん役」として子供たちの面倒を見てい た. しかし村は貧しかったため、彼女はライアー演奏で生 計を立てるべく、少しずつ村を離れるようになる. そうして19 歳の頃に再会したのが、神聖政府軍を指揮していたかつて の「お兄ちゃん」、チェスターだった. アマリエは助力を申し 出て、一度は断られたが、実力を買われて非公認戦力とし て活躍するようになっている.

As a girl that was born and raised in Kanakana Pier, the lands at the very end of the Rim, she is the mixed blood daughter of a human and a Teru. While Amarie doesn't know, her lineage comes from the people that were sealed 400 years ago, which were entrusted with the task of doing the preparations for bringing an end to the current world, obeying the will of the [Maiden of Mio]. When Amarie was 11, an extremely large IPD outbreak happened in Kanakana Pier, causing tremendous damage to it. Both of Amarie's parents were killed at that time by the outbroken IPDs. Having lost all of her relatives, she was taken in by Chester's family, who was like an older brother to her, and she was raised alongside him. While Amarie developed some light feelings for Chester, because he excelled on studies, Chester departed for Pastalie when Amarie was 13. After Chester left Kanakana Pier, Amarie was the one that served as the [older sibling figure] for the children of the village. However, since that village was so poor, she had to make a living out from her lyre playing skills, and slowly detached herself from the village. Thus, when she became 19 years old, she finally was able to reunite with his [older brother], Chester, who now was the commander of the Sacred Army. Amarie offered him her help, and while at that time he refused it, there came to be a time in which, thanks to her power, she was accepted as unofficial battle personal.

Director's Voice
2004年くらいに作った、ちょっと古いキャラクターです. 深い愛情を表 現したくて、本懐を遂げるためなら手段を問わないような、そういうプラト ニックで一途な想いを体現する女性として設定しています.

Given that I made her around 2004, she is a fairly old character. I wished to represent a deep love through her, without regards about which methods she would use to do so, so she practically was set as a woman that embodies the earnest feelings of platonic love.

=Shun=

Shun　（CV:速水　奨） (VA: Hayami Shou)

瞬 [Shun] Shun

神の使い. 神聖政府軍の協力者として地上に立ったが、クロアたちと数度 の激戦を経て仲間となった. フレリアと共に悠久の時を生きる.

The Envoy of the Goddess. While he is now in the surface of this land as a collaborator of the Sacred Army, after he fought several fierce battles against Croix and his friends, he joined their group. He lives eternally alongside Frelia.

Gender: Male (Blue Wolf)              Likes: Frelia Age: 746                              Dislikes: Being treated like a dog Height: Unknown                       Dream: Return to being human Weight: Unknown                       Hobby: Protecting Frelia Birthplace: Digital Life Form         Motto: Don't treat me like a dog. Occupation: Guardian

第一紀、フレリアにとって最初で最後の親友であった存在. 人であった頃の名をエンジャという. かつてグラスノインフェリアによってメタ・ファルスが壊滅の危 機に瀕したとき、神（＝フレリア）に側仕えていた神官であるエン ジャは、フレリアを救うべくソル・マルタに踏み込んだ. しかし神 の守護者であるラキに返り討ちにあい、瀕死の重傷を負ってい る. このとき、エンジャはラキと取り引きをした. 命を救 うとの引き換えに、物理的な体を失うこと. そして、フレ リアの守護者として、永遠にフレリアを護るデジタル生 命体として生きること. エンジャは迷うことなく取り引き に応えじ、"神の使い・瞬"として生きる ようになった. 近年、急激にフレリアの力が衰えて いることを悟った瞬は、神との戦争を目論むアルフマン政権を危 険視していた. そして大鐘堂の力を弱めるべく、神聖政府軍への 助力を決意している. これは彼の意思が神聖政府軍の理想と合 致したからではない. 瞬は700年前も今も、ただフレリアを護るこ とだけを考えて行動している. もし今、戦争が起きてしまえば、弱り きったフレリアの身に取り返しのつかないことが起きてしまう....... ただそれだけが、瞬の行動原理となっているのだ.

During the First Era, he was one of Frelia's first and more closest friends. He used to be called Enja when he still was human. A long time ago, when Metafalss was almost destroyed by the Grathnode Inferia, Enja, who had gotten a rank similar to that of a shrine priest that served the Goddess (Frelia), broke into Sol Marta to save her. However, he was soundly defeated by Raki, and collapse from the wounds he had sustained, which were so grave that they would have been the cause of his death. It was here where Enja and Raki made a deal. In exchange for saving his life, he would lose his physical body. And then, he would become Frelia's protector, and would continue protecting her eternally, living as a digital lifeform. Enja accepted without any hesitation, and thus, he came to live as "the Envoy of the Goddess: Shun". In recent years, Shun noticed that Frelia's power had radically decreased, and regarded as a tremendous danger the fact that Alfman's government intended to start a War Against the Goddess. And knowing he had to weaken the power of the Grand Bell, he decided to collaborate with the Sacred Army. However, this doesn't mean he was in agreement with the ideals the Sacred Army had. No matter if it was 700 years ago or now, Shun's actions were only directed by his thoughts of wanting to protect Frelia. If now a war started, Frelia's weakened body would receive so much damage that she wouldn't be able to recover from it... So that ended becoming the only reason behind Shun's behavior.

Director's Voice
設定上の立ち位置がいろいろ変わったキャラクターです ね. 狼の姿をしているのは、神のガーディアンとして考え たときに、俊敏さと戦闘効率を検討した結果、ラキがもっ とも効率のいい姿として設定したためです.

As you can see in the setting illustrations above, he was a character that underwent through various changes. His wolf shape is the result of us thinking that, as the guardian of the Goddess, he should be quick-witted and efficient in combat, and thus, we established him in this form, that makes him even more efficient in battle than Raki.

生前は、大鐘堂騎士隊でも名の通った剣士だった. レ グリスから見れば大先輩にあたる. ただし、短気でケンカっ 早い性格が災いし、昇進しないタイプではった. そんなバッツが名を知られるようになったのは、御子アー シェに重用されていたためだ. バッツには生来、「任務に対 して常に誠実である」という美点が備わっていた. これがア ーシェの深い信頼につながり、バッツは御子に側仕えると いう大役を担っている. その縁から、のちに大鐘堂でクーデ ターが勃発した際、アーシェからクローシェ（後の瑠珈）を託 された. バッツが「父」であった時間は短かかったが、彼が 築いた家庭は、幸福で温かなものだったことだろう.

While he was alive, we used to be a very renowned swordsman, even within the Grand Bell Knights. Leglius always looked at him as a great superior. However, his hotheaded temper always caused to get into fights, and because of his disastrous personality, he wasn't the type to receive promotions easily. Because she became aware of his reputation from it, Maiden Arshe herself tasked him with a very important task. Batz had always the merit of [being so honest that he would even turn against his duty for his own beliefs], which was the reason why Arshe had such a deep trust in him, and ended entrusting him with the role of her personal attendant. That also was the reason why, when the Grand Bell was overthrown by the Coup d'Etat, Arshe tasked him with the protection of Cloche (who would later on be known as Luca). While Batz's time as a father was very short, the family that he built used to be a very warm, and happy one.

Director's Voice
家族の絆を描くうえで、欠かせなかったのが父親像です. 聆 紗が落ち着いているので、父親は熱血にしました. クローシ ェがときどき短気なのは、父の血なんでしょうね. 初めは金 髪でしたが、さすがに設定がバレバレなので黒にしています.

Given that we are sketching the bonds of a family, he is the symbolization of a father that never fails at his role. Once Reisha and he finally settled down, he became a very hot-blooded father. Maybe Cloche's short temper and nervousness comes from her father's blood, no? He initially had golden hair, but since that would have been a setting that carried way too many spoilers, we decided to change his hair to black.

Luca's mother. When she lost Luca's little sister, Reika, because of an IPD infection, her husband Batz also died at that time. Her relationship with Luca has gotten so cold that it's awkward for them to even have a conversation.

御子アーシェに仕えていた、数多くの付き人の1人. ア ーシェのお気に入りの騎士、バッツのフィアンセだったこと もあり、御子に目をかけられていた. クーデターの日、アーシ ェが子をバッツと聆紗に託されている. 「この歌は決して忘れては ならない歌だから、ずっとこの子に聴かせ続けて ほしい」と. この言葉は聆紗によって忠実に守ら れ、「聆紗の子守唄」として、物語の随所で聴くことができる. また、聆紗は付き人時代に、軽度の病でラウドネスに治療 を受けたことがある. その際レーヴァテイル質活性剤を打 たれたことが、のちに澪の御子を身ごもることにつながった.

She was one of the many attendants that served Maiden Arshe. While she also was the fiancee of Arshe's favorite knight, Batz, she still kept loyal to her duties as an attendant. At the day of the coup d'etat, Arshe entrusted both to Reisha and Batz her daughter, and told these words to Reisha: "This is a song that must never be forgotten, and so, I want you to make sure that my child can continue hearing it forever". Reisha continued honoring these words faithfully, and you can hear that song during the story at several points in the story, under the name of [Reisha's Lullaby]. Also, during the time Reisha served as an attendant, there was a point in which she fell sick, and was tended by Loude. At that time, she also was administered an agent that served as an activator for Reyvateil qualities, and it's implied that it was because of it that she could give birth to the future Maiden of Mio.

瑠珈の家庭環境を描くのに不可欠なので、ヒロインを除けば、 最初に完成しました. 最初のデザインは顔にシワがあったん ですが、老けすぎな気がしたので取っています. 胸が大きい のは、瑠珈でなくクローシェの実母という証ですね（笑）.

As an essential part of sketching Luca's family background, it was decided from the start that we should show what happens if the Heroine disappeared from her life. In her initial designs her face looked somewhat wrinkly, and gave off the impression that she was very old. I think that her big breasts are the definitive proof that she is Cloche's true mother, but not Luca's (laughs).

パスタリアに店を構える、大鐘堂御用達武器商「鶴屋総本店」の店長. クロ アとは数年来の知り合いで、武器の知識と鍛錬の腕は超一流.

The shop manager of the weapon shop set up in Pastalia, the [Crane Shop], which serves as the official weapon supplier for the Grand Bell. As Croix has learned from knowing her for various years, her knowledge about weapons and her skills at forging are second to no one.

Motto: Put your love tightly into it! Occupation: Weapon Shop Manager

武器に精通し、卓越した技術も備えるが、武器屋という 仕事はあまり好きではない. 彼女の本当の夢は花屋である. しかし、騎士隊に入隊したばかりクロアが常連に加わっ てからは、その夢はひとまず脇に置くようになった. その青 年騎士に、ひそかな恋心を抱くようになったためだ. その言動から直情的な性格だと思われがちだが、本質的 にはそれも照れ隠し. クロアの装備に執着するのは、万が 一不良品を渡しでもしたら、クロアの命にかかわるためだ. 強力な武器の開発に情熱を注ぐのも、それだけクロアが安 全に戦えるからに他ならない. 日頃の冗談めいた告白の陰 には、そんな彼女の純粋な想いが見え隠れする.

While she is very well-acquaintanced with weapons, and has excellent skills when it comes to them, that doesn't mean she likes her job as a weapon shop manager. Her true dream is becoming a florist, but since Croix became a regular customer of hers during his rookie days, she decided to put that dream aside for now. Because it was as if a newly-born love for that young knight had enshrouded her heart. While you can think from her impulsive personality, her speech pattern and her behavior that she is like this, she actually is hiding her own embarrassment. She is especially fixed about Croix's equipment, because if she, by any chance, gave him a defective piece of equipment, that could become a matter of life or death to him. She is very enthusiast about developing weapons with a legendary level of strength, but that is only because she wants Croix to be safe during the battles. Because she is almost always declaring her love in a joke-like tone, her true feelings are always appearing and disappearing.

Director's Voice
暴走気味の愛情表現で、楽しく掛け合いができる店員、とい った感じです. ヒロインとは別の立場から、クロアが自分の キャラクターを崩さないで掛け合いができるキャラクターは どんな娘だろう......って考えて生まれました.

Because of her reckless-like expressions of love, she is a fun clerk to make deals with, at least that was the feeling which we wanted her to give off. Actually, this was the thought from which she was developed: "Given that she is in a different situation from the heroines, she can't pull down Croix, yet she can make negotiations with him, so, what kind of girl should we make her...?"

Measurements: 90-60-88 Birthplace: Rakshek      Motto: Be highly secretive. Occupation: Waitress

瑠珈と同様に不器用で、数々のバイトに挑戦するもクビ になってばかり. そんな彼女にとって、自分よりも不器用でボ ンベルタンするもクビになったのに、天職を見つけて大評判 となった瑠珈の存在は、友人というより嫉妬の対象ですらあ った. しかし、努力して不器用を克服し、看板娘になった空 猫は、やがて瑠珈も努力して超一流のセラピになったことに 気づく. そんな経緯から、空猫は瑠珈に親近感を抱くように なった. 「誰からも嫌われたくない」という瑠珈の本質にいち 早く気づいた彼女は、瑠珈に熱烈なアピールを開始する. この作戦は自分からは言い寄らず、人の好意を断れない瑠 珈には効果絶大で、2人はやがて本当の親友となった.

Very much like Luca, thanks to her clumsiness, she was took many part-time jobs just to end up unemployed. Because of that, when she saw how Luca was fired from Bon Beltan because of her clumsiness, and later on became extremely famous upon having a new job, she considered her more like a target of envy instead of a friend. However, through great effort, she managed to overcome her clumsiness, and became the poster girl for the restaurant, Skycat, just to shortly after learn that Luca also had become a first-class Therapist thanks to her great efforts. Because of these events, Skycat got a great affinity for Luca, seeing how both of them became the best in their respective areas after so much suffering. She quickly noticed how Luca's true behavior had at its core the feeling of [not wanting to be hated by anyone], and that gave her a fiery appeal for Luca. This strategy didn't make her get close to Luca quickly, but it had a tremendous effect thanks to Luca being unable to reject when anyone did anything good for her, and this made them quickly into true friends.

私の意見が一番通らなかったキャラクターです(笑). 企画の 富松くんのカラーが全開ですね. 見た目はかわいいけど、ち ょっと毒っ気があって、猫っかぶりが上手. そんな設定です. 瑠珈とは似た者同士の境遇という共通点があります.

In my opinion, she is the most unimportant character (*laughs*). The colors that Fukumatsu-kun gave her are what initiated her true development, huh? She has a cute appearance, but she is also a little poisonous, and it's excellent at being secretive. That is the setting under which we created her.Both she and Luca have as their common point that they were made into what they are now because of the circumstances under which they lived.

蛇刳とともにソル・シエールからやってきた、自称「闇世 界の女王」. 裏の顔は、出所不明の怪情報を売買する情 報屋でもある. メタ・ファルスの伝承に興味はなかったが、蛇 刳はスピカの大のお気に入りだったため、一緒に旅をす ることになった. 2人はメタ・ファルスに到着してすぐに個 別行動に入ったが、内心寂しさを覚えていたのはお互い様 のようだ. 蛇刳はちょくちょくスピカの店に足を運び、スピ カも蛇刳の来店を心持ちにしている節がある. スピカが 握っていた蛇刳の"最大の弱点"は、むしろ2人の距離を 縮めるのに一役買ったといえる.

She came from Sol Ciel together with Jakuri, and is the self-titled [Queen of the World of Darkness]. Her hidden side acts as an information broker, selling and buying information from who knows where. While she didn't have any interest in the legends of Metafalss, she traveled with Jakuri because she greatly took a liking to her. While they both took their own paths upon arriving to Metafalss, in their hearts, they truly felt lonely after getting separated. Jakuri's steps would occasionally take her to Spica's shop, and Spica's characteristic way of speaking would always change the mood whenever Jakuri came to the shop. The fact that Spica knows about Jakuri's "greatest weak point" shows how close she has become to her.

Since she already appeared in the previous game, Spica is a character whose significance to the story was already completed. So now, we decided to delve more into her personality, and with these thoughts in mind, we created the Shop Events. Given that this is huge part of the game (*laughs*), I hope you pay a lot of attention to the sketching of true feelings and basis of her activities we made for you all.

辺境の地のあばら屋で、雑貨店『にゃにゃ屋』を営む. まだ10歳にも関わ らず、祖母が入院してからは1人で店を切り盛りする苦労人だ.

She runs the general store [Nyanya Store] within a house in very poor conditions, located in a borderland of the Rim. Although she is only 10 years old, she doesn't mind, and she is very wise for her age, given that because her grandmother was hospitalized, she has to fend by herself.

Birthplace: General Store      Motto: Always serve with a smile. Occupation: General Store

両親を早くに失ったため、体の弱い祖母と2人で暮らして いる. 老朽化が進む店の外観から想像できるように、生活 は貧しい. もちろん客足も少ないので、商売はうまくいって いないようだ. しかし、沙亜紗は雑貨屋も祖母も大好きだ ったため、文句ひとつ言わずに働いている. 仕事漬けの彼 女には人との触れ合いの機会がなく、学校に行けないの で友人もいない. しっかり者で頑張り屋の彼女だが、さす がにこの日々の寂しさはこたえるようだ. また、何でも扱うよ ろづ屋ゆえか、趣味で謎の蔵書を大量に読破している. こ れが彼女の知識量を常人離れしたレベルまで引き上げて おり、ときおり才能の片鱗を見せることがある.

Since she lost her parents when she was very young, she lives now with her grandmother, who has a very weak constitution. As you can guess from the greatly worn out exterior of the store, they live in poverty. Of course that while they have a few customers, they aren't enough to keep the business afloat. However, because Sasha loves both her grandmother and the shop so much, he continues working without even a single complaint. Because she is so absorbed into her work, she doesn't have any chance to interact with other people, and since she has never gone to school, she doesn't have any friends either. While she is an extremely hard worker, the loneliness in which she has to live has always been taking its toll. Also, no matter how busy she is with the store, she at least has enough time to finish up reading the mysterious books that make up her hobbies. It's thanks to this that her knowledge has risen to a level well beyond the one the normal people has, and sometimes she displays an outstanding talent.

Director's Voice
クローシェが一番葛藤するのはどういうキャラクターだろう、 という考えから生まれました. クローシェと正反対の境遇、 というだけでなく、人と心を交わした経験のないクローシェ が感化されるような性格を意識しています.

She was born as the result of our thoughts on how should we create a character that served as a kind of complex inter-relationship with Cloche. While she grew up in a completely opposite environment to Cloche, she also serves as the inspiration for Cloche to correct her personality, since she never had any the experience of having anyone to which she could talk comfortably.

熱狂的なメタファリカ信者である. そうであ ったがゆえに、彼の目には先代の大鐘堂の無策 ぶりが甘く見えてたまらなかった. 不満を募らせて いたある日、アルフマンはカナカナ突堤で「神との 契約」の概要（精神体移行）を見てしまう. その真 意に驚いた彼は、教皇家の皇太子（タルガーナ の父）を殺害し、クーデターという形で実権を手 にした. このままでは、間違いなく人々は、神と 大鐘堂の餌食になってしまう. 今自分が、自分 に出来ることで民衆を救いたいーー. 彼の行 動は、"民衆のため"という目的で一貫していた.

An overly enthusiastic believer of Metafalica. Because of that, his eyes were unable to bear with how useless was the previous Grand Bell. And the day his dissatisfaction reached the peak, Alfman had seen in Kanakana Pier a resumed version of what the [Pact with the Goddess] actually meant (Spiritual Transmigration). After he got over the astonishment this caused to him, he went and assassinated the current prince of the Papal Family (Targana's father), and through the coup d'etat, he gained the absolute power over Metafalss. In this way, it was unmistakable that the people would end up becoming preys for both the Grand Bell and the Goddess. Now, he is doing everything he is able to do because he wants to save the people. He consistently says that his actions are "all for the sake of the people".

His starting point was saying "let's create a politician". From that point, we wanted to make him give off a feel of him being an evil bastard-kind of character, yet one you couldn't bring yourself to hate, so we established him with a very mature appearance.

He is a noble by birth, but since he had to be taken out from the palace by his nanny before he had use of reason because of the coup d'etat, he had to live most of his life in a similar way to a normal person. However, he was severely taught about many subjects, including Imperial Studies, and he already had the natural majesty and education to become the leader of a large organization. However, he quite respected the traditions, yet he also hated them. While Targana knew about the Hibernation Project that the Papal Family had been developing during many years, that didn't mean he himself wanted to actually implement it, but actually, he only tried to do so because he was the successor of 400 years of tradition. This doesn't mean either that he knew about all the details the project involved, so he just tried to aim to its realization, with some blind devotion to it.

カナカナ突堤でI.P.D.暴走事件で恋人のソニアを行 方不明となったことをきっかけに、頻発するI.P.D.事件を解 決すべく勉学に没頭. 大鐘堂の研究所に合格し、I.P.D. 研究の第一人者となった. しかし最高機密に近い位置で 研究するうちに、洛螺の存在と、その正体ソニアである ことを知って愕然とする. やがてI.P.D.発症の元凶がそも そも大鐘堂だったことを知ったチェスターは、大鐘堂に反旗 を翻した. 洛螺と内通しているとはいえ、孤独な戦いであっ たが、その後タルガーナと知り合ったことで光明を見出す. 世界に散る教皇派をまとめあげた彼は、I.P.D.発症を推進 する大鐘堂を打倒すべく、神聖政府軍を設立した.

After he lost his lover Sonia during the IPD outbreak at Kanakana Pier, he immersed himself into study, because he decided he had to know why the frequency of the IPD outbreaks had increased so much. He successfully passed the tests to become a Grand Bell researcher, and soon, he became the leader in the IPD research. However, when he managed to gain access to the most secret area of the facilities to continue his research, he learned the horrible truth: he learned about Lakra, and who was her true form, Sonia. Soon after, Chester learned that after all, the culprit behind the IPD outbreaks was the Grand Bell, and after this, he turned against them. Although he might have the support of Lakra, it was still a one-man fight against a government, until he regained his hope when he met with Targana. With this, the Papal Line, which was thought to have disappeared from the world, was reinstated, and vowing to overthrow the government that implemented the increase of IPD outbreaks, they founded the Sacred Army.

なぜか、最初から「ダサカッコいい」っていう設定がありまして （笑）. 結局デザインは近未来風に落ち着きましたが、その頃 の名残がコスモスフィアに残っています. 鼻血フェイスが用 意されてたり、なぜかネタ色が濃い人ですねえ.

Somehow, he was designed as the [coolame] character from the start. At the end, we settled for a near-future kind of design for him, but at that time, we decided to leave the "coolame" name for the Cosmospheres. The fact that a nosebleed face was prepared for him somehow made him the target of a great number of jokes, huh?

本名はソニア・レー・ラクーア. 彼女の家系は、 400年前にインフェル ピラが完成した際、それ とセット生み出されたIPDとテル族の混血. テル族の流派は『ニノ』. 精神がインフェル・ピラの内部に 組み込まれており、IPDの居場所を検知できるため、シス テムの一部として永遠の命を生きている. この特性は、ニ ノの特殊能力『声聴き』を持つためだ. 声聴きは、感覚を 研ぎ澄ますことによって、その方向に特化した目に見えない 情報を拾える特技をいう. システムに組み込まれた彼女は、 インフェル ピラから発信される特定の導体D波を絞り込 み、IPD暴走反応が起きた場所を察知している.

Her true name is Sonia Ray Lacua. Her genealogy can be traced up to 400 years ago, about the time when Infel Phira was completed, and she is also a half-breed, being the daughter of a Teru and a IPD. She belongs to the [Nino] Teru school. Her mind is inside of Infel Phira, and since she was connected to it to be able to trace down the whereabouts of the IPDs, the systems allows her to live potentially for the eternity. This special characteristic is thanks to one special ability that the Nino Terus possess, called [Voice Listening]. This skill consists in the sharpening of all the senses, allowing their users to obtain information from even invisible sources, provided they are facing in the direction of the source. And since she is connected to Infel Phira, she also is able to sense special kinds of Dynamic D-Waves that are emitted from it, which allows her to know the exact place were a IPD outbreak occurs.

A life form that was created by the Hymn Crystal of METHOD_METAFALICA/. to protect itself. The Infelsphere is the place where the two Maidens are to be judged if they are worthy of singing Metafalica, which gives it the connotation of a place filled with trials. Soope's existence is to ascertain if the singers of Metafalica have met the requirements for doing so, and to raise their bonds until they are capable of singing it. At the start of the game, while Amarie was carrying Soope around, that was actually because Soope chose to follow her, given she was a descendant of the people that were related to the Maiden of Mio. While Amarie herself was never aware of this, Soope was always looking for the appropriate person for that role. And so, during their journey, besides meeting with the Maiden of Homura, Luca, he also met with the Maiden of Mio, Cloche.

There aren't any Mind Guardians within the IPDs. Infel is actually the first Reyvateil that was created 400 years ago to sing for creating the new continent Metafalica. Infel simply "trespassed" into Cloche's Cosmosphere just before Croix had his first dive into her. This was because Infel, who was hidden within Infel Phira, noticed that Nenesha was within Luca when she started the Proxy Dive into Cloche. Infel still wishes to meet again with Nenesha, and because of that, she has spent 400 years in complete solitude.

Her setting was a young appearance that was imbalanced by her intellectual personality, and while her love for the jokes was something we simply thought it would be good to add to her setting, it also was something that brought a lot of problems to us later on: we weren't able of thinking up any jokes, and these lines miraculously came to us just before the project reached its deadline.

ゲンゴローとは、聆紗が瑠珈のために夜なべして創っ たペペンのぬいぐるみの名前である. そして、瑠珈の本来 の心の護だった. しかし瑠珈の深層心理が、400年前の 焔の御子ネネシャに心の護の座を受け渡してしまったの だ. 乗っ取りのような性質ではなく、瑠珈が「Dセロファン」 をインストールされていたことが原因となっている. これは 代々の焔の御子が受け継いでいる、いわば焔の御子の証 ともいえるものだ. 瑠珈は9歳の頃、アーシェからDセロフ ァンを託された聆紗によって、極秘のうちにこれをインスト ールされている. ちなみに、ネネシャが乗っているダイヤの 指輪のようなものは「大地の心臓」の象徴.

Gengoro is the name of a Pepen stuffed doll that Reisha spent an entire night making for Luca, which ended becoming her true Mind Guardian. However, she gave her position to the Maiden of Homura of 400 years ago: Nenesha, who now was located in Luca's deep psyche. It isn't as if Luca's mind was hijacked, but it's because the [D-Cellophane] was installed into her. This was an artifact that was passed down among the generations of the Maidens of Homura, and now it can be called as the proof of the Maiden of Homura. When Luca was nine years old, Reisha installed the D-Cellophane that Arshe entrusted her with into Luca, in maximum secrecy. By the way, the object resembling a diamond ring that Nenesha is always seen riding is actually a symbol of her [Heart of the Land].

Nenesha and Gengoro were originally different characters. However, as development went on, they ended becoming the same person, yet her changed name still continue leaving off the feel of a cute girl that blushes easily, so it feels as if the setting itself had gotten much deeper since that point.

Strictly speaking, the digital life form Ayatane that was created by Mir, and the Ayatane that serves as her Mind Guardian aren't the same.

The Reyvateil who created the Second Tower of Ar tonelico. She was originally sent to Sol Marta for her job of creating the land, which was a project that would take six years to complete. However, in the current times, her power has been weakening, which has made it hard for Frelia to continue maintaining the land. This was because the six-year project was interrupted because of the Grathnode Inferia, and thus, her access to the outside world was completely cut off. Thanks to her strength is that Metafalss has continued existing during the last 700 years.

フレリアとともに700年以上の歳月をソル・マルタで過ごし てきた管理者であるが、ラキに課せられた使命は、ソル・マル タの護衛ではない. 彼女を開発した、エル・エレミアの指示 に従ってソル・マルタを操作しているに過ぎないのだ. 彼女 はあくまでメンテナンスロイドであり、感情を有さない. 判断 は、自らの使命に対して有益か否によって下されている. 約400年前、人類がメタファリカに失敗したときにインフェ ルがラキに提案した内容が、現代に残る「神との契約」のベ ースとなった. この契約にラキが同意したのは、インフェ ル・ピラを魂の容器としてしまえば、インフェル・ピラが神を 滅ぼす兵器としての側面を失うためだった.

While she is the supervisor that spent 700 years alongside Frelia in Sol Marta, the mission which was imposed upon Raki wasn't the protection of Sol Marta. During her development, the technicians of El Elemia programmed her to not do anything beyond operating Sol Marta according to their orders. After all, she was just a maintenance droid, and wasn't supposed to have emotions, thus, she wouldn't be able to go against her orders, no matter if it was beneficial or not for her. Around 400 years ago, when the humans failed at the execution of Metafalica, Infel made a proposal to Raki, which later on became the base for the [Pact with the Goddess] that remained until the current days. The reason why Raki agreed with this pact was because if Infel Phira was made into a vessel for the souls, it would lose its capabilities as a weapon capable of destroying the Goddess.

About the Maintenance Droids
メンテナンスロイドとは

第一紀の時代、エル・エレミアは高度な 技術によって塔のメンテナンスを担当する 人型ロボットを開発していた. 現在確認さ れているバージョンは、1.0、1.5、2.0の 3種類である. それぞれのバージョンごと に、右の図のようにデザインもモデルチェ ンジされている. バージョンアップの都度、戦闘能力も向 上しているが、これは戦闘形態の性能アッ プによるもので、パワー自体は1.0から一 切変更されていない. 現在確認されてい る5体のうち、メイメイは一切の戦闘に関 わらないが、これは力が無いわけではなく、 彼女が戦闘形態を持っていないためだ.

During the First Era, El Elemia, with its advanced technologies, developed humanoid robots whose task would be performing the maintenance of the Towers. The currently recognized models are 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. Each one of these versions were designed and model-changed in the same way you can see in the diagram at the right. Whenever an upgrade was made, while they raised their combat capabilities, they also upgraded the efficiency of the battle modes, which is why all the models, with exception of Ver. 1.0 were remodeled to increase their power. While among the five recognized models Meimei is the only one that isn't fit for combat, this doesn't mean she doesn't have any kind of power. It's just that she doesn't have a battle mode.
