Golden Sun: Dark Dawn Playable Characters

• Matthew (ムート, Muuto?) is the biological son of Isaac and Jenna and the leader of the group of playable characters in Dark Dawn. Like his father, he is a Venus Adept, though the game's encyclopedia states he has his mother's "bright and determined spirit" and father's "few words and strong conviction". As with his father in the original Golden Sun, and Felix in the Lost Age, Matthew does not speak, although the player can say yes or no to certain questions and dictate how he feels about certain situations.

• Karis (カリス, Karisu?) is a Jupiter Adept and the daughter of Ivan. She shares her father's powers of observation (where she notices that the Alchemy Forge has been disconnected), but unlike him, she cannot read minds (she mentions in the Teppe Ruins that her father finds this power a "double-edged sword"), and is somewhat more energetic than her father. Nonetheless, Karis is a responsible young woman who often has to struggle to keep Tyrell from causing trouble for himself and others, as seen at Patcher's Place where she hits Tyrell to stop him from launching a fireball in front of Patcher. She also scolds him for losing his temper, saying that Psynergy should be seen as helpful rather than harmful, even acting insulted in order to communicate her point. This also implies that she can be very bossy and sometimes uncompromising since she does not allow Tyrell to refute her.

• Tyrell (テリー, Terii?) is a Mars Adept and Garet's son, as well as Matthew's best friend. He is hotheaded, reckless and has a reputation as a troublemaker: in fact, his act of defying Karis and taking Ivan's soarwing (a gliding device meant for Isaac and Garet) for a spin is what sets him and his friends on their adventure, as he is forced to crash the soarwing at an abandoned mine near Isaac's lookout cabin. Upon the crash, the soarwing breaks, and after Matthew and Karis save him from a Psynergy vortex, Garet decides to send him out to obtain the Roc Feather required to repair it. He thinks Karis nags too much and hates it when she takes charge, even if it is to his ultimate benefit. However, Tyrell is also honest and down-to-earth: which is why Matthew is "proud to call him his best friend", as brought up in the encyclopedia, and demonstrated by his rather blunt remark in front of Paithos (who surprisingly doesn't chastise him for this).

• Rief (クラウン, Kuraun?, Crown in Japanese language versions) is a Mercury Adept, student of Kraden and son of Mia. He also has a sister called Nowell, who is also a student of Kraden. Rief is a well-travelled youth, and according to Tyrell, a bookworm, so people often defer to him in intellectual matters, as well as finding their way around southern Angara, as he has been there in the past. He joins the group after their encounter with Blados and Arcanus in the Konpa Ruins, where he approaches a Psynergy Vortex. He falls unconscious, and is kidnapped by Blados when the party is distracted fighting three "stealthy scouts". He is shown to be a consummate gentleman throughout the adventure (he suggests that the group take Ryu Kou and Hou Ju home and doesn't like to see Sveta approach the switch for the Apollo Lens as she's been exposed to too much light). As with his mother, he exihibits a calm attitude except a rare moment of a deep rage when Arcanus is revealed by Kraden to be Alex, whose nefarious acts may have been told to Rief by his mother or Kraden.

• Amiti (ハルマーニ, Harumaani?, Harumani in Japanese language versions) is a male Mercury Adept and is a prince of the water kingdom Ayuthay. He joins the party after they obtain the Insight Glass, an item that grants a Psynergy to see what is required (be it Psynergy or items), as he is chosen by the artifact and is thus the only person who can use it. The people of Ayatayu at first believed his mother, Veriti, was a miraculous Water Adept, but this turns out to be a lie, as his uncle Paithos says that his father is a "powerful Adept" who had activated the kingdom's Alchemy Well, a machine that runs on water power. Something of note is that Tret notes an aura similar to Rief's when the party visit him. This may be foreshadowing that Alex is Amiti's father, as Alex and Mia were members of the same clan.

• Sveta (ステラ, Sutera?, Stella in Japanese language versions) is a female Jupiter Adept of a human beast race that has mutated since the Golden Sun Effect. Excelling in the five senses, she can read the minds of her company (though she'd rather she couldn't do it) and sense unique smells. Sveta is able to use visualized Psynergy; her Track Psynergy can make the aromas she smells visible. She is also the sister of the beastmen king Volechek, who was being manipulated by Alex, Blados and Chalis to fire the Alchemy Dynamo in the core of the Belinsk ruins. Sveta herself is a serene girl who clearly loves her brother (she can't look at the Chaos Hound without wanting to cry), and isn't one to bear grudges.

• Eoleo (レオレオ, Reoreo?, Leoleo in Japanese language versions) is a character that was briefly introduced in Golden Sun: The Lost Age when he was still a toddler. In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Eoleo has grown up and become the prince of the Champa, as well as a powerful Mars Adept. He is an honorable and free-spirited man who joins the group in order to avenge his father, Briggs, who died ensuring his and his new friends' escape from Belinsk after the Alchemy Dynamo is activated, which causes the Grave Eclipse. As a mariner, Eoleo steers Briggs's ship, which is obtained after he is recruited.

• Himi (ヒミ?) is a female Venus Adept who possesses the power of prophecy that she inherited from her mother. Her parents are Queen Kushinada and King Susa, and she is both a priestess and princess of Yamata City, and the sister of Prince Takeru (who Kushinada mentioned as the name she and Susa will would give their son in "The Lost Age"). When the party first meets her, she is unconscious and won't wake up despite her mother's best efforts. As the chosen bearer of the Third Eye, she is able to see the unseen. Himi is the final playable character who is recruited in Dark Dawn.
