Phantom Brave - Characters

Characters

• Marona Voiced by: Sandy Fox

The main heroine of the game, Marona is a young 14 year old girl whom has the ability to see and communicate with phantoms, a set of abilities collectively known in-game as "Chartreuse". This power enables her to make a living as a Chroma; a kind of adventurer-for-hire, despite being at such a young age. She lost her parents when she was five, but Ash, a friend of her parents and a former Chroma-turned-phantom himself, came back to protect Marona after the demise of her parents and himself.

• Ash Voiced by: Lex Lang

The main hero of the game and the player's avatar, Ash is the phantom of a young man who protects Marona. When he was alive he worked alongside Marona's parents as a Chroma, and after having died along with them he found himself stuck between life and death thanks to the efforts of Marona's father. He has since sworn to watch over and protect Marona, feeling that he owes Marona's parents for being the only one to "survive" their unfortunate demise. Although he is usually careful and well intentioned; if overprotective of Marona, he is sometimes known to frighten the unwary when he accidentally speaks aloud while concealed in his phantom form.

• Bijou

A werewolf who impersonates Raphael of the White Wolf Army early in the game's story in order to steal from people who have heard of Raphael's renowned fighting prowess. He later returns in the Sand region under the influence of Sulphur, which fuels his impersonation into a belief that he really is Raphael. After he is defeated for the final time he is shown to be a member of the Raven clan, the Fighting Beasts, under captain Drab. Bijou, along with many other characters that show up in the original game's story, is a playable unit in the Wii and PSP exclusive side story "Another Marona".

• Walnut

A Chroma Oxide, a person that makes a living by waiting for a Chroma to near the completion of their assigned job but then takes proof of the work's completion in order to steal the reward. Willing to do anything and step on anyone to achieve his goals, Walnut at first appears to be nothing more than a selfish bad boy who steals for his own gain, but throughout the game it is revealed that he is the older brother of Marona's newfound friend Castille, and that the money he's been "collecting" has been getting put aside to pay for an operation for her. It is revealed that Walnut's power; referred to as "Psycho Burgundy", is, in fact, the same power utilized by the legendary hero Scarlet the Brave; who defeated Sulfer thirty years ago, and is fueled by burning the wielder's soul to create a powerful energy. Walnut joins Marona and company as a playable character in "Another Marona", a side story that is exclusive to the Wii and PSP versions of the game.

• Castile

Castile is a young wheelchair-bound girl whom becomes friends with Marona as the game progresses. Early on in the story she is kidnapped by minions of Sulphur but is rescued by Marona and Ash. She and Marona become best friends as the events of the story unfold. According to an after-game bonus map in the PS2 game; Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome, Castile eventually recovers from the sickness that keeps her in bed and becomes healthy enough to fight alongside Marona, while searching for signs that her brother Walnut may still be alive.

• Sienna

Sienna is a beautiful and elegant businesswoman who happens to own Phantom Isle, the home of Marona. She is very generous and polite to a fault, but her calm demeanor seems to hold a few secrets. Even her assistant; Murasaki, seems utterly clueless as to Sienna's true motivations, or what it is about Phantom Isle that makes it so important to her. Besides Phantom Isle, Sienna owns an immense Bottle Mail factory. It is later revealed that she was the legendary hero Scarlet the Brave before she was severely wounded in her battle with Sulfer, and that she gave up being a famed warrior to live a calm life of relative obscurity.

• Sprout

An incredibly fierce and powerful 85 year old man whose family was slain by Sulphur's hand 30 years before the game's main storyline. Despite once being the famed wielder of a holy sword he has sworn to kill Sulphur and avenge his family, turning to the use of dark powers in order to achieve his revenge. He is the former mentor of Raphael, and one of the warriors known as the 9 Swords of Ivoire. His signature technique is the power "Dark Eboreus. He joins the player's party in "Another Marona" as one of many characters who were unplayable in the original PlayStation 2 version of the game.

• Raphael

Leader of the White Wolf Army; a group of Ravens (a large team of professional demon slayers), Raphael is one of the warriors known as the 9 Swords of Ivoire. He is first seen in the quest to find the rainbow bird, an unusual battle in that it does not result in a "Game Over" if lost. His signature technique is called Heliotrope Blade. Raphael; along with a number of other characters, fights by Marona's side in the Wii and PSP exclusive side story, "Another Marona".

• Count Malt

A dignified old Scrabbit with a mustache that sends Marona on a search for Scarlet the Brave.

• Sulphur

The story's main antagonist and a powerful demon that periodically threatens the world of Ivoire. He doesn't appear until the final battle of the game, but his lingering presence plays a huge role throughout the storyline. The very thought of his return causies chaos and widespread panic across the all of Ivoire. His power possesses a number of characters throughout the game. After the main game is completed, Sulphur somehow returns to Ivoire in a bonus battle on the Island of Evil. Although Marona and Ash are successful in defeating him once more, it was a mystery as to how he could have returned. The answer to the question wasn't revealed until another optional battle in the PS2 game, Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, which revealed both how Sulfur came back to Ivoire and Walnut's fate after Phantom Brave's final battle.
