Scrapped Princess - Characters

Characters

Pacifica Casull (パシフィカ・カスール, Pashifika Kasūru?)

Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa (Japanese), Kari Wahlgren (English)
The Scrapped Princess. Originally thrown over a cliff when she was just a baby, she survived and was adopted by the Casull family as their youngest child. With her blonde hair and blue eyes, she is the spitting image of her mother, and her sweet nature does not seem to suggest any ill things about her. She is young and innocent despite all that is going on around her. Pacifica questions how so much suffering can occur due to her existence and blames herself for it. She is prophesied to destroy the world at 16 years of age. She looks exactly like Celia Mauser (except for a darker hair colour and difference in height) the seer who was a vital component in the fight against the aliens during the Genesis Wars. She is a happy girl who has a bright outlook on life which leads to many of the people who wish for her death to question the prophecy. 5000 years ago, as humans were losing the war with the aliens and were going to be sealed, Browning and the other remaining humans came up with a plan to break free of the sealed world by specifically calculating and scattering DNA to prepare the Providence Breaker-Pacifica - who would be able to resist the mind control of the Peacemakers and destroy the very foundations of the system sealing in the humans to free mankind.

Shannon Casull

Voiced by: Shin-ichiro Miki (Japanese), Crispin Freeman (English)
The middle child of the Casull family after Pacifica was adopted. He is a skilled swordsman who has sworn to defend Pacifica's life no matter what. He is reserved and calm despite the many difficult things transpiring in the Casull sibling's lives. As the story goes on it becomes clear that, when provoked, Shannon loses control of himself not listening to anyone. Later in the series, he merges with Zefiris to become a D-Knight. When he learns the truth about Zefiris and his sister, he loses his trust in the Zefiris. He becomes rude whenever the two talk. During this time, whenever he merges with Zefiris, it becomes nearly impossible for him defeat the Peacemakers. He looks almost exactly like Zefiris' old master, Becknum Mauser, due to the genetic engineering used to create him, Pacifica and Raquel, as explained by Zefiris. He is extremely devoted to his little sister, though they do bicker a lot. He protects her without a second thought.

Raquel Casull (ラクウェル・カスール, Rakuweru Kasūru?)

Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Bridget Hoffman (English)
The oldest of the Casull children. She is a powerful magic-user and able to cast spells faster than many others. Raquel would rather use her powers to help more than to kill. She has assumed a motherly role in the family and always maintains a calm, kind attitude. Throughout the entire series Raquel keeps herself level headed, thinking before acting. Toward the end of the series, Raquel starts to become doubtful while separated from Pacifica and Shannon. When she does find Pacifica (with amnesia) she admits that she doesn't know what to do, still not knowing where her brother is. Her most vulnerable state was during the last episode of the series as she held the stabbed Pacifica in her arms. She has a clear love for Mr. Supii, the mascot of the series. Like Shannon, she has a striking resemblance to Celia and Becknum Mauser's sister.

Leopold Scorpos

Voiced by: Takashi Kondo (Japanese), Yuri Lowenthal (English)
The first son of Duke Scorpos and heir to his father's territory. He has high aspirations of becoming a great and noble knight, rescuing damsels in distress and bringing righteous justice to the world at large. Unfortunately, Leo has a long way to go in order to obtain his goals. While on his journey, he discovers the Casull party being "harassed" by a group of bandits, and with sword at the ready, charges gallantly down the hill on his noble steed, Parabellum, in order to come to their aid. Sadly, his attempt as heroics doesn't go as planned, but upon setting eyes on Pacifica, falls head over heels and frequently proposes marriage to her. While still struggling to ascertain the meaning of chivalry and what it means to be a good knight, Leo decides that he will protect Pacifica at all costs. After learning the truth about Pacifica, Leo is haunted by the question, "What is chivalry?" This question soon begins to haunt other characters as they begin to question their way of living. Though Leo questions whether to protect Pacifica in the beginning, he ultimately decides to defend her.

Christopher Armalite/Bailaha

Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese), Steve Staley (English)
Leader of the elite army unit Obstinate Arrow. He attempts to kill the Scrapped Princess and kidnaps Winia Chester to lay a trap for the guardians. He is beaten in a duel by Shannon and asked to stay away in exchange for sparing his life. Later, in order for him to gain access to the castle's resources, he is officially adopted by Baroness Bailaha as her son. Through the time he spent in the castle, Chris begins to research the prophecy of the Scrapped Princess. Through his studys, he begins to wonder if killing the Scrapped Princess is really the right thing to do. Later on in the series, he joins Pacifica to fight on her side. Zefiris asks him why he defends her, even though he doesn't carry the guardian gene. He simply answers, because he chooses to.

Winia Chester

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)
Winia Chester is an introverted and lonesome inn-maid, taken in and raised by her uncle out of pity for her after her parents died. She spends time with and becomes friends with Pacifica, and it is one of the few times she has smiled and laughed since her parents were killed. When Christopher kidnaps her and takes her to the Glass Canyon, Pacifica's identity as the Scrapped Princess is revealed to her. Although initially confused and unable to accept the fact that her friend is the "poison that will destroy the world", Winia eventually comes around, and continues to have a close friendship with Pacifica. She also, in time, shows interest in her kidnapper, and although he cold shoulders her on more than one occasion (which turns out to have been an attempt to keep her from becoming involved in the dangers going on around them all) he eventually becomes responsive to her.

Zephiris

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English)
A powerful spiritual being who, like the Peacemakers, is actually an AI (artificial intelligence) weapon created during the Genesis Wars, Zephiris is the last remaining Dragoon in the world of Providence that is fully functioning. At the start of the series, Zephiris apparently materializes in mid-air, instructing Pacifica to tell Gloria (another Dragoon who had been chasing Pacifica around in the form of a giant frog), to sleep. Gloria later turns back into her human form before vanishing. Initially, Zephiris merely give the Cassulls vital information about assassins sent to kill Pacifica, but later, it seems as if she has a hidden agenda. After defeating the Peacemaker Galil by merging with Shannon, she calls him her 'master'. It turns out that Zephiris is a Dragoon who fought with her old master Becknum Mauser 5000 years ago during the Genesis Wars. Calm, solemn, and quiet, Zephiris is often in a dilemma about whether to follow the plan that humans devised 5000 years ago as a last resort to free themselves from the sealed world. The plan was meant to be completed at all costs, even if many people who are, after all "foolish beings", will be killed for the greater good. Her questioning of the plan contrasts with the views of her counterpart Natalie, who even tries to brainwash Shannon with her powers.

Fulle/Furet

Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), Liam O'Brien (English)
Fulle, 18, appeared after the spell (Ginnungagap) that creates a destructive tidal wave. Pacifica, who was on a boat, washes up on an island with no memory of who she is forgetting her name, family, friends, and events of the past. While she is staring at the ocean, Fulle is assessing the damage done to the city. Pacifica follows him home in hopes that she might run into someone who knows who she is. For the next couple of days Pacifica, now named Pamela by Fulle for the time being, lives with Fulle enjoying what would an everyday normal life. We also find out that Fulle used to be in the army. As the time goes by both Fulle and 'Pamela' find out that her real name is Pacifica and that she is the Scrapped Princess. Fulle takes it upon himself to help protect her and helps her, Winia, and Leo escape the city. Unfortunately Fulle does not survive as he stays behind to keep the soldiers from getting any closer to her. He is shot numerous times with arrows and dies in the streets of the city. It is Shannon who finds Fulle's lifeless body, not knowing who he is. Shannon says, "He must've been trying to go somewhere very important...there's obviously no point in him going there now. He can't go, even if he wants to. Unless somebody tells him that, he'll never be able to rest in peace," while shutting Fulle's eyes. At the end of the series you see a small wooden block strapped on Pacifica's hip. Back when she was still living with him, Fulle gave her this to hold on to after they left the bath house. She kept it with her and now says she feels protected when she wears it.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.
    Margot Asquith (1864–1945)

    Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
