Main characters
editBell Cranel
edit
- Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[1] (Japanese); Bryson Baugus[2] (English)
- Bell Cranel[3] (ベル・クラネル, Beru Kuraneru, Anime: Bell Cranel) is a novice solo adventurer and member of the Hestia Familia.[ch. 1] The light novel chapter sections often alternate between his narrative and a third-person perspective.[LN 2] He has white hair and red eyes and his weapon is a pair of daggers. Bell is the sole owner of the rare skill called Liaris Freese (憧憬一途, Riarisu Furēze) which accelerates his growth and development based on the strength and stability of his feelings, but also drawing the interest of those who are curious about the secret behind it, as he quickly grew from level 1 to level 2,[ch. 1][LN 1] and later to level 3, then level 4 in the span of only a few months.[LN 6] When he obtained level 2, he gained another skill...Argonaut. This skill allows him to greatly empower his attacks on critical situations, born from his desire to become a hero.[LN 4] He aspires to become as strong as Ais because he doesn't feel he is worthy to confess his feelings to her until he does so. This leads him to instinctively run away whenever he encounters her,[ch. 2] until they become friends. His dream is to have a chance encounter with a girl and become a hero just like in the stories he listened from his grandfather, who is later revealed to be the god Zeus himself.[LN 1].
- After the events with Wiene, he becomes shunned and considered a traitor in the eyes of Orario for protecting the Xenos from extinction. As he works to help them he faces his deadliest opponent, the girl he admires most. He is the primary wielder of the Hestia Knife (value 200,000,000 valis [4]). This weapon is a living weapon made by Hephaestus as a favor to Hestia to help Bell grow and will grow more powerful as he does. In the hands of anyone not of the Familia the knife is useless, but Mikoto was able to locate it using her skill since she is part of the familia and able to use it escaping the Ishtar compound.[4] Currently he reached level 5 during the middle of the War Game against the Freya Familia.
- His nickname is Little Rookie (未完の少年, Ritoru Rūkī), though some also call him the vorpal rabbit (in reference to an exceptionally lethal creature in the lower 30's of the Dungeon that while small and fast, can take out even the toughest adventurers). As of his level 4 ascension, his alias was changed now known as Rabbit Foot (白兎の脚, Rabitto Futto).
Hestia
edit- Voiced by: Inori Minase[1] (Japanese); Luci Christian[2] (English)
- Hestia (ヘスティア, Hesutia) is Bell's resident deity, in charge of taking care of Bell's development as an adventurer. She is jealous of Bell's involvement with other girls' affairs, including Ais's, but is still in love with him, devoted to protecting him, and helping with his growth, even after learning that he only views her as family.[LN 5] She and Bell live in a room under an abandoned church, and she works part-time for the Guild as a clerk, and also at some food stands to help Bell with day-to-day living expenses,[LN 1] until moving to the former palace of the Apollon Familia upon defeating them in the War Game and claiming their assets. Wary about what could happen should the existence of Bell's special trait be revealed to the world, she keeps it a secret from everyone else, including Bell, until sharing it with the other members of her Familia upon being asked about it.[LN 7]
Ais Wallenstein
edit- Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[5] (Japanese); Shelley Calene-Black[2] (English)
- Ais Wallenstein (アイズ・ヴァレンシュタイン, Aizu Varenshutain) is a beautiful and powerful swordswoman of the Loki Familia.[ch. 1] Aliased the Sword Princess (剣姫, Kenki), she is a level 5 adventurer who has killed over a thousand monsters and has turned down just as many suitors.[ch. 2] As a child, she lost her parents to the Black Dragon and resolves to get stronger, joining the familia and started adventuring at the age of 7. She finally achieved Lvl 6 after defeating floor 37's boss Monster Rex alone making her the 4th Lvl 6 adventurer in Loki's Familia alongside Finn, Riveria and Gareth. She has blond hair and golden eyes. Bell first meets her in the Dungeon when she saves him from a Minotaur that escaped from her group and fled to the upper levels.[ch. 1] Although she generally shows a quiet, emotionless personality,[ch. 2] she knows of Bell and has defended him from her peers, who joke about his ineptitude during the Minotaur incident.[vol. 1] After properly having a conversation with Bell, Ais appears to have developed an interest for him, helping with his training, but curious about how quickly he develops. She can use wind magic to allow her to do 3 dimensional fighting. Ais is the main character of the sidestory series Sword Oratoria which focuses on her adventures with the Loki Famillia, including a little bit of her history, while also showing events from the main series through her own point of view.[LN 1]
Ryū Lion
edit- Voiced by: Saori Hayami[6] (Japanese); Genevieve Simmons[2] (English)
- Ryū Lion (リュー・リオン, Ryū Rion) is an elf waitress at the Hostess of Fertility and Syr's friend, who supports her with her crush on Bell, occasionally helping him and the Hestia Familia for her sake. Nicknamed the Gale Wind (疾風, Shippū), she was a level 4 adventurer from the Astraea Familia, until her Familia was ambushed in the Dungeon by a rival Familia and all of the members, except for Ryū, were killed. Ryū avenged her late comrades by destroying the rival Famila using any means she could, including traps and assassinations, though as a result of her actions she was blacklisted by the guild and excommunicated from Astraea, unabling her to level up (though she ended Evilus' dark reign on Orario at the time). Despite this, Syr and Mia took her in. As the Gale Wind, she seemed to be compared multiple times with Ais due to their similarities in sword fighting and usage of wind magic, and is still feared in Orario to the point she once had a bounty of 80 million valis placed by the guild. She starts developing feelings for Bell after their survival journey together on the 37th floor while facing the monstrous Juggernaut, the true cause behind her comrades' death. Later, prior to the Freya Famillia's war game, she became the first person in Orario history to achieve double rank up from Level 4 to 6 after her visit to Astraea to update her falna, presumably due to her gathered experience during the last five years. Ryū is the main character of her own sidestory series Familia Chronicle Episode Ryū and Astrea Record which provides more details about her past and other adventures with the Astrea Famillia and the Hostess of Fertility.

She gets jealous of the time Ais spends with Bell, though her opinion on Bell has changed through their interactions. With this, she becomes Bell's self proclaimed rival. She later eventually reaches Level 4. She has a small role in the main series but acts as Ais' closest friend and main character in Sword Oratoria.
