User:Sjones23/List of Valkyria Chronicles characters

The Valkyria Chronicles media franchise features an extensive cast of characters designed by Raita Honjou. For Valkyria Chronicles, the developers aimed for a "rustic" look due to the game's use of the PlayStation 3's CANVAS engine.[1] During the early development process, Raita based his designs more directly on examples from World War II, however they proved to be too modern for what the developers wanted to achieve. Thus, Raita aimed for a motif closer to that found in World War I, first creating Alicia and Welkin's concept illustrations and using them as a basis for the rest of the Gallian cast.[2] World War II influence can still be seen in the designs of Imperial characters such as Gregor, whose uniform is heavily based on German officers' uniforms from that period.[3]

Protagonists

edit

The protagonists of Valkyria Chronicles are members of Squad 7, a part of the Gaillian militia branch. After the defeat of Maximillian at the end of the game, the squad disbands. It has been confirmed that Squad 7 will appear to fight alongside Squad 442 ("The Nameless") in Valkyria Chronicles III.[4]

Welkin Gunther

edit

Welkin Gunther (ウェルキン・ギュンター, Werukin Gyuntā) is the 22 year old leader of Squad 7 and the main protagonist of Valkyria Chronicles. A university student before the Imperial invasion, Welkin's intelligence and determination earned him the Tank commanding position over Gallia's Squad 7 after he joins the Militia and earns the rank of Lieutenant. His university major, Animal Sociology, gives him an extensive knowledge of Gallia's native flora and fauna and serves as a basis for his military strategies. He gets romantically engaged to Alicia Melchiott and ends the game with Alicia as they marry and have a child. In Valkyria Chronicles II, he is a hidden character who can be recruited.[5] He is voiced by Dave Wittenberg in English and by Susumu Chiba in Japanese.

Alicia Melchiott

edit

Alicia Melchiott (アリシア・メルキオット, Arishia Merukiotto) is a 19 year-old sergeant and the heroine of the game. Dreaming to become a successful baker, Alicia became a soldier after being involved in the Imperial invasion of Gallia. She is a non-commissioned officer with the rank of a Sergeant in Squad 7. Righteous and reliable, Alicia loves helping others and eventually grows fond of Welkin. She also takes care of Hans, a porcavian pig that becomes an honorary member of Squad 7. It is revealed later that she is a descendent of the Valkyria. In the anime version, Faldio's attraction to her conflicts with her feelings for Welkin.

In Valkyria Chronicles II, she is a hidden character who can be recruited.[5] Two versions of Alicia can be recruited: one whose appearance and personality are based on her role in the original game and one who is based on her role in the anime adaptation.[6] Due to licensing issues, the anime version of Alicia is currently inaccessible in the North American version of the game.[7] Alicia was voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey in English and by Marina Inoue in Japanese

Isara Gunther (イサラ・ギュンター, Isara Gyuntā)
Voiced by: Hōko Kuwashima (Japanese) Laura Bailey (English)
Isara is Welkin's 16 year-old adopted sister who cares greatly for her comrades. The two are not siblings by birth, as she was taken in by the Gunthers at a young age; however, Isara is fond of Welkin. Enlisting the militia as a corporal, she drives and maintains the unique tank, Edelweiss, that her biological father, Theimer, designed in the First Europan War but was too expensive to mass-produce. Continuing her father's legacy, Isara is a true prodigy when it comes to mechanics. The shawl she wears signifies that she is a member of the Darcsens, a race of people persecuted for their ancestors' role in the near destruction of the continent. Despite being the subject of racism, she is proud of her heritage and hopes to make a world where Darcsens are no longer persecuted and are treated as equals. However, she is killed in battle.

Twenty-seven years old, Brigitte was formerly a bar singer who used the stage name "Rosie", and now prefers to be called as such. As a part of the core members of Squad 7 with the rank of corporal, she acts as its main shocktrooper. Though she may seem overbearing at times, she is a capable front line commander whose tough talk motivates others during battle. Her prejudice against the Darcsens, whom she blames for her parent's deaths from an Imperial attack, puts her at odds with Isara and Zaka, but she eventually overcomes her prejudice.

Despite his exemplary service, he has refused promotion time after time, remaining on the front line. He values experience above everything else on the battlefield, but grows to appreciate Welkin after his strategies prove successful. Beyond his tough exterior, he holds a special appreciation for the power of vegetables from the time spent on his father's farm in his childhood.
In Valkyria Chronicles II, Largo is a hidden character who can be recruited.[10]
Zaka (ザカ, Zaka)
Voiced by: Kazuya Nakai (Japanese); Steve Blum (English)
Zaka, a thirty-three year old local leader of the Darcsens, was held in an Imperial work camp where he and his people were forced to work in the dangerous ragnite mines and factories under brutal conditions imposed by Berthold. He proves instrumental in helping Squad 7 in the Fouzen raid as an inside contact. Joining the group as a sergeant shortly after the battle, he commands the Shamrock, a customized version of Gallia's main battle tank. His easygoing demeanor hides the oppression he has experienced all his life. In the anime version, he tends to flirt with Rosie, initially to her dismay.

Edy is a 17 year old militia shocktrooper. Growing up in a tiny rural town, she has dreams of becoming a famous actress. Unfortunately, she lacks coping skills as she cannot forgive anyone who steals the spotlight from her. She has a one-sided rivalry with Rosie, whom she thinks is preventing her rise to fame. A running gag for her is that she is extremely tone-deaf, and that her singing ability is so poor that it can incapacitate others who hear it. She proved to be one of the most popular characters in the game, the development staff turning her and Homer into official spokesmen for the Valkyria Chronicles franchise on the "Front Line Journal" blog. She is also the central character of "Edy’s Mission: Enter the Edy Detachment," where she and five other members of Squad 7 defend a small village from a large group of Imperial invaders.
Edy's younger sister, Anisette, is a main character in Valkyria Chronicles II.

Edy comments that he is, "so pretty, so broken." He and Edy serve as mascots and spokesmen for Valkyria Chronicles on the series's official blog. In the Japanese version of the game and anime his surname is 'Pieroni'.

Rosina Selden
Voiced by: Masasa Moyo
Rosina is a 24 year old Lancer. A woman with red hair and brown skin, she is a bodybuilder who enjoys working out and gaining muscles.

He commands a customized tank named Lupus as leader of the Empire's elite armored unit. He fought and was imprisoned when his country was invaded by the Empire during the First Europan War, but was released by Maximilian to be part of the Drei Stern. Thus, he does not fight for the Empire out of loyalty, but rather to help his own country gain independence through Maximilian's victory.
Johann Oswald Eisen
