Gwendolyn
The protagonist of the book, Valkyrie. Gwendolyn is the daughter of the Demon Lord Odin, sorcerer king, and a princess of the Kingdom of Ragnanival in the frozen north. She is a courageous Valkyrie whose name is known and feared on the battlefield, yet her older sister Griselda is even more skilled in the ways of war. Growing up in her sister's shadow has led Gwendolyn to be quiet and reserved, but she will stand up against anyone when necessary. She wields a Spear.
Cornelius
The protagonist of the book, Pooka Prince. The prince of the kingdom of Titania. One day, Cornelius awoke to discover that he was in a land he had never seen before, and he had been transformed into a beast. His love for Velvet, a foreign princess, drove him to make his way home, yet he feared in his heart that she would stop loving him if she knew what he had become. Cornelius is a serious young man with a strong sense of justice, but his youth leads him to hold naive, idealistic views. He wields a Sword.
Mercedes
Fairy Land. The princess of the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford, and next in line to be Queen. She is a bit timid, but won't hesitate to act recklessly to prove her abilities to her mother. Following her mother's death, Mercedes is forced to become Queen at an early age. She strives to become a mature and strong leader to live up to the memory of her mother. She wields a Bow.
Oswald
A cold-blooded human warrior serving the Fairy Kingdom of Ringford, Oswald is renowned and feared as the Shadow Knight, the man who slew a great dragon. He was abandoned as a child, but was taken in by Melvin, nephew to the Fairy Queen Elfaria. He is a stoic man who lives to serve his adopted father and cares little for the consequences of the actions he is ordered to perform. As a result of his training and skill, he places little value in his own life. He wields a Sword.
Velvet
The surviving princess of the kingdom of Valentine, which was mysteriously destroyed in a magical explosion. To hide her identity she fled to the forest of Elrit , and became known as the Forest Witch. She pieces together the prophecies foretelling the end of the world. Though usually serene and composed, she is now desperately trying to figure out a course of action that will somehow halt the Armageddon. She detests her father, Odin, because his actions caused the death of her mother. She wields a Chain.
