Vahn is the central character of the game as the game starts with you playing as Vahn. When the Mist attacks his village of Rim Elm, he is determined to put an end to the deadly Mist at any cost. During his journey with the help of the Ra-Seru Meta, he'll encounter many people, some of which want to put an end to his crusade.
When it comes to fighting, Vahn is a well-balanced character. His fire attacks can prove to be quite powerful, plus he has above-average speed and defense. When it comes down to crunch time, his attacks can come in handy. Swords and knuckles are his weapons of choice.
Taken away by her parents at an early age and raised by a wolf with special powers, Noa is on a quest to find out the real reason her parents abandoned her. Determined to find them, she joins Vahn on his quest to rid the world of the Mist.
What Noa lacks in attack power and defense, she makes up for it in speed and agility. Because of her high speed ratings, she is usually the first person to attack and is better at chain combos than the others. Later on in the game, she'll learn a couple of Arts moves which will prove to be essential in winning. In short, Noa is a good asset to any party. As for weapons, she is adept in using claws and ferals.
A student at Biron Monastery, Gala excels in the martial arts and is always looking for ways to improve on his abilities. When the Mist overcomes the monastery and changes his best friend, Gala joins the party in hopes of destroying the Mist and regaining his friend.
To balance out the party, Gala brings the power and strength of a fighter to the group. While he is pretty weak when he first joins your party, he'll grow to become the most powerful character in the group in the course of the adventure.
