  The 15 year old king of a burned kingdom.  He's
        serious and quiet, but also good hearted.  He's very good with
        Escaflowne, and with a sword too.  And lets not forget the fact
        that he can fly with those awesome wings!  <br>

        She's a kitten girl- only 13 years old.  A very outgoing kitty who
        loves Van to death.  She's very possessive of him.  Oh, she's
        a sly sneaky little kitten too.  Better watch out for this one! <br>

        <p align="center"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#000000">>><i>Allen Schezar</i><<�<br>
   Ah yes.  The pretty boy Allen.  He's very
        dedicated to chivalry, and is a knight to boot.  A very kind
        hearted person.  He does have a bit of a temper though.  A bit
        of a playboy too.  Very skilled with the sword. <br>

 She is the youngest daughter of King Aston of Asturia.  She
        has been studying to be a doctor but was stopped when she was betrothed
        to Dryden Fasaa, a very succesful and wealthy merchant.  However,

        <p align="center"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#000000">>><i>Eries Aston</i><<<br>
 The aloof but concerned sister of Millerna. She remembers all too well Allen's past and cannot stand by and watch as Millerna falls for Allen's charm. Normally, the line of royal succession goes first to the oldest male and female child, but the burden of the throne rests on younger Millerna, not Eries. <br>

        Dragonslayers.  He holds grudges, and has an extreme temper. 
        He's... severe.  ^^ Oh, did I mention that he doesn't like to be
        alone? Very good at fighting though.<br>

 Van's older brother.  He's
        highly intelligent, and does what he thinks is best. He's actually kind
        hearted, although he's sided with the bad guys before.  Soft
        spoken.  Also missing an arm.. he's got a robotic one. Oh, let's
        not forget those cool black wings of his!�<br>

        The Emperor of Zaibach, the most powerful nation on Gaea. He is an extremely old man, over 200 years old who is so old that he needs to be strapped to a giant machine, the Fate Redirector Machine. From here he hopes to change the fate of Gaea with the power of Atlantis.<br>

        is mad, he and Gatty always speak their minds, not caring if Dilandau
        will hit them, as long as Dilandau-sama is okay! The shortest
        dragonslayer, and the abused dragonslayer...^^; <br>

                Amano gained popularity among his peers at Kamakura-Kita High

                track team at the high school, and her crush on him manifests
                itself in front of Hitomi's best friend Yukari as well as Amano

        Zongi hypnotizes him into saying that Allen is a traitor who hopes to
        overthrow Asturia. Zongi lets him out, but Miguel foolishly tries to
        battle Escaflowne. His Guymelef is destroyed and Zongi proceeds to

      <p align="center"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#000000">>><i>Gatti</i><<�<br>
 He
      is perhaps the DragonSlayers second in command. Gatti seems to push his
      luck with Dilandau just a little bit more than the other 'Slayers,
      occasionally speaking out of turn, or giving Dilandau the odd glare.�<br>

      <p align="center"><font face="Tahoma" size="2" color="#000000">>><i>Yukari</i><<�<br>
      Playfully flippant at times but always understanding, Yukari is Hitomi's
      trusted friend as the two enter their first year of high school. Hitomi
      confided her affection for Amano on the high school track team to Yukari,
      and Yukari in return confided Amano's plans to leave Japan to study abroad
      to Hitomi.�<br>

      The second-in-command to the dashing Asturian knight, and master of the airship Crusade, Allen Schezar. The two men seem to be close friends, and it is clear that Allen trusts and relies upon his sergeant absolutely. This trust is merited because Gaddes is loyal, efficient, courageous and practical to the core.<br>
