Character Profiles
Estelle Bright
Voice Actors: Stephanie Sheh (ENG), Tomoyo Takayanagi (JP)
Estelle is a determined girl from the Liberl Kingdom, training to become a Bracer to ensure civilian safety and city peace.

Joshua was adopted by the Bright family five years ago. He is composed and enjoys reading and playing the harmonica. Intelligent and perceptive, he often helps to temper Estelle’s impulsiveness, though his mysterious past and occasional self-deprecation cast a shadow over his character.
Sherazard Harvey
Voice Actors: Michelle Ruff (ENG), Chika Anzai (JP)
Known as the “Silver Streak,” Sherazard is a Senior Bracer with a strong build and alluring beauty. She acts as a mentor figure to Estelle and her friends, balancing her protective nature with a tendency to indulge in alcohol, which can lead to clingy behavior when drunk.
Olivier Lenheim
Voice Actors: Matthew Mercer (ENG), Takehito Koyasu (JP)
This mysterious musician hails from the Erebonian Empire and possesses a talent for various instruments. While he often appears self-absorbed and unpredictable, his insightful nature allows him to see through the identities of Estelle and her friends during their first encounter.
Agate Crosner
Voice Actors: Ben Pronsky (ENG), Taku Yashiro (JP)
A youthful Bracer known as the “Heavy Blade,” Agate wields a massive sword with remarkable strength. Though he can be blunt and harsh towards the inexperienced Estelle and Joshua, his Bracer skills are well respected, and he is investigating a particular case across the Liberl Kingdom.
Kloe Rinz
Voice Actors: Cristina Vee (ENG), Hina Youmiya (JP)
Kloe is a student at the Jenis Royal Academy who volunteers at a local orphanage, where her kindness has garnered respect. She forms a close bond with a white falcon named Sieg and meets Estelle and Joshua while attending to orphanage business.
Tita Russell
Voice Actors: Brianna Knickerbocker (ENG), Hikaru Iida (JP)
Tita is the cheerful granddaughter of a renowned Orbal scientist. Her love for machines often distracts her, but she quickly becomes like a little sister to Estelle and Joshua due to her genuine nature and warm disposition.
Zin Vathek
Voice Actors: Vic Chao (ENG), Tetsu Inada (JP)
A veteran Bracer from the Calvard Republic, Zin practices the Taito Style martial arts and is known for his gentle demeanor despite his imposing size. His original quest in the Liberl Kingdom shifted toward teaming up with Estelle and Joshua after aiding them.
Players familiar with the Trails franchise will recognize these characters as they embark on the journey that marks the inception of the Kiseki saga. Originally released on PC in 2004 and later ported to the PSP in 2006, the game’s Western release occurred in 2011, with the PC version following in 2012.
