First Seen: Chapter 1, "The Thief and the Shepherd"
Belfry was a human girl from Vandermaine whose life was changed forever after a disastrous raid on a supposedly-abandoned temple led to her ingesting a strange gemstone of mysterious power that transformed her into an ersatz dragon. Belfry is very cynical and pragmatic, which she views as necessary traits to keep herself and the people she cares about alive. She gets nervous and flustered easily and feels fear very strongly whenever it rears its head. She has a good heart underneath her thorny exterior, and more than anything else longs to find a place she belongs.

First Seen: Chapter 1, "The Thief and the Shepherd"
Grace is Belfry's adoptive sister, and was a bright spot in her life for years until their home town burned, and Grace left home to follow her dream. She subsisted on glorious, fantastical tales of knights and dragons in her youth, and has always wanted to become a knight herself, but was denied entry to the Dragoon Corps on her first attempt. She is relentlessly optimistic and views it as her responsibility to make the best of her choices and always lend others her aid when she can. While she isn't naïve, she has a bad habit of favouring risky options even when they aren't necessary.

He lived a simple life after the sudden disappearance of his wife, practising simple but potent acts of kindness, taking care of his sheep, and remaining loyal to the Lundenian Empire.
