Synopsis
Society has risen into the sky with beings known as Angels. Capable of wielding a powerful element, Angels use this incredible ability to combat the threat of mindless killers — Demons. But one choice may change the course of the world when Shinsa, a completely cognizant Demon, is spared by the high-ranking Angel, Astler Leidt.
Characters
Main Characters
Shinsa
Described as being a cognizant demon within the story synopsis, she is portrayed as being the ignorant demon princess of Shin-An. She can be seen as foolish and bull-headed, but often elevates the mood of a room with her bubbly attitude. Described by her brother as having been "like the sun".
Astler Leidt
Admiral Leidt is the Angel in control of the Coelcaitan Armada, implied to be is stronger than the entire Guard itself. He displays signs of emotional underdevelopment and detachment, often leading to a disconnect and/or awkwardness between himself and other characters. He spared Shinsa during Ep. 1 - Demon of Shin-An, and later, helps her disguise herself among angels.
Secondary Characters
Ryung
The former the Gladiolus, who worked under Master Loy in the Underbelly. Despite being a blank, his near-perfect memory has allowed for him to become the best in the Wildflower Vault. He is popular among many of the guard who frequented the Underbelly, with them crowding around his residence in Ep. 25 - A Solgloire Affair (1). With his influence, he is shown to have gotten whatever he wanted from his admirers, including murder.
Euclase de La Solgloire
Member of the prestigious Solgloire career family, he often faces ridicule for the paleness of his eyes. To compensate, he masks his insecurities under his family's pride. As a result, he can often jump to conclusions and relies upon prejudice and pre-conceived notion. As a child, he faced unrelenting pressure to meet standards and excel past them.
Lanning Chey
Formerly a pilot from the Chey Isles, she has become infamous and known as the 'pilot who believed she was too good for Chey', as she abandoned her duty and left her home island to become an angel. She is commonly portrayed as being naïve and optimistic, an outlying flaw within her character.
Because her eyes lean towards literacy, she is underestimated, but is still capable of fulfilling tasks regardless. She looks up to Eastern Captain Ludwig because of his role despite his eyes being a deep purple in hue.
Director Icarus
The sly Director of the Institute. Astler notes that she is suspicious, noting several things which would make her seem untrustworthy. However, he immediately contradicts this point, stating that he would trust Icarus with his life. She wears primarily black, with a turtleneck dress, pants, gloves, and high heels, an exception being a white lab coat slung over her shoulders. Icarus has red hair primarily worn in a braid.
Minor Characters
Eugene de la Solgloire
Eugene is the Captain of the Northern Squadron under the Admiral. He upholds his "perfect" Solgloire image in public, but secretly holds contempt for everyone surrounding him, believing for himself to be better in every way. He is highly skilled in chess, even beating Ryung whilst highly intoxicated. Additionally, he shows signs of using alcohol to cope and avoid situations of confrontation.
A year prior to the first episode, his previous squad was wiped out by a twin lion of Shin-An (Shinzen). Currently, his new squadron is small, consisting of the previous year's top candidates which were scraped together.
Eulifer de la Solgloire
Despite her initial appearance of the professional secretary of Admiral Leidt, Eulifer's entire personality is a façade. In Ep. 27 - A Little Too Lenient, she breaks character to show an entitled individual who is vying to become closer to the Admiral, where she is depicted smoking and cursing out Shinsa.
She has little to no jurisdiction when it comes to her family. During episodes 25 & 26 (A Solgloire Affair), she is shown to feel sympathetic towards Euclase, but is unable to do anything when he is being reprimanded.
Rangda Ishriv
Hailing from a family of career angels, she graduated valedictorian from the military academy above Euclase. Because of this, she has been sponsored by Bach. She relies heavily upon her immense cael capacity with which she can easily trump Euclase in a spar, but is easily beat by Ryung due to her lack of hardened skill.
General Bach
General Bach is in charge of the Guard. Due to his old age, his mind has deteriorated to the point which he can no longer wear a halo. He appears to have a certain level of disdain towards his fellow peers, especially Icarus. It is stated in Ep. 41 - Eugene's Enigma, that Archangel Seraphina only keeps him as General out of loyalty and pity.
Archangel Seraphina
Despite being Astler's mother, she does not appear to have an integral part in his life, an example of which being in flashback sequences, where Icarus is primarily shown to be taking care of Astler. Her manner of conveying herself hints towards the ignorance the angels holds towards others in need, adopting a 'sweep it under the rug, it'll be fine' approach. Always pictured with a smile.
Shinzen
The twelfth prince of Shin-An and Shinsa's closest sibling. He his first appearance is brief, where in the first episode, Astler eliminates him as a threat. His next appearance is within the flashback episodes (13-15) where it is explained that he was drugged and transformed into a demon. Upon figuring out this fact, Shinsa enacts punishment and slaughters the entire palace of Shin-An. She next follows the trail of angels into the Celestial Reef where she hopes to find closure in 'chasing after his ghost' because no corpse was found upon the battlefield.
