New Cast Members

The characters revealed in this latest announcement include the family of the main protagonist, Arell. Here’s a look at each character:

Fara: Voiced by Mai Nakahara

Fara is Arell's mother, who was blessed by a goddess in her youth and granted the high rank of 'Sword Princess.' Her personality is warm and nurturing. Not only does she impart her swordsmanship skills to her son Arell, but she also teaches cooking to Raina, combining it with her preparations for marriage.

Leon: Voiced by Nobuya Takahashi

Leon is Arell's father, who, like Fara, was blessed by a goddess, achieving the high position of 'Magic King.' He is known for his gentle demeanor and possesses extensive magical prowess. Leon often finds himself admiring Fara, who teaches Arell the art of swordsmanship, while he specializes in magic.

Astrea: Voiced by Karin Isobe

Astrea is Arell's older sister, notably petite, having surpassed her brother's height by the age of ten. Her attachment to Arell is profound, even harboring romantic feelings and aims for a marriage to him. She has a unique way of speaking, often ending her sentences with 'nano da.'

Mira: Voiced by Yuka Iguchi

Mira, Arell's younger sister, stands out for her striking black hair, unlike her sister. Like Astrea, she adores Arell and becomes sulky when he’s absent for long periods. However, she also shows a tough side when dealing with Raina, who often accompanies Arell.
