Anon

A beautiful yet soft-spoken woman who didn't hesistate to show Elcia kindness upon their first meeting. She is Yuras' elder sister and shares a close bond with him, making Elcia somewhat envious of their tight-knit, familial relationship.

Her remarkable benevolence puts people around her at ease, giving her a mother-like quality. She seems to have a knack for healing, albeit her methods seems to be unknown.

Essi

One of Elcia's childhood friends who graduated from the same institute. She also works in the same organization as Elcia, her role being similar to that of a secretary.

She is serious, hardworking and generally kind, very dissimilar to her friends. Nevertheless, she still hangs out with them, even if she doesn't approve of their idea of "fun".

Irina is idealistic, hopeful and strongly believes in the possibility of the restoration of a "green earth" and wishes to someday see it.

Girlfriend, Childhood Friend, Employee, Coworker, Secretary

Irina

Pedoe's thirteenth wife and the mother of Ursin. While her appearance isn't exactly what one would describe as inviting, she is a nice, refined woman who would be willing to lend a hand to those worthy of trust.

Her taste in men is slightly questionable; however, unlike her husband, she genuinely cares for her son, Ursin.

Memme

Essi met Oure when she was lost in the corridor. He sports a completely white outfit from top to toes that can only be matched with his favorite past times--- watching the clouds.

Oure

An aristocrat, Ursin's father and the King's younger brother who also happens to possess a rather disturbing obsession with bears, to the point where everything he owns must have it.

Pedoe

The current president of ORZ Corporate and leader of Thera. He lives life in secrecy and barely makes any public appearances which is definitely understandable considering his job. 

[spoiler]He is Belph's uncle and frighteningly enough, they share the same playful, mischievous personality; however, he seems to be on an entirely different level for he can even make Belph lose his composure.[/spoiler]

Villain, Uncle, Employer, Scientist, Coworker, Famous, Executive, Antagonist

Trole

A student of Xen institute, Yuon was the one who invited Essi to his school in order to investigate a murder case and a mysterious disappearance. He knew about Essi's abilities and asked her to use them to find the culprit.

Serious and hardworking, Yuon can usually be found working in his own office.

[from [url=http://www.zeiva.net/otome/x_note_cast_yuon.html]official site[/url]]

Yuon

The leader of Santo, a village exclusively for warriors. He is the father of Ciera and Yuras, although it appears that his amount of concern for them is close to nil.

He appears to be extremely daunting, terribly fitting with his personality. Heavily inclined towards violence, he won't hesitate to harm the innocent just to get what he wants. His family members are no exception.

Warrior, Villain, Non-blood-related Father, Antagonist

Pretending, Strict, Cold-hearted, Violent

Brash

The current ruler of Orzea Kingdom and the older brother of Pedoe. Much like his younger brother, he has an uncanny obsession: cookies. To say its the only thing he cares about is probably not an exaggeration, which makes it questionable if such a person is truly capable of leading a kingdom.

Orzea

The first person to have encountered Elcia upon her first visit to the Middle Ages. An energetic young boy whom surprisingly enough, isn't your typical spoiled brat for a rich kid. He's actually down to earth and can be a little too trusting when it comes to strangers. He's quite proud of his heritage and adores his father, Pedoe, greatly.

Ursin

In the far future, people live 1000 meters deep underground. Technology is abundant, but life is a constant struggle. An organization sought to end this by sending people back in time to recover lost natural resources. Elcia is one of those people. As a Time Negotiator, it's her job to travel across various dimensions and negotiate with people of the past.

However, in a strange twist of fate, Elcia accidentally stumbled upon an unknown dimension known as "Area-X" during her very first mission. Following its discovery, more bizarre incidents and conspiracies awaited her one after another—all of this eventually led to discovering the uncanny nature of the world and how it all ties to Elcia's very own mysterious past...
