Introduction

The Characters category profiles the entire cast of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, from the Bracer Guild heroes who carry the story to the Enforcers of the secret society Ouroboros who threaten Liberl. At the heart of the game is Estelle Bright, now a senior Bracer chasing the vanished Joshua after he reveals the dark truth of his past on the night of the Queen's Birthday Festival. Every profile covers a character's role in the plot, their combat identity in the remake — whether they excel at Crafts, Arts healing or physical burst — and the voice actor who brings them to life in the full English and Japanese audio. We also track the newly revealed English cast announced by GungHo, so you can match actors like Stephanie Sheh, Johnny Yong Bosch, Michelle Ruff and Matthew Mercer to their characters.

Key Cast Profiles

Estelle Bright

protagonist

Estelle Bright is the senior Bracer protagonist whose staff combat, versatile Crafts and support Arts make her a reliable all-rounder in every party, and the emotional weight of her search after Joshua vanishes carries the entire 2nd Chapter story from the Queen's Birthday Festival to the final confrontation. Revisit this profile when building your party for a boss fight, since quartz loadouts and craft timing often decide which characters shine in the remake action flow.

Joshua Bright

Joshua Bright's twin blades and evasion-heavy kit make him an agile single-target striker, with the devastating Black Fang S-Craft as his signature finisher; his dark past as an Ouroboros-trained assassin fuels the plot, and players who build him for dodging dominate the remake's action combat. Revisit this profile when building your party for a boss fight, since quartz loadouts and craft timing often decide which characters shine in the remake action flow.

Scherazard Harvey

Scherazard Harvey is the playful veteran Bracer whose whip Crafts hit multiple enemies and whose buffs and healing Arts keep a party alive through long fights, and she is voiced by Michelle Ruff in English in one of the remake's newly confirmed cast announcements.

Olivier Lenheim

Olivier Lenheim combines flamboyant charm with top-tier Arts casting, making him the strongest magical damage dealer on most teams, and his secret mission adds layers to the story while giving you access to the widest elemental spell coverage with an ATS-focused quartz build.

Renne

enforcer

Renne is the child Enforcer of Ouroboros whose tragic backstory and surprising connection to the Bright family make her one of the most memorable characters in the saga, and in battle she brings determination and strong magic alongside story scenes among the most emotionally charged in 2nd Chapter. Revisit this profile when building your party for a boss fight, since quartz loadouts and craft timing often decide which characters shine in the remake action flow.

Agate Crosner

Agate Crosner is the party's heavy blade powerhouse, trading speed for raw strength and delivering devastating S-Craft finishers; pairing him with STR-boosting quartz lets him shred enemy phases, though he needs cover from casters because his slower timing leaves him open in real-time flow. Revisit this profile when building your party for a boss fight, since quartz loadouts and craft timing often decide which characters shine in the remake action flow.

Core Mechanics

Character mechanics in the remake follow the classic Trails structure: each party member has a unique weapon and Craft list, learns S-Crafts by filling the CP gauge, and slots Quartz into a personal Orbment to gain Arts access. What changes in 2nd Chapter is how the action combat warps your priorities — agile characters like Joshua excel at dodging and quick follow-up attacks, while casters like Olivier and Kloe hang back to channel Arts. Understanding each character's stats, elemental affinities and unlock timing matters for building the right party for each region and boss. Enforcer-type antagonists like Renne and Leonhardt add pressure with unique movesets when you face them in story battles.
