The Four Families
*Shinomiya Clan: The Noble Sky*
KOURIN SHINOMIYA (Morita Suzuka) - The "Last Sky" and the current (not to mention the youngest) leader of the Shinomiya clan. After the hunt and battle they had with the Dark Rose, she is able to live her life again using her real name, thus revealing to the world about her survival from the Shinomiya mansion attack in Kyoto a few years before. She proceeded to live her life as a normal college student with Seiichi Yasuhara by her side and still good friends with Raiden Wilford even after rejecting his romantic affection to her. But her normal life soon changed upon learning from Raiden that the Yasunaga clan will finally forsake their isolation in order to destroy the Black Thorns — which was another event that was mention in one of Hitoshi Shinomiya's prophecies. Aside from that, she had to do everything to learn the truth about her brother's death upon meeting Yousuke Raisaki — a young and talented swordsman who bears a striking resemblance to her dead brother! Aside from being a talented leader, she is also an expert in swordsmanship and sharpshooting in spite of her young age. Nanami Miyuzaki later helps her in polishing her sword skills while Takaharu Kousaka became her sharpshooting training. She first learned swordsmanship from her dead older brother when she was four years old. At the age of 9, Mari conveyed a unique way of sharpshooting to her that actually aims her target's wrists, ankles, and the side of the neck, no matter how fast the target moves to avoid her bullets in order to easily disable her target's movements.
MARI SHINOMIYA (Kim Tae Hee) - The "13th Knight of the Sky" and the older sister of Kourin. Matapos ang labang kinaharap nila laban sa Dark Rose, bumalik siya sa pagiging international actress gamit na ang tunay niyang pangalan. But in the course of her new life, she became aware of the fact that she had closed her heart after Shigeru Miyuzaki's death as she felt that she couldn't love anyone else besides him. Itinuon na lang niya ang kanyang atensyon sa pagtulong sa mga kasamahan niya na tukuyin ang totoong pakay ng Black Thorns na tinutugis din ang mga miyembro ng Four Families. She is said (and also proven) to be equally skilled as Ryuuji Mikazuki and Shigeru, which also became one of the factors for her to earn the title of "The Strongest Knight of the Sky".
RYUUJI MIKAZUKI (Jung Yunho of TVXQ) - Mari Shinomiya's shadow guardian and the Shinomiya sisters' maternal cousin with the codename "Phantom Blaze". He is the protector of the Shinomiya family's Flower Stone - the Purple Tulip Crystal. Mas naging determinado siya sa pagbabantay sa mga pinsan niya matapos mamatay ni Shiro Nishikawa. But knowing the fact that Shiro's younger brother Jun held one of the secrets of the Yasunaga clan's revival and unification with the Four Families through Shingo Yanai and Yousuke Raisaki, alam niyang kailangan pa niyang magpursige sa pagprotekta sa mga ito. This time, he's determined not to lose anyone anymore — and he's hell bent in making that happen at all cost. He works as an undercover agent for the Four Families that mainly deals with some of the most dangerous activities in which the 12 Knights couldn't handle because of other affairs they needed to deal with and those that are beyond the Knights' capabilities. Madalas niyang kasama sina Shuichi Yoshino, Takaharu Kousaka, Adrian Corazza, Mio Koizumi, at ang kapatid niyang si Akemi kapag malala na ang misyong kinasangkutan nila.
AKEMI MIKAZUKI (Kim So Eun) - The Shinomiya sisters' maternal cousin and Ryuuji's sister. Siya ang isa sa pinakamagaling na sniper ng Four Families, only second to Chrono Arthur Elzea and Mamoru Yumemiya despite not being a part of the 12 Knights of the Sky. Apparently, it was discovered in Book 1 that she once trained Yasha Wilford in gun-wielding and she's planning to take her in as her protégé. She became even more determined to fight as they protect the people important to her after killing Vulcan (whose real name was Hikaru Matsuda) whom she fell in love with before realizing his true intention to destroy her family. The event also made her close her heart from loving any man until they made sure that no more enemies would try and dare destroy the peace that Kourin has nearly risked her life to achieve for all of them.
SHINGO YANAI (Sato Takeru) - He is referred to by his late half-brother Ryuuki Shinomiya as "The Ethereal Sky", thus making him Mari and Kourin's paternal uncle. Noong una ay mas kilala siya ng lahat bilang operation psychologist ng Four Families at scientist sa Miyuzaki Laboratory. He is also a talented and accurate sniper who once became Chrono and Mamoru's trainer in the same field. The details about hiding his true lineage proved itself to be of importance lalo na sa pagtatago nito sa pangangalaga ng mga Miyuzaki. He was revealed to be a descendant of a Shinomiya and a Yasunaga which made him referred by his relatives as one of the keys to the unification of the Four Families and the Yasunaga clan after 300 years.
*Azuraya Clan: The Blazing Sun Knights*
SATORU AZURAYA (Matsuzaka Tori) - The "Stirring Fire" of the 12 Knights of the Sky and the late Hotaru Nanasaki's older brother. He is also the late Tsukasa Miyuzaki's fiancé. He resumed using his father's surname Azuraya after the Dark Rose event. But using his mother's maiden name didn't actually diminish his devotion as an Azuraya warrior to continue protecting the Last Sky of the Earth (Kourin) even though the mission itself took his sister and his fiancee's lives during the course of the event. Wala siyang pinagsisisihan sa mga nangyari kahit na matinding depression ang tumama sa kanya sa pagkawala ng mga ito. But Nanami Miyuzaki made it clear to him that if he continues to mope around for what he had lost, it's for the best if he relinquish his position as a Knight. Those words made him realize the reason why he strive hard to become one of the 12 Knights. Kaya naman nang magsimulang maging magulo ang lahat sa kanila dahil sa mga nalaman nila tungkol sa Yasunaga clan, he stayed by Amiko Azuraya's side in protecting Kourin Shinomiya at all cost. He is one of the veteran field agents of the 12 Knights, alongside Chrono Arthur Elzea, Takumi Miyuzaki and Mamoru Yumemiya. His expertise lies on his speed and brutality of his fighting style in the battlefield.
AMIKO AZURAYA (Kim Yoo Jung) - The "Blue Shadow" of the 12 Knights of the Sky and Kourin Shinomiya's shadow guardian. As revealed in Book 1, she is Theron Karl Miyamoto's cousin and supposed to be the heir to the position of being the Miyamoto clan's leader had she not relinquished it to Theron after his stepfather attempted to take her life before Kenji Azuraya saved her. And it was also revealed that her clan is one of the branch directly linked to the Yasunaga clan, making her a Yasunaga, as well. She is later learned to be a practitioner of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu's Lightning Dragon Violent Fang Wakizashi Style. She is also a practitioner of the Lightning Dragon Twin Slashing Kodachi Style, which is the same technique that Reiko Kirisaki mastered.
KENJI AZURAYA (Jung Yong Hwa) - The current leader of the Azuraya clan and Amiko Azuraya's adoptive father. He is also the late Azuraya clan princess Arisa Azuraya's older brother. He ruled the clan with conviction as he vowed not to lose anyone anymore after losing his sister in the course of the Dark Rose event. Bagaman kilala ng lahat na seryoso at hindi marunong ngumiti, Amiko once said that he just knew how to conceal his emotions in order not to affect anyone's resolve in doing their duties and missions. He further trained Amiko after the event into becoming an even more effective shadow guardian for the Shinomiya clan princess. He usually discusses issues that has a relation to the Four Families with Shouda Miyuzaki.
SHUICHI YOSHINO (Lee Changmin of 2AM) - One of the protectors of the 14 Celestial Succession Ceremonial Items alongside Akira Sakagami and the wielder of the Red Dragon Sword. Hindi siya madalas magpakita sa ibang mga members dahil siya ang isa sa mga isinasabak sa field missions na malabong matapos ng mga 12 Knights. Ever since Kourin Shinomiya entrusted the Red Dragon Sword to him, his loyalty to her intensified tenfold that makes him completely determined to end the lives of anyone who dares hurt her and everyone important to her remorselessly.
*Yumemiya Clan: The Elegant Moon Knights*
MAMORU YUMEMIYA (Shirota Yuu) - The "Whirlwind Falcon" of the 12 Knights of the Sky and the current leader of the Yumemiya clan. He is the late Miyako Yumemiya's older brother and a half-British (with his father a Japanese and her mother a British) managing their family's perfume company in Paris. After Miyako's death, he relinquished its management to his business partner Yukiji Yamazaki and continued to support the Shinomiya clan princess by doing various undercover missions for her, even without Mari Shinomiya's permission. One that has picked his attention would be determining Yousuke Raisaki's past and eventually finding out the identity of the one who will inherit the title of "Schwertkreuz".
CHRONO ARTHUR ELZEA (Mario Maurer) - The "Iron Eagle" of the 12 Knights of the Sky and Mamoru Yumemiya's paternal cousin. Just like the Whirlwind Falcon, he is also half-British (with his father the British one and his mother a Japanese). He is the late Julianna Marie "Julie" Elzea's older brother and the deadliest sniper among the Yumemiya clan alongside Mamoru. Madali lang sa kanya ang mag-adapt sa isang lugar kaya naman may mga pagkakataon na ang tawag sa kanya ay "Chameleon". His disguising ability was remarkable that it outshines that of the three mistresses of disguise (Hotaru Nanasaki, Tsukasa Miyuzaki, and his sister Julie). He continued his career in car racing even after the Dark Rose event was concluded that his skill rivals that of Ichirou Ogawa but was forced to turn his back from it once more when the Black Thorns began targeting other Four Families' members.
TETSUYA KISARAGI (Yamada Ryosuke) – The "Slashing Whirlwind" known as one of Shinomiya Kourin's shadow guardians alongside Azuraya Amiko.
*Miyuzaki Clan: The Devoted Star Knights*
TAKUMI MIYUZAKI (Lee Min Ho) - The "Storm Hunter" and the new leader of the 12 Knights of the Sky and Kana and Nanami's older brother. Originally, he was known as a professional tennis player but decided to relinquish it when the Dark Rose event got worse than it ever was. But unknown to the others, nagkaroon siya ng kaugnayan kay Misaki Nagishima. What surprised him later on when they met again was the fact that the woman was actually a member of the Yasunaga clan, specifically that of the Second Branch. He is regarded as the second strongest Knight next to Mari, though his late older brother Shigeru Miyuzaki (the previous Death Stalker of the 12 Knights) held that position before the latter's death. Madalas siyang isinasabak sa mga field missions but this time, he chose to finish it as soon as possible because of the promise he made to his dead siblings' graves (Shigeru and Tsukasa) that he would never leave his two sisters' (Kana and Nanami) side when things got worst for all of them. Sinunod niya ang pangakong iyon nang mag-umpisang gumawa ng paraan ang Black Thorns na patayin ang sinumang konektado sa mga Yasunaga clan.
KANA MIYUZAKI (Kwon Yuri of SNSD) - The "Crimson Lancer" of the 12 Knights of the Sky. She is the second youngest among the Miyuzaki siblings with a remarkable talent in wielding polearm weapons, which became the basis of her codename. During TLSOTE Book 1, she admitted that she was in love with Ryuuji Mikazuki in which the man returned but chose not to further continue getting into a relationship for a while because they knew from Raiden Wilford, Theron Miyamoto, and Amiko Azuraya that reviving the honor of the fallen Yasunaga clan would bring them immense danger. She decided to stay by Yasha Wilford's side in order to protect her when the woman decided to head to Himeji Castle to retrieve the scroll that will answer their questions about the Blood Moon Massacre. Aside from that, she tried to discover the identity of the warrior who had saved Yasha from being killed while trying to retrieve the mysterious scroll at the aforementioned castle, not knowing that doing so would turn their worlds upside-down.
NANAMI MIYUZAKI (Takei Emi) - The "Scarlet Saber" of the 12 Knights of the Sky and the wielder of the Blue Dragon Sword. Among the Miyuzaki clan warriors, she is said to be the one with the most remarkable talent in handling bladed weapons alongside Aki Yoshikawa of the Azuraya clan who came in second spot. She became Kourin Shinomiya's swordsmanship instructor in order to polish the princess' sword skills. It was revealed in TLSOTE Book 1 that she had long held romantic feelings for Satoru Nanasaki but chose not to reveal it to him when he proposed to her sister Tsukasa Miyuzaki. When Tsukasa was killed, she witnessed how Satoru fell into deep depression that it hurts her. She even came to a point that she reprimanded him about it and challenged him into relinquishing his position as one of the 12 Knights if he continued moping around. After the battle with the Dark Rose, she confessed her feelings to him just to bring herself some closure.
SHOUDA MIYUZAKI (Ha Ga In) - The current leader of the Miyuzaki clan. Siya ang dating fianceé ni Shingo Yanai pero mas pinili nito si Yasha Wilford. She didn't take it as an offense, though. She knew in her heart that Shingo would never really become hers since the first time she saw him and Yasha together even before the attack at the Shinomiya mansion. But it was also discovered that she and her late sister Shouko was the one that the previous Shinomiya clan lord Ryuuji Shinomiya had entrusted with the secret about Shingo's identity and lineage. She is a chemist at the Miyuzaki Laboratory and the hospital director at Four Flowers Hospital that uses her knowledge in medicine and short knife wielding to take down her enemies for good in nearly an instant.
TAKERU UEHARA (Im Seulong of 2AM) - Yasha Wilford's ex-boyfriend who later on become the boyfriend of Reiko Kirisaki. He is the current protector of the Peruvian Heliotrope Crystal, the Flower Stone of the Miyuzaki clan. But to the world, he is known as a famous composer and singer who captivated the hearts of his audience. Yet he decided to lay low for a while when the Dark Rose event got worse than it ever could for them. Masasabing siya ang isa sa pinakamalapit na warriors kay Hitoshi Shinomiya kaya naman nagkaroon siya ng alinlangan noon na protektahan si Seiichi Yasuhara kahit na iyon pa ang huling utos sa kanya ng Shinomiya clan prince. Along with that, he was also ordered to protect the Shinomiya siblings' uncle — which was later revealed to be Shingo Yanai. He was Daryll Corazza's protege and was also close to the man's younger half-brother Adrian Corazza whom he trained in secret because of his promise to Daryll before he died.
Yasunaga Clan
*First Branch: The Blue Rose Tasuke*
SEIICHI YASUHARA (Suzuki Shogo) - The son of a couple who happened to be important figures among the Yasunaga clan. Not only did he discover that he belongs to the First Branch of the Yasunaga clan, being one of the direct descendants of the First Clan Prince Tasuke, but he also holds the key to unraveling the secrets that lies within each of the Eight Celestial Points found in the Philippines where the Yasunaga clan sought refuge after the Blood Moon Massacre. He is discovered to be a practitioner of one of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu called Lightning Dragon Phantasm Crossfire Katana Style, which is the technique that one of his shadow guardians Raiden Wilford later helps him in polishing it. He is the wielder of the Full Moon Sword, an item mentioned in various history records that only the direct descendant of the First Clan Prince can use.
*Third Branch: The White Rose Mihane*
RAIDEN WILFORD (Shiono Akihisa) - Regarded by his uncle as the "future of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu", he is a practitioner of not just one but three styles in the said kenjutsu. He is Yasha's younger brother and he protected their father's last will with regards to their true lineage when his sister couldn't even remember anything about it because of the trauma she suffered during the Shinomiya mansion attack in Kyoto a few years prior. He became Seiichi Yasuhara's shadow guardian alongside Reiko Kirisaki at the end of TLSOTE Book 1 after settling his issues with the man who happened to be Kourin Shinomiya's love interest. He remained good friends with the Shinomiya clan princess and still values her safety and happiness more than anything else.
YASHA WILFORD (Baifern Pimchanok) - Raiden's older sister and Shingo Yanai's love interest who is a photojournalist and a researcher. In TLSOTE Book 1, it is revealed that Akemi Mikazuki trained her in marksmanship and has the intention of letting her become the sniper's protégé. She lost at least half of her memories right after the attack at the Shinomiya mansion wherein she witnessed her best friend Jun Nishikawa's downfall because he was shielding her from an incoming attack. She was able to retrieve those lost memories later on with Shingo and Jun's help.
THERON MIYAMOTO (Hongo Kanata) - The prince of the Miyamoto clan who took Amiko Azuraya's place who is also a full-blood Yasunaga as the leader of the clan. Just like the expertise of Ayuka Inubushi who died to protect him in TLSOTE Book 1, he is also a practitioner of one of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu called Lightning Dragon Supreme Striker Uchigatana Style. He normally acts cold and standoffish, but nevertheless cares for his cousin and his retainers' safety more than anything else. He is said to be the Miyamoto clan's greatest leader of the modern generation that no one had ever come to doubt him or question the way he rules the clan.
CHIZUE KAJIMOTO (Seo Hyun of SNSD) - A skilled archer who is Raiden Wilford's best friend. Her precision and control in archery is said to be in par with that of the Yumemiya clan's sharpshooting abilities. She is also a brilliant composer in which her musical inclination and song-composing talent is said to be enough to surpass that of Takeru Uehara's. But besides being an archer, it was revealed later on that she is also a practitioner of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu's Lightning Dragon Thundering Dance Naginata Style—a skill she said to have been inherited from her mother.
*Fourth Branch: The Peach Rose Isami*
REIKO KIRISAKI (IU/Lee Ji Eun) - A young sword wielder who was then discovered to be a practitioner of the Shichi RaiRyuuKen kenjutsu's Lightning Dragon Twin Slashing Kodachi Style. She is in a relationship with Takeru Uehara and is also Seiichi Yasuhara's best friend who became his shadow guardian alongside Raiden Wilford. Her parents are known to be talented swordsmiths as they forged the swords and other bladed weapons used by the Yasunaga clan to this day. This became a reason why she was able to identify the components of the blades used to forge a particular sword that it was easy for her to identify its strength and capabilities..
