Escaflowne Characters

 

Hitomi Kanzaki

Hitomi is about as normal a teenage girl can get, with a best friend Yukari, a spot on the high school track team, and a crush on the star sprinter.  But, her earnestness and fascination and fortune-telling (especially tarot readings and dowsing) sets her apart.  Tears ago, her grandmother gave her a set of tarot cards and an unusual red pendant which, along with her strange visions, play an important role in her adventures on Earth as well as Gaea.

Note: "Hitomi" means pupil or iris (as in the "color" of the eye).

Van Slanzar de Fanel

The death of Van's father and the disappearance of his older brother left him to rule Fanelia.  Before he can become king and pilot the legendary Guymelef known as Escaflowne, he must slay a dragon for its Engergist crystal.  Although inexperienced early on, he rushes into the forefront of the Gaea War against the Zaibach Empire.  This struggle eventually leads him to face his emotional problems over his family's past and the mysterious girl from the Mystic Moon.  (Pilots the guymelef Escaflowne)
Age: The equivalent of 15 Earth years

Allen Crusade Schezar

Dashing looks, carefree personality, and great skill in swordsmanship, Allen would seem to be the characteristic of chivalry.  But in reality he holds in simmering bitterment and a troubled past with an absent father, deceased mother, and a long-lost sister.  Even though Allen is one of the Knights Caeli (the elite corps of Asturia knights), King Aston has for some reason stationed him on a frontier outpost near Fanelia's border.  (Pilots the guymelef Scherazade)
Age: The equivalent of 21 Earth years

Dilandua Albatou

This comely Alseides pilot of Zaibach's forces does not take lightly to insult and injury from enemies.  Dilandau commands the Dragon Slayers, an elite squad of mecha soldiers devoted to capturing the Escaflowne.  The Dragon Slayers' brutal tactics mesh well with Dilandau's sadistic and troubled personality born of traumatic experiences in the past.  (Pilots the guymelef Aseides)

Birthday: Red, 8th Moon (Equivalent of August 8)
