Sheena devotes her life to redemption after being blamed for causing a tragedy that took the lives of many of the people of Mizuho. Over the course of four thousand years, he all but forgets what he (and his partners) used to stand for. He returns to Mithos to fight for ideologies that he doesn't agree with deep down. He leaves the four Seraphim to try and live a normal life, where he'll have everything taken from him. The apprentice he trained thousands of years ago becomes a murderous psychopath who is obsessed with reviving his sister and punishing anyone who even RESEMBLES those who had a hand in her death. All the while, she never loses her temper, never gets tired of protecting everyone and is always prepared to sacrifice everything to make a difference. She even feels isolated and different because she's slowly turning into an angel. Isolation and "other-ness" is the only life they know.Ĭolette isn't just a ditsy girl with a positive outlook - She feels guilt for all the suffering in Sylvarant and presses on through grueling and painful body transformations in a long journey, all to give up her life for people who she doesn't even know. They both secretly live in isolation alongside people who hate their kind, looking them right in the face as they unknowingly tear them down and make them feel like they have no place in this world. Genis and Raine both have to look out for one another, constantly living in fear and secrecy because they're Half-Elves. All he wants is for the violence and hatred to stop, but he'll have to literally go to the ends of the Earth to make a difference. Lloyd had a very vague early childhood which robbed him of his family - From the very beginning, he has been something of an outsider (not even technically a citizen of Iselia) who had to learn the hard way that stopping oppression and subjugation would result in a lot of death. Not only that, but each character's story tends to come full-circle as some characters' stories are intertwined, and they all eventually have an effect on one another. When you really think about it, every single one of the main characters has a very sad and tragic background, and unlike a lot of other stories, those backgrounds don't simply remain out of sight, out of mind - Their stories shape the way the characters act and affect their pivotal decisions. I was curious about other peoples' thoughts on the constant theme of peril and tragedy in ToS. I mentioned it in the title, and I'll say it again.
