Naira
 

A commanding, larger-than-life woman.
Ruler of Fortburg and the Cinder Ridge's ace Ascended One. Be it a boulder in her path or a monster gone berserk, nothing stands long against her crushing blows. Driven by the mission to restore her homeland, Naira bears a burden as vast as the mountains themselves.

Micaela
 

The forge's resident genius inventor.
Anything Micaela lays her hands on becomes truly one of a kind—there's simply no second copy anywhere in the world.
"To surpass is to stand at the summit and reach for the sky!
So if I just make a teeny tiny adjustment to what's already there, that sky called 'dreams' will be within reach... probably!"—Or so Micaela claims.

Karlos
 

The Cinder Ridge's most hot-blooded boy!
There's nothing training can't fix—and if there is, just tack on another ten kilometers of weighted handstand sprints!
Naturally, this method has only ever been tested on Karlos. Anyone else trying it would be risking their life. It may be a bit harsh to say, but... he's a complete muscle-brained fool. Honestly, the sheer intensity of his training is hard to believe.

Braulio
 

A burly merchant and the ever-reliable big brother
 Among the folks, even those without blood ties live as family, with the eldest caring for the rest. Braulio has always been that elder brother—shouldering the burden early, crossing mountain after mountain with goods on his back, earning a living for them all.
Now that his siblings have grown, Braulio still hasn't quite learned to let go.

Mateo
 

Small in stature, big in brains.
The folks are usually all energy and muscle, thriving on hard work and sweat. Mateo, aside from his horns and sun-browned skin, couldn't be further from that image. He avoids exercise, spends his days half-asleep, and can sit with a book from morning till night—sometimes forgetting to eat entirely.
...Maybe that's why he never grew any taller.
