Characters of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter
Party, guild allies, and the Society of Ouroboros before the September 17 launch.
This hub is the roster map for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, Falcom’s 3D remake of Trails in the Sky SC. After the Liberl coup and the Queen’s Birthday Festival, Estelle Bright searches for Joshua. The Bracer Guild still has work. The Society of Ouroboros has a plan. This is a single-player JRPG: there is no shared-session roster and no rotating banner, only who stands in the field with Estelle.
Use the three child pages for depth. Party members covers playable and returning allies, English voices, and who appears in the free demo versus later chapters. Bracer guild is the desks: Aina, Jean, Kilika, Elnan, Kurt, Carna, and Grant. Ouroboros covers Enforcers, Enforcer Boost, and Weissmann’s plan at a high level, with a warning before late original-SC beats. How to actually win those fights is how to beat Enforcers.
Party line versus supporting cast
Estelle is the constant. Joshua is missing for much of the early story. Scherazard Harvey, Agate Crosner, Tita Russell, Kloe Rinz, Olivier Lenheim, and Zin Vathek return from 1st Chapter with new ranks and reasons to travel. Anelace Elfead and Kevin Graham are the names many SC veterans wait for. Josette Capua, with siblings Kyle and Don, crosses the plot as a later ally rather than a second protagonist.
Guild desks and army posts still matter. Cassius Bright returns to the Royal Army as a brigadier general (Kyle Hebert). Queen Alicia, Duke Dunan, Phillip, General Morgan, and Lt. Colonel Cid hold Liberl’s official line. Aina Holden, Jean, Kilika Rouran, Elnan, Kurt Nardin, Carna, and Grant keep bracer work moving while Estelle chases a missing partner. Kurt trains Estelle and Anelace. Kilika’s Calvard ties matter once Zin and Walter share a scene.
Demo versus later chapters
The free demo covers the prologue through Chapter 1: Rolent, Ruan, Grancel, and senior-bracer training at Le Locle. Expect Estelle, Schera, Anelace, and early contact with Zin plus instructors such as Kurt. Agate’s Heavy Blade kit belongs to the Chapter 1 stretch, not the title screen. Olivier, Kloe, Tita, Kevin, and Josette are later-party conversations; do not wait in the demo menu for a full eight-person select screen.
If you still need the on-ramp, start with Getting Started and the demo walkthrough. Combat roles only click after Brave Rush and Command Battle and the seventh quartz slot. Import notes live on save transfer. Side requests sit on side content.
Rankings stay provisional
The party tier list is a pre-release and demo ranking. It will move after the worldwide launch on September 17, 2026 (Steam storefronts may show September 16). Pair it with the quartz and Arts list instead of hunting invented damage tables. Dates and demo notes live under Updates, the demo page, and the release-date window. Storefronts sit on links.
When that September window opens, come back here first. The roster will grow, but the people you meet in the demo already show how Liberl fights: bracers in front, the Society in the wings, and a missing partner pulling every chapter forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for demo players and anyone waiting on the September launch.
Who should I read about first?
Start with party members if you are building a demo team. Open bracer guild for desks and Kurt. Open Ouroboros if you want Enforcer names without late-game plot dumps.
Which characters appear in the free demo?
The demo covers the prologue through Chapter 1, including Le Locle training. Estelle, Schera, and Anelace are the core field names, with Zin and guild staff around the lodge. Later joiners are listed on the party page and routed in the demo walkthrough.
Is Joshua playable from the start?
No. Joshua leaves after the Queen's Birthday Festival and is missing for much of the early story. Estelle's search is the spine of 2nd Chapter. Treat him as a story presence first, then check party members when his field role comes up.
Where do combat roles and quartz fit?
Staff, whip, blade, and orbal gun only matter once you understand Brave Rush and the orbment guide. Early letter grades live on the party tier list.
