Helios Eclipse/Characters
Main Characters
Helios
He is one of the three great rulers of the Magic World. Because he resembles the sign of the sun, he is the main source of power of the Magic World. He is rather quiet and does not trust people easily, especially humans after he visited the human world to pay his last respects to the deceased Syn I. While searching for the savior of the Magic World, he accidentally stumbled upon Mineko, and that has changed his perspective about humans. He accepts Mineko as a friend and ally. His feelings towards Mineko slowly grows to a stage where it is 'more than just friends'. He owned a fire element called Miraa.

Mineko
She is selected as the savior of both worlds as she saved Helios from being swallowed by a magical whirlwind. This happened while Helios was using his limited power to search for the savior. She has a naive, cheerful personality and is always energetic, thus easily trusting people. But as the story progresses, her personality slowly changes. Her sincerity was questioned by Syn II, who then gave her a test to save the Magic World. At the end of the test, she sacrificed herself to save the Magic World from darkness. She was then revived by Princess Moragana who used the power of the Phoenix as Moragana claimed that "it was meant to be". After her revival, she received the power to create illusions from Syn II, proof that she managed to pass his test. The phoenix in her has become the target of The Dark World.

Luna
Luna is the brother of Helios and resembles the sign of the moon. He is different from his brother, as he is always calm in any situation and thinks of the consequences before he acts. He became Helios's second in command, and always stood by Helios whenever he needed help, even when not requested by helios. Luna had the ability to read peoples' minds by touching them, as he claimed his ability was similar to Moragana's. He seemed to be secretly in love with Mineko and died protecting her.
Kazura/Louis
Louis or Kazura is Mineko and Tooru's best friend since they were children. But in reality, he is the Dark Magician sent by the Dark World to kill Helios. At first, he become the antagonist when he betrayed Mineko and the others in order to kill Helios. However, he did not expect that Mineko would turn out to be the savior that was mentioned in Moragana's prophecy. After Maryvessa was killed by Helios, he betrayed the Dark World to cope with his pain and regret towards Maryvessa's death and hatred towards Soileh. His thoughts are hard to read either by his friends or his enemies, making him the perfect spy. This also helps him in battle when his enemies cannot read his moves. His abilities are shape-shifting and duplication. But as the story progresses, he gained the capabiliy to produce lightning. (This is shown when Louis ate the medicine Evilina gave him to fight Arisu and Soileh). Little information is known about his past except when Maryvessa met with him in human world, he admitted that since 'that day', he was no longer a human.

Then it was also revealed that he was the one who was plotting Syn I's death, making Helios furious. Now his only ambition is to create a perfect world in darkness. To make sure his plan succeeds, he orders his minions to capture Mineko, the prophesized saviour that contains the power of Phoenix.

The Scarred Lady
She appears in Mineko's dream several times. When Mineko saw her, she was stabbing both Helios (the another one could maybe be presumed as Soileh) with a knife. Moragana (in the dream world) showed her the possible fate of both the rulers of the Magic and Shadow Realms, hoping that Mineko would be able to stop the event before it happens. Her real identity is unknown, because her face was never shown and the only mark that Mineko noticed was her scar at her neck and her long white hair. She presumably will be the villain of the story.
