Starmaiden of Akasha/Characters

List of Starmaiden Of Akasha characters (currently incomplete).

Note that quite a few of these names I made up on the spot and will likely be changed in the future.

Freya Crowleyvane
The main character of the story, Freya is seventeen years old with brownish-black hair just below shoulder-length.

When she was very young an accident happened with permanently damaged her eyes, as a result she's now unable to look at television or computer screens without suffering from migraines. In a world highly reliant on digital and cybernetic technology, Freya feels like a complete outcast.

Freya's a generally nice person, although certainly not The Pollyanna, she has touches of world-weariness and snark. Has no real interest in the Grail and fights mainly to stop Roderick and later the other adversaries she and Saber face.
 * Bookworm -> Badass Bookworm (although she states that if she could watch television, play video games and use the internet, along with oher future activities like everyone else, she never would have had much interest in books).
 * Broken Masquerade - Knew absolutely nothing about the Mages' Association or her own magic powers until she met Roderick.
 * Deadpan Snarker - Although not to a very large extent.
 * Expy - Based roughly on Tomoya Okazaki, although Gender Flipped. Her clothing however looks a lot like Kanji Tatsumi's.
 * Glasses Girl
 * Kid with the Leash - To Saber.
 * Jack of All Stats - She's able to use most types of normal magic, although her magical Power Level's rather low compared to everyone else's.
 * Loners Are Freaks - What most see her as, since due to her eyesight problems she doesn't get a chance to connect with many people, although nobody ever acts malicious to her.
 * Naive Newcomer - To the world of magic.
 * Neutral Good (Probably the only character who is).
 * Overshadowed by Awesome - She's only a fledgeling mage, all the other Masters are mostly highly experienced sorcerers. Doesn't mean she Can't Catch Up though.
 * Plucky Girl
 * Unwanted Harem - Though not of the usual sort.
 * Weirdness Magnet - The only people who do ever socialise with her other than her parents are the eccentric Mad Scientist Myria, her Blood Knight Servant, the mysterious and slightly creepy Roderick and the rather unsettling Alumina.

Saber
Freya's Servant, a mysterious red-haired, red-clothed woman with horns and wings. Initially comes off as a lazy jerk only really interested in fighting, though she does have her redeeming qualities.
 * Action Girlfriend
 * Berserk Button - Two, being referred to as a "Servant", and people harming animals or the environment.
 * Blood Knight
 * Chaotic Neutral - Too corrupt and extremist to be good, too many dog pettings and too strong a Hidden Heart of Gold to be evil. Definitely chaotic.
 * Does Not Like Men
 * Elemental Powers - Has control over all four of the classical elements.
 * Even the Girls Want Her
 * Evil Redhead / Redheaded Hero - Sometimes it's hard to tell which.
 * Expy - Some parts of her are based off Crowley  (although she doesn't really like modern technology).
 * Flaming Sword
 * For the Evulz - She generally enjoys getting on people's nerves and causing chaos because she can, and so she can have fun watching what unfolds. That said, she never does anything too major.
 * Handsome Lech - Female version.
 * Heroic Sociopath - Though she does have her standards.
 * Horny Devils - Has a general demon motif.
 * Hot Chick with a Sword
 * Hot Wings - Though the wings actually aren't on fire themselves.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold

 * Lady Of Wealth And Taste - Wears a Victorian-style suit (usually worn by gentlemen) in her civiilian guise.
 * Ms. Fanservice / Stripperiffic - Both actually averted.
 * Screw Destiny -.
 * Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes - Type 2 and Type 4.
 * What the Hell, Hero?
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? - Anything related to the Christian religion.
 * Worthy Opponent - Takes an interest (perhaps too much interest) in Lancer, due to being the only other female Servant, although dislikes her for her religiousness.

Eleanor Tohsaka
A dark and mysterious woman Freya meets coincidentally soon after the beginning of the Grail War.

Ferdinand Skycastle
The current director of the Clock Tower and leader of the Mage's Association.

Graham Peterson
The Church Overseer for this War, in his prime he was a very high-ranking member of the Burial Agency and was feared by all enemies of the Church. Keywords being In his prime. Nowadays he's just a senile old coot who's gone completely round the bend, to everyone's embarassment.

 * Made of Explodium -
 * Power At a Price - One of the most powerful Servants, yet also one of the most difficult to control. Plus there's the insanely high Mana cost.
