Escaflowne The Movie Characters

Here are some of the Characters that  can be seen in the movie. A lot of characters in the series appear in the movie though I only put those that play much role in the story. The art seemed different in a way, the theme is much darker compared from the anime series. But nonetheless it's detail is what makes it unique.

Hitomi Kanzaki

Hitomi in the movie is very different from the anime series. She becomes very pessimistic in life that she thinks her existence means nothing in the world. If in the anime series she's an athlete, this time she quits it. She still remains the quiet and shy Hitomi, she thinks that if she died. the world shall go on without a care of her disappearance but that's because of the emptiness she feels of being alone where no one understands her grief, but after she meets Van all of that changes.

Van Fanel

He still remains the Prince of Fanelia but because of the total destruction of his Kingdom he seeks revenge with the help of Allen and the others. He still remains very hot tempered but his sword mastery skills remain deadly. He is able to wield magic as he has pure blood of a 'Dragon'. He also feels the same emptiness that Hitomi feels and to fill that emptiness he sustains himself through fighting.

Folken Fanel

Older brother of Van. Just like the series he is the main antagonist of the game. He is the one who invites Hitomi( Goddess of Wings as he calls her) to the Mystic Moon. His main purpose is the destruction of the world even if it means his end as well. He seeks help from this girl Sora to forsee the future.

Allen Schezar

He plays the leader of the group 'Abaharaki' they are the surviving people that was destroyed by the Black Dragon Clan. He still remains a bishie!! His swordsmanship remains unsurpassed but his appearance is very rare in the movie as his role is kinda minor.

Princess Millerna

She still remains a princess and travels along with Allen. Her personality changes from a reserved young lady to an aggressive Millerna. Her appearance and clothing also changes. She also plays a minor role in the movie.

Merle

Just like the series she's the childhood friend of Van. She displays the same kind of attitude just like in the series. She remains persistent and nosy when it comes to things that involve Van. She remains very supportive to Van at all times

Yukari

Best friend of Hitomi just like in the series. She sees that Hitomi feels sad and bored in life so she encourages Hitomi to engage in some school activities.

Sora

The only remaining race that can see the future she aids Folken to locate the Goddess of Wings. She pities Folken's existence yet remains by his side until his death.

Dilandau

He still remains as Van's archenemy, he can wield magic since he also has Dragon blood but one not as pure as Van's blood. Just like the series he has undergone a series of brutal experiments just to be stronger.
