Eternal Sonata/Characters

Polka
A young girl from Tenuto Village, whose terminal illness means she has the ability to heal others with magic. Despite being persecuted for possessing magic, she encounters Frederic and, after meeting him, resolves to go to Forte to ask why Floral Power is taxed so high but not Mineral Powder, not realizing just how involved in the world's problems she will become.
 * Age: 14 years
 * Origin: Tenuto
 * Weapon: Umbrellas

Allegretto
A street rat living in Ritardando with his friend, Beat, he steals food for the starving children of the town. After contemplating the injustice of the high taxes placed on everything (except Mineral Powder), he resolves to go to Forte to learn the reason.
 * Age: 16 years
 * Origin: Ritardando
 * Weapon: Swords

Beat
An orphaned kid who starts working with Allegretto, he seems to have a little trouble with names (despite his claims otherwise). He is also never without the camera he got from his late father. ''Note: Beat can attack from a distance because of his gun. Beat's distance attacks are auto-aiming.''
 * Age: 8 years
 * Origin: Ritardando
 * Weapon: Guns

Frederic
As he lies dying of tuberculosis in the real world, Frederic Chopin dreams of the world in which Eternal Sonata takes place. He encounters Polka, who he later reveals has a remarkable resemblance to someone he knew. Throughout the journey, Frederic asks himself his purpose for being in the dream world. Like Polka, he has the gift of magic.
 * Age: 39 years
 * Origin: The outside world
 * Weapon: Batons

Viola
A plain-spoken goat herder from the Chorus Plains, she and her pet Arco join the group seeking to put a stop to the madness caused by Forte after people mutated by Mineral Powder attack her home. ''Note: Viola can attack from a distance because of her bow. Viola's distance attacks require initial manual aiming (holding Attack until the reticle is on target, then releasing).''
 * Age: 26 years
 * Origin: Chorus Plains
 * Weapon: Bows

Salsa
One of the twin guardians of Agogo Forest, the sassy Salsa traveled to Forte to demand they stop mining Mt. Rock, only to be thrown in jail and rescued by Allegretto and company. Salsa has a great fondness for hats.

One of Jazz's lieutenants in Andantino, she and Jazz have known each other for years. Her unique dress is because she is a martial artist.
