The following is a list of major characters of the Sega role-playing video game series Valkyria and its related media.
The characters of the Valkyria Chronicles games were designed by Raita Honjou. For Valkyria Chronicles, the developers aimed for a "rustic" look due to the game's use of the PlayStation 3's CANVAS engine. During the early development process, Raita based his designs more directly on examples from World War II, however they proved to be too modern for what the developers wanted to achieve. Thus, Raita aimed for a motif closer to that found in World War I, first creating Alicia and Welkin's concept illustrations and using them as a basis for the rest of the Gallian cast. World War II influence can still be seen in the designs of Imperial characters such as Gregor, whose uniform is heavily based on German officers' uniforms from that period.
Three characters from the video game Skies of Arcadia make cameo appearances in the game: Vyse and Aika can be recruited as playable characters, Shocktrooper and Scout respectively. The Medic of Squad 7 is Fina, but it's not stated in her Personnel file until the game is completed.
All three appear as an unlockable sicker in Valkyria Chronicles 2 and can be recruited as hidden, unlockable characters in Valkyria Chronicles 3.
Fina makes a cameo appearance as Squad 7's medic in the anime while Vyse makes a cameo appearance as a member of Squad 7 in the second episode of Valkyria Chronicles 3's OVA.
The main antagonists of Valkyria Chronicles II, the Gallian Revolutionary Army (GRA) is a rebel force who intends to overthrow the Gallian government, taking advantage of lingering anti-Darcsen sentiment after Archduchess Cordelia's revelation of being a Darcsen herself. With the Regular Army still recuperating from the failed Imperial invasion two years before and the Militia disbanded, the cadets from Landseal Academy, most notably Class G, are usually summoned to fight them.
Emilia Percival from Phantasy Star Portable 2 is available as a melee class secret character. However, in order to obtain her, the player must have a save file PSP2 on the PSP memory stick. Doing so also unlocks access to extra tank customization stickers and two special missions.
