Birthdate: April 4, 767 U.C. Yang Wenli is a commodore, currently serving in the 2nd fleet of the Free Planets Alliance. The son of a merchant and a pacifist at heart, Yang never wanted to be a soldier, his dream was to become a historian, but he didn’t have the money to pay for his tuition and joined the army to get a scholarship. He barely made it through the officer’s academy due to his lack of interest, though he did make a number of friends there including Dusty Attenborough and Jean Robert Lap. He also met music student Jessica Edwards and both him and Lap developed a crush on her, Jessica eventually chose Lap, Yang accepted her decision and they remained friends. Soon after he graduated, Yang became involved in a battle near the friendly planet El Facil, because of his superiors’ incompetence and cowardice, the planet was abandoned while a hostile imperial fleet was on its way. Yang was one of the few officers that remained behind and tried to help the population, thanks to his efforts the planet was evacuated in time. Because of this achievement he became famous as “the hero of El Facil” and “miracle Yang”, forever earning the envy of his peers and the scorn of his superiors. It was at El Facil that Yang first became interested in tactics, but ever since that incident and although he kept rising through the ranks, his novel tactical suggestions were being arbitrarily rejected by hostile superiors. Though disappointed and increasingly cynical with the state of affairs in the Alliance, Yang never stopped trying to do at least the absolute minimum to justify his salary and the pension he was so looking forward to. Miracle Yang, also called “the magician”, is a genius tactician, as well as a competent strategist. Unlike his often proud adversaries, Yang is more than willing to resort to trickery and his only flaw as a commander lies with his inability to go against the orders of his superiors. Yang holds democracy in an extremely high esteem and has a well-defined political philosophy, providing much insight to anyone willing to listen to him. In his personal life he appears to be quite slothful, he is notoriously incompetent with house chores, as well as in all things romantic. After serving on the Patorokolos in the start of the series, Yang eventually gets the battleship Hyperion as he his given command of the 13th fleet, and this becomes his flagship during the coming conflicts.

Kazuhara's little sister that believes in the mystical arts. She uses spells and summoning to get things that she wants, with the assistance of her two body guards Hayate and Kosame. She listens to a fortune and discovers that she has a destined future with Yukinari. She tries ever so hard to steal Yukinari's heart.
The younger of the twin Harada sisters, Risa is initially the object of Daisuke's affection; however, she doesn't show the same feelings towards Daisuke as he does for her considering the fact that she feels that he is too normal and only thinks of him as a best friend since he's very kind and nice to her and she can rely on him for anything (to which she uses throughout most of the series). She is a rather naive young girl. Risa starts to develop a crush, then an obsession, with Dark upon seeing his attempt to steal an artwork broadcast over the news claiming that he is the mysterious person whom she is destined to be with. There is an ongoing sisterly rivalry between her and Riku. Compared to her sister she seems more innocent and clumsier and can be seen as your typical "girly-girl" though shows the same stubbornness, tenacity, and kindness as Riku. She would much rather prefer fashion and relationships than to physical activities. In terms of physical features her hair is much longer and she has a "softer voice," apart from that the two can't be distinguished (shown in episode 5 of the anime when the two switch places so Risa can get out of chopping cabbage as a form of after school punishment). Risa obsessively pursues Dark, coming up with intricate schemes and plans to make him go out with her, some of which eventually work. There's no doubt that she is quite clever and very persistent. Later on, however, Dark tells her that the two of them cannot see each other anymore. Near the end of the anime, subtle signs of a relationship between Risa and Satoshi start to show. (example: he places her on a park bench and covers her body with his jacket after she fell unconscious during their struggles with Krad. She then wakes up only to find the jacket and a single white feather which fell from it. Although not knowing who the jacket and feather belongs to, she can be seen treasuring it). In the manga this is more apparent, shown through small occurrences (example: he saves her when she fell off a building, when Daisuke saves her from drowning he shows concern and touches a lock of her hair). As the series progresses, Risa breaks out of being a naive little girl and develops into a more mature young lady.
Risa Mizuno is a girl Takaki met in Tokyo. They met a couple of times due to their work and started going out after a while. In the movie, Risa and Takaki were together for awhile and Risa started sending text messages to him, inviting him to hang out, but Takaki did not reply back since he still has feelings for Akari. When Akari moved on and got married, Takaki tried to move on and started dating Risa Mizuno, but eventually broke up. Risa's background story is explored in more depth in the manga and light novel. Apparently she and Takaki were dating for more than four years. They went on several trips and dates together; but besides from her attempts to move forward with their relationship, they stayed the same. This becomes explicit when she invites Takaki to meet her parents and he turns her down. He would use an excuses, but she thinks he was avoiding her because she tried to rush their relationship. Later on, Takaki admits that he had commitment issues due to his past since he really believed someday he would be together Akari again, so he couldn't truly love anybody else. Afterwards, Risa decides to break up with him and move on with her life. In chapter 9, after breaking up with him, she says, "I hope we meet again, in some new way, as new people, and that something new starts." (Source: xbobx, AkatsukiUlquiora)
