Characters
- Tina Lawter
- A professional cat burglar, Tina gets involved with the kingdom's princess Rita when she breaks into the royal palace to steal a golden statue. Tina is very skilled with her pistols, but prefers not to kill people. She has suggested that Rita hire her as a bodyguard, and the two of them have set out for the kingdom of Greedom.
- Rita Ciol
- A princess in the kingdom of Wellber. She kills the Sangatras kingdom's prince, her betrothed who was attempting to rape her, and flees the palace together with Tina. To prevent a war with Sangatras, Rita's only hope is to travel to the kingdom of Greedom on a secret diplomatic mission. Surprisingly, for a sheltered princess, Rita is quite proficient in hand-to-hand combat.
- Girano do Voljurac
- A highly mobile personal tank with an advanced A.I. Serving as a transportation vehicle in lieu of a horse for Rita, Girano refuses to let commoners such as Tina mount him.
