Allies

Alita Forland (アリタ‧フォーランド, Arita Fōrando?) aka Milano (ミラノ, Mirano?)
Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu (Japanese), Monica Rial (English)
Second child of the late King Forland. She escapes from the castle during Akamashi's coup, running into Falis and switching bodies with her due to a near-death experience. In return for helping with the defense of the kingdom, she offers the bounty hunter her body and soul. She later assumes the identity of her former maid Milano, who died ensuring her safe escape during the coup, and assists Falis with running the kingdom.

Falis (ファリス, Farisu?) aka Alita (アリタ, Arita?)
Voiced by: Romi Park (Japanese), Colleen Clinkenbeard (English)
Falis is one of the strongest and the most infamous bounty hunters in the world, even attributed with having slain a dragon. When operating near the border of Forland Kingdom, Princess Alita runs into her, and the two of them end up switching bodies by accident. Now stuck in Alita's body, she makes a deal with Alita to assume her identity and defend her kingdom. Falis' weapon of choice is the ancient katana Himetsuru (姫鶴, ひめつる?, lit. Crane Princess); she sometimes uses a dagger in conjunction with the sword.

Dominikov (ドミニコフ, Dominikofu?)

Pete Armstrong (ピート‧アームストロング, Piito Amusutorongu?)
Voiced by: Akimitsu Takase (Japanese), Ben Phillips (English)
Fellow bounty hunter working for Falis. While he is big, ferocious, and overpowering in hand to hand combat, beneath his purple skin is a gentle soul. Like Dominikov, Pete is a cyborg in the anime version.

Jodo Entolasia (ジョドォ‧エントラシア, Jodō Entorashia?)
Voiced by: Takkou Ishimori (Japanese), R. Bruce Elliott (English)
Butler of Forland Kingdom's royal family. He has a very serious personality and is strict when he is training Alita in the ways of a princess. He continues to serve in this capacity after Alita and Falis switch bodies, in order to aid Falis in acting out her part.

Milano Entolasia (ミラノ‧エントラシア, Mirano Entorashia?)
Voiced by: Mayuko Takahashi (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)
The real Milano, Alita's maid and granddaughter of Jodo. She disguises herself as Princess Alita to buy Alita time to escape from Akamashi's coup d'etat, but is killed while carrying out that role. Alita later assumes Milano's identity.


Enemies

Dr. Akamashi (アカマシ?)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Tsuchida (Japanese), Mark Stoddard (English)
Formerly a scientist working for the late King Forland. He has abused lost technology entrusted to the Forland royal family, and conspires to take over the kingdom in order to gain complete possession over said technology. He seeks to capture Alita alive. Akamashi is an expert in creating artificial lifeforms, be they of flesh and blood or of metal.

Ana (アナ?)
Voiced by: Chiwa Saito (Japanese), Carrie Savage (English)
One of Dr. Akamashi's robotic bodyguards. Ana is built in the shape of a little girl with technology originating in "the Old World". She is extremely aggressive and likes to taunt her opponents, with no regard for human lives except Akamashi's. Her ability and equipment are specialized for close quarter combat.

Yuna (ユナ?)
Voiced by: Chiwa Saito (Japanese), Carrie Savage (English)
One of Dr. Akamashi's robotic bodyguards, built in the same manner as Ana. Contrary to Ana, however, she is timid and shy, albeit with a tendency of going berserk and letting loose her firepower upon everyone in sight if Akamashi is in grave danger. Her use of technology from "the Old World" is more obvious, including an array of precision, long-range weapons such as guns and missiles.

Cecilia (セシリア, Seshiria?)
Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi (Japanese), Wendy Powell (English)
A sorceress who is tracking Alita's every move. Not much about her is known so far, although Falis has an unpleasant memory that involved her.

Prince Kaito aka The Dark Knight (黒い騎士, Kuroi Kishi?)
Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa (Japanese), Patrick Seitz (English)
Prince of Forland, Kaito is Alita's older brother and eight years her senior. She speaks of him fondly, bragging of his swordsmanship as well as his kindness. Prince Kaito left the country to hold peace talks with Forland's western neighbor, the kingdom of Grandel, but no one has heard from him since. When he comes back, it is revealed that he is the man clad in a heavy, dark-colored set of armor that accompanies Cecilia.
