Yuuki (Voice: Aoi Yuuki)
PR TIMES- Role: ROGUE
An extremely skilled player who was hailed as the Absolute Sword in ALO.
Although she was believed to have passed away due to illness, the runaway of Galaxia caused her to be revived in the virtual world, where she is reunited with Asuna, her irreplaceable best friend.
(Translated from Japanese)
PR TIMES
She is a high-risk, high-return attacker who fights by sacrificing her own HP.
By combining her ability to increase attack power as her HP decreases with self-damage skills, she can unleash overwhelming firepower.
Additionally, since she can attack from the sky by flying, players can utilize a variety of aerial attacks in combat.
Klein (Voice: Hiroaki Hirata)
PR TIMES- Role: FIGHTER
A sword user who served as the leader of the Fuurinkazan Guild in SAO, and a friend of Kirito, despite the age difference.

(Translated from Japanese)
PR TIMES
He is an all-rounder character who can fight flexibly by switching stances.
He can freely switch between the four stances of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, and depending on the stance, he can gain different benefits such as automatic HP recovery and increased attack power.
Silica (Voice: Rina Hidaka)
PR TIMES- Role: SUPPORT
A Beast Tamer accompanied by the small dragon Pina, and a girl who has held feelings for Kirito since the SAO era.
In this work, she is summoned into the mixed virtual world along with Pina.
(Translated from Japanese)
PR TIMES
She is a Support Beast Tamer who assists allies through coordination with Pina.
She excels at a fighting style that combines fast aerial and dagger attacks with coordination from Pina.
Pina acts semi-automatically based on Silica's instructions and performs recovery and support for herself and allies, as well as offensive actions against enemies.
Lisbeth (Voice: Ayahi Takagaki)
PR TIMES- Role: FIGHTER
With a bright and caring personality, she is Asuna's best friend since the SAO era.
As a first-class blacksmith, her skill will be demonstrated fully even in the world disturbed by Galaxia.
(Translated from Japanese)
PR TIMES
She is a Master Smith who fights using a mace and lightning magic.
She provides both offense and support with her ability to strengthen her own and her allies' weapons during combat.
