[edit] Characters
Captain Nanoha Takamachi
Seiyu: Yukari Tamura
An experienced combat instructor who, with her intelligent device Raising Heart (sometimes called Raging Heart due to the Japanese pronunciation of raising) and her best friends, has done great work for the TSAB. Takamachi, commander of the Forward Stars Squad of Lost Property Riot Force 6, despite her sweet and optimistic personality, is an S+ (restricted to AA for routine operations in Lost Property Riot Force 6 due to bureaucratic limitations) rank mage (the third-highest possible ranking) who will use force to subdue someone if absolutely necessary. She is also very strick with her training with her young recruits in order not to let what happen to her to happen to the others. She also try her best not to tired out all of them. She will also not forgive those who overdid it.
Investigator Fate T. Harlaown
Seiyu: Nana Mizuki
Fate T. Harlaown is the commander of the Riot Force 6's Forward Lightning Squad and Nanoha's longtime best friend. She is also ranked S+ (restricted to about 2 ranks down for routine operations in Lost Property Riot Force 6 due to bureaucratic limitations), the third highest mage ranking. After being adopted by Lindy Harlaown, she changed her last name.
Lieutenant Colonel Hayate Yagami
Seiyu: Kana Uedai
Hayate is a quiet and caring young woman who possesses one of the most fearsome Lost Logia that the universe has ever known. Ranked SS (restricted to about A for routine operations in Lost Property Riot Force 6 due to bureaucratic limitations), the second highest rank that a mage can attain (with SSS as the highest possible rank), she has a vast expanse of power that even the TSAB has trouble handling after ten years in the service. Lieutenant Colonel Yagami is the commanding officer of Riot Force 6, which she started, and is aided by Reinforce II, her unison device.
Private Subaru Nakajima
Seiyu: Chiwa Saito
A young woman who appears to use the modern-Belka magic system and currently achieved Rank B, which is that of an average mage. Her intelligent device, Mach Caliber, is a pair of roller blades. She also possesses a second device, Revolver Knuckle, an armed device which is also equipped with a Cartridge System. The Revolver Knuckle once belonged to Subaru's mother, and comes in a pair, with Subaru's sister, Ginga, possessing the Revolver Knuckle for the left hand. Subaru was saved by Nanoha four years ago in a Lost Logia incident at an airport on Midchilda, and it was this incident that inspired her to join the Armed Forces. Working under Nanoha as front attacker of the Stars Squad, she greatly idolizes her commander. Subaru is a bit naive about the military world -- for example, she didn't know about limiters or what a Lost Logia was -- which allows for exposition to both new viewers and those that have not read the manga.
Private Teana Lanster
Seiyu: Mai Nakahara
Subaru's pigtailed roommate. Her handgun-like device, Cross Mirage, uses a Cartridge System, and is considered a non-standard device, although she is schooled in the Mid-Childa magic system. The direction of the magic bullets that Cross Mirage fires can also be controlled by Teana. Teana is an orphan whom lost her parents when she was little, and was raised by her older brother ever since, though he is now dead. Teana met Subaru and were assigned roommates/partners in the military academy, and had been paired up ever since. Though she aspires to become a great Ground Combat Mage, her dream is to one day be able to take to the skies as a Sky Combat Mage. This feat will be very difficult for her because her magic ranking is considered too low and would make flight magic difficult. However, Teana is able to use magic to create illusions which is considered to be rare. This B-rated mage takes on the role of centre guard in the Stars Squad, with Nanoha as well.
Private Caro Ru Lushe
Seiyu: Mikako Takahashi
A pink-haired little girl with jewels on her gloves that are actually a new type of device, a "Boost Device" named Kerykeion. Though she is not proficient in attack magics, she is good at boost magics and can perform the unique summon magics. Her unique talent as a dragon summoner was frightening to the Ru Lushe clan, by which she was raised, and they banished her from their native land of Arzus. On the other extreme, the TSAB almost refused her because, though her talent was great, her skills were not refined and could not be controlled. However, Fate T. Harlaown took her on herself. Caro appears to have a slight romantic interest in Erio. She is currently a Rank C mage, and is assigned to the Lightning Squad as fullback.
Private Erio Mondial
Seiyu: Marina Inoue
A boy whom Fate takes in and cares for, and the guard wing of the Lightning Squad. He uses an armed device named Strada. It is a spear (electricity attribute), similar to Signum's sword (flare attribute). He uses the modern-Belka magic system, but is also able to perform some Mid-Childa mobile magics like Sonic Move as learn from Fate. Erio was adopted by Lindy Harlaown four years prior to StrikerS, as Fate was legally too young to do so. He is being monitored by the villain,Doctor Jail Scaglietti, as a creation of "Project F", which may be related to the "Project Fate" that created the character of the same name. He is currently a rank B mage and was also said to be an artificial human. Erio shows signs of a romantic interest in Caro.
