This article is about the characters found in the anime Kiddy Grade.
Eclair
Éclair (French masculine name, meaning lightning) - GOTT ES Member (G class), apparent age 16, partner to Lumiere. Special ability: "Power".
Eclair is the older out of her and her partner Lumiere. Utilizing superhuman strength and speed and her "Rouge Whip" to defeat her enemies, Eclair is one of the most powerful members of GOTT. She likes to have a lot of fun in her work, often dressing up in different costumes on her missions. (Much to Lumiere's dismay) Eclair also likes to surprise her enemies, usually calling out "Ta-da!" when she arrives. Although Eclair is the more hot-headed member, willing to get her hands dirty and head into a fight without hesitation, she is also a very kind and caring person, willing to help friend and stranger alike. However, this gets her into trouble later in the story. Her abilities can be hard to control, which causes problems in day-to-day life so she uses a self-hypnotic suggestion to restrict her powers. This restriction is released by the act of putting on lipstick, although she has been known to substitute her own blood in extreme circumstances.
Lumiere
Lumière (French for light) - GOTT ES Member (C/G class), apparent age 10, partner to Eclair. C-Class ability: "Puppet", G-Class ability: "Particle".
Although Lumiere is much younger than her partner, she is the more mature and level-headed person of the duo. Unlike Eclair, she relies more on logic and planning to get ahead and often scolds Eclair in a motherly manner to be "more elegant" in her work. Lumiere also enjoys a lot of the finer things in life such as wine, opera, and the arts. She uses the "puppet" ability to hack into and control many different kinds of computers and machinery. Although Lumiere operates more on logic than emotion, she cares deeply for her partner Eclair.
Eclipse
Eclipse - Executive Chief of the GOTT Head Office, Aineias.
Eclipse is the head chief of GOTT, mostly sending the different ES Members on their missions. She is very intelligent, level-headed and calm in her duties, and is admired by Eclair. However, she nevers really speaks her mind or shows emotion. Quite often, she is forced to carry out the most harshest orders in her work. Although she is in charge of GOTT, the higher powers often keep her under their thumb.
Mercredi
Mercredi (French for Wednesday) - apparent age 13, Private Secretary to Eclipse.
Mercredi can be considered to be Eclipse's "right-hand girl". She is her trusted and reliable secretary, and excels in much of her work. She is extremely talented and data gathering and her abilities almost rival a computer. The job also gives her time to hang out with a lot of the ES Members and she's a friend of Eclair and Lumiere. Mercredi also excels at making tea, and usually fixes a batch for Eclair and Lumiere before each of their missions.
Armbrust
Armbrust (German for crossbow) - apparent age 20, GU Inspector.
Armbrust is an Inspector and Auditor for the Global Union who is sent to observe Eclair and Lumiere in each of their missions. Armbrust is calm and collected, although a bit on the shady side too. A veritable ladies' man, he often flirts with the ladies (and sometimes with Eclair). However, he is never seen without his mysterious briefcase, which seems to have its own powers. Despite his efforts and good intentions, Armbrust is often the target of Eclair's distrust. Mis-translated as Armblast for the English dub, an error that was caught too late to be corrected although it is spelt correctly in the English subtitled version.
Alv
Alv (Nordic for Elf) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 20, partner to Dvergr. Special abilities: "Absorb" and "Reflex".
While she is older than the other ES Members, Alv's abilities is said to be second in her ranking among the ES Force. She has the ability to absorb any type of energy along with her partner Dvergr. Often emotionally unstable and at odds with her fellow ES Members, Alv usually finds the harshest methods of completing her missions. Her loyalty with GOTT seems rather questionable also. Out of all the ES Members, Alv isn't a person to turn your back on.
Dvergr
Dvergr (Nordic for Dwarf) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 19, partner to and mother of Alv. Special abilities: "Absorb", "Reflex", and "Transmission"
Dvergr is Alv's partner. She also has the "absorb" ability, but when put together with Alv, they create feedback similar to a microphone and cause everything in their area to stop. Most of the time, she is silent and usually obeys Alv's orders with no objection at all. She seems to have no will of her own, and her partnership with Alv seems to represent something other than friendship and trust.
Tweedledee
Tweedledee (From Lewis Carrol's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 16, partner and twin of Tweedledum. Special ability: "Strom" (German, river, or in this case "Electricity"), joint ability: "Windstoß" (German, gust of wind).
The sister of her partner Tweedledum, Tweedledee has a fierce and commanding presence, (especially with her brother) and values loyalty above all else. She is an "S Class" ES member rivaling Alv and Dvergr. Tweedledee has the ability to control electricity and can create an effect similar to Lumiere's power. She often scolds her brother for calling her "sister" during their work. Tweedledee also has a strong sense of pride. While she doesn't agree with Eclipse's secretive nature towards the ES Members, she still trusts her. She also seems to have a deep bond with Lumiere, probably because of their similar abilities.
Tweedledum
Tweedledum (From Lewis Carrol's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 16, partner and twin of Tweedledee. Special ability: "Magnetfeld" (German, magnetic field), joint ability: "Windstoß" (German, gust of wind).
The brother and partner of Tweedledee, Tweedledum is fiercely loyal to his sister. However, he isn't really sociable with anyone else other than her either. Although he doesn't mean to offend, Tweedledum doesn't really show interest in anyone else other than her. Tweedledum has the ability to control the magnetic fields around him, combining with Tweedledee to create a powerful gravitational force. Because of their extremely strong bond, Tweedledum seems jealous when his sister shows interest in Lumiere.
Viola
Viola (From Shakespeare's Twelfth Night) - GOTT ES Member (C Class), apparent age 9, partner to Cesario. Special ability: "Calamity".
The youngest member of the ES Force, Viola is one of the more precocious members. She also seems to be the main voice of her partnership with Cesario. She often gives the other ES Members nicknames. Viola is also a "C Class" member, although a bit above Eclair and Lumiere's rank. Her power "Calamity", which allows her to alter matter at the molecular level, requires a great deal of energy which is supplied by Cesario's ability so can only be used when she is in physical contact with him. Viola is also often seen with a cute stuffed animal named Dragon Papi.
Cesario
Cesario (From Shakespeare's Twelfth Night) - GOTT ES Member (C Class), apparent age 18, partner to Viola. Special ability: "Driver".
Cesario is the older partner of Viola. He is seen to be a mostly silent person, almost never speaking out loud. Instead, he is usually seen communicating to Viola by whispering in her ear. Cesario seems to prefer communicating with body language instead of voice. He is often an indecisive person, usually on the losing side of his arguments with Viola. His power, "Driver", has no use on its own but when in contact with Viola, it serves as a source of energy for her ability.
Un-ou
Un-ou (Japanese/Sanskrit, 吽王, one of the two Buddhist Deva Kings) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 14, partner to A-ou. Special ability: "Amazing".
A mostly cynical and impulsive person, Un-ou enjoys the danger that comes with his job. He and A-ou were formerly mercenaries who were constantly at odds with Eclair and Lumiere. Hardened by his past as a mercenary, Un-ou doesn't seem to agree with the values held by the GOTT, but merely as an outlet from their past rivalries with Eclair and Lumiere. His relationship with Eclair is especially competitive. Un-ou's "Amazing" ability allows him to listen to the various life energies which allow them to track down their enemies.
A-ou
A-ou (Japanese/Sanskrit, 阿王, one of the two Buddhist Deva Kings) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 19, partner to Un-ou. Special ability: "Amplifier".
The older and more stoic member of the Duo, A-ou (unlike his partner) has a stronger sense of honor and justice. He is also more of a pacifist and he often speaks in a profound and meaningful manner, giving him a rather preachy presence among other people. He and Un-ou have has a long and eventful past together during their days as mercenaries. However, despite their differences, the two have forged a strong bond as a team. "Amplifier" give him the ability to improve his visual perception ten-fold. He also uses the energy seen by Un-ou to increase the power of his physical attacks.
Sinistra
Sinistra (Latin for left) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), apparent age 18, partner to Dextra. Special ability: "Whenever".
Among this handsome duo of ES Members, Sinistra appears to be the silent type, but he's really a sociable person. He is also very chivalrous. Whenever he's in battle, he is calm, collected and fearless.
Dextera
Dextera (Latin for right) - GOTT ES Member (S Class), partner to Sinistra. Special ability: "Anywhere".
Dextera has a reputation for being the victor of numerous battles in the past. He also has strong leadership characteristics. The right hand man of Eclipse, he has a long period of respect among the GOTT. The abilities of both him and Sinistra seem to be a mystery. However, both have plenty of strength and speed.
Liquide Cole
Liquide "Liquiy" Cole - (French for liquid) Receptionist, GOTT Head Office, Aineias.
Liquiy (Ricki in the English version) is a GOTT receptionist who works (and is friends with) Eclair and Lumiere at the front gate of GOTT Headquarters. She often hangs out with Eclair outside of work and is there for her whenever she needs help.
Bonita Gerall
Bonita Gerall - Receptionist, GOTT Head Office, Aineias.
Another GOTT receptionist who works with Liquiy, Eclair and Lumiere.
Caprice
Caprice (Italian name) - Waitress at Fleur's Café, Aineias.
A friend of Eclair who works as a waitress at Fleur's Cafe. Not seen very often during the series, but it's implied that they've also had a long friendship.
Padushka
Mrs Padushka (pseudo-Russian name, probably derived from podushka, "pillow") - GOTT SO-Member, Aineias.
Another friend of Eclair and an SO member of GOTT. Mrs. Padushka retires from the GOTT in order to devote her time to family life with her husband, Gluck. She also gave birth to a baby girl, which she names after Éclair. However, she never learned about Eclair being an ES member until she left GOTT.
Chevalier d'Autriche
Chevalier d'Autriche (French name, lit. Knight of Austria) - 56, Secretary General of the GOTT and head of the GU Economic Dept
Depite the fact that he's a Nouvlesse, Chevalier is a key figure to Eclair's past and her forgotten former lives. In his lifetime, he has never forgotten Eclair and is always willing to help her. He worked his way up to his current position all for Eclair's sake. (It is revealed late in the show that Chevalier is Eclair's adopted son.)
