Tales of the Rays info

I wanna try to keep track of the new Kharlan heroes canon we got from Tales of the Rays (rip, friend) for easy reference.

• Mithos fought all of the Summon Spirits by himself. (Mithos' first skit[*])

• Martel is very curious and tends to stick her nose into other people's business which gets them all in trouble (Casino Midnight, Happy Happening Wedding, Advent of Yggdrasill)

• Yuan was a big flirt before he fell for Martel (Happy Happening Wedding)

• Yuan always had a hard time telling Martel how he feels about her[†] during the Kharlan era and was never able to swear his true love out loud. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree, Yuan's profile)

• Not from Rays, but on that note, Yuan dislikes strong emotions. The more angry he gets, the more frustrated he is about being angry. Martel taught him to take a deep breath and hold it for a second to calm down. (Kratos novel)

• Martel and Mithos have crazy good luck at gambling (Casino Midnight, Happy Happening Wedding)

• Martel reached a point when she had just resigned herself to die from Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium[‡]. That was when Yuan swore to always protect her and gave her the engagement ring. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree)

• Yuan and Martel indeed each have an engagement ring. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree)

• Martel refers to times she's hated the world or wished it would be destroyed. But she loves it more. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree)

• Martel is a klutz, but not to the weapon of mass destruction level Colette is. Or she's never made a hole in a wall, at least. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree, Raine's second skit, Martel's first skit, Happy Happening Wedding)

• Yuan always agrees with whatever Martel wants to do. (Tales of Fandom 2, Yuan's first skit[*], Advent of Yggdrasill)

• Martel trusted Kratos the most and would usually consult with him when it was an important matter. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree)

• Martel thinks a cute thing about Yuan is that it's very easy for his emotions get so strong that everyone can tell how he's feeling even if he doesn't say it.[§] (Happy Happening Wedding)

• According to Mithos, Martel has always had weird taste in men, excluding Kratos. (Happy Happening Wedding)

• AND I swear I don't have a problem with this ship Martel called Yuan her "cute dojikko/awkwardly adorable husband" on a login screen. (Happy Happening Wedding)

• Also Martel seems to find being totally tsundere cute because it's like the past Yuan.[§] (Raine's second skit)

• Martel seems to be a bit of a troll like Kharlan Mithos was. She and Colette start conspiring to see if they can make Mithos fall through a wall, and when Mithos talks about punishing Yuan if he ever cheats on her, she says she'll help him. (Casino Midnight, Martel's first skit, Happy Happening Wedding)

• Yuan says he wants to protect Martel's beautiful heart that strives to never give in to whatever is trying to undermine it. (Wandering Spirit of the Great Tree)

• Sometimes Martel makes surprise mistakes or says things that are out of the ordinary. (Tales of Fandom 2, Martel's profile, Happy Happening Wedding, Martel's third skit)

• Mithos was a crybaby when he was young. (Genis' first skit[*])

• Martel is younger than 35, "about the same age" as Raine[§]. (Casino Midnight, Raine's second skit)

• Martel thinks Yuan has good taste.[§] (Martel's third skit)

• If only because both of the profiles I linked got this part wrong in opposite ways, I will note that Ix's segment says Mithos basically told him that Yuan tends to fail/screw up at the very last moment. He's not a loose canon and he does try to see things through.

• Mithos called Yuan a jellyfish the first time someone asked who he was and now everyone outside of Symphonia calls him that. I KNOW IT'S NOT A HISTORY FACT, IT'S JUST FUNNY.

Footnotes:
*: when the source is "Tales of the Rays English Project" or "Seine", be warned that they tend to make really weird errors or changes in places where they shouldn't.
: There's an "ai" vs. "suki" thing going on, as they mean different types of love because Japan is smart like that. One of the apps I've run is a bit different than what the adjoined translation says, hence my interpretation not completely matching it because it makes more sense to me. I think proposing falls under expressing your feelings to some degree...
: The translation on one of the YouTube videos says the Angel Toxicosis, but from using translate apps and basic logic, it's actually that illness.
§: My only source for this is running screencaps through translation apps myself so some details may turn out to be wrong and will be edited if necessary.
