Trivia[]
Lore[]
In a world far, far away…
A fierce war waged between the free races and those of darkness.
These ferocious foes made it difficult for life to thrive outside of the cities protected by mana-core crystals.
Adventurer guilds, led by kind and brave souls, often filled the gaps in defense when a kingdom’s forces were simply stretched too thin. One such guild was Atlas, a new adventuring guild headquartered in the kingdom of Elysia’s capital, Eden.
Led by the twin adventurers Yuki and Yuna Astrea, this guild was meant to be nothing more than one of the many that defended Elysia’s lands. However, fate would have it differently…
The goddess of the stars, Selene, foresaw that humanity would soon battle against a terrifying ancient evil of old who was readying its armies to invade the entire world. She selected Yuki and Yuna to become her Astral Guardians, beings capable of crossing worlds and stars alike.
Their quest?
To collect mana from a new world called Earth in order to restore the goddess to her full power. This would allow her blessings to give rise to more empowered Astral Guardians to defeat evil once and for all.[4][5]
- The duo are the guildmasters of the Atlas guild.
- Yuki is an Astral Knight. Yuna is an Astral Sage.
- On the guild's quest board, there are wanted posters for Yuku and Tuna, a reference to a popular misspelling of Yuki and Yuna.[6]
- Yuki's blue hair is actually dyed. Her natural hair color is pink, the same as Yuna's.[6]
Miscellaneous[]
- Yuki and Yuna are huge fans of Haven-X members.[7]
- The last name "Astrea" is from Reinhard van Astrea from Re:Zero.
- Yuki and Yuna's main character designs are inspired by Symphogear characters Tsubasa Kazanari and Maria Cadenzavna Eve, respectively.
