Ash

Ash was originally a Chroma alongside Marona's parents, and was also killed when they were. However, Haze (Marona's father) used his final burst of power to grant Ash immortality as a Phantom. Now trapped between life and death, he serves as Marona's guardian throughout the game. During the main storyline, he checks Marona's mail every day and disposes of any insulting mail aimed at her due to her "possessed" status. He and Marona travel to various regions during the game, helping those in need, with Ash acting as Marona's advisor as well as the head of her Phantom fighting force. When the player visits the Isle of Healing Waters, Ash come face-to-face with his murderer, a Wraith under Sulphur's service. Later in the game, his secret pertaining to the insulting mail is revealed, but Marona's faith in him does not waver. Near the end of the game, he fights the Wraith one last time, killing it for good. He then fights and helps Marona defeat Sulphur.
