Name: Mink
Age: 17
Mink
Daughter of Rouce the Red Lightning and Mana, a red dragon, and the star of Dragon Half. She is a typical teenager, aside from being half-dragon. She can fly with wings that appear when needed, can breathe fire, and is overall very strong and resistant to most forms of damage. She also seems to be jinxed, bringing all sorts of misfortunes to herself and anyone around her - this tendency earns her much enmity. Mink is also infatuated with d**k Saucer, the handsome dragonslayer/popstar. In a bid for his recognition, she is searching for the legendary People Potion, which would make her fully human. While questing, slain enemies provide her a source of food.
Rouce the Red Lightning
Mink's father, who was at one time one of the greatest knights in the kingdom. Rouce fell in love with and married Mana, a red dragon that the king had originally sent him to slay. He subsequently retired from the knight business, and the couple now lives in a quiet valley where they raise their daughter Mink. Occasionally, he and Mana get into an argument which Mink tries to defuse. Rouce disapproves of Mink's crush on d**k Saucer. Though he wishes for his daughter's respect, she has likened him to "yesterday's garbage".
Mana
Mink's mother. As a red dragon, Mana has the ability to change her form (in the manga, she does so when angry). As a result, she can change her form into a beautiful blonde woman; the only evidence that she is a dragon is her small fan-like dragon ears. She also acts as a moderating force to Rouce's vagaries
Lufa
Mink's best friend, she is an elf who fights using a lightning cane but has terrible accuracy. She also has superb healing powers, and may have a crush on Mink.
Pia
A young dwarf girl who is friends with Mink, Lufa and Mappy. Pia constantly wears body armor, due to her overly-protective parents.
Pia's pet mouse. Mappy acts as Pia's bodyguard while traveling, and is able to transform to the size of a grizzly bear at will. This tends to deter Lufa from whacking Pia when annoyed, as Mappy may whack Lufa in return. In the anime he is present from the beginning whereas in the manga he appears much later.
Mappy's name may well be a reference to the video game Mappy by Namco. Additionally, Roshi's name may come from another video game character, Yoshi. It may also be a reference to the Dragonball character Master Roshi.
