- Support. It is not notable outside of the serie and already having a list to enumerate the character would be plenty enough. Needs to have better referencing if this is kept too. Lincher 14:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

In this update, besides the obligatory cleanup, I chose to rectify the name romanization confusion. You may notice that Aires Blue is now Airs Blue and that Neeya is now Neya. Googling "aires blue" ryvius yields 505 results; "airs blue" ryvius yields 1,290. By the same token, neeya ryvius gives 917 results and neya ryvius gives 1,050. Although I remain iffy about Fina/Faina (more on that below), I'll leave it alone for now.
I'm not trying to be a devil's advocate or a vandal. I admit that the "Google test" is a pretty convoluted way of backing things up, but it was the best I could find at the time. You are certainly welcome to constructively dispute this decision, and if you can provide any solid, official evidence that I'm in error, by all means feel free to show it. However, with many anime series, the original creators/companies do not provide official romanizations for names of characters/things/etc. (This problem has dogged Gundam series and fans for years, and it wasn't until about the 2000s or so that Sunrise finally decided upon spellings like Zaku, Char Aznable, and Zeon!) Merchandise packaging adds to the confusion because, in lieu of an official spelling, the toymakers will just use whatever spelling they please. Therefore, commonly agreed-upon romanizations are most often determined by a) an official overseas distributor or b) which camps of fans bellow the loudest. Please take this into consideration before launching fireballs. Tony Myers 03:34, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
