Roland is the 48-year-old president of a large country in Ichi no Kuni (the series' version of the real world), but appears as a 20-year-old in Ni no Kuni, while Tani is the adopted daughter of the chief of a sky pirate gang. Finally, Higgledies are small elemental spirits that can only be seen by the pure-hearted. They contribute in battle and in letting players travel to places they would not otherwise be able to reach.
