Summary
TheStellar Bladecast is filled with colorful characters, both among the main party and also in the city of Xion, where each merchant and NPC has their own stories to tell. With such an ensemble cast, it is easy to pair them up with the classic personality traits of the Zodiac Signs.
If we assign the cast their own sign, you might wonder who among these characters shares your own sign and quirks, and the answer might surprise you. Will you be closer to the enigmatic Adam, the heroic EVE, or the glorified talking balloon known as D1G-g2r?
12Aries - Raven
She Sees EVE As A Competitor
When you first hear the recordings made by Raven, she sounds like a stoic character, sacrificing a lot in the pursuit of knowledge. You might wonder how that exactly equates to Aries, but what defines Raven isn’t how she reacts towards Mother Sphere, but rather how she feels about Adam.
You see, a lot of what Raven does is to be Adam’s number one, to be the best candidate in the eyes of the Elder. This makes Raven show the darkest nature of Aries, doingunspeakable horrors to EVE, so she can be the only “angel” standing.
11Taurus - Kasim
Unleash The Potential
Kasim represents both the frivolous and warm side of Taurus, but you’ll only notice that if you look beneath the surface. He’s sincere to a fault, to the point where your first interaction with him can make him seem mean-spirited when what he meant is far from that.
His warmth is not only shown in how he can help you fulfill your stylish potential but also inthe name of his saloon. It is named after his daughter, Gwen, which shows how much he cares about his family ties and connections.
10Gemini - Kaya
Two Sisters In One
The Gemini sign tends to be held by the busiest individuals, and having to run a shop while doing all kinds of errands certainly makes Kaya busy. Yet she represents the sign not only with her personality but also with her side quest.
She needs EVE to find her lost sister, who was out gathering materials, so they could earn a profit. This constant need for work leads to Kaya’s sister getting killed, but EVE manages to recover the deceased sister’s memory chip, uniting the sisters once more and symbolically representing Gemini by having two people in one.
9Cancer - Tachy
A Hard Exterior
Tachy doesn’t appear in the game long since she’s abducted by Raven in the introduction of the game, andshe later shows up as a boss, forcing you to slay her. These few moments might be brief, but they do paint a picture of the relationship between Tachy and EVE, pushing the former towards the Cancer archetype.
When Tachy first releases you from the pod, she seems cold and distant, only focused on the job. But she clearly cares about EVE, to the point where she sacrifices for her and even calls her “my EVE” with her last breath; clearly, Tachy is someone with a hard exterior, only managing to form a bond with EVE during their time in the Colony.
8Leo - D1G-g2r
A Spark Of Self Awareness
The Leo sign is often seen as selfish, putting themselves before anyone else in nearly any situation. That is often seen as a negative trait, but we can’t deny that there are times when you need to think about yourself, and no character thinks about themselves harder than D1G-g2r.
This little robot was never made to be self-aware (as opposed to all other Andro Eidos that you meet), but through the magic of deep thought, it managed to consider itself as an individual. D1G-g2r ends its questline far from a definitive answer of whether it is human or not, but that’s an answer that only D1G-g2r can answer.
7Virgo - Lily
The Most Pragmatic Character
Lily is all about solutions that make sense in the material, not about philosophical questions about the self. As such, she fits perfectly as a Virgo, not only for her positive traits but also for the negative ones, since she aids you plenty on your journey but is unable to grasp certain ideas until it is too late.
In fact, to get the true ending, you have to force Lily tosee the world in a different light, otherwise she will never question Mother Sphere. Otherwise, she maintains the worldview that has made sense for her all this time: Naytibas bad, Mother Sphere good.
6Libra - Mann
Justice For Xion
Mann leads the defense force, protecting not only Xion, but their spiritual leader Orcal as well. He takes his job very seriously, considering every possibility to balance the outcomes and always getting Xion to come out on top.
This makes him a great example of the Libra ideals, putting others before him if it means a better result. This is why, when Raven invades Xion, he sends EVE to see to Orcal’s safety rather than his own: Mann feels like he could be replaced, but Orcal is unique in his role.
5Scorpio - Mother Sphere
As Mysterious As Ever
Scorpio tends to be seen as the bad guy of the Zodiac, which makes it an easy fit for the biggest antagonist of Stellar Blade, Mother Sphere. However, much like Scorpio, Mother Sphere is more complicated than a simple megalomaniac antagonist, and she might have her own motives for doing things her way.
When you interact with her during the ending of the game, particularly if you side with Adam, Mother Sphere doesn’t sound particularly malicious. She does send hordes of soldiers to attack you, but it’s hard to see if she’s trying to kill EVE or if she’s aiding her in her ascension.
4Sagittarius - EVE
Always Moving
Sagittarius calls for the explorer inside all of us to see new sights, to go beyond what we know both physically and allegorically, finding new horizons on the way. Most game protagonists fall into the Sagittarius archetype, and EVE is no exception.
Not only does she literally explore areas unseen for decades, traveling far and wide to reach her objectives, she also gets transformed by these journeysaShe hungers for new places, and she also hungers for truth, as shown in all endings, since she’s constantly questioning why someone sends her to do what they consider she must do.
3Capricorn - Clyde
The Fishing Master
The Capricorn sign is all about patience and perseverance to reach a goal, and few things represent that ideal more than fishing. The resident master fisherman in Stellar Blade is Clyde, who can teach EVE the ways of patiently waiting for a fish to take the bait.
Clyde also has his own thoughts on the world, needing little evidence to consider Mother Sphere a malevolent being. Yet he considers them with the time that they need, allowing himself to heal through self-reflection, calmness, and a lot of fishing.
