DELTORA QUEST THE LAKE OF TEARS ISBN SERIES
Jasmine Voiced by: Ayahi Takagaki (Japanese) Laura Rushfeldt (English) At the start of the series Jasmine is a wild orphan girl who lives a solitary life in the dangerous Forests of Silence. He helps Lief and Jasmine along the quest and is always strong-hearted, never gives up hope and is rather a gentle giant. During the series, Barda competes in a contest in which he describes his special skill as strength. He is also the son of Min who was the childhood nurse maid of both Endon and Jarred, who was killed by Prandine when she warned King Endon he was being deceived, but he didn't believe her. He is about the same age as Lief's parents. He is a skilled swordsman and frequently makes jokes about being stuck with two young hot-heads Lief and Jasmine. He is revealed to be an ex-palace guard who assumes the role of protector to Lief, much to both his and Lief's dismay. Barda Voiced by: Yuusaku Yara (Japanese) Tom Edwards (English) At the start of the series Barda appears to be a poor beggar living on the streets of Del.
Only a few times does he considered giving up the quest but the thought of his friends or allies suffering always helps him to continue. Lief is very courageous and extremely trustworthy. Lief is tempted in many ways and by the end of the first series we see that he has grown not only in bravery and strength, but also in wisdom and patience. On his 16th birthday he leaves Del on his father's quest to find the magical gems missing from the belt of Deltora and the heir destined to wear it. He is (as Barda describes him) 'A young hot-head' and spends his time roaming the streets and both tempting and dodging trouble. After a series of epic battles on the way to Del and in Deltora, the Shadow Lord is finally banished from Deltora.Ĭharacters Lief Voiced by: Ryosuke Sakamaki (Japanese) Cole Howard (English) At the start of the series, Lief is the son of a blacksmith who lives in the run down city of Del.
