Voice Actor (US): Heather Halley
Age: 16 years old
Height: 162 cm
Weight: 50 kg

>> Tear Grants is a soldier from the Order of Lorelei. She can seem cold at times, but she actually has a very feminine side, which is elaborately shown by her love of cute things. She is a Melodist Seventh Fonist, a fonist who uses mostly Fonic Hymns to heal others.

Tear appears in Luke's life as an enemy at first because of her assasination attempt against her brother and Luke's sword teacher, Van Grants. Throughout the storyline, the two learn to accept and trust each other, as well as the other party members.

As cliche as it may sound, Tear uses staffs and rods in battle. Ah well, the Fonic Hymns still make her unique.

>>SPOILERS!!!
She is the younger sister of Van(not much of a spoiler, eh?). Also, Legretta/Regret the Quick was her former teacher. Aside from that, she is said to be a descendant of Yulia, the one who made The Score. This is said to be the reason why she uses different Fonic Hymns from all the other Melodists. Her real name is Mystearica, or Mestearika in the Japanese version. Her hometown, like Guy, is Hod, although she never got to live there long because Van brought her to Yulia City.
