Saint Seiya Character Profiles
.
Athena, Goddess of Wisdom
Kido Saori is the reincarnation of the Greek Goddess Athena. She would have been killed if she wasn't rescued by the Sagittarius Saint Aiolos. She was adopted by Kido-sama who raised her as his own. Saori undergoes many trials as she realizes that she is Athena reborn. One usually sees her being held captive by the enemy which could lead one to conclude that she is kind of a weakling. But the opposite is true. Throughout Saint Seiya, Saori learns to use her cosmos and help her Saints when they are the ones in need.

The Five Bronze Saints
.
Pegasus Seiya
Seiya is the leader of the Bronze Saints and in my opinion he is the most aggressive of the five. His unwillingness to give up is as admirable as his honor and his dedication to Saori-san and his friends.
He trained in Sanctuary Greece where he won the Pegasus Cloth in a duel.
His name means Star Arrow which is quite appropriate for him as can be seen as the series progressed. In the end of the Sanctuary Series, he was able to tap his seventh sense and use the Sagitarrius Cloth. The seventh sense is what makes a person as powerful as the Gold Saints, who are the most powerful kinds of saint around. It allows a person to channel the power of the universe into the physical world.
Seiya was also able to use a God's Robe. In the Asgard series, Seiya used Odin's Robe to defeat the enemy(Hilda). Odin's Robe is different from the other Cloths -- it's wasn't gold! It looked liked it was made of Crystal. (Ah yes, another terrific armor-donning series!)
Attacks:
Pegasusu Ryuu Sei Ken(Pegasus Meteor Fist)
Pegasusu Sui Sei Ken (Pegasus Comet Fist)
Pegasus Ro-ringu Kurasshu (Pegasus Rolling Crush)
..
I think that Shiryu is very different from the other four Bronze Saints. There is a quiet resignation when he fights. It seems as if he doesn't really want to fight but he knows that he must uphold good and justice at all cost. He is always willing to make sacrifices. (This was seen in the episode where he had to fight Perseus and his Medusa Shield. He willing gouged his eyes out so that he won't turn to stone with Perseus' attack.)
He trained in China Rozan under the tutelage of the Libra Gold Saint Roshi. His Cloth is that of the Water Dragon. His Cloth also has a shield, which he wears on his right arm. This shield is virtually unbreakable to any attack... unless ofcourse you're a Gold Saint.
Attacks:
- Rozan Shoryuha
- Rozan Kourouho
- Rozan Kouryuha

Andromeda Shun
Among the five bronze saints, Shun seems to be the weakest. But one shouldn't disregard his powers. When push comes to shove, Shun can fight as well as the others. His Cloth is that of the constellation Andromeda. The two chains, which are part of his Cloth and are found on his arms, can extend to an amazing length. One chain ends in a ball which is used mainly for defense (Sa-kuru No Chi_e-n). While, the other chain ends in a pointed triangle/pyramid and this one is used for attacking(Sukuea No Chi_e-n).
Shun trained on Andromeda Island. He was originally suppose to train in Death Queen Island, but his older brother Ikki took his place.
Attacks:
Nebyura Chi_e-n (Nebula Chain)
Ro-ringu De_ifu_ensu (Rolling Defense)
Nebyura Suto-mu (Nebula Storm)
Nebyura Sutori-mu (Nebula Stream)
Sanda U_e-bu (Thunder Wave)
Supaida Netto (Spider Net)
Kyasute_ingu Netto (Casting Net)
Supairaru Dakuto (Spiral Duct)
Bu-meran Shotto (Boomerang Shot)
Wairudo Torappu (Whirled Trap)
Gure-to Kyapuchua (Great Capture)
..
Hyoga is Athena's Cygnus Saint. He was trained Eastern Siberia by Crystal saint.
From the episodes I've seen, Hyoga is a formidable warrior. In the Sanctuary Series, he was able to tap his seventh sense and defeat the Gold Saint Aquarius. Eventually, like Seiya, when he taps his seventh sense, he could use the Aquarius Cloth. I think the first time this happened was during the Poseidon series. When Seiya, Shiryu and Hyoga confronted Poseidon, their Cosmos and Clothes were not enough to defeat him. They all had to tap their seventh sense and when they did they were able to activate three Gold Cloths. Seiya donned the Sagittarius Cloth, Shiryu got the Libra Cloth and Hyoga had the Aquarius Cloth. (This episode happens to be one of my favorites!)
Attacks:
- Ho-rodoni Sumeruchi (Smerch-Freezing Tornado or Aurora Thunder Attack)
- Daiyamondo Dasuto (Diamond Dust)
- O-rora Ekusukyu-shon (Aurora Execution)
- Karitsuo (Circle)
..
Phoenix Ikki
Ikki is just as head strong and aggressive as Seiya if not more stubborn. I don't know if Ikki was really like this or if this was brought about by the dangerous training he had to undergo on Death Queen Island.
Ikki is basically a loner, you rarely see him engaging in group discussions with Saori-san or the four other Bronze saints, but that doesn't mean he's nothing more than the ultimate killing machine. He cares for his brother very much, going to any lengths to protect Shun. (But I have heard from the people that have seen the later Saint Seiya movies that there was a scene were Ikki did not help Shun.)
His powers are quiet different from the other Bronze Saints. His attack "Genma Ken" (which just happens to be my favorite attack) can reveal a person's greatest nightmare and make it seem real or it can project illusions, fooling Ikki's enemies.
Attacks:
Phoenix Genma Ken
Hou Yoku Ten Sho
