The information text on Lucia reads:
Birthplace: Blue Star

Other: since she has some relationship to the Goddess Althena, could she perhaps be the Goddess of the Blue Star?
|
 |
Early sketches of Lucia with different-colored hair.
|
 |
A few sketches of different outfit styles before they settled on the red cloak, which (the text says) they found suited her the best.
|
 |
A few more rejected styles of Lucia after the costume change, and one different (completely unserious) hairstyle.
|
 |
The information text on Hiro reads:
Birthplace: Salyan Desert
Age: 16
Interests: treasure hunting and adventure
Other: his parents are gone (uncertain as to why); he's innocent but has a bit of a naughty side.

|
 |
The information text on Jean reads:
Birthplace: unknown
Age: 18
Interests: dance and dancing
Other: Her parents' whereabouts are unknown; also, she is very adept at martial arts.
|
 |
Early sketches of Jean before they settled on fans.
|
 |
Sketches of Jean once she becomes a full martial artist.
|
 |
Alternative sketches of Jean as a dancer. The one at the bottom-right was the most popular before they settled on her current design (though not sure if they meant this tongue-in-cheek or not...).
|
 |
The information text on Ronfar reads:
Birthplace: Raculi in West Katarina
Age: 19
Interests: hustling/gambling and drinking

|
 |

Birthplace: Salyan Desert?
Age: unknown
Interests: being close to Hiro
Other: She became a full dragon while on an adventure, and recently has been talking about being closer to Nall.

Birthplace: unknown
Age: estimated 500-600
Interests: karaoke
Other: the sword on his back is emotionally wrapped up with Luna's old scarf.
|
 |
Few more sketches of Nall, and notes on Gwyn. The text notes that Gwyn raised Hiro, but doesn't say anything about whether or not he's biologically related to him (the later Thirty Questions section confirms that he is not).
|
 |
The information text on Mauri reads:
Birthplace: Raculi in the Marius Zone
Age: 16

|
 |
The information text on Leo reads:
Birthplace: Raculi in the Marius Zone
Age: 18
Interests: sword training
Other: he seriously enjoys going around the world doing incredible deeds.
|
 |
Some early sketches of Mauri, including her as a centaur. This was rejected for being too "beast-"like.
|
 |
Other early sketches of Leo, also one with him as a centaur. These all looked a little too ferocious for the look they wanted.
|
 |

Interests: training his body
Other: beneath his serious mask is the leader of the Black Karate of Death.
|
 |
The information text for Borgan reads:
Birthplace: Vane in East Katarina

The information text for (False) Althena reads:
Birthplace: unknown
Age: unknown

|
 |
Sketches of the Blue Dragon, and some concepts of the Blue Dragon Cave. Similarly, the concept art of the caves wasn't ultimately worked in to the Sega CD version, but it was eventually worked into the Saturn version.

Some early sketches of Althena's Guard. In one of these, the Black Dragon Wizard (now Borgan) was origially going to be female, and the Red Dragon Priestess (Mauri) and White Dragon Knight (Leo) were originally going to be much more heavily-armored.
|
 |
Very very early on, Lunar II was theorized as a continuation of Lunar I, so there were some sketches of the Lunar I characters as adults -- like here we have Alex and Luna about a decade older than in the games.
This is also the start of the long interview with Kei Shigema and Toshiyuki Kubooka. We have a translation for that by Maou here: Interview (Creators).
