In an update to the official website, Nintendo and Monolith Soft released details about three of the main characters for Xenoblade. Apparent frontman Shulk is hitting the books looking for ways to fend off the enemies attacking his hometown, presumably through the use of Monado, the sword for which the game was previously named. Dunban is a hero of the Homs tribe and the current wielder of Monado. Fiorung is Dunban’s responsible sister, and she fills out the obligatory childhood friend role for Shulk.

Xenoblade will hit shelves in Japan on June 10. Safe money says Fiorung will hit Shulk at least once, either due to a comical misunderstanding or because she’s too stubborn to admit she likes him.
