This is the list of both known major and minor characters for the animated television series Di-Gata Defenders. Some of them have magical abilities.
Main Six Defenders
Seth Seth (voiced by Noah Cappe) is the 14-year-old leader of the Di-Gata defenders. He is skilled, confident, charismatic, creative, and decisive. However, he is also impatient in battle and headstrong. He also likes to eat, and tends to succumb to nausea more than the others due to his weak stomach. He controls the Nova Stone, a powerful Champion Stone which once belonged to his father. As the leader of the Defenders, he tries to be careful with those he trusts for their past errors, especially with Kali.
An attack by Omniaxor, his father's guardian, caused Seth to merge with his guardian Kragus. This merge gives Seth superhuman strength and armor as well as the ability to use a powerful roar that shakes his surroundings. However, his right arm, chest, and face become rock like Kragus. Eventually, he is separated from Kragus by a Megalith-possessed woman. To preserve Kragus' spirit, Omniaxor offers himself to allow Kragus to go to his guardian stone, causing Omniaxor to merge with Kragus to form Omnikragg. After Seth is implanted with a stone by Lady K’Tahsh, Brackus sacrifices Seth's hand using Devastation of Infinis, destroying it and the stone.
Seth is given a robotic arm installed by Erik, but it is incomplete and the unrestrained Infinimatter begins corrupting Seth's mind. He forms a pact with Doku and almost destroys the city of Arboth before restoring it by giving up the energy to recreate his arm. To compensate for his actions, Seth temporarily quits the Di-Gata Defenders. However, after dealing with Aaron and with Rion's encouragement, Seth returns as leader after realizing that it was wrong to have quit the Defenders and they needed him more than ever. He receives an improved mech arm which can transform into an arm cannon and direct the missiles with a gauntlet. After the Defenders save their Dojo's power core from being destroyed by Kali, Seth regains the power to merge with Omnikragg and transform at will.
Seth specialises in the Dako and Nega sigils, and his spells commonly involve dark energy attacks. His first Guardian, Kragus, was a rock-based giant that can also absorb rock into its body and copy its properties. His current guardian is Omnikragg, a fusion of Kragus and his father's guardian Omniaxor. He also receives a disk that once belonged to Aaron and seemed to be a key to a history book.
Melosa Melosa (voiced by Martha MacIsaac), also known as Mel, is a 14-year-old Wizard of Yan and second in command of the Di-Gata Defenders. She is patient and level-headed in battle, and well-read after years spent in the dojo library.
Her Wizard of Yan heritage gives her access to special powers, which allows her to cast spells without using Di-Gata stones as a casting medium. However, she did not gain total suppression and control of them until "Replication", because of the Megalith energy that was contained in the Dako Pure Stone. The Vitus sigil and the Megalith powers that corrupted her in "One Down" caused frequent wizard attacks, causing her to randomly send out bursts of energy or cast Wizard Spells, random Sigils summoned without physical Di-Gata stones, without knowing it.
After the Defenders managed to save their Dojo's power core from being destroyed by Kali, Melosa gains the power to merge with Draykor, increase her powers with ice, and fly, and transform at will.
Like her mother Freya, Melosa specializes in the Yan and Sum sigils, and her attacks are generally ice-based. Her Guardian is Draykor, whose spirit she keeps in an amulet that she received from her grandmother. She can also use the Tracker Stones for the Celestial Abyss to form a gladiator spear, helmet and shield, which she uses to force Kor Yin-an to escape.
Kara Kara (voiced by Sugar Lyn Beard) is twelve years old and the youngest girl of the Defenders. She is the most powerful, but considered by the others to be the least skilled. Kara is very strong-willed and determined, and others, especially her big brother, Erik, strive to protect her, but in reality she is more than capable of taking care of herself.
Kara utilizes cybernetic boots made by Erik and cannot walk without them. When she was younger, she was injured after finding Erik's stones on the ground and accidentally casting a spell while playing with them. This resulted in her legs being burned, and she was unable to walk again until the boots were invented for her. The boots are both an asset and liability to Kara, since they allow her to jump great heights and give her greater balance, but are vulnerable to various types of electronic interference. Beneath her boots, she wears stockings that resemble jika-tabi.
In The Di-Gata Redemption, the Defenders faced a creature from another realm which shared Kara's power to absorb energy to make itself stronger. Because Erik was the only one to master the two lost sigils, he was able to use their power to drain its energy. However, Erik's body was unable to withstand the energy drain since the creature had previously absorbed the power of the Nova Stone. Kara conducts the energy from him into herself, but was also unable to handle it. She is forced to destroy her physical body and send the excess energy and her spirit into Alnar's Life Stone. Unbeknownst to Erik, Kara's spirit is still watching over him.
Kara specializes in the Altas and Yin sigils, and her spells were wind and electricity based. Her Guardian is V-Moth. Erik
Erik (voiced by Dan Petronijevic) is fourteen years old and a skilled strategist, who is a technological thinker and skilled at designing and building electronic gizmos. He tends to speak in technical jargon when he works on technology, and not many people are able to understand him. He is the one who maintains the mechanical components of the Sigil Stormers, the Defender's main form of transportation. He also built Seth's robotic arm and the boots for his sister Kara, who he is overprotective of, to compensate for being unable to stop the accident that paralyzed her.
He is one of the six stone-casters that uses an external device to use Di-Gata stones. Like Flinch, he serves as "comic relief", as he frequently overdramatizes situations, wants to do things in a challenging fashion, and sometimes shows extreme cowardice.
When the Tome of Al-Mortigar was destroyed by accident, the Defenders sought out Brim. Brim then used a spell on Erik to transfer the knowledge the book contained to him, giving him the memories of the Master Carver. He is the only character besides Brim who has full knowledge of the first two Sigils contained within the Tome.
Erik specializes in the Infinis and Ogama sigils, and his attacks are fire and machine based. His Guardian is Robotus. He is also the only character besides Brim who has knowledge of the two lost sigils, Mal-ra and Orn-ra.
Rion
Rion (voiced by Alexander Conti) is a mysterious and inexperienced white-haired Defender. At twelve years old, he is the youngest boy of the Defenders and was to be trained as a secret "weapon" to help them defeat the Ethos, despite being half-Ethos. He lived at a dojo with Tzur, a giant rock golem creature who was preparing him for combating the Ethos. However, his training was cut short when the Megalith was released and destroyed, and he came to travel with the Defenders after meeting them.
His inexperience has granted him consequences. The first time he tried to help the defenders versus Zad, he ended up causing more damage than help to the Defenders, and nearly got dragged into the Dark Realm with Kara. They are saved by Spider-Robotus, and he slowly learns how to control himself and the use of his Di-Gata energy, replacing Kara in the main travelling party while she is off training.
When Rion succumbs to rage, the rocks on his headband start connecting themselves to his body. Two become rock Katar (कटार), and another forms as a buckle on his cape. His power multiplies and he becomes a dark incarnate version of himself. He cannot cast stone spells in this form, but his multiplied energy allows him to take down enemies with his arms. The power is enough to vaporize a single Zad in a matter of seconds. Afterwards, he reverts to his human form and his body becomes fatigued. Malco believes that this power may be useful to the Ethos and the destruction of the Defenders. Brackus theorizes that the Ethos have something to do with his transformations, which proved to be true, as Rion is later revealed to be an experiment to create warriors through use of Ethos essence, though the project was deemed a failure. It is also discovered that he has the natural ability to calm guardian creatures and speak their ancient language, which is over thousands of years old.
After the Defenders managed to save their Dojo's power core from being destroyed by Kali, Rion gains the power to merge with Arvengus and increase his powers, and transform at will.
His guardian is Arvengus, which was given to him by Tzur. He specializes in Yin and Nega sigils, and his spells consist mostly of natural elements like silver and rock. Adam
Adam (voiced by Jeremy From) is sixteen years old and the lost Defender, referred to as the "Lost One" by Leizel, and the foster son of Brackus. His real parents were killed by Brackus, who took him in but was neglectful towards him. Adam eventually ran away and became a thief, becoming skilled at hacking and hand-to-hand combat. His background with the Order later gives him knowledge about the Yin-tos Army and other mercenary groups. One example was when Brackus tried to trick the Defenders by giving the Yin-tos a pep talk, mentioning they would not make it there for two days. Adam remembers that Brackus would not normally do that, and deduces that he wanted the Defenders to hear the speech. He turns out to be right, as the army had beaten them to the Spell Zone first. The experiences he has with Brackus makes him much less trusting of him when Brackus supposedly loses his memory, as when he learns of it, he states he still does not care.
He is a mystery to his friends and enemies. He meets the Defenders under suspicious circumstances and joins the group on their quest for short periods. However, it is impossible to tell where Adam's true loyalties lie. Although he prefers to fast-talk and barter his way out of a duel, he is still a skilled stone caster capable of fighting without the use of stones.
In the aftermath of the destruction of the Megalith and the closing of the Dark Realm portal, Adam decides to take a vacation, taking the place of healer in a large desert city. His career ended when Seth had a Champion stone fused to his hand, and he assisted his friends in saving Melosa from the golem Atagor-Atm and the spirit of his deceased wife.
He then helped Doku bring a floating Wizard Tower to Arboth, and its Di-Gata stones were used to power a machine that would heal wounds and injuries, even re-create missing body parts. He only helped Doku so that this technology could be beneficial for Seth to recover his lost hand, and then officially joins the Defenders as their sixth member.
