Repede

Repede (ラピード Rapiido?) is Yuri Lowell's dog and loyal sidekick. Repede fights with daggers and is constantly carrying a pipe in his mouth, which is a memento of his previous owner, Niren Fedrock, who was killed during the events of the movie, Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike. Repede is the son of Lambert, who Yuri was forced to kill after he got possessed by a monster. As a puppy, Repede already had developed a habit of carrying objects in his mouth, such as bones or sticks.

Repede is friendly around those he trusts and children who like dogs, but dislikes it when approached by people he does not know. It is an ongoing event in which the heroine Estelle wants to pet Repede, but is rejected by him. Repede also carries a chain from his previous owner and uses his previous owner's bodhi blastia for combat. He is the second non-humanoid playable character after Eugene Gallardo from Tales of Rebirth, but the first to walk on four feet.
