Ico

A young boy born with horns, the unfortunate Ico enters the tale being carried on horseback by a small group of masked guards towards an ominous stone castle, to be used as a sacrifice. Presumably, these horns are considered a bad omen, as many other horned boys have been also been sacrificed in the past. It becomes the player's rule in the game to see that the same fate doesn't befall this unique little hero, along with his companion Yorda.

Yorda

The ethereal princess Yorda is a mysterious girl that Ico comes across during his early exploration of the castle intended as his prison.

Naive, ghostly, beautiful, Yorda is a frail creature by all appearances, who appears to have no knowledge of the world outsite, but she quickly becomes dedicated in helping her new friend escape the castle, and the two soon become inseparable companions.

The Queen

A overwhelming presence in the two children's adventure, the Queen haunts them both during their explorations, determined to see that her daughter Yorda and the horned child don't leave the castle.

It becomes quickly apparent that these two children are crucial to whatever foul means the Queen wishes to achieve, and she is willing to do whatever is takes to see those achievements through to their end.
