Yume Senshi:
Shiraha Kurliu (Quill) of Winter

When he does have eyebrows, they're bushy

[Natural Quills]  [Windblown Quill]  [Chibi Quill] [Quill in Jeans]

 First appears in Issue One
Age 17
Born November 26, 681 (Saggitarius)
Prince and Heir of Winter (current)
2nd best archer in Yume with immense Shamanist and Holy abilities.
"I forgave Canvas killing so many so that Yume could be saved... How can I change my mind now, just because it's personal?"

1st Theme: "Duvet," Opening of Serial Experiments Lain
~This song has been in my head a week straight now. I get the point, leave me alone!
2nd Theme: "Mononoke Hime" from... Mononoke Hime
~Okay, I don't actually know what it's called. But it's five minutes long, instrumental and really pretty. I had a massive debate over who it should go to, since it was obvious it fit someone, and eventually realized I was forgetting the main cast in an effort to give themes to everyone. Fine, Quill, take it. Ya jerk. Anyway, it fits him through its play of the melodic, the contemplative and the powerful.
Ki Kanbasu (Canvas) of Spring

Perpetually red-faced boy

[Canvas Body]  [Chibi Canvas]

 First appears in Issue One
Age 17
April 19, 682 (Aries)
Prince and Slave, Heir of Spring (current)
The worst of Ki-sama's children, clever and extremely manipulative, able to use any weapon (currently carrying a broad sword and a dagger)
"Once da noble (and evil) Canvas of Spring had recovered, the Yume Senshi set forth on their quest, sure to encounter riches, alcohol and scantily-clad women."

1st theme: "Demons" by Dogstar
~I like how the song's sound, in itself, isn't what you'd expect from something I picked as a theme. Some of the lyrics are straight on; some are right off. But this has the most right to being a theme. When I heard it I thought of Canvas, thus starting this whole silly theme business.
2nd theme: "Shape of My Heart" by Sting
~I can see this being background music in certain Canvas scenes--certain rare Canvas scenes, but still. This song applies to Canvas in 3 ways. Masks, the Magician (Tarot) and Heart. The masks are already apparent--the Magician is what Canvas represents in the Yume Tarot, and Heart... doesn't come into play, really, until much much later. Don't even try to understand why he has a theme with the word "love" in it.
Majikku Inku (Ink) of Summer

Shut up, Ink. No one understands yer weird speech anyway.

[Ink Character Design] [Chibi Ink] [1000 hits pic]

 First appears in Issue One
Age 19
Born November 2, 680 (Scorpio)
Fire type Magic (Rank of Partial Cape)
Knight of Yume (current)
Uses offensive magic and a spear
"Why am I here?  These losers will kill themselves eventually."

1st Theme: "Rain" by Kanno Youko (Cowboy Bebop)
~This fits in the "unexpected sound" category as well. Might be a bit forced, mostly is chosen via lyrics, although Church-like music is good for Ink.
Hake Bosabosa (Brush) of
Autumn

What was I looking at?

[Brush's Scars] 
[Brush Loincloth Sketch]  [Chibi Brush]

First appears in Issue One
Age 16
Born May 3rd, 683 (Taurus)
Former Prince of Autumn, Knight of Yume (current)
Extremely strong with an extremely large axe and good intuition
"I feel I've lost something I can't even name."

2nd theme:"Call Me Call Me" from Cowboy Bebop
~The sound feels like Brush to me. The lyrics work with him well. And I think he'd like basking in this song after a hard day.
1st theme: "Blue" from Cowboy Bebop
~I probably shouldn't take this song, but I can't help it. The dualism of the song, especially between the children's choir straight into the adult--it's perfect. Also chosen for sound.

 
 
 
Others:
Oops Derkins of Taurus

Well, to be honest... I ate your choccie on the way here.

 
 [Oops' Character Design]

 First appears in Issue One
Age 15
Born March 17, 1253 (Pisces)
Remains in a state of permanent fangirlishness, with frightening shoujo heroine abilities.
"AH!  There's this scary guy in armor following me, and he wanted me to come with him, and he's all funny looking and hairy and--"

1st theme: "Ultra Relax," 2nd Opening of Child's Toy (Kodomo no Omocha)
~This was the first thing I thought of. If you know the lyrics, it's especially amusing. Or if you imagine Oops doing the dance, that helps too.
Rin (Leene) of Autumn

Is my hair really that strange? 
[Leene's Character Design]

 First appears in Issue One
Age 15
Born July 14th, 684 (Cancer)
Lucid Dreamer
"Dreams don't last forever--we haven't got much time.  Who knows... maybe this is destiny."

1st theme: Bottom of Night (Chrono Trigger)
~After doing this, I realized that the character named after CT also has a CT theme. Um. I call this the most boring of the themes, but it's one of the few CT tracks still saved this long after I last beat the game. I like it.
Yume Character Comic Selector
List result. Many current and upcoming characters. I got Brush. (Currently down.)

Which of the Senshi from Swirly Mark Yume are You?
Picture result. Silly, probably insulting. I got Pantera.
