In the attack on Heimdallr by Magic Knights and Cryptids, Fred and Martha assist in getting civilians to safety and shelter.

Towa's parents

A photograph in 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III shows an infant Towa with her two parents. Her father is quite tall and well dressed whilst her mother seems to share the same distinctive features of the Herschel family, namely the wavy brown hair and striking yellow eyes. There are two versions of this photograph and in one of them, Towa's mother is wearing round glasses.

Her parents were both scholars who unfortunately died in an aircraft accident on their way back from an international congress in Crossbell prior to the start of the series.

Trivia

• Inspiration for the surname 'Herschel' might come from William Herschel, a German-British astronomer.
• The surname 'Herschel' reappears as the surname of Nayuta Herschel in The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails. He shares his stargazing hobby with Towa's grandfather but a clear connection between the two has not yet been established.
