We've got some more localized information for Tales of Berseria focusing on Velvet's talented companion, Laphicet. Again, the info here is similar to the Famitsu scan from a while back, but with official localized terms. Special thanks to the Official Tales Blog for the information.
Laphicet - "The Talented Companion"
"It just seems too lonely for her to bear all of it alone."
- Gender: Male
- Age: 10
- Height: 142 cm
- Weapon: Paper
- Tribe: Malak
- Character Designer: Minoru Iwamoto
- Japanese Voice Actor: Azumi Asakura
From the day Laphicet was born, he was just exploited as a tool to be used for his power to wield artes and wasn't even bestowed his own name. He was an emotionless child who didn't have a will of his own and would just blindly follow his master's orders.
This behavior of his irritates Velvet at first, but as the story progresses, Laphicet eventually develops a mind of his own from travelling with Velvet. He eventually becomes an existence that becomes an anchor for Velvet to continue the journey with her rage boiling inside of her.
