Ani-Pock Name That Character Game Day 3

Kip here again.
I have some more questions from our A-P Anniversary Guess the Character Game!

We hit a couple of snags just after starting our game, but we are prepared to resume now, with a double post!


These are some of Lord Zaku's questions, so be sure to send them to him.
Double round questions:

1) This character plays both a negative, and positive role. This character turns the tides later in the series by revealing their true intent, and some of their identity. Who is this character?

2) This character is one of the easier characters to like throughout the series. This character starts out welcoming, and seems to like the main character. The end makes off of this clear. Who is this character?

Round two:

1)Name the anime in which the character from question 2 is from.

2)This anime aired late on Ani-Pock, it was also interrupted by some of the episodes not working that were later not fixed due to the fallout. What anime is being spoken about.

Hint: Starts with "R"

(NOTICE! Please state your AP name in your email if you don't already have one. I'd like to make sure I have your name correctly when tallying the scores! ~Zaku)
