Let's get started then!

Oooohohoho!
Trait and Name (Japanese): 高貴な高飛車貴族「マリー・アントワネット」
Trait and Name (English): The High-classed and Domineering Aristocrat [Marie Antoinette]
Element: Light
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 4 / 4 ( +2 / +2)
Card Number: ES-189RR
Flavor Text (Japanese): ほほほ。私が仲間になって差し上げますわ
Flavor Text (English): Ho ho ho. I humbly offer myself to you as an ally
[Entry Cost]
Send 2 cards from your Hand to your Waiting Room, then draw 3 cards.
[Automatic Effect][Partner Effect]
At the start of your Main Phase, draw 1 card. If this Character's Level is 3 or above, you may choose to retrieve 1 card from your Waiting Room to your Hand instead. This effect still activates when this Character is in Faced-down position.
[Main Phase Effect][Battle Phase Effect][Once per Turn]
Cost:
Send 2 cards from your Hand to your Waiting Room
Effect:
If you activate this effect during your Main Phase, draw 4 cards, and send 1 card from your Hand to your Backyard. If you activate this effect during Battle Phase, select 1 Character, and that Character gains +4 Attack and +4 Defence until the end of the Turn. This effect can be activated when in Battle.

Marie is both supportive and offensive! During the early game, if she is your Partner, she provides an additional draw. Later on, when Marie hits Level 3 and above, should your Opponent play Characters which specifically disable Automatic Effects which involve drawing, you can still retrieve a card from your Waiting Room instead!
To speed up the drawing process, you can also send 2 cards to your Waiting Room to draw 4 cards. You'll have to send 1 card to your Backyard, which results in just an increase of 1 Hand size. You'll need a great deal of Hand size, especially if you're going to play her alternate effect, which adds +4 / +4 to a Character of your choice.
Note that the alternate effect can activate on either Player's turn, so it's great for dealing more Damage or defending from a hard-hitter!
But take note that if you used this effect during your Main Phase (To draw), you cannot use this same effect during the same turn to add +4 / +4 at the Battle Phase!
Marie's a new addition to the Eiyuu Senki crew, so looks like there is no card which caters specifically to her (Yet!). Marie can go with an offensive front with Friends like Hannibal from Eiyuu Senki Extra Booster:
Not pictured here: Her amazing six pack
Which offers a passive Penetrate, as well as the ability to flip 1 of your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters from Faced-down position to Faced-up position when this Character is able to deal Damage to your Opponent during Battle. The +4 / +4 can help against Partners with high Defence during the early game!
Be warned though, the more you draw, the faster your Deck runs out! This is why I suggest using Friends with high Attack (With Penetrate, preferably), because you'll most likely be trying to kill off your Opponent before your Deck runs out.
Of course, you can choose to reduce the speed of your draws by playing this Character as a Friend instead. She has a good Entry Cost if you have a lot of redundant cards in your Hand, and still provides a great optional drawing capability, in addition to stat-boosting ability during Battle Phase.

Next up, Caesar!

It's always those random mist passing by
Trait and Name (Japanese): 大浴場の完成「カエサル」
Trait and Name (English): Completion of the Large Public Bath [Caesar]
Element: Water
Gender: Female
Stats and Growth: 2 / 1 ( +2 / +3 )
Card Number: ES-191R
Flavor Text (Japanese): せっかくの機会なんだし、ナポレオンも開放的になったら？
Flavor Text (English): Is this the long-awaited opportunity, for once when Napoleon is being frank?
[Automatic Effect]
When this Character enters your Area or level up, you may flip 1 of your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters to Faced-up position. After that, all of your <OS: Eiyuu Senki> Characters gain +2 Attack and +2 Defence until the end of the Turn.

Well, this card's effect already existed back in Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box, as Galahad:
I was an Uncommon card!
Repackaged as a Rare card. Really now? Well, one could argue that Galahad is more likely to be used in in a Knights of the Round Table Deck, but the effect is generic, so she could go great with any Deck.
So, why a Rare card is beyond me, but oh well.. Maybe there's a reason. Who knows? Regardless, it is a great replacement over Decks which use Caesar for her Extra. Currently, there are 2 in existent:
Way to go, Censorship!
This Extra's from the Eiyuu Senki Extra Booster, and it involves Ashoka. You get to heal a Character whenever this Extra enters your Area or level up. This Extra also gains +3 Attack when it's selected as an Attacking Character.
It's an "Okay" card if you can somehow give this Extra skills like Penetrate and/or Swift Strike. The other Caesar Extra involves Nero, and comes from the Eiyuu Senki 1.00 Booster Box:
Notice the "Flip Horizontally" effect?
This Extra heals as well, every time it enters your Area or level up. The second effect, however, allows you to deal 3 Damage (Non-battle Damage) to 1 Character of your choice during Battle Phase (Once per Turn) by sending 1 card from your Hand to your Waiting.

That's all for today! See you again tomorrow!
