Character Database

* **Ambiguous Disorder**: God has a lot of traits like literal-mindedness, limited interpersonal skills, rambling about his special interest in Creation, stimming, and No Sense of Humor, and neurodivergent tendencies like depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation, some of which he attributes to not having spent much time on Earth, even though none of the other Primordials have any of his problems. He seems to be fairly well-liked and to have had a good relationship with his fellow Primordials, so his quirkiness probably hasn't caused him any real problems. Ultimately, God is most likely just socially awkward, and it has nothing to do with him being a Primordial being.
* **Ambiguous Innocence**: God appears to be innocent, aloof, and unaware of a lot of different things (especially regarding humanity, human life, or customs), but he is actually a very strong warrior and incredibly badass. He is definitely capable of being very ruthless when he wants to be.
* **Angelic Beauty**: Has a 'dreamy' look about him.
* **Badass Adorable**: God is rather quirky, socially awkward, and has poor social skills. All of these traits contribute to God's adorableness. But at the same time, he is very powerful and can kick major ass if you cross him.
* **Cannot Spit It Out**:
	+ Anything to do with human emotions or feelings. God just doesn't understand emotions and humanity whatsoever, and he has trouble expressing it. Understandable, considering that he is a Primordial being.
	+ Also, whatever he feels for Gaia. It's clear that God definitely has an affection for Gaia but he seems to have some sort of difficulty expressing whatever he feels for her. It could be because he is himself and feelings aren't something that he is used to.
* **Character Tics**: He licks his lips quite often. He also has a habit of tilting his head to the side when stumped or confused.
* **Creepy Blue Eyes**: Has the pretty-but-scary variety. Would you just fricking blink, already?
* **Divine–Infernal Family**: Lucifer used to be his favorite kid before he rebelled, though his parenting skills were always questionable.
* **Do Not Taunt Cthulhu**: Pissing off God (or trying to kill Him) is a very bad idea.
* **Eldritch Abomination**: A benevolent version, but He's older than time itself and created the universe and the angels who are this trope themselves. His true form is a living mass of light, just like the Void's is a living mass of darkness.
* **A Form You Are Comfortable With**: He maintains his human-like form throughout everything. Considering His true form seems to be a mass of living light, it's understandable.
* **Hates Being Alone**: One of the reasons He created the universe. He, the Void and the Grim Reaper were the only beings in all of existence and they were too different to be good company, resulting in Him being lonely.
* **Icy Blue Eyes**: God's eyes can become rather piercing when he is giving someone (mostly an enemy or an opponent) the Death Glare.
* **Literal-Minded**: He's getting better at it, but he still fixates on the literal meanings of English slang. Though he's interacted with humans long enough by now that you wonder if he's also being sarcastic.
* **Messy Hair**: Casually, God's hair tends to always be windswept and messy.
* **Mr. Fanservice**: He is that rarest of cases where his type of fanservice involves something as innocent and nondescript as taking off his tie and showing his wrists, rather than stripping off his clothes.
* **No Social Skills**: Is accustomed to either dealing with those who are used to his odd manner or with humans from a position of celestial authority. When he walks among humans in human guise, he can be comically awkward.
* **Not Distracted by the Sexy**: God is more or less asexual, only noticing nudity and sexuality for as a curious novelty (usually accompanied by a puppy dog head tilt) or remarking upon the immoral nature of the situation (usually accompanied by a wide-eyed fearful expression).
* **Opposites Attract**: With the Void. God is the Primordial of Creation and the Void is the Primordial of Chaos, and while God's interest is more ambiguous, the snarky Void is definitely attracted to his seeming innocence.
* **The Power of Creation**: He created the universe and everything in it. Turns out to be His biggest advantage against the Void; the Void is nothingness and destruction, so he *can't* create while God can.
* **Puppy-Dog Eyes**: Tends to make a wide-eyed and pleading expression with a matching head tilt, particularly when he's confused by something.
* **Quizzical Tilt**: A sign of him trying to understand the weirdness of life on Earth.
* **Reality Warper**: He's *freaking God*; he *made* reality.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: He begins the story as very cold and aloof, switching between cuddly devotion to his creations and an uptight seriousness made even more uncomfortable by his complete lack of social skills. While he still remains formal and professional, as he spends more time around others and Character Development kicks in, he learns to become more openly expressive to others, too.
* **Time Abyss**: He's older than the Earth itself, making Him billions of years old. Most likely older than the universe, since He created it in the first place. Death was the only being around God's age, and neither of them can remember who is older (according to Grim, anyway, who has been revealed to be bit unreliable on the subject). The Void is the only being confirmed to be as old as Him. According to Grim, the Void's even *older*, but both the Void and God contradict this, claiming to be of equal age.
* **Top God**: In a story full of Physical Gods, He is THE GOD, Jehovah Himself.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Silver/white.

### The Void

The Void is, well, the personification of the Void, and the Primordial of Chaos. Chaos refers to the void state preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos, or to the initial "gap" created by the original separation of heaven and earth.

* **Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other**: His relationship with God. Although the Void is the Primordial of Chaos and God is the Primordial of Creation and they are supposed to be enemies, it is very clear and obvious that the Void has a very deep affection or soft spot for God.
* **Card-Carrying Villain**: *"...I miss the simplicity. I was bad, you were good. Life was easier. Now it's all so messy. I'm kinda good, which sucks, and you're kinda bad, which is actually all manner of hot."*
* **Destroyer Deity**: He contrasts God's nature as the source of all creation by being the embodiment of destruction.
* **God of Evil**: He's the true embodiment of chaos, evil, nihilism, and pretty much everything bad. Subverted though in that he turns out to be Not Evil, Just Misunderstood.
* **Opposites Attract**: With God. The Void is the Primordial of Chaos and God is the Primordial of Creation.
* **The Power of the Void**: Being the Anthropomorphic Personification of Nothingness, the Void has this power. Which means while the Void is extremely powerful, God can create while the Void can only destroy, meaning unlike God, the Void can't create anything to help him.
* **Primordial Chaos**: Trope Namer.
* **Supernatural Gold Eyes**: Has golden eyes which glow in the darkness.
* **Truly Single Parent**: He birthed several children all on his own. Not that he had much of an option, seeing as there were no other beings to mate with him at the time.

### The Grim Reaper

The oldest of the four horsemen and a being that embodies the force of death for all life, Death is the one and only "Grim" Reaper, and leads the other Reapers.

* **The Anti-God**: He claims to be as old as God and is an antithesis of Him when it comes to creations, reaping instead of creating them. However, unlike other examples of this trope, he is neither evil, particularly destructive (aside from his reaping), and is, in fact, one of the more benign entities in the story and possesses a dislike of the natural order being thrown into chaos.
* **Badass Baritone**: He speaks with a surly, matured tone as a sign of his increased age and experience with an appropriately deeper voice.
* **Badass in Charge**: Grim is in charge of all of the Reapers.
* **Blue-and-Orange Morality**: Seems to operate this way.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: Very, very grumpy and very, **very** scary, but generally a benevolent force.
* **Eldritch Abomination**: For starters, he considers Satan as a naughty child who throws temper tantrum. There's also his claim about his extremely ancient age. Then there is his scythe, whose extent of power is, even today, still unknown.
* **The Grim Reaper**: The original, oldest of all the Reapers, and their boss.
* **Hell-Bent for Leather**: Prominently wears form-fitting black leather pants as part of his main outfit as an indication of his strong sense of fashion.
* **Humanoid Abomination**: He presents himself in human form, but see Eldritch Abomination above.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: Is *very* bitter and insulting. Nevertheless, he tries to do what is right from a human standpoint and not a Primordial's, no matter what he says otherwise.
* **Long-Haired Pretty Boy**: His hair ends up growing longer and longer as the years go by, he's on the slim side, and he's quite popular with the ladies.
* **The Omniscient**: Grim is functionally omniscient. Every time Ronich tries to tell him something, the bored-looking Grim Reaper notes that he's already aware. He does show surprise when Ronich mentions how fearful Sylvia is scared of him, and how she feels she is not good enough for her father.
* **Perpetual Frowner**: His most noted characteristic.
* **Rapunzel Hair**: He has let his hair grow past his waist.
* **Reasonable Authority Figure**: Grim is much more level-headed and temperate than his fellow Horsemen "brothers." He's arguably the most reasonable super-powered being in the story.
* **The Stoic**: He's very nonchalant about everything, since everyone else is too far beneath him for him to care what they do.
* **Suspiciously Specific Denial**: Grim *doesn't* care about humanity, Earth or helping Ronich. He's *very* specific about that, while giving Ronich advice on saving Earth and humanity.
* **Token Good Teammate**: Grim is more benevolent than War, Famine and Pestilence/Conquest by a country mile.
* **Trauma Button**: Seeing Gaia, or anyone who looks like her, a result of her death.
* **Tsundere**: And how! Somehow he manages to pull this off towards a *cat*. Though he's naturally surly and acts exasperated by his reapers, he cares a lot about them and is very proud of their accomplishments, almost crying in happiness when Sylvia becomes a full certified reaper.
* **Unwanted Harem**: Downplayed, because it's not the focus of the series and is mostly implied, but Grim appears to draw quite some attention, both platonic and romantic, from his friends and reapers regardless of gender, although he's not interested in a relationship (or at least not with them).
* **When He Smiles**: Considering what a dour man he usually is, the rare moments when he's genuinely smiling in are all the more notable for it, as Sylvia herself comes to appreciate.
* **You Remind Me of X**: For the worse, since Sylvia's resemblance to her mother, Gaia, makes him not want to look at her.

### Gaia

Gaia is the personification of the Earth and one of the primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother—sometimes parthenogenic—of all life.

* **Angelic Beauty**: Gaia has a very innocent and ethereal look.
* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Of the Earth itself.
* **Apron Matron**: She's the mother of all and will not take kindly to anyone messing with her kids.
* **Badass Pacifist**: She is against the idea of violence and prefers to solve things peacefully. Yet, as stated by Erebus, you *do not* want to fight her. He's proven correct when she's first seen in battle.
* **Big Good**: As she represents the Earth and all life on it; thus, protecting her is a priority.
* **The Dreaded**: Even the Ascim gods opted out of *directly* messing with Gaia.
* **Elemental Embodiment**: Of the Earth.
* **Genius Loci**: She *literally is* the Earth, not merely the goddess thereof.
* **Green Thumb**: Along with Dishing Out Dirt. Within her capacities, but by no means the only powers she has.
* **The Hedonist**: She's implied to be one by her conversation with Erebus about why being a human trumps being a god. Considering who she's talking to, it could've just been her joking around or trying to get him to agree with her. She goes on to stress that what she really values about being human is all the emotions they get to feel, good and bad.
* **Humans Are Special**: Gaia believes this to the extent that she genuinely considers her own kind inferior in comparison. She admires humans' capacity for emotions such as loyalty, forgiveness and love, as well as for funner things like chocolate cake and sex.
* **I Just Want to Be Normal**: She prefers life as a normal human girl to that of the goddess of the earth, and wishes she didn't have to get her powers back.
* **Mood-Swinger**: Befitting the embodiment of nature's volatility, she's prone to changing moods on a whim.
* **Mother Nature**: Is the Mother earth of all the world's religions.
* **Mother of a Thousand Young**: Just like her sister Nyx.
* **Parental Incest**: Her male counterpart, Uranus, with whom she gave birth to many the titans, cyclops, and hecatoncheires, was actually her firstborn.
* **Physical God**: About as powerful as her sister so she is this.
* **Seers**: Aside from having prophecy skills herself (for example, foreseeing that Cronus would be overthrown by his own son), Gaia can provide others with prophetic visions through cracks on the earth's surface—this is thought to be how the famous Oracle at Delphi did it.
* **Shipper on Deck**: After Hades fell in love with Persephone, Gaia made flowers bloom that lured the girl into Hades arms.
* **Tangled Family Tree**: She has given birth to a lot of children over countless millions of years. She is the reason why many gods of various pantheons are actually related to each other.
* **Truly Single Parent**: While most of her children were fathered by other gods, her very first child, Uranus, was hers alone.
* **Women Are Wiser**: While she is powerful, violence isn't Gaia's ideal method. If at all possible, she will try to find a way to get what she wants with guile and maneuvering.
* **You Cannot Grasp the True Form**: We've never actually seen her "true" form on paper. We only see what human (or godly) minds can understand.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: White, appearing silver in some lighting.
* **You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry**: Oh *very much so*. Just imagining an angry Gaia is enough to make *Erebus of all people* shiver in fear. It's taken Up To Eleven when it's revealed if Gaia gets too angry, the earth will cease to exist; in other words, it'll explode, and everything on it will too.

### Erebus

Erebus is a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness.

* **Above Good and Evil**: He finds both concepts unimportant, as well as everything else.
* **All Love Is Unrequited**: His feelings for Deyanira were never reciprocated by the latter. Subverted as it's implied that Deyanira may have shown some interest in him.
* **Cannot Spit It Out**: Towards Deyanira in the past. He was in love with her, but couldn't tell her for two key reasons: He was married and had a daughter. and Deyanira was with Cain.
* **Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest**: Keres is this to him, being the splitting image of Deyanira, her mother, who Erebus used to be in love with.
* **Has Two Daddies**: He was made by the Void, but given life by God.
* **I'm a Man; I Can't Help It**: Subverted. While he was married to Sam, he was also in love with Deyanira.
* **The Starscream**: By canon, Hell might be Lucifer's domain, but as far as Erebus' concerned, there's only one true King of Hell.
* **Strong Family Resemblance**: Looks like the splitting image of God, just with a darker color palette.
* **You Are in Command Now**: Following Lucifer's imprisonment in Keres' heart, Erebus gets promoted/promotes himself to the new King of Hell.

### Nyx

Nyx is the personification of Night and the daughter of The Void. She's often portrayed as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. Even Zeus fears her.

* **All-Powerful Bystander**: Nyx is content to let the other Gods handle the "governing the universe" thing even with the implication she could slaughter them all on her own and take over for herself if she felt like it.
* **Dark Is Evil / Dark Is Not Evil**: Depending on the mood.
* **The Dreaded**: Nearly all the deities, *including Zeus*, take great care not to get on her bad side—not least of which because she spawned other feared divinities.
* **Elemental Embodiment**: Of the Night.
* **Humanoid Abomination**: She is usually represented as a gorgeous female human, but has some eldritch vibes herself.
* **Mama Bear**: Maybe, even Zeus doesn't dare to risk it.
* **The Sacred Darkness**: As goddess of the night.
* **Shipper on Deck**: Nyx blessed Hades and Persephone's union at their wedding.
* **Truly Single Parent**: She conceived all of her offspring alone.

## The Four Archangels

### Michael

Michael is the eldest Archangel, making him the oldest angel in Creation and one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He is the older brother of Lucifer, Raphael, and Gabriel.

* **Age Lift**: According to the Bible, Michael is younger than Lucifer.
* **Big Brother Instinct**: Towards all of his brothers, but especially Lucifer. One of their conversations makes it clear that Lucifer was his favorite brother.
* **Freudian Excuse**: It's implied Michael's personality is down to God being a far-from-perfect father and favoring Lucifer while Michael was expected to be the dutiful one.
* **Freudian Trio**: Michael is the Superego to Lucifer's Ego and Gabriel's Id.
* **The Paragon**: In the eyes of the angels in Heaven.
* **Parental Substitute**: He claims that he raised Lucifer.
* **Proud Warrior Race Guy**: As head of Heaven's armies (which makes up the majority of angels), he lives up to this.
* **The Reliable One**: Of all the four Archangels, he is the one most loyal to his father; unfortunately, he takes this to the point of fanaticism.
* **Sibling Yin-Yang**: With Lucifer. Michael is logical, calm, emotionless, level-headed, pragmatic, and stoic. Lucifer is much more aggressive, reckless, rebellious, hot-headed, argumentative, and opinionated. Lucifer suffers from the major sins of Pride, Envy, and Wrath.
* **Smug Super**: Somewhat. Michael is certainly arrogant and thinks he's above humans, but he is also insecure and devout to the point of fanaticism.
* **The Stoic**: It's quite easy for Michael to keep his emotions at bay.
* **Super Prototype**: As the first and most powerful of God's creations, Michael is this to the Angels in general and the Archangels in particular.
* **Villainous Incest**: With Lucifer (given that as they're both angels, they're also siblings).

### Lucifer

The most pivotal angel in existence who changed the entire fate of Heaven, Lucifer, also known as "The Devil" and/or "Satan," is a fallen Archangel. He was God's favorite son and is known to be the most beautiful angel ever as well as Heaven's most beloved angel. He is the ruler of Hell and creator of demons, seen by them as a father figure.

* **Absolute Xenophobe**: Even by angel standards, Lucifer is very much this. He despises humans for supplanting him as God's favorite creations and seeks to wipe them out. He also loathes his own creations, demons, for being created from the very humans he hates so much — even if he was the one who created them. Beyond a certain point even the other Angels stop mattering to him.
* **Affectionate Nickname**: Erebus tends to call him "Luci". It may sound mocking, especially early on when the two are bitter enemies, but later, it's made clear that Erebus considers it a pet name.
* **Aggressive Categorism**: Lucifer judges and hates all humans. He also hates his own creation, demons, which makes sense.
* **Angelic Beauty**: Deyanira reminisces how strong and beautiful Lucifer was in Heaven. He's notably the only angel whose celestial form is described this way.
* **Antagonistic Offspring**: Averted; despite his anger and resentment towards Him, Lucifer still loves God. Inverted with the majority of demons not believing that he intends to eliminate his own creations.
* **Ax-Crazy**: When his blood is up, he becomes a bit too eager for everyone else's.
* **Beauty Is Bad**: Lucifer is said to be the most beautiful and perfect angel that God ever created, but Lucifer is the Big Bad and plans to bring on the end of mankind.
* **Berserk Button**:
	+ Don't mention how the Devil is associated with goats. He has never done anything with them and has no idea how that came about.
	+ Calling a woman a bitch in front of him WILL get you in trouble.
	+ A horny woman screaming "Oh God" is a real turn-off for him.
		- **Lucifer**: Really? You have to bring him up?!
	+ Never blame him for the wrongdoings of humanity. He doesn’t like it when you do.
	+ Never *ever* tell him that he's just like Erebus.
* **Big Brother Instinct**: Lucifer was implied to have had this towards Gabriel.
* **Big Brother Mentor**: Implied to have been one to Gabriel, as he taught Gabriel all of his "tricks."
* **Big Brother Worship**: Lucifer idolized his older brother Michael, and the two were very close. In fact, Michael mentions that he raised Lucifer.
* **Black Sheep**: Lucifer says that he always felt he was "different" from the rest of his family. The rest of his family agree — that is, Gabriel, Michael and even God himself all agree that he was a total dick.
* **Camp Gay**: Not as flamboyant as the trope is usually played, but Lucifer is very flirty and extroverted, in addition to being bisexual.
* **Cannot Spit It Out**: Has a perpetual case of this. He simply cannot bring himself to say to Michael those three little words, even though he very much feels them.
* **Con Man**: Lucifer is good at deceiving, manipulating, corrupting, and conning everyone.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Lucifer is *very* witty and sarcastic. He has some of the best and catchiest lines of the story.
* **Depraved Bisexual**: He constantly jokes about wanting to have sex with Erebus, sleeps with Rewin Elnich, and has strong Incest Subtext with Michael.
* **The Devil Is a Loser**: Lucifer is immensely powerful and terrifyingly dangerous, but as numerous characters point out, he is ultimately nothing but a bratty manchild throwing a temper tantrum because he isn't the favorite anymore.
* **Dimension Lord**: Lucifer is the ruler of Hell. He also has many loyal demons who follow him and see him as a God and as their Father.
* **Divine–Infernal Family**: Like all angels he considers God his father, and has *major* daddy issues.
* **Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi**: He has sex with Rewin Elnich while she's under the impression that he loves her. Lucifer (being... well, *Lucifer*) doesn't give a damn.
* **The Dreaded**: Even while sealed, his very existence struck fear into everyone.
* **Driven by Envy**: His jealousy towards humans is what makes him want to destroy mankind so much.
* **Entitled Bastard**: Lucifer was God's favorite son and Heaven's most beloved angel. When God created humans, Lucifer threw a temper tantrum and rebelled against God because God appeared to love humans more than him. Though this was mostly due to the influence of Erebus, who corrupted him into his rebellion.
* **Ethical Slut**: Lucifer is *extremely* promiscuous, but his lovers always have a good time and part with him without any hard feelings.
* **Et Tu, Brute?**: Lucifer felt betrayed by both his father, God, and his elder brother, Michael. He felt betrayed by God for loving humans more than him and felt betrayed by Michael because he wouldn't support him and stand by him against God when he needed him.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**: Despite his plans, he still loves his brothers (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael). He even loved God, his Father, more than anyone and anything.
* **Even the Guys Want Him**: In his own words: "I'm so good at flipping men, they call me "The Skillet"."
* **Evil Overlord**: Lucifer is the ultimate leader of Hell. That is, until he is imprisoned (proclaimed 'dead') and Erebus ends up becoming the King of Hell.
* **Evil Plan**: Wipe out the human bastards. And the demon monsters, though they don't know that part.
* **Evil Virtues**: Lucifer displays some, believe it or not.
	+ **Ambition**: Lucifer's goals may be evil, but he has the drive to achieve them, despite how catastrophic they are.
	+ **Determination**: Lucifer NEVER GIVES UP.
	+ **Diligence**: Despite being locked in Keres' heart forever, Lucifer was still strongly at work. He still had many minions (demons) working for him in order to implement his plans. He was basically The Man Behind the Man pulling all of the strings.
	+ **Honesty**: While he may settle for half-truths or Exact Words, Lucifer has always said that he never lies.
	+ **Love**: Despite his evil plans, it is pretty clear that Lucifer loves his Father (God) and his Archangel brothers (Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel). Hell (no pun intended), it was Lucifer's love for God that caused him to rebel and turn evil in the first place (via Erebus' influence). Lucifer even states he loved God *too much*.
	+ **Patience**: Lucifer is rather calm and patient. He devises a plan and lets it take its course, no matter how long it may take.
	+ **Valor**: Lucifer will never go down without a fight.
* **Exact Words**: Lucifer uses this trope to the point of obsession. Throughout his appearances, he never flat-out lies to anyone, and will usually respond honestly if asked a direct question. What he does specialize in, however, is answering questions from "a certain point of view" or answering specifically the exact question that was posed and nothing more.
* **Fallen Angel**: Lucifer is the Trope Codifier.
* **Fallen Hero**: Also the Trope Codifier.
* **Faux Affably Evil**: He's always polite and soft spoken but it fails to hide his wrath, pride, and pettiness, and later on he embraces the Card-Carrying Villain within.
* **Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence**: In his mind, everything is humanity's fault.
* **The Gadfly**: Lucifer enjoys annoying people, and he's really, really good at it.
* **A God Am I**: Lucifer is worshipped as a god by the demons since he is, after all, technically their Creator.
* **God of Evil**: His followers and creation (demons) view Lucifer this way. Lucifer is also viewed this way by mankind.
* **Hazy Feel Turn**: Supposedly, Lucifer was originally a good angel and the most beloved angel in heaven, only to be corrupted with anger and jealousy by Erebus. However, God himself disputes this and says that even before Erebus corrupted him, Lucifer was *already* proud and selfish, and that Erebus at best only made him worse.
* **Hidden Depths**: When Lucifer finally had his heart to heart talk with God, a great many things were revealed about the both of them. Turns out that some of what Lucifer said about his actions and the later consequences were God's fault when God basically admitted that he imprisoned Lucifer for what was ultimately the former's mistake when he could have rehabilitated Lucifer by giving him what he needed, what in fact Lucifer always really wanted, and what every parent should give their children: patience, understanding, and love.
* **Hot as Hell**: Literally.
* **Hot-Blooded**: Lucifer is aggressive, reckless, rebellious, hot-headed, argumentative, and opinionated. His inability to keep his Hair-Trigger Temper and Ax-Crazy tendencies under control are a big part of why his plans often fail.
* **Humans Are the Real Monsters**: Tries to make this argument. But it falls flat because a majority of humans' heinousness is his fault.
* **I Gave My Word**: Almost exact words from the one History calls the Prince of Lies. In-universe, he is 100% honest, 100% of the time.
	+ **Lucifer**: My word is my bond.
* **Irrational Hatred**: Towards humans and humanity.
* **It's All My Fault**: The reason he hates it when mortals blame their sins on him? It's because he's secretly afraid that, in spite of his protests to the contrary, they're actually right.
* **Kill All Humans**: His goal is to wipe out humanity.
* **Lack of Empathy**: It's All About Me when you're Lucifer.
* **Like a God to Me**: He is revered as a deity by the demons as he created them.
* **Love Makes You Evil**: Lucifer claims that his love for God is what made him become the representation of evil that he is. Lucifer loved God more than anything, but God seemed to show more love for humanity than he did for Lucifer, so Lucifer got jealous and rebelled as a result. Because of Lucifer's jealousy towards God's love for humanity, Lucifer has made it his #1 goal to destroy humanity at any cost.
* **Manchild**: While not of the psychopathic variety, Lucifer does act like a snarky immature preteen with no self-awareness or sense of propriety.
* **Meaningful Name**: *Lucifer* means "light-bringer," "bringer of light," or "light-bearer." Which is kind of ironic considering that Lucifer is, you know, Satan aka the Prince of Darkness.
* **Mr. Vice Guy**: He is vain, smug, has a hard time thinking of anything outside of his own personal problems, blames a lot of those problems on his dad, tends to enact vengeance without thinking it through half of the time, sleeps around *a lot* and likes to encourage these very same sins on other people under the idea that they are urges that shouldn't be repressed. He is the Devil, after all. As the story goes on, it slowly dawns on him that these various vices aren't as harmless as he thinks they are and learns to be better.
* **Names to Run Away from Really Fast**: "Lucifer," "Satan," "the Devil," "the Morning Star." He practically started this trope before it was cool.
* **Narcissist**: Lucifer's major reason for rebelling was because he was pissed that he wasn't God's favorite anymore.
* **Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist**: He claims he's doing what he does because he's proving Humans Are the Real Monsters and that God was wrong to favor them and not put them down, but he's really just a cosmic juvenile delinquent who hates the fact humans replaced him as his daddy's favorite.
* **Odd Name Out**: All of Lucifer's brothers' names (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) are of Hebrew origin and end with "el," which means "god" in Hebrew. Lucifer's name, on the other hand, is of Latin origin.
* **Offing the Annoyance**: What Lucifer plans on doing to humanity.
* **Offing the Offspring**: He is the creator of demons, who look up to him as their beloved father, but he secretly despises them as the epitome of everything he hates in humans and plans to exterminate them all as soon as they have outlived their usefulness.
* **The Only One Allowed to Defeat You**: At one point, Lucifer angrily states that "nobody dicks with Michael but me!"
* **The Paragon Always Rebels**: Before rebelling against God and becoming a Fallen Angel, Lucifer was God's favorite son and Heaven's most beloved angel. However, he rebelled when he was replaced as the favorite by God's newest creation, humans.
* **Parental Favoritism**: Lucifer was God's favorite child, something acknowledged by Gabriel AND Michael.
* **Physical God**:
	+ The demons revere Lucifer as a god because he created them.
	+ Played with a little with Lucifer himself — he's one of the most powerful characters in the story, and recognizes the usefulness of such blind obedience, but still regards himself first and foremost as God's son.
* **Pride**: Lucifer's *major* vice.
* **Pride Before a Fall**: Try pride before THE Fall. Lucifer's own pride was instrumental in his downfall; he was too proud to serve humanity like God wanted, so God had Michael throw him out of Heaven into Hell.
* **Psychopathic Manchild**: Lucifer's basically a child who's mad with Daddy (God) for having a new baby — except in this case, the "baby" is the entire human race, the "child" is an ancient, vicious, and dangerous Knight Templar who has the magical equivalent of nukes to back his hissy fit up, and his ideal solution is to ultimately Kill All Humans.
* **Rage Against the Heavens**: Classic Lucifer.
* **Right for the Wrong Reasons**: Lucifer loves to play the victim and has a serious case of Never My Fault. He claims that it was God's fault he is the way he is for letting Erebus corrupt him, which twisted his already dim view of humans into outright hatred and then sending him to hell to languish. Thing is that he isn't wrong but in his views about personal responsibility as he and others merely believe God was indirectly responsible, though Erebus possesses the largest culpability.
* **Satan is Good**: Subverted. He sincerely wants you to *think* this, and in his first few appearances at times, you might even be tempted to believe him, but ultimately he's an egotistical monster and was once referred to by Death himself as a child having a cosmic temper tantrum.
* **Smug Smiler**: He knows more than you and shows it with that grin.
* **Smug Super**: He's one of the most powerful beings in all of existence, and his ego is as big as Jupiter.
* **The Sociopath**: While introduced with having humanizing characteristics and redeeming traits, and being played as Tragic Villain, this is ultimately Lucifer's true nature. Lucifer has many characteristics of a classic sociopath including: Inability to empathize, manipulative and charismatic, monstrously high opinion of himself, throwing childish temper tantrums when things don't go his way, and absolute refusal to admit any wrong doing. Gabriel even says to him that he is incapable of feeling love and empathy and only cares about being feared, being worshipped, or both. This is subverted as he did truly love his father and siblings (preferably Michael), but the way he goes about it is... rather twisted, to say the least.
* **Softspoken Sadist**: He's very calm and cool-headed, and behaves in a gentle and polite manner. That doesn't stop him from torturing and killing to get what he wants.
* **Spoiled Brat**: Lucifer hates humans because God transferred his affection from him to humanity. Many characters consider Lucifer a child who is having a temper tantrum because he isn't God's favorite son anymore.
* **Talking in Your Dreams**: Like all angels, Lucifer has the power to talk to people in dreams.
* **Tragic Villain**: He's unquestionably a monster, but he does have elements of this.
	+ While things obviously went horribly between them, it's strongly implied that if God had faced up to his responsibilities as a father and shown Lucifer a bit more patience and understanding instead of kicking him out of Heaven, things could have been very different.
* **Tranquil Fury**: Usually when he becomes infuriated.
* **Villainous Incest**: Of the Incest Yay Shipping variety, with Michael.
* **Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds**: Inverted. He acts like this, and his excuse that he was cast out of Heaven simply for speaking his mind might have more than a grain of truth to it. However, it's clear as time goes on that he's very much an arrogant Psychopathic Manchild, and there are plenty of hints that he always regarded everything that was not angel as lower than dirt, and he's free to do whatever he wants to them.
* **Yandere**: "I was punished for loving God too much" and "Because I loved Him" (the reason he was cast down by God, or so he claims...).

## Gods

### Hela Kvichsky

*"I'm not a queen, or a monster. I'm the goddess of death. What were you the god of again?"*

The ruthlessly ambitious and supremely powerful Goddess of Death.

* **Adaptational Attractiveness**: Unlike Hel in the original myths, the other half of Hela's face does not look like a rotting corpse.
* **All of the Other Reindeer**: She was mostly an outcast and generally not very well perceived among all the other gods and mortals alike.
* **Ambiguous Disorder**: She displays symptoms of anxiety (her paranoia and tendency to expect the worst from people) and autism (her lack of social skills, the fact that she Hates Being Touched, and her tendency to say offensive things regardless of whether or not they're intentional).
* **Angsty Surviving Twin**: She was hit pretty hard by the death of her twin sister.
* **Aura Vision**: She usually keeps her eyes covered because it makes her see the aura of death on other people.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Hela has no mercy. If she has something to say, she'll say it.
* **Dark Action Girl**: Hela doesn't often rely on her physical prowess, but when she does she's a fierce opponent that is able to fight the Mighty Thor himself.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: Isn't a malevolent goddess *per se*, despite what people may think, and keeps her word when she gives it. Hel is referred to as a dark and shady place, but a peaceful one, a bit like Limbo. She herself doesn't torture the souls of the dead, she simply welcomes them and gives them a place to rest, only punishing the ones that committed a grave sin and sending them to the underworld.
* **Emotionless Girl**: She rarely emotes and is very reserved.
* **Freakiness Shame**: The second time she shows Balder her hair under her eyes, he remarks that her eyes are oddly beautiful, and that she should go without covering them with her hair more often. Her sister also thought the same.
* **Hates Being Touched**: In addition to having problems with people in general, she doesn't like being touched by anyone.
* **Ice Queen**: Stoic, dour and cold.
* **I Love the Dead**: In *Ynglingatal*, it is stated no less than three times that Hela has sex with the dead king.
* **Inferiority Superiority Complex**: Is constantly talking down to others, but also has *a lot* of self-esteem issues and people-issues.
* **I Work Alone**: Dislikes interacting with the other Gods and avoids looking for trouble the way her father does. Indeed, she is perfectly satisfied with ruling over the souls of the guiltless non-combatants.
* **Magical Eye**: Her eyes can see the "color of death" on dead people or people that are about to die.
* **Magic Knight**: Hela is both a powerful sorceress who has vast mystical abilities and a badass fighter and highly proficient swordswoman.
* **Messy Hair**: Her hair is noticeably unkempt.
* **Nerves of Steel**: She's always the first one to keep her head no matter how grim the situation gets... so long as the lights are turned on.
* **No Social Skills**: Tends to primitively reject others, accusing them of thinking the worst of her while assuming the worst about *them*.
* **Oracular Urchin**: She knows about pretty much everything that's going on, yet she only gives very vague hints that don't really help to understand the situation.
* **Physical Goddess**: Not only that, but she's the most powerful Goddess in her pantheon.
* **Power Floats**: Hela can't fly but (like Loki) she can levitate and she seems to enjoy floating ominously above people, no doubt to appear even more intimidating.
* **Power Limiter**: She covered her eyes with her hair because her eyes can see "things that should remain unseen," even if Hela doesn't want it to.
* **The Quiet One**: She's a person of few words.
* **Rapunzel Hair**: It goes past her knees!
* **The Stoic**: Nothing much fazes her.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: She comes off as emotionless, distant and somewhat creepy, but she has her moments of genuine kindness.
* **Touch of Death**: As expected from a Death Goddess, she has this power. She can also fire deadly bolts of energy that can kill both Gods and humans alike, meaning she doesn't even have to actually *touch* you to kill you.
* **The Undead**: Hela's subjects, minions and army are all undead, often shown as being zombie like humanoid creatures in varying states of decay.
* **You Are Worth Hell**: On the receiving end of this. She and the mortal King Dyggvi fell in love while he was alive. All that is known about him is that he killed himself, which sent him to Helheim. He chose to die without glory so he could be with her.

### Ares

The most prominent god of war.

* **Ax-Crazy**: Being the god of slaughter, bloodshed, and violence.
* **Because You Were Nice to Me**: He platonically adores both Eris and Hestia, In Eris’s case she is a Nightmare Fetishist so she liked him for the same reason most didn’t, Hestia on the other-hand loves everybody so naturally this includes Ares.
* **Blood Knight**: He represented the brutality of war.
* **The Brute**: He's a war god and relies more on brute force than strategy.
* **Desperately Craves Affection**: Ares's open aggression was mostly nurtured (accidentally) by Hera's passive aggression - meaning most of his inherent character flaws come from his admiration for his mother, and most of the wars he started were to get Zeus's attention to prove he was a good son worthy of admiration. Needless to say both methodologies back-fired phenomenally.
* **Equal-Opportunity Evil**: Blood-thirsty brute? Absolutely. But he has a soft spot for feminists and is very pro-homosexuality.
* **Jerkass**: Well, duh. He is the God of War and loves to slaughter. He is definitely not a nice guy.
* **Like Father, Like Son**: A mother and son example - While giving him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Zeus derisively observes that Ares takes after Hera in temperament. It's not that hard to see the resemblance, honestly...
* **Nightmare Fetishist**: He's described as getting off (in excruciating detail) at the sight of mass blood-shed. Probably why he fell in love with Keres...
* **The Un-Favourite**: His father Zeus made it clear that he detests Ares the most out of all the Gods, due to his barbaric violence and lust for quarrelling, war, battles, and especially his habit of whining to daddy whenever he gets a beating on the battlefield; in fact, the only reason that he hadn't throttled him from the peak of Ascim is because he is Zeus and Hera's son. Hera herself doesn't seem to be fond of him neither since she asked Athena to beat him.
* **War God**: One of the first and prime examples.
* **War Is Hell**: Ares personifies war as bloodshed, violence and destruction.
* **Yandere**: For Keres, one such example being where Ares got jealous at Keres requesting consorts from around the world.

### Aphrodite

The goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality, who was also associated with looking after children.

* **All-Loving Hero**: Aphrodite likes and cares about *everybody*, as befits a goddess of love.
* **All Women Are Lustful**: What the Greek society believed.
* **Curtains Match the Windows**: She has pink hair and pink eyes.
* **Die for Our Ship**: In-Universe. If you stand in the way of her OTPs and/or are the half of her NOTP she doesn't like, prepare to face her wrath.
* **Give Geeks a Chance**: With Hephaestus. After finally having enough of her ex-boyfriend and his obsession with another woman, the heartbroken love goddess wandered into the same room as the forge god. It was a rocky start, but after meeting up a few more times the two really hit it off. The two married some time later, after Hephaestus “asked” Hera for Aphrodite’s hand in marriage. To give you some idea, Hephaestus gave Aphrodite a cannon so she could continue her duties even when stuck on Ascim. Something no one has ever given her. Not even her ex-boyfriend.
* **Head-Turning Beauty**: Being the goddess of love and beauty, this is a given.
* **Physical God**: She is a goddess and takes part in several battles and confrontations with other gods.
* **Rose-Haired Sweetie**: She is a woman with long pink hair, and is very sweet and approachable. However, it's still not a good idea to get on her bad side.
* **True Love is Exceptional**: If there is one thing Aphrodite believes in, it's this. No surprise, as the goddess of it. While Aphrodite is happy with common lust and the occasional fling, true love is what gets this goddess out of bed in the morning. When she sees the potential for it, Aphrodite will do all within her power for it to happen. Even if at great personal effort or cost.
* **Water Is Womanly**: The goddess of love and beauty, she is heavily associated with the sea, having been born from the sea foam formed when Uranus's genitals were thrown into the ocean.

### Uranus

Primordial sky-being, son and husband of Gaia, and father of the Gigantes, Cyclopes, Hecatonchires and Titans. A cruel and overbearing ruler who imprisoned his children in Tartarus because of their bizarre appearances. Gaia didn't like this, and had one of the Titans, Cronus, castrate, dismember, and overthrow Uranus. The drops of his blood from this became the avenging Furies, and his severed genitals mixed with the ocean's foam created Aphrodite. He spitefully predicted, however, that Cronus would also be destroyed by his own children. He is also Gaia's first child which she had by parthenogenesis, he is grouped with the Protogenoi because Gaia had so many children with him and he doesn't fit anywhere else.

* **Abusive Dad**
* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Of the sky itself.
* **Asshole Victim**: Although he is still alive after Cronus castrated him, he was sliced to so many pieces that he is effectively dead, unable to do anything.
* **Elemental Embodiment**: Of the Sky.
* **Greater-Scope Villain**: A lot of the problems the Titans and their children would have as people can probably be traced back to his *wonderful* parenting.
* **Groin Attack**: On the receiving end of this, by his son Cronus.
* **Parental Incest**: Most of his children were birthed by his mother, Gaia.
* **Self-Fulfilling Prophecy**: His prediction to Cronus could be considered this since it was paranoia from this prediction that led Cronus to swallow his kids alive. Guess how happy they were about *that*.
* **Taking You with Me**: Unwilling to go down without leaving his son paranoid about suffering the same fate...or giving the Titans their nickname.
* **Truly Single Parent**: A purely accidental example—his severed testicles ended up producing Aphrodite, making him effectively her "father". This possibly applies to the Meliae, the Furies and the Giants too, but most accounts claim that they were born to his blood mixing with the Earth, which would make them Gaia's children as well.

### Artemis Khryselakatos Iokheira

> *"...The goddess of the hunt has always held my highest admiration. Unlike so many of her brethren on Ascim, she seems unconcerned with being praised at every turn by mortals, and instead, she dutifully holds her station as a master of the natural world."*
>
>

Goddess of young women, of virginity, childbirth (yes, both at the same time), Women's Mysteries, forests and hills, hunting, and, later, the moon (along with Selene). Essentially a liminal goddess who protected women throughout their lives.

* **Action Girl**: A talented archer and warrior.
* **Affectionate Nickname**: Is called “Fairy” by Apollon.
* **All Amazons Want Hercules**: The only man she *may* have been interested in is the great hunter Orion. Unfortunately, Apollon disapproved of their relationship and tricked Artemis into killing him.
* **Amazon Brigade**: Had a train of warrior nymphs assisting her in her hunts. They were sworn to virginity and severely punished if they broke their oath.
* **Animal Motifs**: Heavily associated with deer.
* **Archer Archetype**: A Master Archer goddess who is usually aloof and stoic and has associations with the wild through her hunting.
* **Asexuality**: Artemis stands as one of the three virgin Goddesses and has had no romantic encounter with neither man nor woman. The one possible exception was Orion.
* **Celibate Heroine**: As the goddess of virginity, Artemis was famous for having a "no romance" rule among those who worshipped her.
* **Chariot Pulled by Cats**: Artemis's chariot was pulled by a pair of her sacred deer.
* **Does Not Like Men**: And that's putting it mildly. Pretty much the only guys she's pleasant to are Apollon, Orion, and her priest Hippolytus. No, she doesn't like men, but looking at her relationship with Orion, Apollon, Zeus, and others, she doesn't *dislike* them either.
* **Half Identical Twin**: Her brother Apollon.
* **Implied Love Interest**: Orion. Apollon tricks her into killing Orion because Artemis considered marrying him.
* **Improbable Aiming Skills**: Was tricked into sniping Orion from an island while he was in the middle of the ocean.
* **Lunacy**: She is associated with the moon.
* **Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy**: Rough-and-tumble Masculine Girl to her brother's artsy Feminine Boy.
* **Platonic Life-Partners**: With Callisto. Ostensibly. Her warm tone of voice when she describes her best friend as "my Callisto" is, naturally, up to interpretation.
* **Virgin Power**: Was one of the three virgin goddesses, along with Athena and Hestia.
* **Western Zodiac**: Traditionally associated with Sagittarius, as the archer.

* **Light 'em Up**: Comes with being the god of the sun.
* **Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy**: Artsy Feminine Boy to Artemis' rough-and-tumble Masculine Girl.
* **Meaningful Name**: Apollon is a less popular spelling of Apollo, and Agana Belea makes reference to the Greek god's bow and arrow.
* **My Sister Is Off-Limits!**: Apollo disapproved of Orion's relationship with Artemis, and tricked Artemis into killing him by daring her to shoot at a far-off object in the water, which turned out to be Orion swimming.
* **Night and Day Duo**: He's the day to Artemis' night, as expected.
* **Spell My Name with an "S"**: Actually referred to as Apollon, with an N at the end, in classical and homeric Greek sources. Later when the Romans adopted him into their pantheon they referred to him as Apollo, without the N. Due to the extensive use of the Roman God names in the Western World from the Renaissance on, and the similarities between his Romand and Greek names, the final N is almost always lost in the English Speaking world, even when discussing his Greek incarnation. Another modern varation that is less commonly used cuts even more letters from his name and shortens it to "Apoll".
* **Swan Boats**: Sometimes depicted as riding a large swan or a chariot being pulled by swans.
* **Western Zodiac**: Traditionally associated with Gemini as the sign of dualism and twins, being a sibling to Artemis.

### Balder Hringhorni

The gentle but clumsy Norse God of Light.

* **Childhood Friend**: To Loki and Thor.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: Gets jealous of the other gods when they spend time with Hela.

* **Friend to All Living Things**: Humans and animals are attracted to him due to his innate godly powers.
* **I Love You Because I Can't Control You**: He's interested in Hela because she isn't magically drawn to him. She just treats him like a normal person.

* **Light Is Not Good**: Though Balder is a very nice and gentle man, he is fated to lose control of his powers and to cause destruction.
* **Meaningful Name**: Hringhorni is the name of his ship.
* **Nigh-Invulnerable**: Can't be harmed by most things due to his mother's pact with all objects on Earth. However, he can be hurt by mistletoe. And himself.
* **Power Incontinence**: His powers go wild when his emotions get out of control.
* **Pretty Boy**: He's usually described as this.
* **So Beautiful, It's a Curse**: People are drawn to him like flies to honey because of his power as a god of light. However, they don't truly love him, just the light that he represents.
* **Trademark Favorite Food**: Meat.
* **Yandere**: Balder is beginning to show signs of this when it comes to Hela, being quite pushy and possessive of her. Development has him admit to pushing too far and backing off.

### Susanoo-no-mikoto — Takeru Totsuka

Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the God of the Sea and Storms, and Tsukito's younger brother. Hot-headed and temperamental, Takeru eschews the company of the other gods and Ame. He's a skilled swordsman and very protective of his brother.

* **Alliterative Name**: Like his brother, the letters of his first and last name begin with "T".

* **Big Brother Worship**: He idolizes his big brother Tsukito and has the same kind of attitude towards Hades.

* **Defrosting Ice King**: Came across as a Jerkass at first. But turns out he just has a...
* **Does Not Like Spam**: He hates mushrooms.
* **Hair-Trigger Temper**: It's not hard to make him angry; most of his interactions with Ame involves him learning how to control his emotions.
* **Hidden Depths**: Surprisingly, he is good at poetry, stemming from the mythological fact that Susanoo is said to be the first being to create poetry.
* **Hot-Blooded**: About anything that interests him.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: He comes across as rude in the beginning, but it's far from the truth. He just has some temper and trust issues, and very soon he turns out to be one of the sweetest guys in the story if you manage to gain his trust.
* **Meaningful Name**: The root of his name, “Take”, is based Susanoo's full name, Takehaya-Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Like Tsukito, Totsuka comes from the from the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, Susanoo's legendary sword.
* **My Greatest Failure**: He accidentally killed a goddess while trying to save her from an unknown danger, presumed to be a falling accident like the one he saved Ame from.

He never let go of this incident and it shaped his entire view of the world and his outcast tendencies.

### Ame-No-Mi-Kumari — Ame Kumari

> *"From the very instant that I was born, those things were all mine. And it's exactly because of that – that I'll never be satisfied."*
>
>

Ame-No-Mi-Kumari is the goddess of water. She is the daughter of Minato-No-Kami, the god of rivers and estuaries. Prior to the beginning of the story, she had been hibernating for eight hundred years.

* **Action Girl**: Ame learned swordsmanship at a young age and has kept practicing it since then.
* **Affectionate Nickname**: Takeru calling her "Weed" started out as an insult but later becomes this.
* **Ancestral Weapon**: She reveals that her pendant is this, as it was given to her by her mother.
* **Compelling Voice**: Her glamour is so strong that with just her voice, she's able to bend everyone that lays eyes on her to her very whim.
* **Cuteness Proximity**: Her stoic expression breaks whenever she sees something cute.
* **Defeat Means Friendship**: She charmed Sarutahiko to allow Ninigi to enter Earth. Not only did it work, but Sarutahiko was enamored by Ame and wanted to marry her.
* **God of Light**: Represents the first light of the day. Quite fitting, since she literally brought the sun back to the world.
* **Heroes Prefer Swords**: She regularly practice swordplay, specifically Iaido.
* **Magic Dance**: Her dancing is said to inspire the Shinto ritual dancing of Kagura.

* **Victory Is Boring**: She was bored with life because she always had everything she wanted, to the point she decided to sleep (seemly forever) waiting for someone that she would not have so easily.

### Iduna Arfonia

Iduna is the Goddess of rejuvenation.

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Is called "Kitten" by Loki.
* **All Girls Want Bad Boys**: Her marriage to Loki raised eyebrows seeing as divorce was completely acceptable, so no one would question her for leaving her husband. Although it is possible that there is a good husband underneath his chaotic exterior.
* **The Atoner**: She feels immensely guilty for not telling anyone about her vision of the man Hela loved killing himself. Iduna isn't necessarily *at fault* for his death, but she didn't try to prevent it because of her obsession with and unhealthy dependency on Hela.
* **Cuddle Bug**: Loki is called "the cargo of [her] arms" which means "the one she holds in her arms while they're in bed".
* **Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold**: She is blonde. She is also a very sympathetic character.
* **Heterosexual Life-Partners**: With Hela.
* **Hidden Depths**: Despite looking sensitive and fragile, her strength of will and ability to confront her own insecurities is actually quite remarkable.
* **Living Emotional Crutch**: Iduna has relied on Hela for so long that she has become this for her. She needs Hela to do almost everything for her and becomes rather anxious if she is not around.
* **Moe Couplet**: With Hela.
* **Murder by Inaction**: She believes herself guilty of this, as she had a vision of a man's suicide and did not try to prevent it because she was jealous of the attention Hela gave him.
* **My Greatest Failure**: See Murder by Inaction above.
* **Nice Girl**: Very much so. This girl wouldn't even hurt a mosquito because it might have a family.
* **Selfless Wish**: Her wish is to grant Hela's wish.
* **Yandere**: A borderline, non-romantic example with Hela. Because of her unhealthy dependency on Hela and fear that Hela would leave her, she chose not to intervene when she had a vision of Hela's lover committing suicide. To be fair, it's implied that Iduna was very young at the time, she *hates* herself for doing this.

### Loki Laevatein

God of Fire. Wild and energetic, he is a born prankster who always has a trick or two at hand. Dislikes following rules and being told what to do. He's a childhood friend of Balder and Thor, and values his friendship with them very deeply.

* **All the Other Reindeer**: He was ostracized by the other gods because he possessed Jotun (giant) blood and his propensity for pranks. Only Balder and Thor took the effort to befriend him.
* **Because You Were Nice to Me**: Balder was the only one who didn't take pains to avoid Loki as a child. As such, Loki is very attached to Balder.
* **Childhood Friend**: To Balder and Thor.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: Is rather possessive of Balder.
* **Fun Personified**: Comes with being the resident prankster.
* **The Gadfly**
* **Meaningful Name**: His last name comes from Lævateinn, a sword that Loki used that is coated in flames. It is mentioned in the Poetic Edda poem Fjölsvinnsmál.
* **Playing with Fire**: God of Fire.
* **The Prankster**: The god of pranks, after all.
* **Short Hair with Tail**: In the shape of a braid.

### Set

* **Cain and Abel**: Per usual between him and Osiris, although the reasons behind are much more complicated.
* **Face–Heel Turn**: Set was once a benevolent god, sworn to protecting the lands of Aram. Then Osiris raped him, impregnated Nephthys, and stole Set's ability to have a child, eventually leading to Set becoming a cruel tyrant.
* **Rape Leads to Insanity**: His rape at the hands of Osiris kickstarts his descent into the murderous tyrant he is.
* **Sand Blaster**: As the god of deserts, Set primarily uses copious amounts of sand as a battle tactic.
* **Sanity Slippage**: His trauma and anything that reminds him of it tend to drive him more off the deep end than he already is.
* **Weapon of Choice**: While he transforms his sand into a variety of weapons, Set notably prefers the khopesh (a long sickle-sword), which emphasizes both his cruelty and skill.

### Horus

* **Animal Motifs**: The falcon. He even has falcon wings that he flies around with.
* **Blow You Away**: He's able to manipulate the wind. Later, it's shown he's able to dissolve into air as well.
* **Creepy Uncle**: Inverted. Despite Set coming onto Horus first, Horus is already *very* interested in his uncle.
* **I Just Want to Be Loved**: Having been on the run for his entire childhood, this is one of the main reasons why Horus falls in love with his uncle.
* **Incest-ant Admirer**: Horus is romantically interested in Set, but the fact remains that he's the son of Set's worst enemy.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: While never explicitly mentioned, it's clear from Horus' actions that he is completely besotted with Set, and is willing to threaten and even attempt to murder Anubis to keep his uncle safe. Horus also shows no interest in Hathor's advances.
* **The Stoic**: Rarely shows emotions, save for the time he absolutely crumples in guilt after realizing he had raped Set.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**: Even as a young child, Horus shows absolutely no fear at walking right up to his uncle in their first meeting, given that Set is surrounded by the corpses of young boys that he had just slaughtered. Later, in order to keep up the façade of being his son, Horus continuously gives Set wine to receive more of his affection.
* **Winged Humanoid**: Falcon wings sprout from his back, although they're not actually part of his body.

### Osiris

* **Abhorrent Admirer**: Loves Set. Whether he likes it or not.
* **Affably Evil**: Despite doing some very cruel and nefarious things in his effort to get Set to come to Duat with him, Osiris is always polite, well-spoken, and benevolent enough that people just instinctively trust him.
* **All Love Is Unrequited**: Osiris is obsessed with Set, noting that Set would never look at him as anything more than his brother.
* **Beneath the Mask**: Osiris is an incredibly powerful god, a previous king of Aram, and even held power over life itself. Beneath it all, he was internally tearing himself apart as to whether or not he would ever be anything more to Set, and resorts to blackmail, sexual abuse, and taking Anubis' soul hostage to make Set return his feelings.
* **Brother–Sister Incest**: He was married to Isis, his sister. He also impregnated Nephthys, although whether he did so the old-fashioned way or by just giving her some of his seed is unclear. Lastly, he is in love with Set to the point of violent obsession.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: He grants Set's and Nephthys' marriage... but then steals Set's seed so that they would be unable to conceive, and impregnates Nephthys himself all because Set didn't love Osiris instead.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**: A *very* dark version. He's not above using blackmail and sexual coercion to get Set to stay with him, and chooses to kill himself when he mistakenly believes that Set is dead.
* **Evil Is Petty**: He incessantly mocks Set for believing that Nephthys actually loved him.
* **Incest-ant Admirer**: Osiris desires Set, and will stop at nothing to get him to come to Duat with him. Set doesn't feel the same way.
* **O.O.C. Is Serious Business**: Osiris is usually calm and self-assured, but he absolutely freaks out after Set attempts to kill himself to get away from him. This clues Set in that Osiris is unable to resurrect other gods.

### Seshat Sheikh

Seshat, under various spellings, is the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, and writing. She is a scribe and record keeper, and is credited with inventing writing. She also became identified as the goddess of accounting, architecture, astronomy, astrology, building, mathematics, and surveying.

* **Animal Motif**: Cheetahs.
* **Belligerent Sexual Tension**: She and Thoth bicker about every single thing when they're together, yet they can't help to fall for each other as they keep hanging out. Phoebe can't decide if they bicker because they're close or can't stand each other.
* **Friend to All Children**: Her fondness for children is mentioned by Thoth.
* **Humanizing Tears**: Seshat is hotheaded and aggressive, but ends up bursting into tears and bawling like a child in very emotional moments. Some notable instances include when she reconciles with her mother, when she thinks her ribbon is destroyed, and when she accepts Thoth's confession.
* **It Was a Gift**: The reason she always wears the same hair bow is because it was one of the few presents her mother ever gave her. She treasures it so much that she refuses to get a new one even from her mother. The later revelation that Thoth inspired her to ask for the ribbon from her mother in the first place makes her treasure it even more.
* **O.O.C. Is Serious Business**: Briefly losing her ribbon causes her to go into a depressive funk. The lack of her usual anger causes concern for everyone, including Ame, who is surprised when Seshat bursts into tears instead of yelling at her when she tries to rile her up.
* **Renaissance Man**: The description above is a good indicator that she has power over plenty of domains. Granted, she is a goddess.
* **Women Are Wiser**: Also is a goddess of wisdom, among other things.

### Thoth

* **Bookworm**: Obviously. He can read at an astounding speed, too.
* **Cleavage Window**: His shirt is unbuttoned, exposing his chest.
* **No Sense of Personal Space**: Has a tendency of invading Seshat's personal space whenever he's annoyed at her.
* **The Smart Guy**: Well renowned for his intelligence.
* **Wall Pin of Love**: Does this constantly to Seshat, though not always out of a romantic interest.

### Phoebe Ma'at

* **Adaptational Attractiveness**: Justified, as Cleopatra VII, from what her depictions show, wasn't actually that physically attractive, particularly her large nose. Her appeal actually came from her intelligence, knowledge, sociopolitical savvy, and conversational skills, which were what actually attracted Caesar and Antony. Her reputation as a seductress mostly came from Octavian creating the image of such to justify his declaration of war against Antony without making it look like yet another civil war . Further slander came from Dante Alighieri putting her and Antony in the second circle of Hell, where the lustful are sent.
* **Ambiguously Bi**: She likes handsome men, but she has a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship with Seshat, hinting that she's interested in girls too. She's gushing over Seshat and is seen breathing heavily when Seshat gives her an autograph.
* **Animal Motifs**: Snakes, particularly the treachery lying underneath the skin.
* **Combat Stilettos**: She wears a nice pair of high heels, and she uses them in a powerful effect in her attacks.
* **Cool and Unusual Punishment**: She punishes her underlings in some unusual (and fairly harmless) ways.
* **Dance Battler**: Flips, jumps, *moonwalks*...
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: She's very sharp-tongued, and a bit of a sadist, but also very kind; apparently it is one of the reasons she is one of the most desirable women of the time. She's not very subtle about it, though.
* **Polyglot**: Phoebe was educated in the Royal Library and can speak 9 languages.

### Athena Pallas

* **Animal Motifs**: Often associated with owls, especially the little owl (*Athene noctua*).
* **Badass Bookworm**: The epitome of brawny brainy beauty.
* **Berserk Button**: She really doesn’t take kindly to being disrespected.
* **Big Sister Instinct**: At times, she has been shown to be quite protective of her younger siblings, especially those who aren't related to Hera (because Hera being Hera, she would often try to kill her husband's illegitimate children). Sometimes, Athena would even go behind the backs of Zeus and Hera to discreetly protect them from Hera's wrath (Heracles and Dionysus's stories both have Athena intervening to save them from Hera at one point or another).
* **Blood Knight**: She is described as such.
* **Born as an Adult**: From her father's *skull*, no less!
* **Brother–Sister Team**: Often teamed up with Hermes due to them being among Zeus's favorite children.
* **By-the-Book Cop**: As a goddess who supports justice, she will help people as long as they are following the rules and/or striving to right injustice. But breaking them means she will allow no mercy. When she was tired of mortals and their cycles of revenge, she helped to invent the jury system.
* **Chest Burster**: More like *skull* burster, as she was born out of Zeus's head.
* **City Mouse**: While Artemis is a goddess of the wilderness, Athena is a goddess of civilization and of the crafts associated with it. And of course the patroness of Athens which naturally considered itself the epitome of civilization.
* **Cool Big Sis**: She is the oldest child of Zeus and loves her younger siblings well (except Ares). In turn, for the most part, they also respected her for helping them when they needed it. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, she and Artemis are both listed as Persephone's playmates, implying that she was close with her half-sisters.
* **Daddy's Girl**: She is intensely loyal to Zeus. During the Typhon vs. Zeus story, she and Hermes were the only Gods who didn't flee when Typhon arrived.
* **Foil**: To Ares. Both are war deities, but they embody opposing aspects of it. Ares is the god of the bloodshed part of war and is therefore dumb and violent while Athena is the goddess of the tactical part and is therefore smart and calculating.
* **Immortal Genius**: Has a vast list of inventions attributed to her, including everything from chariots to flutes.
* **Lady of War**: A graceful goddess who rivaled Aphrodite and Hera in beauty, as well as a fierce and powerful war deity.
* **Legacy Character**: She is the daughter of Zeus and his first wife Metis, being this to her mother, since Metis was the *original* goddess/titaness of wisdom.
* **Master of Threads**: As the goddess of industry, she invented weaving.
* **Naked First Impression**: The prophet Tiresias was a son of her attendants who accidentally stumbled on her bathing and was blinded when Athena covered his eyes. As she could not restore his sight, she gave him a long life, the ability to understand the language of birds, and his gift of prophecy. Contrast this with Artemis and Actaeon below. Same initial transgression, *horrifyingly different consequences*.
* **The Owl-Knowing One**: She's associated with owls to symbolize her wisdom. Or perhaps owls are associated with wisdom because they were associated with her. Or maybe both she and owls were associated with wisdom because they were associated with Athens (which had a reputation for learning on one hand and had an unusually large population of Little Owls on the other).
* **Pals with Jesus**: She was known for taking a shine to various mortal heroes who displayed both courage and smarts, especially Diomedes and Odysseus, and repeatedly helped them in their adventures.
* **Parental Favoritism**: She's Zeus's favorite child, one of the many things that lead to her and Ares's Sibling Rivalry listed above.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: With Ares, her fellow war god. Athena is the blue, being the (usually) calm and logical goddess of wisdom, while Ares is the fiery and bloodthirsty red.
* **The Rival**: With Poseidon, over which of them would be patron god of Athens. She offered an olive tree, while Poseidon offered a saltwater spring, and the Athens people chose her because her gift was more useful.
* **Secret Test of Character**: Sometimes, she can give these to measure the worth of a person before directly interacting with them. For example, when she heard of Arachne's boastful claims of having better weaving skills than the gods, Athena decided to meet her and test her character to see if she was really as arrogant as she seemed (because being the goddess of wisdom, Athena didn't want to be rash in judging mortals). And if Arachne failed the test, then Athena would instead try to subtly give Arachne advice about toning down her hubris before she gets into trouble. Of course, in order for her test of character to work, Athena took on the form of an elderly woman and visited Arachne directly, without Arachne knowing it was Athena...at first. Due to her ego, Arachne failed the test and wouldn't listen to the advice. Naturally, Arachne was surprised when Athena got exasperated with her antics and then decided to reveal her true form. Afterwards, they started their legendary tapestry weaving contest.
* **Sibling Rivalry**: She and Ares are constantly at each-other's throats but she still acknowledges him as someone Diomedes should avoid pissing off... without help at least.
* **The Smart Gal**: She is the Goddess of Wisdom.
* **The Stoic**: While truly passionate about justice deep down inside, she never lets them cloud her judgment.
* **Virgin Power**: One of three virgin goddesses. However, whether that specifically means "never had sex" or "never married" isn't made entirely clear (its stated that she had an unspecified close relationship with Tiresias's mother Chariclo).
* **War Goddess**: One of the first and prime examples. Possibly the first mythical Lady of War.
* **War Is Glorious**: Athena represents the elements of war coming together both strategically and beautifully.
* **Western Zodiac**: Traditionally associated with Aries, as an intellectual sign.

### Hermes

The messenger god and a Trickster God, Hermes is a good friend and a bad enemy. He is also the god of travelers, shepherds, cowherds, thieves, wit, written language, literature, commerce, cunning, and luck.

* **Beauty Equals Goodness**: One of the few gods who didn't judge people based on beauty, as his own son Pan is a half-goat.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: If Hermes doesn't like someone there's a damned good reason for it. (Though he still steals from people he's on good terms with like Apollo or Hades.)
* **Brother–Sister Team**: Was often teamed up with Athena due to them both being among Zeus's favorite children.
* **Distaff Counterpart**: Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, also shares the role of the messenger with him.
* **Guile Hero**: He's known for his sly tongue, and is the god of orators, speakers and politicians.
* **The Heart**: He is not only a messenger but a mediator, which is reflected in the downright paradoxical list of things he presides over (thieves and merchants, prophesy and lies, hawks, and tortoises).
* **Jack-of-All-Trades**: Hermes' payroll is *huge*, to say the least. He is the god of messengers, heralds, roads, journeys, boundaries, communication, trade, commerce, finance, orators, writing, eloquence, trickery, wit, cunning, thieves, flocks and herds, athletes, sports, speed, and also serves as a psychopomp.
* **Like Father, Like Son**: His mother, the Pleiad Maia, was mentioned as being quite shy and avoiding Ascim, which is how she escaped Hera's wrath.
* **Loveable Rogue**: He deceives, cheats, steals, and whatnot, but is generally thought to be and portrayed as one of the nicest gods.
* **Shipper on Deck**: Of Athena and Odysseus, and Eurydice and Orpheus.
* **Staff of Authority**: His winged staff, the caduceus.
* **Super Speed**: One of his most notable traits.
* **The Trickster**: Hermes is known for being devious, and got into mischief literally the day he was born. One of his most famous myths involves literally talking someone to death.
* **Trickster God**: The resident one for the Greek pantheon. Unlike many trickster gods, he doesn't go out of his way to screw over gods or mortals, and most of his tricks amount to harmless pranks. In fact, he's particularly likely to help mortals out.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**: He butchered a tortoise, used the guts and body parts to make a lyre, stole an entire herd of cattle from Apollo, sacrificed two of the cows, and then covered his tracks, *all on the day he was born*. Granted, he is a god, and he's shown to be well-adjusted in most of his appearances.
* **Unstoppable Mailman**: He's the Messenger of the Gods, too curious to resist any challenge, and too smart to be thwarted.
* **Western Zodiac**: He’s associated with Cancer, likely because of his role as Psychopomp. Traditional astrology associates him with Gemini, the sign of intellect and communication, which is ruled by Mercury.
* **Wild Card**: In accordance to being the God of thieves and luck, Hermes often does things on a whim, which can mean either good or bad things depending on the situation. That said, this was downplayed in that he was always loyal to Zeus and the Ascimians.

### The Fates

A trio of goddesses: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. They are the daughters of Gaia. They determine fate and control the life cycle. Clotho would determine when someone is born by spinning a length of thread on a spinning wheel, Lachesis would allot the length of time a person had to live by measuring the thread, and Atropos would sever the thread with a pair of shears when it was time for them to die.

* **Action Girl**: They fought in the war between the Gods and Giants and killed Agrios and Thoon with bronze maces.
* **Above the Gods**: They have dominion over the destinies of *everyone*, including the gods themselves, giving them a higher cosmic authority than even Zeus.
* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: More than just deities that control fate, they *are* fate.
* **Cool Old Lady**: They were feared, yes, but they would also help out gods and mortals, like warning Meleager's mother about his life being tied to a stick and aiding the Gods in the Gigantomachy and the fight against Typhon. Women would swear by them, and brides would offer them locks of hair.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: They sided with Zeus in his battle against Typhon and even tried to hinder Typhon by feeding him a poisonous fruit and telling him that it was a Power-Up Food.
* **Death's Hourglass**: The Thread of Life is a measurement of how long someone had to live. When it came for them to die, Atropos would cut the thread.
* **The Dreaded**: All three of them were feared by mortals and deities, especially Atropos.
* **Master of Threads**: The Fates are a trio of goddesses who control destiny through the thread they spin.
* **Meaningful Names**: Clotho, the name of she who spins the thread of life, means "the weaver". Lachesis, the name of the one who measures the thread, means "the distributor of lots". Atropos, the name of she who cuts the thread of life, means "the inevitable".
* **The Omnipotent**: As they are embodiments of fate, they can create any factor, or shape any event. Mortals and gods alike are subject to such events, being a god, at best, makes you aware of them.
* **The Omniscient**: They know everything. This of course, comes with the territory of being the Goddesses of Fate.
* **Powers That Be**: They are some of the only deities which don't just have the powers of something (In this case fate) but are the pure embodiment of it.
* **Seers**: As the Goddesses of Fate, they are capable of seeing the future.
* **Shear Menace**: Atropos and her life thread-cutting shears of destiny are the Trope Maker.
* **You Can't Fight Fate**: It's in Atropos' name. This is a big deal.

### Hestia

* **100% Adoration Rating**: The only deity in the *entire* pantheon whom everyone could not only tolerate but actively adore. Everyone from Athena, to Ares, to Zeus himself not only gets along with her but become obsessively smite-happy if anyone disrespected their dear aunt/sister. Just ask Priapus. When he saw her snoozing after a party, he tried to ravish her in her sleep but never got the chance to, since she woke up, saw him, screamed, and every single God rushed in to kick Priapus's ass; this *includes* Hades, who *never* interfered because he could wait for revenge.
* **Action Girl**: She fought against Cronus along with the rest of her siblings.
* **Actual Pacifist**: Post-Titanomachy, she is the only God who never really took part in the antics of her siblings.
* **All-Loving Hero**: The only deity in the entire pantheon that uniformly loves everyone and is loved in return by everyone, even the crueler gods such as Ares and Eris are fiercely protective of her since few others treat them nicely.
* **Almighty Janitor**: Both as a trope and quite literally. Hestia is one of the most powerful beings in her pantheon and she spends her days cooking, cleaning, and giving her family a shoulder to cry on.
* **Boring, but Practical**: Hestia is Out of Focus amongst the Gods because of her passive and uncontroversial nature compared to the Dysfunction Junction of the rest of her family and their more interesting domains, like nature, war, and justice. But the thing is that none of the other stuff matters if you have no home to return to, and as such, Hestia is a very important goddess.
* **Fire of Comfort**: Hestia's domain. She rarely partakes in stories due to having to keep the eternal celestial fire going, not that she minds, and the sound of fire crackling is said to be her laughter.
* **For Happiness**: In general, this was the mind-set her priestesses engaged in as well, acts of kindness purely to spread contentment.
* **God of Fire**: Hestia is the goddess of the hearth. Despite having one of the most destructive elements, she only uses fire to warm and cauterize. Being a goddess, even when she cauterizes wounds, she does so without pain.
* **Loved by All**: Hestia is a person loved and adored by her divine family which ranges from the likes of Hermès, Zeus and Eris among others. As demonstrated when they all united to beat the crap out of Priapus after he tried and failed to rape her.
* **Maiden Aunt**: To all of her siblings' *many* children.
* **Near-Rape Experience**: She is nearly raped by Priapus, but screams before he can do anything and the other gods come running. The other gods do *not* take it well. Turns out even Zeus has standards.
* **No-Sell / Immune to Mind Control**: She, along with fellow Virgin goddesses Athena and Artemis, were the only beings whose hearts Aphrodite had no power over. For context, not even Zeus or Aphrodite herself were immune.
* **Virgin Power**: One of the three virgin goddesses, along with Artemis and Athena.
* **White Magician Girl**: Since she does not fight, this was the role she took to help her kin.

### Persephone

* **100% Adoration Rating**: Persephone herself is feared and respected among the kingdom of the underworld as much as her husband is.
* **All Girls Want Bad Boys**: One would think this of the willing wife of Hades, but it's actually Subverted; Persephone couldn't stand the Ascim Gods' constant bickering, lying, and backstabbing, and the reason she ultimately fell for Hades was because of his honest—if somewhat blunt—nature.
* **Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other**: Outside of having a rough start, Hades and Persephone have a very happy marriage.
* **Dark Secret**: A flashback hints at something very ominous in her past that caused mortals to go from calling her Kore ("Maiden") to Persephone ("Bringer of Death"). So far what exactly happened hasn't been shown, but Hermes apparently knows and was bribed by Demeter into fudging the records of just *what* sent a number of human souls to the Underworld.
	+ What actually happened is gradually revealed throughout the story. At first we're lead to believe that she went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and murdered a number of innocent people when some people innocently picking flowers in a sacred garden leads to the deaths of Persephone's flower Nymph friends. It seems as though she even killed people who had nothing to do with it. This initial account later turns out to be a case of Unreliable Narrator. Hades knows for a fact that such a large number of people didn't suddenly die. Persephone did kill a number of mortals, but they had knowingly violated a pact with Demeter put in place to keep the flower Nymphs safe. They shoved Persephone to the ground after she was already at an emotional low point from an argument with her mother and seeing her friends die.
	+ This is further expanded, revealing that while she *did* (in a fit of rage) kill the mortal that had pushed her to the ground and mocked her, the shock after realizing her actions caused her to grow to massive size and made her powers go out of control. All other subsequent deaths came to pass as a consequence of the combination of these two factors, the panic which caught the mortals in the village as a result and Persephone trying to *save* the mortals, but being unable to control her powers and her strength in her new size, all whilst experiencing a *massive* Heroic BSoD.
* **Making Love in All the Wrong Places**: She and Hades got intimate by the banks of the river Cocytus, the same river which would become the birthplace of their daughter Melinoe.
* **Manic Pixie Dream Girl**: She is this for Hades, being a sweet, beautiful young woman who makes the gloomy Lord of the Dead's life a little brighter.
* **Meaningful Rename**: Was formerly called *Kore*, meaning "maiden"; after an unspecified incident, the mortals renamed her to *Persephone*, meaning *"bringer of death"*. Later it is revealed what she did to earn the name: after her flower-nymph childhood friends are killed by careless mortals, she shifts into a blood rage and kills one; afterwards, she loses control of her powers and accidentally massacres dozens more.
* **My Beloved Smother**: Has this sort of relationship with Demeter. While the two do love each other, Demeter is so overprotective that she's controlled almost every aspect of her daughter's life with little regard for how stifled Persephone feels. It's bad enough that Persephone has a nightmare of her mother locking her in a greenhouse with no doors in order to "keep her safe," and a big part of her development during the story involves figuring out what she wants from her life and finding the will to pursue it instead of going along with the life Demeter has planned for her.
* **My God, What Have I Done?**: She killed an entire village of mortals for the crime of only a few meddling in the sacred fields and has no idea whether or not those who did the picking actually DID know the fields were sacred. We still haven't seen what happened after the slaughter, but it's implied that she feels incredibly guilty over it. She gives coins to the shades on the shore of Styx out of penance for her actions leading to unnecessary deaths and improper burials, forcing those shades to wander Styx's shores for a hundred years.
* **Pretty Butterflies**: Dissolved into a bunch of these after kissing Hades.
* **Rose-Haired Sweetie**: Her color scheme is pink, including her hair, and she's a very sweet-natured and kindhearted person.
* **Something Else Also Rises**: When she sees Hades' godly form accidentally, all the flowers/plants across the world grow and burst into bloom/harvest.
	+ She turns to a swarm of butterflies after making out with him.

### Asenath — Goddess of Flowers

* **Berserk Button**: Since she sees her plants as her family, she despises anyone who would do them harm. Don’t give her drinks with fresh fruits or veggies in them either.
* **Death Seeker**: Possibly. A belief of hers is that flowers blossom so as to die a spectacular death, and that she accordingly pursued such an end for herself so as to add a bitterness to her memory that would grow with time.
* **Escapism**: She was a protector of "maddened monks and lost wanderers", and would provide them with wine and dance to escape pain.
* **Flower Motifs**: While she can speak with all kinds of plants, she’s specifically associated with lotuses, which were said to bloom at her feet whenever she dances.
* **Flying Broomstick**: Rides her staff in this way.
* **Graceful Ladies Like Purple**: She has a mature appearance and elegant movements, and is decked out in purple from head to toe.
* **Green Thumb**: Her powers allow her to speak with plants, and she summons lotus flowers in battle.
* **Sideboob**: Given how well endowed she is, her outfit shows a lot of this.
* **Talking to Plants**: Her powers allow her to speak with plants of all kinds.

### Ramil II — The Scarlet King

* **Flower Motifs**: Ramil carries a humble lotus—the very same flower favored by his dearest lover, Asenath.
* **Start of Darkness**: The death of the Goddess of Flowers drove him mad from grief, dooming both himself and his city as he became obsessed with immortality.
* **Supernatural Gold Eyes**: They're likely highlighting his divinity.

### Demeter

Goddess of the harvest and "life" parts of the life-and-death cycle. Her name literally means "Earth Mother" (de + meter).

* **An Ice Person**: To Person of Mass Destruction levels, but only when she gets pissed. Demeter's wrath and grief at losing her daughter Persephone to Hades is what causes winter.
* **Animal Motifs**: Associated with pigs and snakes.
* **An Offer You Can't Refuse**: Makes one of these to Hermes after he witnessed *something* related to Persephone. She paid him, of course, but also left no room to doubt what would happen to him if word ever got out.
* **Appetite Equals Health**: When Persephone is kidnapped, she falls into rage and depression, and accordingly stops to eat and drink.
* **Bizarre Taste in Food**: Ate human meat. Granted, she did not know what is was, but apparently it didn't taste off to her.
* **Brother–Sister Incest**: Big time. She and Zeus are the parents of Persephone.
* **Empathic Environment**: When Persephone was first kidnapped, and every time she leaves for Hades, nature dies and nothing grows, reflecting Demeter's emotions and state of mind.
* **The Famine**: What she caused as a bargaining chip in order to get her kidnapped daughter back.
* **Fertility God**: Comes with her being a goddess of agriculture.
* **Fill It with Flowers**: The earth after Persephone is returned.
* **Fisher Queen**: As detailed in the myth of how Persephone was kidnapped to be Hades' wife. Demeter's depression caused winter, the freezing season when plants cannot grow. Though after she found out where she was she deliberately kept the plants from growing as a way of holding the world as ransom.
* **Flowers of Femininity**: *The* goddess of plants and flowers. The poppy in particular was sacred to her.
* **Food God**: As goddess of agriculture, and while she is not the goddess in charge of animals, they *do* rely on her plants and crops to thrive.
* **Forgets to Eat**: While Persephone was gone, she did not eat or drink. This led her to getting exhausted and thirsty, so when she finally asked for some drink, she drank very clumsily. Ascalabus mocked her over that, and she turned him into a gecko.
* **Gaia's Vengeance**: Not very smart to anger her, unless of course you like starving from a lack of crops.
	+ Once, a mortal king named Erysichthon decided it was a good idea to chop down all of the trees in Demeter's sacred grove, killing a dryad nymph in the process. Demeter answered by sending Limos to curse him with insatiable hunger, and no matter how much he ate, he always craved for more. He ended up eating himself.
* **Green Thumb**: Obviously, as the goddess of the harvest.
* **I'm a Humanitarian**: Accidentally. Tantalus once served his own butchered son to the gods. They all saw through this except for Demeter, who took a bite out of his shoulder. It’s justified since she was too distracted by her grief over Persephone's abduction to notice.
* **I Want Grandkids**: Demeter expresses a desire for Persephone to have children with Apollon. It doesn't come to pass.
	+ **Demeter**: But going up to the fruitful bed of Apollon, you’ll have splendid children, with countenances of flaming fire.
* **Like Mother, Like Daughter**: Is an earth and fertility goddess like her mother Rhea. Also counts as a father-daughter version, since Cronus too is a god associated with the harvest and the earth.
* **Mama Bear**: She almost destroyed humanity when her daughter went missing. Dare to do anything to Persephone, and she'll come at you.
* **Meaningful Name**: The *meter* part of her name means "mother." Some scholars suggested that the *de-* element means "earth", so that her name would translate to "mother earth," but this is far less certain.
* **Missing Child**: Her daughter is away for many months a year.
* **Mood-Swinger**: Put the polar in bipolar, her mood changing being what affects the seasons. She's usually pretty nice, but falls into sorrow when her daughter has to leave for the Underworld.
* **Nature Is Not Nice**: Though not outright cruel. She is not the type of nature goddess to punish you for eating, say, beef - after all animals eating other animals is normal... but, by that same logic, guess how many craps she gives about hunters that pray for help after getting cornered by wolves.
* **Obnoxious In-Laws**: She obviously does not like Hades for kidnapping her daughter and keeping them separate for 3/4 of the year.
* **Pay Evil unto Evil**: The Horror Hunger she asked Limos to inflict on Erysichthon destroyed him in a horrific fashion, but this was after he cut down a sacred grove for no apparent reason, and *personally* cut down a tree that was obviously the most sacred - even as it became increasingly obvious this tree was an innocent dryad that was a personal favorite employee of hers.
* **Person of Mass Destruction**: While this applies to all the Children of Cronus, Demeter is of special note because, once she goes into Berserk Mode, she does not care about the balance of nature, obligations, or even human-life. Zeus is terrified once she starts creating a famine, because he realizes she can not be bribed, threatened or reasoned with until she gets Persephone back and would think nothing of destroying all life on earth until then.
* **Revenge**: When Erysichthon caused the death of one of her dryad nymphs, Demeter took revenge by sending one of her nymphs to Limos, who then cursed him with insatiable hunger until he ate himself to death.
* **Screw the Rules, I Have Money!**: Pays Hermes handsomely to forge the Underworld's records of soul intaking to cover up Persephone's act of wrath.
* **Shipper on Deck**: For Psyche and Eros during Psyche's attempt to reunite with her husband. She's also this for Persephone and Apollon, though we ALL know how that turned out. This, interestingly, clashes with others, where Demeter chases away any guy who had his eye on her, averting this trope.
* **Sitcom Archnemesis**: As goddess of food, Demeter's natural opposite is Limos, the god/goddess of starvation. In fact she and Limos live as far away from each other as possible. Though this didn't stop Demeter from asking for their help when she wanted to punish Erysichthon with insatiable hunger.
* **Tranquil Fury**: Demeter was *depressed* by Persephone vanishing. Erysichthon killing a nymph she was fond of out of petty ego to show up his men made her angry, and her expression does not change as she calmly orders a messenger to find Limos, goddess of starvation, to make his life a living hell.
* **Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds**: Starving the entire world? Definitely extreme. Starving the entire world because your daughter went missing and neither of the parties involved, your brothers, even bothered to inform you? Still extreme, but understandable.

### Hephaestus

* **Good Scars, Evil Scars**: Scars litter his body, likely the result from his fall from Ascim. These and his right eye are some of the key differences between him and Talos, whose skin possesses none of Hephaestus’ scars.
* **Love Makes You Evil**: Well, not evil, so much as desperate and extreme. Hephaestus has a resolve in protecting Aphrodite at any cost, even it means killing anyone who could even remotely pose a threat to her, even and especially including himself.
* **Magical Eye**: His first sacred artifact, a right eye that grants him the ability to identify the flaws of anything he gazes upon, which allows him to create nearly flawless inventions and weapons. This greatly aids in his work as an engineer and blacksmith as he can always ensure his inventions of the highest specs and in the case where they do fail, identify and immediately improve upon those flaws.
* **Navel-Deep Neckline**: Hephaestus wears his mechanic overalls with the zipper completely undone, thus showing off his expansive chest and abs.
* **Parental Abandonment**: Just like in myth, Hephaestus was abandoned at birth by Hera due to his crippled legs.
* **Self-Deprecation**: Hephaestus is seemingly entirely incapable of loving himself.

### Ishtar

* **Femme Fatale**: She promised Gilgamesh good fortune if he became her lover. As Gilgamesh pointed out, her previous lovers came to horrific ends.
* **The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry**: She was the "beautiful sister" to Ereshkigal's "smart sister".
* **Incest Subtext**: She was extremely close to her twin brother Utu/Shamash, to the point that their relationship frequently bordered on incestuous.
* **Mood-Swinger**: She was a goddess of love by night, but goddess of war by day, which is partly why Gilgamesh didn't want to sleep with her.
* **Really Gets Around**: She had a Long List of lovers, all of whom died ironic deaths.
* **War Goddess**: She was also a goddess of war, though she did have standards, such as not condoning mass genocide.

### Bastet

* **Animal Motifs**: She appears as a small cat.
* **Cat Folk**: Possibly the Ur-Example, Bast is a humanoid with cat ears and tail.
* **Cat Stereotype**: She's a curious Cat Girl who enjoys boxes, climbing on things, scratching up furniture to sharpen her claws, and catching fish.
* **Expressive Ears**: Her ears droop when she gets sad.
* **Fantastic Arousal**: By her own admission, her ears are quite sensitive. She very much sounds and looks as though she likes it. *A lot.*
* **Friend to All Children**: As a deity who protects the household, she is also associated with the welfare of the common folk's children.
* **Half-Human Hybrid**: Has cat ears and is the goddess of cats.
* **The High Queen**: Played with. She is incredibly beautiful, a skilled fighter, notoriously wise, and respected by all... but also a cheerful, bubbly dork most of the time.
* **Kid-Appeal Character**: She is associated with children due to her role as a household protector, making her perhaps an Older Than Dirt example of this.
* **The Lancer**: Bastet takes the role as Ra's primary champion against Apophis.
* **Ms. Fanservice**: She's basically wearing a bikini dancer outfit the entire time! She's quite well-endowed, as well.
* **Stripperific**: Starts off wearing what could be described as a bikini/dancer outfit. She also wears a cape with a hood sometimes... but conveniently left open in the front to keep showing off her generous assets.
* **Statuesque Stunner**: She stands at 173 cm.

## Titans

### Selene

The Titan goddess of the Moon. Specifically, she is the goddess who drives the chariot of the moon across the sky. Sister of Helios and Eos (all offspring of Hyperion) and the most well-known of the three, if only because her name makes for an elegant allusion and looks very French (the "e" at the end is not silent).

* **Action Girl**: According to Nonnus' *Dionysiaca*, she fought against the freaking Typhon, which is why the Moon has craters. Badass indeed.
	+ She also appears in the Pergamon Altar fighting against the Giants during the Gigantomachy.
* **Animal Motifs**: She is associated with bulls and mules.
* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Unlike Artemis and Hecate, Selene is *literally* the Moon itself. This is reflected in her names: Selene and Luna are the Greek and Latin words for "moon".
* **Berserk Button**: Don't compare yourself to her. Ampelus, who was given a bull to drive like her own, found out the hard way. She sent a gadfly to sting the bull, and then bull ended up goring him to death.
* **Celestial Body**: Her legs give way to a dark blue starry night sky right at the top of her thighs, but her clothes cover anything more. Her second form extends this to her entire right leg and left arm, but her exclusive true form makes her entire (naked) body out of black starry cosmos.
* **Chariot Pulled by Cats**: Her chariot is sometimes pulled by two horses like Helios' own, but in other writings it's two white bulls instead, or she even rides a mule.
* **Cool Car**: Her lunar chariot.
* **Deface of the Moon**: The moon got its craters during her battle with Typhon (or from rocks Typhon threw at Zeus, who dodged).
* **God of the Moon**: She is the personification of the Moon itself. Mirroring her brother, the sun god Helios, she is described as driving a shining chariot across the sky every night, representing the movement of the Moon. Even today, her name is the Greek word for the Moon, while Luna's name is the basis for most moon-related terminology.
* **The Hecate Sisters**: In some parts of Greece she came to became part of a trinity like this, seen as a triple goddess who is "Selene in Heaven, Artemis on Earth and Hecate in the Underworld"
* **Love Goddess**: Kinda. Lovesick young women would pray to Selene to help them.
* **Lunacy**: The Trope Namer - the Romans thought epilepsy as well as madness was caused by the moon. On the other side of the coin, a full moon was thought to cause easier childbirths (quite a desirable claim considering the risks of childbirth even today, let alone in ancient times). Naturally, this makes the moon quite a femininity symbol by the Greeks' reckoning since childbirth is, of course, one of the most feminine actions ever.
* **Male Sun, Female Moon**: She and Helios are some of the oldest and well-known examples.
* **Meaningful Name**: Her name is, of course, the Greek word for the moon, and literally translates to "luminous one."
* **Naginatas Are Feminine**: Her weapon is actually closer to a glaive than a naginata.
* **Night and Day Duo**: With Helios.
* **Nosy Neighbor**: She's a busybody who spies on people at night.
* **Sibling Yin-Yang**: With both her siblings, Helios and Eos, who are daylight deities, while she is a nocturnal goddess associated with the moon. *Literally* night and day duo.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: If her relationship with Artemis is anything to go by.
* **Solar and Lunar**: Selene and Helios are this.
* **Spell My Name with an S**: In Doric and Aeolic Greek her name is spelled Selana and Selanna respectively.

## Nymphs

Beautiful female nature spirits, considered desirable maids by mortals and gods alike. There were many subgroupings of nymphs, but the most famous were the Hesperides (sunset nymphs who tend the garden with the golden apples), Dryades (tree spirits), Naiads, Nereids, Oceanids (different kinds of water nymphs), and the Pleiades (nymphs of the Pleiades constellation). Some types of nymph served as attendants to gods, like the Lampads (who followed Hecate around) and the Maenads (crazed nymphs who partied with Dionysus).

* **The Ageless**: Usually portrayed as being eternally youthful.
* **Born as an Adult**: The Meliae Dryades were born fully formed from the Earth via the blood of Uranus.
* **Depending on the Writer**: Their status as gods. As a group, nymphs are often treated as a separate (and lesser) species to gods but individually several nymphs are outright said to be goddesses (notably Amphitrite, Calypso, Chloris and Thetis). So whether nymphs count as minor gods or something else is anyone's guess.
* **The Fair Folk**: Do remember that a farmer does *not* live In Harmony with Nature; that is a conceit of city folk. Nature brings blights and floods, and Nymphs know how to arrange such things when they get irritated at a farmer's disrespect.
* **Fairy Sexy**: Ever wonder where the word "nymphomaniac" originated? Now you do.
* **Inhumanly Beautiful Race**: Their most famous trait is their youthful, irresistible appearance.
* **Ms. Fanservice**: It could be said the species wears this as their hat, since they are considered extremely desirable, almost always depicted naked in paintings and statues, and very sexually liberated, hence the term "nymphomania" though there are exceptions such as the ones that follow Artemis and wished to remain chaste. Still, there is a good reason why several heroes and Gods took them as wives and lovers respectively.
* **Nature Spirit**: Some of them, such as Dryades, Naiads, Nereids, and Oceanids.
* **Odd Job Gods**: One interpretation of nymphs is that they're minor goddess of specific parts of nature; a Dryad is the goddess of a particular tree (or grove of trees), a potamides is goddess of a single river, and an Oread is a goddess of one mountain.
* **One-Gender Race**: Pretty much all of them are female.
* **Our Nymphs Are Different**: Classic myth is the Trope Maker and Trope Namer. Nymphs — *nymphe* — are a major class of semi-divine creatures, essentially minor female deities who watch over landscapes and natural landmarks. They're often depicted as the lovers, mothers or daughters of various heroes and divinities, and come in a staggering variety of types associated with specific landforms and environments.
	+ Aurae are nymphs of winds and breezes; some texts treat them as a singular being, Aura, the daughter of the titan Lelantos.
	+ Dryads (*druas*) are the nymphs of trees. Originally, the term specifically referred to the nymphs of oak trees (drys, in Ancient Greek), before expanding to tree nymphs in general; the nymphs associated with other trees had their own specific names — meliads for ash trees, for instance. Hamadryads were a subtype who were associated with one individual tree, rather than forests and trees in general, and perished if that tree was cut down.
	+ The Hesperides were the nymphs of the twilight and the West. There were only three, who guarded Iduna’s golden apples in a garden in the utmost west of the world.
	+ The Hyades were a group of nymphs who brought rain.
	+ The lampads were the nymphs of the Underworld, and accompanied Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft and magic, in her nightly travels.
	+ Naiads presided over freshwaters. They were further subdivided into numerous types associated with specific water bodies, such as limnads (lakes), potamides (rivers) and pegasides (springs). They were often associated with river gods, who were either their fathers, their sons, or just generally their male equivalents.
	+ Nereids are the nymphs of the seas, particularly the Aegean and the Mediterranean as a whole. They were strongly associated with Poseidon, whom they often accompanied. Some myths describe them as the daughters of the sea god Nereus, hence their name, and the Oceanid Doris.
	+ Oceanids, despite what the name would make you think, were the nymphs of both fresh and salt water, as well as rain. They numbered three thousand and were the daughters of the titans Oceanus and Tethys, and sisters of the three thousand river gods the two titans had also begat.
	+ The oreads are the nymphs of the mountains, and are associated with Artemis.
	+ The seven Pleiades, another group of daughters of Atlas, were companions to Artemis and were at some point transformed into the stars that bear their name.
	+ Individual nymphs include Amphitrite, a nereid and Poseidon's wife; Echo, who was cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat what others said and eventually faded away to only a disembodied voice and Metis, an Oceanid and Athena's mother. There's also a running theme of nymphs being transformed into plants after misadventures involving the gods — Daphne, for instance, was a naiad who was pursued by an amorous Apollo, prayed to her river god father for escape and was transformed in to a laurel tree; the naiad Minthe tried to seduce Hades and was turned into the first mint plant by a furious Persephone; the dryad Syrinx met a similar fate to Daphne's, being transformed into a river reed by her sisters to escape Pan; the oread Pytis  was transformed into a pine tree under the same circumstances.
* **Our Elves Are Different**: They share some traits with elves, what with their enchanting looks, eternal youth, and close relationship with nature.
* **Our Fairies Are Different**: They're usually shown to be the benevolent type, being beautiful, playful nature spirits, but some of them, like the Maenads, are more similar to The Fair Folk.
* **Painting the Frost on Windows**: Nymphs were often held responsible for making natural phenomena occur; the Aurae caused breezes, the Hyades brought rain, and so on.
* **So Beautiful, It's a Curse**: Many nymphs found themselves getting the wrong sort of attention and becoming victims of rape by male deities and monsters. Arethusa was relentlessly pursued by the river god Alpheus, Daphne was almost raped by Apollo and Galateia was desired by the cyclops Polyphemus, who crushed her lover Alcis with a boulder out of mad jealousy.
* **Spontaneous Generation**: The Meliae were born from the blood of Uranus when it spilled upon the Earth.
* **Water Is Womanly**: The nereids are sea nymphs and symbolic of the sea's kindness and beauty, singing melodious songs as they dance around their father Nereus and appearing as gorgeous women.

## Legendary beasts, spirits and miscellaneous creatures

### Apophis

Apophis is the embodiment of chaos and god of darkness, storms, earthquakes, and basically anything harmful. Residing in the underworld where he feasted on wayward souls, he also attacked Ra and his entourage as they traveled through said realm, using his hypnotic gaze before trying to swallow them.

* **0% Approval Rating**: Apophis is hated and feared by every god out there. He is so terrible that even other chaos gods detest him, and he is the only deity in the Egyptian pantheon known to have been explicitly prayed *against* — every recovered prayer about him is about wishing for his hindrance and defeat. There was even an entire *guide* to opposing him, *The Books of Overthrowing Apophis*, whose prayers described a gradual process of wishing for Apophis's defeat and dismemberment.
* **Cessation of Existence**: He inflicts this on those souls he devours.
* **Chaos Is Evil**: Explicitly described as a being of chaos, and Apophis seeks the End of the World as We Know It.
* **Dark Is Evil**: He was explicitly called the god of darkness, which is a major component of his portfolio.
* **Destroyer Deity**: Apophis is a primordial enemy who dislikes the other gods' creating and ordering of the universe and tries to devour Ra and all light & life every night to return the world back to its primordial chaos. Apophis is sufficiently bad that Set, the notoriously ill-tempered and nasty god of chaos and storms (and a frequent "bad guy" in Egyptian myths), despises him. Apophis is notably the only god in the Egyptian pantheon who was prayed against.
* **Draconic Abomination**: A huge Lovecraftian serpent.
* **Dragons Are Demonic**: A gigantic evil serpent who opposes the gods.
* **The Dreaded**: So much so that he was the only deity actively prayed AGAINST, and that there were whole books dedicated to attacking and repelling him.
* **Eldritch Abomination**: A primordial being born from Ra's umbilical cord that represents everything awful about the world. Also an Animalistic Abomination, since Apophis is a being of chaos and destruction in the shape of a massive serpent, and no matter how many times Apophis is slain, he always comes back.
* **God of Evil**: Actually a god who was unquestionably pure evil, and not worshiped at all.
* **The Great Serpent**: Possibly the Ur-Example.
* **Hated by All**: All the other gods (including Set) opposed him and mortals actively prayed against him.
* **Hate Sink**: To put thing in perspective, Apophis was never prayed *to* by the Egyptians, only prayed *against*. Priests would even make icons of Apophis just to step or spit on them.
* **Hypnotic Eyes**: Used this to lure the gods in before eating them. Only Bastet could resist it.
* **Invincible Villain**: Bastet can destroy Apophis as many times as she likes, but all Bast is doing is merely delaying the inevitable annihilation of light and life, thanks to Apophis's Resurrective Immortality.
* **Names to Run Away from Really Fast**: A few of the titles given by people praying against him include *Serpent From The West*, *Evil Lizard,* *Lord Of Chaos,* *The World Encircler,* *Bringer of Darkness,* *Devourer of the Sun,* *Enemy of Ra,* and even, simply, "The Enemy." There is evidence to suggest he was also called *Eater of Souls,* though this title was not exclusive to him. A debatably subverted example would be his epithet *Serpent of Rebirth,* which without context sounds ambivalent if not pleasant.
* **Omnicidal Maniac**: He sought to reduce the entire universe to a void by destroying all light and life in existence.
* **Order Versus Chaos**: Firmly on the chaos side, with Ra representing order.
* **Our Dragons Are Different**: This one's a gigantic snake that wants to eat the sun because he hates all life.
* **The Scottish Trope**: You weren't even supposed to say his name.
* **Snakes Are Sinister**: A malevolent being of chaos and darkness in the shape of a snake. Can't get any more evil than that.
* **Soul Eating**: Any souls who get lost on their way to the afterlife are also devoured by Apophis.
* **Super-Persistent Predator**: Bastet spent years trying to kill him, and then she realized she would have to face him again and again for all eternity.
* **The Undead**: He lives in the land of the dead and therefore cannot be slain.

### Cerberus

An offspring of Echidna and Typhon (Second born by Hesiod's reckoning). A three-headed hound. Unlike his siblings, Hades took him as a guard dog of his realm. He prevents mortals from entering the underworld and keeps the dead inside. The king of the underworld cared about his pet dog well. He is arguably the strongest of his siblings as he defeats an escaped titan unaided and drags them back to Tartarus.

* **Angry Guard Dog**: He guards the Gates of the Underworld, ensuring that the living didn't get in and the dead didn't get out.
* **Amplified Animal Aptitude**: Towards Hades, Persephone and even Hercules. He clearly understands speech and emotion. It's unclear if this inborn or due to Hades' training.
* **Big Friendly Dog**: While next to his master, he’s essentially an overgrown dog leaning into being pet. Of course, he was still dangerous to those trying to break in or out of the Underworld.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: He may be a forerunner of the hellhound, but the fact is that sometimes the dead don't realize they are dead. By keeping them in, Cerberus manages to prevent whatever trouble they would have caused and ultimately is a hero in his own right.
* **Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?**: Managed to take down and maul the crap out of Koios, who was one of the Elder Titans, when he tried to break out of Tartarus.
* **Fluffy the Terrible**: His name translates as "spotted"... or "Spot", you might say.
* **Gate Guardian**: He's the one keeping the souls of the dead in the Underworld.
* **Hell Hound**: Surely one of the most famous examples! Cerberus is a giant, three-headed hound that guards the gates of the land of the dead.
* **Names to Run Away from Really Fast**: According to others, his name is derived from kêr and erebos, which would roughly translate to "Death-Daemon of Darkness". It's also possible that his name means "Flesh-Devouring", which is fitting for a beast of the underworld since the earth "eats" bodies of the dead.
* **Non-Malicious Monster**: One of the few sapient examples. Quite deadly and fierce but largely non-evil — he's a well trained pet specifically tasked with guarding his master's home and tends to spit out the souls of anything he catches.
* **Punch-Clock Villain**: Vicious hellhound though he may be, he is ultimately just on guard-duty. Don't try to escape/break-in and he will leave you be.
* **Sole Survivor**: He's the only child of Echidna and Typhon that's yet to be slain — obviously because Hades owns him.
* **Sweet Tooth**: The tale of Psyche had the girl get past him using cake. She was advised to use it because others had succeeded before with the same ploy.
* **Token Good Teammate**: Probably the only one of Typhon and Echidna's offspring who is never claimed to be malicious or evil.

### Garmr

Hel's dog, who guards the gates to her realm.

* **Angry Guard Dog**: The guard dog of Hel.
* **Hell Hound**: Or Hel Hound, as the case may be.

### Nidhoggr

* **Names to Run Away from Really Fast**: Its name means "Malice-striker." He is also referred to as "*the dragon of the gloom*".

## Demons

### Cain

*The* Cain, the elder brother of Abel, and the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. He is an extremely powerful demon who even scares the hell out of Keres.

* **Berserk Button**: Cain doesn't like when people speak ill of Deyanira. It's also implied he doesn't like when Deyanira talks, or even just barely interacts, with other guys.
* **Biblical Bad Guy**: He's the actual Cain from Old Testament times, having murdered Abel and become a demon afterwards.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: As a part of his Yandere personality, he refuses to share Deyanira with anyone and is intensely jealous of all her admirers.
* **The Lost Lenore**: His wife Deyanira is this for him.
* **Rapunzel Hair**: Has very long dark hair past his waist.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: Cain is an extreme example. He only has eyes for Deyanira. It doesn't matter how many other nice girls he meets, or what Deyanira's sex, sexuality, or gender actually *is*.
* **Superpower Lottery**: Being a very old demon as well as a True Demon will give you a power boost.
* **Yandere**: Zigzagged. On the one hand, Cain is one for Deyanira, having the unhealthy and violent obsession for her down pat, and is completely unfazed at the prospect of having to Murder the Hypotenuse so that no one will steal her away from him. On the other hand, Cain distinctly lacks the typical sweet, cutesy personality that often serves as a yandere's mask.

### Deyanira

Deyanira worked in the secretarial pool of Heaven until God chose her as His Scribe. God had Deyanira create the Word, tablets with instructions on His creations. However, Deyanira was, at some point, turned into a demon by Lucifer.

* **Badass Bookworm**: Deyanira really just wanted to sit around and read the stories, and is also extremely smart. That won't stop her from killing a couple of people she believed to have been harassing her daughter with her *bare hands*.
* **Badass Pacifist**: Keres described Deyanira as this; she was genuinely against the idea of violence, and even made Lucifer and Erebus form a truce. Yet she was also incredibly strong and could kick major butt.
* **Bookworm**: She really loves books, so much so that she had them delivered by the dozen and exchanged in enhanced life spans for regular stories.
* **The Chessmaster**: Though she may not seem like it at first. She knows exactly what she's doing, and is secretly an amazing manipulator, even more so than EREBUS, a master of deception and manipulation.
* **Clueless Dude Magnet**: Doesn't seem to realize the affection of many men around her. Eventually subverted once it's revealed she is *very much* aware of the way men view her, and uses it to her advantage whenever the opportunity arises.
* **Cute But Psycho**: She's genuinely a sweet and kind woman who loved her daughter above all else, but she also possessed a dark side where she is fine with lying, manipulating and killing others, even her own siblings, if it furthered her objectives.
* **The Fake Cutie**: Acts like a sweet, chirpy young woman even as she's drenched in blood and snapping old men's necks.
* **Incurable Cough of Death**: It's revealed she dealt with illness, and she was often seen coughing during flashbacks. Subverted, since that's not what killed her- Cain did.
* **The Power of Creation**: Deyanira is amazed by humanity's ability to create stories.
	+ **Deyanira**: But really... really, it was your storytelling. That is the true flower of free will. At least as you've mastered it so far. When you create stories, you become gods of tiny, intricate dimensions unto themselves. So many worlds! I have read... as much as it's possible for an angel to read, and I haven't caught up.
* **Really Gets Around**: Subverted. There's an implication she was with Metatron back in heaven before her corruption, Erebus was in love with her even while he was married, and she married Cain.
* **Screw Destiny**: Unlike most angels, Deyanira does not appeal to fate and celebrates free will. Whether or not this is due to being turned into a demon by Lucifer is unknown.
* **Wrote the Book**: Literally, thanks to writing down all the stuff in the tablets.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Silver/white hair.

### Keres Almyra

Daughter of the former angel Deyanira and the demon Cain. She is a True Demon whose Min-Maxing combination of holy and demonic specializations make her a One-Woman Army. It is later discovered that Keres is the one true vessel of power for Lucifer.

* **Amnesiac's Are Innocent**: Played with. She's not necessarily "innocent" but some of her traits and characteristics would define her with a child. Given her borderline amnesia, which seems to mostly be about her age, there really is a lot to be said about her reasons for behaving a bit childish. Still, mess with her and you'll find *your head on a platter*.
* **Badass Boast**: In her "fight" with Erebus, she calls herself "cruel, cold and terrible, as well as quite a beautiful little monster."
* **Bad Boss**: Played with. She'll give her minions a certain amount of slack if they fail at something they had no reasonable chance of succeeding at, but too many stupid moves and she'll kill them. Eventually turns into Benevolent Boss.
* **The Baroness**: The Sexpot type. She's young-looking, attractive, and her personality fits the type to a T, with an emphasis on the dominatrix aspect and sadism. And that doesn't stop her from getting lovey-dovey around Erebus.
* **Beauty Is Bad**: It's noted once that she's very beautiful. Too beautiful and in the wrong way, which is unnerving and an obvious sign of her true nature as a demon.
* **Berserk Button**:
	+ She really doesn't like it when people keep secrets from her, as Erebus finds out.
	+ Mentioning her parents.
	+ She shows the slight hint of genuine outrage when someone says her information was wrong. Considering how much work goes into her information gathering, it's pretty justified.

* **Best Her to Bed Her**: She muses in the past that she scorned those who look for a knight in shining armor stronger than themselves rather than relying on their strength, but just *look* who she fell for.
* **Bitch in Sheep's Clothing**: She is a beautiful lady bearing the title "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White". Oh, and her karma is -500 (Extremely Evil). Suffice to say, woe betide you if you encounter her and you're not Erebus or one of her allies.
* **Blade Catch**: Even better. She blocks Erebus' sword with only three fingers and later deflects his attacks with her fingernails.
* **Christmas Cake**: She believed she'd become this due to Lyra scaring off suitors.
* **Cute and Psycho**: Erebus finds her cute. Just about everybody else in the world finds her psycho. This is not particularly surprising - when she is around Erebus, Keres does get a lot of absolutely adorable moments. Her enemies are not so lucky.
* **Cute Little Fangs**: A given for a cute demon like her.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: Played with. Despite being a centuries old demon, she's actually fairly heroic, in contrast to her viscous sadistic personality in the past. She greatly values her companions and is repulsed by man eating monsters, more than she will admit.
* **Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest**: Is this to Erebus, who used to love her mother, Deyanira; Keres is a perfect copy of Deyanira.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**:
	+ As much as an evil demon she is, she truly loves Erebus with all her heart and would even kill herself if that would make him happy.
	+ She expresses a totally different personality when around her family. On one occasion, she actually worries about her brother after he fell into a depression, even though she stated she hated him beforehand.
* **Evil Virtues**: She makes sure to keep a good image in front of her children, is as honest as possible, honors her agreements, avoids falling victim to arrogance, and does a good job of cultivating genuine loyalty by showing her own.
* **Faking the Dead**: As part of a training exercise, she decides to pretend she's dead to see how the castle runs without her. While a few idiots like Brain or Natalia believe it, for the most part everyone under her reacts with "Bullshit, there's no one strong enough to kill her."
* **Family of Choice**: She says that her family are the only ones she'll take her gloves off in front of. Hence the popular interpretation of her decision to show her hands to Erebus being her way of accepting him as family (even if she had little choice at the time).
* **Femme Fatale**: Keres is a beautiful, seductive woman who often uses her charms in order to get what she wants. And if she doesn't she's still dangerous enough to dispatch her victims without much trouble.
* **Fluffy Tamer**: In her eyes, Lyra is the cutest thing in the world.
* **Friend to Bugs**: She is very fascinated with bugs, and goes around collecting cicada husks.
* **The Gadfly**: Some of her words imply that she likes messing with Erebus just to see his reactions, or showing off how good she is at predicting those reactions. A good example would be the implied marriage proposal, where after Erebus gets flustered, she smiles lightly and gloats with "Got you again." Based on a conversation they have, it could also be interpreted as her way of scaring him off getting any closer to her.
* **Girls Loves Chocolate**: After Aserath introduces her to chocolate, this becomes her new favorite food, saying she's "never eaten anything so delicious in her life". Considering she's a couple of hundred years old (maybe even older), this is quite a big surprise.
* **Hellfire**: As a powerful demon, she's able to conjure black flames at will.
* **Hellish Pupils**: She has vertically slit pupils.
* **Inbred and Evil**: Keres' mother, Deyanira, is the aunt of Keres' father, Cain.
* **Interspecies Romance**: Various times has been with someone who wasn't a demon. Mostly applies with Erebus, as she's actually in love with him; Erebus is a God, and Keres is a demon, yet they absolutely love each other.
* **Irony**: Despite her seductive nature and exclusive sex appeal, she was still a virgin before she met Erebus.
* **Lady of War**: A classy lady who can tear enemies apart with *her bare hands* and look dignified doing it.
* **Names to Run Away from Really Fast**: Keno Almyra. "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White" also counts.
* **One-Woman Army**: Upon hearing of her weaker abilities a group of high ranked demon hunters estimate that an army of ten thousand men would be needed to match her. She was only using *low level magic* at the time. And even when the Mage Council tried to battle her, they could not even get a hit in; even with a protection spell place by the Archmage, she still tore half of Ronich's face off, and left a huge scar that took a full year to heal. They only survived by briefly throwing her to the ground using a giant angelic/godly weapon (though would later find out that it did absolutely nothing to her). To put the icing on the cake, she beat them *without even using magic*. She could've even gotten up and killed them, but, for some reason, didn't; according to her, they were 'too weak' for her to kill.
* **Poisonous Person**: To insects at least, thanks to her spell Vermin Bane, which she developed herself.
* **Really 700 Years Old**: She is much older than she looks.
* **Red Baron**: "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White"
* **Strong Family Resemblance**: She looks nearly identical to her mother, Deyanira. She also possesses her father, Cain's, eyes.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: She mostly acts cold and collected, but while with Erebus she becomes much more emotional and warmer, even displaying a very cute and adorable side of hers.
* **Villainous Incest**: Erebus, her lover, is both her maternal uncle and paternal great-uncle. The same thing applies to Lucifer.
* **White Hair, Black Heart**: A cruel, evil white-haired demon. Eventually subverted.
* **Why Won't You Die?**: Boy oh boy... She has a Regeneration spell, can reverse time to undo the damage done by a powerful attack, and her bite has a Life Drain effect. Not to mention she was cursed so that she *couldn't die* no matter how hard she tries. Even while getting stabbed with a holy dagger, the wound completely disappeared after a couple seconds. Getting her thrown to the ground by a high ranked mage who used a giant angelic, or godly, weapon didn't seem to damage her in the slightest.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Silver hair.
* **You Have Failed Me**: Played with. When one of her minions walks into a bear trap, she lets it slide because neither she nor the minion have the ability to detect traps. The minion walks into a pitfall, which annoys her more, especially since Keres didn't see it coming either. She makes it clear that any more stupid blunders will be punished with death, however. Eventually subverted.

### Brunhilde

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Hilde.
* **Dissonant Serenity**: She acts completely casual about eating human limbs.
* **Eldritch Abomination**: Her true form is, uh... interesting, to say the least.
* **Emotionless Girl**: Downplayed. She's hardly shown to express her emotions, despite still having a full (hard to notice) range of them. For instance, she has demonstrated pride over being one of Keres' subordinates, anger over Brain's fear Keres could actually be dead, protectiveness of her equipment, disgust when covered in meat, friendliness with Brain as a "junior" Keres worshiper, sadness that Brain doesn't want one of her stickers, and so on. Albeit in a very monotone, single facial expression kind of way.
* **The Foodie**: Oh very much so. She's often seen eating, and even asked Elidur if romance was *something to eat*.
* **Hypocrite**: Says she hates cannibalism and is disgusted by the actions of the humans who engage in it. Yet she herself eats humans (albeit already deceased ones) without flinching...
* **I'm A Humanitarian**: Her first appearance is literally her having lunch. Said lunch being a bag filled with human hearts, some even baked into cupcakes.
* **Meaningful Name**: Brunhilde means 'ready for battle', but it can also mean 'dark or noble'. Fittingly, Brunhilde wears a dark dress and has a generally dark color scheme.
* **Multicolored Hair**: Sometimes looks red mixed with grey, depending on the lighting.
* **Obliviously Beautiful**: Brunhilde doesn't seem to realize just how *cute* she looks. Heck, even Elidur called her *true form* hideous, but with a hidden beauty to it, something he can't quite describe. Brunhilde didn't seem to understand as she always thought that form was hideous and disgusting to look at.
* **Older Than They Look**: Is actually 76 years old despite looking 15 at most.
* **The Quiet One**: She doesn't talk much.
* **Red Baron**: "Bloody Maiden"
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: The blue to Elidur's red.
* **Ship Tease**: With Elidur.
	+ After Brunhilde complimented him (to return the compliment he gave her), her cuteness may have made him pat her head. Or her innocence. Or both.
* **Token Mini-Moe**: Fulfills this role for Keres' children, being one of the smallest and youngest-looking of them, but while she acts the part she is really anything but.
* **Trademark Favorite Food**: Said she prefers child hearts over older people's hearts.
* **Trademark Hated Food**: Said she hates the hearts of old men in particular.
* **Undying Loyalty**: To Keres.
* **Used To Be A Sweet Kid**: As a human, she was generally more expressive and happy. Nowadays, while still possessing emotions, she doesn't express them as well as she used to.
* **What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?**: She asks Elidur if romance is something to eat. Also, Brunhilde doesn't really know the meaning of a kiss.
* **When She Smiles**: Flashbacks where we see her smiling are absolutely adorable to look at. That one moment when she genuinely smiles at Elidur... Cue Squeeing.
* **You Are What You Hate**: The reason she hates cannibalism is because she herself, when she was human, ate the heart (and implied organs) of her childhood crush. It's not just that simply hates it because she did it, but rather because she *enjoyed it*. Nowadays, as a demon, she's seen eating human body parts and organs without so much as a flinch. Yet she detests man eating monsters.

### Brain

* **All According to Plan**: When it looks like he's losing, he's actually still winning.
* **For Science!**: Very inquisitive. Loves to apply his own version of The Scientific Method on everything.
* **For the Evulz**: While some of his "experiments" on the "livestock" are actually done for practical purposes, a lot of the horrible things he does to them, up to and including forcing parents to give up their own children to be eaten by the other "livestock", are done for no other reason than because he thinks it's fun.
* **Hellhole Prison**: He's been keeping "livestock" in this sort of environment, and loves to implement ways of making it even more hellish.
* **Hope Crusher**: Brain openly admits that allowing captives to escape, just a little bit in order to give them a sense of hope and freedom, only to take it away by showing that his victims never had any hope of salvation would be most enjoyable.
* **Mad Artist**: Living subjects in suffering, torn body parts, and screaming souls are his favorite mediums.
* **Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!**: A villainous example, with his perception of "what's right" being "ensuring the safety of Keres at all costs". Unlike most of the others, who will unwaveringly obey Keres no matter what, Brain may disobey his master's orders if he feels that Keres is putting herself into unnecessary danger. He says that he doesn't even care if Keres punishes or even kills him for his disobedience, as the safety of Keres must come above his own.

### Ingrid

* **All-Loving Hero**: She tries, at least.
* **All Monks Know Kung-Fu**: Her style of fighting, with no other explanation. At least it makes sense since her magic is all about improving her physical abilities.
* **Badass Boast**: *"I can see it... My mind-reading third eye will show me your very heart! The beautiful barrage in your heart will make you suffer!"*
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: She has a very nice personality, but pissing her off with result in a fake smile.
* **Cat Smile**: One of Ingrid's expressions. Looks very cute on her.
* **Character Tics**: Leaving one eye closed while mindreading.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Probably due to years of reading idiotic/perverted/evil thoughts, she can be rather sarcastic and has a tendency to be blunt.
* **Extra Eyes**: She has a third eye, which enables her to read people's minds.
* **Eyes Do Not Belong There**: Her third eye is positioned on her chest, right where her heart would be.
* **Psychic Powers**: Mindreading and precognition. She also uses hypnosis to draw out people's traumas to the surface so she can better formulate her battle strategies.
* **Multicolored Hair**: Brown hair with a purple gradient from the top.
* **Telepathy**: Her primary shtick in mindreading, assisted by some hypnotism.
* **Third Eye**: Unusually, it's detached from her body and connected by veins. Notably, it sits right in front of her heart.

### Genevieve

* **Badass Adorable**: Introverted, cute, short, and a powerful and strong willed ice demon. She's also a knight.
* **Badass Bookworm**: Most often, she can be found reading.
* **Cool Loser**: Never tried to be socially accepted, yet still manages to be cool in her own way.
* **Cute Bookworm**: Genevieve is a rather cute and quiet girl who is usually seen reading.
* **Elemental Hair Colors**: Blue haired character that routinely uses ice magic.
* **Icy Blue Eyes**: They fit her calm and collected personality. She can use ice magic to boot.
* **Magic Knight**: She's a knight and so she can handle herself in magicless close combat.
* **Personality Powers**: She has ice powers and definitely has the cold personality that comes with it.
* **The Quiet One**: She rarely talks, even to her girlfriend.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: Blue to Ingrid's red; quiet, cautious, etc.
* **Shy Blue-Haired Girl**: Both check out but rather than a Shrinking Violet, she's just quiet and not interested in socializing.
* **The Stoic**: Even in battle she rarely shows emotion.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: Despite her quietness and chilly appearance, she's a nice girl.
* **Terse Talker**: "Me."

### Mephistopheles

* **Long-Haired Pretty Boy**
* **Only Known By Their Nickname**: Instead of being called Mephistopheles, he's often just called Mephisto.
* **Peek-a-Bangs**: He has his bangs covering most of the left side of his face.
* **Sharp-Dressed Man**: He wears a snazzy white suit with a red undershirt.
* **Supernatural Gold Eyes**: His eyes are a light gold, fitting his demonic nature.

### Melaney Almyra

The Crown Princess of Hell, Melaney is an altruist of unparalleled kindness who's willing to offer her homeworld's absolute bottom-of-the-barrel scum a chance to learn, grow and change for the better.

* **Beware the Nice Ones**: Melaney is a polite and affable lady, but she doesn’t enjoy being ruthlessly mocked for her vision of rehabilitating souls.
	+ According to Word of God, Melaney is more powerful than Abaddon, who is The Dreaded even among the denizens of Hell. It's Melaney's temperament that holds her back from revealing her true power.
* **Beyond Redemption**: It's Melaney's goal to defy this with the mansion. She believes that no demon is truly beyond help, and that anyone can be redeemed if they put in the effort.
* **The Cutie**: Melaney's an adorable, bubbly, naïve, song-loving Nice Girl of a princess who is incredibly idealistic and believes in rainbows and puppies. She's such a pure sweetheart that it's a stark contrast to the rest of Hell.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: She is the princess of hell and one of the most heroic characters.
* **Demon Lords and Archdevils**: Born in Hell, she holds the title of Princess of said realm. However, she's less of an infernal demonic mistress and more a garden-variety Disney princess, complete with bouncy and optimistic naïveté, saccharine song numbers, and the like.
* **Genki Girl**: She's a peppy and enthusiastic demon princess who's all fired up about the idea of rehabilitating demons.
* **Genre Refugee**: As stated above, Melaney's basically a Disney Princess ruling over the Crapsack World of Hell. Not that her title means much when the denizens only give her a modicum of respect and attention at best.
* **Good Is Not Dumb**: Melaney is well aware that Abaddon is, in her own words, "sketchy as fuck", and outright refuses to make any deals with him, but still takes him on, as she still believes that every demon deserves at least a chance to redeem themselves.
	+ She even admits that she knows how evil Abaddon is and that he most likely does not want to change. It shows that even though she believes that redemption for demons is possible, she also knows that not all of them want to change for the better — and all she can do is try.
* **Horned Humanoid**: Her shadow has a pair of long disturbing horns on her head.
* **Irony**: Unlike quite a lot of other demons who’re damned souls who went to Hell after they died, Melaney was born and raised in the inferno. However, she is arguably the purest, sweetest ray of sunshine around.
* **My Species Doth Protest Too Much**: She’s a demon (and was born that way unlike many of Hell's denizens) but is a kindhearted and joyful person who wants to help others.
* **Nice Girl**: An oddity for a denizen of Hell, she’s compassionate about reforming demons and is the sweetest demon you could meet.
* **Not So Above It All**: While she is undoubtedly one of, if not the, nicest person in Hell, she’s not above saying curse words, although she typically uses them for emphasis rather than throwing them around in every sentence like a lot of the other characters.
* **Voluntary Shapeshifting**: While she may look like a perfectly normal human, she’s capable of transforming herself in a variety of ways to look more demonic, or otherwise.
* **Wide-Eyed Idealist**: Downplayed. She's not enough of a fool to believe that *every* demon in Hell will want to redeem themselves, but she's still willing to give her subjects the benefit of the doubt and still vouches for the possibility that there *are* demons who will want to change.
* **Willfully Weak**: The only people in hell more powerful than her are her parents, but you wouldn't know that from her usual demeanor. Melaney is just too nice and sweet to bother throwing her weight around.

### Abaddon

Abaddon is an enigmatic, infamously powerful demon known as the "Doom Demon" among other demons. He takes an interest in Melaney and offers to help her with her mansion, not because he believes in the cause, but because of the entertainment value he sees in the patrons' repeated failure.

* **Affably Evil**: In contrast to other demons, Abaddon comes off like a polite and friendly guy, with a penchant for making dumb jokes. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a widely-feared tyrant. Most of Hell's inhabitants are rightly terrified of the Doom Demon, and want as little to do with him as possible. Indeed, as friendly as he is, he clarifies very quickly that he just wants to support the mansion to see demons despair when they fail to be redeemed. And that's assuming he doesn't have some other motivation he's not talking about. Though he slips into Faux Affably Evil at times, mostly when he's trying to be scary.
* **Always a Bigger Fish**: While immensely powerful and rightfully feared by many, there are plenty of characters in-universe of higher rank and status that are more powerful than him.
* **Badass Long Robe**: Full of grave markers that may as well be spears.
* **Bait the Dog**: His offer to help Melaney with her mansion might make it seem like he's not such a bad guy at first... but then he reveals that he thinks redemption is impossible for demons, and he just wants to amuse himself watching damned souls try and fail to be redeemed. Downplayed, however, in that despite his... less than sincere motivations for helping out, Abaddona is true to his word, and his contributions are legitimate help the mansion desperately needs. He gets the place cleaned and repaired, brings in extra staff, and basically provides the backing the place is going to need to have any chance of working — with no Literal Genie traps, and without having trapped anybody into a deal (although the latter's more to do with Melaney being smart enough not to make any deals with him).
* **Beyond Redemption**: Believes this about demons as a whole. Abaddon doesn't think Melaney's idea is going to work, saying that a person's chance to be good was the life they lived before, and that demons are stuck in Hell as punishment. The only reason Abaddon wants to help run the mansion anyway is because he'll thinks the demons who try will all fail, and that it will be fun to watch.
* **Big Good**: Well, he's not all *that* good, but he's a very powerful and recognized demon, and the only one willing to make an investment in Melaney's mansion project, even if only for his personal amusement of watching sinners try and fail to redeem themselves.
* **Classy Cane**: Has one with a skull wrapped in a thorny vine on the end. He often wacks people he finds annoying on the head with it.
* **Deal with the Devil**: Is apparently a "dealmaker". He tries to make one with Melaney about helping the mansion, with the caveat that there are no manipulations or strings attached. Abaddon agrees, but Melaney is still wise enough not to take the deal and instead orders him to help her "as long as he desires". Abaddon agrees with a simple "Fair enough".
* **Good Scars, Evil Scars**: It's as if his skull had to have been stitched back together... and maybe it *has.*
* **No Sense of Personal Space**: He tends to get a little too close for Melaney's comfort.
* **Perky Goth**: He dresses in black clothes and has a skull on his cane, but he's playful and always looking for a good laugh. He can get serious when the situation calls for it, though.
* **Perpetual Smiler**: He's never seen without a smile on his face.

### Shiva Alarie

* **Badass Adorable**: Has the appearance of a cute, small boy but can kick ass when pushed into it. He also learned how to use his short stature to his advantage in battle.
* **Cute Little Fangs**: He has these.
* **Deliberately Cute Child**: He’s not actually a child, even though he looks like one, but he plays this trope well and loves to remind others of how cute and charming he is.
* **Friend to All Children**: Is confirmed to have a soft spot for children; however, it's also confirmed that he'd be a "friendly irresponsible" type around them.
* **Hime Cut**: His hair is cut like this.
* **Never Heard That One Before**: He's been called a slut so many times that it doesn't even offend him anymore, but he is annoyed that people don't come up with more creative insults to describe him.
* **Pointy Ears**: He has pointed ears, likely attributed to his immortal nature.
* **Pretty Boy**: He's a demon but is short (tall in his other form), slim, and pretty good-looking.
* **Sex Slave**: Not his primary role, but serves this role to his pimp Zepar, who forces himself onto Shiva regularly.
* **Stepford Smiler**: It's revealed that he's in an abusive relationship with his boss Zepar, and flashes in a dance scene have him lying on a bed trembling, with Acheron reaching out to try and comfort him. It's also heavily implied that Zepar routinely sexually abuses him.
* **Too Kinky to Torture**: Confirmed to be a masochist. When Shiva's tied in chains and slammed to the ground, he says "Harder, Daddy!" Becomes a Deconstructed Trope, where he's clearly distressed by Zepar's sexual abuse.
* **Trauma Button**: He seems to be triggered when looking at his reflection and is reminded of Zepar raping him.
* **Vocal Dissonance**: He looks like a cute young boy, but goddamn, is his voice deep as fuck.

### Tamamo-no-Mae

* **Complete Monster**: Tamamo-no-Mae is one of the three most fearsome demons. A wicked Fox-Demon, she possesses or takes the forms of women to seduce kings with her beauty, pushing them to savage atrocity and brutality where countless innocents are tortured and slaughtered, eventually kicking off wars before skipping town. Doing this across Earth, Tamamo-no-Mae also preys upon women and children in her spare time, eventually cursing the North with her disappearance to lead to a brutal war.
* **Cruel and Unusual Death**: As Daji, she was supposedly best known for her invention of a method of torture known as the Bronze Toaster (炮烙), a bronze cylinder covered with oil heated like a furnace with charcoal beneath until its sides were extremely hot. The victim was forced to walk on top of the slowly heating cylinder, and was forced to shift their feet in order to not burn. The oily surface made it difficult for the victim to maintain their balance, and if the victim fell into the charcoal below, they would be burnt to death.
* **Foul Fox**: She is a malicious fox spirit, and... look at the other tropes attributed to her.
* **Sadist**: She enjoys torture and executions, allegedly laughing at them.
* **The Vamp**: It's said that Daji's beauty caused King Zhou to become so infatuated with her that he started neglecting state affairs to be with her and would order embarrassing activities (e.g. nude hide-and-seek games in the Forest of Meat) and executions to make her amused/happy.

### The Sun Demon / The Moon Demon

#### Shared

* **Cosmic Motifs**: The sun and the moon, obviously, but also the stars on Moon's clothing.
* **Jekyll & Hyde**: The Sun Demon means well, even if he's uncomfortably eager and in your face. He also seems keen on preventing the Moon Demon from being awakened. The Moon Demon is aggressive and wants to punish.
* **Split-Personality Switch Trigger**: Doubles as a Nighttime Transformation. If it's sunlight out, then the Sun Demon takes over. If it's nighttime, then the Moon Demon takes over instead.

#### The Sun Demon

* **Painful Transformation**: When it turns dark, the Sun Demon is shown holding his head and making pained noises as the Moon Demon takes over.

#### The Moon Demon

* **The Dreaded**: Moon is feared by everyone, from kids, to other demons, to Sun.
* **Evil Sounds Raspy**: Moon speaks in a soft, raspy voice and is implicitly the more malevolent of the pair, as evident by its appearance.
* **Red Eyes, Take Warning**: He has piercing red eyes.

### Eurydice

* **Dark and Troubled Past**: She never talks about her past directly, but "Any Way The Wind Blows" and "All I've Ever Known" suggests that she's had to survive completely alone before meeting Orpheus, and anyone she met before turned on her.
* **The Runaway**: Eurydice is described as a runaway "from every place she'd ever been", constantly hounded to leave when the weather gets too harsh.
* **Took a Level in Idealism**: Eurydice starts cynical and only looking out for herself, as she knows people will turn on you in the end. Through meeting Orpheus and falling in love with him she begins to adhere to his positive outlook on life. When she sees him risking his life for her in Hell and successfully finishing his song, Eurydice becomes fully optimistic.

## Daemons (Children of Nyx)

### Hypnos — Lord of Sleep

* **Fell Asleep Standing Up**: Almost constantly.
* **Flower Motifs**: He has poppies in front of his cave-room, which are commonly associated with sleep.
* **Power Floats**: Like his mother and other siblings, Hypnos can float in the air… And even falls asleep like that as well.
* **Sleepyhead**: A given, considering he's literally sleep itself.

### Eris —

The goddess of Strife and Discord.

* **Adaptational Villainy**: Pretty certain she and Persephone did not interact much in actual mythology... let alone did Eris bless Persephone with Wrath.
* **Affably Evil**: Goddess of Discord and all.
* **Always Chaotic Evil**: Her whole character, however, Discordianism makes her much nicer.
* **Ambiguously Evil**: Even though her actions *did* have a somewhat harmful effect on Persephone, it's also vague if she cursed her with Wrath out of genuinely evil intentions, or she was just simply fulfilling her role as the Goddess of Discord and it wasn't really anything personal.
* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Of discord.
* **Apple of Discord**: Her symbol is the Trope Namerbest known for when she used it to start the Trojan War.
* **At Least I Admit It**: Entirely or part of the reason Eris is how she is. Most Deities see mortals as little more than talking live stock-at best, even with the best of intentions constantly hurt and annoy their family, and as a whole (with a few rare exceptions) are entitled jerks. All while they can barely comprehend they can do wrong at all, let alone ruin lives. Eris hides behind no pretext. She knows she's evil and chaotic. Being so pleases and entertains her. It is who she is.
* **Because You Were Nice to Me**: Possibly the case. She leads Typhon into battle in his fight against Zeus but doesn't seem to personally confront Ares, who is her close companion and friend.
* **Card-Carrying Villain**: When Persephone asks why she would Bless her with Wrath, Eris replies, “Because it’s in my nature.”
* **Chaos Is Evil**: Generally seen as one of the more malevolent goddesses.
* **Competition Freak**: Sometimes combined with Friendly Rivalry.
* **Disproportionate Retribution**: Started the Trojan War over not being invited to a wedding.
* **Evil Is Petty**: It's hard to top starting a gigantic war for not being invited to a wedding.
* **For the Evulz**: About 90% of her actions, to be expected from the personification of discord.
* **God of Evil**: Exists to cause chaos through inciting conflict and discord, and was thought to be behind most bad things that plagued Earth. She's also the Greater-Scope Villain of the Trojan war, having incited it by causing an argument between Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera.
* **Greater-Scope Villain**: Of the Trojan War. She instigated the whole conflict, but the war was mainly fought between the Greeks and Trojans; the Big Bad, in this case, was Paris. As per other legends about deities, she was not punished for it.
* **Nightmare Fetishist**: She adores Ares for the same reason most hate him, namely his wake of violence and blood.
* **I Am What I Am**: Like most deities of chaos and malice, this is Eris' entire motivation and justification for her actions. No more, no less.
* **RevengeSVP**: The Ur-Example. You know Maleficent's curse to Aurora? It's based on Eris's tale. Unlike Maleficent, though, Eris didn't get punished for doing that.
* **Sadly Mythtaken**: Is not the goddess of chaos. The role of god of chaos went to Chaos himself. Eris is the goddess of discord, as in infighting, arguing, and conflict.
* **Self-Fulfilling Prophecy**: Eris was not invited to Peleus and Thetis's wedding because she's a big troublemaker. And made a lot of trouble did she ever...
* **Teach Him Anger**: While Demeter had tried to keep her daughter's existence secret since her very inception, she still asked every female deity she knew to bless her child. Eris somehow heard of this and decided to complete the set, blessing the infant fertility goddess with wrath. It's still to be seen what the implications of this are aside from occasional red eyes, anger issues, and accidental mass murder.
* **Token Evil Teammate**: The only god who took Typhon's side during his battle with Zeus, besides Gaia herself. And like Gaia, she managed to get away for it! (But poor Typhon...)
* **The Trickster**: A malevolent example.
* **Troll**: She provokes other gods just to get a reaction out of them or see what their Berserk Buttons are.

### Apate and Dolos

A pair of incestuous, creepy twins. The Gods of Deceit and Trickery respectively.

#### Shared

* **Affably Evil**: They're both bug-fuck insane, but no one ever said that they were impolite.
* **Ax-Crazy**: These twins are out of their collective gourd.
* **Creepy Child**: Their behavior when killing people is cheerful. Their behavior when torturing is gleeful.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**: They genuinely love and care for each other.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**: The sheer number of people they kill (and how they do it) is just the start of how messed-up these two are. And tragically, they can't even imagine the world any other way.
* **Twincest**: They look like twins at any rate and kiss on screen.
* **Unholy Matrimony**: They murder, torture and do all sort of gruesome things together. Despite being incestuous siblings, their relationship is the only humanizing thing about them.
* **Villainous Incest**: Just one part of their sick behaviour is their incestuous relationship, with kisses included. This is one of *the least* disturbing things about them (heck, it's the *most humanizing* thing about them).

#### Apate

* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Of deceit.
* **Magical Accessory**: Has a magical, multicolored belt that made the wearer a better liar by making people more likely to believe whatever you tell them.
* **Singing Voice Dissonance**: Apate's beautiful singing is something you'd never expect out of a deranged serial killer. Even Zeus can't help but notice.
	+ **Zeus**: Girl sure can sing. Hard to believe it's the voice of a homicidal maniac. A devil with the voice of an angel.

#### Dolos

* **Anthropomorphic Personification**: Of lies and treachery.
* **Consummate Liar**: The god OF it.

## The Black Hand

### Veronika

* **Lady of Black Magic**: A powerful mage with potent spells unique to her. She is a lot darker and more adult-like in personality compared to the others.
* **Vanity Is Feminine**: Veronika is shown to be often concerned with appearances, having a dislike for getting dirty while fighting or becoming too muscular. She comments that women who are beautiful should be proud of their appearances.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Hers is purple.

### Mara Aurora Anluan

* **Abusive Parents**: Her father was an abusive alcoholic who attempted to kill her in a drunken rage.
* **Anti-Hero**: She's one of the good guys, yet she takes so much pleasure in violence that even she can get scared of herself.
* **Attempted Rape**: As part of her backstory.
* **Ax-Crazy**: Mara isn't "all there" as she just enjoys the feeling of beating the ever-living shit out of someone a bit TOO much.
* **Dark and Troubled Past**: Her father was an abusive alcoholic, leading to Mara killing him in self-defense during one of his violent spouts after he found out that Mara and Lenore aren't his actual children. Not to mention that her clan was destroyed after they were blamed for the Massacre of Arklala, which ended in both of her only friends at the time, Odin and Abigail's, deaths, and she only escaped with her younger sister, Lenore. Not to mention, she was sexually assaulted and killed her perpetrator in self-defense, finding out about her love for violence and murder. Lest to say, she didn't take it too well when Azula revealed the truth about her father's death.
* **Lady of War**: Mara's skill with a sword is matched by her grace and composure in battle. At one point she throws her sheathe into the air, sprints forward and cuts down an enemy, then gracefully catches it before it has a chance to hit the ground.
* **Patricide**: It turns out that Mara's father didn't die in the destruction of the clan, but rather Mara killed him in self defense, as her father was an abusive alcoholic. The memory was horrible enough that Mara mentally repressed it until Azula forced her to remember.
* **Tears of Joy**: Rather poignantly after spending most of the story Unable to Cry, Mara happily cries when she sees that Igrit has remembered her again.
* **Tomboy and Girly Girl**: Tomboy to Lenore's Girly Girl.
* **Unable to Cry**: Due to being Conditioned to Accept Horror, Mara finds herself unable to muster up tears even though she does actually feel bad whenever she loses people she cares about.
* **You Are Better Than You Think You Are**: Having been put through the wringer of having to kill her surrogate brother, her surrogate sister sacrificing herself for her, remembering that she killed her own father, and still loving a man who doesn't even remember her, Mara is shocked and driven to tears to discover that the world at large loves her.

### Kurōdo

* **Absolute Cleavage**: A rare male example.
* **Long-Haired Pretty Boy**: A dark blue side-ponytail with Peek-a-Bangs.
* **Mark of the Beast/Mark of Shame**: His tattoos.
* **Peek-a-Bangs**: His right eye is always covered by his hair. He styled it that way to hide the tattoo etched on that side of his face.
* **Sarashi**: He wears no shirt beneath his kimono save for bandages wrapped around his waist.
* **Scars Are Forever**: Kurōdo has several scars all over his back and torso, along with his face and hands.
* **You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!**: It's not really hard to anger Kurōdo; but if he gets *too* pissed, his tattoos will take over his mind and turn him into a mindless and monstrous berserker.

### Abagor

* **Blood Knight**: In the truest sense of the word.
* **Horned Humanoid**: They are black, just like his hair.
* **I Am Not Left-Handed**: Mara implies that what we're seeing is not even half of what he's capable of.
* **Pointy Ears**: Another trait that he has in common with other demons.

## Reapers

### Sylvia

* **Action Girl**: Very, *very* much so. Sylvia is stated to be as deadly as one hundred soldiers by herself.
* **Aloof White-Haired Girl**: She's beautiful, stoic, aloof, and stands out as the only main female character with silver hair.
* **Badass Boast**: Several.
	+ *"I am strong. Stronger than any of you."*
	+ Gives a chilling one during a standoff with a bunch of soldiers when they threaten to execute Akron.
		- **Sylvia**: My specialty... involves flesh... and the lacerating thereof. You just draw close enough, and I'll be happy to demonstrate. Should anyone wish to experience my technique... by all means, feel free to come this way.

* **Beauty = Goodness**: Described as beautiful by other characters, and firmly on the heroic side.
* **Break the Cutie**:
	+ When she was younger, she seemed to be an average nine-year-old instead of the stoic badass we know today. Then, her mother was killed in front of her and she was kidnapped. But that was not what broke her; after Akron killed two of the kidnappers, the third just came into the room and almost killed Akron. As Akron almost died, she finally broke, realizing how messed up the world was.

* **Broken Bird**: Once upon a time she was just a normal little girl. Nowadays, she rarely ever smiles.
* **Catchphrase**:
	+ *"This world is a cruel place".*
	+ With the occasional addition of "But it is also beautiful."

* **Charles Atlas Superpower**: Has shown WAY more strength than any normal person of her age or size should possess. It's strongly implied that her childhood trauma somehow shattered her natural mental limiters.
* **Cynicism Catalyst**: Her mother's death has made her The Stoic Emotionless Girl she is today.
* **Damsel out of Distress**: After her mother is murdered she got kidnap by her murderers forcing Akron to come and save her, then they attempt to kill Akron and through his encouragement she was able to violently kill her kidnappers, and escape with him.
* **Dare to Be Badass**: What made her the hardened badass she is today.
	+ **Sylvia**: If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win!

* **Fatal Flaw**: Despite being a perfect reaper, Sylvia is still susceptible to her poor control over her temper, which has resulted in reckless behavior that has gotten herself and others hurt. She has improved on this shortcoming, but never truly overcomes it.
* **Fire-Forged Friends**: Her bond with Akron originates from how, as a child, she was kidnapped by her mother's murderers and Akron was the first one to track them down. If it weren't for him, she may not be alive.
* **Only One Name**: Any other names she might have are unknown.
* **Red Baron**: "The White Reaper".
* **Strong Family Resemblance**: She just looks like a younger version of her mother, Gaia.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Silver.

### Azula

* **Ambiguously Evil**: Azula's morality seems to be in the morally grey area. Despite supposedly being a well-working reaper, she acts incredibly sinister, manipulative and heartless, with the strong implication there's much more to her than meets the eye. Similarly, she set up the massacre of Arklala by the Anluan, Cedar and Kale's deaths (who she purposefully set up as Mara's older brother and little sister figures), and mentally breaks Mara completely by revealing the Awful Truth that she murdered her abusive father in self-defense as a child. All so she can get her hands on Lenore... who she plans to use to end things like war, hunger and death.
* **Animal Motif**: A wolf, as she believes in Asskicking Equals Authority and The Nose Knows.
* **Beauty Is Bad**: Azula may be physically beautiful but she can be very manipulative and immoral.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Azula will never hesitate to tell anybody exactly what she thinks, even if it's hurtful.
* **The Chessmaster**: Azula is cunning, strategic and manipulative. She always has an agenda.
* **Clingy Jealous Girl**: Oh so much towards Vici. In fact, Azula is more of a Yandere for her as she has spent over a millennia being obsessively in love with Vici to the point that she stalked Vici and has both attempted to kill or killed people that Vici loves and cares about, including Erebus. She visibly shows that she is very jealous of Erebus because Vici was in love with him and always chose him over Azula.
* **Consummate Liar**: Azula is very good at lying and manipulating others in order to get what she wants.
* **Defrosting Ice Queen**: She is selfish, cold, manipulative and vain. She is described to be cold-hearted and will use people in order to get her way without feeling any guilt afterwards. Around Vici, Raen or Soli, Azula's humanity seems to come through.
* **Dissonant Serenity**: Azula always appears calm and dignified, speaking in a soft tone whether she's slaughtering enemies or making shady deals. Nothing seems to phase her.
* **The Dreaded**: People are terrified of her, and for good reason. And there are multiple groups who desperately want her dead. Because as the Blood Reaper, humanity has long been terrified of what she represents.
* **Emotionless Girl**: Azula never reacts to anything around her and is usually content with having a polite attitude. The only exception is a movie that manages to make her cry, although it's unsure if she's sincere. She finally drops it when she bursts into laughter upon murdering Admiral, in one of the most disturbing moments in the entire story.
* **Evil Cannot Comprehend Good**:
	+ It becomes increasingly obvious that Azula doesn't understand or anticipate how much Lenore would genuinely love Mara, viewing their relationship as purely contractual and something to break just so she can achieve her own goals.

* **Horrifying the Horror**: Even powerful reapers are terrified of Azula, without her needing to say or do anything.
* **If I Can't Have You...**: A bad-ending scene showed Azula with Vici's bloody, disembodied head, implying that, should she have been rejected, she would've killed Vici to 'keep her for herself'. Considering this scene was in Vici's head, its unknown how much of it is true.
* **Nigh-Invulnerability**: Of the regeneration variety, being shown as shrugging off getting shot in the head multiple times.
* **The Nose Knows**: In one of her appearances, Azula mentions that Sylvia has two smells; one of a human and one of a reaper. It is later revealed she doesn't recognize people by faces, but by their smell, and she doesn't bother remembering the smell of people she doesn't care about.
* **Nothing Is Scarier**: Azula is a mystery wrapped in many questions, and utterly terrifying because of this.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: She only ever displays any sort of adoration towards one person: Her younger twin, Vici. Sure, she loves her family, but she even mentions to Vici how she is her 'favorite sibling'.
* **The Sociopath**: Lying, murdering, and manipulating are as natural as breathing to her. Subverted in that she does care about some people.
* **Stepford Smiler**: Her smile in public hides her disdain for the "dirty" world around her and her own unstable nature. Around Vici, however, her smile is always the real deal.
* **Sugary Malice**: Azula is very good at appearing sweet and polite to others when she needs them to further her agenda.
* **Supernatural Gold Eyes**: Azula is an incredibly powerful, Ambiguously Human woman with strange, golden eyes.
* **Yandere**: In regards to Vici. Azula was very obsessed with Vici for millennia, so much so that Azula spent most of their childhood stalking Vici, killing people that are close to her, and obsessively going to extreme lengths to be with her, save her or protect her. She has repeatedly gone the route of Murder the Hypotenuse by killing or trying to kill men that were romantically involved or interested in Vici. And in the regular sick sense, Azula can't even lie about loving another person without wanting to vomit.

### Vici

* **All Love is Unrequited**: Her feelings for Erebus were never returned.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: Despite her friendly demeanor most of the time, she can and will demonstrate why she is a reaper when incredibly focused/tilted.
* **Boyish Short Hair**: Has short, pink hair.
* **Cool Big Sis**: Gives off this vibe to Raen and Soli.
* **Curtains Match the Window**: Pink hair and eyes.
* **Kiss of Death**: Her lips are poisonous, meaning anybody that kisses her will die, with few known exceptions.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: The red to Erebus and Azula's blue.
* **Spikes of Villainy**: Her collar has a row of spikes lined alongside it as part of her reaper aesthetic.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Hers is pink.

### Raen

* **Babies Ever After**: She marries Mavi and adopts six orphaned children.
* **Hime Cut**: Although if you look closely her bangs seem to be slightly asymmetrical, so she can get that pinned-back bit.
* **Interspecies Romance**: With Mavi. Mavi is a half-elf and Raen is a necro-reaper, but it's clear they both deeply love each other.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: Though she likes to provoke and bully others, she's also willing to cheer up Sylvia and remind her of her worth as a person and a friend.
* **Nice Hat**: She wears a small black bennet.
* **Opposites Attract**: Mavi is a kind and sweet half-elf, while Raen is an arrogant and rude reaper. Doesn't make them love each other any less.
* **Poke the Poodle**: Even though she's mean to most people, she's actually nice to Sylvia. She only teases her in harmless ways like patting her on the head or embarrassing her with compliments. But Raen's narration claims that this is *totally* part of her usual sadistic behavior.
* **Proper Tights with a Skirt**: As fitting for a rich lady, she wears black tights with her dress.
* **Ship Tease**: With her wife, Mavi, of course, including the famous scene of them sharing a bucket of ice cream. Yet she also gets some with her brother, Soli, too and sometimes with Maria.
* **They Do**: Married Mavi and adopted six children with her.
* **Troll**: Raen's dickery isn't motivated by greed, or power, but rather because she's an absolute sucker for schadenfreude and loves making people angry, uncomfortable, and/or miserable.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**: When she was about eight, she was already a bit of a sadist, knew that you could kill someone by dangling them upside down long enough, understood concepts such as virginity, and wanted to tutor Soli so people would wonder about the implications of her being so close with her blood-related brother. You can kind of see visually that she's trying to fill the role of a grown adult at the age of *eight* — she has a special tall chair to put herself on an adult's eye level despite being practically pocket-sized. At fifteen, she occasionally drinks alcohol and can even handle "ten times" (supposedly) as much as it takes to make Azula (more than twice her age) pretty much horizontal.
* **Tsundere**: To Mavi, before getting together with her, at least.
* **Tsurime Eyes**: Her sharp eyes match perfectly her dominant and sadistic personality.

### Soli

* **Big Sister Worship**: When he was little, Soli absolutely idolized his older sister, Raen. Due to the promise that Raen broke, Soli started acting mean towards her, believing she didn't care about him anymore. However, he still loved and idolized her, and continued even after he learned the truth and they made up. He considers her a perfect woman.
* **Good Is Not Nice**: Definitely one of the rudest reapers and makes no effort at being courteous, but does what he's assigned without question.
* **Hot-Headed**: He gets *very* angry *very* quickly.
* **Ship Tease**: Gets plenty with his sister, Raen, yet also ended up getting some with Veronika as well.

## Humans

### Elidur

* **Cool Shades**: Elidur sports a pair of round spectacles.
* **Logical Weakness**: Implied. While he can control metal via his magnetism powers he seems to be unable to block or control bullets, likely due to them being made out of lead, a non-magnetic metal.
* **Meaningful Name**: Elidur literally means 'steel.'
* **Nice Hat**: Wears a wide-brim leather hat.
* **Not So Different**: With Brunhilde. Both have the power to manipulate blood somehow (Elidur by manipulating the metals in the blood, and Brunhilde using her Blood Demon powers), both have a deep hatred for blood cultists (Elidur due to growing up in a blood cult and getting experimented on by them, and Brunhilde simply because she detests cannibalism), both are/were mortal but are still very much alive (Elidur forcing his heart to keep beating, and Brunhilde being turned into a blood demon by Keres), both are much older than they look, both were constantly tortured in one way or another (Elidur by getting experimented on by the blood cultists, and Brunhilde by getting physically and verbally abused by the children in the orphanage), both were genuinly good children until certain events changed them (Elidur being experimented by blood cultists, and Brunhilde finding out that she had no true friends, and then eating the heart, and implied organs, of the person she used to like), etc.
* **Odd Friendship**: With Brunhilde, of all people!
* **Older Than They Look**: He looks like an old man with gray hair, but there is an implication he is *MUCH* older than that.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: The red oni to Brunhilde's blue oni.
* **Summon to Hand**: Can do this using magnetism manipulation with his war hammer.

### Mortimer

* **Berserk Button**: Don't call him short, or imply he's small.
* **Big Brother Instinct**: Towards Sylvia. His reaction to finding out Raen bullied Sylvia in the past was by threatening her with a big mushroom.
* **Height Angst**: Hates the fact he's short. In fact, one reason he wants to learn transfiguration and alchemy is because he wants to get taller.
* **In-Series Nickname**: Mor.
* **Meaningful Name**: The name Mor comes from a fantasy novel called Mort. In Russian, both the novel's and main character's name is translated as "Mop" (Mor). It wouldn't matter as much in a regular situation, but in the novel, the main character is the apprentice of Death. This is tied in with the fact that Mor helps the reapers.
	+ Mor's full name is also a reference to the same novel: in the French edition, it is titled Mortimer.
	+ In Celtic, the name also means 'Exceptional', which may correspond to his need to get stronger and become his father's right hand.

## The Thieves Guild

### Thomas

* **Bare Your Midriff**: His shirt exposes half of his side.
* **Fashionable Asymmetry**: His shirt is slightly open on his right side, his Scarf of Asskicking hangs off his left shoulder, he wears a single pauldron on his left shoulder, and he wears one earring on his left ear.
* **Skunk Stripe**: He has a single white-ish stripe on his otherwise orange hair.

## House of Riarte (and extended family)

### Elidi Riarte

* **Green-Eyed Epiphany**: Alyva's flirtatiousness around Alan made Elidi realize that she's indeed REALLY in love with Alan.
* **Perpetual Frowner**: If she ever smiles, it is at most a slight curve of the lips.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: Funnily enough, she is the blue to Alan's red, remaining calm, detached and indifferent to the surrounding events.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: Elidi is cold, aloof and generally does not enjoy interacting with others, but she shows glimpses of her sweet side with her family.
* **Tomboy**: Definitely counts as one considering she was practicing to be a swordsman at the age of *seven* and is considered to be more gifted at it then her husband.
* **Tsurime Eyes**: Her eyes are almost always serious and focused.
* **When She Smiles**: These moments are worth cherishing.

### Scarlett Riarte

* **Berserk Button**: Calling her singing bad (at least she *says* that it pisses her off).
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: Scarlett's a sweetheart, but *holy shit she is scary when she's mad*. Want proof? Listen to "Burn."
* **Big "NO!"**: In "Stay Alive (Reprise)" upon seeing Philip dying.
* **Break the Cutie**: Scarlett gets this hard by "The Reynolds Pamphlet," after her husband cheats on her. Then it gets worse.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Scarlett doesn't let something like societal niceness stop her from telling someone what she thinks of them.
* **Innocent Soprano**: Scarlett is a soprano to emphasize her sweetness, femininity, and naivete. Her sisters and her husband's mistress all sing in the mezzo range for contrast.
* **Nice Girl**: In the words of Anna, "You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind." She's no pushover, as we see in "Burn", but in general she is very sweet, loyal, and loving.
* **Outliving One's Offspring**: She outlives Philip.
* **Please Wake Up**: As Philip is dying, Scarlett recites numbers to Lev like when she was teaching him piano, but the second time she does, Philip stops at three, and Scarlett keeps going, hoping he'll repeat after her before letting out a heartbreaking scream of anguish.
* **Significant Green-Eyed Redhead**: Scarlett has long, rose-red hair and piercing, bright-green eyes.
* **Red Baron**: "Duchess Truin"; eventually "Duchess Ertin"; formerly "Lady Scarlett".

### Anna Riarte

* **Adorably Precocious Child**: Even as a younger child, she displayed incredible business and money sense, something remarked upon by her parents.
* **Big Sister Instinct**: Do *not* hurt Scarlett if you know what's good for you.
* **Blackmail**: If Anna can find dirt on someone whose assistance she needs, you can bet your money she will wield it against them to force them to do her bidding.
* **Brutal Honesty**: She doesn't beat around the bush; she's upfront that she expects payment for the things she does.
* **Celibate Heroine**: Anna rarely chimes in on the subject of romance, money is her only love.
* **Cool Big Sis**: The outgoing and vivacious older sister to the more passive Scarlett and Amber.
	+ "I love my sister more than anything in this life" as she says on many occasions, and sings for Scarlett during "It's Quiet Uptown"
* **Dude Magnet**: She's gorgeous, intelligent, witty, kind, and wealthy, to boot — so naturally, Anna has no issue attracting guys wherever she goes.
* **Friend in the Black Market**: The term "friend" is loose here, but Anna provides Bylur with information that are harder to get from regular information dealers.
* **Greed**: For Anna, everything begins and ends with money. This stems from her philosophy that money in this world is ultimate and can buy anything.
* **Gold Digger**: Implied, as she said she'd only marry someone if they were rich.
* **Has a Type**: She wants "a mind at work", a man who can engage with her intellectually. And also someone rich.
* **I Want My Beloved to Be Happy**: Anna has an interesting variation on this; it's Scarlett's happiness she's more concerned with, not Isaac or Bylur's.
	+ I love my sister more than anything in this life,
	+ I will choose her happiness over mine, *every time!*
* **Memetic Hand Gesture**: Resting her index finger on her face.
* **Money Fetish**: She *loves* money above all else.
* **Spirited Young Lady**: She's definitely a *lady*, but she's also very intelligent, opinionated, and able to hold her own.
* **What the Hell, Hero?**: She *really* lays into Isaac. Her Cut Song "Congratulations" is a full-on "The Reason You Suck" Speech, two minutes and fifteen seconds of her calling him a complete moron, not just for outing the affair himself, but for hurting Scarlett so terribly and that he'd better make sure any future "sacrifice" he makes is on her behalf.

### Ezra Riarte

* **The Charmer**: He proves himself quite capable of flattering women.
* **Death Seeker**: Much of his reckless actions imply Ezra doesn't really care whether he survives or not. He let Damien bite him despite knowing that it could kill him, simply stating it didn't matter to him. Damien himself also calls him out on how he acts like he's ready to throw his life away at any moment.
* **Kiss of the Vampire**: Ezra proclaims that the reason he blackmails Damien into drinking only *his* blood is because of how 'divine' it felt when he bit Ezra.
* **Long Haired Prettyboy**: Ezra's good looks are mentioned at several points, and his hair is down to his shoulders.
* **Smells Sexy**: His blood smells so sweet that catching its scent causes Damien's head to become filled with thoughts about wanting a taste.
* **The Strategist**: His expertise.
* **Troll**: Towards his enemies.

### Ulric

* **Heroes Prefer Swords**: Of course, his go-to weapons are going to be swords considering he's a Master Swordsman.

### Tana Amery

* **Lady in Red**: Played With. Tana has been shown wearing dresses in almost every color of the spectrum, but she seems fond of red jewels, probably to accentuate her eyes.
* **Poisonous Person**: Her poison intake has rendered her bodily fluids and organs toxic.
* **Symbol Motif Clothing**: She wears a butterfly motif on many of her clothes and accessories.
* **Tsurime Eyes**: Fitting for a villainess and setting her apart from her mother.
* **Wingding Eyes**: You can sometimes see butterflies in them, mostly whenever she's using her swarm.

### Aerin Amery

* **Bishōnen**: He's a very pretty man.
* **Coat Cape**: Wears his black trench coat like a cape.
* **Fashionable Asymmetry**:
	+ His hair is significantly longer and his bangs are brushed back on the left side.
	+ As a teenager, he wore his hair in a ponytail slightly to the left side of his head, and had a pair of sunglasses hanging from a pocket on his coat.
	+ Aerin has a small chain on the left side of his hat, and his belt dangles off the right side of his waist.
* **Kissing Cousins**: He's not even bothering to hide his designs towards Elidi.
* **Incest-ant Admirer**: He lusts after his younger cousin. Elidi is fully aware of that.

### Carmin Amery

* **Evil Redhead**: Not all-out evil, but definitely more violent and aggressive.
* **Good Scars, Evil Scars**: A long one running over her left eye.
* **Hell-Bent for Leather**: Her outfit is all black leather, except for small pieces of grey metal armor.
* **Knife Nut**: Dual Wielding a pair of "daggers" (really more like short swords) and throwing knives, this is pretty much her theme.

## The Riarte Opera House

### Katarina “Kat” O'Callaghan

* **Cute Little Fangs**: Sometimes shows these.
* **Speaks Fluent Animal**: She's shown to be able to converse with cats.

### Estelle Orbiana / Esmerelda Daae

* **All-Loving Heroine**: Esmerelda sincerely loves everyone, even Erik. Even after everything he's done, including kidnapping Raoul and The Persian, and threatening to blow up the Opera House, killing everyone unless she marries him, she cries with him out of genuine sympathy and compassion when he breaks down in front of her. This act alone redeems Erik, seeing what true human kindness is, releasing her, Raoul and the Persian and letting her live her life without his interference ever again.
* **Armor-Piercing Question**: Esmerelda unintentionally asks one of Erik as the Angel of Music; when Jammes is missing, she begs him to let her leave their lessons to look for her by asking him if he would do the same if a friend of his was in trouble. Erik's reply is a startled "Friend...?" and he abruptly leaves the conversation.
* **Bad Liar**: She tries to distract Erik from killing Raoul and the daroga by asking him questions about the house, which of course doesn't work, and she is never quite able to convince Erik that nothing is going on between her and her "friend" Raoul. The play even pokes fun at this by pointing out that while she is a good singer, her acting skills in the opera are highly criticized.
* **Beautiful Singing Voice**: Other characters note that her singing wasn't anything special before her lessons with the "Angel of Music", but after three months of Erik's tutelage, she's almost supernaturally skilled at singing.
* **Beast and Beauty**: With Erik in one of the most enduring examples of this trope in Gothic literature.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: During her first abduction, Esmerelda becomes infuriated when she learns her "angel" was a regular person tricking her and briefly attacks him. Her capacity to anger is even more pronounced in the play, when she finally gets fed up with Erik's shit and *snarls* at him that she hates him and that, yes, his life sucked, but she has no more sympathy for him after what he's done. Erik himself looks taken aback at this. Which makes it all the more powerful when she still has the compassion in her heart to kiss him.
* **Childhood Friend Romance**: With Raoul.
* **The Cutie**: Esmerelda is kind to everyone and utterly adorable at times. Her seeming innocence is one of her most attractive qualities - including to Erik.
* **Like Parent, Like Spouse**: Part of her attraction to The Phantom is that he reminds her of her father.
* **May–December Romance**: Erik is at least old enough to be Esmerelda's father.
* **Vocal Evolution**: Under Erik's tutelage, she goes from a light soubrette to a dark soprano of almost divine quality.

### Erik / The Phantom

* **Adaptational Angst Upgrade**: Erik's backstory is made darker than in the book; rather than running away from home and participating in fairs, he's sold to a circus by his own mother and abused until The Persian purchases him for the Shah, who *also* proceeds to abuse him.
* **Beast and Beauty**: With Esmerelda/Estelle.
* **Beneath the Mask**: Literally and figuratively. Under his mask, he may appear freakish, grotesque and frightening, but underneath it all, he's just a sad, confused man who doesn't know what to do with himself due to his freakish deformity.
* **Berserk Button**: Looking under his mask.
* **Cultured Badass**: He is a genius in art, science and music, and a skilled assassin as well.
* **Evil Makes You Ugly**: Inverted. He was born ugly and the world made him out and treated him like he was evil. He eventually became just that.
* **Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse**: Esmerelda briefly reflects that Erik's appearance must have led to him having a hard life, and then quickly dismisses it as being no reason for him to commit such terrible deeds. This is reinforced by her Breaking Speech towards him in the end of the Play.
* **Gone Horribly Right**: In backstory: The Persian tries to get Erik away from the Shah's corrupting influence by telling the Shah that Erik was colluding with Russian ambassadors, expecting him to get exiled. Instead, the Shah tries to execute him, forcing the Persian to intervene; now Erik is free from the Shah, but was given one more trauma to deal with in the process.
* **I Just Want to Be Loved**: Erik's explicit motivation. From his mother to the Persian down to Esmerelda, none of the people he has loved have actually loved him back, and his obsession with being loved for himself drove him to become cruel and murderous.
* **Love at First Note**: Towards Esmerelda. Especially mentioned in the lines "He was bound to love you when he heard you sing."
* **Love Makes You Crazy**: While the constant isolation and rejection from society didn't do Erik any favors, he's noted as going "mad" with his love for Esmerelda, which makes him even worse than before to a point that he's willing to blow up the whole opera house and everyone inside just to get her to marry him. His obsessive stalking of Esmerelda and his increasing violence utterly terrifies her.
* **Love Redeems**: When Esmerelda shows him affection, it being the first time he gets it from anyone in his life, he realizes the weight of his actions and how cruel he has been to the woman he claimed he loved and thus lets her be with the man she wants.
* **Mad Artist**: A psychotic murderer, but nonetheless a virtuoso of music.
* **Roaring Rampage of Revenge**: The Phantom dropping the chandelier is not only a scare tactic on the managers, but is made out to be his revenge on the managers and Carlotta for making Esmerelda's life a living hell.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: Esmerelda-sexual, oh so much.
* **Stalker with a Crush**: He has eyes on Esmerelda pretty much every second she's in the opera house, with or without her knowledge. He even presented himself as a literal *angel* to get her to let her guard down.
* **Together in Death**: Originally planned to do this with Esmerelda. He changed his mind later on and decided he wanted to be with his *living* wife.
* **Tom the Dark Lord**: He's known as "The Phantom of the Opera" or "Opera Ghost" to the people he terrorizes, but his real name is simply "Erik".
* **Trauma Button**: Due to the extensive abuse he suffered at the hands of the Shah, and after almost being executed by him, talking about "His Majesty" in front of Erik explicitly triggers him into a traumatized state, which the Persian takes advantage of.
* **White Mask of Doom**: Like the musical, the story changes Erik's mask color from black to white.
* **Yandere**: For Esmerelda. He developed an unhealthy obsession with her and donated his time and life towards being with her. In the climax of the play, he forces her to choose between being with him for the rest of her life or refuse him. Unfortunately, refusing him would result in the Opera House being blown up, killing everyone in there.

## Royal Elf Family

### Mavi Elnich

Mavi is the daughter of the former queen of Arwent, Rewin Elnich, and the necromancer Ronich Vermon. It is eventually revealed she is the vessel of power for Erebus, the God of Darkness.

* **Abusive Parents**: Her mother counts as this, practically forcing her to be the next queen of Arwent, with Mavi having no say in the matter.
* **Babies Ever After**: She marries Raen and adopts six orphaned children.
* **Interspecies Romance**: With Raen. Mavi is a half-elf and Raen is a necro-reaper, but it's clear they both deeply love each other.
* **Opposites Attract**: Mavi is a kind and sweet half-elf, while Raen is an arrogant and rude reaper. Doesn't make them love each other any less.
* **Parents Walk In at the Worst Time**: Walked in on Mirlan and Nevarth 'cuddling'.
* **They Do**: Married Raen and adopted six children with her.

### Sanvi Elnich

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Zaleria calls her 'Red', due to her red hair.
* **Little Big Sister**: Big sister of Zaleria, and much shorter.
* **Promotion to Parent**: Takes this role with her siblings after the loss of their biological parents.

### Mirlan Elnich

* **Ambiguously Gay**: He's told Nevarth that he will never fall in love with a woman, get a wife or have kids, which brought up he may be more or less Asexual. Yet we have that subtext with Nevarth, his brother...
* **Cuddle Bug**: Sleepy Mirlan didn't wanna let Nevarth go when they were 'cuddling'; aka Mirlan hugged Nevarth from behind and cuddled into him, refusing to let go.
* **Hot-Headed**: Mirlan gets angry rather easily, especially if anyone threatens to take away his siblings.
* **It Amused Me**: Flirts between this and For the Evulz when it comes to Nevarth, though Zaleria and Sanvi note that whatever Mirlan says around Nevarth tends to hurt more than help anything.
* **Monster Brother, Cutie Sister**: With Efyro, definitely. Mirlan is much meaner compared to the sweetheart that is Efyro.
* **Overprotective Brother**: Towards his siblings, to the point that his crippling fear of losing them and the extreme measures he goes to assure they never leave basically makes him a Gender-Inverted version of Azula.
* **Poisonous Friend**: Towards his siblings. He tries to get rid of anybody who poses even a minor threat to his siblings. Murder and torture are two methods that are not below him.
* **Sibling Yin-Yang**:
	+ With Nevarth. Nevarth is more gentlemanly, polite, and is over all a nice person while Mirlan is mean, menacing and is deemed to have an 'ugly' personality by Nevarth himself.
	+ Somewhat with Efyro, wherein Efyro is kind and sweet and Mirlan is mean and crude.

* **Yandere**: Towards his siblings. Mirlan is very mentally unstable and is willing to do anything to keep his siblings from leaving and being loved by other people.

### Zaleria Elnich

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Sanvi calls her 'Zalerie'.
* **Amazonian Beauty**: She's tall and athletic enough that her muscles are visible, yet still noticeably curvy.
* **Ambiguously Gay**: Nevarth explains that Zaleria often was seen looking at girls with a far-off look in her eyes. Then we get that subtext with Sanvi...
* **Boyish Short Hair**: Has short black hair.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Oh boy... come to Zaleria when you want the truth and nothing but the harsh truth.
	+ *"My mama told me not to lie. So I'll be honest... You're the ugliest person I've ever met."*

### Nevarth Elnich

* **Ambiguously Bi**: He's obviously into women and has said he would like to have a wife one day. Yet we still get that subtext with his older brother, Mirlan... Makes the mind wonder.
* **Affectionate Nickname**: Mirlan calls him 'Nev' while Zaleria calls him 'Neva'.
* **Tsundere**: Type B.
	+ Big time with Mirlan after becoming his caretaker when he's off his rocker for a while. While still snarky and abrasive, Nevarth expresses some vulnerability around Mirlan who calls him beautiful with all of his "Thorny pain."
	+ This exchange also stands out:
		- **Mirlan**: *(sounding concerned)* Nev, are you hurt?
		- **Nevarth**: *(slightly embarrassed)* Shut up.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: His is white.

### Efyro Elnich

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Is called 'Efy' by Arvin.
* **All Women Are Doms, All Men Are Subs**: Is definitely more dominant than Arvin, being the more talkative of the two, not afraid to speak her mind, and ruling Arwent with an iron fist. Inverted when Arvin's second personality takes over.
* **The Baby of the Bunch**: Is the youngest girl of her siblings, along with Arvin, whose the youngest boy.
* **Brother-Sister Incest**: With Arvin, who she married.
* **Monster Brother, Cutie Sister**: With Mirlan, being much kinder than him.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: Has white hair.
* **Young and in Charge**: Despite being the youngest female of her siblings, she becomes the next queen of Arwent after Mavi disappeared for 20 years, being thought to be dead.

### Arvin Elnich

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Efyro calls him 'Arvie'.
* **The Baby of the Bunch**: Is the youngest boy of his siblings, along with Efyro, whose the youngest girl.
* **Brother-Sister Incest**: With Efyro, who he married.
* **Laughing Mad**: Multiple.
	+ He starts to laugh hysterically after showing his other side to Efyro, while asking her if 'this is what she wanted'.
	+ During many of his sanity slippages, he's often seen laughing.
	+ When he found out about the person Efyro had been seeing. Let's say he wasn't too happy...
* **Multicolored Hair**: His hair is black at the top, which then fades to white.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: Efyro is the only woman he has ever wanted.
* **Split Personality**: Originally just a shy little boy who couldn't do anything by himself and required Efyro to sleep with him due to being scared of sleeping alone. After Efyro commented that she wished Arvin would 'grow up', Arvin tried to act more mature, but always seemed to fail. Efyro never imagined that Arvin would develop a more confident, yet twisted personality. Imagine Efyro's face when she sees his second personality for the first time.
* **Yandere**: His second personality, towards Efyro. It's implied his first personality was slightly this as well.
	+ He's insanely obsessed with Efyro and seriously loses all his cool and rationale when there's anything to do with her, letting his jealousy and obsession make him go out of his way to kill anyone getting in the way of him and Efyro...
	+ These exchanges stand out:
		- Arvin, after pinning Efyro's hands to the wall:
			* **Arvin**: Do you like me now, sister? Am I... to your standard? Am I mature enough? Tell me, sister! I did this for you, you know. You wanted a mature, dominant man, and that's what I became. Not a weakling like my other half. Do you like me now...? Do you like me now?!
			* **Efyro**: *(seemingly taken aback)* ...Arvie... I...
		- During his sanity slippage:
			* **Arvin**: I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you...
		- When he thinks Efyro is about to leave him for good:
			* **Arvin**: Do you want to go?! ...How badly do you want to leave my grasp?! ...You can't. You *can't*! I won't have it! I WON'T LET YOU!!

## Witches

### Mother Teresa

* **Black Eyes of Evil**: Or, at the very least, eyes that looked sinister enough that many believed them to be the eyes of the Devil.

### Sybil Rosemary

* **Badass Adorable**: Sybil is an intelligent and endearingly, if comically cash-strapped, young lady who is also a very accomplished astrologist and can weaponize her hydromancy.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Sybil always tells the truth of people's fortunes, even if it's highly unpleasant. Unsurprisingly, this earned her a bad reputation, and few people are brave enough to ask her for predictions these days.
* **The Cassandra**: Early in her career, Sybil struggled with people coming to her for answers when facing horrible circumstances, as her refusal to lie means that more often than not what they wanted to hear are rarely what they needed to hear. As such, this led to many people calling her a fraud rather than face their problems head-on. Worse, she's met and advised people who have a choice in shaping their futures, but chose to tread paths that only lead to suffering despite her warnings.
* **Character Tic**: She's fond of tenting her upper arms' fingers together when she's speaking to anyone.
* **Facial Markings**: Sybil has glowing blue tattoo-like markings under her right eye.
* **I Reject Your Reality**: Inverted. She accepts reality for what it is, but the people who come to her for assistance do not. She explains that due to being an astrologist, many people have come to her for help. But whenever her prognostications lean negative, they refused to believe her, and called her a fake.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: She is *very* prideful of her astrologist powers and has an inflated view of herself, acting haughty when it comes to matters related to it. Outside of that, however, the worst Sybil can get is just a refusal to show weakness, and she is otherwise an approachable person and loyal friend.
* **Making a Splash**: Sybil is a Hydromancer who uses water to attack her targets or move herself across the field. But aside from those, her astrology also uses hydromancy, or water divination.
* **The Stoic**: Invoked when giving out predictions. Sybil relays the true outcome of her readings even if it is hard to accept; Mercy says that she lacks human emotions whenever this happens.

### Gwendolyn Von Brandt

* **Anti-Magic**: Gwendolyn is able to use a spell that can nullify any magic in a set area.
* **Really 700 Years Old**: Appears as a small child, but her wisdom and behavior give away her life experience.

### Mercy Von Ayvelles

* **Black Cloak**: A variant, though it's more of a big, dark purple Robe and Wizard Hat that conceals her entire body.
* **Hot-Blooded**: Appropriately enough. She's impulsive, short-tempered, reckless, and uses fire magic.

## Ryum Royal Family

### Anastasia Turgor

* **Bizarre Human Biology**: In addition to generating a deadly, highly corrosive poison just by existing, Anastasia does not have a heart. She also possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and healing capabilities, and does not need to eat to sustain herself.
* **Can't Have Sex, Ever**: Anastasia's condition prevents her from skin-to-skin contact, which is naturally a barrier to physical romance. All of her family members take it in stride with little angst surrounding it, making resolutions to one day find a way to neutralize the poison. Anastasia herself is fairly innocent to the concept of sex, but does look forward towards being able to have physical contact.
* **Eating Optional**: She doesn't need to eat, but enjoys the social aspects of sitting around a table with friends and family.
* **Gem Heart**: Anastasia has a gem called the Horologium embedded in her chest that is the source of her supernatural powers, cannot be removed without killing her, and is being sought after by a lot of villains.
* **Hollywood Acid**: Though it's universally referred to as "poison," Anastasia's skin and blood act more like a fictionalized super-acid in the way that she burns and melts whatever she comes into contact with. After testing it on a variety of materials up to and including a sample of titanium, it is concluded that the reaction is something more alchemical than natural.
* **I Just Want to Be Normal**: Anastasia's greatest wish is simply to be normal, to be able to live with other people and touch them without harming them with her poison.
* **Innocent Fanservice Girl**: She initially sees no problem with casually taking off her shirt to show people the Horologium embedded in her chest.
* **My Sister Is Off-Limits!**: A Gender-Inverted version. Anastasia does not like the idea of her step-brother falling in love and getting married, and gets jealous when any girls try to hit on him. Coincidently, her brother also has this trope for her...
* **Poisonous Person**: Anastasia's body is highly corrosive, and contact with her bare skin will melt anything not specially treated with a serum developed from her blood. When a dog bites her and succeeds in breaking the skin, her blood causes the animal's head to melt off. Being enclosed with her in a poorly-ventilated space for an extended period of time is also not good for one's health.
* **Reluctant Monster**: She's never wanted to hurt anyone and is horrified by the effects of her poison on the people around her.
* **Walking Wasteland**: Anastasia corrodes everything she touches and gives off small amounts of poison just by existing.

## Residents of Ariamis

### Zuri

* **Afraid of Blood**: He dislikes the sight of blood and is absolutely horrified when he experiences his first kill in combat. He admits that he still can't get over it.
* **Ambiguous Disorder**: Chronic drowsiness when under stress, fluttering from interest to interest and only being able to focus on whatever fancies him in the moment are all characteristics of some forms of ADHD.
	+ His tendency to focus only on things that interest him and general lack of social tact at times also could indicate some mild form of Autism.
* **Animal Motifs**: Cats. He sleeps a lot, can be Innocently Insensitive, and is constantly curious. Zephyr explicitly warns him of his endless curiosity, referring to how it kills the cat.
* **Berserk Button**: The normally laid-back Zuri pretty much throws a tantrum when Ronich refuses to let him study his magic.
* **Bishōnen**: He's one of the more feminine-looking male characters among the cast, not helped by his feminine-sounding voice. In art, his pants even look like a skirt.
* **Bookworm**: He adores reading and researching magic, and his room is full of books scattered about. He is even the owner of the largest library in the whole world.
* **Brilliant, but Lazy**:
	+ He has a deep interest in magic, and the creator notes that he's actually one of the smartest cast members, but he has a hard time fighting his drowsiness and admits he gets bored easily.
* **Childhood Friends**: With Sylvia, Adira, Aaron, and pretty much the rest of the childhood friend group from Ariamis.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Zuri generally speaks in the same flat, somewhat critical tone of voice, and his interactions with the other characters often come off as pretty snarky.
* **First-Name Basis**: There is no mention of his last name until he mentions it to a guard who attempted to grab him; turns out, his surname is Chykov, and he belongs to a noble family who has one of the largest trading companies in the world.
* **Fleeting Passionate Hobbies**: He admits he tends to pick up random subjects to research, only to drop them again when he gets bored of them.
* **For Science!**: Zuri is willing to take some dangerous risks and sometimes make unknowingly inappropriate statements in the name of Magic research.
* **Hates Being Touched**: Touching Zuri in any way, unless you're Levont or Zephyr, is a huge trigger for him. Specifically forcefully grabbing him, as he is prone to yelling angrily if done so. This stems from trauma in which two older men attempted to rape him.
* **Lazy Bum**: Generally a giant slacker concerned with napping and taking it easy (unless magic get involved, to the point where his zeal for research makes him forget to eat and sleep).
* **Really Fond of Sleeping**: To the point that "Naps" is listed under his likes.
* **Recurring** **Element**: Zuri's a minor version of the "very pretty male priest that could pass as a lady" that was popularized by Lucius. He's one of the most androgynous-looking male characters in the story, as well as being a Gay Option, though unlike previous examples of the archetype, no one mistakes him for a girl at first. He admitted that his uncle used to be a bishop, and he has fairly pacifistic views about battle, as is common with the archetype.
* **Reluctant Warrior**: He hates fighting and bloodshed, and fears for both his own 'mortality' and his comrades'. Even during battle, he never fully gets over it by his own admission.
* **War Is Hell**: Zuri despises battle, loss of life, and having to kill. Zuri laments the fact that diplomacy and "decency" don't seem to accomplish much in the world, and a talk he has with Levont reveals he dreams of a war-free, peaceful world.
	+ **Zuri**: Percy, I wish to ask something of you. I... I don't want to kill. I don't want blood on my hands. I just want to lie on my back and soak up the sun filtering down through the trees... And I want you to help me make that reality.

### Lumi Vermon

Lumi is the daughter of Ronich Vermon and Sylvia, being the twin sister of Lixue Vermon and the half-sister of Mavi Elnich. As the "snow" in her name would suggest, she has a cool personality.

* **Beauty Mark**: She has one below her left eye.
* **Brother–Sister Team**: When working with Lixue.
* **Combat Hand Fan**: Her signature weapon.
* **Dance Battler**: She uses a variation of the Noh Mai classic dancing style to fight. Talking to her also reveals she actually takes dance classes.
* **Ice Queen**: She acts stoic and cold towards most people, only showing her more passionate side to Lixue and those who hurt him.
* **Icy Blue Eyes**: Indeed, and quite appropriate considering her powers.
* **Lady of War**: Fights with the utmost grace, is very calm and collected, knows housework and agriculture, and is very dignified.
* **Mistaken for Romance**: Her and Lixue.
* **To Be Lawful or Good**: The question that drives her Character Development as she seeks to determine what "Pure righteousness" really means and comes to the conclusion that it means helping those in need, even if they're labeled as "evil."
* **Warrior Poet**: Poetry is one of her hobbies, along with dancing and the likes.
* **Winter Royal Lady**: Gives off a Japanese version of this trope in her clothes and powers.

### Tiáopí Liú

* **Animal Motifs**: Cats. Even his eyes are somewhat cat-like.
* **Bishōnen**: Tiáopí has a soft and androgynous face.
* **Caught with Your Pants Down**: In a flashback. Implied to be at least part of his trauma.
* **He-Man Woman Hater**: Justified, considering he was forced to watch a woman become intimate with his own father while hiding in a closet when he was a child. He was also sexually abused by the same woman. It seems it stems more towards priestesses and nuns, since he seems fine interacting with his friends and their mothers, yet doesn't like the idea of going to temples.
* **Sir Swears-a-Lot**: If someone touches him, Tiáopí hands out F-bombs like candy on Halloween.
* **Split Personality**: Touching him will automatically change his personality from kind, sweet, and caring to angry, rude, and bloodthirsty, dropping Cluster F-Bombs like you wouldn't believe.
* **Troll**: He can get people riled up in all sorts of ways by speaking, be it by using baby talk or fluently using slang in a conversation.

### Madame Fei

* **Dual Age Modes**: Can transform from her old woman self to back to her prime as a young adult.
* **Elderly Immortal**: Even a half-human, half-reaper like Sylvia can remain youthful, but Madame Fei looks like a wizened old lady. The fact that she described herself as a "vain beauty" in her youth might explain why she has chosen to have the appearance of an elderly woman.
* **Famed In-Story**: As the face of the inn in Ariamis, she's very well-known in the village. She's also a fox envoy, and very famous among them.
* **Last-Name Basis**: She is most often called "Madame Fei" by generally everyone. Fei is a last name, and it's implied to not be her real name as a fox envoy.
* **New-Age Retro Hippie**: Let's see. In her real form, she wears psychedelic clothing reminiscent to the 1960s and has an affinity for smoking, so Fei sure does look like one. She also likes flowers.
* **Perpetual Smiler**: She's rarely seen without a smile, and is quite light-hearted.
* **Trademark Favorite Food**: Fried Tofu, as is typical of a kitsune, and more specifically in the form of *kitsune-udon*.
* **When I Was Your Age...**: She mentions that the younger generation does not appreciate flowers anymore.

## Kingdom of Hearts

### Candace Sweet

Candace "Candy" Cane Sweet is a hyperactive young girl who prances to the beat of her own percussion section. The sheer force of her cheerful personality can be overwhelming at first, but anyone who shows a little patience with her eccentricities is rewarded with a truly unique and wonderful friend who fills every day with laughter. And musical numbers. And PARTIES! Even as she defies physical reality when the situation is funny. Try to imagine a pink rocket made of happiness. That's Candy.

* **Aesop Amnesia**: Though Candace does garner *some* Character Development, being Candace, there are some quirks that are hard to shake. Her Innocently Insensitive nature and wavering ability to take important situations with needed seriousness are things she still often needs rammed into her head.
* **Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance**: Candy is a sweetheart who loves sweet treats and even works at a bakery. Maybe it's not surprising that she has cotton candy pink and blue hair with matching cotton candy eyes.
* **Attention Whore**: A loud party animal who loves being the center of attention. That said, she is a very nice character.
* **Awesomeness by Analysis**:
	+ She has an eidetic memory for what makes people happy.
* **Berserk Button**:
	+ Whatever you do, NEVER, EVER break a Pinky Promise.
	+ Don't make her burn her cakes.
	+ If a friend has trusted you with a secret, don't give it away, or Candy will not be happy!
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: You'd think that the perpetually cheerful Genki Girl with borderline Reality Warper powers would be an excellent candidate for this trope, but Candace repeatedly subverts it.
* **Beware the Silly Ones**: Yeah, a happy-go-lucky, Reality Warper young girl sounds like fun...until you realise that if Candy doesn't want you to get away from her, *you won't*.
* **Beyond the Impossible**: She can play multiple instruments at the same time *without* using her mouth.
* **Break the Cutie**: Candace is *extremely* optimistic and upbeat, and she can usually shrug off insults and sadness. However, she is easily broken if she is convinced that she is useless or that her friends don't care about her.
* **Bunny-Ears Lawyer**: Despite appearing completely insane to outsiders, Candace is regularly entrusted with important tasks by local authority figures who have known her long enough to be aware that there's a method behind her madness.
* **The Cat Came Back**: One of her stranger abilities is to appear out of nowhere when someone is trying to avoid her.
* **Cloudcuckoolander**: She is loud, unusual, and, in a word, *strange*. Depending on the situation, she can often be the *physical representation* of this trope.
* **Crazy-Prepared**:
	+ How does she set up parties so quickly? Simple. She has a *party cannon*!
	+ She keeps marshmallows on her person in case somebody eats something too spicy, and keeps rubber balls and eyepatches stashed all around the city in case of emergencies.
	+ She never leaves home without a can of baking powder.
	+ She has a file on every single person she meets, with their likes, dislikes, fears and more... even if they didn't tell her those things to begin with!
* **Cute and Psycho**: Do not break a Pinky Promise or ignore her; the cute bouncing will swiftly become relentless pursuit.
* **The Ditz**: Half of the time, she's a scatterbrain. The other half...
* **Dreadful Musician**: Zigzagged. While she loves to sing, she takes the same high energy, stream-of-consciousness approach to music as she does to everything else. Consequently, her musical numbers are usually greeted with displeasure or disdain when she launches into them, and her friends are often seen looking embarrassed in the background. However, when it comes to playing musical instruments, Candy's actually pretty good; she's a great one-person band whenever it's necessary.
	+ On the other hand, she can sing well when she wants to.
	+ Candy demonstrates that she's very good at the pipe organ, despite having never played one before.
* **Et Tu, Brute?**: One of Candy's greatest fears is that her friends will stop liking her and not want to be her friend anymore.
* **Everyone Has Standards**:
	+ Candy may love pranks, but she knows better than to prank Hesychia, who is extremely sensitive.
* **For Happiness**: Her motivation for everything; her goal in life is to make as many people smile as possible.
* **Genius Ditz**: Despite being scatterbrained and crazy, she's very good at baking, arranging parties, is an extremely proficient musician and is handed the Smart Ball fairly often.
	+ She remembers everything about everybody, because she loves to see everyone smile.
* **Girly Bruiser**: Very girly usually, but never break a Pinky Promise.
* **Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak**: A bubbly, giggly pink girl who loves singing and cooking (she works as a baker/candy maker) and is also a Nice Girl. However she has an inappropriate side, being loud, boisterous and a Big Eater.
* **Good Feels Good**: Candy genuinely feels her happiest when she makes others happy, whether it be from a joke or from one of her many parties.
* **Hammerspace**: Candy seems to have access to this, as she always seems to have what she needs for a gag.
* **Hates Being Alone**: Being alone for too long does bad things to her mental state.
* **Hidden Depths**: The story is littered with moments to show Candy as very intelligent, despite her quirky, extroverted personality. See Genius Ditz, above. Also, she isn't happy all the time, but does a good job of hiding when she isn't.
	+ If she ever feels betrayed and alone, she will perform an emotional 180 and become a recluse.
	+ Candy has a large memory of personal details (like birthdays) for every resident.
	+ It's shown that despite seeming to be completely odd in her knowledge of others, and all evidence leading to the contrary, she's so knowledgeable because she is actually very organized; to the point of having a folder for everyone she meets and all their characteristics that would help her both in befriending them, and planning their ideal party.
* **Hyper-Awareness**: Played with. Despite her often non-existent attention span, Candy usually spots the obvious before anyone else clues in.
* **Inexplicably Awesome**: Candy regularly stares at, leans on, or ignores the fourth wall with Aside Glances and Camera Abuse, defies the laws of physics whenever convenient for the plot or humor and launches into musicals when nobody else does. She's popped out of locations too small for her to fit into, appeared *inside* a mirror  and even fought the closing iris. To drive the point home, this is a setting with magic and monsters, and Candy is strange even to them. She is explicitly stated to be too weird for magic to explain.
* **Innocently Insensitive**: Candy is never mean and her goal in life being to make others happy, but she has a tendency to assume that *her* idea of fun is everybody's idea of fun.
	+ Hesychia is an exception: Candy refuses to prank her (or let others do so) because she's well aware of how sensitive Hesychia is and that she may get the wrong idea from any pranks. It's not certain if Hesychia herself appreciates Candy's protective behavior. Even then, not even Hesychia is immune to receiving this trope from her.
* **Intergenerational Friendship**: With everybody of every age, from babies to senior citizens.
* **Kindhearted Simpleton**: She is normally regarded as air-headed, socially oblivious and generally off in her own little world, but is one of the kindest people you'd ever meet.
* **Large Ham**: In her usual mood, she puts a lot of spirit into whatever she says.
* **Leaning on the Fourth Wall**: Sometimes; she's also aware of her tendencies to sing songs out of nowhere.
* **Life of the Party**: Throwing parties is her forte, and she acts like a partygoer.
* **Loon with a Heart of Gold**: She's loopy and weird, and has dedicated her life to spreading joy and laughter.

## Kingdom of Valencia

### Charity Ilula

A young woman with an eye for fashion and a generous spirit, Charity is a beautiful fashion designer. A huge fan of Fairy Tale-style romances and Happily Ever Afters.

* **Accents Aren't Hereditary**: Charity speaks with a posh Mid-Atlantic accent that doesn't match her parents' Upper Midwest accents. However, it's implied that her accent is not natural, and is an affectation she puts on to sound fancier and more upper-class.
* **Accent Slip-Up**: Charity sometimes slip out of her Mid-Atlantic accent, especially when excited.
* **Action Fashionista**: Zigzagged. Whilst Charity doesn't quite dress up enough to fit the spirit of the trope, she is a *literal* example of the trope, being a skilled fashion designer who is also a spunky Girly Bruiser with no shame about getting into fist-fights to protect her friends.
* **Attention Whore**: Charity is a benign example, as she enjoys being in the spotlight, and loves people admiring her appearance, but then, she's a fashion designer, so it's part of her job. Her generosity and kindness make this more of a quirk than a negative trait most of the time.
* **Beauty Equals Goodness**: She's as beautiful as she is generous.
* **Can't Take Criticism**: Played With. Charity can be a massive drama queen and a world-class complainer but this sort of behavior is inherent in her character and she can usually let things slide off her back. However, Charity's generosity comes from her ability to empathize with others which also means she wears her heart on her sleeve and is easily hurt when the right buttons are pushed. Those buttons are usually the quality of her work which she takes very personally or implication/statement that she is selfish or uncaring.
* **Cultured Badass**: Charity is a fashionista with some serious kung fu skill.
* **Cute, but Cacophonic**: She's pretty and she's a talented designer, but her voice when she's whining is the most grating thing you'll ever hear and she *knows* it.
* **Damsel in Distress**: Typically defied. She has a knack for getting herself out of sticky situations.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Any humor she makes that doesn't involve her being a Large Ham involves her being this.
* **Determinator**: When she wants to finish a dress, nothing's going to stop her... except multiple commitments to high-society gatherings.
* **The Empath**: Not only can she perfectly read the rest of the cast most of the time but she is ready to throw everything away to help them or a stranger in an instant.
	+ Justified in that her job as a fashion designer requires her to both be observant of minute details and form a quick and accurate judgment of someone's personality.
* **Etiquette Nazi**: A more benign one; while she can get exasperated by people being "rude", she can move from this and maintain civility and friendship with relative ease and she honestly believes it is for their own good.
* **Fake Brit**: In-universe, it's heavily implied that Charity’s accent is an affectation and part of her fashionista persona – None of her family members speak with the accent.
* **The Fashionista**:
	+ Played with in that Charity is never seen gushing about shopping or poring over fashion magazines. Instead she's written as a (somewhat haughty) professional artist whose medium happens to be clothes. When she's working, her demeanor changes entirely: She's overjoyed to be in her element and won't stop or cut corners until the customer has *exactly* what they want no matter how hard she has to work.
* **Favors for the Sexy**: Charity can flirt/charm/seduce males into doing favors for her or her friends.
* **Femme Fatale**: A benign example but she's not above seducing others to get what she wants.
* **The Finicky One**: Being a perfectionistic Neat Freak with obsessive tendencies, she qualifies.
* **Four-Temperament Ensemble**: Melancholic — work-focused, artistic, and obsessed with detail.
* **Girly Bruiser**: Charity is *very* classically feminine and dainty, but she's also very tough. She can do pretty well at sports or physical activities (once she gets over her distaste for dirt and muck), she is quick to accept a challenge, tends to get surprisingly physical in a fight, and is in fact usually the first to get ready *to* fight.
* **Girly Girl**: She's beautiful, poised, elegant, well-mannered, and works as a fashion designer and seamstress.
* **Girly Girl with a Tomboy Strea**k:
	+ Charity happily presents herself as 100% the girly-girl type in her daily life, but she's also a Girly Bruiser and displays no shame in this more rugged side of herself.
	+ Seems to like heavy metal music as her chops are absolutely righteous when she shreds an amazing solo... on an acoustic guitar.
* **Good Feels Good**: She is really truly *happy* when she helps other people. This is exemplified when she goes to extreme lengths to design dresses for her friends to their exact specifications even though they are incredibly tacky by the final revision. Her "I Am" Song "Generosity" permanently cements that she loves to help others, believing that if you help them, they'll remember your kindness and repay you in their own way.
* **Good Old Fisticuffs**: Despite her proficiency with levitation, most times she's gotten into a serious fight, she's opted to get her hands dirty.
* **Gratuitous French**: Justified, as many of the fashion terms come from French.
* **Greater Need Than Mine**: She's been shown as willing to make big sacrifices in the name of helping someone else.
* **Haughty "Hmph"**: She often does this as part of her Fashion Designer vibe.
* **Hoist by Her Own Petard**: Played With. Three times she's gotten herself into severe trouble but it's never done by ego or pride; instead it's either her generosity getting the best of her or her work being so good that it has unforeseen consequences.
* **I Am Very British**: While it's actually a "Mid-Atlantic" accent , she speaks with it to highlight her poshness.
* **Laser-Guided Karma**: She sometimes falls victim to this whenever she has greedy thoughts, mostly concerning her love for gems or fashion.
* **Milking the Giant Cow**: Gets like this when she turns on the ham.
* **Mind over Matter**: No other magic-user has displayed the ability to telekinetically manipulate multiple small objects with as much precision as Charity does with her dressmaking supplies. In contrast, however, she has a relatively small weight limit in what she can lift with telekinesis.
* **Mr. Vice Guy**: Her vice is vanity. She often displays humorous superficiality and fusses over neatness and can sometimes get carried away by her love of attention. Still, far from being perpetually self-centered, she can be very considerate towards others and her caring for her friends is perhaps the strongest motivation she displays.
* **Neat Freak**: Obsessed with cleanliness and keeping things in order.
* **No Sense of Personal Space**: Most of the time she has a pretty good grasp on this but when she's excited or agitated, she can get rather close to the person she's talking to.
* **Not So Above It All**: Charity likes to present herself as refined and ladylike, but has the chops for physical and situational comedy like the rest of the cast.

### Pomeline Apple

* **Bad "Bad Acting"**: Justified, for the same reasons she's a Bad Liar.
* **Bad Liar**: Pomeline isn't one to lie, but when she does, she's *terrible* at hiding it.
* **Big Eater**:
	+ Pomeline's heavy farm chores burn a lot of energy, so she is used to eating a lot of food.
* **Boring, but Practical**: Her love of apples and her Appeal to Tradition are just the tip of this iceberg.
* **Broken Ace**: She's incredibly gifted and relied on frequently; because of this she cannot take failing someone even in the most understandable of circumstances, and works herself ragged trying to please everyone above her capabilities. Her arrogance can perk up and hinder things at times as well.
* **Bruiser with a Soft Center**: True to her "cowgirl" demeanor, Pomeline is a rowdy and assertive Cute Bruiser, but ultimately friendly and rational-minded.
* **Brutal Honesty**: Moments like this are to be expected with her.
* **Buffy Speak**: She often stutters when speaking about subjects she doesn't understand or when she is confused. Her "countryisms" could qualify too as she sometimes just puts words together in a country accent, even if they aren't real words.
* **Can't Take Criticism**: She is very sensitive when criticized. It probably has to do with her stubborn nature.
* **The Cassandra**: She'll often point out whenever anyone attempt to lie to spare another's feelings that it's always best to tell someone the truth as soon as possible than to continue having to maintain a lie.
* **The City vs. the Country**: Sometime after her parents passed away, Pomeline decided to move in with her Aunt and Uncle to the big city since she didn't want to spend all her life in a "boring old farm" but upon realizing that she didn't like her relatives' lifestyle and how much she missed her grandmother, older brother and the farm life, she immediately went back to the farm.
* **Country Music**: Turns out she's quite proficient with the fiddle, the banjo, the flute and the guitar.
* **Determinator**: She becomes this especially if/when her stubbornness gets the better of her.
* **Four-Temperament Ensemble**: Choleric: extroverted, confident and stubborn.

### Cherry Blossom

* **Friend to All Children**: It goes with the territory, considering she's loved by all her students.
* **Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher**: Zigzagged. She talks like a kindergarten teacher to her students but explains setting concepts (like history and biology) more akin to a middle-school teacher, and on the blackboard she often has advanced planetary physics equations.
* **Nice Girl**: She's very good with kids.
* **Schoolmarm**: A textbook example of this; the only teacher in a rural community school that consists of one room.
* **Sweet Baker**: Cherry is kind, friendly, and, according to Pomeline's older brother, "sweeter than everything in the bakery".

## Dragons

### Kamish

* **Didn't See That Coming**: After calling her "smart and fast and beautiful," Kamish is taken completely by surprise when Zorya kisses him.
* **The Hedonist**: Kamish seems to enjoy pleasure and the good things in life, such as drinking, partying and sex.
* **Hero-Worshipper**: Kamish *really* admires Zorya for her acts of courage and heroism, and is one of the reasons he falls in love with her.
* **The Mentor**: Kamish takes this role for Zorya, not only teaching her the fundamentals of magic and showing her the ropes when it comes to flying, but also teaching Zorya to shapeshift into and out of human form.

### Hesychia

It's widely known that Hesychia is kind to every creature in the world, no matter how big or small. Though she's a soft-spoken one, Hesychia is a great cheerleader. Sweet and caring, she makes plenty of space in her tucked-away cottage for helping anyone in need of her love and care, especially her little animal friends. But don't be fooled. When push comes to shove, she'll always stand up for her friends.

* **Acrophobic Bird**: Hesychia is afraid of heights despite having the ability to fly. Said fear of heights also appears in flashbacks to her childhood. Justified, as she's noted in-universe as being a weak flier under normal circumstances (though she's demonstrated that she's actually capable of being much stronger when pushed).
* **Animal Lover**: She loves animals, looks after them, and one of her, well, *pet* peeves is an animal in danger.
* **Apologizes a Lot**: It's like she was brought up in a culture where apologizing is the social grace for *everything you ever do*.
* **Badass Adorable**: THE ultimate cute dragon, second to none and the crowning example. Don't let her timid demeanor fool you: If you upset her enough to spur her into action, she *will* kick your ass and she *won't even have to resort to violence to do it*.
	+ She stares and talks down a dragon to the point of tears and then a cockatrice *that was in the process of petrifying her* to protect her friends from harm.
* **Badass Pacifist**: She never resorts to violence, even when enraged, and is the resident Friend to All Living Things. And yet she is able to scold a nest of angry bees into not attacking, pacify an angry Manticore, admonish a dragon into submission, and make a cockatrice almost soil itself after she gave it "The Stare", staring down a creature whose own stare was turning her into stone.
* **Beauty Equals Goodness**: She's as beautiful as she is kind. In-universe, without even trying, she's considered beautiful enough to be a supermodel.
* **Berserk Button**:
	+ No matter who you are, you do not! Hurt! Her! Friends!
	+ Hesychia also really loathes bullies, which makes sense when you consider what her childhood was like.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: Hesychia is generally pleasant and innocent, but even she can get pushed past her limit. She won't necessarily hurt you (at least, not much), but it's still best to steer clear of her at all costs...
	+ Despite being terrified of facing a full-grown dragon, she suddenly develops the wherewithal to make said dragon back down and even break down sobbing after seeing what it's done to her friends.
* **Beyond the Impossible**: She *outstares* a cockatrice, i.e. a creature that turns others to stone *by staring at them*. All while protecting three young kids.
* **Break Them by Talking**: When needing to put her foot down, she is *surprisingly skilled at getting creatures to back down, whether it be talking to or talking down to* them. The effect varies, but it's never out of spite.
* **Brutal Honesty**:
	+ She learns that sometimes it is necessary to be stern for the good of others, a lesson which she retains.
* **The Comically Serious**: Hesychia counts as The Quiet One variant. In scenes where she tries to be loud, the best she can manage is a pitiful little squeak or something resembling Flat Joy, in spite of her sincerity. What lands her in this trope is the fact that she genuinely believes she *is* being loud.
* **Cowardly Lion**: She's usually a pushover, terrified of danger, and happily admits to being "weak and helpless", but get her protectively angry and her willpower multiplies by a factor of a million.
* **Determinator**: When it comes to helping others whom she cares for, she'll do whatever it takes to make them happy.
	+ She stares down a cockatrice that is using its gaze attack to turn her to stone and it works!
* **Four-Temperament Ensemble**: Phlegmatic: peaceful, compassionate and docile.
* **Friend to All Living Things**: She takes this trope to the extreme; she loves the ugly or mean creatures just as much as the nice cute little critters.
	+ She's even a Friend to Bugs and perhaps *especially* the bugs.
	+ The only exceptions are adult dragons, whom she's afraid of, but even then she'll comfort them when they stop acting hostile, sometimes to the point of tears.
* **Girly Girl**: Hesychia is conventionally feminine. She's kind, sweet, motherly, beautiful, loves animals and tea parties, knows how to sew, and she's even worked as a fashion model.
* **Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak**: Hesychia is very sweet, nurturing, graceful, and usually adverse to violence, but she doesn't mind getting dirty with her animal friends.
* **Ironic Fear**: She's afraid of... a lot of things, but since she's a Dragon, the one that fits here is her fear of heights.
* **Kindly Vet**: She is usually shown healing injured animals.
* **Lovable Coward**: She can get dangerous when the time calls for it but most of the time she is scared of her own shadow, and downright adorable because of it.

## The Guardians of the Mother Tree

### Nyx

* **Really 700 Years Old**: By her two tails, she is most likely somewhere within the two-hundred range.
* **Iron Lady**: She doesn't take any crap at her job.

### Zephyr

* **All Take and No Give**: He has this relationship with Zuri, with the twist that it was Zephyr's own idea. Because Zuri took him in, he fully intends to spend the rest of his life doing any task, no matter how menial, Zuri requires or even might require in the future.
* **Ambiguously Brown**: He's noticeably darker than the rest of the characters.
* **Brutal Honesty**: If Zephyr has criticism for someone, he'll make no effort to be delicate in his phrasing.
* **Even the Guys Want Him**: Played for Laughs as every man who tastes his foods asks him to be his wife, which he always turns down.
* **Friendless Background**: Zephyr hasn't made any friends, and his standoffish nature doesn't welcome people to approach him and talk.
* **Good Scars, Evil Scars**: He has a scar on the right side of his forehead.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: Initially. He later drops the Jerk part.
* **Straight Man**: To the Guardians, especially Zorya. Whenever they're being particularly conspicuous or silly, he'll be there, exasperated.
* **Stuff Blowing Up**: One of his many skills is making explosives.
* **Tsundere**: Very much a Tsun. Zephyr can be harsh to his companions, and doesn't hesitate to criticize them when he sees fit. That said, he can be quite tender to them when he wants to be.
* **Workaholic**: He's crazy about his work to the point where he appears standoffish, doing multiple jobs for Zuri with gusto (even if Zuri doesn't ask him). He dislikes people offering to do his work for him or help him with it.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: White.

### Zorya

* **Arrow Catch**: A variant. She is good at using her blades to cut and deflect arrows in mid air.
* **Battle Couple**: With Kamish, who she LOVES to show off for by cutting down foes.
* **Brave Scot**: Has a firm Scottish accent, and is an amazing fighter.
* **Child Prodigy**: Implied. She began training at a young age because Kamish saw she had great skill and potential.
* **Cool Sword**: Two of them, modeled after the real-world balisong (butterfly knife). They can also turn into climbing axes.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: When she's in a bad mood or trying to distract someone, she tends to get very sarcastic. Also, she isn't afraid to let loose with biting snark when she thinks someone's about to do something stupid.
* **Expressive Ears**: It's subtle most of the time but if you look closely you can see her ears moving particularly when her emotions run high.
* **Facial Markings**: One blue claw on each cheek. This seems to be a trait she shares with other Moon Dragons.
* **Horned Humanoid**: Has two horns curling visibly from the top of her head. This is a Moon Dragon trait she shares with the rest of her kind.
* **Interplay of Sex and Violence**: Zorya is so good at fighting that she uses killing enemies as a sort of flirting method to impress Kamish. Kamish loves it.
* **The Lancer**: Is this to Kamish. Whenever he's cautious or levelheaded, she tends to be stubborn and headstrong. Whenever Kamish is being rash or reckless, she tends to be the calming influence.
* **Lunacy**: Moon Dragons draw their power from the moon.
* **Misplaced Accent**: She's a dragon, living alongside other dragons, and even Kamish commented that he doesn't know where Zorya picked up her accent from since her parents didn't have them, nor did any other dragon where she was from.
* **Muscles Are Meaningless**: Is said to be the fastest and strongest of the Moon Dragons, but looks like a typical skinny girl. Partially justified since she has a Moon Primal connection, which allows her to be faster and stronger than her physique would suggest.
* **Mystical White Hair**: Like the rest of the Moon Dragons, symbolizing her moon powers.
* **Official Couple**: With Kamish towards the end of The Mother Tree Arc.
* **Reverse Grip**: She is sometimes seen holding her twin blades this way.
* **Single Woman Seeks Good Man**: Zorya becomes an Official Couple with Kamish because of his many admirable qualities: Intelligence, kindness, humility, bravery, sensitivity, and being there for her at her lowest.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: White.

## The Vampire Realm

### Elizabeth Báthory

Countess Elizabeth Báthory was a noblewoman who was renowned as a Serial Killer, kidnapping, torturing, and murdering dozens of young peasant girls. She also drained her victims of their blood so that she could bathe in it, believing that it held the secret to eternal youth. These tales earned her nicknames such as "The Blood Countess" and "Countess Dracula". She also started the vampire race alongside Dracula.

* **Appearance Angst**: Elizabeth is so afraid of the ravages of age that she bathes in the blood of young virgins in an attempt to protect her youthful appearance forever.
* **Attention Whore**: After being outed as the serial killer who bathed in her victims' blood, Elisabeth Báthory was house-arrested in her castle. Her windows were sealed because she was always wailing non-stop for the attention of her wardens.
* **Bad Boss**: Most of her crimes were against her own servants.
* **Beethoven Was an Alien Spy**: She believes that bathing in blood will keep her young. She is a vampire, so it most likely is true.
* **Blood Bath**: She is reputed to have bathed in the blood of her victims.
* **Blood Countess**: She's probably the Trope Maker for this character archetype.
* **Blue-and-Orange Morality**: Because of the combination of her upbringing and mental illness, she honestly doesn’t see her actions as wrong. As a noble, the lives of the peasants that she tortured and whose blood she drained for her bath meant nothing as peasants were nothing more but cattle for her to slaughter. Her Character Development is all about trying to fully understand exactly why those acts were wrong and how to better herself over it.
* **Boarding School of Horrors**: Lesser gentry sent their daughters to her castle to learn courtly etiquette. She chose many of her victims from her pupils.
* **Convicted by Public Opinion**: Again, she never received a proper trial.
* **Fairest of Them All**: Her blood baths are the result from her compulsion to remain young and/or beautiful.
* **Femme Fatale**: Gorgeous and seductive, but also a serial killer.
* **Hates Being Alone**: She acts cold and distant, but she actually can't stand to be by herself or imprisoned.
* **Immortality Immorality**: Her aims to stay eternally young and beautiful make her a monstrous mass murderer.
* **The Power of Blood**: She requires gallons of blood daily in order to bathe in it. It's also how she can increase her power... in theory.
* **Red Baron**: Blood Countess, or Countess Dracula.

### Dracula

Vlad III, mostly called Count Dracula, is an infamous Vampire who, alongside Elizabeth, started the vampire race.

* **Evil Overlord**: He's the fearful vampiric count of Transylvania after all.
* **Kiss of the Vampire**: Dracula's bite has some very sexual overtones to it, with the process described as "seduction" on more than one occasion.
* **Manipulative Bastard**: He gets very far on nothing but his charm. He's so good at it that its all but stated that he has some sort of hypnotic powers.
* **Red Baron**: Count Dracula.
* **Terms of Endangerment**: Unfailingly polite to all of the men, and downright tender with the women. In context, it comes off as *extremely* menacing.

### Sir. Lancelot

* **Former Teen Rebel**: Lancelot was... quite rougher around the edges while younger. According to Elaine, he was kind of a prankster as a child and a huge brawler as a teenager/young adult (and a bit of a manwhore), only growing into a Reasonable Authority Figure around the time he married Elaine.
* **The Good King**: Accounts of his life paint him as this.
* **Good Parents**: He truly cares for his children.
* **Love at First Sight**: He says this was how he fell in love with Elaine.

### Elaine

* **Creepy Cool Crosses**: She has a lot of inverted cross imagery across her dress.
* **Elegant Gothic Lolita**: A black dress with cross imagery and fitting headdress are her trademark outfit.
* **Mama Bear**: A downplayed example, as she's normally kind and gentle, but she crafts a special barrier over her entire kingdom to keep it safe, and is also willing to jump in front of an exploding sword just to defend her children.
* **Mum Looks Like a Sister**: She doesn't look quite old enough to be Alice and Nova's mother.
* **Mystical White Hair**: A white-haired vampire.
* **Red Eyes, Take Warning**: More like Pinkish-Red Eyes Take Warning, but...

### Alice

The Princess of the Vampires, Alice is a sadist who delights in punishing and humiliating others, especially her own brother.

* **Anti-Villain**: Eventually becomes this, given her actual goal is to turn humans into her "puppets" to preserve their innocence, personality and appearance so that they never have to suffer as puppets do not feel traumatized.
* **Ax-Crazy**: Wastes little time in demonstrating just how much of a psycho she is, killing people left and right with pleasure, though most of her victims appear to be Asshole Victims.
* **Benevolent Boss**: She is very kind to her puppets and refuses to think of using them as shields. She also fights alongside her puppets and treats them as her friends, which is a lot more then she treats other people.
* **Berserk Button**: If someone thinks or does something perverted about her.
* **Bitch in Sheep's Clothing**: She seems like a nice, if extremely flirtatious girl. Then she starts killing people...
* **Bi The Way**: Alice is *very* straightforward with her sexuality, admitting that "seeing cute girls excites her" and her main torture targets are men. While it isn't said what her type is, it is important to note that she, jokingly, said her type was "someone who can withstand her torture", but it obviously was a joke, which Luca pointed out. She then said her type was "someone who understands and can deal with her pain", which is a much more serious answer, and not even Luca or Nova could tell if she was lying or not.
* **Blue and Orange Morality**: It's hard to tell whether her motives are good or bad. On one hand, she's "devouring" humans to turn them into puppets, preserving their innocence, personality and appearance, intending to make them unable to suffer. On the other, she makes those killings as sadistic as possible.
* **Consummate Liar**: By her own admission.
* **Cute and Psycho**: Unlike most of the other main characters who are sweet or Tsundere, her sweetness is only a front for her psychotic personality. It doesn't seem the cute half is completely fake as she killed some guys for hurting a defenseless kitten, it's just her psychotic side that is more prominent.
* **Damsel out of Distress**: It's no easy feat to kidnap her or restrain her and she might get out before anyone arrives to save her.
* **Dark Action Girl**: Unlike most of the other characters, she is very aware of her murderous actions, and is the most dangerous vampire to date with a S-level threat classification.
* **Dude Magnet**: Many men are attracted to her.
* **First-Name Basis**: She makes no mention of her surname willingly, at first.
* **Friend to All Living Things**: Just not human beings... or at least the nastier side of humanity considering the people we've actually seen her kill are not exactly saints. The puppets often make note of how kind she is to them, even going so far as to think of them as her fellow vampires, because of the rather harsh treatment they often get from others.
* **Gratuitous French**: Her "Fleuve d'étoiles" whip's name means "River of Stars".
* **Interplay of Sex and Violence**: She seems to enjoy inflicting pain on, and otherwise punishing, other people a little *too* much...
* **Kick Chick**: Alice is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, being able to land successful and painful kicks when angered or agitated, as seen when she easily took Avery and Luca down with one swift kick.
* **Kick the Dog**: Alice gets the most personal pleasure out of making Nova suffer. However, some of her methods (covering him in watermelon seeds and mayonnaise) aren't exactly the most effective means of doing so.
* **Knife Nut**: Alice has several throwing knives concealed on her belt on her left thigh.
* **Ms. Fanservice**: She's a large-breasted albino who consistently wears skimpy outfits, carries a whip, is frequently subject to Clothing Damage, almost always fights other women, is often depicted in cosplay outfits and sometimes maid costumes, is occasionally captured and tied up, and is commonly drawn from provocative angles or with emphasis on suggestive body parts.
* **Polar Opposite Twins**: Alice is brash, emotional and sadistic, compared to Nova who is soft-spoken, quiet and masochistic.
* **The Power of Love**: Loke claims this is why their bond is strong enough that he can summon himself without using up her magic power. She denies anything of the sort.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: Alice is the loud and *very* emotional Red Oni to Nova's quiet and not openly emotional Blue Oni.
* **Sadist**: The major attribute that makes her the total opposite of Nova is that, while her brother lives to be punished, Alice would much rather do the punishing.
* **The Sociopath**:
	+ She admits to being this in song. Telling Nova that she loves him as much she is capable of, which consists of enjoying the sex and how they look together. However, Character Development sets in as the feeling of actual love is foreign to her and she does experience other emotions when it comes from her childhood past. She simply prefers what is safe such as Ambition Is Evil. She’s still largely selfish.
* **Strong Family Resemblance**: She looks virtually identical to her mother, Elaine.
* **Took a Level in Kindness**: Way back when she first appears, she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who, while caring towards her puppets and friends (as much as she can be), is more inclined to punishing them for no good reason. As the story progresses, she becomes more mature, friendly, heroic and self-confident. To a degree, that is...
* **Twincest**: It is shown that Nova has some romantic feelings for her, but cannot express them in a healthy, positive way.
* **What Measure Is a Non-Human?**: Her defining trait as a puppeteer is that she treats all of her puppets as living, feeling beings rather than tools to be used.
* **Whip It Good**: She carries her Fleuve d'étoiles. She can also turn it into a sword.
* **You Gotta Have Blue Hair**: She has white hair.

### Nova

* **Bedmate Reveal**: Alice reveals to have woken up several times with Nova next to her.
* **Bishōnen**: Even prettier than Loke. He's attractive to the point where Alice compliments his beauty and Loke fears he would grab the girls' attention away from him; and *he does*.
* **Catchphrase**: "Are you going to punish me?"
* **Clueless Chick Magnet**: It only takes him going out once for the girls around Loke to focus on him instead, but Nova has yet to notice. Not that he would care if he did, since his attraction is "reserved for Alice-San only".
* **Cute and Psycho**: While his kind and happy nature is genuine, that doesn't mean he's completely harmless. Aside from his already existing Yandere tendencies, he also enjoys horror books for how helpless the victims are in them.
* **Creepy Monotone**: Once he reveals his true personality, this is his default tone of voice.
* **Dark and Troubled Past**: It's strongly implied that he was horrendously bullied his entire life, and given that he's very quick to offer to take his clothes off when he thinks Alice is mad at him, it's possible he was sexually harassed as well.
* **Desperately Craves Affection**: He was bullied so severely throughout his life that he's convinced that the only way people will pay attention to him is to humiliate himself in front of them. This is shown to have some *very* dark consequences when he's in his vampire form, as he commits murder in the name of his "beloved", who is most likely Alice.
* **Disproportionate Retribution**: He pretty much asks to be punished by Alice over everything, even when he does something right.
* **Hates Being Alone**: He's willing to go to extremes, such as degrading himself in front of Alice, giving her his money, being exploited, and taking all kinds of abuse from her if it means he won't be alone.
* **Love Makes You Evil**: Claims that he murders because it would have pleased the only one who ever truly loved him. It's implied (and later confirmed) that this person is Alice.
* **Nightmare Fetishist**: He likes horror books because of how helpless the victims are in them.
* **Polar Opposite Twins**: Alice is brash, emotional and sadistic, compared to Nova who is soft-spoken, quiet and masochistic.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: Alice is the loud and *very* emotional Red Oni to Nova's quiet and not openly emotional Blue Oni.
* **School Bullying Is Harmless**: Ahahaha, **no**. Nova's been systematically abused by his peers ever since childhood, and learned that the only way his sister would be willing to pay him the slightest bit of mind was to utterly humiliate himself in front of her. If he feels Alice is getting bored by his company, he'll offer to perform degrading acts like stripping or imitating a sea turtle laying eggs.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: It is heavily implied that he is madly in love with Alice, and it's outright confirmed. Nova claims that Alice was the only person who showed him "love and affection" hence his extreme devotion to her.
* **That Came Out Wrong**: He says that he "pleaded with (Alice) in many ways" to get her to help him look for Amanda, prompting Alice to tell him "Don't say anything that'll make people take it the wrong way..."
	+ He also tries to help strengthen his and Alice's alibis by saying they "woke up together that morning." Everyone is quick to ask what kind of situation that was, which Nova says is because he "accidentally fell asleep next to Alice."
* **Too Kinky to Torture**: He asks to be punished *all the time*. The times Alice punishes him, he looks like he enjoys it.
* **Weakness Turns Him On**: Nova declared that he wants to be Alice's private nurse and take care of her forever. He also wouldn't mind her being crippled for the rest of her life so that she needs to depend on him.
* **Yandere**: He shows shades of this, both after revealing that he killed for the sake of someone he loved (who is heavily implied, and later confirmed, to be his sister) and towards Alice in one scene, in which he openly contemplates rendering her an invalid so he can take care of her forever. It's hinted that he could become a fully-fledged Yandere if he's pushed too far.

### Jacob

*"Indeed, I am. Lady Alice gave me a home when nobody else would. I will happily serve her until my dying day."*

Jacob, also known as Virgo by Alice, is a dutiful butler who can burrow underground and manipulate earth, making him one of Alice's top combat-ready puppets. From household chores to combat, he can do it all, but he doesn’t show an ounce of friendliness towards anyone besides Alice.

* **Abusive Parents**:
	+ As revealed by Jacob, his parents were nobles who straight-up abandoned him at the vampire castle to be a servant.

* **Because You Were Nice to Me**: He explains to Amanda that Alice was kind to him when nobody else was during his early days as a butler. That's why he's so devoted to her.
* **Bishōnen**: An archetypical one, with slender, feminine looks, long hair, and a pleasant voice (helped by his British accent).
* **Bodyguard Crush**: Has this towards Alice.
* **Dark and Troubled Past**: It's revealed that he was mistreated and abused by his parents for as long as he can remember before they ultimately abandoned him to become a servant to the vampires purely so they could be rid of him. And even then, he was still constantly belittled and mistreated by the rest of the palace staff until Alice came into his life, which is why he's both devoutly loyal to her and why he's so anti-social to everyone else. He even outright says that Alice was the *only* person in his life up to that point who ever treated him with kindness.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: Some of his words involve some blunt sarcasm left and right, *especially* with Amanda.
* **Dishing Out Dirt**: He specializes in Earth Magic, specifically Diver, to burrow underground and manipulate earth.
* **Fainting**: He ends up *fainting from Alice praising him*.
* **Haughty Help**: Jacob is Alice's personal butler and attendant, and serves her with the utmost care and is unfailingly polite to her, even when things are rough. However, he's snobbish and rude to everyone else and strikes up conversations with others, even Alice's close friends, just to mock them.
* **Hidden Heart of Gold**: If anyone so much as implies Jacob is actually a nice guy deep down, he will belligerently deny it and try to prove them wrong.
* **Hyper-Competent Sidekick**: Alice wants for nothing with Jacob - he's good at chores, cooking, holds vast knowledge on almost any subject, and is highly skilled in combat. According to Alice, however, this wasn't always the case; his parents were nobles who turned him over to the vampire royal family, so at first he didn't know how to do most things, and it was only thanks to Alice that he stayed in service.
* **I Am Very British**: Speaks with a very formal Received Pronunciation accent.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: Is callous to sometimes-hilarious extents towards almost anyone who isn't Alice, who he loyally and enthusiastically serves.
* **Love Confession**:
	+ "*I love you...I was always afraid to say it, but from now on I will tell you every single day. I love you."*
* **No Social Skills**: Is rude and dismissive to almost everyone.
* **Parental Abandonment**: He eventually reveals that he was turned over to the vampire royal family as a child, and he never saw his Blue Blood parents again. He even tells Amanda that he cannot remember what his parents looked like.
* **The Reliable One**: Jacob proves himself to be a great asset to Alice in innumerable departments from combat, to household chores, to advising. He even knows every inch of the vampire kingdom in case Alice should ever need directions.
* **Sugar-and-Ice Personality**: He's attentive and kind towards Alice, but very rude and abrasive towards almost everyone else.
* **True Companions**: If Alice is ever in peril, Jacob *will* be there to aid her. His personal skill specifically serves to protect Alice, and no matter what path she decides to take or the choices she makes, Jacob will *never* be an enemy.
* **Tsundere**: A mild type A. Most of the time when he does something nice, his words are along the lines of "it's not for you" or "I have nothing better to do anyway".
* **Tunnel King**: His main ability, Diver, allows Jacob to travel underground as simply as swimming in water. With this spell, Jacob can create holes to either trap someone or utilize as an escape method.
* **Voluntary Shapeshifting**: He adapts his looks to his owner's taste, though not for much else.

### Luca

* **Cannot Spit It Out**: He is not really good about voicing his feelings on *anything,* let alone romantic ones.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: Even before he understands why, Luca gets pissed when other guys hit on Alice.
* **Dark and Troubled Past**: His parents used him as a tool to overthrow the Vampire Royal Family, and he accidentally put them into a deep coma via his powers.
* **Does Not Like Spam**: Much is made of Luca's dislike of onions, leeks, and miso. It's occasionally used as blackmail to get him to do something. And when he willingly cooks with leeks to make something for Alice when she's sick, it's one of the earliest indications of how dear she is to him.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: He is actually kind, but hates it because he thinks kindness is a form of weakness.
* **Kissing Cousins**: Him and Alice are cousins, and were engaged as children.
* **The Rival**: Avery is Luca's rival in life as well as in love through the story.
* **Single-Target Sexuality**: He has never shown attraction for anyone other than Alice.
* **Tsundere**: A male Harsh type and very much justified due to his difficult childhood. Luca is abrasive, hotheaded, and violent, but also very sensitive and vulnerable beneath that tough guy act. While it's clear how he feels about Alice, he doesn't know how to express it aside from getting red-faced around her.

### Avery

* **Dark and Troubled Past**: He was an orphaned as a child. The orphanage he resided would do daily and horrific experiments on the children, and he got the worse of it.
* **The Rival**: Luca is Avery's rival in life as well as in love through the story.

### Esme Amdis von Adrasteia-D'Arcy

* **Cleavage Window**: Her dress has an opening in the middle of her chest, although she doesn't have much cleavage to show.
* **Elegant Gothic Lolita**: She dresses in a black gothic lolita outfit.
* **Girlish Pigtails**: Her twintails add to her childlike appearance.
* **I Am a Monster**: She calls herself and vampires in general as "blood-sucking and undying monsters."
* **Rose-Haired Sweetie**: Subverted. She has pink hair but doesn't have the traits associated with this trope.
* **She's Got Legs**: She wears a short dress with knee-high boots that highlights her legs.
* **Showgirl Skirt**: The skirt of her dress is ankle length at the back and mid-thigh length at the front, displaying her legs.
* **Signature Headgear**: Her Girlish Pigtails are held up by a pair of black hairpieces that resemble bat wings, as an indication that she's a vampire.
* **Used to Be a Sweet Kid**: When she was a young girl, she was cheerful and upbeat. One thousand years later, she is anything but those two things.

### Charles Ruthven

* **Card-Carrying Villain**: Ruthven is pretty unabashedly evil, as made evident by his Villain Song *She'll Be Mine*.
* **Parental Neglect**: When having a meal with Teresa, he tells her that he never ate his meals with his parents since they were too busy to give him attention.

### Gareth

Duke Ruthven's knight, champion, and friend since childhood. He's an intensely strong fighter, and is intensely loyal to his Duke.

* **The Dragon**: He's Duke Ruthven's bodyguard/head henchman/enforcer, etc.
* **Hidden Depths**: It's clear that he cares very deeply for Ruthven, no matter how much he tries to hide it or how much Ruthven frustrates him.

## Tabor

### Ravenna

* **Animal Motifs**: Ravens obviously.
* **Does Not Like Men**
	+ **Ravenna**: I was ruined by a king like you once. I replaced his queen, an old woman. And in time, I too would have been replaced. Men use women. They ruin us. And when they are finished with us, they toss us to the dogs like scraps.
* **Even Evil Has Loved Ones**: For all her evilness, she does seem to care about her brother Finn, and breaks down in tears at his death. She loves her mother and her sister Freya too (not that it stops her from betraying the latter).
* **Evil Overlord**
* **Evil Sorcerer**
* **Fairest of Them All**: At least until Anastasia is born age.
* **Faux Affably Evil**: Ravenna is polite and courteous towards Anastasia when they first meet. It doesn't last long.
* **Freudian Excuse**: Her mother was murdered when she was just a child and she and her siblings were taken captive by an evil king, who is implied to have raped her. She and siblings also grew up in poverty. As a result, she hates men and believes that being beautiful and cruel is the only way to protect herself, and that the world deserves to be treated like crap.
* **From Nobody to Nightmare**: Started out as a simple peasant girl; ended up an incredibly powerful sorceress and queen.
* **God Save Us from the Queen!**: Her endgame is to "give this wretched world the queen it deserves" and she does a pretty good job of terrorizing and oppressing people.
* **Immortality Immorality**: She drains the beauty out of girls to maintain her own.
* **Lady of Black Magic**: An elegant and powerful sorceress of dark magic.
* **Large Ham**: Easily one of the hammiest characters.
* **Magic Knight**: Not only is she a powerful sorceress, she also has great skill in physical combat.

## The Van Helsings

### Momo Van Helsing

* **Genki Girl**: The most cheerful of the Van Helsings. This might not all be genuine though, as it's revealed she has experienced a lot of emotional pain, but she has been hiding it under a happy face.
* **Important Hair Accessory**: Her hair ribbon.
* **The Nose Knows**: She can tell if there's a vampire around the proximity with a single whiff.
* **Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl**: The Energetic Girl to Arsenio's Savvy Guy. She's often trying to cheer him up and get him to smile more and have fun.

### Edelmira Van Helsing

* **'20s Bob Haircut**: Even though this story isn't set in the '20's, she has the aesthetic, including the haircut.
* **Animal Motifs**: She's associated with butterflies, mainly related to the themes of death and resuscitation.
* **Bag of Holding**: Her doctor's bag shouldn't be able to hold half of the weaponry she stuffs into there, which include a hatchet blade as long as her arm.
* **Combat Medic**: She may be a doctor, but she's no stranger to violence.
* **Deadly Doctor**: She doesn't kill people with her medical expertise, but she carries around a doctor's bag filled with weapons.

## Relica

### Skye Butterfly

* **Achievements in Ignorance**: Ironically, since Skye has a poor understanding of magic's rules and limitations, she occasionally ends up overcoming those limits without even realizing it. Special mention goes to reaching through the All-Seeing Eye spell without causing it to explode. Even her "normal" spells qualify, as Glossaryck points out that they aren't in the spellbook yet somehow function anyway.
* **Action Girl**: Magic is actually new to her, but she has been kicking monster butt for a long time.
* **Ancestral Weapon**: Her wand has been passed down a very, very long line in her family.
* **Blood Knight**: Even before receiving her magic wand, she enjoyed kicking monster butt. Apparently her parents used the Royal Guards, all of whom are trained warriors in their own rights, as her babysitters. It's no wonder she grew up thinking violence and battle are fun when those guys taught her how to snap the necks of her stuffed animals when she was a toddler.
* **Calling Your Attacks**: She usually says what she wants her magic wand to do or summon out loud. Occasionally a spell backfires (or just fizzles) if she says the wrong thing.
* **Color-Coded Wizardry**: Her magic glows different colors depending on the situation. Normal spells cast using her wand are pink, dark magic spells glow green, and spells she casts by "dipping down" are light blue.
* **Color Motifs**: Yellow. Skye has blonde hair, it's one of her two favorite colors (besides blue), and when she "dips down", her hair glows bright yellow.
* **Combat Pragmatist**: Has absolutely no problems using whatever advantage presents itself, during fights.
* **Crippling Overspecialization**: Skye is very good at combat magic, but she apparently skipped over a lot of basic and practical spells to focus solely on fighting bad guys. This comes back to bite her in the ass hard during her magical evaluation when she spends all day trying and failing to *move an apple a few feet.* To make matters worse, that particular test is designed to be easily passed by casting literally the most basic spell in existence, Levitato.
* **Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass**: Skye may seem a bit like a ditz with hardly any control over her wand, but when it comes to fighting, she's surprisingly competent to the point that she can use the wand without mucking up anything. And she's quite good at fighting *without* the wand, having done so for most of her life before inheriting the wand.
* **Cuddle Bug**: Gives out "Hugs!" to her friends and loved ones on a regular basis.
* **Cute Monster Girl**: Skye Butterfly herself looks like a young girl with heart tattoos on her cheeks. Her true form is monsterous, yet still looked adorable despite being terrifying. Her controlled transformation is considerably less monstrous.
* **The Cutie**: Skye has the mindset, energy, and innocence of a child.
* **Dimensional Traveler**: Originally from Relica, a kingdom in another dimension. She casually travels between different dimensions using magic scissors she has. When she gets control over her true form, it's revealed she can open portals at will.
* **The Ditz**: Downplayed, as she isn't really stupid, just incredibly naïve and childish. At others times though...
* **Dork Knight**: Skye is an excitable teenager who is learning to use her magical wand and is a notable warrior against several enemies of her kingdom.
* **Dumb Blonde**: She's not dumb *per se*, but she is quite scatterbrained in that she has the behavior of a child and tends to interpret figures of speech literally.
* **Easily Impressed**: Due to being a Funny Foreigner from another dimension, she's utterly dazzled by even the must mundane of Earth customs.
* **Eating the Eye Candy**: Skye is left dazed as she stares at the toned torso of a certain man.
* **Empowered Badass Normal**: Was capable of kicking serious butt even *before* getting her wand. Even without it, she's quite the possible fighter and eventually, she uses magic without her wand pretty freely.
* **Everything's Better with Rainbows**: Skye frequently makes rainbows appear from her wand, sometimes helpful, sometimes *catching on fire*.
* **Everything's Better with Sparkles**: Skye enjoys things that sparkle and has at least one spell that includes the words "sparkle" and "glitter" at the same time.
* **Friend to All Children**: Skye has shown a friendly, playful, soft side whenever she is near babies and/or small children.
* **Friend to All Living Things**: Downplayed. Most of Skye's magic includes cute and cuddly creatures, suggesting she has a soft spot for animals.
* **Fun Personified**: Skye is the living embodiment of fun.
* **Genius Ditz**: Toes the line between this and Brilliant, but Lazy. Glossaryck mentions that none of Skye's spells are in his spellbook, so all of her unique spells are things she came up with *on instinct*. At the same time, she knows next to nothing about magic and routinely flops at getting her magic to do what she wants outside of combat.

## Ancient Evils

### Mila / Milena

* **Badass Adorable**: She's one of the cutest and most energetic characters, acting like she does not have a care in the world. But packed in that small and unassuming frame is a girl with a heavy amount of (literal) firepower, capable of devastating both large groups of enemies and entire locations.
* **Creepy Child**: She's an innocent-looking kid, but there's something very unsettling about her and the way she smiles.
* **Girlish Pigtails**: She wears her hair in pigtails, and while it is unclear exactly how old she is supposed to be, they still fit her childlike and innocent nature.
* **Goo-Goo-Godlike**: Though she looks and acts like a five-year-old, she is one of the most powerful Ancient Evils.
* **Idiot Hair**: Mila sports a prominent cowlick on the right side of her haircut, making it one of the first cues that you are in for a real treat with Mila's goofiness and bombing shenanigans.
* **Nice Hat**: The nicest hat in the story, given that it is as big as her *head*. It is part of what makes her identifiable at once.
* **Pointy Ears**: Mila has elf-like ears.
* **Stepford Smiler**: Behind her childish smiles, there's a very twisted and unhinged villain.

### Ira - The Animal

* **Blue-and-Orange Morality**: A given, considering that He's a Lovecraftian entity.
* **Combat Tentacles**: His main ability.
* **Don't Look at Me!**: Whenever he's around strangers, he always hides his face because he's afraid that people will think that he's a monster.
* **Extra Eyes**: Most of His body is a writhing mass of eyes suspended in clouds of gas.
* **Face of a Thug**: He doesn't look like someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley, but any menace in his appearance is promptly subverted by his attack of stage fright.
* **In the Hood**: Wears a big yellow cloak. If he has it off, he has a habit of pulling it down to cover his face completely when he's embarrassed.
* **Nice Guy**: He's kind and very polite to everyone, even his brother.
* **Not So Stoic**: He initially appears to be stoic and aloof, even a bit threatening, but he is actually very shy and awkward.
* **Prone to Tears**: For someone so huge and powerful, he's quite fragile, he cries easily and doesn't take being yelled at very lightly.
* **Shrinking Violet**: His shyness is his most prominent character trait.
* **The Eeyore**: Compared to most of the people he hangs out with, or talks to, Ira is more quiet and serious. In addition, he has a tired and nervous expression on his face almost all the time.

### Agatha / The Blood Moon

* **Alien Blood**: Her inhumanity is more than skin deep as injuries dealt to her yield a reddish-black ooze rather than blood.
* **The Blank**: In her Blood Moon form, she doesn't have a face, merely a hole in the center of her head.
* **The Chessmaster**: Agatha's entire methodology revolves around careful manipulation, using pawns to covertly act and cause destruction and chaos, while leaving her motives and even existence nearly impossible to determine. As a result, humans tend to blame each other for her manipulations, and Agatha herself outright says that she divides and breaks apart humanity to weaken them.
* **Combat Tentacles**: In her Blood Moon form, she has a bunch of tentacles extending from her head, and multiple prehensile tails.
* **Dem Bones**: Her ribs and vertebrae are completely exposed in her Blood Moon form.
* **Fiery Redhead**: Downplayed as it mostly shows in her Determinator actions.
* **Humans Are Flawed**: She concedes that humanity has an amazing ability to find hope in even the darkest times, a trait that makes them great, and when united they are truly a force to be reckoned with... but she also adds that once that hope is crushed and they fall to their petty differences, they are beyond powerless. She's been taking steps to ensure the latter part comes true.
* **Plucky Girl**: Optimistic, brave, and doesn't like being a burden to others.
* **Red Eyes, Take Warning**: Her eyes are black pits with glowing red irises and elliptical pupils. Combined with her bone-white skin, red vein-like markings and black clothing, it makes it ambiguous as to what kind of being she really is.
* **So Beautiful, It's a Curse**: Her red hair gets her a lot of unwanted attention.
* **Super Strength**: Despite her lithe physique, Agatha is far stronger than her delicate frame suggests, easily tossing a table aside. It's even implied that she can move astral bodies like the sun.
* **Tainted Veins**: Black veins are highly visible against the ghost white of Agatha's arms and face.
* **Walking Spoiler**: The mere fact that she exists is a pretty huge spoiler.
* **Workaholic**: She collapses once due to overworking.
* **Yin-Yang Bomb**: Agatha is a being who combines the powers of Creation and Destruction to achieve the threat level she now poses to the entire world. She is as an unkillable force of pure destruction.

### Thorn

* **Action Girl**: She is depicted using her gymnastic skills to fight back with her vines.
* **Body Horror**: She has a flower growing out of her left eye. However, it looks less like a bodily abnormality because it runs up to her head as if she was wearing a unique headband.
* **The Bully**: A smug, sadistic bully who enjoys flaunting her power and superiority over those she feels are inferior or weak, she desires to be feared and hates being made to feel helpless.
* **Can't Take Criticism**: Fitting her ego and narcissism, Thorn utterly *despises* being criticized for anything.
* **Dissonant Serenity**: Everything Thorn says and does is executed with casual grace, whether she's making small talk while disguised as a student or beating the crap out of guards. Even when she's crippled someone and is preparing to kill them, her tone of voice remains calm and slightly smug.
* **Evil Is Petty**: Going hand-in-hand with her egomania. Thorn's driven to uplift herself while bringing everyone else down. If someone she perceives as beneath her gets the better of her, she *will* pay them back in the worst way possible, even if doing so is either pointless or detrimental to the long-term plan.
* **Fatal Flaw**: Her egomania, with a side order of sadism, an insatiable hunger for power, and a severe case of pettiness, have all led to her losing badly several times. Thorn's driven to uplift herself while bringing everyone else down, even if she has to pause to waste time gloating instead of completing the plan without incident. If someone she perceives as beneath her gets the better of her, she *will* pay them back in the worst way possible, even if doing so is either pointless or detrimental to the long-term plan. If she thinks there's a way to fulfill Agatha's mission and get what she wants she'll go for it, no matter how risky it is.
* **Faux Affably Evil**: Thorn is very charismatic and capable of putting on a polite front as a means of getting what she wants. However, it is all a façade to hide her true sinister nature.
* **Her Own Worst Enemy**: While very powerful and dangerous, Thorn has a *very* severe self-destructive streak and is repeatedly defeated by her own selfishness and entitled attitude. When pushed to her Rage-Breaking Point, Agatha throws her litany of failures into her face, summing up all of her character flaws as the reason why she has utterly failed to achieve any of her goals.
* **Lack of Empathy**: She has no compassion for anyone. If she even acknowledges people, they are merely "assets" pushing her plans further or obstacles that need to be crushed.

### The Entity

* **Love at First Sight**: Claims to have this happened to him when he saw Charlotte for the first time.
* **Psychopathic Manchild**:
	+ Seems to see everything he does as a game and demands Charlotte to play with him.
	+ His idea of making three strong subordinates demonic beings in a form of plushies.
* **Reality Warper**: Possesses the same reality-warping abilities as its vessels.
* **Puppy Love**: He is head over heels in love with Charlotte. Which is not a good thing.
* **The Unfettered**: Once the Entity has marked you as prey, *nothing will stop it* from hounding you and your family for the rest of your days until it finally claims you.
* **Yandere**: Has an obsession with Charlotte and watched her from afar for a while. He even made a playhouse for her long before the two of them actually met.

## The Dark Lord and his Followers

### Iblis Rimmon

* **Affectionate Nickname**: Iblis calls everyone a cutesy and shortened version of their surname. It seems he really means well when he does that, and he does truly like his agents and other people. However, when he starts calling people by their full name, you know something's up.
* **Allergic to Love**: Getting kissed on the cheek by Daphné causes Iblis to feel such emotion that he spends ten entire days in bed and feeling like he's dying.
* **Asleep for Days**: Iblis spends ten whole days resting in bed, utterly shell-shocked from being kissed on the cheek by Daphné.
* **Break Them by Talking**: Does this to Cromwell in the form of a "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
	+ **Iblis**: What are you doing, Crommy? I told you everything I was thinking. If you understand, can you hurry up and disappear?
* **A Child Shall Lead Them**: After he was resurrected by Raen, Iblis came back as his child-self, yet he's still not any sort of pushover and is just as strong as he once was.
* **Crazy Jealous Guy**: Iblis considers his agents (and anyone he has grown attached to) his, and his alone, and will go to any length to shoo off anybody interested in them. Violently. He will also protect them with his life.
* **Death Seeker**: What little is left of his original self is so broken that he really wants Kespien to kill him.
* **I Just Want to Be Loved**: His childhood was filled with parental abuse and neglect, and so he never got to experience any type of love or affection. As such, he's uncomfortable with being hugged.
* **Innocent Blue Eyes**: Well, one blue eye. It fits well with his "good" personality.
* **In Touch with His Feminine Side**: Iblis wears thigh highs, for starters, and has a very cutesy and rather effeminate appearance.
* **Likes Older Women**: He finds Gaia attractive.
* **Oblivious to Love**: Played with. He's definitely not all that familiar with romance thanks to his awful upbringing, and he certainly *seems* oblivious to the people who've developed a romantic interest in him, but the story drops a number of hints that he's more clued-in than he lets on, and it's more a matter of his rock-bottom self-esteem preventing him from responding (or causing him to deflect away from the topic) most of the time. Certainly, the massive boost in confidence from his Dark Side turns him into quite the man/ladykiller, and he's a little more sensitive and thoughtful in dealing with serious romantic gestures than you'd expect from someone who's truly Oblivious to Love.
* **Please, Don't Leave Me**: Tearfully says this word for word after he had a nightmare.
* **Red Eyes, Take Warning**: One of his eyes is red, which fits with his "evil" personality.
* **Royals Who Actually Do Something**: He is very "hands on" in ruling his empire, and when it comes to his agents, he will intervene, personally.
* **Stepford Smiler**: The insane variety. His smiles hide a very twisted and psychotic personality. When he was a child, he was the depressed variety.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**: Iblis' dark persona as the ruthless Dark Lord terrifies practically everyone.
* **When He Smiles**: His genuine heart-felt smile is so adorable, *it melts the hearts of even the most emotionless or heartless people!*

### Cecil Dure - Lord Commander of the Kingsguard

* **Aloof Big Brother**: His back story reveals that he has difficulty getting close to his sister Erin, who grew up with their father after their parents separated. Despite her admiration for Cecil and her bubbly disposition, Erin feels the same awkwardness.
* **Ambiguously Gay**: The way he fawns over and worships Iblis makes it rather suspect how exactly he feels about him. While it's possible he simply sees the Dark Lord as being somebody stronger than him, and thus a person worth serving under, the fact that ever since meeting him, almost all he ever talks about or thinks about pertains in some way to Iblis, along with how he has shown zero attraction to any of the female characters, makes it plausible that he might have a Single-Target Sexuality towards Iblis.
* **Berserk Button**: Disrespect towards Iblis, whether actual or perceived.
* **Crush Blush**: Adding to him being Ambiguously Gay, when acting particularly appreciative towards Iblis or Iblis does something that makes him extra happy, Cecil has a habit of his cheeks blushing a rosy red while smiling cheerfully.
* **Fan of Underdog**: He's absolutely convinced that Iblis is the greatest and most powerful Dark Lord ever.
* **Same Surname Means Related**: Averted—he uses his mother's surname, while his younger sister Erin uses that of their father.
* **Theory Tunnel Vision**: Iblis is awesome at everything. Nothing will change his mind on that.
* **Undying Loyalty**: Honestly, there's nothing that this guy wouldn't do for Iblis.

### Charlotte Bell

* **Animal Motifs**: She's constantly seen with a fancy mouse plush, and has mouse-ear-like hair decorations.
* **Animate Dead**: Her own powers.
* **Badass Adorable**: Charlotte is the cutest Necromancer that you want be friends with... forever.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: She's relatively friendly and polite, but if you want to be her friend, you must be dead.
* **Combat Stilettos**: Charlotte wears high-heeled boots.
* **Creepy Child**: She has a fascination with death and has a disturbing lack of empathy.
* **Companion Cube**: Always seen carrying her "doll-toy" around, which is revealed to be her pet rat, Lefu.
* **Dark Is Not Evil**: She doesn't have any malicious intentions and despite her necromancy, she isn't an evil person per se (in fact, she is very friendly and polite to people that she meets).
* **Elegant Gothic Lolita**: Meets the thematic requirements (as a necromancer) but also the stylistic ones as she's actually an appropriate age to be dressing in such doll-like clothes too.
* **Establishing Character Moment**: Charlotte just seems like a normal but quiet teenager. And then she sews a bird back together before giving it a proper burial. Not only does it show her being more unhinged than she looks (she has no issue handling a dead animal and she insists on "fixing" it), but it also eerily foreshadows her past.
* **In-Series Nickname**: Lottie.
* **Lack of Empathy**: She only cares for her family and herself. This isn't necessarily a villainous trait, but rather a sign of her emotional immaturity.
* **Lonely Rich Kid**: Played with. She comes from a wealthy family but spends almost her entire childhood confined to her family's property. However, she doesn't think of herself as lonely.
* **Necromancer**: No shit.
* **Seen It All**: She reacts little to the horrors around her, even when the Entity gets involved.
* **The Stoic**: Her default personality. None of the crazy, morbid things she witnesses make her break her composure.
* **Troubling Unchildlike Behavior**:
	+ She's oddly unbothered by the large number of dead animals hidden in the house, or with setting a giant monster on fire, or with her father's line of work in general. It's revealed that Charlotte is the reason behind the dead animals and that she's slowly becoming more and more like her father when he was a child.
	+ It's also hinted that Charlotte herself killed the collection of rats (possibly accidentally however as Charlotte didn’t seem to be aware that her father gave her a new rat every time), along with the dead animals in her room and that her father really isn't happy with that. Its reveals that her father *tried* for years to teach her that killing animals for fun is wrong, only for him to realize Charlotte was becoming unhinged due to her mother's manipulations.
	+ Her Establishing Character Moment is obsessively sewing two halves of a dead bird back together, and it is later revealed that this is something she did in her past, like when she patched up a dead puppy she wanted to befriend after it's implied she killed it.

### Helia Hart

A foul-mouthed, alcoholic knight with a grim outlook on things.

* **The Alcoholic**: He frequently drinks a lot of cheap booze.
* **Cluster F-Bomb**: He's already a Sir Swears-a-Lot but he's very fond of dropping the F-bomb.
* **The Cynic**: Long story short, this guy has a *seriously* negative view of everyone and everything.
* **Jerk with a Heart of Gold**: He's crass, cynical, and spouts swear words as often as he chugs booze... but he's pretty good with kids.
* **Noodle Incident**: He apparently lost the ability to love some time ago, though he may have been joking.
* **Sir Swears-a-Lot**: He's got one hell of a potty mouth.
* **Straight Gay**: According to his creator, he is pansexual, however, he is not portrayed as the usual stereotype of being pan-which is a Lovable Sex Maniac that usually tries to hit on everyone (or even anything).
* **Tsundere**: How Word of God described Helia's personality.
* **Villainous Friendship**: A certain vampire seems to see him as a friend, though the feeling doesn't appear to be mutual on Helia's part.

### Joan d'Arc

*"Truthfully, I was afraid. Not of dying though, it was the separation that scared me. I had never had such feelings before, but it is not something I mind. For the future of mankind, for your future. To protect such things, I am willing to risk my life as many times as needed."*

* **Badass Preacher**: A Catholic saint who fought for her country and for God.
* **Butterface**: While her body design is regular, if anything a bit lankier than other characters, her face is... off.
* **Child Soldier**: She has been on the battlefield since she was seventeen.
* **Cool Helmet**: A metal crow-like masque.
* **Cute and Psycho**: She presents as a friendly, open woman who is easy on the eyes, but this hides an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight side to her that comes out whenever she is about to do battle.
* **Do Not Call Me "Paul"**: She doesn't like to be called Jeanne.
* **Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette**: She has dark purple hair and sickly pale skin to contribute to her demonic look.
* **Faux Affably Evil**: She talks in a cheerful, joking manner to hide her true, murderous nature.
* **Genki Girl**: A very dark one to boot, always smiling and never gets discouraged regardless of what road bumps appear on her path of ambitions. She simply shrugs it off as a minor obstacle and heads out to try a different way to do so instead.
* **Hellish Pupils**: More noticeable when she gets violent.
* **Jeanne d'Archétype**: Trope Maker, Trope Codifier and Trope Namer.
* **Obviously Evil**: She sports a Red and Black and Evil All Over outfit, black gloves with pentagrams drawn on, looks like a dark knight when she’s out on the battlefield, and sports a Slasher Smile and evil eyes to boot.
* **One of the Boys**: Joan tells Francois that when she was younger the boys of her village considered her this.
* **Peek-a-Bangs**: Her hair usually covers the right side of her face.
* **Red Oni, Blue Oni**: The combative, headstrong red oni to Valerie's calm and collected blue.
* **Scary Teeth**: She has shark-like teeth, making her all the more unsettling.
* **The Stoic**: Jeanne was very calm, serene, and dignified at all times. Well, almost all times.
* **Take a Third Option**: During her trial, she was asked point-blank "Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace?" Answering "Yes" would confirm a charge of heresy, as she would be tacitly claiming to know the mind of God, while saying "No" would allow the prosecutor to proclaim that she must know that she is sinful. Her reply was later used in her canonization as a Saint.
	+ **Joan**: If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not in His grace.
* **Uncanny Valley**: Her design is already slightly different than the rest of the characters, making her seem a little off when she's standing next to them. Her eye movements are shown in detail and are extremely unnatural. Played completely straight later on. While she normally has a Slasher Smile, the way her face contorts pushes way into this trope. It doesn't look right at all.

### Erin Cichy

* **All-Loving Heroine**: Erin does not have it in her to be mad at her fans for never giving her time to herself, and instead does her best to please them, even if it is at her own expense.
* **Big Brother Worship**: Judging from some of her quotes, it is clear she thinks the absolute world of her big brother. However, they find it hard to become close due to the years of growing up separately.
* **The Cutie**: Erin is a lovely young lady, well-liked by the people of The Empire for her sweet, cheerful personality.
* **Magic Librarian**: She's the Dark Lord's librarian and a skilled mage.
* **Nice Girl**: A bright, bubbly girl who strives to help others and bring smiles onto their face in her own ways.

### Eztli Ennui

*"If I treat people kindly, they call me an angel, and if I put them in their place, they call me a witch. Heh... The one thing you'll never hear them call me is 'human.'"*

* **Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon**: Downplayed. She has pretty weird eyes, sure, but otherwise she's not too bad looking. That said, she's an utterly rotten and depraved being.
* **"Not So Different" Remark**: Eztli states Iblis is the same as her, both spurred to move through their respective desires. She breaks this down for him during a scathing "Reason You Suck" Speech.
	+ **Eztli**: I bet you thought you were gonna do some pest control! Or ghost exterminations like in some make-believe story! You came here with half-assed determination, didn't ya?! How naive, you stupid brat! This is war! Not a battle to fix what's wrong! But a clash of truths! You and your fragile justice! You are me, Iblis Rimmon! I kill without a second thought, just like how you save people without a second thought! The instincts of my curse against the so-called dignity obtained by human reason! It's a battle to determine who will be left standing in 100 years!

### Aislinn

* **Children Are Innocent**: Very much so. She casually talks about her parents abuse, but brushes it off and goes on to talk about other things that cheer her up. Also, whenever she encounters something a child her age shouldn't see, she chalks them up to the innocent happenings.
* **Cloud Cuckoo Lander**: Her thought process can be... a little strange.
* **Deal with the Devil**: Unintentionally made one with a demon.
* **Dissonant Serenity**: Mentions the abusive behavior of her parents in her normal conversation.
* **Friend to All Living Things**: She loves animals, and becomes saddened when they die or are killed.
* **Hilariously Abusive Childhood**: Her unfailingly cheerful attitude in the face of her awful life lends much to the story's dark comedy.
* **Motor Mouth**: Once she starts talking, she hardly stops.
* **Stepford Smiler**: It's implied that she may be sadder than she looks, but she hides these feelings behind a smile because that's what her mother told her to do.

### Gilles De Rais

*"My only wish was that the holy maiden Joan d'Arc would be resurrected, and now this wish had already been fulfilled! Without even the need to compete with anyone, my wish had already become reality!"*

* **Love Makes You Evil**: He was once a heroic knight: valiant, handsome, basking in the glory to fight alongside Joan of Arc. He turned against God after she was burned at the stake. And from there it got worse.
* **Morality Chain**: Joan was the only person able to keep him from falling into outright madness.

### The Sea Beasts

A trio of Sea Beasts who use Mind-Control Music to create hatred and conflict between beings, and feed on the negative energy their victims produce in the process.

#### Shared

* **Attention Whore**: Part of their motivation is to make people adore and worship them.
* **Bad Powers, Bad People**: With the ability to use Mind-Control Music, and with them being Emotion Eaters feeding off negativity, is it any surprise they're bad guys?
* **The Dividual**: They all have distinct looks and personalities, but they're never seen apart and function, story-wise, as a single unit.
* **Emotion Eater**: The Sea Beasts grow stronger by feeding on hatred and disharmony (or "negative energy"), which produces a green mist that they absorb. The amount of magic in the world seems to influence this power, however.
* **Humans Are Morons**: They don't have much love for humanity.
* **The Power of Hate**: The Sea Beasts are Emotion Eaters who feed off of hatred, strife, conflict and discord, and so manipulate others into hating and fighting one another.

#### Cala Maria

* **Card-Carrying Villain**: Prides herself in being a dreaded sea beast, her dream job since she was a little girl.
* **Contralto of Danger**: She has a deep Greecian accent and is an unrepentant Sea Monster.
* **Deadpan Snarker**: The most dangerous monster in the sea... and the sassiest.
* **Fame Through Infamy**: In addition to just enjoying being a dreaded sea beast who slaughters everyone that approaches, her Villain Song has Cala Maria basking in the fame she's achieved from her work, referring to herself as a star who everyone knows throughout the seven seas for the horror she's inflicted.
* **Half-Human Hybrid**: She claims her father was a sailor and her mother was a fish, probably a siren.
* **Lonely at the Top**: During her song, she mentions that being the number one sea beast is a "lonely life". In the next line however she says she wouldn't want any other life for herself despite this.
* **Sea Monster**: She is often called one, and she definitely acts like one too.
* **Smug Smiler**: Cala Maria is one, occasionally slipping outright into a Psychotic Smirk when things are really going her way.
* **The Sociopath**: She's very manipulative, charming, and really doesn't care who she hurts.
* **Spell My Name with a "The"**: In her song, she refers to herself as *the* Cala Maria.
* **Swallowed Whole**: Implied. She uses ghosts of dead sailors as a Breath Weapon.
* **Villain Song**: "I Am the Cala Maria" which she sings in the style of a classical opera where she explains her origins and her childhood dream of being the most feared sea monster in the seven seas. It doubles as her "I Am" Song.

#### Leviathan

* **Affably Evil**: Leviathan's the most friendly, energetic, and silliest of the Sea Beasts, but she will just as much get in on brainwashing others and feeding off on their hatred.
* **Beware the Silly Ones**: Being ditzy, comical and affable compared to the others does not make her any less dangerous or more sympathetic in the slightest.
* **Bitch in Sheep's Clothing**: Compared to the others, Leviathan is relatively friendly, but she is still just as evil as the rest of them, willingly going along with their plans.
* **Cloudcuckoolander**: She's often focused on something other than the trio's Evil Plan (like lunch), although she is level-headed and works along with them when the time calls for it, like when they're performing a song.
* **Fake Cutie**: Leviathan is friendly, ditzy, energetic, and silly... which makes it all the more noticeable when she starts flashing her numerous evil grins and smirks.
* **Perky Female Minion**: She often lightens the mood with her ditziness.
* **Soft-Spoken Sadist**: Leviathan does not sound like a villain, especially when compared to the other Sea Beasts. Her voice remains cheerful and friendly no matter what evil thing she is doing.
* **Womanchild**: Unlike her cohorts, Leviathan seems to have the mindset of a child and often acts immature.

### Jester

* **Child Prodigy**: He was a very gifted performer as a child.
* **Monster Clown**: Jester is a demonic circus jester.
* **Used to Be a Sweet Kid**: The child Jester has none of his present self's meanness or crassness.

## The Divine Dragon and Her Associates

### Mizar

* **Anime Hair**: Her hair is normally split in the middle with one half red and the other half blue, while some blue/red strands are present on each. Her fringe also has two strands of hair that crosses over each other like an "x" mark.
* **Color Motif**: Mizar is strongly associated with red and blue, with her two-tone hair, heterochromia, and parts of her outfit.
* **Don't Call Me "Sir"**: Mizar is really uncomfortable at all the bowing and scraping deference shown to her.
* **Dragons Are Divine**: Mizar is a Divine Dragon that comes from a royal family of dragons; said to be worshipped as deities for generations.
* **Gold and White Are Divine**: Aside from red and blue, her outfit is primarily white and gold. Fittingly as she is considered a Divine Dragon.

* **Messy Hair**: Mizar only gets bedhead on the blue side of her hair.
* **Modesty Shorts**: Mizar is wearing black mini shorts underneath her skirt.
* **Nice Girl**: It's immediately apparent that Mizar is compassionate to almost everyone they meet.
* **Only Sane Man**: Mizar often finds herself uncomfortable and flummoxed by the religion around her, and often tries to steer the conversation back to normal topics.
* **Stop Worshipping Me**: Played for Laughs, where in she reacts with exasperation over how devoted some characters are to her just because she's the Divine Dragon.
* **Universally Beloved Leader**: As the Divine One, Mizar holds a lot of power and authority. She is also loved by her people.

## The Empyreans

### Crossbreed Priscilla
