** Louie is a [[spoiler:bastard prince]] that has cared for by the a trusted mage.

When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. When the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, she is most upset.

* HeroicSacrifice: At the end of episode 12, [[FriendOnTheForce Farbe]] finally tells Jeanie why [[spoiler: Hector]] sacrificed himself, back when they were in the king's army. It was because he'd [[spoiler: secretly been in love with her and couldn't bare the thought of her dying, so he chose to do it in her stead]]. While she doesn't share the sentiment, she appreciated the gesture all the same.

* RolePlayingGameVerse: A slightly tweaked ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' universe, inherited from RecordOfLodossWar.

** Genie doesn't even bother with a BreastPlate, apparently being so {{Badass}} that she doesn't need armor, or even much clothing.

** The 5th chapter of the manga introduces Ila. Suffice to say, Genie and co. aren't thrilled when they lay eyes on her and see [[NerdsAreSexy what a bombshell she is]], especially while she was on Louie's arm. There's even a healthy dose of MaleGaze in [[http://www.otakusmash.com/read-manga/Rune_Soldier_Louie/001.005/81/ the lower-right three panels]] to emphasize it. ]][[http://www.otakusmash.com/read-manga/Rune_Soldier_Louie/001.005/82/ Obvious jealousy]], [[http://www.otakusmash.com/read-manga/Rune_Soldier_Louie/001.005/85/ was obvious.]]

* [[RedheadedHero Redheaded Heroine]]: Jeanie, who keeps her hair fashioned in a thick braid.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Genie and her fear of Giant Slugs in episode 11.

When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. And when the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, well, let's just say she's less than happy.

* LeftHanging: Although there are sufficient clues for the observant viewer to deduce [[WMG/RuneSoldierLouie who Louie's parents probably are and why he was fostered]] by the head of the mage guild, no one in the cast has access to them all -- or any interest in the question, for that matter -- so there is no chance to find out for sure.

* RolePlayingGameVerse: A slightly tweaked DungeonsAndDragons universe, inherited from RecordOfLodossWar.

* WideEyedIdealist: Being a Mylee priestess, Melissa dreamed of one day serving a valiant champion, who'd accomplish great and noble deeds for the people. The manga makes this even more apparent, by having her go [[http://www.kivmanga.com/Rune_Soldier_Louie_-_Req_by_Valdimir/001.005/40/ dreamy eyed]], whenever she thinks about it. While, [[http://www.kivmanga.com/Rune_Soldier_Louie_-_Req_by_Valdimir/001.005/44/ in this scene]], she's even surrounded by sparkles.

-->'''Ila:''' "What's this...?"

** After the Headmistress, Jenny, jokes that Melissa's duty may require her to let Louie [[http://www.kivmanga.com/Rune_Soldier_Louie_-_Req_by_Valdimir/001.005/43/ have his way with her]], [[ImagineSpot she imagines him as an ogre tearing her clothes off.]]

* PunnyName: Their kingdom's name is "Ohfun". Get it?

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: It ''would be'' the priestess. Poor Melissa:
** While they're out sailing in episode 15, when Louie casts his fishing line, the hook snags the top of Melissa's bikini. Then pulls her across the deck, tearing off her top in the process. She ends up flush against Louie's back and has a screaming fit when looks at her, followed by hitting him with a barrage of punches and demanding her top back.
** And when she volunterrs to cover for Merrill, while she was out sick, she finds one of Merrill's jobs is dancing in a burlesque show. So Melissa ends up having to wear [[{{stripperific}} a skimpy showgirl costume.]]
