** Downplayed with Alf. [[spoiler: She could never love him because she'd already been in love with L'arc, but Alf's never leaving her side after what she'd done warmed her heart enough to swear her loyalty and life to him, as proven by her transferring her hozone to Alf in order to save him when Ignacy extracts his Eesa factor.]]

* OvershadowedByAwesome: L'Arc worries about this being the case, feeling that he can't live up to the achievements of his late, famous father. Rastan reassures him that not only were the Lord Knights not always as impressive as stories make them out to be, but that L'Arc and Rex are not the same people and L'Arc shouldn't feel obliged to follow a similar path.

* RedOniBlueOni: He's the red oni to Alf's blue. Eventually, the roles seem to get reversed, with L'Arc being the one to think things through more near the end of the game. This can be seen from the blue traits that L'Arc starts off with versus the red traits that Alf has: while L'Arc is louder and more ill-tempered in general, he tends to be more professional and emotionally detached when it really counts. As it happens, it starts to count more and more often as the game goes on.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: When L'Arc asks if he was that much like his father to a friend of the man's, he told that he's a lot ''not'' like him for the most part, as Rex was refined, intellectual and had good taste (but they do have the same meddlesome quality!).

* HeadbuttingHeroes: With Serge, initially. Rastan outright admit that Serge isn't the kind of person he sees himself getting along with, and though they get better, there's still a degree of exasperation in his battle quotes regarding him.

* ChastityCouple: He and Ryfia never do anything more than hug, unless you count the non-romantic forehead kiss Ryfia did when it was revealed that he was the Child of Eesa. Leslie even pokes fun at it in a skit, commenting that Ryfia might not need the talk for a while considering who her potential partner is...

* TheComicallySerious: Being a rather straight-laced {{Tsundere}}, he tends to make for a good recipient for teasing from other members of the party.



* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:In one skit, where Cecille asks what it means to be a hero and Rastan lists self-sacrifice, L'Arc and Niko express disapproval over the notion. Guess which characters end up pulling off a HeroicSacrifice?]]



* LikeBrotherAndSister: This is how he explicitly sees his and Adele's relationship. [[SubvertedTrope Too bad the feeling isn't mutual]].
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: When L'Arc asks if he was that much like his father to a friend of the man's, he told that he's a lot ''not'' like him for the most part, as Rex was refined, intellectual and had good taste (but they do have the same meddlesome quality!).



* LivingLegend: Of the negative variety. L'Arc becomes a symbol of the Empire's warmonger nature, despite the fact that L'Arc himself is against that attitude.



* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Ultimately subverted. Though he's done a few questionable things in the Empire's name, such as infiltrating Antrax, he ends up fighting against it without any real difficulties when it goes too far. That said, he's still shown to be uneasy when the Republic members of the party actively speak badly about his home country, even as they point out that to them, the Empire is the enemy.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He has a brief moment when he and Ryfia have a falling out, leading to Ryfia running off and heading out to the dangerous road on her own. While not the sole one to blame, L'Arc chases after her, worried for her safety and berating himself for losing his temper the way he did.



* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The Roguish Male to Alf's Noble Male. L'Arc is an "oaf" of a mercenary who wields a {{BFS}}; Alf is a gentle-mannered prince who wields a RoyalRapier.



* OvershadowedByAwesome: L'Arc worries about this being the case, feeling that he can't live up to the achievements of his late, famous father. Rastan reassures him that not only were the Lord Knights not always as impressive as stories make them out to be, but that L'Arc and Rex are not the same people and L'Arc shouldn't feel obliged to follow a similar path.



* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Alf's Sensitive Guy.

to:

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man RousingSpeech: He gives one to Alf's Sensitive Guy.Ryfia to bring her out of her AngstComa.
-->'''L'Arc:''' "[[spoiler:If Imaginal's Law and Real's Law destroy the Common Race, then I'll make a new Law! I don't need Eesa!]] I'll put the future of the people back in the hands of the people. [...] We can make this world beautiful. We can do that! Shouldn't that be our responsibility?"



* ThatCameOutWrong: In an official short story, he ponders what he'll be doing once everything is over, and as this takes place while he's TheExile, he concludes out loud that he'll probably be living in the Republic. [[ShipperOnDeck Cecille]] immediately interprets this as him wanting to live with Ryfia.



* BettyAndVeronica: She's Veronica.

to:

* BettyAndVeronica: She's Veronica. Veronica, being a newcomer from the enemy country next to Adele's status as L'Arc's ChildhoodFriend.
* BrutalHonesty: Being InnocentlyInsensitive means that she tends to speak her mind without being aware that it might offend some.



* ChronicHeroSyndrome: She doesn't believe in abandoning anyone in need. Her first reaction, along with Alf's, upon seeing Luze and Saura in trouble is basically, "Quick, we have to help them!"



* KindHeartedCatLover: One skit has L'Arc conclude (and Ryfia agree) that she likes cats, as she considers the idea of being surrounded by "cute little kitties" (in Niko's words) to be CutenessOverload.



* HiddenDepths: Subverted. He and L'Arc talk about the Empire's invasion of the Republic, with Niko admitting that he hadn't grasped that being a soldier meant doing that kind of thing as he joined the army to protect Jada and the Royal City, thus surprising L'Arc... before Niko adds that there were other benefits "like money, supplies, good food, coupons, honor" at which point L'Arc realizes that nope, same old Niko.
* IOweYouMyLife: PlayedForLaughs--see BecauseYouWereNiceToMe above. L'Arc hadn't even distracted the Feldragon for Niko's sake, but to get it away from the town so that it wouldn't release Hozone there when it died, but Niko [[UnreliableNarrator has his own way of interpreting things]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He's got a case of foot-in-mouth syndrome, leading others to scold him. One notable case where Niko himself catches onto it is with Maria: Niko was a bit rough with her at first as he tends to be, but privately admits later to Ryfia in a skit that he feels bad in hindsight, now knowing about her circumstances.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:As with L'Arc, despite Niko scoffing at the idea of self-sacrifice, he ultimately gives up his own life to protect something else.]]



* SatelliteCharacter: Downplayed. He still has plenty of personality and interactions with others on his own, but up until he leaves the party, his motivations revolve mostly around following L'Arc around with him having no real stake in things otherwise.



* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Cecille argue constantly, and it only makes them closer, if anything.



* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:While Cecille avoided the trauma that Dynos faced, it's implied that she was still neglected or dealt with some kind of emotional abuse, as one has to wonder what the situation was like that Cecille considered herself useless to the family and, after Dynos's death, suspects that her father saw her as no good.]]



* TheGadfly: She loves to take advantage of Ryfia's cluelessness to fluster [[TheComicallySerious L'Arc]].



* HypocriticalHumor: She rags on Niko for being intimidated by Grantz instead of just being glad that he can solve their Lightship problem... before L'Arc pipes up with, "If I recall correctly... Weren't both of you hiding behind Rastan because you were scared?"



* VitriolicBestBuds: She and Niko bicker every opportunity they get, but at the end of the day, they evidently still care for one another.



* CommonalityConnection: Jokingly, he and Leslie bond over being the only adults in a party full of [[KidHero Kid Heroes]] ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[{{Manchild}} Niko]]).



* FeelingTheirAge: PlayedForLaughs should you upgrade the Lightship and obtain the Summon feature, at which point Leslie comments that the older members must be happy and Serge agrees, claiming that it's been hard going up and down the stairs lately. Note that Serge is only thirty-three (and that the older Rastan does not agree, apparently).



* TheGadfly: He tends to be Cecille's partner in crime when it comes to teasing L'Arc over his relationship with Ryfia.



* ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler:Implied in his last message to L'Arc, where he concludes their time together with telling L'Arc that he was the greatest friend Serge ever had.]]



* MasterSwordsman: [[spoiler:What he used to be, before Ignacy damaged his arm. Though it still functions, he notes that his "lightning" reflexes of the past are gone.]]



* ShipTease: He offers to escort personally Leslie back home once everything is over [[spoiler:regarding her worries about doing so]], even prompting her to ask if he's flirting with her. Her attitude suggests that it's not unwelcome.




to:

* WhatTheHellHero: The others' reaction to him suggesting they fight dirty [[spoiler:and take advantage of Adele's weakened state to attack Alf and steal the Rogress, even if it means essentially punishing them for doing good]], though [[JerkassHasAPoint Rastan backs him up]].



* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Out of the main party, he and Leslie tend to interact the least, which she lampshades in a skit where he asks her a personal question and she's caught off-guard for this reason.



* HeadbuttingHeroes: With Serge, initially.

to:

* HeadbuttingHeroes: With Serge, initially. Rastan outright admit that Serge isn't the kind of person he sees himself getting along with, and though they get better, there's still a degree of exasperation in his battle quotes regarding him.



* ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler:His last words to L'Arc in his message recording are that he'll always be proud of the time he spent with him.]]



* MasterSwordsman: He's introduced as a {{Badass}} at the sword (and indeed lives up as party member). [[spoiler:It's also heavily implied that Cecille has him become a teacher at Zamuel's swordsmanship school.]]



* ThePhilosopher: Being the oldest member of the party, he sometimes likes to make meaningful comments on aspects of life, which Cecille refers to as his "fancy talk".



* SugarAndIcePersonality: He can be gruff and aloof, but he's a caring person underneath, which especially tends to come up around L'Arc and Cecille.




to:

* WhatTheHellHero: See Serge's section. The others express this towards Rastan as well for supporting Serge, with L'Arc even commenting that that's just the kind of idea he'd expect from someone who betrayed his friend, though it's worth noting that L'Arc later apologizes and takes it back, feeling that he went too far.



* BloodKnight: To a degree, she seems to enjoy her fighting, and when giving Cecille and Ryfia love advice, she uses nothing but combat metaphors, leaving Ryfia to wonder if she's actually advising them on how to become great warriors.



* CommonalityConnection: The first time they meet, she and Serge jokingly bond over being the sole KidHero aversions (... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg plus]] [[{{Manchild}} Niko]]).



* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: She and Rastan don't speak to each other much, which she lampshades in a skit where she's surprised that Rastan's talking to her personally, rather than another member of the party.



* InternalReformist: [[spoiler:She intends to uncover the corruption within the Republic, especially using her connection to Shelly, who's of a like mind. Before L'Arc makes his HeroicSacrifice, she tells him that she'll keep on working to change the Republic for the better... with [[HeterosexualLifePartner Shelly]], of course.]]



* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: Serge jokes about this, suggesting that he doesn't consider Leslie a viable option because of her aggressive attitude. It's clearly meant in jest, though, and considering their amount of ShipTease...



* NothingPersonal: As she tells Ryfia, [[spoiler:her being with Alf has nothing to do with religious matters, which are what Ryfia cares about most, but as a member of the Republic, she hates the Empire and so will gladly side with someone who's fighting against it]].



* VigilanteMan: [[spoiler:She's investigating the Republic's corruption as a civilian rather than as a soldier now, and is willing to go as far as to join Alf and co. for those ends.]] She admits to Ryfia that while she doesn't agree with [[WellIntentionedExtremist Weiss's]] means, she sometimes wonders whether she should be more like him or to be more like L'Arc and Ryfia, who are more easygoing in their methods.



* ChronicHeroSyndrome: At first, he's all about helping those in need. As with most of his kinder traits, this gets killed over time.



* ExtremeDoormat: [[spoiler:For Adele, after her FaceHeelTurn where he obviously doesn't agree with her on certain things but won't call her out on them. Eventually, it works in twisting him as much as she's become twisted herself, even reaching the point where ''she's'' appalled by his ruthlessness.]]



* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The Noble Male to L'Arc's Roguish Male. L'Arc is an "oaf" of a mercenary who wields a {{BFS}}; Alf is a gentle-mannered prince who wields a RoyalRapier.



* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to L'Arc's Manly Man.



* SatelliteCharacter: To Alf.



* WeaponAcrossTheShoulder: See the above picture.



* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:His dad tried to get him to be an assassin despite his pacifistic nature and then tried to kill him, so... yeah, he probably qualifies.]]

to:

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"Cecille... I just... wanted Dad... to love me..."]]



* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"Don't let me down, my brother..."]]



* HandsOffParenting: L'Arc looks after her more, if anything, though it's justified in that Elena is sickly and incapable of actively raising her son. Nevertheless, L'Arc turned out to be responsible, and as he's been working as a legionnaire for a while, she doesn't worry too much when he's off doing his own thing.



* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's got some odd quirks that make for a deadly combination with her forceful personality. Leslie is well aware, and L'Arc and co. will learn the hard way if you [[GuideDangIt view the skits at her house]].

* TheStoic: It's telling that he's one of the few characters whose default portrait doesn't have him smiling, and temper aside, he tends to be remain professional, such as after the events at Antrax: Niko and Ryfia are obviously affected, while L'Arc simply states that because he's completed his mission, he has to report to Weiss.

* LightIsGood: No surprise that the character most affiliated with light-based Excel Acts is the [[AllLovingHero pure-hearted]] Ryfia.



* TheFettered: More than anyone, she clings to the idea of being heroic and idealistic (causing her to clash with [[PragmaticHero Serge]] in Opalus). When she falls into a HeroicBSOD, it's L'Arc reminding her of what she fights for that brings her spirits back up.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler:His time as the LivingLegend Leon would probably make for an interesting story in itself, considering that it's at least grand enough that Serge mentions how he'll probably be buried in the annals of history.]]



* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Like Serge above]].

to:

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Even as a tyrant, he still honoured Weiss's contract with Elena and continued sending her money, and he also apparently visited her. Kind of awkward, seeing as how he was trying to have her son killed, but still a sign that he hadn't completely lost his humanity.]]



* SiblingYinYang: With Weiss.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Slightly. Despite L'Arc being hardworking and competent, he receives some scorn from people who don't think well of mercenaries, and if one goes around talking to the soldier [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] in the beginning of the game, it's clear that some don't like him because of his friendship with Alf as well.



* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He becomes somewhat of one for Ryfia, seeing as how she admits that after all the strife, what makes her happy is the fact that she met him, to the point where [[spoiler:she chooses to leave behind all of her other friends to reunite with him in the future]].



* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, [[spoiler:his role in the destruction of Antrax]]. While awful, he wasn't even the one who invaded, and as Ryfia points out, he wasn't even the only one involved! But he's the only one who's remembered for it, to the point of his name becoming notorious around the world, and it takes a ''long'' time before people start forgiving him for it (namely, Shelly: the moment she's warmed up to him can be marked by her no longer calling him Lagoon the Cursed).



* TraumaCongaLine: While L'Arc handles it remarkably well and so it's easy to overlook, consider the events of the game: [[spoiler:someone he respected uses him as his UnwittingPawn, his ChildhoodFriends betray him and attempt to kill him on numerous occasions, he discovers that he has a half-brother only for the man to die ''that same day'', one of the aforementioned ChildhoodFriends dies as well as another good friend of his, and within the next few days (if not on the same day), he's told that he has to pull off a HeroicSacrifice and leave behind everyone and everything he's known]]. Ouch.



* {{Adorkable}}: She's incredibly clueless about how the outside world works, all the while remaining earnest about learning and good-natured in her intentions.



* ChildOfTwoWorlds: [[spoiler:She was born as a child of the Divine Race, unbeknownst to her, but raised among the Common Race. This gives her some conflict later on, as she remembers her father's HeroicSacrifice, and despite realizing that the Divine Race is in the wrong, she can't bring herself to forsake them as it would render her father's actions meaningless.]]



* InnocentlyInsensitive: She has a few minor moments, such as unintentionally treating Niko like a little kid.

to:

* InnocentlyInsensitive: She has a few minor moments, such as unintentionally treating Niko like a little kid. She also fails to pick up on how her attitude about L'Arc is driving Adele insane with jealousy, [[spoiler:which ends up escalating ''horribly'']].



* RedMage: Her Excel Acts are split about half and half between offensive and healing/support. In particular, her first is a healing one, but her second is offensive and, being the only light-elemental attack you'll get for a while, potentially incredibly useful.



* WorthLivingFor: At one point, she admits that before leaving the building in which she grew up, she'd been under the impression that the world was a cold and cruel place and thus, despite being raised as a Diva, she couldn't understand why everyone was so desperate to prevent its destruction. It was only after leaving and seeing the world for herself that she realized how warm and amazing it really was, and that's why she'll do everything she can to protect it.



* PaperThinDisguise: With his alternate pilgrim outfit, ''his military uniform is still visible''.



* {{Tsundere}}: A minor one towards L'Arc at times, considering that her opinion of him over the game has at random ranged from "likable only when he keeps his mouth shut" to "a million times better than Serge" to "a great guy even if he's moody", depending on her own mood at any given moment.



* LivingLegend: [[spoiler:As "Leon, the phenomenal swordsman they call 'Godspeed' ", to quote Cecille. Notably, though, most people don't actually know what Leon looks like or even how old he is, making it easy for Serge to slip past the radar without even a disguise.]]



* TraumaCongaLine: His backstory, courtesy of a very bitter history [[spoiler:with Ignacy, to the point where Serge chose to [[FakingTheDead let the man think he's dead]] as it meant Ignacy didn't bother to try and ruin his life further]].



* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Inverted. [[spoiler:As L'Arc tells him, though he may never be able to forgive Rastan for his part in the murder of his father, he ''is'' willing to trust him, as Rastan has proved himself to be utterly repentant and a trustworthy ally. Regardless, by the end of the game, L'Arc admits that he's forgiven him and has since long ago, without even really realizing it.]]



* GoAndSinNoMore: [[spoiler:In the words of L'Arc, contrasting Rastan's belief that DeathEqualsRedemption: "I'm letting you live. You need to live so you can face up to what you did."]]



* MistakenIdentity: [[spoiler:Yeah, he's not Leon.]]



* NoHeroToHisValet: [[spoiler:Having been an associate of the Lord Knights, he got to see the non-romanticized side of them, such as them doing menial tasks while rescuing a cat or how Rex and Zamuel had to look after the so-called legendary (KidHero) Leon.]]

* {{Stripperiffic}}: With an outfit ''that'' skimpy, she might as well just not bother with clothes.

-->'''L'Arc:''' ...
