History Characters / ArknightsDublinn

* VisionaryVillain: "What the Firelight Casts" reveals more about Leader's motives. [[spoiler:Her designs for the Victorian throne is not for power, but to save the Tarans living on Victorian soil and preserve their history, which is slowly being phased away as more Tarans adopt Victorian culture. Her methods, however, involve heavy sacrifices and using her {{Necromancy}} powers to plunge Victoria into a civil war.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: At the end of Chapter 9, Leader decides to respect Loughshinny's wishes and [[spoiler:allows her to leave Dublinn for Rhodes Island]].

* CategoryTraitor: While Dublinn seeks to put a Draco back on the Victorian throne, the majority of its members are Felines.

* CursedWithAwesome: She complains that casters with Oripathy get an unfair advantage over casters using their natural born Arts, since a side effect of Oripathy is boosting an Infected caster's Arts abilities. Manfred immediately disabuses her of that nation, stating that [[BlessedWithSuck there's nothing fun about being inflicted with Oripathy]].

* FinalBoss: Of the "What the Firelight Casts" event.

!!Harmonie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avg_avg_npc_228_1_1.png]]
->'''Artist:''' STAR影法师
A Dublinn advisor.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: She's the one who convinced Mandragora to [[spoiler:spare Horn's life]], since she believed that [[spoiler:Horn could be used as a valuable hostage to convince neutral noble families to support Dublinn]].
* HiddenAgendaVillain: It's not immediately clear what Harmonie's motives for working with Dublinn are. Even Leader and her fellow Dublinn allies express doubts about her loyalty. It should also be noticed that she wears an Infection monitor, a prominent equipment used exclusively by Rhodes Island affiliates, implying a HeelFaceTurn (despite her goals seemingly conflicting with that of Rhodes Island) or simply an error on her artist's part.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Chapter 11 reveals that [[spoiler:Harmonie was in the same year group as Bagpipe and Chen during their days in the Victoria Royal Guard Academy]].
* PragmaticVillainy: In contrast to Mandragora, Harmonie is notably calculated in her actions, doing only what is strictly necessary for Dublinn and is visibly frustrated by Mandragora's reckless ambition. She even ordered her lackeys not to lay their hands on civilians to maintain the conflict of Tarans, which in turn will continue to destabilize Victoria's already precarious position.
* TheStrategist: Acts as this for Dublinn and uses her intellect to manipulate Mandragora for her own ends.

* PlayingWithFire: Just like her sister, Leader has fire based Arts, but her flames are purple instead of [[FireIsRed red]].

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: After Manfred manages to kill every one of her men under her and her friend, Mandragora decides that she would rather go down fighting against him rather than flee when he gives her a chance. Even after he effortlessly destroys all her stone creations while mocking her, she still wouldn't give up. This goes on until her staff breaks and her body reaches its limits. Yet even then, she just took out a simple knife and attempts to stab him...which only slightly annoys him. It's only this where she collapses from her injuries and is left for dead by Manfred who couldn't be bothered to kill her.]]

* AMotherToHerMen: Believe it or not, Mandragora treats those under her command pretty well. She doesn't let them sacrifice themselves for nothing and is quick to step up to protect them herself if need be. She would even put herself in the line of fire if she has to in order to protect them. Some of them even have a sense of UndyingLoyalty to her because of this.
** [[spoiler: Later on, she even passes up an opportunity to settle the score with Horn despite meeting her face to face in the midst of a crisis. Choosing to back down and save her injured friend instead.]]

* UncertainDoom: During Episode 10, [[spoiler:she is beaten down and left for dead by Manfred. While Misery does come across her, it's unclear if she actually survived the ordeal.]]
** [[spoiler: Made clear by chapter 11, where she survived the ordeal and now gives Rhodes information regarding Dublinn.]]

* AMotherToHerMen: Believe it or not, Mandragora treats those under her command pretty well. She doesn't let them sacrifice themselves for nothing and is quick to step up to protect them if need be, even if it puts her in the line of fire. Some of them even have a sense of UndyingLoyalty to her.

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:In [=10-10=], she can only quietly and tearfully lament to herself after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of Manfred, along with the crushing revelation from the Sarkaz general that "Leader" was using her as a disposable pawn, which resulted in her being deposed and exiled from Dublinn. Misery, an R.I. Elite Operator, took pity on Mandragora upon arriving at the scene after Manfred has left and retrieves her shortly afterwards.]]

* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Chapter 11 reveals that [[spoiler:Harmonie was in the same year group as Bagpipe and Chen during their days in the Victoria Military Academy]].

* FantasticRacism: Dublinn members are highly intolerant of Infected, and many consider catching Oripathy AFateWorseThanDeath, with one particular soldier desperately begging Bagpipe to kill them after realizing they've become Infected.

* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Her real name Eblanna is a reference to Eblana, the supposed original name for the city of Dublin in ancient Roman times as described by Ptolemy, however due to the uncertainty of it's historic location, it's been thought that the town of Eblana might have rather been the town of Loughshinny due to it's proximity to an important trading port; further invoking the connection she has with her sister, her position as leader of the organization (and it's [[AuthorityInNameOnly puppet installed by Theresis), and {{Foreshadowing}} the eventual conflict between the sisters ideals]].
