* {{Tsundere}}: A RareMaleExample. He 'constantly' criticizes [=SilverAsh=], but also [[spoiler:worries about his potential death during 'Break the Ice', expressing it in a very backhanded way by saying he only wishes he has a chance to save him,]] and generally speaks as though he cares far less for [=SilverAsh=] than he actually does deep down.

* FreudianExcuse: He was ostracized by the entirety of Kjerag for a crime that was allegedly committed by his parents, to the point where his family saw no choice but to leave their home for Victoria instead, leaving his closest friend behind. Decades later when he returns to Kjerag he is still regarded as a villain and HatedByAll with people openly questioning why his closest friend associates with him. It's less a wonder he went from a well-adjusted child to a Jerkass - more that ended with any emotional connections at all

* Tsundere: A RareMaleExample. He *constantly* criticizes [=SilverAsh=], but also [[spoiler:worries about his potential death during 'Break the Ice', expressing it in a very backhanded way by saying he only wishes he has a chance to save him,]] and generally behaves as though he cares far less for [=SilverAsh=] than he actually does deep down.

* DitzyGenius: Magallan is very competent and respected explorer and researcher, but she's also rather flighty and [[CuriousAsAMonkey acts before she thinks when she finds something interesting]]. Typhon adopts the nickname "birdbrain" for her because of this and throughout "The Black Forest Wills A Dream" finds herself [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder essentially babysitting her]] throughout the entire story and trying to (not always successfully) prevent her from getting herself into too much trouble.

* ImageSong: "[[https://youtu.be/Q9niH21_mac Autumn Moods]]".

* FrameUp: The "Break the Ice" event reveals that [[spoiler:the Edelweiss family were framed as the culprit that led to the death of [=SilverAsh=]'s parents by the Browntail family, who took the opportunity of the accident that killed the couple to gain power]].

* OneDegreeOfSeparation: His voice line reveals that he has met [[Characters/ArknightsMedicsNToZ Shining]] in the past, it's implied that he met her [[spoiler:during a time when Shining is still part of the Confessarius]].

* {{Undying Loyalty}}: Towards [=SilverAsh=]. His 200 Trust operator file states [[spoiler:that aside from his research, "the one and only thing" he cares about and will "devote his heart and soul" towards is Karlan Trade's affairs and [[=SilverAsh's=]] concerns for Kjerag's future.]] This likely stems from the fact that [[spoiler:Enciodes never believed or blamed Gnosis for the deaths of his parents like the rest of Kjerag did, going as far to defy majority opinion and name Gnosis CTO of Karlan Trade despite knowing that Gnosis was an unpopular figure. He still refers to Gnosis as his "dearest friend", and Gnosis repays the sentiment with his loyalty.]]
* {{Unishment}}: At the end of "Break the Ice", [[spoiler:Enciodes assigns Gnosis to serve as his representative to Rhodes Island. To the average citizen of Kjerag, this looks like exile as a punishment for Gnosis's treachery. What Enciodes is ''actually'' doing is rewarding his oldest and most trusted friend by giving him a chance to pursue his research, largely free of distractions or interruptions, in one of the most technologically-advanced facilities in Terra]].
* {{Used To Be A Sweet Kid}}: Implied during the flashback to his teenage years, where [=SilverAsh=] comments that he never used to sneer at people or belittle them.
* {{Vitriolic Best Buds}}:
** Has shades of this with [=SilverAsh=]. Gnosis constantly rags on him for being indecisive, arrogant, perfectionist, and (not for the first time) enjoying the thrill of potentially losing (to which [=SilverAsh=] tells him they'll have plenty of time to argue about that later), but none of that changes the fact that Gnosis happily and willingly [[spoiler:pretended to be a traitor and didn't care about being publicly humiliated in order to advance their plans of modernizing Kjerag.]] [=SilverAsh=] likewise shoots back at him that the look on Gnosis's face at the prospect of exploring Rhodes Island's technology is about as gleeful as what Gnosis always accuses him of.

* TeamNormal: In ''Expeditioner's Joklumarkar'', out of the team sent to recover Director Maryam in the Infy Icefields, Santalla is an experienced shaman powerful enough to be considered a Snowpriestess candidate, Valarqvin is an ancient Sarkaz mage with esoteric Arts and powers of foresight, and Typhon is a veteran huntress trained by Valarqvin specifically to hunt and suppress [[EldritchAbomination Collapsals]]. Meanwhile, Magallan is just a plucky young woman with a lot of technical and survival know-how, and although her curiosity has gotten them into trouble quite a few times, her spirit and intellect make her just as invaluable.

* {{Jerkass}}: While he's not a bad guy, Gnosis is not a pleasant person, being rather cold, blunt, unfeeling, and a little unethical at times when it comes to his research.
* MadScientist: He has elements of one, as he's primarily concerned with pursuing his research rather than his moral stances, and even chides the Doctor that Rhodes Island can achieve far more technological progress if the company stops caring about ethics.

** Also with Degenbrecher. In the prequel manhua "Sharp Swordbreaker, Silver Edge," Gnosis is snarky and sharp to her as is his usual, something which she responded to in kind usually with an amused smirk, up to threatening that Enciodes doesn't actually need her, but still [[spoiler:allows Degenbrecher to half-carry him home as he (and Enciodes) is too inebriated to walk unaided and asks her for hangover pills. She teases him for needing them at all for the light wines at the banquet, but still continues to carry him after he gives her a reluctant thank-you and passes out.]]

->''"I've been wanting to meet all you Rhodes Islanders since a good long time ago. Very glad to make your acquaintance again, Doctor. Just call me Heidi."''

A Victorian novelist and daughter to the famous poet Sir Thomson. She first met Dr. Kal'tsit while working as a messenger over a decade ago, delivering a pair of letters to her in private at a dinner party.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: She's not exactly a ''child'' in her first appearance during ''A Walk in the Dust'', but she's noted to still be below the legal drinking age in Victoria. She also hates being treated like a child and constantly tries to act older and more responsible than she is, which the nobles only find endearing.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Count Vincent suspects that one of her motives for sneaking into his party was to look for boys, and her response when Vincent tells her about his guest is to ask if they're a "refined, mannerly Sankta gentleman" on the older side. At the same time, she's also ''very'' taken by Kal'tsit when they meet, being reduced to a stammering mess and having some moments that make her having a PrecociousCrush almost obvious.
* AnimalMotifs: Persian cats. One can be seen in her E2 art.
* DamselInDistress: In Chapter 10, Heidi was captured for rebelling against the Sarkaz occupation of Londinium and held captive in an abandoned factory turned detention center, however, she was able to at least rally a majority of the captives with her to rebel together by the time Amiya and the Doctor arrived.
* DiscardAndDraw: Unusually, her two skills have complete opposite effects, focused on offense and defense respectively. Her first skill causes all Operators in her range to ''lose'' 3 Block and gives them an ATK buff, while her second skill instead causes them gives them 1 Block while buffing their HP, DEF, and healing from Heidi's trait. Similar to Nightmare, her talent also changes its effect based on which skill she has equipped, with equipping her first skill passively giving nearby allies a small ATK buff and using her second giving them an equivalent DEF buff.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Was a minor supporting character in ''A Walk in the Dust'', about a year before her playable debut in Chapter 10.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Heidi has been very busy since the player saw her several years ago in her first appearance as she's been serving as Rhodes Island's informant within Londinium and helping Eartha by using her high-class connections. Fragments of this story can be read in the notebook clippings unlocked by beating certain chapter 10 maps.
* SituationalSword: Her second talent passively speeds up the auto SP regeneration rate of all allies in range. Great, right? Only catch is that it only works while playing stages in Episode 10, unfortunately.
** Her skills [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman are also tailor-made for usage in Episode 10]], with her ability to raise or lower the block of her allies on demand helping handle the mechanics of the chapter, which interact heavily with block count.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: 13 years since her first appearance in a flashback has done wonders for her physical beauty, having grown notably taller and more mature than when we last saw her. She also wears a fancy black dress emphasizing and accentuating her bare shoulders and curves.

** A minor cosmetic one: she's the one of the two operators (along with Sora) that does not have a "back-facing" sprite during operations.
