History Characters / BravelyDefaultDivineBeings

* BigDamnHeroes: A walking store of items to the most dangerous places in the world! What's not to love?

* ChekhovsGunman: The Adventurer is extremely related to the story by the end of ''Second''.

* PetTheDog: In the [[LethalLavaLand Underflow]], her usual dialogue turns into concern for the party's safety.

* TurnsRed: As she loses HP, she begins to Brave more, hitting you with multiple attacks a turn.

* VillainousVirtues: She's dedicated and patient to an insane degree, considering that she's been manipulating the past versions of the protagonists and going through the same repetitive process for the last 1,100,000,000 years. Even if you delay her plan in the false ending, she's more than willing to do it all over again.

* AmbiguousSituation: Possibly, with ''VideoGame/BravelyDefaultII''. Most of what the player has done in the other two games, such as reviving people near death or playing with time, is covered by the Wind Crystal with Seth and Elvis' book respectively. While it is possible you are still the Guide as you are still playing the game, the most of a nod the player's interference seems to get is in the [[DefinitelyFinalDungeon Isle of Nothingness]] where the barriers Seth and the party comes across on the way to the final battle are mysteriously cleared up with messages you'd normally get from the Exploration logs that specifically mentions other players and their "chosen" Seths. Despite that, nothing is ever fully explained. Additionally, a secret ending you can get from beating Adam in his HopelessBossFight heavily implies that Edna, now unable to go through with her plans, will go off to the player's world on the Night's Nexus' order to spread chaos there.

The deity of the Celestial Realm and a rival to Ouroboros. He uses Anne as his proxy.

[[folder:The Player]]

[[folder:Vega]]

Altair's wife, a fellow scientist from the Celestial Realm.

* BoyMeetsGirl: Altair met her for the first time when they were both taking a holiday at a ski resort. As they were sitting on the lift, a blizzard suddently hit and they were trapped together for a little while. Vega ran when Altair gave her a flower from a nearby tree, but the memory and Altair would be etched into her mind: It's implied she recognized Altair as the same boy she met at the ski resort when he was transferred to her workplace, and it was one of the memories turned into a Ba'al as a result of Providence's attempts to pervert her good memories and cause her despair.

[[folder:Deneb]]

* PlayingThePlayer: Her role in the first game was to inspire the player to begin their journey, and urge them to see the game through to the end, acting as a hint towards getting the full ending and destroying Ouroboros, with the implication that Airy's sister was the good one, helping you put things right. In the second game, it is revealed that everything the player did in that game was simply to oust Ouroboros so that ''her'' master could take over.

* LightIsNotGood: He rules the Celestial Realm, but is just as nasty as those who'd invade it.

[[caption-width-right:340:Diety of the Celestial Realm]]

* MesACrowd: She can set up multiple copies of herself with Now You See Me that can fool even [[EnemyScan Examine]]. Attacking any of the fakes will be met with a painful counterattack, making dealing with them using area of effect moves a ''very'' bad idea.

* AmbiguousSituation: ''All over the place'' when further details are revealed in ''Bravely Second''. Given her MeaningfulName, their overt thankfulness towards Tiz for saving Altair and Vega's souls from Providence, and her true identity as a Celestial all provide interesting implications of her connections to Altair and Vega, almost as if she's possibly their daughter, or a relative/dear friend of either of them.

* NarratorAllAlong: She narrates every appearance of the Duchy asterisk holders in ''Second''.

* KillItWithWater: Does not take well to Water attacks. Interestingly his servant, Airy, operates on this same principle being classified as an insect and being weak to fire.

* TreacherousAdvisor: For Kaiser Oblivion. She sent him two-hundred years into the future instead of the past with the compass.

* TimeMaster: What your abilities amount to, being able to [[SaveScumming begin a battle again if things go wrong]] and decide when to initiate [[TimeStandsStill Bravely Second]]. In ''Default'', [[spoiler:if you destroy a crystal and follow the false ending, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Airy reveals that Ouroboros will try again after this result]]; you are then returned to just before the boss fight you went through to trigger it, and can follow the true ending through to stop Ouroboros for good.]] In ''Second'', [[spoiler:the NewGamePlus option allows you to bring Edea, Magnolia, and Tiz to Yew's initial fight with Kaiser Oblivion, thus allowing them to thoroughly dismantle Anne's manipulations before they can get underway.]]

* {{Combos}}: In her final battle, Airy loves to use a very simple but devastating combo. She'll default one turn, and then brave the next, using Acedia and [[KillItWithFire Zetta Flare]] in sequence. Acedia not only strips all buffs from the party, it places weaknesses upon the party against all elements. Like fire, for example. Even if you know it's coming, it can be ''very'' hard to survive.

* KillItWithFire: All of her forms are weak against Fire. Ironically, she's also able to inflict massive damage to you by debilitating you against all elements and casting her own Fire spells: Flare or Zetta-Flare.

* PlayingWithFire: The second form knows Flare. The third form knows Zetta-Flare.

* SignatureMove: Slaughter for Airy's first form, Flare for her second. Her final form utilizes both Slaughter and an upgraded Flare known as Zetta Flare.

* UpToEleven: The previous high standard we had on "flare" spells was [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2 Jet Bahamut]]'s Exaflare[[labelnote:*]]'exa' being the SI prefix for 10^18[[/labelnote]]. Airy's final form goes a few levels past that, right into ''Zetta'' Flare[[labelnote:**]]'zetta' being the SI prefix for 10^21[[/labelnote]], a feat which has since only been replicated [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII once.]]

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: More EldritchAbomination God than a dragon but this is nonetheless his type.

!!Anne the Fairy, Airy's Sister

[[folder:God of Celestial Realm]]

* MeaningfulName: Providence refers to providing protective or spiritual care, or timely preparation for future eventualities. Given that he was fine with Ouroboros's defeat, both interpretations suit him. The name could also be a reference to the ''Eye of Providence'', considering his second form's central motif.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: By all appearances his final form operates on a different battle system from you entirely: the old Active Time Battle system from Final Fantasies 4 - 9. This way he can periodically activate Bravely Second and attack the party even as they're inputting commands. For context, the player builds up one SP over the course of a few hours; the time between Providence firing off New World Order is best measured in ''seconds''. He still does turn-based actions, mind you, but they always take the form of casting either Dispel or "Ruin or Salvation?"

* GodsHandsAreTied: Beyond guiding the heroes along there is little the player can do to take direct action against enemies. Your primary offensive ability is your control over time: it's implied that Bravely Second is powered by the player, and events you reset by reloading a save file or using NewGamePlus are so thoroughly undone that only Deneb can perceive what you've done.

* GodOfEvil: His title is "God of Destruction".

!!Providence

!!!The Evil One, Piercer of Boundaries, Airy the Fairy

* AlmightyJanitor: One must wonder why your party has to save the world when it turns out the walking save point is so strong that she could casually kill them in a single turn if she felt like it. Not only that, but as the end of ''Bravely Second'' reveals, she is a Celestial, capable of traveling with ease through time and to other realms]].

* TheArtifact: He's from ''4 Heroes of Light'', the game ''Bravely Default'' began development as a sequel to.
* ArtificialStupidity: If she has a free turn, she will ''always'' revive his fox companion rather than attack. This is easy to exploit -- the fox only has 50,000 HP, so with a surefire way to keep killing it every turn (very easily done with a Ranger's Beast Slayer ability and some other damage), you can severely slow her down. Made even easier in ''Second'', with Winter Storm negating all healing, effectively rendering her helpless.

** That one time he was wearing green in ''Default''? She was traveling back in time.

* LimitedWardrobe: Wears his iconic red outfit all the time. Strangely enough, a wary player will notice that he is seen wearing green in ''Default'' the first time Tiz meets him but after that will wear red all the time. It turns out the Adventurer was traveling to the ''past'' that one time (wearing green) to give Tiz the Bravely Second hourglass the party had been carrying to fill it with wishes in order to revive Tiz.

* NoNameGiven: Naturally, "Adventurer" is not his actual name. Averted with the ending of ''Bravely Second'' where the adventurer turns out to be a [[SamusIsAGirl "She".]] Her name is Deneb.
* PetTheDog: In the [[LethalLavaLand Underflow]], his usual dialogue turns into concern for the party's safety.

* TurnsRed: As she loses HP, he begins to Brave more, hitting you with multiple attacks a turn.
** Taken to its logical conclusion in ''Second'', where an entirely new boss battle is tacked onto the end of the first where she's over all more difficult to deal with.

A mysterious figure from the Celestial Realm, whose main motive is to save Altair and Vega's souls from Providence's grasp. She can be read about in the [[Characters/BravelyDefaultOthers Others]] section.

[[folder:Anne]]
!!!Anne the Fairy, Airy's Sister

[[folder:Providence]]

* TheDragon: [[GreaterScopeVillain Ouroboros']] most effective agent, whom she uses the heroes for during his inactivity and ends up being the final battle before he tires of her failures and devours her before facing the heroes himself.

%%* BigBad: Anne is this to ''Bravely Second'', just as Airy was to the first game.

%%* TheDragon: For Providence.

* DemonicPossession: To Tiz in ''Default'' and to Yew in ''Second'' (which also keeps them alive after their opening disasters, though Yew [[NewGamePlus recovers from needing it]] later on). It's implied that the player is the one who's subconsciously guiding the party to where they need/want them to go through said possessions. Though it's more of a heroic example compared to what is commonly seen as you are technically helping them to the right path.
