[[folder:Miscellaneous minor characters]]

* TimeMaster: With the use of Chrono's horns, Joshua is able to freeze people's time.

* FiveBadBand:
** The BigBad - Aion
** TheDragon - formerly Chrono, now Genai
** TheBrute - Viede, although he's implied to be a GeniusBruiser in the manga
** The EvilGenius - Shader
** The DarkChick - Rizelle

* SpontaneousReverb: In the anime when she uses her powers.

* NunTooHoly: If you had to pick one trope to define Rosette, this would be it.

* BigSisterInstinct: Her goal is to save her little brother from Aion. She goes as far as to not hesitate to attempt to chase after Aion when Joshua is taken, even though she's only twelve years old at the time. Chrono admits in the manga that the main reason he made the contract with her, because he knew she'd run off alone if he didn't.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Chrono.

* {{Tsundere}}
* TwentiesBobHaircut: Though she doesn't really fit the stereotype, Rosette's hair was cut into a bob soon after she joined the Order – probably as part of her training. By the story's present day, she's grown it back out again. [[spoiler:By the time she dies in the manga, she wears it in a waist-length braid.]]

* TwentiesBobHaircut: Got one at some point after her initial disappearance.

* BrokenBad: Aion in the manga. Not so much in the anime version.

* InVinoVeritas: When Satella gets drunk at a dinner party she reveals that she's a {{shotacon}} by blatantly flirting with Chrono, then starts to wonder if she should give up on finding her family's killer.

* {{Shotacon}}: In the manga, Satella likes "younger boys"... much to Chrono's chagrin.

[[spoiler:[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment DID I MENTION THEY'RE REALLY ALIENS IN THE MANGA]]?]]

* SecondLove: Possibly. Rosette might not be the first person Chrono fell in love with, however his feelings for Magdalene might have been similar to what a son feels towards his mother as well instead.

* [[spoiler:ThemeTwinNaming: Both Chrono and Aion's names are related to time. 'Chrono' is obviously a reference to the Greek god 'Chronos' the personification of empirical time, and 'Aion' is a Greek deity who is meant to contrast with Chronos as a representation of forever.]]

* PosthumousCharacter: By the time the story begins, she's been dead for close to fifty years.

* SatelliteCharacter: For Chrono. She seems to have done this on purpose.

* UnhappyMedium: Her visions are at such a constant and overpowering level that she can't even remember what her name is anymore--Mary Magdalene is the name given to her by the Order.

* [[spoiler:ThemeTwinNaming: Both Chrono and Aion's names are related to time. 'Chrono' is obviously a reference to the greek god 'Chronos' the personification of empirical time, and 'Aion' is a greek deity who is meant to contrast with Chronos as a representation of forever.]]

This is the character sheet for the {{anime}} and {{manga}} series ''{{Manga}}/
ChronoCrusade''. '''Unmarked spoilers''' ahead, in order to make the page read a little better.

* CainAndAbel: It turns out Joshua's very loyal to Aion and doesn't ''want'' to give up his horns...so Rosette and Joshua end up on opposite sides of a war as Rosette desperately tries to get through to him.

* ClingyJealousGirl

* DestructiveSaviour

* DomesticAbuser: Some of Rosette's {{tsundere}} antics towards Chrono make her come across as this--at one point in the manga he's even shown lying in his own blood after a beating. Always PlayedForLaughs.

* DrivesLikeCrazy
* DudeHesLikeInAComa: When Chrono comes down with a fever, Rosette is told by a FortuneTeller that the way to cure a fever is to [[IntimateHealing kiss the ill person.]] Rosette finally gets the courage to try it on Chrono while he's sleeping.

* FanServicePack: Rosette's first uniform is fairly modest. Then she gets a new uniform with slits in her skirt up to her hips and a vest that looks much like a corset.

** Justified as she was busy learning how to fight, and the order ''made'' the food for the girls, so besides training, fighting, and some time off, she doesn't get much time to training to cook. Also justified when she was a kid where she mostly played with the boys or looked after Joshua.

* GoOutWithASmile: Both versions. [[spoiler:Twice]], in the manga.

* TheHeroDies: Given the nature of her contract with Chrono, it's a ForegoneConclusion that Rosette is going to die young. When, where and how it happens, however, is an unknown, which contributes to the tension of the story.

* HeroInsurance: Rosette can be pretty destructive sometimes. However, the series actually explains ''how'' she gets away with it--the Order pays for some of the damages and also has to bribe the local media not to report on their involvement with the destruction.

* IWillWaitForYou: In the ending of the manga, [[spoiler:Chrono promises Rosette that he'll return to her before going off to fight Aion in their final battle. For a reason that is never explained, he disappears for years, leaving her to wait for him even though their contract means that she doesn't have very long to live. After eight years he eventually does make it back to her right in time for her to die in his arms. Again.]]
* JeanneDArchetype: In the manga, Chrono calls Rosette "a modern-day Joan of Arc" in an attempt to cheer her up. She fits some of the trope—a girl from humble origins who becomes a ChurchMilitant ActionGirl for a noble cause (saving her brother from a demon)—but her personality is a loud, HotBlooded MsViceGirl that swears like a sailor and has a bad habit of [[DestructiveSaviour causing as much damage as she manages to prevent]].

* LethalChef: Chrono is usually the victim of her cooking. To be fair, while she was ''horrible'' as a kid, Chrono admits her cooking later in life actually isn't that bad--it just ''looks'' poisonous.

* NunsAreMikos

* PhenotypeStereotype

* RedOniBlueOni: Inverted--Rosette is HotBlooded, but wears blue. Chrono is the voice of reason, but wears red.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight

* TwentiesBobHaircut: Rosette had her hair cut as a bob soon after she joined the Order, although she grew it back out again.

** Expect not really, he just seems to be. He's 170cm(5'9") tall acording to Moriyama.

* GoodWingsEvilWings: Subverted, he's got the typical black bat wings of a demon, but he's a good guy.

* GratuitousFrench: Chrno often says "oui" at various moments in the story. [[spoiler:It's most likely intentional, as his mother Lilith is implied to have come from france, technically making Chrno french as well.]]

* IAmAMonster: Chrono states this towards the end of the manga, before [[spoiler:going to face Aion after the death of Rosette]].

* MartyrWithoutACause: Chrono has a bad habit of throwing himself in the way of enemy attacks--although he ''does'' have the ability to heal himself, so it's at least a little understandable.

* MeaningfulName: "Chrono" comes from the Greek word "Chronos", the personification of time--which fits both one of the main themes of the series (the passage of time) and his power to "stop" time.

* OlderAlterEgo: Chrono may look like a 12-year-old boy normally, but when his powers are unsealed he turns into his true form -- a biseinen demon that looks closer to 20.
* OlderSidekick: Chrono's at least sixty and likely even older, but that doesn't stop him from calling himself Rosette's 'assistant'.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Chrono is at least sixty years old (some reports indicate that Moriyama has given 85 or so as his age) but alternates between looking either twelve or twenty.

* PinocchioNose: A subtle one in the manga--in the 7th volume, Chrono closes his eyes and puts on a strained smile when he realizes something's happened to Satella, then proceeds to start to babble about how they'll save Joshua soon while Rosette insists Chrono's being strange. A volume later, he once again closes his eyes and fakes a smile right before he [[spoiler:freezes Rosette so she can't follow him]].
* PointyEars

* RedOniBlueOni: Inverted--Rosette is HotBlooded, but wears blue. Chrono is the calm voice of reason, but wears red.

* [[spoiler: ThemeTwinNaming: Both Chrono and Aion's names are related to time. 'Chrono' is obviously a reference to the greek god 'Chronos' the personification of empirical time, and 'Aion' is a greek deity who is meant to contrast with Chronos as a representation of forever.]]

* TsurimeEyes: Chrono has these in both his big and small forms, though his bangs can usually hide them. In at least his bigger form they serve to make him look rather intimidating and aggressive. At first this seems to be at odds with Chrono's personality, however [[spoiler: they are probably meant to contrast with Aion's TaremeEyes as well as Aion's less emotional personality (manga only).]]

A meek girl that was saved by Chrono and Rosette when her adoptive father attempted to use her holy powers for his own goals. Her powers have brought her nothing but misfortune, which has lead her to dislike them and caused her self-esteem issues. She admires Rosette and wants to grow up to be strong and confident like her.

* ApologisesALot
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: ....Azmaria?

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan

* CuteClumsyGirl
* DamselInDistress

* HimeCut: Has this hairstyle, despite being Portuguese, not Japanese. It fits her mature personality, although she's quieter and more humble than TheOjou.
* TheIngenue: The gentlest, kindest and most innocent character in the story, despite her {{Woobie}} status.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Azmaria is a young choir singer. She's sought after by the bad guys because she's an apostle; a human with holy power. In her case it's healing power.

* TheMedic

* OfficialCouple: In the manga epilogue [[spoiler:with Joshua]].

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Possibly subverted--her red eyes are possibly only supposed to imply that she's an albino.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Downplayed. She has the gentle-yet-plucky personality, the HimeCut and the cooking ability but nothing strictly japanese. Maybe it's because she travels so much.

* CoolBigSis: Particularly for Azmaria. (Rosette doesn't exactly look up too Satella...)

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:She dies in the anime. In the manga, she spends 75 frozen in crystal, but is still alive at the end.]]
* ExpressiveHair: Satella's hair curves into a question mark in one scene of the manga.

* {{Shotacon}}: In the manga, Satella likes "younger boys"...much to Chrono's chagrin.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Probably the worst of the entire cast--even Creator/ADVFilms' translation of the manga screws up on this and calls her "Stella" on one page.

* ChristianityIsCatholic: Sorta. In the manga, the Magdalan Order is some form of "AnimeCatholicism"--they have a lot of Catholic trappings, but priests in the Order can get married (as Joshua does), among other inconsistencies. The anime straightens it out by saying that the Order is a combined effort of several different denominations working together, so Rosette is technically not a nun and Remington is apparently a protestant minister. Many FanFic, however, makes the Order full-on stereotypical Catholic, with confessionals, rosaries and vows often popping up.

Rosette's superior in the Order. At first she comes across as aggressive and strict--particularly when dealing with Rosette, who tries her patience--but she's actually rather sweet if you show her common courtesy. It's clear that she loves her job and wants to protect people, but she can sometimes take a harsh approach to do it. Later in the series she shows a more thoughtful side as she grapples with the approaching darkness.

* NunsAreFunny: She's usually pretty serious, but her hot tempered reactions to Rosette's actions can be pretty extreme--particularly when she starts attacking Rosette with wrestling moves.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's at least seventy years old, but looks about thirty tops. [[spoiler:In the anime, it's because he's a former angel while the manga has it that his body was infused with Legion, effectively making him 40% demon.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Early scanlations spelled his name "Yuan".

* TheGwenStacy

* LoveMartyr: Mary Magdaline loved Chrono (though what kind of love is left a bit ambiguous) despite knowing almost from the day she was born that [[spoiler:he would eventually kill her. It's partially subverted in the manga, since Chrono inadvertantly killed Magdaline while trying to ''protect'' her, but was unfortunately unaware of the effects their Contract would have on her.]]

* PosthumousCharacter

* DemonLordsAndArchdevils: The "Elders" (or leaders of the demons) and Duke Daffau.

* [[spoiler: ThemeTwinNaming: Both Chrono and Aion's names are related to time. 'Chrono' is obviously a reference to the greek god 'Chronos' the personification of empirical time, and 'Aion' is a greek deity who is meant to contrast with Chronos as a representation of forever.]]

* HealingHands

* IllBoy: Joshua was one of these back when he was a child, which is what lead him to accept Chrono's horns from Aion.

* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:When Fiore's past with Satella Harvenheit, her sister is revealed, it doesn't end well for either party.]]

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the anime, she dies in a battle with Satella. In the manga, she spends 75 frozen in crystal, but is still alive at the end.]]

* {{Meido}}

* OlderThanSheLooks: Fiore looks around 15, but she's actually probably closer to 25--[[spoiler:she just hasn't aged since her death]]. In the manga epilogue, she still looks the same [[spoiler:although she's now around 100 years old thanks to being frozen in crystal from 1924 to 1999]].

* TwentiesBobHaircut

The first member of the Sinners that Chrono and Rosette confront directly, Rizelle is a demon known as the "Puppetmaster". Although she can fight when cornered, she prefers to manipulate humans like puppets and use them to do her dirty work. She's desperate for attention from Aion.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rizel.

* DeathByAdaptation

* TheGlomp: Her MO.
* GraveMarkingScene: [[spoiler:She's implied to be the one leaving flowers on Rosette's grave, as Chrno might be buried together with her and she's shown just after the flower scene]].
* HotScientist

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: One of the stranger ones, occasionally her name is given as Shedl or Sheda in scanlations.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Jenai, or--hilariously--[[GenderBlenderName Jenny]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sometimes his name was spelled "Bid" or "Wid".

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Steiner, Satella's butler]] survives in the manga but is killed off at the carnival in the anime.

* HumanPopsicle: The kids at Seventh Belle, thanks to Joshua's use of the horns.
