History Characters / DissidiaFinalFantasyWarriorsOfChaos

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: A bit ironically, she seems completely clueless throughout both games just how un-terrifying she appears to people in general (and especially towards men). Which makes her comes across as rather naïve, in her own way. In fact, when she first notices Laguna's hesitation she assumes it's because he's "caught in fears icy grip" (not comprehending that men might get distracted by scantly clad females for reasons other than fear).

* OneWingedAngel: Averted, surprisingly enough considering he's the TropeNamer. Sephiroth's OWA form would require a completely different character model, due to how inhuman it is, rather than just a new skin, and that would have forced the game to stop and load every time he activated it (which is strange, considering how most of the other villains' EX forms were based on their legitimate One Winged Angel forms). He does have his one black wing from ''Advent Children'' and ''KingdomHearts'', though, making the trope be applied ''[[VisualPun literally]]''.

* AntiVillain: ''Mostly'' [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type I]]; while he's fighting for Chaos's side, he has no interest in the war and invokes EvenEvilHasStandards with the Emperor and Ultimecia. That said, while he's willing to fight the Warriors of Cosmos to get what he wants, he doesn't go out of his way otherwise. It's also implied in his ''Dissidia 012'' character bio that he might have also wanted to end the war as well.

* FunetikAksent: Subverted. Unlike ''Final Fantasy VIII'', Ultimecia does not pronounce her hard "c"s as "k"s. Like many other things in this game, this has [[BrokenBase split some fans on whether or not this is a good thing]].

** The sequel gave it a magic block ability, making it AwesomeYetPractical against mages like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra]] or [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]]. It's also useful against AIs who [[ArtificialStupidity would rather spam mid-range magic attacks than run up to you and attack.]]

** AwesomeYetPractical: As an Assist, the AI of course times his combos perfectly. Not only does he do a lot of damage, but he comes out fast and does Wall Rush to set up for further combos, and his combos are so long that it's possible to attack the opponent in unison with Jecht to pile on even more damage.

* HotDad

** The sequel gave it a magic block ability, making it AwesomeButPractical against mages like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra]] or [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]]. It's also useful against AIs who [[ArtificialStupidity would rather spam mid-range magic attacks than run up to you and attack.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Justified, as she always floats.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Another justified example, as she doesn't have exactly human-shaped feet.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: As with everything else, the man is just ''too manly'' for anything but pants, even in his Zanarkand Abes alternate outfit.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Justified, as she always floats.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Another justified example, as she doesn't have exactly human-shaped feet.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: As with everything else, the man is just ''too {{badass}}'' to wear shoes, even in his Zanarkand Abes alternate outfit.

-->Voiced by: ShigeruChiba (Japanese), Creator/DaveWittenberg (English)

* ThrowItIn: ''A lot'' of Kefka's lines and quirks can be traced back to ShigeruChiba, who ab-libbed a lot during recording sessions.

* ActorAllusion: Kefka, upon meeting with Terra for the first (onscreen) time, implies that she was a bloodthirsty monster beforehand. When he realizes that she doesn't remember, he reveals this information in such a way that causes her great trauma. Lastly, although unintentional, he takes a kid upon his escape (more specifically, the kid fought him), just like Raditz did with Goku in the beginning of the Vegeta saga. Both Raditz and Kefka are voiced in the Japanese version by ShigeruChiba.

* ShoutOut: His character design bears some resemblance to the Goblin King Jareth from Labyrinth, who was played by David Bowie. Apparently, the English localizers noticed this, as ChristopherCoreySmith, The Emperor's English VA, voiced him in a very similar fashion to Jareth.

* MsFanservice: Wears BodyPaint [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn and nothing else]], has [[NaughtyTentacles tentacles]], is [[EvilIsSexy evil]], extremely flexible, FemmeFatalons... we could be here all night.

-->''Hopes are worth DIRT! I'm going to destroy EVERYTHING!''

* MythologyGag: Her comparatively small role in the conflict make sense when you remember that [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere she was around for all of one dungeon]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII''

-->Voiced by: ShigeruChiba (Japanese), DaveWittenberg (English)

** There's one regarding DaveWittenberg as well: During the battle with Terra, Kefka briefly makes a crazed face (specifically while chortling while flying high-speed towards the camera after the third attempt at bombing Terra with various Ultima balls) as he flies towards the screen. Another one of DaveWittenberg's characters, [[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Yazoo]], gives a [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120422183619/finalfantasy/images/8/85/Yazoo-is-insane.png very similar facial expression]] at one point in ''Advent Children.''

* FoeYay: With Cloud [[DepravedBisexual and Tifa]]. He's the biggest reason to give Dissidia [[FoeYay/DissidiaFinalFantasy its own Foe Yay page]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Zidane's "What is that guy made of?" Line in the 13th cycle? Well, his [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Garland-ThirdEX.png new 012 alt]] takes off his armour...
