* FeelNoPain: Both physically and emotionally, though she keeps this a secret from everyone else so they don't think she's abnormal. She was even repeatedly raped by a gang because of her passivity and this unwillingness to tell anyone about her 'pain'. She starts getting her sensation back in fits [[spoiler:after one of the gang hits her with a baseball bat. The pain makes her feel more alive... and murderous]]. They die messily. It turns out that the lack of pain was the result of [[spoiler:her father medicating her as a child to seal her psychic powers before they got out of hand]].

RaisedByWolves is now a human with animal parents It used to refer to NoSocialSkills. Making it mean isolated childhood as well was overloading the trope. Delete this link.

* GoodIsOldFashioned: Okay, this is ''weird''. It's more like "HeroicSociopath is incredibly conservative". Shiki makes almost no use of modern conveniences except for refrigeration and electric light, almost never even answers her telephone, wears traditional clothing whenever possible, seems most comfortable in Touko's ancient, run-down office, and is utterly disgusted by drugs and casual sex (though she seems to feel that it's okay to be gay, since she questions Tomoe's sexuality in a completely neutral manner). She's also isolated, alienated, desperately lonely, and completely insane, and while there's no causal link between all this, there are definitely the same forces in her history at work.

* TokenGoodTeammate - Kokutou is a really decent guy with a Zen Buddhist take on morality. The people he hangs around with are...Neutral at best. He comments on how he'll just have to share the karma of Shiki's sins to be with her. Miraculously, he does this without sounding like a jackass.

The first 5 chapters of Kara No Kyoukai were released online in October 1998. Chapters 6-7 and the "alpha version" of Tsukihime came out at the same time (Comiket 56, 1999), so we're not really sure which character(s) preceded which - though my bet is on Lio.


* {{Expy}}: He can be viewed as a sort of combined Tohno SHIKI and Nero Chaos. He has Nero's gradually fading identity due to multiple contained creatures and the dying sanity and previous decency of SHIKI. Although he was somewhat psychotic even before his origin was awakened. Hell, his motivation can even be considered the basis of Roa's: love at first sight leading to absolute insanity.

Conversely, Lio can be viewed as the prototype of the three in the aforementioned respects, if his character was fully fleshed-out before ''{{Tsukihime}}'' began development.

-->[[spoiler:''Since I’m weak, I cannot do as she said. That’s why I cannot overcome this temptation. The flash of light I felt when I was stabbed in my heart. The overwhelming torrent of death and the beat of life. I always thought I had nothing, but there is still that simple thing left in me. What’s there is death. This fear that sends a chill down my spine. I have to feel the most death I can to feel the happiness of life. For everything in my life I have ignored until now. But it probably would be impossible to die like I did that night. I probably cannot hope for such a striking end. That death pierced me like lightning, like a needle, like a sword. That’s why I will try to come as close to that as possible. I don’t have any idea right now but I still have a few days to think about it. And I’ve already decided on the method. I don’t think I even need to say this, but I think my end should be a long fall from a place overlooking the world.'']]
