* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite initial impressions, Shad and Sorath care about each other deeply. [[spoiler:They also love Ra in their own warped way, as Uriel points out; everything they do is their misguided way of living up to his expectations.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:When Shad comes to terms with why Ra considered her a failure, she voluntarily tells Ra to incinerate her and Sorath, seeing no reason to keep existing.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:For all intents and purposes, Shad's objective was to understand why Ra considered the heart to be important and was angry that she dared to eat it. In the end, she realizes that it's because the heart teaches pain, and finally obtaining that level of empathy allows her to die peacefully.]]

* LonelyAtTheTop: Implied. [[spoiler:The throne behind him has been offered to or meant for various people, all of whom rejected or left it in some way. In the epilogue, Ra acknowledges that its existence was his own greed, and that it may be better off unused given all the suffering it's caused.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: As standoffish as Ra might seem at a glance, love is his first and foremost value; he created the world from his love for Dark Lessa, after all. This then applies to his creations like the Apostles, who ultimately find their power-ups largely through some form of love.
* GoodAllAlong: Downplayed, as she is still ''very'' much a world-ending threat [[spoiler:and does in fact destroy the world in the series finale]], but the more the reader learns about her, the more obvious it is that she's not motivated by evil or malice. [[spoiler:As it turns out, she loves Ra as much as he loved her; she's just also loyal to her purpose of "balance" and has accepted that the most she can ask for is to be TogetherInDeath with him. When Lucy provides the answer that allows them both to maintain that purpose but also to exist together, Dark Lessa easily undoes her destruction, content.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Of a sort. [[spoiler:She was going to destroy everything regardless, due to the nature of her existence, but when the time comes in the series finale, it's a somber affair even for her--as it's clear she's mourning Ra.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Much of their role in Season 3 is them coming to terms with what they fight for and unlocking their true strength (aside from Uriel, being a NonActionGuy, and Remiel, already a PersonOfMassDestruction).

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:He was Rano's father.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Part of his powers.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died sometime before the start of the story.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Ultimately, his motivation. [[spoiler:Painfully aware that he was unintentionally born from Michael's shadow and that he wasn't created as part of Ra's grand design, Luciel decided to carve out his own space in the world by becoming a god himself--even if it meant spitting in the face of how everyone, Ra included, ''still loved him'' whether or not his birth was an accident.]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: As it turns out, her original appearance was more monstrous, but [[spoiler:she specifically asked Ra to give her a human-like form so that she could comfort humans, even if it meant losing much of her power]].
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler:Or rather, her "spear" is not meant to be wielded as a close range weapon--its true and most powerful form is a bow. She keeps it concealed as it's something of a DangerousForbiddenTechnique, since sacrificing her original form means she no longer has the physical strength to pull back the arrow without repercussions.]]

* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Like Gabriel, his human-esque form isn't his original appearance. [[spoiler:In his case, he gave his body to the Titans of Lignum Vitae to grant them power. When they die, content to serve Rabiel to the end, they return his true form to him.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: He has a soft spot for children. Notably, when he cuts down the undead without hesitation, he then freezes up when undead children are summoned instead.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He at first appears to be somewhat of a LawfulStupid KnightTemplar, being quick to criticize the other Apostles of disloyalty or treason. This is why even Sandalphon ultimately leaves Remiel behind to act on his own, fearing Remiel would disagree with him... only to be proven wrong when Remiel makes it clear that no matter his other values, his love for his family comes first.
* OneManArmy: He easily defeats multiple (pre-upgrade) Dark Apostles single-handedly without breaking a sweat.
* RedBaron: He's the Angel of '''Destruction''' [[PersonOfMassDestruction for good reason]].
