History Characters / MonsterHunterStories2WingsOfRuin

* NoHeroToHisValet: Some NPCs note that he is often very casual with ''Lady Lils'' due to him having known her well before she got her current position of authority.

* SignificantNameOverlap: Razewing Ratha has the same name as Red's Rathalos and as Lute's Rathalos -- the former of whom was worshiped as a guardian deity and the latter of whom is a legendry even a few years after helping stop the Black Blight.

* MeaningfulName: The canonical names for the boy and girl are Leo and Leia respectively, which are derivative of Rathalos and Rathian's Japanese names (Liolæus and Lioleia). They are also Razerwing Ratha's chosen rider.

* ButtMonkey: Monsties (and certain humans) still have no respect for the poor cat; Ranmar tends to whap him around with his tail, and Kayna has a habit of stretching his cheeks when she's particularly annoyed with him.

* SignificantNameOverlap: Razewing Ratha has the same name as Red's Rathalos and as Lute's Rathalos -- the former of whom was worshipped as a guardian deity and the latter of whom is a legendry even a few years after helping stop the Black Blight.

* UndergroundMonkey: He's a rather interesting example among the various pallette swaps and small variations that exist for many types of monster in the series. At first glance he is a regular Rathalos, especially once his wings come in, and was apparently sired by regular Rathalos and Rathian, but he has a number of small physical differences in pattern and color. He differs more markedly when it comes to his stats, having higher Fire attack and Defense than a regular Rathalos, being weak to Thunder instead of Dragon, and having a Speed stat of 12 instead of 11. His Kinship move is like a regular Rathalos, but with various enhanced aspects in the animations, including a glowing aura extending from his wings. He is also unique rather than being a subspecies or rare species or typical variant where multiple individuals or even whole populations exist, being most likely the only Razewing Rathalos currently in existence, and probably the first one to be born since an [[spoiler:Oltura]] was last active.

A young woman who was trained as a Rider by Red. A long time friend of the player character and quite protective of them, she serves as their teacher on the basics of being a Rider, as well as a general mentor for the start of their journey. She's quite free-spirited and bubbly, and tends to not take too much negativity from those around her, be they fresh-faced newbies or fully-armored Hunters. Her main Monstie is a Velocidrome named Avmar and her favored weapon is the sword and shield.

* CrutchCharacter: She and Avmar are there partially to make sure the NoobCave that is the early Hakolo Island sequence isn't too rough on the player; you'll quickly notice that she's very tanky even compared to an equal-level player character, and Avmar will often handily out-damage an equal-level Ranmar or other Velocidrome. However, even toward the end of the early Hakolo section (when you're in Guardian Ratha's Lair), you'll likely notice her damage start to fall off thanks to her mono-focus on sword & shield (though Avmar remains competitive throughout) and she'll feel pointedly underpowered during the [[spoiler:Anjanath boss fight]] in particular.

* NoHeroToHisValet: Some npcs note that he is often very casual with ''Lady Lils'' due to him having known her well before she got her current position of authority.

* BigBrotherMentor: Once he sees you may be heading down the path he did in the first game he immediatly steps in to prevent that outcome

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He refuses to seal away Ratha's powers permanently, noting that doing such a thing could have unpredictable and dangerous effects since the power would eventually burst out in an even more dangerous way.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Notes that his friendship with Navirou is "weaksauce" compared to the threat Razewing Ratha may pose to the world if allowed to roam free, and that the Mahana Rider must prove they have the power and wisdom to handle him. The words of one friend aren't enough on their own.

* TeensAreShort: Our poor protagonist gets hit pretty hard with this; despite being a bit older than the protag of the first ''Stories'' game, they're still a fair bit shorter than most of the adults around them. "Leia" gets it even worse, being OneHeadShorter than even folks like Kayna, though "Leo" doesn't have it that much better, as even Kyle is a bit taller than him.

* {{Ninja}}: Her outfit and mannerisms match that of a kunoichi, complete with a headband. She always spends a fairly decent chunk of the early game using disguises and camouflage to spy on the protagonist.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Wears a Wyverian version of open-toed sandals, showing off her three-toed, sharp-clawed digitigrade feet.

* MsFanservice: Elegant, curvy, and, er, scantily clad. She's introduced via SexyWalk and spends her time lounging in a way that wouldn't look out of place among ModelingPoses. Reverto sums her up as "one good-looking lady."

* SexyWalk: Rather noticeable from the first few seconds you see her.

* Characters/MonsterHunterCivilization: See Hunters, Riders, Wyverians, and Lynians for races and groups in the game; and the Spin-Offs section for characters carrying over from the first ''Stories''.

* WeaponOfChoice: Non elemental Greatswords. Interestingly enough this is a departure from his choice weapon in the original game which was a Tigrex Longsword, however the change could have been due to the fact they didn't have a longsword model or stats to scale for him due to Longsword not being a weapon choice in the game (in ''Stories'' he never actually fought in battle during gameplay).

* WeaponOfChoice: either time you have him as a battle buddy, he uses Dragon Elemental Sword and Shield

* ShesGotLegs: For a Wyvernian girl, she's got very long and sylphlike legs. Her default outfit and DLC outfits (minus the [[VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise Hinoa/Minoto Maiden Outfit]] since she wears hakama pants instead) especially show lots of emphasis on her legs. Although, this was most likely done out of the cuteness factor rather than blatant {{Fanservice}}.
