History Characters / ReZeroOtherCharacters

* TheDitz: She is ''really'' stupid. She doesn't know a lot about the world she lives in, she often says unnecessary things and it's hard for her to get what people mean, especially smart people.

!!184
One of Regulus' wives and often acts as representative of them. Her real name is Sylphy.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She has dark skin and blonde hair. She stands out because there aren't a lot of characters with both traits in the cast.

!!Reshia Tinsel

* ChekhovMIA: In Arc 4, she's stated to have gone missing many years ago and is presumed dead. [[spoiler:In Arc 5, she shows up alive and well, now living with her new family at Priestella after losing her memories in an accident.]]
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: [[spoiler:She didn't die in the landslide accident, but lost her memories. Garek Thompson, who was a merchant at the time, found her and took care of her. They ended up getting married and have two children together.]]
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:She doesn't have memories of her life before the landslide accident. She now has a new life with a new family under the name Reala Thompson.]]
* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler:Her orange hair turned blonde after the landslide accident.]]
* MissingMom: She left the Sanctuary 10 years ago to search for Garfiel's missing father and never returned. She apparently died in a landslide during her search. What happened to her is the main reason behind Garfiel's extreme hostility towards those outside the Sanctuary. [[spoiler:It's later revealed she's still alive, but lost her memory in the landslide accident and started a new family with another man.]]

* WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler:Despite the loss of her memories before the accident, she subconsciously named her new full human children after Garfiel and Frederica.]]

* KnifeNut: Chin brandishes a pair of knives for intimidation.

* AbsoluteCleavage: She wears a skimpy dress that exposes her cleavage and midriff.

* StoryBreakerPower: The only reason Reinhard doesn't eliminate every obstacle in the story instantly is that he is either distracted or in another place. In fact, this is something commented upon by several characters, who note he has the power to resolve any crises he encounters like a true hero, regardless of the apparently-impossible odds, but he himself is always absent whenever such a situation is occurring for various reasons, either due to the criss occurring in another location, or being too low-key for him to catch wind of it. Accordingly, despite being a 'hero' he is unable to save those whose lives are lost in the time it takes him to arrive, and he himself is deeply aware of this limitation despite his overwhelming strength. Furthermore, as a technical rival to Subaru and Emilia because of him being Felt's knight, him resolving their crises situations for them reflects badly on their capabilities. Accordingly, Subaru often has to find a solution to his problems himself, and Reinhard's immense skills are usually showcased in a BadFuture after Subaru died in that timeline.

* {{Foil}}: To Subaru. Reinhard is an example of the overpowered main character archetype that plagues stories of this genre and was written to contrast Subaru's lack of protagonist abilities and potential. Both have extremely overpowered abilities, but Reinhard's allows him to solve every problem by himself, while Subaru has to consistently borrow the powers of his friends to get things done. Likewise, both have problems with their families, but Subaru manages to resolve them, while Reinhard's problems continue to get worse.

* StoryBreakerPower: The only reason Reinhard doesn't eliminate every obstacle in the story instantly is that he is either distracted or in another place.

* CombatSadomasochist: Elsa rather enjoys cutting people apart. In addition, she practically moaned upon taking a hit from Subaru. Taken UpToEleven during her battle with [[spoiler:Garfiel]], during which she repeatedly compliments her enemy whenever he succesfully (and painfully) damages her.

!!Vollachia Empire

[[folder:Vincent Vollachia ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]
!!Vincent Vollachia / Vincent Abellux
[[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vincent_vollachia.png]]

The 77th and current [[TheEmperor Emperor]] of the Vollachia Empire. He first appears in Ex-Volume 4 and debuts in Arc 7 of the main story.

* AbdicateTheThrone: For some reason, he has been deposed from the Vollachian throne and has fled the capital of Lupgana to the forest where Subaru meets him.
* CoolMask: Played with. When Subaru first encounters him in the forest, he'd fashioned a bag that held his various supplies and items in a dead drop into a makeshift mask, cutting it into strips and wrapping it around his entire face. He removes it in Chapter 12 when revealing his name and identity to Subaru. Not only is it to obscure his face, but the fact that Vincent had to rely on a makeshift creation rather than any actual mask, sells how [[WithThisHerring utterly lacking in options and resources he currently is.]]
* TheChessmaster: He's described as having a keen intellect which enabled him to become Emperor and in EX Volume 4 he manufactured a coup attempt against him as a gambit to sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Lugnica.
* FlamingSword: Like his half-sister Priscilla, he is able to summon and use the Yang Sword Vollachia.
* InvisibilityCloak: One of the tools vincent retrieved from the dead drop was this, albeit it only works when the user holds their breath, limiting its usefulness except as passive defence to get the drop on people looking for him.
* LordCountry: As TheEmperor of the Vollachia Empire, his surname is Vollachia.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: In Arc 7, he introduces himself as Abel, a short form of his actual surname '''Abel'''lux. He reveals his full name at the end of Chapter 12.
* RightfulKingReturns: He has apparently been deposed in a coup when the Nine Divine Generals and his Prime Minister rebelled and aims to restore his status as TheEmperor, starting Arc 7 proper.
* RingOfPower: Amongst the supplies that Vincent retrieved from the dead drop was a ring that, if one kissed the jewel inlaid on it, would allow the user to cast fire magic from a limited store of mana within. This allowed Subaru to use magic during the Lifeblood ritual, despite his limitations with his broken gate, but unfortunately Subaru was forced to detonate the ring as part of a FinishingMove upon the Mabeast they were forced to fight.
* WeakButSkilled: Vincent's combat skills are far from his strongest asset, ironically enough for an emperor of a country where AsskickingEqualsAuthority. When he and Subaru are forced to undergo a lifeblood ritual to earn the loyalty of the Shudrach Clan, overcoming a massive snake Mabeast in combat, Vincent is hardly better in a fight than [[TheTeamNormal Subaru]]. Their attempt to AttackItsWeakPoint fails because Vincent isn't strong enough to completely slice through the Mabeast's horn, getting his sword stuck mid-way through it and forcing Subaru to detonate his RingOfPower, along with [[AnArmAndALeg his hand]], to finish it off.

[[folder:Todd Fang]]
!!Todd Fang
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/todd_re_zero_light_novel_27.png]]

A Volachian Soldier who initially seems like the only friendly face that subaru can find for miles, his easy-going nature hides a devastatingly sharp intellect and ruthless attitude towards those he deems a threat to himself.

* AxCrazy: Todd's preferred weapon is an axe he keeps strapped to his hip and he's surprisingly quick to use it at the slightest suspicion that somebody could be a danger to him.
* CombatPragmatist: Todd doesn't believe in fighting fair. ''At all''. If he can kill somebody, and he decides they need to die, he'll kill them in the same moment he decides that's what he needs to do- no gloating, no forewarning, just instant death before they can react. If his opponents don't see him coming or don't know he's there, he'll take full advantage of that to take them out instantly without risking a fight. [[spoiler: Subaru dies multiple times to him in Guaral in the space of a few minutes, the first time happening so quickly and suddenly that Subaru needed a minute to process that he'd even returned by death in the first place. Ultimately, Subaru is only able to escape the situation by turning this tendency against Todd, yelling out that he knows he's nearby, aware that [[DirtyCoward Todd will never face him openly]], and being prepared to counter his next attack based solely on the fact that it would happen when everybody had let their guards down after apparently escaping Jamal and the rest of the soldiers pursuing them.]]
* DirtyCoward: Todd's extreme decisiveness and swiftness in taking out threats seems to be rooted in an earnest desire to eliminate anything that could possible threaten his life, with it being pretty clear that he's doing it [[ItsAllAboutMe mainly for his own benefit]] and not for the sake of the army or Volakia's glory. [[spoiler: Subaru is able to turn this against him in Guaral, escaping Todd's meticulously-prepared ambush simply by shouting out that he's aware Todd is about to attack him, counting on the fact that Todd will refuse to engage is there's even the slightest chance his opponent could retaliate against him.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: This is Todd's defining trait. He utterly refuses to take any risks with possible threats and works to eliminate them near-instantly the second he identifies one, without gloating, bragging, or giving his target even a single chance to retaliate. When meeting Subaru for the 'first' time, he realises he's being manipulative towards him and Jamal, based solely on the way his eyes looked, and instantly stabs him in his right shoulder, which Subaru realises was because he knew Subaru's left hand was currently [[{{Fingore}} damaged]], so targeting his other arm cripples him and renders him unable to fight back. This was something Todd came up with in a snap decision, and showcases his instant decisiveness when he feels he's facing somebody who needs to die. [[spoiler: In Guaral, he kills Subaru multiple times in a blisteringly short period of time, at one point even blowing up a tavern full of civilians just to catch him in the blast, and is so effective with his tactics that Subaru can barely process who's attacking him even as he resets to just before the ambush happens, only finally finding out that it's Todd after dying about 5 times in the space of a few minutes.]]
* TheSociopath: Once Todd's true nature is revealed to Subaru upon his second revival, it becomes clear that this is what he truly is underneath the veneer of friendship and charming personality he puts on when working with others he plans to have on his side. Todd's go-to reaction to verifying that somebody might threaten him is instant lethal intent, and he shows an alarming disregard for the lives of others in favour of what benefits himself personally. When Subaru lures a snake mabeast to ambush the Patrol Todd and Jamal were leading towards what they thought was the hidden Shudrach village, Todd remains focused on attempting to kill Subaru even as the patrol to being attached by the dangerous monster, having identified that he's caused the attack somehow and had outwitted him, thus elevating Subaru to the level of 'threat' in Todd's eyes and making him utterly focused on ensuring his demise. Despite that, [[spoiler: when Todd ambushes Subaru in Guaral, during one of the death loops he admits he holds no personal enmity towards him for what he did, it's just that he's a dangerous existence that Todd can't tolerate, and thus will devote all his energies to wiping him out regardless of the cost. Compounding the statement is the fact he blew up a bar of civilians just to catch Subaru in the blast, showcasing how [[TheUnfettered he doesn't care for collateral in favour of what benefits himself]]]]. A side-story in Vol 27 reveals that the Volacian patrol actually managed to kill the snake mabeast without any casualties, but Todd, under the belief that Subaru was a Shudrachian spy and was leading them into an ambush, discreetly poisoned the patrol's water supply with the snake's venom and then mercilessly killed them all after sending Jamal away on an errand, aware he could never convince then it's be too dangerous to pursue Subaru and that they'd report him for desertion otherwise, [[ColdEquation thus killing them all was simply the best choice for him]]. [[spoiler: The ultimate sign of his LackOfEmpathy comes when Jamal pulls a HeroicSacrifice to allow Todd to flee Guural with the wounded Arakiya. Todd's POV shows that he cannot even remember which side of his face Jamal wears his EyepatchOfPower on properly, showing how little he bothered to remember his 'closest' ally's appearance despite their apparent bond]]. Subaru, who has faced the insanity of the Sin Archbishops first-hand, notes that there's something deeply ''wrong'' with Todd, and is notably intimidated by him despite his comparative lack of power against the super-powered fighters of the world.
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: Defied. If Todd decides somebody has to die, he'll kill them instantly before they can even react. This trait of his makes him an excellent soldier and highly-dangerous opponent,[[spoiler: but unfortunately, given he decides that [[SaveScumming Subaru]] needs to be on his hitlist, this backfires on him, as his attempts to kill Subaru only end up forcing him back in time with forewarning of Todd's future actions, which in turn, further convinces Todd of the necessity of Subaru having to die as he keeps evading and outwitting him from his perspective.]]

[[folder:Jamal Aurelie]]
!!Jamal Aurelie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jamal_aurelie_character_design.png]]

Todd's NumberTwo and general sidekick, his fighting skills and fearsome nature compliment Todd's manipulations and charistmatic personality

* DualWielding: Jamal's preferred weapons are a pair of sword that he's quite adept with, using either for offence or defence as needed with surprising skill for somebody who looks and acts like a back-alley thug most of the time.
* EyepatchOfPower: Jamal wears an eyepatch over his right eye, and is quite adept at fighting in spite of it.
* EyeScream: Todd comments that Jamal lost his right eye in some manner that came about from disregarding Todd's more cautious advice, which is why he tends to defer to Todd's more pragmatic viewpoint in arguments, given the sore reminder it represents.
* ItsPersonal: He quickly takes offence against Subaru and his group when they arrive in the Vollacian Camp, given [[spoiler: Rem]] beat two of his men badly enough that it would limit his effectiveness in having his platoon carry out his orders. Subaru's first introduction to his is him forcing his boot into Subaru's mouth when he's BoundAndGagged, just to torment him and vent his ire with Subaru's travelling companions.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Initially, he looks and acts in a similar capacity to [[GoldfishPoopGang Ton, Chin and Kan]] during Subaru's first day in the capital, being a recurring enemy that antagonises Subaru for his own personal reasons and generally being a problematic obstacle that Subaru has to negotiate his way around rather than fight, but once they met again in Guaral, Jamal demonstrates that he's both vastly more stronger and skilled than his appearance suggests, easily forcing Medium back and being powerful enough that [[spoiler: rem]] expresses worry about having to fight him.

!!Three Great Mabeasts

[[folder:White Whale]]
!!White Whale

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakugei_anime.png]]

A giant, flying, white, whale-like mabeast that's terrorized the world for over 400 years. Anyone it hits with its white fog is not only killed but erased from the memories of everyone else, along with any physical evidence of their existence--only Subaru remembers them. Since its appearances are random, hunting it down is even more difficult than it would otherwise be.
----
* AirWhale: A literal flying MonsterWhale that has menaced the world for centuries.
* BrownNote:
** Of a sort. Subaru comes up with the idea of using the side effect of [[spoiler:saying that he can Return By Death to kill or cripple the White Whale after he manages to get on top of its horn. It succeeds in bringing the beast down to the ground, where the real trap can be sprung.]]
** The White Whale can do a version of this, too, causing many people to go temporarily insane and collapse in agony.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Taking down the White Whale is seen like this, in-universe. Not just because it's a giant, flying, magical whale with instant-death, area-of-effect ranged attacks, but because its appearances are always random and unpredictable, meaning that actively hunting for it is extremely difficult. But the chance to take it down and get revenge for all of the suffering, terror, and horror it's inflicted on the world for 400 years is too tempting for many to pass up.
* TheDreaded: The White Whale is probably the second-most feared entity in the world after Satella, and for good reason. The anime demonstrates just why this is in excellent detail: you don't even remember its victims, nor do any records. The only way for anyone to know that people have fallen victim to the White Whale is for there to be some kind of irrefutable organizational structure that necessitates the existence of people at a given point in time, but, inexplicably, there is no one filling those positions/records. This leads to situations in which a convoy of traders are picked off one by one, with none of them even realizing they're under attack because they instantly forget the ones whom are killed ever existed. The infamous "Who's Rem?" meme hammers this home: Ram cannot even recall ever having a twin sister (or any kind of sister), despite the two being almost inseparable for their whole lives. And since all physical traces of Rem's existence were erased, no one even believes Subaru when he insists that Rem did exist. The implications are pretty heavy--how many parents are going about their daily lives, completely unaware that they once had a beloved child that they spent decades raising, with all physical traces of their existence being erased as well? A husband of 50 years might retroactively come to believe that he had never been married at all, and nothing could ever indicate otherwise. In fact, the only reason why ''any'' of the White Whale's victims are remembered is that it sometimes decides to kill people without using its signature fog/mist attack.
* {{Expy}}: Quite possibly one of Sin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. A giant, flying, whale-like monster of overwhelming power that's been terrorizing the world with impunity for hundreds of years, who appears at random around the world? Yup.
* FromBadToWorse: [[spoiler:Just when it seems like they have the White Whale on the ropes, it spawns two clones of itself.]]
* MonsterWhale: This monster is basically the fantasy world version of Literature/MobyDick. If a giant flying whale that hunts people isn't terrifying enough, it also possesses a mystical fog that's capable of {{Ret Gone}}ing anyone it touches and erasing all trace of them from history.
* RasputinianDeath: The White Whale takes an absurd amount of punishment to kill. Even [[spoiler: dropping Flugel's tree onto it]] isn't enough to kill it, forcing [[spoiler:Wilhelm]] to finish it off.
* RetGone: What the White Whale's fog/mist attack inflicts. It erases both all memories of the victim and all physical traces or records of that person's existence. Subaru is the only one who remembers, most likely solely because of a side-effect of his Return By Death ability, which lets him remember everything even past death itself.

[[folder:Great Rabbit]]
!!Great Rabbit

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oosugai.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A singular Great Rabbit]]

The Sizeable Hare is actually a swarm of hares with an insatiable, unending hunger. They have an inherent population limit that they can't exceed (which is still a very high number), but they will quickly replenish back to that maximum number in seconds if all of them aren't killed at once. Also, their bites are supernaturally strong: Subaru puts his hand near one and the entire hand is almost instantly chomped off.
----
* DevouredByTheHorde: Inflicts this on its victims. It's a very painful way to die, as Subaru can attest to.
* TheDreaded: The Great Rabbit is treated as a natural disaster even worse than White Whale. While the appearance of the White Whale is a freak occurrence akin to a meteor, the Great Rabbit is more like a never ending hurricane that can be tracked by the sheer amount of devastation it causes by eating everything in sight.
* DudeWheresMyReward: [[spoiler: Emilia's faction reports that they killed the Great Rabbit to the government, but they don't receive credit for the achievement since no witnesses outside their faction were present and no body could be found. They said that they'd consider the claim proven if the Great Rabbit made no appearances for the next decade, but by that point the Royal Selection will be over.]]
* FromASingleCell: If even one of the hares survives, it will continue to multiply back to its maximum population limit extremely quickly, usually by feeding.
* HairRaisingHare: These fluffy bunnies are actually a man-eating monster that will devour every person in sight, or, if no people are nearby, then they'll devour themselves.
* HiveMind: The Great Rabbit is believed to be a single entity split into hundreds.
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: A non-alien version. They descend onto a settlement and devour everyone, leaving nothing behind in terms of bodies.
* KillerRabbit: Don't let its adorable appearance and small size fool you because this little thing is one of the most dangerous mabeasts in the world and the hardest to kill.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: [[spoiler: How they are ultimately defeated. Beatrice, aided by Subaru and Emilia, uses the ultimate yin-element spell, Al Shamac, creating a wormhole of sorts that sucks the entire swarm into an alternate dimension of blackness.]]
* TheSwarm: They always act as a swarm, overwhelming everything with sheer numbers and incredible multiplication/replication.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Black Serpent]]
!!Black Serpent
The Black Serpent is said to be the hardest of the great three mabeasts to control or deal with.
----
* TheDreaded: The White Whale, while powerful and existentially terrifying, is still vulnerable to sufficiently-massed firepower and magical attacks, preventing it from operating too close to cities or armies. The Great Rabbit is mindless and drawn by overt concentrations of mana, and can also be killed by sufficient concentrations of disciplined firepower if it gets too close to an army or city. Comparatively, Black Serpent is unpredictable and has no known means to attract its attention towards any given target. Even if it is killed, the curses it would leave on the area upon being defeated makes fighting it seem very costly, no matter how perfectly executed.
* TheGhost: While it's influence is great and the cast has fought its ''venom'' as its own dreaded boss monster prior, The Black Serpent itself has not properly appeared. This is likely because of the sheer difficulty to track it down in the first place, and hasn't happened upon the characters itself yet. Narratively, this works because the monster is simply too powerful to ignore and thus would put a halt on any current plot arc by simply having its location known.
* PoisonIsEvil: Its venom alone is so powerful and dangerous that it's able to prey on powerful demons and serve as an immensely tangible threat on its own.

* MaleGaze: The anime isn't afraid to show off her butt in some camera angles.

!!Three Great Mabeasts

[[folder:White Whale]]
!!White Whale

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakugei_anime.png]]

A giant, flying, white, whale-like mabeast that's terrorized the world for over 400 years. Anyone it hits with its white fog is not only killed but erased from the memories of everyone else, along with any physical evidence of their existence--only Subaru remembers them. Since its appearances are random, hunting it down is even more difficult than it would otherwise be.

* AirWhale: A literal flying MonsterWhale that has menaced the world for centuries.
* BrownNote:
** Of a sort. Subaru comes up with the idea of using the side effect of [[spoiler:saying that he can Return By Death to kill or cripple the White Whale after he manages to get on top of its horn. It succeeds in bringing the beast down to the ground, where the real trap can be sprung.]]
** The White Whale can do a version of this, too, causing many people to go temporarily insane and collapse in agony.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Taking down the White Whale is seen like this, in-universe. Not just because it's a giant, flying, magical whale with instant-death, area-of-effect ranged attacks, but because its appearances are always random and unpredictable, meaning that actively hunting for it is extremely difficult. But the chance to take it down and get revenge for all of the suffering, terror, and horror it's inflicted on the world for 400 years is too tempting for many to pass up.
* TheDreaded: The White Whale is probably the second-most feared entity in the world after Satella, and for good reason. The anime demonstrates just why this is in excellent detail: you don't even remember its victims, nor do any records. The only way for anyone to know that people have fallen victim to the White Whale is for there to be some kind of irrefutable organizational structure that necessitates the existence of people at a given point in time, but, inexplicably, there is no one filling those positions/records. This leads to situations in which a convoy of traders are picked off one by one, with none of them even realizing they're under attack because they instantly forget the ones whom are killed ever existed. The infamous "Who's Rem?" meme hammers this home: Ram cannot even recall ever having a twin sister (or any kind of sister), despite the two being almost inseparable for their whole lives. And since all physical traces of Rem's existence were erased, no one even believes Subaru when he insists that Rem did exist. The implications are pretty heavy--how many parents are going about their daily lives, completely unaware that they once had a beloved child that they spent decades raising, with all physical traces of their existence being erased as well? A husband of 50 years might retroactively come to believe that he had never been married at all, and nothing could ever indicate otherwise. In fact, the only reason why ''any'' of the White Whale's victims are remembered is that it sometimes decides to kill people without using its signature fog/mist attack.
* {{Expy}}: Quite possibly one of Sin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. A giant, flying, whale-like monster of overwhelming power that's been terrorizing the world with impunity for hundreds of years, who appears at random around the world? Yup.
* FromBadToWorse: [[spoiler:Just when it seems like they have the White Whale on the ropes, it spawns two clones of itself.]]
* MonsterWhale: This monster is basically the fantasy world version of Literature/MobyDick. If a giant flying whale that hunts people isn't terrifying enough, it also possesses a mystical fog that's capable of {{Ret Gone}}ing anyone it touches and erasing all trace of them from history.
* RasputinianDeath: The White Whale takes an absurd amount of punishment to kill. Even [[spoiler: dropping Flugel's tree onto it]] isn't enough to kill it, forcing [[spoiler:Wilhelm]] to finish it off.
* RetGone: What the White Whale's fog/mist attack inflicts. It erases both all memories of the victim and all physical traces or records of that person's existence. Subaru is the only one who remembers, most likely solely because of a side-effect of his Return By Death ability, which lets him remember everything even past death itself.

[[folder:Great Rabbit]]
!!Great Rabbit

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oosugai.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A singular Great Rabbit]]

The Sizeable Hare is actually a swarm of hares with an insatiable, unending hunger. They have an inherent population limit that they can't exceed (which is still a very high number), but they will quickly replenish back to that maximum number in seconds if all of them aren't killed at once. Also, their bites are supernaturally strong: Subaru puts his hand near one and the entire hand is almost instantly chomped off.

* DevouredByTheHorde: Inflicts this on its victims. It's a very painful way to die, as Subaru can attest to.
* TheDreaded: The Great Rabbit is treated as a natural disaster even worse than White Whale. While the appearance of the White Whale is a freak occurrence akin to a meteor, the Great Rabbit is more like a never ending hurricane that can be tracked by the sheer amount of devastation it causes by eating everything in sight.
* DudeWheresMyReward: [[spoiler: Emilia's faction reports that they killed the Great Rabbit to the government, but they don't receive credit for the achievement since no witnesses outside their faction were present and no body could be found. They said that they'd consider the claim proven if the Great Rabbit made no appearances for the next decade, but by that point the Royal Selection will be over.]]
* FromASingleCell: If even one of the hares survives, it will continue to multiply back to its maximum population limit extremely quickly, usually by feeding.
* HairRaisingHare: These fluffy bunnies are actually a man-eating monster that will devour every person in sight, or, if no people are nearby, then they'll devour themselves.
* HiveMind: The Great Rabbit is believed to be a single entity split into hundreds.
* HordeOfAlienLocusts: A non-alien version. They descend onto a settlement and devour everyone, leaving nothing behind in terms of bodies.
* KillerRabbit: Don't let its adorable appearance and small size fool you because this little thing is one of the most dangerous mabeasts in the world and the hardest to kill.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: [[spoiler: How they are ultimately defeated. Beatrice, aided by Subaru and Emilia, uses the ultimate yin-element spell, Al Shamac, creating a wormhole of sorts that sucks the entire swarm into an alternate dimension of blackness.]]
* TheSwarm: They always act as a swarm, overwhelming everything with sheer numbers and incredible multiplication/replication.

[[folder:Black Serpent]]
!!Black Serpent
The Black Serpent is said to be the hardest of the great three mabeasts to control or deal with.

* TheDreaded: The White Whale, while powerful and existentially terrifying, is still vulnerable to sufficiently-massed firepower and magical attacks, preventing it from operating too close to cities or armies. The Great Rabbit is mindless and drawn by overt concentrations of mana, and can also be killed by sufficient concentrations of disciplined firepower if it gets too close to an army or city. Comparatively, Black Serpent is unpredictable and has no known means to attract its attention towards any given target. Even if it is killed, the curses it would leave on the area upon being defeated makes fighting it seem very costly, no matter how perfectly executed.
* TheGhost: While it's influence is great and the cast has fought its ''venom'' as its own dreaded boss monster prior, The Black Serpent itself has not properly appeared. This is likely because of the sheer difficulty to track it down in the first place, and hasn't happened upon the characters itself yet. Narratively, this works because the monster is simply too powerful to ignore and thus would put a halt on any current plot arc by simply having its location known.
* PoisonIsEvil: Its venom alone is so powerful and dangerous that it's able to prey on powerful demons and serve as an immensely tangible threat on its own.
* SerpentOfImmortality: Very literally an immortal snake, though the immortality is more age related than being unable to die.
* WalkingWasteland: It is a giant black snake which sows the lands it travels through with curses, making it a mobile, living natural disaster. On top of that, it inflicts over a hundred diseases upon anyone it touches--such as with its long, prehensile tongue--which kills its victims in mere seconds in horrific fashion. The curses it leaves upon the land as it travels is analogous to radioactive pollution in which it makes an area uninhabitable and dangerous to even approach for a very long time.

----

* AHeroToHisHometown: Kenichi was something of a local celebrity in the community he lived in, getting along with everyone from high schoolers to the elderly, resulting in his phone having thousands of contacts. This is {{deconstructed|Trope}} on Subaru's end, as he couldn't live up the (perceived) expectations of being Kenichi's son, leading to him being a {{Hikikomori}} prior to the story.
* HeroicBuild: Kenichi is tall and strongly built for a middle age man, and he's AHeroToHisHometown.
* MotherlySidePlait: As a typical anime mom, Naoko ties her hair in a loose ponytail over her left shoulder.

[[spoiler:It's later revealed she's still alive, but lost her memory in the landslide accident and started a new family with another man.]]
* ThePollyanna: She's described as an unfortunate kindly woman who went through many hardships in life, but that despite always looked on the bright side of things.

* RapunzelHair: Her braid reaches down to her hips.

* SkunkStripe: Her hair is pure white with a single lime stripe on the right side.

* InvincibleHero: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} to a horrific degree in this timeline. Despite Subaru's fall to villainy and abuse of Return by Death, he can ''never'' defeat [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Reinhard]] directly no matter how many times he resets. [[spoiler:Instead, Subaru has to settle for trying to destroy the country around Reinhard instead.]]

* AdaptiveAbility: Reinhard's ability allows him to gain powers in response to the situations he is placed in. In addition, these new powers don't disappear afterward, allowing him to stack abilities to become almost invincible.

[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meili_portroute.png]]

A child assassin who hails from the same organization as Elsa. She was the one behind the Mabeast attack in Alam Village.

* AdaptationalModesty: A mostly donwplayed example. In the light novel, Meili's outfit is slightly tighter than in the anime, which makes her torso's physique more noticeable, and her chest is no exception. Also, her dress is slightly longer in the anime, as it reaches her knees, while in the light novel it only reaches halfway through her thighs, thus leaving her legs more exposed.
* AffablyEvil: She is actually very nice and bubbly towards everyone, including the people she is about to kill.
* AnimalAssassin: Apparently, Meili uses Demon Beasts to kill her victims. In one of the loops, Meili admitted that she had killed Petra with "one bite".
* ArcVillain: Of the second and fourth arc of the series.
* TheBeastmaster: Meili is extremely skilled in controlling mabeasts. Case in point, she was the one who brought the Mabeasts to the Mathers territory.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: [[spoiler:Subaru does this in Arc 6 in order to get her help in crossing the desert to reach the Pleiades Watchtower.]]
* EnfanteTerrible: She's a little girl who also happens to be a professional assassin. In her defense though, she was first raised by mabeasts and later by Elsa of all people.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about Elsa, as the assassin raised her and they nowadays are pretty much like sisters. After Elsa's death, Meili sought to find a way to avenge her death.
* FluffyTamer: The mabeast she controlled was undeniably cute until it showed its true form and became a gigantic monster.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:While she initially tries getting revenge for Elsa's death by attempting to kill Subaru, the events of Arc 6 allow Subaru to [[DefusingTheTykeBomb connect with her]], and she joins the Emilia Camp as a result.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: In the second arc, she infiltrates Alam Village and makes herself pass as one of the village children.]]
* MoralityPet: To Elsa.
* ProfessionalKiller: Like Elsa, Meili is a member of an assassin organization who was hired [[spoiler:by Roswaal]] to kill Subaru and cause chaos on the mansion's territory.
* PunchClockVillain: Unlike her partner Elsa, Meili doesn't take joy from killing and sees it as just business.
* RaisedByWolves: She was raised by mabeasts in a forest until Elsa found her.
* TakingTheBullet: In the Ayamatsu If, she dies taking a strike from Reinhard that was meant for Subaru.
* {{Tykebomb}}: She's a WildChild who was picked up and recruited by Elsa as an assassin for her power to use mabeasts to attack and kill people.
%%* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Like Elsa, her fate is similarly unknown during the loops where Subaru encounters and gets killed by the Great Rabbit.]]
* WeakButSkilled: Her ability to control an army of mabeasts can be quite terrifying, as seen by her assault on Roswaal's mansion. However, this is the only ability she possesses, and so she is as helpless as any child her age without mabeasts in the area.
* WildChild: Meili was a feral child who lived her early childhood in a forest full of mabeasts. Before she met Elsa, Meili couldn't even speak human words.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has blue hair.

An extremely buff fruit seller that Subaru meets when he arrives in Lugunica.
----
* GoodMorningCrono: For the first and third loops, Kadomon is the person Subaru awakens to, each time asking what he is doing just standing in front of his shop.
* HappilyMarried: Despite coming off as scary, he has a wife and a daughter that he loves.
* OralFixation: He always carries a blade of grass in his mouth.
* RecurringExtra: Appears quite often despite having little to nothing to do with the plot.
[[/folder]]

* BigSisterInstinct: She cares deeply for her partner Meili. [[spoiler: This is actually what leads to her death. She was about to land a finishing blow on Garfield, but she stopped the moment she noticed that Meili was about to be crushed by debris and was about to save her before Frederica did that for her. This gave Garfield the opening he needed.]]

* DefusingTheTykeBomb: [[spoiler: Subaru does this in Arc 6 in order to get her help in crossing the desert to reach the Pleiades Watchtower.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about Elsa, as the assassin raised her and they nowadays are pretty much like sisters. After Elsa's death, Meili sought to find a way to avenger her death.

* BeautyMark: She has one under her left eye.

The seventh-ranked Divine General and ruler of Chaosflame, a Demihuman city.

[[folder:Olbart]]
An elderly shinobi who is the third-ranked Divine General of Vollachia.

* BewilderingPunishment: As far as he's concerned, [[spoiler:[[VillainProtagonist Subaru]] came from ''literally'' nowhere to murder his loved ones and destroy the Capital...all for the goal of ruining his reputation as a flawless knight. Though to be fair, it's not as if Subaru, who's already undergoing SanitySlippage from abusing Return By Death to the full extent, could really [[InsaneTrollLogic explain his motivations]] either.]]

* TheGhost: While it's influence is great and the cast has fought it's ''venom'' as its own dreaded boss monster prior, The Black Serpent itself has not properly appeared. This is likely because of the sheer difficulty to track it down in the first place, and hasn't happened upon the characters itself yet. Narratively, this works because the monster is simply too powerful to ignore and thus would put a halt on any current plot arc by simply having its location known.
* PoisonIsEvil: It's venom alone is so powerful and dangerous that it's able to prey on powerful demons and serve as an immensely tangible threat on its own.
