* AbhorrentAdmirer: He greatly admires and looks up to the princess as his role model since they were kids and constantly tries to follow her examples, but not only does she not remember his name or face, the only things she recalls about him are the traumatic experiences he caused (in the misguided form of kindness) which leads to her loathing him so much that she'd prefer staying "captive" over ever returning to the kingdom and getting married to him since he's so devoted to her that he doesn't realize how accidentally abusive he can be.

Overall, he's so devoted to her that he doesn't realize how accidentally abusive he can be.

to. In fact, there's a whole chapter dedicated to Quilladillo wondering how he managed to place so high in the series' popularity poll (which was treated as an InUniverse event) despite being a low-ranking and somewhat normal demon. Syalis investigates, and discovers that nearly everyone in the castle, up to and including members of the Ten Elders and former Demon King Midnight, voted for him simply because he's a very kind and likeable guy who's always helping out around the castle. Syalis eventually admits that she voted for him as well.

* EnemySummoner: Despite being TheGoomba, they have the ability to summon additional teddy demons to help them in combat. In practice, the one time we actually see them use this ability, it's immediately after the Princess has made herself a set of Teddy Demon themed pajamas out of their fur, so they end up summoning ''her'' into battle by accident.

* {{Chuunibyou}}: He went through something of a "deliquent" phase as an adolescent (going around shirtless, carrying a scythe, etc.) and is deeply embarrassed whenever it comes up. When the Princess visits his family home with some of the other demons he's quite mortified when they discover that his old bedroom is still decorated in an over-the-top macabre fashion with skeletons, spikes, and weapons everywhere.

* HeroismWontPayTheBills: A very rare ([[HarmlessVillain technically]]) villainous example. As the series, and damage by the Princess, goes on, the Elders often find themseves nearly out of budget. Despite incoming threat of humans, Twilight and others still have to find a way to pay their subordinates.

* MaouTheDemonKing: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Twilight is clearly based on this archetype and initially attempts to live up to the role, but it quickly becomes evident that he's too much of a NiceGuy (and too insecure) to actually be evil as the role implies and is more of a PunchClockVillain at worst.



* ForgottenFirstMeeting: It takes the Princess a long time to figure out that her childhood fiance and the Hero are the same person, despite many shared details. The Elders are really not pleased with what they've heard when they connect the dots.

to:

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Not so much in the present, but as a child he had much longer hair, and as a result [[spoiler: Demon King Twilight]] mistook him for a girl when they met as children and developed a crush on him without ever realizing he was really a boy.

However, it has nothing to do with him being unsatisfied with Twilight, but rather the belief that his master is keeping him out of things due to his lack of sorcery skills. When Red's original owner, Tosenbo, learns about this when using a secret hot spring as part of a plan to reunite with him, he informs Red that that issue can be solved if he learned some yokai abilitles. Oblivious to Tosenbo's main goals, Red eventually heads to the yokai area to undergo training without mentioning it to anyone else at the castle, causing everyone else to assume he ran away.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: He has a dark tan skin color, something rather unique among the human-related characters (there are dark-skinned demons, but ethnicity isn't really a thing with them). Given what his name references and the style of his clothing, he's likely the in-story equivalent of Middle-Eastern.

* AmbiguousDisorder: The Princess often ignores attempts to converse with her, and when she responds she tends to be extremely blunt and literal. She also has much difficulty telling people apart, relying on clothes or very distinct physical characteristics, such as spines or fur, to differentiate between them.
