* {{Superboss}}: The White God is one of the most resilient and by far the strongest opponent in the game, with attacks capable of causing a FullPartyWipe if they go in unprepared.

* GlassCannon: Siobhan's HP is lacking, but their lighter deals out absurd amounts of damage when fully overclocked, to the point where they can single-handedly reduce endgame bosses' HP by half in a single turn.



* RobeAndWizardHat: After the TimeSkip, Siobhan buys a pointy, wide-brimmed hat that looks like a classic witch's hat.

Added DiffLines:

* GeneralFailure: Regardless of his swordsmanship, Sir Alex is an abysmal tactician. [[spoiler:When he's given command of the kingdom's forces to quell the riots in the final act, he's so deranged by his need to show up Leo that he marshals the entire guard to the palace's front door -- including the guards who were ''patrolling'' the palace, leaving the King almost defenseless]].
* GreenEyedMonster: He's bitterly jealous of Sir Leo for taking his position as the kingdom's Blademaster.

Added DiffLines:

* {{BFS}}: The human-sized pocketknife he wields is considered one of these, to the point where many of his opponents are baffled that he can even swing it at all. Its size is a key factor in the battles against [[spoiler:Blademaster Leo, whose rapier-like needle blade shatters under a few good blows from Verm's weapon]].


Added DiffLines:

* FieldOfBlades: [[spoiler:The final battle against him takes place in one of these, with his numerous spare needles scattered around the throne room]].


Added DiffLines:

* MasterSwordsman: Regarded by many to be the greatest living swordsman in Rodentia, with fighting strength equal to an entire battalion.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Before the TimeSkip, Siobhan shows hesitance at their Mammy addressing them with female titles. After the TimeSkip, Siobhan starts being referred to with they/them pronouns and makes some comments that imply that they don't identify as female anymore, but nothing is specified.

After the TimeSkip, Siobhan starts being referred to with they/them pronouns and makes some comments that imply that they don't identify as female anymore, but nothing is specified. [[spoiler:Whilst working under Aquilla as their assistant, they even encourage them to use such pronouns, because Aquilla personally considers the idea of gender distinction to be utter nonsense compared to [[ForScience the pursuit of scientific knowledge]]]].



* TheSmartGuy: Siobhan is almost invariably the one to fill the other characters in on anything technical or scientific.

* TheSmartGuy: Siobhan is almost invariably the one to fill the other characters in on anything technical or scientific. Aquilla even takes notice of this and, despite their high standards and overall issues with the rest of Muria for their experiments, is completely genuine about allowing Siobhan [[spoiler:firstly to become their assistant, then to inherit the title of Plaguemaster of Muria after their passing]].


Added DiffLines:

* UnstoppableRage: When confronting her old boyfriend/mentor George over [[spoiler:the whereabouts of their missing friends and family from White Hall]], Gwen initially keeps demanding answers from him between trading attacks, but in the face of his persistent silence and disapproval over her choice to defy the Gods who "care" for them, Gwen eventually unleashes her own version of Verm's Berserk state, only hers lasts for a whopping ''98 turns'', more than enough to finish the fight with, especially since it occurs when George's health is getting low.

Meant to do Invoked Trope.


* ZodiacMotifs: Like the sign he's named after, Leo is a charismatic, confident knight, with a penchant for showsmanship. [[spoiler:He is also courageous enough to betray his own king, but only after it becomes clear he values nothing for the lives of his own people. It's also implied this is an [[EnforcedTrope enforced]] family tradition- the girl implied to be his daughter in the ending where you spare him is named Virgo.]]

* {{Expy}}: Verm is a mouse version of [[{{Manga/Berserk}} Guts]] in a [[LighterAndSofter less harsh and dire]] world. From the cloak and handwraps and {{BFS}}, to making a LifeOrLimbDecision and severing a part of his body with a broken sword, getting a prosthetic that should take him a long time to become accustomed to but doesn't, going against a force far far above him, being rather terse except in battle where he can show BloodKnight aspects... One of his lines is "As long as I was swinging my sword at a foe, I didn't have to think" which is an ''extremely'' Guts thought. There's also a shot of him [[spoiler: riding an owl]] while holding the Titan Cleaver that's a clear visual reference to Guts riding on Zodd's back. Verm's dark period is not nearly as pronounced or sinister as the Black Swordsman's of course, but he does learn the same kind of lesson about doing better with friends and allies [[spoiler: and contemplates giving up on {{Revenge}}, but Verm is actually able to manage it as humans just aren't Griffith.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:After Verm and his party land the final blow against him, Verm hops over to meet him face-to-face and menacingly tells him to run. The following cutscene makes it pretty obvious that the Yellow God took Verm's advice.]]

[[folder:Nightwings]]
The Cailleach's four children, Bane-Ghial, Sheer-Ghlass, Doo-Dorraghey, and Jiarg-Lossanagh, who have taken her place atop Ashen Tower.
----
* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: For some reason, their colors (and names) match the horses of the biblical Horsemen. Bane-Ghial is white (Conquest), Sheer-Ghlass is green (Death), Doo-Dorraghey is black (Famine), and Jiarg-Lossanagh is red (War). [[spoiler:The party rides them into battle in the opening of their attack on Sky Garden.]]
* TheOwlKnowingOne: Like their mother before them, they claim to have some kind of supernatural knowledge.
* ThePsychoRangers: They mirror the composition of Verm's party: Bane-Ghial is their main melee fighter, Jiarg-Lossanagh attacks from range like Siobhan, Sheer-Ghlass inflicts status effects similarly to Gwen, and Doo-Dorraghey sings the same songs as Bruce.

* EagleLand: Type 2, patriotic American-accented colonizers from across the sea [[spoiler:who exterminated the native red squirrels to take over their territory]]. However, most of the vileness comes from their leadership, with their actual citizens portrayed as victims of a tyrannical regime.
