History Characters / StarOceanTheSecondStory

* ClingyJealousGirl: Some of her new Private Actions in the PSP version show her as this. She warns Rena and Welch of the dangers of pursuing Ernest, and she even ''beats Ernest up'' when she mistakenly thinks he's flirting with Precis. It's so bad that one of the PSP Private Actions centers around Ernest running and hiding so he can get some privacy.

* WeNeedADistraction: One of Rena's new Private Actions in the PSP version has Ernest trying to hide from Opera so he can get some privacy. He asks Rena to tell Opera she hasn't seen him so she'll lose his trail.

* ButtMonkey: If anything's going wrong in a PA that isn't by the player's choice, it's gonna happen to Ashton. In the ''EX'' anime, this is taken ''way'' UpToEleven in addition of being a NoRespectGuy.

* KnifeNut: In ''Blue Sphere'', Rena trades in her knuckles for knives.

* TheStarscream: He makes no secret about this to the party before they fight. Justified as he was really DemotedToDragon due to [[spoiler:Dr. Lantis using his authority as creator and transferring his conscience to their last resort weapon Gabriel to make himself the leader. Lucifer just wants that position back.]]

* TheStarscream: He makes no secret about this to the party before they fight.

* MoralityPet: To Dias, since they grew up together as childhood friends to the point of Dias treating her as a younger sister. Notably, she's pretty much the only character Dias treats with any proper decency, but even then he's still rather cold to her. She's also the only character who can goad him into doing something, even if he doesn't like it.

* SignificantBirthDate: Precis birthday falls on the LeapDay, and she is OlderThanSheLooks.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rena, Leon and Dias have blue hair. Celine's hair is purple.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has purple hair.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: gets a MinidressOfPower makeover in ''Blue Sphere'' (with bonus ZettaiRyouiki in the mobile game adaptation) [[spoiler: which might help explain how she HookedUpAfterwards with Dias...]]

* WitchSpecies: [[spoiler:As a Nedian, she doesn't need to tattoo herself to use symbology, particularly the healing spells that are completely alien to Expel.]]

* WitchSpecies: As a Nedian, he can use symbology without the tattoo.

* WitchSpecies: She opts not to take advantage of it for an unknown reason. [[spoiler: in ''Star Ocean Anamnesis'' it is strongly implied that she was born without the special gene that grants Nedians the ability to use Symbology, though the dictionary in ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'' implies that Chisato was still able to pass the ability to her own descendants.]]

** One of his paired endings with [[spoiler: Rena had him living in Expel with her after the events of the game. Rena asked Claude if he regretted not going back to Earth to which he answered that he was still on Expel because he wanted to. Subsequent games make it clear that this ending is non-canon. Another ending with Opera has him living with her on Tetragenes.]]

* ClingyJealousGirl: Some of her new Private Actions in the PSP version show her as this. She warns Rena and Welch of the dangers of pursuing Ernest, and she even ''beats Ernest up'' when she mistakenly thinks he's flirting with Precis.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: One of his Private Actions in the remake is an obvious shout out to ''Franchise/IndianaJones''.
* BadassBookworm: In his ending with Noel, Ernest reveals he can't stand {{Know Nothing Know It All}}s who never do any fieldwork and just write papers. He's less than thrilled about being honored by them. Half the fun, for Ernest, is the thrill of exploring old ruins and encountering dangers.

* CelibateHero: To a certain extent. Despite having women fall over him left and right (including more than one of the female party members), Ernest is far less interested in romance than he is in adventure and research. When Rena asks him why he doesn't return Opera's affections, Ernest replies that he isn't even certain about his own feelings. The fact that Opera is a ClingyJealousGirl doesn't help either, although his romantic rating for her is highest when he joins the party.

* CombatMedic: Heavy on the combat.

%%* TroubledButCute

* BlindIdiotTranslation: His FamousLastWords, [[spoiler:What!? I hear nothing about that!]]

* {{Adorkable}}: He's a bit of a loser, though we love him for it.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rena started the trend of doing this with ''Star Ocean'''s female leads.

* ZettaiRyouiki: She uses it to show off her [[PowerTattoo Power Tattoos]].

* PointyEars: As a Nedian, he have elven-like ears.

* PointyEars: As a Nedian, she have elven-like ears.
