History Characters / TearmoonEmpire

* DumbassHasAPoint: Downplayed in that she's not actually dumb academics-wise and more comes off that way due to various vices that the narrator mocks her for, but there are times where Mia does make valid points and observations. One prominent example occurs with Sion concerning [[spoiler:whether or not he would kill Abel if he was oppressing his people]]; upon hearing Sion would turn his sword on him without question if it came down to it, Mia proceeds to lambast him about him judging someone as guilty if he doesn't really understand the full picture. Mia's words came from considering how Sion in the previous timeline was in a position as a classmate where he could have convinced Mia to do better for the people of the empire when things were still salvagable, yet he instead ignored her and only criticized her to her face once the revolution was inevitable, likely as he already judged Mia at face value as shallow and selfish. His judgement of her failed to account for how Mia did try her best to mitigate the effects of the famine, but she simply was unprepared to handle a situation that would be overwhelming for anyone, let alone someone as sheltered as Mia. While Sion doesn't understand the real drive behind her words, he doesn't ignore the implications she brings up about him judging and intervening in a situation he didn't do anything to prevent before it escalated doesn't make him an arbiter of justice especially since he heard about the unrest in the country throughout summer break and didn't investigate to check whether or not that was true before making preparations for military intervention.

* ArcherArchetype:
** In the original timeline, being the symbol of the revolution meant that she couldn't afford to fight at the front lines, where she'd likely die. As a result, she learned how to wield a bow from Liora -- who, as a member of the forest-dwelling Lulu tribe, is one of the few proficient archers around -- and became quite skilled.
** In the new timeline, her frustration over being unable to do much in Vol. 2 leads to her becoming an archer, just like her original version. As a result, she's able to [[spoiler:save Mia from her assassination, via firing at the enemy from a distance]].

* ArcherArchetype: The Lulu tribe of the Sealence Forest are skilled archers and hunters, Liora included.

* CastingGag: Abel's Japanese voice actor Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka is famed for playing ''[[Literature/SwordArtOnline Kirito]]'', a confidnet and charismatic warrior [[ChickMagnet who sweeps every lady he meets off her feet]] and is arguably [[MasterSwordsman the current greatest living swordsman]] of his saga, barring his wife Asuna. In contrast, Abel is a meek and soft tempered wallflower who is all but ignored by the opposite sex, and while capable of competently ''wielding'' a sword, is woefully outclassed in skill and strength by virtually ''every'' other named warrior in the Tearmoon Empire setting.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Mia is SecretlyDying, everyone can tell that ''something'' is wrong, because the ObsessedWithFood Mia isn't finishing her meals.

** When Mia confronts Rafina over the nobles who kidnapped Tiona, Rafina seems angry with Mia over how lenient she was with the guilty nobles, as she just had their servants deported and warned them to be on good behavior. Mia ends up too scared to talk to Rafina, causing her to rant about how she used to hate Yellow-Moon tomatoes until there was nothing left to eat, only to realize this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Rafina assumes Mia is being metaphorical, and is saying the nobles only did these bad things because they didn't realize how wrong their actions were, and that it would be better for them to reflect on their crimes instead of giving them an overly harsh punishment. Mia goes along with this to avoid Rafina's wrath and insists that this was indeed the point she was trying to make.

In the original timeline, Miabel did not exist.

* CastingGag: Abel's Japanese voice actor Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka is famed for playing ''[[Literature/SwordArtOnline Kirito]], a confidnet and charismatic warrior [[ChickMagnet who sweeps every lady he meets off her feet]] and is [[MasterSwordsman the current greatest living swordsman]] of the saga, barring arguably his wife Asuna. In contrast, Abel is a meek and soft tempered wallflower who is all but ignored by the opposite sex, and while capable of competently ''wielding'' a sword is woefully outclassed by ''every'' other named warrior in the Tearmoon Empire setting.

* WildTake: Mia is prone to extremes of stylistic exaggeration that would make the cast of Manga/OnePiece proud; whether it's turning black and white, blurring out, or outright ''turning to stone'', Mia will have you rolling on the floor in laughter whenever her anger/disappointment/fright/shock is played for humor.

* SlaveToPR: Once she starts developing a reputation as a saint, based on misunderstandings and lies, she finds herself having to keep it up and get involved in situations she wants absolutely nothing to do with, lest she disappoint her followers. [[spoiler:In Volume 10 & 11, she realizes it would not be a good idea for her to lose the horse race because her followers have a strong opinion of not only her benevolence, but her skills.]]

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: In the original timeline, Mia was abandoned by everyone save for Anne. Despite her rudeness and cruelty, Anne never stopped coming to visit her in prison and felt she shouldn't have had to be executed, even grooming her hair during her visits. These visits were a great source of relief for Mia, so much so that, despite the current timeline's Anne having no recollection of these, she named her her personal handmaid and treated her with kindness as a thanks for those visits.
* BenevolentBoss: Mia is this to her followers, especially the Princess Guard, although she only acts like this due to the benefits it gets her. However, it's played straight with some people like Anne whom she truly cherishes, and in general she makes sure to reward loyalty, given that it was in short supply in the original timeline.
* BigEater: She really, ''really'' likes to eat. At the end of each volume are journal excerpts that are largely her talking about what she ate that day.

* MarryForLove: Double subverted. She liked Sion in the first timeline, albeit based on a shallow attraction due to his looks, and didn't consider that politically, there's no way they could ever marry; as a result, she's more pragmatic in the new timeline, focusing on Abel for the political benefit he offers. However, at least one future branch, in which Abel is exiled from his country, nevertheless has Mia marry him despite others' protests over how Abel no longer brings anything to the table whatsoever.

* SlaveToPR: Once she starts developing a reputation as a saint, based on misunderstandings and lies, she finds herself having to keep it up and get involved in situations she wants absolutely nothing to do with, lest she disappoint her followers.

* Villainous Breakdown: He begins going through this when Mia manages to win over the Perujin royal family which was possibly one of the factors that trigged her stroke, besides his unhealthy lifestyle.

* WildTake: Mia is prone to extremes of stylistic exaggeration that would make the cast of Manga/OnePiece proud; from turning black and white, blurring out and outright ''turning to stone'', Mia will have you rolling on the floor in laughter whenever her anger/dissapointment/fright/shock is played for humor.

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: In the Empress Prelate timeline, she decided that there was no need to investigate accused serpents. It is better to kill entire masses of innocent people to kill a few serpents than waste energy to filter them out. Conversely, those alleged to be victims of serpents received her utmost compassion. Which is how the BigBad, a sneakier evil, managed to ingratiate herself by Rafina's side, becoming a DecoyDamsel.

* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: They love to set things up so that most of the time they profit even in defeat. Usually it requires some outside help or luck in order to secure a real victory over them.

* StatingTheSimpleSolutuon: Combined with EvenEvilHasStandards; he states that rather than [[spoiler:killing Abel to corrupt Mia, they should just kill Mia who is traveling along with Abel.]]
