* TheCasanova: He is a ''big'' womanizer.

* TheScrappy: In-universe example. Compared to Katerina, who was loved by ([[DeadlyDecadentCourt most of]]) the people of Nohr, Arete was widely despised. Garon's consorts were especially cruel to her.

* UnwantedHarem: Deconstructed. All the women interested in Garon don't really care about him and are only in it for personal/political gain, and they try to weed out the competition through whatever means necessary. For political reasons, he's unable to eject them from his court even though he himself dislikes most of them, and is as such stuck with fierce competition raging around him.

The narrative does not frame Garon as a villain due to Gray And Grey Morality.

Added DiffLines:

* CameBackWrong: After Garon gets killed in the final chapter, Anankos reanimates him with his soul still inside his body to make him autonomous instead of a mindless vessel. However, Garon's personality and memories also get warped to ensure he'll serve Anankos effectively.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
No idea how that happened.


* SlaveToPR: The reason he keeps the concubines around despite all of the trouble they cause is because he doesn't want to make any enemies. Some of them hail from nobility and ejecting them will cause their families to get mad at him. The ones who aren't from nobility are self-made women with powerful abilities or other useful assets, and ejecting them will make ''them'' get mad at him. Ether way, kicking them out would not end well.

* HeroicSacrifice: Gives up her life attempting to warn Garon about Valla, despite knowing the curse would kill her in the process (though to her credit, she did try to find a way around it, but failed).

half-siblings. Of those named, Bernice is mother to Camilla, [[OriginalCharacter Jeanette is mother to Josie]], and Vesta mother to Leo.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Bernice does when she points out, as part of her attacks on Arete, that she ''is'' very secretive and mysterious, so they have no way of knowing whether her intentions are really as good as she claims.
* KarmaHoudini: Bernice and Vesta, the two who contributed the most to the court turning on Arete, are alive and well-off at the end of the story. Though this is only a temporary reprieve, as they'll end up dead from the infighting by the time of ''Fates'' anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: All of them are willing to order their kids to attack or outright murder other children, if they don't do it themselves.

Added DiffLines:


* AbusiveParents: None of them care one whit for their children, and it's suggested (downright stated for Bernice, Camilla's mother) that they emotionally manipulate/abuse them to keep them in line.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: They are generally friendly and polite on the surface to keep in with social etiquette, and that's as far as their niceness goes.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Deconstructed. All of them are this to Garon, though less because of romantic interest and more because they want the power and riches that comes with his position. They are so jealous they will murder other women and even other ''children'' to keep him, ignoring how that same jealousy has caused him to turn away from them completely.
* PragmaticVillainy: As terrible as they are, they do try to protect their children, less out of love and more out of knowing they'll earn Garon's ire if they don't.
