History Characters / TheWitchAndTheBeastOrlencia

Orlencia Sett or simply known as just Orlencia is a domain found within the 4th level on a lone island sandwiched between the 8th and 7th continent. Said island has a mysterious hole of immeasurable depth called ''the Fall'' that houses the various domains from the 1st to the 17th level. [[GothicHorror A dark, gothic, Edwardian Era society]] populated by Vampires and devoid of any magic. Orlencia is perpetually trapped in a technological freeze where the entire world is split between two rival Vampire factions.

* NoWomansLand: Whilst not to an extreme level, it is very clear and stated early on by Dunward, that Orlencia is a heavily patriarchal society, especially amongst vampires, with multiple women following the whims of a much stronger male like a pride of lions. With women being paraded around in gala events as objects of possession by the men. [[spoiler:This is justified (Given the period setting) and surprisingly subverted once you realized that a ''woman'' is in charge of the entirety of the Gnir.]]

* TestosteronePoisoning: Orlencia provides a critique and deconstruction of the [[Main/QuintessentialBritishGentleman Quintessential British Gentleman]] trope prevalent in most vampire gothic media. In Orlencia, the victorian-esque society would create a stagnant, toxic environment for women and folks of lower societal status. Stagnant due to the nobility refusing to part away from backwards tradition as it may threaten their power. Men of nobility; rather than being gentlemanly are incredibly egotistical who lusts for power and fight over petty slights. Even the ones who do act gentlemanly are condescending as hell who treat and view women no better than property due to their birthright allowing them to abuse their status. Men in these positions as shown during the Conglade Gala, act as deprave beasts of uncontrollable lust whilst hiding behind a facade of civility.

* [[spoiler:[[CruelandUnusualDeath Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Died via Dunward giving her several dinner plate-sized holes on her torsoe.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Unlike his more haughty older brother, the Bridge resembles [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Alucard of Castlevania fame.]]

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: If Dunward was in any other manga, he would be the BigBad of the series. Is just that, [[CrapsackWorld in the world this place is set in]], Dunward is the ''least'' biggest asshole in Orlencia. [[spoiler:At least he is able to honour most of his contract and was shown to be a stern but fair father of what little glimpses we have of his past.]]

* [[spoiler:BlindedByTheLight: An overpowered example, but Oscar Orlencia revealed himself to be the descendent of the Great Witch and creator of Orlencia by both blinding ''and burning'' the Vampires by unleashing a wave of sunlight so strong it incinerates all who looked at him directly in the eye.]]

* DisguisedInDrag: A forced example, Oscar always wear male clothing until the Bridge forced him to wear a dress.
* [[spoiler:DivineParentage: Even amongst witches, Oscar is on another different level given that his ancestor is also a creator entity of the ''entirety of Orlencia Sett.'']]

* CodeOfHonour: [[spoiler:Despite his awesome power and being a descendent of a witch, Oscar would never dare ursup rulership in Orlencia as that would break the contract. In the Fall, each world has a creator and each of them swore to never interfere nor upset the balance of power; intervening only if such balance was broken. This is why Oscar is so adamant in stopping Dornez as she abused her power.]]

* [[spoiler:LightIsGood: A more literal example given that his powers is literal sunlight.]]

* [[spoiler:TheOneGuy: Oscar revealed himself to be a full blown witch. This makes him the ''only'' male witch with ''actual'' witch powers. His ancestor's blood is so strong that it even makes Oscar look very feminine, which explains his effeminate appearance. Given that other characters like Owent who is also descendent from a witch is just a normal boy, this makes Oscar an oddity that even he himself acknowledged.]]
* [[spoiler:[[PersonofMassDestruction Person of Mass Destruction]]: As a descendent of the literal witch of sunlight as well as Orlencia's creator. Oscar can literally vapourize the entire world if he wants to.]]

* [[spoiler:ThePowerOfTheSun: What his witch powers ended up being. He is literally a walking sun person capable of incinerating anything the light touches.]]

* DestructiveSaviour: Saved Owent and Falvell from a group of sinister mages at the cost of ''accidentally'' freeing the Evil Eye and destroying the entire town.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: If Dunward was in any other manga, he would be the BigBad of the series. Is just that, [[BlackAndGrayMorality in the world this place is set in]], Dunward is the ''least'' biggest asshole in Orlencia. [[spoiler:At least he is able to honour his most of his contract and was shown to be a stern but fair father of what little glimpses we have of his past.]]

* DrivenByEnvy: Part of the reason why Dornez is so ambitious to become the ruler of Orlencia is because she despised her own physical weakness and frailty as a woman. [[spoiler:Untill of course, when Angela came and visited her.]]

* EvilVersusEvil: What her fued between her and Dunward deevolved into.

* HealingFactor: Due to [[spoiler:having the powers of Angela]], Dornez was able to heal her body on an ''absurd'' degree. She can god damned renerate her entire ''head''.
* TheKindnapper: [[spoiler:Subverted. She kidnapps a bunch of girls on a weekly basis in order to uphold a contract with Angela. This includes Dunward's only surviving daughter.]]

* TheMistress: Was this for Dunward before he was ursurped by her.

* PrideBeforeAFall: His biggest weakness was his pride and his obnoxious levels of arrogance. [[spoiler:Suffice to say, his fued with the Conglade was what led him to be distracted by Dornez leading a human uprising and tearing his palace ''and'' his family to the ground.]]
