* DadTheVeteran: The patriarch of the Craig family and a brigadier general in the army.

* FieryRedhead: In contrast to his son.

* AwesomenessIsAForce: During his duel with them, Rean and Kurt attempt to launch a two-pronged attack on him. Matteus' solution was to flare his BattleAura to force them away to give him room and counterattack with Thunderous Smite, which sends his second son flying over the cliff.

* GlorySeeker: She fights in the CivilWar out of a desire is to test her skills against other great warriors such as her masters and to abtain renown to surpass Lianne Sandlot.

* OddFriendship: She and [[Characters/TrailsSeriesEreboniaThorsStaffAndInstructors Mary Altheim]] are near-total opposites in terms of personality. Despite this, the two manage to strike enough of a friendship that in ''Reverie'' [[spoiler: Mary confides to her about her relationship troubles with Makarov, with Aurelia respondng by setting up an OperationJealousy to make Makarov finally man up and propose to her.]]

* FourStarBadass: Previously the General of the Lamarre Provinvial Army who effectively took control of the Noble Alliance and all the Provincial Armies following Duke Cayenne's arrest. Also lead the war and annexation of North Ambria which by all accounrs was a CurbStompBattle thanks to her.

* HotTeacher: She becomes the principal of the Branch Campus in ''Cold Steel III'' and is a very attractive woman who is [[BuxomBeautyStandard the bustiest woman on campus]] who gets a few bathing scenes in a towel to highlight her generous curves. Her swimsuit during swimming lessons is also a two piece which shows off her [[AmazonianBeauty well-toned abs]].

** Her Military Might's buffs to her stats were lowered from Large in ''Cold Steel III'' to Medium in ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie''. The latter game does add the Brandish status to it as well however.
** Her Brave Order, Golden Aura, received a slight nerf in ''Reverie'' as it only restores 50 CP, in contrast to how it could resore 80 in the previous games.

* StatusBuff:
** Her Military Might Craft gives a buff to her STR, ATS, SPD (Large in ''Cold Steel III'' [[{{Nerf}} Medium in ''Cold Steel IV'' and ''Reverie'']]). It also grants her the Brandish buff (which increases the damage of her attacks and Crafts by an additional 20%) for a few turns in ''Reverie''.

* StatusInflictionAttack: Whereas most characters' Crafts usually inflict one or two aiments, her Prismatic Tetra Blade Craft stands out for having an equal chance to inflict ''four'' ailments at once ([[TakenForGranite Petrify]], [[DamageOverTime Burn, Freeze]], and [[ForcedSleep Sleep]]). Her [[LimitBreak S-Craft]] can also lower all of the enemy's stats after doing damage.

* GoldColoredSuperiority: Known as the Golden Rakshasa, with a gold colored BattleAura, and AceCustom and is also the strongest warrior affiliated with the Unified Regions Army and Branch Campus.

* HotTeacher: She becones the principal of the Branch Campus in ''Cold Steel III'' and is a very attractive woman who is [[BuxomBeautyStandard the bustiest woman on campus]] with a few bathing scenes in a towel.

* SpinToDeflectStuff: She does this with her Spiegel's sword (despite it having a perfectly good shield) presumably as a way of showing off.
* StatusBuff: Her Military Might Craft gives a large buff to her STR, ATS, SPD, and also gives her the Brandish buff (which increases the damage of her attacks and Crafts by an additional 20%).
* StatusInflictionAttack: Whereas most characters' Crafts usually inflict one or two aiments, her Prismatic Tetra Blade Craft stands out for having an equal chance to inflict ''four'' ailments at once ([[TakenForGranite Petrify]], [[DamageOverTime Burn, Freeze]], and [[ForcedSleep Sleep]]). Her [[LimitBreak S-Craft]] can also lower all the enemy's stats after doing damage.

* AceCustom: His Hector, and his later Hector Form-2, replaces the shoulder cannons with a shield, a spear and extra thrusters, making his machine a Lightning Bruiser. They're also painted black to go along with his nickname.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: A general and one of Erebonia's 5 strongest warriors, who managed to briefly hold off [=McBurn=].

* SinkOrSwimMentor: Becomes this to the Branch campus. She refuses to fight alongside them on their first field study, despite how the school already knows that Ouroboros and elite Jaegers are in the area. She states that if they can't survive this mission, they won't have much of a future anyways.

* UnrealisticBlackHole: His S-Craft, ''Righteous Witness'', ends with a black hole sucking in his enemies after he slashes them apart.

* DeathFromAbove: His ''Thunderous Smite'' Craft has him leap into the air and charge his greatsword with lightning, before slamming down with a powerful downward swing.

* SwordBeam: His ''Swift Storm'' craft has him launch several energy slashes at his enemies by swinging his greatsword.

* DeathFromAbove: Her ''Prismatic Tetra Blade'' crafts has her jumping into the air and then land while stabbing the ground, with a shockwave that engulfs enemies. It's also how she ends her S-Craft.

* FieldOfBlades: Her S-Craft, ''Rakshasa Onslaught'', ends with numerous blades erupting from the ground to impale her enemies.

* {{Nerf}}: Zigzagged. She was nerfed in ''Cold Steel IV'' after her absurdly powerful moment in ''Cold Steel III'' by removing her 100% accuracy so she can actually miss enemies, reduced her critical chances, and her dodge rates. Most of her crafts also have lower damage ratings than before. Not to mention, she's only available for one dungeon and one boss fight [[spoiler:two if the players go to the GoldenEnding route.]] However, her S-Craft damage rating went from 4S to 5S.
** Her Brave Order, ''Golden Aura'', received a slight nerf in ''Reverie'' as it only restores 50 CP, in contrast to how it could resore 80 in the previous games.

* RankScalesWithAsskicking: She holds the rank of [[FourStarBadass general]] and was the commander of the Lamarre Provincial Army and later the Unified Regions Army before becoming principal of the Branch Campus. She's also a MasterSwordsman who mastered ''two'' [[FantasticFightingStyle of Erebonia's most esteemed styles of swordsmanship]] when most characters in the series can only learn one, and is one of the strongest warriors in the entire ''Cold Steel'' saga [[spoiler:which she proves by being able to beat ''Arionrhod'' in a fight (granted she had help and Arianrhod was holding back, but the point stands that she made the WorldsBestWarrior kneel and admit she was stronger than she herself had been as a human)]].

* StatusBuff: Her ''Military Might'' Craft gives a large buff to her STR, ATS, SPD, and also gives her the Brandish buff (which increases the damage of her attacks and Crafts by an additional 20%).

* SwordBeam: Her ''Dynast Sunder'' Craft has her swing her {{BFS}} to launch a golden wave of energy with a ''huge'' line radius that nearly covers the field and has a chance to lower the enemy's STR and ATS stats. Her S-Craft also has her send out 3 before ''dashing ahead of them'' to deliver a few slashes at the enemy.
