* AmbiguouslyGay: While it's generally a NoHuggingNoKissing kind of game, Albus never shows any particular interest in girls, and responds with bewilderment when Camila brings up rumors that he's been using his company to build up a BattleHarem -- while on the other hand, his reaction to Sion [[WhenHeSmiles complementing his smile]] is to [[LuminescentBlush blush]] while stammering nervously.
* BlowYouAway: His ESP Affinity is Wind, allowing him to manipulate air currents to speed up his attacks and fire blasts of compressed air or RazorWind, among other abilities.



* BlueBlood: His family is a high-ranking noble house from the [[TheEmpire Ater Empire]], though Sion himself is semi-estranged from his parents and refuses to touch a cent of their money. It ''does'' explain a few of his more odd quirks, such as his refined food palate and [[SmartPeoplePlayChess chess skills]].



* ObfuscatingStupidity: His fun-loving BigEater persona is ''not'' a front, exactly, but it's also only a shadow of who Sion really is. He's a CulturedBadass with surprising emotional intelligence, always keeps a cool head in battle despite his excitability, and [[spoiler: hides some deep emotional scars from his brother's death]]. He's just generally so BrilliantButLazy it can be easy to forget what he's ''really'' like.



* SmartPeoplePlayChess: One of the early signs that Sion is [[ObfuscatingStupidity not as goofy as he seems]] is his love for chess. He sets up a board in the office after joining the company and plays matches with Albus frequently during their off hours, with idle dialogue indicating that he almost always wins even when he isn't trying.



* ActionFashionista: Struts into combat situations in a pretty dress, fur coat, and plenty of fancy jewelry. All of her unlockable and DLC outfits are similarly glamorous, and she has no trouble kicking ass in any of them.



* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: With the specific exception of her friendship with Jane, she's a big believer in this. She likes and respects Albus a great deal, but largely refuses to show it out of concern that it'll impair their mentor/student relationship, and she occasionally expresses disapproval towards Albus being too chummy with his own subordinates in the company.



* PrimAndProperBun: Always wears her hair in this style while on-duty, highlighting her practical and mission-driven outlook. She only [[LettingHerHairDown lets it down]] when she's at home or off the clock.



* DoAnythingRobot: Mono and Vivi can fire laser beams, provide first aid, create energy shields and decoys out of HardLight, act as camera drones, and more besides, depending on the Protocol abilities Kylie has equipped.



* EleventhHourRanger: Joins the company during the sixth and final main chapter of the story, though he averts LateCharacterSyndrome by joining the party already promoted with a full set of useful masteries. Later averts this trope as well as DLC expansions add more missions as well as expand the playable cast.
* AntiVillain: Works with Carter and abets his more heinous actions throughout most of the story, though he does so out of personal concern for his friend and foster brother rather than any actual malice, and he never personally fights the main characters at any point in the game. He eventually recognizes [[TheUnfettered just how far Carter is willing to go]] and turns on him, though his motives for doing so are hazy at best.
* BlessedWithSuck: Leton is a natural Ice ESP user, giving him the ability to manipulate cold and fire blasts of ice in combat... and straddling him with a "[[PowerIncontinence gift]]" that literally freezes the blood in his veins, requires constant saline injections to stay functional, and will probably cripple or kill him long before he reaches middle age. Leton himself is rather nonchalant and even somewhat philosophical about it, but several other characters express pity for his condition.



* DissonantSerenity: Retains the same chipper, [[PerpetualSmiler constantly-smiling]] persona whether he's beating up criminals or reuniting with old friends. His smile doesn't move a hair even when he [[HeelFaceTurn backstabs Carter]] and informs the latter that the next time they meet, they'll be enemies.



* HazyFeelTurn: He eventually sides with the heroes against Carter's crusade, but his reasons for doing so are kept deliberately vague, even to his Alley siblings. The epilogue of the main story also indicates that he's remaining in contact with the ESP Research Institute, who are themselves very AmbiguouslyEvil.



* PowerStereotypeFlip: Inverts the usual stereotypes with [[AnIcePerson ice wielders]] by being a cheerful and fun-loving DanceBattler. Flashbacks show he ''used'' to be more somber and serious as a teenager, but [[TookALevelInCheerfulness cheered up]] somewhere down the line. It adds to his RedOniBlueOni dynamic with Carter, who's a grim and purpose-driven [[PlayingWithFire fire mage]].



* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Subverted. Leton has long, beautiful white hear and very beautiful facial features, but he is constantly hunched over and his motions have a fluidity that lends them a creepy, inhuman quality.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Doesn't use any weapons during his stint as a GuestStarPartyMember, but his bare-knuckle punches still pack a whallop. Flashbacks indicate he had the same fighting style back when he was an active Troublehshooter.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Helps Albus repel a Spoonist attack on his bar in an early mission. He's notable for being one of the few guest characters to be playable for one mission and ''only'' one.

Anne doesn't meet the qualifications for Tagalong Kid as she actually does contribute effectively to the party.


* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Anne is the youngest member of the team by a decent margin, and the only one who still attends school and lives with her parents. She averts TagalongKid by a country mile and is never unhelpful or incompetent, though [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration she's the only party member who can't drink alcohol at bars]].
* BarrierWarrior: Several of Anne's unlockable abilities allow her to create shields to protect others.
** ''Starlight Prayer'' creates a shield around an ally that can block any amount of damage [[SingleUseShield once]].
** ''Starlight Prison'' locks a target in a field of light that makes them completely invincible for several rounds, at the expense of being unable to act for the same duration.
* BeamSpam: ''Pouring Starlight Arrows'', her unlockable [[LimitBreak Overdrive]], calls down a hailstorm of energy blasts on all nearby enemies. Each individual shot doesn't do much damage, but each hit adds up, and Anne's naturally rapid SP gain makes it a great ability for whittling down crowds.



* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair in two short pigtails, symbolizing her youth and relative inexperience compared to the rest of the team.
* GreenThumb: Has a limited version with her ''Constricting Root'' attack, which summons plant roots to bind enemies in place in a small radius.



* RedMage: One of her promotion options, "Witch", gives her more damage-dealing abilities to balance out her offense and support capabilities.

to:

* LightEmUp: Despite her ESP affinity being listed as [[DishingOutDirt Earth]], the majority of Anne's active abilities are light-based, whether she's calling upon starlight to heal or protect allies or [[BoltOfDivineRetribution smiting enemies with bolts of holy light]].
* LoopholeAbuse: Twofold example early on. While Anne is ''technically'' an apprentice Troubleshooter even before joining Albus' comapny, this is only so she's legally allowed to provide medical support to victims of violent crimes, and she has zero actual combat experience due to the VCPD preventing her from getting involved in fights with gangs until after they're over. After making her personal resolution to get involved on the frontlines of fighting crime, she's able to use her junior Troubleshooter license to join Albus' company despite her status as a minor otherwise meaning she wouldn't be able to.
* MagikarpPower:
** Anne can be difficult to use on initial recruitment, as aside from healing she doesn't have much combat presence, and her [[SquishyWizard squishiness]] and lack of mobility can make it hard to keep her alive in intense fights. It's not until class promotion that she really starts to unlock some powerful abilities (along with better overall stats) that let her contribute in battle more effectively.
** Her White Magic class promotion has an additional layer of this with a side helping of GuideDangIt. While said promotion learns many useful abilities, its strongest mastery sets also require Priest masteries, which can't be naturally unlocked by the player and are only naturally dropped by a scant few enemies in the game, requiring research and grinding to unlock Anne's full potential.
* RedMage: One of her promotion options, "Witch", Witch, gives her more damage-dealing abilities to balance out her offense and support capabilities.



* TagalongKid: Anne's the only potential member of the team that is too young to order alcohol at "Silverlining".

to:

* TagalongKid: StarPower: Several of her abilities are themed around calling upon starlight to heal or attack.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: {{Implied}}. She wears a fox-tail charm that's suggested to have some kind of spiritual significance, and several of her battle quotes carry religious implications (such as describing her actions as a "divine punishment" after knocking out an enemy). Despite this, she never actively discusses religion in any other capacity.
* TripleShifter: Working as a Troubleshooter and spending her nights fighting in bloody gang wars doesn't spare her from the CompulsorySchoolAge. While it's not a major part of
Anne's the only potential member of the team characterization, she mentions studying for tests in a few dialogues, and some late-game cutscenes mention that is too young she's been prioritizing being a Troubleshooter over school, causing her grades to order alcohol at "Silverlining".slip.




to:

* WhiteMagicianGirl: Poster example for this trope. She's a demure, kind, and feminine young woman, serves as the team's [[TheMedic primary healer]], and while not quite emotionally mature enough to be the TeamMom, shows a caring and nurturing side towards everyone she meets.

to:

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to her Girly Girl best friend Giselle. Jane is a no-nonsense cop who usually wears fatigues and no makeup, whereas Giselle wears minidresses and stiletto heels and immaculate makeup. Subverted when Giselle and Jane hang out outside of work, when Jane's appearance and demeanor are, if anything, even more femme than Giselle's.

Added DiffLines:

* FlashStep: ''Windwalk'' allows him to dash a short distance in a burst of wind, ignoring enemy engagement and any intervening hazards or elevation.
* FragileSpeedster: Albus is fast, hits relatively hard, and has naturally high Block and Dodge rates that his equipment and masteries can amplify even further -- but on the flip side, his defenses and HP are surprisingly low for being TheHero, meaning he generally relies on avoiding and outmaneuvering enemy attacks over tanking them outright.


Added DiffLines:

* CoolBigSis: Grows into this for Anne after the latter joins the team. She vows to look out for the younger girl during battles, and walks her home every day [[spoiler: after the Spoonists and gangs [[CopKiller start targeting Troubleshooters]].]]

* TheLancer: As Albus' partner from the start, he's frequently involved in important events. He is also more laid-back, friendly and energetic than his duty-driven, socially awkward and stoic boss.
