History Characters / VermeilInGold

* CuddleBug: Vermeil is ''very'' physically affectionate with Alto, leaning on, hugging, groping, caressing, sitting on his lap, or putting him in hers on a frequent basis. While she does enjoy how it flusters him, it's also made clear that she simply enjoys the contact. While she normally is pleased initiating, it's treated as quite a big deal to her when she requests Alto kiss her instead of the other way around. [[spoiler:Her affectionate behavior around Alto later becomes more serious as her feelings for him grow to the point she even sometimes becomes flustered around him.]]

* AboveTheInfluence: He ''is'' very much attracted to Vermeil, but his moral standards about not wanting anything to ruin their current master/familiar relationship highlight how much of a gentleman he is, no matter how much they engage in their make out sessions. That said, [[spoiler:once they confess genuine romantic love to each other their sessions get quite a bit more passionate.]]

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Being a Demon who had been sealed away for centuries, it was unsure as to whether Vermeil was truly evil or choosing to turn a new leaf after being freed by Alto out of gratitude, or something else entirely. As the story progresses, however, we learn she's a case of the GoodAllAlong trope in that, while Vermeil is a powerful Demon who could go out of control if pushed far enough (and ''was'' pushed too far in the past), she truly cares for Alto and only wants what's best for him. [[spoiler:Her newfound love for Alto can be attributed to her showing she's better than she appears.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: Played with. She unapologetically admits to Alto that she's a very evil Devil who got deservingly sealed inside the book. She doesn't elaborate on what her evil actions were other than that they were "naughty". Her lack of elaboration and lack of desire to do anything all that evil after being freed brings into question just how evil she was, as do the hints of her traumatic past. Eventually, her use of this trope ends up having been mostly an act.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Since she uses magic to hide her non-human features, some people think Vermeil is a mere human and cannot protect Alto, only for her to easily beat them up and their familiars.

* NobleDemon: Both literally and metaphorically. She's a demon aristocrat who makes up for her lack of conventional morality with an equal lack of serious malice and a strong sense of honor and fair play.

** In chapter 20, while initially protesting her presence, after inwardly realizing they are unlikely to have anyone walk in on them Alto ends up inviting Vermeil to stay in the open-air bath with him "just for a little bit". Things inevitably get intimate and the two proceed to make out in the water for so long that Alto overheats.

* InconsistantSpelling: Sharol / Charol / Cheryl.

* InconsistentSpelling:: Kurys (manga) or Chris (Creator/HiDive subs).

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sharol / Charol / Cheryl.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kurys (manga) or Chris (Creator/HiDive subs).

* AmazonianBeauty: While [[MusclesAreMeaningless lacking in extreme musculature]] outside of her more demonic form, Vermeil still looks like she could snap many of the other characters in half. She stands taller than most of the rest of the cast and has enough curvy bulk that her enormous breasts often don't look too out of place.

* CantLiveWithoutYou: As of chapter 9.1 [[spoiler:Vermeil becomes this for him. In order to save his life when she accidentally destroys his heart, Vermeil transfers part of her own and a lot of her essence into his body to restore him. However, his heart is still technically hers, just in a different body. She can eventually return Alto to normal but states it may take decades for her to restore his heart to the point that it no longer needs her mana to function, and until then if she dies, he dies and vice versa.]]

A teacher at the academy, his looks and charisma make him quite popular with the female students. He [spoiler:is soon revealed to actually be working for the group of antagonistic Platinum Squares that Iolite belongs to.]]

* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:When he injects himself with the demonic serum he created from the essence of hundreds of low tier demons, he transforms into a large humanoid with [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes all over his body.]]]]

* StarterVillain: He is the first actively malevolent force the protagonists encounter.

* CurbStompBattle: Upon his first meeting with them he delivers one to Vermeil, Alto and Colonel Franks all at the same time. Even Alto going into a state of UnstoppableRage only makes him bring out his "knight" (a centaur like creature) to incapacitate him with ease, and Vermeil taking on her "serious" form is handled by him summoning up the same sealing chains Obsidian used on her but a ''ton'' more of them so that even she can't hope to break them on her own. The only reason he doesn't simply end things then and there is that he notices something special hidden about Alto that for the time being makes him change his mind about taking Vermeil with him. In the anime things go a bit differently, with him preparing to really fight seriously only to be forced to retreat after his partner Heliodol warns she can no longer keep reinforcements from arriving.

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Even when naked around Alto either in the shower or in bed, the manga explicitly blocks out the naughty parts of her body or just doesn't draw them even when they should be visible.

* GoingCommando: Vermeil doesn't wear any undergarments. Ever.

** In a case of ShamelessFanserviceGirl, she at one point questions why she feels like she sticks out more in the school compared to before despite wearing the same uniform as everyone else, missing that said uniform is quite small on her and can't contain her breasts.

* CleavageWindow: When Vermeil tried to wear the school uniform, she is only able to button the top and bottom buttons, leaving her cleavage completely exposed, effectively combining this trope with NavelDeepNeckline.

* BoobsOfSteel: As a high-ranking demon, she not only has incredible spells at her disposal but is extremely strong physically despite her lack of obvious muscle mass. She is, with little doubt, the strongest woman in the school, able to defeat a small dragon with a simple flick of her fingers, and also has the largest breasts of the female cast. At full strength, she is outright a city-destroying level threat [[spoiler:(something she did at somewhere around 8 years old)]], able to deliver strikes with her fists that edge toward MegatonPunch territory. She was able to cripple the huge body Professor Obsidian had made from hundreds of low-level demons with a single hit while stopping his own attack at the same time and without even transforming. In the anime, Iolite claims Vermeil's true strength is great even among demons, and in the manga, Fatima says something similar.

** She misquotes Alto's "you should only kiss someone you love" as him saying that if you love someone and kiss for that instead of to feed then you can kiss them whenever and wherever you want. Then when Alto protests that interpretation she takes it to mean he must want her to drain his mana via kissing now instead and proceeds to do just that.

** [[spoiler:She destroys Obsidian's demon form in three punches.]]

* OvernightAgeUp: [[spoiler:When she awakened her powers for the first time, her demonic form already resembled an adult woman.]]

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Vermeil's combat powers as a demon are focused squarely on the ability to destroy what she targets (it's revealed that different demons have powers that specialize in different things, Vermeil's is destruction), or everything around her if she is pushed far enough (as happened when she was a child). As she and Alto learn to focus and refine this, the power is explored in a variety of ways. Notably, [[spoiler:she can use it to destroy immaterial things and thus avoid harming the actual body, as when Alto at one point uses power she imbued him with to destroy the contract of a bound demon, freeing them from servitude.]]

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Even though he got his heart crushed by a rampaging Vermeil, he still managed to hold on for several minutes to tell Vermeil he doesn't blame her.]]

* SquishyWizard: His magical power is ''massive'', but he falls a little behind on the physical department. He starts to train with Chris and Jessica in order to correct this.

* BigEater: While she will binge on sweets, if given the opportunity, this mainly applies to her appetite for Alto's "thick, potent" mana. Her appetite for mana would easily kill a normal person if she fed on them, and while Alto doesn't suffer more than fatigue, he does repeatedly point out how much Vermeil likes to drain from him. Notably, he finds the toll from supplying mana to the test flame for the Bronze Square exam to be "nothing" compared to what Vermeil sucks out of him on a regular basis. Thankfully for Alto, she is able to fortify and concentrate the mana she takes from him and give it back with a touch, in turn increasing how much she can drain from him without putting him under too much strain.

* AmazonianBeauty: While [[MusclesAreMeaningless lacking in extreme musculature]] outside of her more demonic form, Vermeil still looks like she could snap any other character in half. She stands taller than the entire rest of the cast and has enough curvy bulk that her enormous breasts don't look out of place.

* SuperMode: Or "serious mode" as it gets called unofficially. Should she be pressed enough she can take on increasingly monstrous forms (larger size, longer horns, heavily distorted skull) to the point that her huge breasts become the only thing recognizably feminine about her.
