History Manhwa / TheLegendOfMaian

*** Even after 1000 years, the Regis Knights remain loyal to Felicia. [[spoiler: Strongly averted for Diha Shion who was ironically the most loyal to Felicia in the beginning.]]

%%* AccidentalHero: Feicia
%%* BadassBookworm: Feicia
* BadassFamily: Except Fenix, the whole family is practically built [[BadAssFamily on this trope]].
** Recently Fenix has been showing signs of Badassery as well. [[spoiler:Now he's gonna have to be Badass, since his all powerful girlfriend is dead.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Fenix and Felicia. [[spoiler: They eventually admit their feelings to each other and consummate their relationship, only for Felicia to be brainwashed.]]
* TheBerserker: Anyone with the Devilshu Curse. [[spoiler: Fenix post-time skip. It's a pretty serious case to, as it apparently doesn't take much to push him into this state. Though whether it is from unresolved grief over what happened to Felicia or his powers being uncontrollable (or a combination of both) is yet to be seen.]]
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Felix got hit ''very'' hard by Felicia's sacrifice. And it's implied that something bad happened to the Regis Knights during the TimeSkip.]]
** [[spoiler: Ruby gets this treatment also as her formerly kind, loving master turns into a {{Jerkass}} who abuses her.]]
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Humans are called Shurian.

* CoDragons: The Regis Knights to Feicia. [[spoiler: The apparent BigBad is one of them, making him a DragonAscendant.]]
** Post time skip, the BigBad has a set of his own now. [[spoiler: Felicia is one of them due to memory loss and brainwashing.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Diha Shion. [[spoiler: Not opposed to using imposters, hostages or poison pills to get his victories.]]
* ClothingDamage: Happens during Felicia's first match during the TournamentArc.
* ChurchMilitant: The church sister Cornelia. Her church taught their nuns how to wield weapons and cast battle spells.
%%* CrutchCharacter: [[spoiler:Felicia]]

* DontTouchItYouIdiot: The seal that kept Feicia a prisoner.

* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler: The present day BigBad was one of Felicia's Knights.]]
* DramaticIrony: Post time skip Lin Light and Meldra are searching for the descendant of Maian the Brave. [[[spoiler: They have actually run into Felix twice in as many days and had to fight him back when he was going into his berserk mood.]]
%%* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Fenix, post TimeSkip.]]
%%* EyesAlwaysShut: Ma Jin
%%* FanService: Surprisingly...
%%* FieryRedhead: Lyna Mia Delta
%%* FirstKiss
* FolkHero: Paiz Maian the Brave.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:Fenix]] when accessing the hidden power.
* HappilyMarried: Lans and Winia, Felix's brother and sister-in-law.
* HeroicLineage: Fenix, but he appears to be weaker than other members of his [[BadAssFamily family]]. His younger brother is a better swordsman and his father leads an army. Fenix is hinted to have a hidden power that defeated Felicia 1000 years ago. [[spoiler: If he does have it, Felicia claims she will try to kill him ]]
** Which has shown itself during volume 6.
* HiddenBuxom: Lin turns out to be a girl. Which is only revealed after her cloak is taken off.
* HotWitch: Felicia, Lyna, and others. Post time skip, Ruby is on her way to being one.
* HumansAreBastards: Pretty much the whole premise, although it could just be said humans are very human centric, and just happen to be the most powerful race so we hurt the most other species. We have not seen the other races acting any better or really at all mostly.
* InvincibleHero: The main characters, except Felix and Ruby, [[spoiler: which is part of what leads to Felicia's demise.]]
* IgnoredEnemy: Oh so many times. Then again there are very few enemies who take them on in a fight.
* JekyllAndHyde: Those who suffer the Devilshu curse are generally nice people until their curse acts up which will make them either very big Jerk asses or full on Berserker.

* KillItWithFire: Felicia tends to do this with her enemies.
* KillSat: [[spoiler: One of Felix's powers. His Ancestor could do it to.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Diha Shion. [[spoiler: He proves to be A LOT more effective than the villains before him. The first time he's confronted by the heroes, they are ''completely'' destroyed. Their defeat has serious repercussions and results in a much darker and depressing tone for the rest of the series.]]

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Felicia becomes one with her apparent death and then brainwashing.]]
* [[LostTechnology Lost Magic]]: The only reason Pennsylvania is a threat is that they have been learning all of Feicia's old magic spells and summons.
* LoveTriangle: Fenix is in love with his brother's wife, she kinda flirts with him, and his brother is well married to her. Then Fenix left that village and the whole thing took background to the plot.

*** [[spoiler:Which has concluded into choosing Felicia... till she died.]]
* MagicKnight: Fenix after the TimeSkip.
* MakingASplash: Ma Jin made quite an entré with a bit of water.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Fenix expected this, most likely because of his family, but Feicia [[http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/Legend-of-Maian/Dredshi/15/8 subverted it.]]
%%* MenDontCry: Oh, Fenix...
%%* MissingMom: Ruby
* NotQuiteDead:[[spoiler: Felicia is serving the BigBad but has no memory of her time with Felix.]]
* NukeEm: [[spoiler: How the BigBad gets rid of Felicia.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: Ruby
** Feicia does not look over 1000 years old either...
*** Try all the Regis Knights, plus Diha Shion.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: To be on the safe side all main characters and villains count, yes even Felix(eventually). For example Lyna is basically a walking nuclear warhead.
** [[spoiler: Funny you should say that. A nuclear explosion is exactly what finally takes out Felicia.]]
* PinballProtagonist: Felix. [[spoiler: Subverted post TimeSkip when he TookALevelInBadass and is now driving the plot forward, as opposed to just following Felicia around.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Another of Feicia's favorite attack methods and the weakness of the monster trees.
** Lyna Mia Delta's and Anna Maise's favorite attacks too.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Felicia often gets this from Felix.
* TheQuietOne: Ma jin

* TheRival: Lyna Mia Delta is stated to be Feicia's rival.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: Lin]]. Lampshaded by the character herself.
--> (slightly embarrassed) "You seriously didn't notice?"
* SealedEvilInACan: Feicia's prison
%%* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend
* ShesAllGrownUp: [[spoiler: Ruby post time skip]]
* ShockAndAwe: Feicia's most common type of attack so far.
* TheSlacker: Fenix
** Lyna too. Though that's more because she simply outclasses everyone around her, including the inhibited Felicia.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Fenix or Felix? And is his brother Lance or Lans?
* SquishyWizard: Feicia, despite her power is pretty weak physically. She's no more stronger than an ordinary woman and even Fenix can take her down.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Felicia's outfit.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Averted. Maian the Brave died in his battle against Felicia, but did not chose to kill her. Instead he sealed her powers.]]
* TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: Uraeshi Soun, clearly visible in the flashback, following the death of Ellina.]]
** And earlier Lyna Mia Delta [[spoiler: upon the death of her husband]]

* TokenMiniMoe: Ruby probable to balance out Feicia.
** Not after the TimeSkip
* TookALevelInBadAss: Felix during the TournamentArc, as in caught a knife to the face. No it didn't hit his face he caught it both hands before it did.
** Felix was actually forced into joining the tournament by Felicia so that he could take this level [[spoiler: and to give Felicia the chance to see if Felix might have inherited the power that defeated her in the past.]]
** Arguably [[spoiler: Ruby for always standing between Felix in his berserk state and potential victims. She doesn't even flinch when she knocked him out with a surprise attack. Compare this to the whiny girl from five years ago.]]
** Felix, post TimeSkip, has become one of the strongest characters in the setting. However, it also came with...
* TookALevelInJerkAss: The years during the TimeSkip were not kind to Felix, turning him into a bitter and jaded {{AntiHero}} with a ''nasty'' temper.
** It's implied that a lot of this is due to [[spoiler: the large amount of unresolved grief he carries due to Felicia's death sometimes causes his powers to go out of control, sending him into berserk rages. It's also implied that something bad happened to the Regis knights he traveled with.]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The old Felix still shines through on occasion.
* TournamentArc: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The sacred fighting tournament]]

* TrueCompanions: Two distinct sets in ancient times. Maian the Brave had Combat Expert Cein Meed, Kaizer Master Ultimate Dragoon Olienne Vishuel, Rand Seiron Mercenary King Diglant Filtnei, and Feil Master Blade Master Demisiren Ian Milicent. Felicia had her Regis Knights as well.
* UndyingLoyalty: Even after 1000 years, the Regis Knights remain loyal to Felicia. [[spoiler: Strongly averted for Diha Shion who was ironically the most loyal to Felicia in the beginning.]]
** Ruby is this to Felix. [[spoiler: She remained loyal to him for 5 years, despite his Devilshu Curse and his {{Jerkass}} abuse of her.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Felix gets called out on his {{Jerkass}} behavior post TimeSkip by the new characters.]]
%%* WhenTreesAttack
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Some of the Regis Knights express angst over having lived for so long.
%%* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Fenix, post TimeSkip.]]
