History Webcomic / Chitra

%%* UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications: {{Lampshaded}} -- [[FourthWallObserver Chitra]] tells Tyrex he better not follow her into the baths or their manwha will get an 18-and-Over rating.

* ThinkOfTheCensors: When Tyrex catches Chitra on her way up to the baths in Chapter 70 he offers to accompany her, complaining that both Radelk and Tornian have been allowed to give her "bath service" (like washing her hair and scrubbing her back). Chitra rebuffs him by telling him he'll [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications raise the rating]] on their manwha if he does that -- not that he has any idea what she's talking about.
--> '''Chitra''': ...if the scene shows me in the bathroom with Tyrex, the age restriction of this manwha will change to 18 and older.

* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: The unnamed protagonist was a normal student in 21st century Korea, studying hard to take the civil service exam and having fun playing mobile games. That all ended when she was run over at a crosswalk, and [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld reincarnated in another world]].

* SoulJar: The handsome men Chitra summons from the God of Beauty's gacha are, technically speaking, as dead as she is. Their souls are bound to marble-like gems, which allows them to return to the living world and serve under her command. She has the option to form a MagicallyBindingContract with her summoned helpers if she consumes their soul gem (literally consuming the gems, by putting the jawbreaker-sized gems in her mouth and accepting the contract that pops up in the SuddenGameInterface window).

* {{Bishonen}}: A cast full of 'em.

* WhipItGood: In Chapter 12, Chitra pulls the 3-star item "Holy Priestess Leather Whip", a magical item that once belonged to the Goddess of Domination. It grants her the ability to buff an ally's stats or decrease an enemy's stats whenever she lands a hit. Despite her initial reluctance to use the item (not wanting to look like a dominatrix and all), Radelk insisted that she learn how to use it if only for self-defense. Several dozen chapters later, her training leads to Chitra becoming proficient at using the whip in limited combat. She also uses its stat-boosting effects [[spoiler: in training/ socializing the feral elvish twins Green and Gray -- gently tapping them with the lash at the end of the whip is enough to impart the ally-buffing effects]].

* {{Geas}}: As part of her effort to reform the corrupt armed forces she gains control of, Chitra has Radelk place a "slave curse" on any member of the guards corp who used his position to steal money or property. If they disobey her orders to return the stolen goods, the curse will cause them immense physical pain. And if they find some way around the curse, she threatens to have them beheaded (like the murderers and rapists she's already dealt with).

* ArchivedArmy: The high-level hunky helpers Chitra draws from the God of Beauty's gacha system are famous warriors, mages, and strategists from the past. It is not made clear how so many historically important figures ended up with their souls and life essence sealed away in magical gems, waiting for the day when a new master would summon them from the gacha system, but there are various [[ArmyOfTheAges average soldiers and tradespeople]] from the past who are also available as prizes.
* ArmyOfTheAges: When Chitra doesn't receive a super-rare, [[ArchivedArmy world renowned warrior, mage, or strategist]] from the gacha system pulls, she gets average soldiers and tradespeople from the past. But "the past" was a time when magic was better understood and more commonly deployed in all facets of life, not just warfare. The "average" archer or architect or farmer from the past was augmented with enhanced speed, stamina, and minor magical abilities that allowed them to heal more quickly from injuries, build faster, or produce more crops.

** '''Fear''': When she first regains control of the armed forces and the kingdom, Chitra sets out to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make an example of]] the criminals who have run rampant in the absence of a governing figure -- rapist and murderers are publicly executed, and the leaders of territories who rebelled or soldiers who defied her orders were beaten within an inch of their life by Radelk.

* FourthWallObserver: When Tyrex catches Chitra on her way up to the baths in Chapter 70 he offers to accompany her, complaining that both Radelk and Tornian have been allowed to give her "bath service" (like washing her hair and scrubbing her back). Chitra rebuffs him by telling him he'll [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications raise the rating]] on their manwha if he does that -- not that he has any idea what she's talking about.
--> '''Chitra''': ...if the scene shows me in the bathroom with Tyrex, the age restriction of this manwha will change to 18 and older.
--> '''Tyrex''': Master, what are you talking about?
--> '''Chitra''': Oh, it's nothing.

* UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications: {{Lampshaded}} -- [[FourthWallObserver Chitra]] tells Tyrex he better not follow her into the baths or their manwha will get an 18-and-Over rating.

%%* HenotheisticSociety:

** '''Authority''': Chitra ''is'' the chosen apostle of the God of Beauty, and the body she inhabits is that of a priest-princess whose family has served the God for generations. When she first asserts her authority, she argues that her divine birthright makes her fit to rule.

** '''Loyalty''': Summoned helpers are automatically loyal to Chitra, doing their utmost to help her succeed and gain power. The summoned helpers she's made {{Magically Binding Contract}}s with are even more loyal because their life is tied to hers -- if she dies, they too will die. Chitra also treats her subjects and summoned helpers better than their previous rulers/ masters did, engendering their loyalty the old-fashioned way.

* MulticoloredHair: Two-Star hero Summoner Polartin has a flippy, purple-on-top pink-on-the-bottom hairdo.

--> '''Phobinus, the God of Beauty''': The reason why I'm hear is to give you a new opportunity -- The chance to live a second life! Of course it's not for free. You'll have to complete tasks given by me in your new life.

** Mite, God of Commerce: A god that takes interest in Chitra once she expands her territory.

** Hakata, God of War: A powerful deity who also takes an interest in Chitra once she defeats a military force sent by his Duke. [[spoiler: The god worshipped by Philbatan.]]

** Hakata, God of War: A powerful deity who also takes an interest in Chitra once she defeats a military force sent by his Duke.

** Dionysus: Patron god of the Empire's royal family. Even his influence is not enough to keep them safe from assassins and sickness.
