| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: Aultcray from ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' was a serious threat to Naofumi for his IrrationalHatred and for always making many attempts to hinder Naofumi's journey as a hero. In ''Fanfic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Aultcray's idiocy is more obvious to be spotted by his close advisors and his daughter, Malty, leading to Aultcray making himself a fool to them. Whenever Aultcray makes his attempts to hinder Naofumi from continuing his adventures as a hero, Aultcray is taken less seriously for being highly likely to fail in his attempts or for coming up with absurd reasons that Naofumi is plotting to hurt Malty. |
| 17 | %%* AdaptationalSympathy: |
| 18 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Downplayed. During the early chapters, his character remains similar to his canon counterpart, except for a few key differences that makes him more evil and petty. |
| 19 | ** In the original FalseRapeAccusation trial of Naofumi, it was left as an AmbiguousSituation on whether it was Princess Malty who instigated it or King Aultcray. Here, its confirmed that King Aultcray is the one and only that is initiating the trial, and is desperately goading his daughter, Malty, into siding with him. |
| 20 | ** The fight between the Spear Hero and the Shield Hero happens the same, just like in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', but a key difference is Malty's presence. In the original story, Malty had King Aultcray's favor and was implied to have been working together to set up Naofumi into losing his slave, Raphtalia. Here, King Aultcray is the one wanting to make it happen, despite hindering his daughter, Malty, from achieving her goals and her Naofumi. |
| 21 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Downplayed. With Malty, Aultcray treats her as a loving, innocent daughter he can trust, similarly like in canon. However, the difference comes from how genuine their relationship is, as Ambition!Malty has fond memories of their time together, despite Aultcray eventually losing his wisdom from his emotional fragility. As for Canon!Malty, she only views her father as a pawn and after killing Mirellia, she disowns him and their relationship shifts to viewing each other as enemies. |
| 22 | ** From the canon portrayal of Mirellia, she and Aultcray had a stable relationship but it broke from the latter's idiocy to actively ruin the Shield Hero's achievements. Here, their relationship is strained from Mirellia's decision to send Malty to the King of Faubley and their relationship mainly happened because Aultcray just so happened to be a legendary hero. |
| 23 | * BanOnMagic: By Melromarc standards, it is seen as profane for anyone to use BloodMagic like the demi-humans from Siltvelt. But being desperate to save Malty at all cost from a goddess in chapter 94, Aultcray forgoes those supposed standards to have the strength to protect his daughter. |
| 24 | * BladeLock: He uses his staff wand to block off the blade of Lautrec's goddess from striking Malty in chapter 94. |
| 25 | * BloodMagic: To cast a spell strong enough to keep Malty safe from the goddess that is after her death in chapter 94, Aultcray uses his blood to gather the strength to use his want in performing a BladeLock on the goddess' sword. Aultcray then uses his remaining strength to transfer his wand onto Malty as the new owner. |
| 26 | * BoyfriendBlockingDad: |
| 27 | ** To the people Aultcray had arranged to court Malty, it can be implied that he threatened them with unimaginable pain if they ever hurt her, as noted by a similar experience of Jaune in chapter 79. |
| 28 | ** To Naofumi, Aultcray's motive to bring him down is partly to ensure Malty is safe, due to distrust of the Shield Hero and the potential brainwashing ability, even though Naofumi lacks the power to possess it. |
| 29 | * DotingParent: To Malty and Melty, he always dotes on them believing that they always stay the same innocent children. Deconstructed with Malty, as Aultcray's overprotective care for her means that he isn't able to trust Naofumi into protecting her, resulting in Aultcray actively sabotaging Naofumi's efforts, despite it being a hinderance to Malty's goals in life. |
| 30 | * EngineeredHeroics: Although Aultcray does not state out loud his full reasons to frame Naofumi of rape in chapter 2, part of the motive to do so is that with Naofumi seen as a rapist from the worlds view, and himself being the one that spares him, despite the Melromarc laws to kill all sexual related matters on women, Aultcray can look like a hero that is plausibly noble. |
| 31 | * ExactWords: To make himself look like a fair king to the Phoenix Prince, Aultcray twists his wording of the two trials he gave to Naofumi. To the FalseRapeAccusation, Aultcray blames a possible foreign country to pin the blame on Kael-thas and for the second trial, Aultcray frames Naofumi's inaction to fight the boss monster of the second way as the latter ignoring his heroic duties. In reality, Naofumi had actually spent his time protecting the commoners, while Aultcray uses it as an excuse for MaliciousSlander. |
| 32 | * FeigningIntelligence: To maintain the reputation that he is still the same wise king as he was in the past, he maintains a regal posture and will rub his beard when he does intense thinking. In reality, he is not as smart as he think he is and as noted by Aldrecht, King Aultcray is a highly emotional individual that is only capable of making short-sighted plans. |
| 33 | * ForcedSleep: Despite healing from his coma, Aultcray is put into that state indefinitely, since Cromwell does not want his presence to interfere with his rule in the Three Heroes Church. |
| 34 | * GoSeduceMyArchnemesis: His plan to frame Naofumi of rape is to first have the latter gain Malty in disguise of Mein of Samphor as his companion. After Mein spends with Naofumi for a day, Aultcray plans for Malty to be picked up by guards and to implant false evidence to give the impression that Mein was raped. Unfortunately for Aultcray, it doesn't go as planned, since Malty instead chose to save Naofumi from his trial. |
| 35 | * HeroicRROD: Using BloodMagic to give himself to strength to bounce away the goddess trying to kill Malty and offering his sword to the latter, Aultcray passes out from exhausting his body. |
| 36 | * HeroicSacrifice: He gives his life [[TakeUpMySword and weapon away]] for Malty to have a chance to get away from Lautrec's goddess who is desperate to have her killed. |
| 37 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: As revealed in Marquis' thoughts in chapter 104's omake, Aultcray is seen by nobles as an idiot that got his eldest daughter sold to King Egbert for looking to be raiding Faubley. But to Douglas and the commoners of Melromarc, Aultcray is hailed as a great hero for stopping the Wailing Death and Douglas personally sees him as a desperate father driven to paranoia to keep his family safe. |
| 38 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: As part of his DotingParent characteristics, he believes Melty and Malty to be [[ChildrenAreInnocent innocent children]] that will never change and will always need his protection for their whole lives. However, while it may apply to Melty, Malty is an adult with her own ambitions to become queen, which makes her not interested in framing Naofumi for rape, compared to Aultcray doing so for petty revenge. |
| 39 | * HypocriteHasAPoint: He has been embarrassing himself in his many futile attempts to defame or increase the difficulty of the Shield Hero's adventures. When watching Lord Noches make a scene of his worries to Bertia in chapter 83 for the latter being near the Life Root, Aultcray of all people is the one that calls out Lord Noches at creating unnecessary drama. |
| 40 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: In chapter 83, Aultcray makes the decision to willingly entrust Motoyasu to have Melty be in his party. As a consequence of the allowance, Aultcray warns Motoyasu of a horrible torture method that will be used against him if Melty is harmed. |
| 41 | * LethallyStupid: As well-intentioned as he may be towards his family and Melromarc, the plans and actions he does mostly serve to further endanger or hinger their progress. |
| 42 | ** By summoning the Shield Hero and intending to find the best possibilities to make his life hard, Aultcray is potentially angering the Siltvelt nation into starting a war against Melromarc. |
| 43 | %%** He unknowingly got Malty's fate changed into becoming the wife of King Egbert, because of a foolish decision to attack Faubley, while Melromarc was in no shape to be ready to fight. |
| 44 | * KnockoutGas: As a way to be kept in his comatose condition by the Three Heroes Church, Aultcray is discovered in chapter 135 to have his room be filled with toxic levels of Night's Bloom. |
| 45 | * LoveMakesYouCrazy: A platonic example. Towards loving his family, their endangerment and the reminding of what happened to Henrietta and Marianne is what causes his SanitySlippage into being ImproperlyParanoid to protect his current family at all costs. |
| 46 | * MaliciousSlander: To Naofumi not fighting the second wave monster boss, Aultcray uses the information as a potential leverage to Kael'thas that Naofumi had ignored his heroic duties. In reality, Naofumi was using his time to protect the commoners of Lute Village. |
| 47 | * MyGreatestFailure: In the past, Aultcray had a daughter named Henrietta and he cared for her deeply, even wishing that he stayed as a commoner instead of a king. After the death of Henrietta in the hands of the demi-humans from Siltvelt, Aultcray became much more protective to Malty and Melty, actively trying to do his best to protect them from anything potentially dangerous. Although protective to his family, Aultcray's his own overprotective care for them can cause him to make foolish decisions that end up being a detriment to Malty, the Shield Hero, and the nobles who can see his diminishing wisdom. |
| 48 | * NervousTics: Whenever Aultcray is thinking up of a plan or is feeling nervous of particular responses, he will use his hands to stroke his beard to think deeply. |
| 49 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Upon being introduced to readers, Aultcray appears as though he is a HarmlessVillain that is desperately trying to find a way to ruin Naofumi's reputation as a rapist, but since his plan involves needing his daughter, Malty, and the latter lacks interest in following the plan, Aultcray doesn't succeed. After the attempt to accuse Naofumi of rape, he ends up looking like an idiot trying to find convoluted conclusions as to why Malty would side with the Shield Hero. Eventually, Aultcray establishes himself as a genuine threat to Naofumi and to an extent, Malty, when he chooses to orchestrate a situation for Naofumi to lose his slaves. |
| 50 | * ShipperOnDeck: To desperately save Malty's fate to marry King Egbert, Aultcray had her court lots of scions from rich and powerful families in Melromarc, but all the relationships could not work with Malty. |
| 51 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: Though his mind has deteriorated from the stress of Henrietta's death and the paranoia of what the Shield Hero is doing with Malty, Aultcray has enough focus to beat Aldrecht in a chess match at chapter 13, proving that Aultcray is just as smart as he was in his youth, but has too many distractions to think clearly. |
| 52 | * SmugSnake: He believes himself to be a smart king capable of making tactical plans like from what he used to be, but [[LethallyStupid a majority of the actions he had taken has mostly resulted the situation becoming worse for most individuals in Melromarc.]] |
| 53 | * SpannerInTheWorks: He ends up getting in the way of Malty's plan to become queen by purposely sabotaging the Shield Hero's slaves, despite Malty working to help him become the best hero for Melromarc. Aultcray does so under the delusional belief that he is saving Malty from the Shield Hero's brainwashing, but all he really does is waste his time scheming for petty revenge to force the Shield Hero into a duel against Motoyasu. |
| 54 | * SuddenlyShouting: In chapter 22, Aultcray is informed by Pope Balmus of Malty receiving injuries from a Hell Hound. At first, Aultcray acts composed to analyze how bad the injury was, but once he learns of the severity from Pope Balmus, Aultcray bursts in a fury of rage to murder Naofumi for failing to protect his daughter. |
| 55 | * TakeUpMySword: Aultcray surrenders his status as the Vassal Wand Hero for Malty's safety from a goddess out to kill her in chapter 94 and to keep his wand away from the Three Heroes Church potentially gaining too much power for themselves. |

| 63 | ---- |
| 64 | * AbusiveParents: In the case of Malty, Mirellia never smiled to any of her achievements that were made during Malty's childhood days. At the exchange of Mein's recent death, Mirellia's solution to deal with Malty's grief was to scare her into fighting a monster while the latter was not mentally prepared. The resulting consequences was that Malty had an AccidentalMurder of her nanny and was stripped as the crowned princess out of the belief that Malty was trying to defy her. To make Malty's life even harsher, Mirellia made an agreement to [[SerialRapist King Egbert]] for Malty to become his wife as an exchange to stop Faubley into going at a war. |
| 65 | %%* AccidentalHero: |
| 66 | %%* AdaptationVillainy: |
| 67 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Despite being seen to be an excellent political player, the real reason she managed to gain such a reputation for herself in the game of thrones is her willingness to betray the most loyal of her servants, subjects, and even family members, all just so Melromarc is left flourishing in her eyes. |
| 68 | * DotingParent: At Melty, Mirellia is always showering her with love and praise for being a perfect princess, unlike the harsh treatment [[AbusiveParents Malty received for most of her life]]. To assist Melty in having the easiest chances of becoming a princess, Mirellia has taken her to academic studies and trained her at a proper age to kill weak monsters. |
| 69 | * EmptyPromise: He makes a promise to Marquis Douglas Ibil Noches that she will find a way to cure his wife, but the neutral face Mirellia displays shows from his perspective highly implies that Mirellia has no interest in saving Douglas' wife and the main focus is used on saving the lives of her political allies. |
| 70 | * FalseReassurance: |
| 71 | ** To deliver the bad news that she won't be helping Douglas' wife in the past of the chapter 104 omake, Mirellia admits that she is focused on caring for the sick populace of Melromarc and doesn't have time for his wife. This is despite Mirellia secretly keeping from him that she does have herbs that can prolong the survival of those infected with the Wailing Death and brought the herbs for Lord Luigi's father. |
| 72 | ** Implied. With no one on Melromarc to do any political plays, as King Aultcray is in a coma, Melty is in a rescue with the Three Heroes, and Malty being on a run with Naofumi, is implied to be the one who suggesting for a family member of House De Gallia to be given to her. While the words phrased was to have a member of House De Gallia to be fostered, it's clear in chapter 136 that the real reason is for the person to be exchanged for political play. |
| 73 | * ForYourOwnGood: Mirellia's decision to force Malty into killing a rabbit monster at the latter's childhood is out of a misguided belief that Malty needs to get stronger as soon as possible to defend herself and any allies. However, it the decision fails to work as it is intended, since Malty was too burdened by the death of Mein to properly kill the rabbit monster and instead made an AccidentalMurder of her nanny. |
| 74 | * HarmfulToMinors: She has Malty at her youth to kill a rabbit pill, despite Malty being mentally unprepared from having lost Mein just a day ago. The result was that Malty's pressurized state made her cast an unstable and inaccurate fireball that had accidentally murdered her nearby nanny. |
| 75 | %%* LetsHaveAnotherBaby: |
| 76 | %%* MisplacedRetribution: |
| 77 | * {{Nepotism}}: The reason as to why she isn't willing to hand over any Ruona Herbs to Douglas in chapter 104's omake is because while the latter is deeply loyal to her, Mirellia is more interested in assisting her more powerful political ally, House Claes, in their time of need and since Lord Luigi is a friend of hers. |
| 78 | * ParentalFavoritism: Towards Melty, Mirellia always chooses to dote on her as the favorite child, and makes a hard effort in teaching her the knowledge needed to become queen. On the other hand for Malty, Mirellia tries to find ways to hinder her from finding possible options to become queen, such as limiting Malty's education and reaffirming her deserved role to be betrothed for King Egbert. |
| 79 | %%* ParentalHypocrisy: |
| 80 | * PsychologicalProjection: Implied. Based on what King Egbert had said towards her in chapter 136, a major reason she had no intentions of allowing Malty to become the next queen of Melromarc was because she felt herself and Malty to be too similar to be deserving of such a valuable title. To Melty, who lacks the same personality traits as Malty, Mirellia preferred Melty more, all because the latter did not remind her of her own personality. |
| 81 | -->'''King Egbert:''' Let's not mince our words here, my dear Cousin Millie. Malty was never your chosen heir, because you wanted to raise someone more like your sister, not yourself to take the throne. And despite her likeness to you, we both know Malty is nothing more than a pale imitation of you. But that's the main problem in our hands, isn't it? |
| 82 | %%* TheScapegoat: To House Whiterun. |
| 83 | * SelfServingMemory: From her point of view and a few maidens like with Anne, Mirellia's interpretation of Malty killing her nanny looks to be an act of defiance in refusing to obey her demands to kill the rabbit pill. The truth to Malty was that she was too panic-stricken to properly aim her fire attack and murdering her nanny was an accident. |
| 84 | * TheStoic: While she acts like a loving mother to Melty, Mirellia wears a stone-cold look in political games to intimidate other players, and to come off as a person of intellect that should not be messed with. |
| 85 | * SuddenlyShouting: Being pushed past her TranquilFury by Egbert bringing a mention of Lianne and Greta, Mirellia shouts at him for being so casual in mentioning the people that harbor importance in her life. |
| 86 | -->'''Mirellia:''' You have no right speaking of them in this manner. |
| 87 | * TranquilFury: Despite acting as TheStoic that shows minimal emotions during her talk with King Egbert in chapter 136, Mirellia's tone of voice is left seething with rage from hearing King Egbert's vendetta towards Aultcray and the possibility he may want to prepare another political exchange. |

| 94 | [[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melty_anime.png]] |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: From the canon series, the worst events Melty had to experience was her life being put in danger by Malty and Idol Rabier wanting to kill her for their own personal pettiness. Despite the cruelty she had to face, Melty remains relatively innocent and cheerful, because of Naofumi and his party being always by her side. As of ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Melty is left dealing with a more difficult life by being kept a hostage of the Three Heroes Church, and getting fed false information about reality. Even when the Three Heroes rescue her, Melty is left in a catatonic state having to comprehend the real truth, after so many lies were fed to her. |
| 97 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: With Raphtalia from the original series, Melty and her stayed mostly stayed as friends at assisting Naofumi in his missions. Though at times, Raphtalia will act as a ClingyJealousGirl if Melty were to act demanding in wanting Naofumi to pay attention or give more respect to her. For this fanfic, Melty has a SiblingRivalry towards Raphtalia and has feelings of envy for the latter getting to have Malty as a big sister. |
| 98 | * AgeLift: Downplayed. Melty in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' is around 10 years old, and she is about a year or two older in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'' ahead of her original age in canon. |
| 99 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Besides Melty taking away Malty's birthright that could have allowed her to become queen, there are other traits of Melty that Malty despises. Melty's naivety and cheerful optimism can grind Malty's gears, as children's lack of awareness means they are not prepared to look for the dangers ahead. |
| 100 | ** Malty was once alone in her room and had the privacy to read her romance novels, but due to Melty not knowing what privacy is, Malty is forced to share her book with Melty and isn't able to enjoy her day. |
| 101 | * AwfulTruth: Spending her time alone with the Three Heroes Church, she is led to believe that Naofumi is the Shield Demon that brainwashed Malty into his side. Once hit with the real truth in chapter 135 by Ren explaining the Three Heroes Church to be the source of everyone's suffering, Melty is left experiencing a breakdown questioning if [[BrokenPedestal Pope Balmus is someone she can still continue trusting]]. |
| 102 | * BigSisterWorship: As much as Malty secretly despises Melty, the latter frequently offers praises for Malty looking as a great sister for always taking the time to spend time, despite disliking the option. |
| 103 | * BlowingARaspberry: Played for Laughs. As a goodbye to Raphtalia in chapter 81, Melty blows her tongue out at her to declare a SiblingRivalry to be one that is most favored by Malty. |
| 104 | * BrokenPedestal: Towards Pope Balmus, she once regarded him greatly for being the one that baptized her since she was a baby, but finding out his secrecy behind the horrible actions of the Three Heroes Church, as told by Ren in chapter 135, Melty has a FreakOut questioning if she's been lied to for her whole life. |
| 105 | %%* ChildrenAreInnocent: |
| 106 | * DamselInDistress: Since the expanding rule of the Three Heroes Church, Melty has been taken under their care with the implications of some members and nobles plotting to turn her into a PuppetKing they can exploit to extend their political power in Melromarc. For the Three Heroes and their allies, they are determined to save her from the cruel fate, resulting the interludes focusing on possible options they could pursue to rescue her. |
| 107 | * DemotedToExtra: In the canon story, Melty had a role in the Shield Hero's party for being a GuestStarPartyMember and stayed with him to get protection from Malty wanting to kill her. Here, Melty never joins the Shield Hero, due to Malty warning her of the danger of the waves and Melty is more of a character that is mentioned in Malty's mind. |
| 108 | * DitzyGenius: She excels in many of her school studies and is known for having memorized the history of Melromarc by the text of a history book. Although Melty is brilliant at being obedient to her parents and for being a princess believed to be better than Malty, Melty is a ShelteredAristocrat with no experience on how she can navigate her life. |
| 109 | ** In an attempt to attach her self to the Shield Hero in chapter 54, she is unable to understand she is in danger when a hooded figure dragged her alone into a forest, before the figure reveals her self to be Malty. |
| 110 | * FreakOut: For her time of indoctrination within the Three Heroes Church, she was led to believe Naofumi brainwashed Malty to be on his side. Once revealed the AwfulTruth of how the events really played out and the crimes the Three Heroes Church had done, Melty is put into shock questioning if the people she trusts have been lying to her for life. |
| 111 | * HealItWithWater: She uses her water magic in chapter 91 to cool down Malty's lightheadedness from an explosion of a fish monster. |
| 112 | * InnocenceLost: Her personality consists of being a cheerful child oblivious to the lies that remain rampant in the game of thrones, so when given false information by the Three Heroes Church slandering Naofumi to be the Shield Demon, she easily believes it. However, once given the AwfulTruth by Ren in chapter 135, Melty's reality of the people she can trust shatters with shock, until [[PressurePoint getting knocked out]] to stop being further distressed. |
| 113 | * IRejectYourReality: Justified. Being a twelve year old child and forced to stay at the indoctrination of the Three Heroes Church, Melty is left brainwashed with lies into believing that Naofumi is the Shield Demon holding Malty as a brainwashed servant. Though Melty is eventually rescued by the Three Heroes in chapter 135, the revelation of how the real events occurred breaks her mind into a FreakOut, forcing Hayate to knock her out to prevent any further panic. |
| 114 | * JerkassToOne: Usually, Melty is an optimistically naïve NiceGirl that treats everyone with respect, despite showing a bit of her childish side. To Raphtalia, however, Melty views her as a rival that is challenging her for Malty's position as the latter's younger sister and is fueled by jealousy. |
| 115 | * KillSteal: Exploited. She got herself stronger levels by killing monsters that have been captured by knights and the monsters themselves are weakened to a point that all Melty needs to do is to kill them. |
| 116 | * LooseLips: Whenever she is addressing Malty, Melty is sure to call her as "Big Sister". Despite Malty wanting to be known and keeping her princess identity low as Mein of Samphor, Melty is insistent in calling her as Big Sister. |
| 117 | * MythologyGag: Played for Drama. Back in the canon series, common rumors spread by the Three Heroes Church and Malty was that Naofumi was the Shield Demon who is keeping Princess Melty as a brainwashed hostage to follow him. Into ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', the playout of the event is inverted with Melty being lied by the Three Heroes Church claiming that Naofumi had brainwashed Malty to his side with the goal to cause violent rebellions. |
| 118 | * OhCrap: Seeing Malty's scar on her face, Melty's initial cheerfulness towards her disappears and is replaced by horror under the impression the Shield Hero had hurt Malty. Through Melty's horror, Malty uses it as an excuse to drive Melty from joining the Shield Hero. |
| 119 | * PaperThinDisguise: Since joining Motoyasu's party in chapter 83, Melty fails to consider the necessary things she needs to disguise her princess status to prevent any potential enemies from harming her. For what causes her disguise to fall apart is that she uses her princess-like manners in situations that shouldn't be applied to as shown in chapter 86. |
| 120 | * PleaseWakeUp: She walks up to her father's motionless body in chapter 95 and is in denial as to the person that left him for dead. |
| 121 | * PutOnABus: Though she was given allowance by her father to become an official team member of Motoyasu, Melty is left in the clutches of the Three Heroes Church, and eventually in Lady Ethnia's hands, which prevents Melty from interacting with the main plot of the story to personally handle the Three Heroes Church. |
| 122 | * ReplacementGoldfish: In response to Malty wanting to look for Raphtalia in chapter 91, after their separation from a wave monster's explosion, Melty explains her jealousy to Malty over not wanting to get replaced as a sister for Raphtalia. |
| 123 | * RoyaltySuperpower: Being the Crown Princess that is given the ability known as the [Voice of the old kingdoms] by being related to the Melromarc family, Melty has the ability to amplify her voice into having commanding echoes. |
| 124 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Most of her intelligence rely on her being the best princess she can be as a way to be better than her sister, Malty, but away from the castle and on the woods, Melty needs the assistance of her guards to be protected. Without the guards, Melty can be easily led astray by dangerous strangers or deadly monsters, as Malty had warned her in chapter 54. |
| 125 | * SkewedPriorities: Even after a wave is happening between herself and Malty, Melty chooses to pout in her face on whether she is getting replaced by Raphtalia in chapter 91. |
| 126 | * SiblingRivalry: In chapter 81, hearing that Raphtalia views Mein as her big sister, Melty accuses Raphtalia of stealing Malty away from her as her own big sister. |
| 127 | * SiblingTeam: Invoked and Defied. Once she finds out that her sister, Malty, is alongside the Shield Hero's party, Melty is given greater reasons to join up the Shield Hero, while also having the additional benefit of having Malty on her side. However, due to Malty not wanting to share her hero with her sister and to eliminate competition to be queen, Malty gives Melty a JacobMarleyWarning to scare her away. |
| 128 | * StrongButUnskilled: She gained lots of levels by doing lots of KillSteal onto captured monsters, but while she may be strong in terms of levels, Melty lacks actual combat experience to defend herself. |
| 129 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: In chapter 83, she gets an official allowance by her father, Aultcray, to become a permanent team member of the Spear Hero as a way to get protection from potential assassination attempts. Contrast to the canon of ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', where Melty only stays as a GuestStarPartyMember for Naofumi's party. |
| 130 | * ThemeTwinNaming: Her name as Melty is only one vowel after the "a" in Malty's name to show the former as the younger sister. |
| 131 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Her RoyaltySuperpower granted to her by being part of the Melromarc family gives her voice an echoing undertone, as so she is able to more easily draw the attention of those around her. |
| 132 | * WideEyedIdealist: She is noted to be good natured at heart, making her a likable princess, but is so good natured that she ends up being naïve in the presence of danger to play the game to become queen. |

| 192 | * FlashStep: She dashes in the blink of an eye towards two squatters and performs a NeckSnap, killing them so quickly before Mein could properly react to what had happened in chapter 120. |
| 193 | * HeroicRROD: Putting in all her stamina and SuperStrength to stop the Melromarc castle door from closing in on Mein, Naofumi, and Oersted, Mala collapses to the ground afterwards for the strain she had to put onto her body. |
| 194 | * HiddenDepths: As a maid, her past life as the Strongest Tiger is kept a secret from Malty, since Mala is only known to the former as a commoner maid serving her.

| 195 | * MistakenEthnicity: Malty thinks of her as a human commoner of Melromarc that serves her as a personal maid, until chapter 120 reveals Miss Mala to be a demi-human from Siltvelt that had been hiding her real ethnicity from Malty all along. |

| 199 | * ResolvedNoodleIncident: She was known as Mala the Strongest Tiger back in the Great War, and had gotten into a personal fight with Roger of Ajax. However, because of Roger's brief dialog exchange with her in chapter 119, their past battle against each other is not fully elaborated on, until the next chapter. By chapter 120, Mala is revealed to be a demi-human from Siltvelt that left her nation in servitude for her love towards King Aultcray, thereby leading to her employment at Malty's personal main. |
| 200 | * ShootEverythingThatMoves: To calm down Naofumi's accusations that of her quick actions to kill two squatters, before letting them have a chance to even understand who they are, Mala justifies her actions to kill any strangers seen as a necessary step, since they are all too desperate trying to survive the Three Heroes Church to have time showing mercy. |
| 201 | * SomeoneHasToDie: She volunteers in having herself be a potential victim that could get killed being an EscortDistraction to lead the Three Heroes Church members away from her group in chapter 120, but is stopped from doing do by Uranus wanting himself to be the volunteer instead, out of the belief he sees himself as [[MoreExpendableThanYou more expendable]]. |
| 202 | * SubordinateExcuse: Despite the problems and stress she has to deal with in stabilizing Malty's desired life as a princess, Mala works at her best to be a servant always ready to cater Malty's need. |
| 203 | * SuperStrength: Her reputation as the Strongest Tiger of her demi-human species' generation has made her known for having lots of physical strength to do heavy lighting. Coming in chapter 120, Mala's strength is put to test by being able to hold up Melromarc's castle gate that is designed to withstand the strength of the prestigious leveled. |
| 204 | * TomatoInTheMirror: For so long in Malty's life, Mala was thought of a commoner that was elevated to have become her personal maid, leading to the former to not pay attention on what Mala's background was like.

| 212 | * AlasPoorVillain: Downplayed. Not a villain, but he was an antagonistic force that threatened to steal the Orb of Power from the Shield Hero's party and the Church expedition. When Malty gets DrunkOnTheDarkSide from absorbing the power of the Seatto heirloom, Aldrecht does a desperate attempt to stop her at the cost of his life. While he succeeded, Aldrecht ended up dying to the crumbling ceilings of the cave, causing Malty to feel guilty towards his death. |

| 216 | * BrutalHonesty: Towards Malty's studies, he has never held back his criticisms on her and only criticizes her as a way to improve her learning. |
| 217 | * DyingAlone: As the insides of Boletaria Castle crumble around everyone, he stays behind inside of the castle to stabilize the building as best as he can. Once everyone is able to escape safely, Aldrecht is buried in the rubble with no one to be by his side. |
| 218 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: |
| 219 | ** Despite Princess Malty's claims to eventually betray the Shield Hero and her supposed nice attitude towards Aultcray, Aldrecht can tell how Malty operates her life. From the shadows, Aldrecht is aware of how spoiled she is and whatever [[BitchInSheepsClothing nice façade she puts up]], it's usually to convince people to side with her. |
| 220 | ** To King Aultcray, while the latter may try his best to present himself as a wise person, Aldrecht is aware of how gullible he can be from his emotional impulses towards close individuals. |
| 221 | * HoldTheLine: He stays inside the underground of Boletaria Castle to buy time for everyone to escape before the entire structure collapses on them. Aldrecht succeeds in doing so, but at the cost of his own life. |

| 224 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Since Malty was a child, Aldrecht was her favorite teacher and the main one that taught her the basic lessons to control her fire magic. Later in chapter 77, they face down in an underground cave and Aldrecht is desperately doing her best to calm down Malty of the power that is controlling her mind by reminding her of the first basic lesson of magic. Aldrecht succeeds in warning her of the consequences, when she lacks the air to continue creating fire, but the damage done inside the cave collapses and kills Aldrecht. With Aldrecht dead, Malty can only blame herself for getting her teacher killed for losing her own mind at the Orb of Power. |
| 225 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: To the mistakes Malty makes in his class, Aldrecht would point out her mistakes in complete detail and be honest about it. However, when confronting Malty for being ungrateful towards her father, Aultcray's, love in chapter 56, he slaps her face. Aldrecht's behavior was noted to be unusual by Malty, as CorporalPunishment was not something he believed in. |
| 226 | * SacrificialLion: Serving as a major mentor to Malty and being a recurring character that has two major encounters with Naofumi's party, Aldrecht's death acts as a major consequence for Malty's actions. With Malty being DrunkOnTheDarkSide of power, Aldrecht's death shows her to be more careful of her magic control and question how her goal to become queen of Melromarc will return to hurt her own supporters and allies. |

| 230 | * SpottingTheThread: Knowing that Malty is an adult who can make her own decisions, Aldrecht deduces that she must have chosen the Shield Hero from the FalseRapeAccusation on the belief that he provides her the best chance at claiming the throne of Melromarc. |
| 231 | * SternTeacher: As Malty's childhood teacher, Aldrecht is more than willing to point out her mistakes in her studies and views her as more of a student rather than a princess to respect. Aldrecht's stern attitude towards Malty is to ensure she bothers to take the time and focus to apply his lessons for her life. |
| 232 | * ThereIsNoTry: His advice for Malty to mend her strained relationship with Aultcray is for her to stop deciding on whether to try or not try, but to instead just do it and see if the outcome will truly change. |

| 242 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He is known for being Malty's SternTeacher instructor and generally behaves in a manner where he is aware that Malty outranks him as a princess. However, behind his knightly manners, Zellus is secretly a SociopathicSoldier that sees no problem fighting innocent lives that had endangered themselves ending the undead Scourge, all just to enjoy an entertaining fight. |
| 243 | * BloodKnight: His main motive to come with Aldrecht to confront the Shield Hero and the Three Heroes Church expedition is not to steal the Seatto artifact, but to instead engage in battle if an opportunity presents itself. |
| 244 | * CurbStompBattle: He goes against fighting all of the Four Legendary Heroes in chapter 88 to prep them up for the third Wave and Zellus succeeds in dominating all of them in battle. Even though the heroes formed a formidable strategy in short period of time to outsmart him, it came to a naught, as Zellus succeeds in beating all of them. In the end, Zellus commends them for their efforts and hopes to experience a proper fight in their next meeting. |
| 245 | * CurbstompCushion: For most of the fight against Eclair and Pyrrha, he is overpowering them, but he is at times caught off-guard by their secret tricks. Notably to Pyrrha, Zellus focuses on dealing against her more for being more threatening and for managing to magnetize his metal sword into sticking with his sheath. |
| 246 | * DanceBattler: During the fight against Eclair and Pyrrha, Zellus uses the opportunity to start singing in chapter 76, all while being busy at either attacking or blocking. |
| 247 | * DontCallMeSir: As he teaches Malty the basics at learning on how to fight with a sword, he sternly warns her to only call him as a coach or trainer. Having Malty call him as master or teacher would imply he has a higher rank than her status as a princess and that their relationship with each other will eventually part ways the moment the teachings are over. |
| 248 | %%* EtTuBrute: Preparing for the third wave, Zellus got along with the Four Legendary Heroes, and despite being an enemy of Naofumi before, they are able to put aside their former grudges to get stronger for the third wave. When the Church takes control in chapter 95, Zellus takes their side to betray Naofumi and goes after Farkas for a fight. |
| 249 | * {{Foil}}: Zellus is a knight that has no interest in fighting for justice and only seeks to fight as a way to enjoy the primal onslaught. Pyrrha on the other hand, despite being a gladiator fighter of the Zeltoble Colosseum, she fights for ensuring flocks of people are protected. |
| 250 | * LevelDrain: His suggestion for Lady Yumiela to have a better grasp on her power is to drain her level with the Dragon Hourglass and start back at level 1 to not get overwhelmed by too much power. |
| 251 | * LogicalWeakness: He struggles to pull out his sword out of his sheath, due to Pyrrha using her lightning magic to make an electromagnetic reaction to stick the sword inside the sheath. |
| 252 | * LooseLips: In chapter 88, he makes a brief remark to excuse Mein away from making him deal with unnecessary worries about fighting the waves. The way Zellus calls Mein is by referring to her as a princess and by calling her in that title, he nearly exposed her real identity to everyone else near her. Luckily, because of Zellus' relaxed response, no one took his remark seriously to connect the dots that Mein is a princess. |
| 253 | * MoreDespicableMinion: Zellus may not be the one leading the Free Fighters like Zellus or is interested in claiming the Seatto artifact, but Zellus' intentions prove to be worst than his allies, as his main motive is to seek and experience the bloodshed of battles. |
| 254 | %%* MutualKill: Zellus and Farkas charging their bladed swords against each other results in both fighters having their flesh sliced by the end of their fight in chapter 95. |
| 255 | * OneManArmy: Despite the best efforts of Eclair, Pyrrha, and Yatsuhashi working together to beat him, Zellus' sword skills surpasses their combined strength and are beaten by the end of chapter 76. |
| 256 | * PerpetualSmiler: Zellus keeps wearing a confident smile during Eclair and Pyrrha's fight, since he is overpowering them in their attempts to beat him. |
| 257 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Fighting Eclair, Pyrrha, and Yatsuhashi, Zellus explains his reasoning as to why they can never beat him with their sword skills. To Eclair, she treats her skill as a craft, to Pyrrha, she utilizes her raw talent as a crutch, and Yatsuhashi for acting as a tool. |
| 258 | %%* SingleStrokeBattle: His battle with Farkas only lasts a single line from the both of them charging at each other with their swords and once their weapons come into contact against each other's bodies, they both spill out their blood. |
| 259 | * SociopathicSoldier: He is one of Melromarc's most skilled knights, but is also a BloodKnight that is fine with endangering the Church of the Three Heroes expedition and the Shield Hero's party to enjoy a good fight that will provide him. |
| 260 | %%* SternTeacher: |
| 261 | * StrongButUnskilled: Discussed. He talks about his theory that the stats displayed onscreen for people wanting to level up are not always accurate. While the stats measure the ratings of how their bodies function, Zellus notes that the stats don't measure any skill. That's why in the past, Zellus managed to beat a noblewoman, Lady Yumiela Dolknes, at level 99, while he was only at level 40. As a suggestion to get stronger, it is better to level up slowly and have the body adapt to the current level. |
| 262 | * TacticalRockPaperScissors: As an analogy to compare himself to Captain Lotheringan, Zellus acts like a scissors for his Aldoran fighting style, while the former is the rock can beat him with a fighting that is better suited against scissors. |
| 263 | * VictoryByEndurance: Implied. Zellus being far too under leveled win against Lady Yumiela in their fight, due to the latter's high ATK and DEF stats, it would have been unlikely for Zellus to trade blows against her. It can be inferred that he won the battle by clumsily tiring Yumiela out with her own mana and once she was too exhausted to resist, Zellus would have been able to easily defeat her afterwards. |
| 264 | * WeakButSkilled: Back in the past, he defeated Lady Yumiela in battle when the latter was at level 99, while he was only at level 40. Zellus easily won the fight because his level was backed up with experience, but Lady Yumiela only got stronger through a KillSteal exploitation. |
| 265 | * WellExcuseMePrincess: Inverted. Zellus is at a lower social standing when compared to Princess Malty, but he casually brushes her worries for the third Wave by having nearly revealed her identity. To have her not constantly worry of his recklessness, Zellus casually refers to her as princess, forgetting she is actively trying to hide her identity low in chapter 88. |
| 266 | * WillfullyWeak: Starting his fight against Eclair, he holds himself back to gauge his strength at the knight. When Eclair is assisted by Pyrrha in their fight against him, Zellus decides to stop holding back and to really get serious in fighting them in chapter 75. |

| 278 | * HairTriggerTemper: Her desire to always keep Melty safe at all cost, results in Sarah's violent temper to lash out at anyone with disdain, and would rather prepare for an incoming fight instead of doing peaceful communications. |
| 279 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: She and the Three Heroes have the common goal to save Melty from whatever ensuing danger approaching the latter, but Sarah instead gets into a fight with the Three Heroes, believing they are kidnapping Melty. |
| 280 | * NobleBigot: Deconstructed. She has a duty to protect Princess Melty with utmost dedication, but because of Palmer's prejudiced pride to call any demi-human an animal or with other types of racial slurs, Palmer ends up starting unnecessary conflicts where Melty has to step in and calm Palmer down of her aggression. |
| 281 | * NoListeningSkills: |
| 282 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Despite the Three Heroes coming in chapter 135 to rescue Princess Melty from the clutches of the Three Heroes Church, Sir Palmer goes on guard to attack them all for revealing an AwfulTruth that traumatized Melty. Though Sir Palmer is well-meaning in protecting Melty from whatever harm that approaches the latter, Palmer's inability to communicate with reason forces the Three Heroes to take more aggressive measures to knock both her and Melty down, as to not delay the rescue mission any further. |
| 283 | * RunningGag: Each time Sarah were to get angry at someone and prepare to fight for irrational reasons, the conflict she would attempt to start is likely to end with Melty ordering Sarah to cease whatever fight she plans on starting. |
| 284 | * YouLeaveHimAlone: Seeing Melty to be in distress in chapter 135, because of Ren revealing the crimes and lies the Three Heroes Church had made, Sarah is prompted to blame the Three Heroes for being possible threats to Melty, which leading to an unneeded conflict. |

Suddenly as Consevatie transforms Yomi, the demi-human impersonator, Baldy quickly shows that his UndyingLoyalty remains with Malty, as he shows his efforts to wash away her slave crest. |
| 332 | * EyeTake: He stares blankly with Blue Eyes in chapter 119 to comprehend why Malty is acting unusually grateful and protective, which is a contrast to the usual behavior they are familiar with in her princess lifestyle. |
| 333 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Downplayed. Malty knows his real name as Baldwin Winchester, but would prefer calling him Baldy, because his bald head is the most recognizable feature she knows of when calling him to serve her. |
| 334 | * SlaveLiberation: He takes actions to apply ointment and healing liquids onto Malty's chest to wash away the slave crest implanted onto her body. |
| 335 | * SubordinateExcuse: No matter all the times Malty had ignored and barked out orders for him, Baldy chooses to remain loyalty her worst times, such as her imprisonment in a dungeon cell. |

| 408 | * GoodPaysBetter: Her purpose to stay on Lord Noches' side as a Free Fighter agent is motivated by the fair payment she receiving from her the good work she provides, since that means no longer having to go around stealing food and be branded as a criminal to be hated. |

In addition to her tragic motives, she is the only one who wishes to remain on the job as a desire to live on as a good person, since being paid to do work by Lord Noches is an honest way to earn herself a living. |

| 446 | * FateWorseThanDeath: The women are given slave seals of the worst kind that are usually exclusive to the worst criminals, since the slave seals themselves originate from an iron rod that can't be washed away completely by holy water. |
| 447 | * ImprovisedWeapon: The ChildSoldiers arm themselves with random items inside of the mine base as their main weapons to use against any enemy trying to barge in their new home. |

| 449 | * SlaveBrand: The women are turned into a SlaveRace by having a hot iron rod be placed on their body for a slave crest to appear. Unlike a usual slave crest, the iron rod versions make the slave crest be left as a visible mark that can't be fully removed. |
| 450 | * SlaveRace: All or most of the women that are part of the village are enslaved under orders of Father Caleb, due to him seeing them as [[StrawMisogynist people unworthy to have rights or an enemy to the ranks of men]]. |

| 460 | * CassandraTruth: While teaching Raphtalia on how she can perform a mouth-to-mouth antidote transfer on someone, Raki is caught by Mein and is suspected to be trying to get a kiss from Raphtalia. Due to how frantic and nervous Raki acts at admitting his explanation, he is not believed by Mein. It isn't until chapter 58 where it's confirmed that Raphtalia was taught the mouth-to-mouth technique to save Mein from poison. |
| 461 | * DefiantCaptive: |
| 462 | ** He is put into a similar situation like Hob where they are both held in a HostageSituation that a knight could slice off their head. Rather than denounce the heroism Naofumi had done for Lute Village by orders of High Inquisitor Lord Emon, Raki defiantly lashes out on him and [[SpitefulSpit spits on his robe.]] |
| 463 | ** Even when everyone in Lute Village is taken as slaves in chapter 118, along with him being the next target to get enslaved, Raki takes a defiant act to spite Consevatie with criticisms showing the latter to be nothing more than a lame criminal given with lots of resources just to have a chance at victory. |

When attempting to put his mouth near Raphtalia, Raki is caught by Mein and is believed to be using this technique as a way to sneak a kiss onto Raphtalia. However, later in chapter 58, Raki had actually taught Raphtalia how to feed an antidote by kissing, since Raphtalia used it to save Mein. |
| 469 | * SpitefulSpit: |
| 470 | ** In response to retaliate Lord Emon for antagonizing his village, Hob, and the Shield Hero, Raki calls out Lord Emon for his actions and spits on his robe. |
| 471 | ** He attracts Consevatie's attention with a spit, and uses the latter's focus on him to deliver TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to deconstruct the incompetency of Consevatie behind his SmugSnake talk in chapter 118. |
| 472 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives a speech in chapter 118 to expose Consevatie to be criminal wearing the clothes of the rich, and for all the resources the latter has, they are the only reasons Consevatie is able to stand a chance enslaving everyone under his rule. |

| 490 | * AscendedExtra: Downplayed. He still remains a fairly minor character for ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', but he does play a bigger role in providing facts to teach Naofumi at nurturing Filo by appearing in sporadically in the chapters. When comparing Filorial Bill to his Shield Hero manga counterpart, he only existed in chapter 9 to give Naofumi beans as a sign of gratefulness to feed Firo. |

On the former fact, Mein is able to deduce that she was an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom by having flicked her finger on Firo's head way back in chapter 31, which set up the latter for her vindictive childishness. |

Here, she substitutes glyphs with elemental magic, taking cues from benders such as [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Zaheer]], and ninjas such as [[Manga/BorutoNarutoNextGenerations Shojoji]]. She also buffs her blade like [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Eugeo]]. On top of all that, she utilizes no less than ''two dozen'' one-handed sword skills passed down from Kirito's teachings, and she's ''still'' considered a '''novice wannabe'''. |
| 529 | * CombatPragmatist: Weiss herself ''tries'' to be this, using spells to try and win her "sparring match" with Eclair... and only tires herself out, something Eclair promptly takes advantage of. |
| 530 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Weiss is an incredibly skilled fencer. She also is very much unused to fighting people who use weapons significantly different to rapiers or who [[CombatPragmatist throw in punches and kicks]] when fighting. Notably, Weiss executes an impressive combination of attacks, which is stopped by Eclair's crossguard. It shows further when Weiss uses magic to change her rapier into first an arming sword and then a lance. Because she only trained with a rapier, she has almost no ability with her stronger magical weapons and Eclair easily handles each. |
| 531 | * CurbstompCushion: Weiss's duel against Eclair starts in her favor and she gets some licks in, but a good half or more of the fight is Eclair outright manhandling the merchant's daughter. |
| 532 | * SmallNameBigEgo: As a fighter, Weiss is described as a "novice wannabe" by the author. Doesn't stop her from boasting how "a mere hedge knight" such as Eclair has no chance against her. Eclair spends a good deal of their duel manhandling Weiss. |
| 533 | * SoreLoser: Weiss responds to losing her duel against Eclair by shouting insults about the Seatto House. When Eclair refuses to rise to her bait, Weiss insists that "the hedge knight at least knows when to admit defeat to her betters". |
| 534 | * TechnicianVsPerformer: In their duel, Weiss is the "Performer" to Eclair's "Technician". Weiss is much faster and well-trained with her rapier, and is a capable spellcaster, but she still loses to Eclair who uses punches, kicks, shoulder tackles and more. Eclair criticizes Weiss for dancing around so much, not only wasting energy, but also frequently exposing her back to her enemy. Eclair's style isn't as well suited for duels, being meant for fighting on the battlefield, but she has far better defenses. For a bit of {{Irony}}, Weiss herself was the "Technician" to her weapon-loving friend and teammate, [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Ruby Rose]]. |

| 584 | !!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 3/Chapter 3 Shield Hero and other heroes |
| 585 | !!!'''Origin:''' ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' |
| 586 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erhard_anime.png]] |
| 587 | A black smith that appears early on in the story to provide Naofumi and Mein their equipment to become ready for their quest to become newbie adventurers. However, because the equipment he recommends does not fit to Mein's likings, Elhard is often referred to as the Smith Demon. |
| 588 | ---- |
| 589 | * AdaptationalBadass: Elhard was never shown to be a fighter in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', since he is only seen selling his weaponry in his shop. At ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Elhard gets to showoff his ability to wield a weapon by using a HumongousHeadedHammer to participate in battles againsts the Three Heroes Church. |
| 590 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed. Elhard's most heroic actions in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' amounted to providing Naofumi and his party high-qualify or sometimes free equipment to have aid in their troubles. By the fanfic, Elhard is one of the people that helped rescue Naofumi and Mein in their dungeon cells in chapter 118, along with participating in a rebellion against the Three Heroes Church. |
| 591 | * AdaptationNameChange: Downplayed. His name is still Elhard, just like all versions of his canon self, but he is frequently referred to as the Smith Demon in Malty's perspective, as a way to be reminded of the horrible but useful resources he recommends for her to buy. |
| 592 | * AscendedExtra: Downplayed. Elhard is still a fairly minor character, but he has an involvement with rebelling against the Three Heroes Church in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', in contrast to his canon counterpart only appearing as a blacksmith for Naofumi to buy weapons at his shop. |
| 593 | * TheBusCameBack: He enters in chapter 3 to sell Naofumi and Mein the recommended equipment needed for adventure, then disappears afterwards once his role as their blacksmith is over. Later in chapter 119, Elhard makes a reappearance as one of the people participating a rebellion inside of the Melromarc capital to battle the Three Heroes Church's forces. |
| 594 | * ChekhovsGag: Instances where he has to give Naofumi and Mein equipment for their adventure, the ones Elhard recommends are usually stuff that Mein hates having to wear, despite its usefulness. |
| 595 | ** Though Mein wanted to wear a beautiful ivory armor, Elhard dismisses it in exchange for tight leather that can cover up more of her skin in the face of danger. Since giving the leather armor to Mein, she has then referred to Elhard as the Smith Demon for providing her beneficial yet uncomfortable resources. |
| 596 | ** Returning to the story at chapter 119, Elhard requests for Mein and all of Naofumi's followers to wear the armor of common guardsman to blend in with all the soldiers fighting inside of Melromarc. Even as Mein dislikes the low-class armor provided to her, just like the leather armor, she wears it to not be spotted by anyone. |
| 597 | * DressingAsTheEnemy: Invoked. He offers up four sets of common guardsman armors for Mein, Naofumi, Oersted, and Uranus to wear, so that they are all disguised as unimportant people that won't get targeted by the Three Heroes Church in their escape. |
| 598 | * FisticuffProvokingComment: Having his warhammer broken and insulted of its fragility by Consevatie, Elhard is triggered into smacking Consevatie in the face with the split warhammer to spite him from talking anymore in their fight. |
| 599 | * HumongousHeadedHammer: Elhard wields a long warhammer in a fight against Consevatie in chapter 119. Even as the warhammer's stick is split by Consevatie's battle axe, Elhard is able to utilize his WreckedWeapon's head to deliver a {{Jawbreaker}} on Consevatie. |
| 600 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He is rarely addressed by his real name, Elhard, and is instead nicknamed as the Smith Demon by Malty as a response for how a blacksmith whose only job was to sell armor and weapons to her, he knows how to make her life uncomfortable with the type of resources he recommends for her. |
| 601 | * TalkToTheFist: Just as Consevatie is insulting to futility to be harmed by his broken warhammer, Elhard hits his face with said broken warhammer to shut him up from talking any further in chapter 119. |
| 602 | * WreckedWeapon: Elhard gets the stick of his warhammer split in two by Consevatie's axe. However, because of Consevatie's overconfidence to brag on how great his weapon is, Elhard is able to deliver a {{Jawbreaker}} blow onto Consevatie with the metal head of the warhammer as a counterattack in chapter 119. |

| 619 | ---- |
| 620 | * AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: From ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' light novel series, Rino's tragedy and angst came from being unable to become an adventurer for Motoyasu's party, because Malty had betrayed and had her sold to slavery. The angst ended up transforming Rino into a vengeful spy for the queen with the thirst of wanting Malty's death. At the ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'', Rino has a TragicDream of being unable to become an adventurer with an exciting life. The reason being that was enrolled to the as a baking apprentice, instead of a adventurer, because of her father, Sir Ashley Raithos, mixing up her application with Macaroon. |
| 621 | * AdaptationalNiceGirl: Since she never experienced the same tragedies of being slave like her canon self and developing a desire for {{Revenge}} against Malty, Rino is more stable and content in living out her life. Though at first she lashes out at never being able to become an adventurer at the cost of following Macaroon's dream as a baker, Rino does find satisfaction as a baker from Itsuki's compliment towards her skill. |
| 622 | * FistOfRage: She clenches her fists onto her apron upon hearing that Maron left the Spear Hero's party for a bag of gold coins to start up their own bakery. |
| 623 | * HiddenDisdainReveal: Initially during her meeting with Macaroon at chapter 66, Rino tries to act with composure towards the Bow Hero's party to sell them baked goods. Once Macaroon talks about leaving the Spear Hero's group for money to start a private bakery of herself and Rino in it, the latter snaps in a fit of rage to reveal her disdain. The disdain Rino has for Macaroon is to explain that while the latter became an adventurer, she was left behind as a baker that will never be able to fulfill her own dream to become an adventurer, all from a mixed application from a year ago. |
| 624 | * SuddenlyShouting: Listening to Macaroon spew out about leaving the Spear Hero's party for a bunch of gold coins and wanting to start their own independent bakery, Rino loses her composure to reveal her disdain at Macaroon being able to live out the life of an adventurer, while she herself is unfulfilled as a baker. |
| 625 | * SweetBaker: She lost her dream of becoming an adventurer from an apprentice application mix up with Macaroon. The mix up resulted in Rino getting enrolled as a baker's apprentice, while Macaroon was enrolled to be an apprentice of a wizard. Though initially dissatisfied at never experiencing the role of an adventurer like she wanted, Rino is a NiceGirl that still cares for Maron's wellbeing regardless and when praised for her baking skills by Itsuki, Rino is awakened with the determination to be the best baker in Melromarc. |
| 626 | * TragicDream: She had a dream of becoming a famous adventurer to fill in excitement for her life, but was unable to fulfill it. The reason being that her father had mixed up her apprentice application to a baker, while the sister, Macaroon, was taken to be trained as an adventurer. With Macaroon living out her dream, Rino is left dissatisfied as a baker, until a complimenting praise from Itsuki encourages her to pursue at becoming the best baker in Melromarc. |

| 634 | * BreakoutCharacter: Before her real introduction into the story, Myne was a mentioned character that was used to joke around Malty unintentionally impersonation her identity. However, in chapter 66, she gets to properly meet Ren and Itsuki in person, which helps them realize that the Mein in Naofumi's group is an imposter. |
| 635 | * MistakenIdentity: When encountered by Ren and Itsuki in her debut chapter, the two of them mistake her for the Mein of Samphor that is travelling with Naofumi. Having her identity mistaken, Myne clears up the confusion by confirming that she is the only one having the name "Myne" in the town of Samphor. |
| 636 | %%* TheRealRemingtonSteele: |
| 637 | * OneSteveLimit: Downplayed. To find a way to be a separate character to Malty playing her role as Mein of Samphor, the real Myne of Samphor replaces the vowels of her name, despite both Mein and Myne being similar sounding. |

| 659 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magical_shop_owner_the_rising_of_the_shield_hero_anime.png]] |
| 660 | A shopkeeper of a magical store that brings in Mein and her group of rescuers to shelter them from the Three Heroes Church, until the group are able to make a plan to make their escape out of the Melromarc capital. |
| 661 | ---- |
| 662 | * AdaptationalNiceGirl: Exaggerated. Being based off of [[Literature/HarryPotter Umbridge]] [[HateSink Dolores]], the shopkeeper's referential personality traits she has out of her name as Madame Dolores makes her far tamer than the one from the ''Harry Potter'' series. While the original Umbridge Dolores always tries to find excuses for her DisproportionateRetribution on innocent students, Madame Umbridge only gets aggressive on people that have personally ruined her life, where on other times, she is a nice, old lady. |
| 663 | * AdaptationalJerkass: Downplayed. Having a personality similar to that of Dolores Umbridge from ''Literature/HarryPotter'', the shopkeeper's personality has a fiery anger when confronting those she despises. Whereas in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', the shopkeeper remains a calm lady never losing her mind to temper. |
| 664 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She behaves as a polite elderly lady willing to shelter refugees escaping from the Three Heroes Church, but can flare up with anger to fight anyone intruding her magical shop, or any church member she personally has grudges against. |
| 665 | * CompositeCharacter: Downplayed. Her appearance and personality as that of a kind elder that takes in and shows thanks to adventurers. However, her name as Madame Dolores gives her a hotheaded temper that is prone to using violence to her enemies, similarly Dolores Umbridge enacting extreme punishments to students in ''Literature/HarryPotter''. |
| 666 | * IllKillYou: To punish Father Caleb for barging into her house and enslaving her daughter, Aunty Dolores assures on bringing death onto him to have his blood pay for his crimes. |
| 667 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Madame Dolores wields a magical quill that can burn the hands of people she wishes to inflict pain onto. |
| 668 | * MythologyGag: As a reference of her quill being used to abuse innocent kids in her class from ''Literature/HarryPotter'', Madame Dolores in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'' gets to do a similar deed with her quill at Father Caleb to PayEvilUntoEvil for having kidnapped her daughter and intruding her magic shop. |
| 669 | * NamedInTheAdaptation: The shopkeeper lacked a name in ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', so her appearance in ''FanFic/AmbitionOfTheRedPrincess'' names her as Madame Dolores to reference personality traits of Dolores Umbridge from ''Literature/HarryPotter''. |

| 680 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: Having Naofumi's group be sheltered inside of his home, Eder welcomes them with care under the assumptions they are refugees running away from the Three Heroes Church. In truth, though correct at Naofumi's party to be escaping the Three Heroes Church, Eder ends up being wrong in assuming them to be refugees, and not a group of adventurers fighting back against the church. |

He tries to act polite in giving Naofumi's group a chance to stay with Eder if they need to, but the chance is denied by his sister's BluntNo and FantasticRacism rant not wanting to deal with Raphtalia being a demi-human. To Mein's perspective, she implies that Luka's selflessness were likely halted by Lusha's haughtiness long before in the past. |

| 699 | * BrattyHalfPint: Whereas her brother behaves politely to Naofumi's party being present in Eder's cabin, Lusha loses her cool, ruining peaceful environment, all because she can't stand having to be near at the presence of a demi-human. Even as Naofumi's party departs from the cabin, Lusha's last words to them is to further slander them as troublemakers not welcomed, and Mein in response feels irritated dealing with her bratty attitude. |
| 700 | * FantasticRacism: Her reasoning to not want Naofumi's group stay in Eder's cabin is because she can't stand letting Raphtalia the demi-human stay and become a potential troublemaker that could be avoided. |
