| 13 | Bari is the high priestess of Kamael, the god of harvest. Her mission is to resurrect the burnt World Tree by collecting happy memories from people by granting them wishes in return. A compassionate woman at heart, she would usually use ''her'' own happy memories as compensation instead, to the point where she doesn't even remember ''who'', ''what'', and ''how old'' she was in the first place. It's the primary reason why Mayreel, her Divine Beast companion, is so distrustful of humans... |

| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She is the main character of the short story "Town of Flowers, Helena". |
| 25 | * TheAgeless: Her short story ''Town of Flowers, Helena'' shows her looking exactly the same for at least long enough for a normal person to live their entire lifetime. |
| 26 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: Bari looks like a normal young woman, but she serves the god Kameal, has the power to grant wishes and manipulate plant life with ease, and hasn't aged a day in the time that a normal person would live out their entire life. Since she's used up nearly all of her memories of her past, not even she's certain if she qualifies as a human now or if she ever really did. |
| 27 | * BenevolentGenie: Grants wishes in return for happy memories. If the customer can't pay themselves or if she finds the required memory is too precious to the person, she'll grant the wish anyway using her own memories as payment instead. |
| 28 | ** She does have her limits, however, and will play LiteralGenie for those who demand wishes for selfish and harmful causes. She will also outright refuse to grant any wishes to bring back the dead. It's for her clients' own good: every time she tried it before, it never brought anything but heartbreak. |
| 29 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Bari is a kind and gentle woman at heart, but those who think they can abuse her kindness for their own greed or to harm others quickly regret it: either through her [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor creatively interpreting their wishes]], [[GiftOfTheMagiPlot removing the memories that would have made their gains from a selfish wish meaningful]], or, for particularly bad offenders, dropping all pretense and blasting them with a powerful EnergyBall. |
| 30 | * ChargedAttack: Her basic attacks are charged magic shots. If she's equipped with Mayreel, she'll sometimes get a much faster charging shot. |
| 31 | * CoolBigSis: She acts as an older sibling to her partner Mayreel. She's the only person Mayreel unconditionally respects enough to listen to without resistance. |
| 32 | * CutenessProximity: She has a weakness for cute children and animals. Her reaction to Kameal being turned into a brat was to mostly fawn over his(?) new form for being adorable. |
| 33 | * GreenThumb: Draws upon the power of nature to launch powerful magic blasts, and grabs targets with rose vines for her chain skill. |
| 34 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Bari has blonde hair and a very compassionate personality. |
| 35 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: She provides her services in return for happy memories. If the customer can’t pay, she’ll inflict this on herself by taking her own happy memories to make up for it. Her bio states that if she doesn't recognize you after a prior meeting, you should treat it as a compliment: it means she valued her time with you enough for it to count as the happy memory to pay for someone else's wish. |
| 36 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bunltrn07cg Town of Flowers, Helena.]] |
| 37 | * MightyGlacier: Has the highest attack out of all characters and surprisingly bulky for a ranged attacker, but has to charge her attacks and moves very slowly while doing so. |
| 38 | * MysteriousPast: Her age, background, and even species are all unknown. After using up so many of her own memories to grant wishes, not even she could tell anyone her past anymore. Some of her past eventually gets revealed in her own short story, though. |
| 39 | * NiceGirl: One of, if not THE, kindest characters in the game due to her self-sacrificing nature to grant people's wishes. [[BewareTheNiceOnes That doesn't mean she can't say no though]]. |
| 40 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Her exact age is unknown, but she has certainly lived longer than any human should, yet remained physically a young woman the whole time. |
| 41 | * RealityWarper: The full extent of her power is unknown, but she is able to do a number of impossible feats beyond her usual nature magic as long as it is in the context of granting a wish. |
| 42 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Bari's exclusive weapon is a small green sheep named Mayreel. Said sheep is also her partner in her travels, and is the more cynical of the two, though she's really loyal to Bari anyway. |
| 43 | * WanderingTheEarth: She travels the world as a priestess of Kamael, trying to gather enough positive memories to someday restore the burned World Tree. |

| 49 | [[quoteright:350:[[labelnote:JP artwork]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiniajp_6.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 50 | Tinia is a "dancer by day, assassin by night" that is active in the Desert of Madness. She prides herself in being an emissary of justice, but her naivety and being gullible would often get her to mistake innocent people as the greatest of sinners... |

| 59 | ->'''Illustrator:''' イコモチ (JP) |
| 60 | ---- |
| 61 | * BlackAndWhiteInsanity: She sees the world in purely binary terms and will turn her bow on anyone she judges the slightest bit evil. To her credit, she can be talked down and is hard on herself when she makes a mistake, but [[AesopAmnesia will do the same thing again later]]. |
| 62 | * TheCowl: Dancer by day, assassin that hunts evildoers by night. |
| 63 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Was once convinced that someone was evil because they used twice as much toilet paper as other people. |
| 64 | * DumbMuscle: She's a skilled fighter, but not the sharpest arrow in the quiver. |
| 65 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She's the flighty, flamboyant, and idealistic Foolish Sibling to Parvati's Responsible Sibling. |
| 66 | * HeroicWannabe: She wants to be a hero desperately, but lets her eagerness overwhelm her logic too much to be at all effective. |
| 67 | * LongLostSibling: She is Parvati's younger sister. They never saw each other again after their parents divorced. As she was very young when they were separated, she doesn't remember what Parvati looked like anymore. |
| 68 | * PowerfulButIncompetent: Tinia is a very deadly assassin, but she's very naive and can be easily convinced that someone is evil. |
| 69 | * SiblingYinYang: Tinia is the exact opposite of her calm, professional, organized, and cold older sister, Parvati. |
| 70 | * SolomonDivorce: When her parents split up, they each kept custody of one of their daughters. Neither she nor her sister Parvati had contact with each after that. |
| 71 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her default outfit is a tube top and slit skirt. Her appearance in the winter-themed ''A Little Festival Miracle'' comic pokes fun at the impracticality of her outfit by having her silently shivering in misery when standing in the snow while everyone else wears more appropriate clothing for the climate. |

| 77 | [[quoteright:350:[[labelnote:JP artwork]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alefjp.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 78 | Once named Alefiod, he was an alchemist that got exiled from his kingdom due to his refusal to utilize his golem created to protect the kingdom for war. Going forward as Alef, he now travels the world in his child form in search of ladies and true beauty. |

| 87 | ->'''Illustrator:''' Mery (JP) |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * AdvertisedExtra: He's supposed to be the feature character of ''Welcome to the Succubus Cafe'' judging from promotional material, but he only does a few jokes in passing throughout the side story aside from being the guest playable character in the last stage. Yuze played more like a leading character than him. |
| 90 | * BigDamnHeroes: The final stage of the side-story ''Welcome to the Succubus Cafe'' is played as Alef, who goes to face Carmen directly when she attacks the Cafe. |
| 91 | * ButtMonkey: Later appearances and references in the story mock him for his poor performance as a unit. The Mad Panda Trio treat receiving his weapon as such a failure that they don't even try to sell it. |
| 92 | * ChivalrousPervert: Everything he does is in service of spending time with beautiful women. If any lovely ladies are in peril, he'll move heaven and earth to save them. The Slayers NEXT collab story shows that this great respect also extends to dear elderly ladies. |
| 93 | * FountainOfYouth: Alef accidentally reverted himself to childhood in an experiment gone wrong. He ended up enjoying the newfound freedom his child body gave him (read: women are less intimidated by his child form), so he didn't bother trying to undo it. |
| 94 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmIxyafsJNs Succubus Cafe's ending track.]] [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Sound familiar...?]] |
| 95 | * TheExile: Exiled from his country when he refused to use the golem he built to defend the country to then start a war. |
| 96 | * {{Golem}}: One of his specialties as an alchemist is golem creation. In battle, he rides a big wooden golem that does the fighting for him. |
| 97 | * OlderThanHeLooks: Used a de-aging potion that [[GoneHorriblyRight worked a little too well]]. He could reverse the effect if he wanted, but he actually prefers his current state. The Slayers NEXT collab story shows him in his adult form, complete with a white shirt that's halfway unbuttoned. |
| 98 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: He abandoned his original country when the leadership tried to pressure him into making golems for war. |
| 99 | * TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: Is a firm believer in this, and it's how he breaks through Carmen's facade. |

| 106 | Rue is a cynical weredeer that has a knack for doing whatever it takes to help Santa give her presents to children on Christmas. She's grateful and loyal to Santa for giving her some courage when she was still a red-nosed crybaby. As of the end of "Rue the Red", she is [[spoiler:canonically dead, sacrificing her life to ensure Christmas could still go on even after the Invaders tried disrupting it]]. Then, some time after ''Lynn's Bento Shop'' but before ''After World Inc.'', [[spoiler:she has now reincarnated as a new person somewhere in the mortal world.]] |

| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * AcePilot: Has an "instinctive knack" for it, piloting Santa's new jet day one. |
| 117 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Stars in the side-story ''Rue The Red: Christmas Day''. |
| 118 | * AdaptationalBadass: About as badass as [[spoiler:Rudolph]] gets. |
| 119 | * {{Animorphism}}: [[spoiler:During a full moon, Rue can transform into a much more animalistic weredeer form. The form grants her incredible power, but uses up so much energy that she died shortly after using it.]] |
| 120 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Santa was the only person willing to help her when she was bullied as a child. Rue dedicated the rest of her life to helping her because of it. |
| 121 | %%* CaptainObviousReveal: She's [[spoiler:Rudolph, having gained enough power over time to gain a weredeer form]]. The game makes a token attempt to hide it via an IKnowYourTrueName contract between Rue and Santa, but players should piece it together fairly quickly. |
| 122 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Turning into her more deer-like humanoid form is not without posing great danger to her. She uses this as a last-ditch resort to protect Christmas from Invader intervention, but [[spoiler:this kills her as she had sustained several injuries earlier.]] |
| 123 | * DudeMagnet: She gets the attention of some male admirers when at the beach in ''When You Wish Upon a Star''. |
| 124 | * EarWorm: She manages to ear worm HERSELF on the ''Terminator 2'' opening in one of her Heavenhold quotes. Considering that she fires her shotgun to the same beat, Earth players may find themselves with a case before too long. |
| 125 | * FriendToAllChildren: Rue considers it her duty to do whatever she can to ensure that the children of the world can have a happy Christmas. [[spoiler:Even if it costs her life in the process.]] |
| 126 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Is a playable character despite [[spoiler:being acknowledged as canonically dead on more than one occasion]]. |
| 127 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Rue may seem intimidating and stoic, but she goes out of her way to aid others when possible. One of her lines has her claim that she wouldn't consider herself deserving of life if she wasn't ever gentle. |
| 128 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She died after using up too much of her power and sustaining injuries while stopping an Invader fleet from trying to ruin Christmas by destroying a town.]] |
| 129 | * HollywoodGiftwrap: Can chuck a MASSIVE gift box at downed targets, which is loaded with bombs. |
| 130 | * InsistentTerminology: It's not human, it's not reindeer, it's not huge lady, it's Weredeer. |
| 131 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Despite being otherwise highly practical, Rue goes into battle wearing a revealing fancy dress and [[CombatStilettos high heels]]. |
| 132 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Transforming into her Weredeer form causes her energy to run out and for her to fade away. To drive it in she appears in the ''Lynn's Bento Shop'' short story... among other dead characters shopping at Lynn's restaurant in the afterlife.]] |
| 133 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: She doesn't look like she has much musculature to speak of, but the second-anniversary motion comic shows that she's a match for [[Characters/GuardianTalesWorld4 Marvin]] in sheer physical strength. |
| 134 | * OralFixation: Always has a piece of candy in her mouth. |
| 135 | * OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Weredeer spend almost all of their lives in near-human form, only differentiated by their height and antlers. They can return to a more deer-like humanoid state, but [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique at a great cost]]. |
| 136 | * {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Her file in the ''After World Inc.'' short story reveals that her soul has already completed her time in the After World and she has been reborn as a new person.]] |
| 137 | * TheStoic: She rarely expresses much emotion and carries herself as a hardened warrior most of the time. |
| 138 | * UndyingLoyalty: She's the only one of Santa's workers willing to stand by her despite their working conditions. |
| 139 | * WalkingSpoiler: Can't exactly talk about Rue without mentioning [[spoiler:her death by the end of her side story, and her alleged subsequent reincarnation before the events of ''After World Inc'']]. |
| 140 | * WrenchWench: Rue is a skilled mechanic and craftsperson. |

| 147 | Bari's tag-along animal companion and servant of Kamael, the God of Harvest. Usually seen as an adorable green alpaca, she has a humanoid form that she seldom uses due to both her misanthropic tendencies and her chagrin in following human customs and traditions. |

| 157 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She (in human form) features in the short story ''A Christmas "Carol"'' alongside [[Characters/GuardianTalesLightUniqueHeroes Carol]]. |
| 158 | %%* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She acts like this to Kamael. |
| 159 | * GreenThumb: As a divine servant of the Harvest God, she has some control over plant life. |
| 160 | * HeroicNeutral: She honestly couldn't care less about restoring the World Tree or fighting the Invaders but will fight for Bari's sake. |
| 161 | * HumanityEnsues: She somehow gained a humanoid form, although she'd prefer to stay in her non-human form. |
| 162 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She hates humanity, but only because she blames them for Bari erasing her own memories to support them. For as much as she hates humans, even she will aid them if she is convinced that it is for an unselfish cause. |
| 163 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: She is Bari's closest friend and confidant. |
| 164 | * LuminescentBlush: Seen more on her sprite than her illustration. She does this whenever she's embarrassed or very happy about what others think of her. [[{{Tsundere}} She'll tell you she definitely isn't though.]] |
| 165 | * MoralityChain: Mayreel is surly towards everyone and especially dislikes humans, but Bari can usually scold her into playing nice. |
| 166 | * NotTheIntendedUse: The game categorizes her as a 'support' character[[note]]Likely due to her [[SecretArt Awakening Skill]] decreasing the damage taken by Bari [[/note]], yet her attacks [[GlassCannon pack one hell of a punch]] to the point that, with the right setup and some luck, she can beat all the characters in a 1v1 (including [[MightyGlacier Bari herself]]). Fully enforced in a later update where she gets a rework in which her Awakening Skill can now be activated by any Earth-type character in the party, giving her more flexibility in team compositions that don't use Bari.[[note]]Though of course she would have a way harder time with [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Fire characters like Vishuvac and Lynn]] [[/note]] |
| 167 | * OddFriendship: Despite herself, she manages to bond with the cheery and kindly Christmas Elemental [[Characters/GuardianTalesLightUniqueHeroes Carol]] in her titular short story. |
| 168 | * {{Planimal}}: Her normal form is a small sheep-like creature covered in vines and leaves like wool. |
| 169 | * PromotedToPlayable: She was promoted from Bari's main weapon to playable character. |
| 170 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her natural form looks more like a walking plush toy than an alpaca. |
| 171 | * {{Tsundere}}: Sweet towards Bari, surly and bratty towards anyone else. She gets flustered when getting out-of-left-field compliments from other people though, especially when she's being a jerk towards them. She'll definitely tell you she wasn't happy hearing those words or anything. |
| 172 | * UndyingLoyalty: She is always dedicated to Bari. Even her Awakening skill is designed specifically to aid only Bari. Her loyalty to Kamael is a distant second priority. |
| 173 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: She can change between human and alpaca form at will, but prefers to stay in her alpaca form most of the time out of dislike for human customs and humanity in general. |

He's tasked by the god Prometheia to revive the burnt World Tree to restore the gods' divinity. While he is working to improve life on Tethis, Kamael embodies as much of [[NatureIsNotNice nature's harshness]] as he does its benevolence. He's cold and calculating when it comes to his business endeavors, but he becomes a doting old man when it involves his two disciples Bari and Mayreel, who he keeps his corporate life a secret from. |

| 189 | ---- |
| 190 | * AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: As "[[FountainOfYouth Hexed]] Kamael", [[GenderBender "he"]] becomes an annoying braggart who flexes "his" wealth around to anyone within range. "His" sprite animations are also changed to appear more materialistic like [[MoneyToThrowAway making it rain money]] in "his" idle animation. |
| 191 | * AllThereInTheManual: The story of how Kamael ended up getting hexed is detailed in certain artifacts and random events that can only be obtained/encountered in [[{{Roguelike}} KAMA-ZONE's]] deeper levels on Conqueror difficulty, making said story sort of a bragging right for endgame players. [[spoiler:He wanted to understand Mayreel more as she keeps being a BrattyTeenageDaughter towards him, and so, while believing that a point-of-view in Mayreel's age could expand his horizons, he ends up looking for a witch rumored to grant any wish... The only problem being that this [[JerkassGenie Sea Witch]] named [[Characters/GuardianTalesWaterUniqueHeroes Ara]] isn't exactly known for giving away wishes straightforwardly]]. |
| 192 | * AssistCharacter: His exclusive weapon skill animation has him blast a massive green beam with the assistance of two unnamed earth fairies, which can be changed to become Bari, Mayreel, or both of them instead if ever you have pulled one or both of them in the gacha and they're not in your active party. |
| 193 | * BrickJoke: In the short story ''When You Wish Upon a Star'', Bari and Mayreel can be found looking for a disappeared Kamael, who apparently ended up getting cursed to become a little brat[[labelnote:*]]Mayreel calls him "kusogaki" (little brat) in the Japanese script[[/labelnote]]. The player doesn't get to see this form of Kamael anywhere in said story. Then comes the 2nd anniversary early announcements roughly a month later and it's revealed that the [[https://cafe.daum.net/GuardianTales/ARz7/162 "Hexed Kamael"]] will end up becoming his own free Super Costume complete with new voiceovers. |
| 194 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Under his rule, Kamazon is a brutal corporate empire dedicated to dominating all competition. Even if said competition has to suffer some [[DeadlyEuphemism "unfortunate accidents"]] in the process. |
| 195 | * EarlyBirdCameo: For the Japanese server, he had his sprite shown during the ''A Christmas "Carol"'' short story, which was rolled out early for said server. He can also be seen with Mayreel and Bari in the said server's 1st anniversary anime PV. At said points in time, he wasn't released as a playable character. |
| 196 | * ElderlyImmortal: Unlike the other gods who tend to appear as young adults, Kamael is eternally elderly. |
| 197 | * FountainOfYouth: Kamael gets turned into a kid offscreen during ''When You Wish Upon a Star'', which would later be shown as the featured free Super Costume for the game's 2nd Anniversary. |
| 198 | ** GenderBender: Said FountainOfYouth also changed his gender to female for some reason, leading to having an appearance much expected of a female BrattyHalfPint, and getting a female voice actor for the new voicelines. |
| 199 | * GreenThumb: As a nature god, creating and manipulating plants is natural for him. |
| 200 | * HonestCorporateExecutive: He made Kamazon extremely powerful and has little remorse for what it took to get there, but he is honest in what he does and provides quality products. |
| 201 | * {{Irony}}: A nature god that runs a major shopping corporation that employs mostly robotic workers. |
| 202 | * MoralityPet: He's usually a brutal businessman, but he softens up like a doting father for Bari and Mayreel. |
| 203 | * NatureIsNotNice: As an embodiment of nature itself, Kamael is quick to remind people that he can be just as callous and savage to those who get in his way as he can be nurturing and kind to his followers. |
| 204 | * ParentalSubstitute: He treats Bari and Mayreel as daughters rather than disciples and goes out of his way to dote on them when he is able. |
| 205 | * PhysicalGod: Like his contemporaries in the pantheon, he is heavily weakened without the World Tree or prayers, but still has a degree of divine power. Enough to smite arrogant mortals who think an old man is a pushover. |
| 206 | * PushoverParents: He is ruthless in battle and in the boardroom, but a complete pushover to his two disciples/adoptive daughters. Mostly with Mayreel; Bari usually treats him more respectfully. |
| 207 | * TheUnfettered: Kamael founded Kamazon as a tool to aid his mission of restoring the World Tree. All its ruthless policies and any lives it destroys are worth it in his eyes as long as it fulfills its purpose. |

| 214 | A half-desert elven woman working in the Demon World. She's Tinia's long-lost older sister, as she was taken custody of by their human father following their parents' divorce, which also saw Tinia taken by their desert elven mother. Like her sister, she's an assassin, but unlike her vigilante of a sister, she works for Kamazon, tasked with eliminating anyone that dares oppose Kamazon's aggressive expansion and/or those that endanger Kamazon's iron fist in the capitalistic world. She makes herself believe that she's working an ordinary job in her ordinary life, hoping that her estranged sister also lives an ordinary life... |

| 224 | ---- |
| 225 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She features in the short story ''4th District 29th Street''. |
| 226 | * BelievingTheirOwnLies: She has to regularly lie to herself that she works a "normal job" to live with the guilt of being an assassin. She even dubs her exclusive weapon [[FluffyTheTerrible "Office Supplies"]] to keep her willful delusion up. |
| 227 | * DaddysGirl: She was raised by her father alone and seems still deeply care for him as she writes her journals as messages addressed to him even after his death. |
| 228 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She's the mature, sensibly dressed, and professional Responsible Sibling to Tinia's Foolish Sibling. |
| 229 | * HitmanWithAHeart: Parvati is an assassin for an amoral corporate empire, but cares deeply for a sister she hasn't seen since childhood. |
| 230 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Constantly tells herself that she's working an ordinary job and living an ordinary life, and wishes [[{{Irony}} Tinia is living that life as well]]. |
| 231 | * LongLostSibling: She is Tinia's older sister. They never saw each other again after their parents divorced. |
| 232 | * MarriedToTheJob: She's highly dedicated to her work and takes pride in her performance. She takes little to no interest in or pleasure from life outside of it. |
| 233 | * ProfessionalKiller: Unlike her sister who is an assassin for the sake of imposing her (sometimes skewed) view of justice, she's an assassin for an aggressively capitalistic megacorporation that tasks her to kill its enemies, even if they are people that she had gotten to know before. |
| 234 | * PunchClockVillain: Most of the time, Parvati is cold but polite and open to some degree of friendship. When she gets an order from her supervisors, however, she'll ruthlessly execute anyone they order her to with no hesitation or malice. To her, it's all just part of the job. |
| 235 | * SiblingYinYang: Parvati is the complete opposite of her impulsive, naive, scatterbrained, and overly dramatic little sister Tinia. |
| 236 | * SolomonDivorce: When her parents split up, they each took one of their two daughters. Neither she nor her sister Tinia had contact with each other after that. |

| 241 | [[caption-width-right:350:Scarlett: ''This is a job made for the Mad Panda Trio!'']] |
| 242 | As mercenaries that would just take on any job for money, the Mad Panda Trio try their hands at attending an extravagant party in Heavenhold in search of easy loot! These three mercenaries once attempted to take the Little Princess for ransom in Kanterbury Forest. They show up repeatedly to impede you farther into the game for whatever reason. |

| 264 | !!Tropes in general: |
| 265 | * BigDamnHeroes: Can pull this off in World 11, depending on the player's actions. [[spoiler:If you restore power to their mech, they'll come to your aid at the end of 11-5 and team up with Loraine to trounce the Invader ambush.]] |
| 266 | * CriminalFoundFamily: They're a bunch of idiots that seek out money in whatever ways they can, but they always dream big as a trio and they do show that they care for each other a lot more than you'd expect. |
| 267 | * EpicFlail: The main weapon of their mech is a giant flail. As a boss, they'll either swing it in a wide circle or wind up and launch it at your team repeatedly. As playable characters, the flail gets used as a Weapon Skill if you equip Mad Panda Trio with their Exclusive Weapon. |
| 268 | * DirtyCoward: They're quick to run away when actually dangerous villains show up and eventually come to fear facing the Knight. They only ever find their [[CowardlyLion courage]] in the ''Unrecorded World''. |
| 269 | * DumbMuscle: Danny is apparently considered the "muscle" of the team. He doesn't compare to any of the powerhouses in Heavenhold, though. |
| 270 | * {{Expy}}: To [[Characters/PokemonTheSeriesTeamRocketTrio Team Rocket]], being a GoldfishPoopGang consisting of two humans and a TalkingAnimal. Even their backstories before the Trio was formed sound similar to Team Rocket's. |
| 271 | * FriendlyEnemy: They're technically still enemies to the Knight, but as the story moves on and much more dangerous enemies get revealed, they start to drift closer to being friendly, if somewhat obnoxious, rivals to the Knight rather than real antagonists. |
| 272 | * FragileSpeedster: Panda is quick on his feet, but not built to take hits. |
| 273 | * GadgeteerGenius: Panda is capable of making and servicing complicated devices, such as the team's combat mech. None of his designs hold a candle to what the engineers of Heavenhold can whip up. |
| 274 | * GoKartingWithBowser: One side stage in the Dungeon Kingdom is basically the Knight and the Trio teaming up for a pub crawl competition. While the Mad Panda Trio are quick to return to the status quo afterwards, the Knight seems genuinely hurt that they rejected their offer of friendship. |
| 275 | * GoldfishPoopGang: They show up in later worlds as a minor plot device or a small annoyance. |
| 276 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Scarlett proudly proclaims she can drink [[FrothyMugsOfWater barley tea]] all day. This doesn't stop some of the boozehounds of Heavenhold from effortlessly drinking her under the table. |
| 277 | * HarmlessVillain: They're supposedly ruthless mercenaries, but are rarely more than an inconvenience and don't have to heart to do anything truly evil. |
| 278 | * HeelFaceTurn: By the time of the ''Unrecorded World'', they have given up villainy entirely and act as Future Princess's loyal, if goofy and cowardly, subordinates. |
| 279 | * HulkSpeak: Danny's speech is usually monosyllabic as he lost most of his intelligence after a freak illness as a child. When he's completely drunk, however, he somehow regains a portion of that old intelligence and temporarily becomes a very erudite speaker. |
| 280 | * HumongousMecha: They pilot one as the boss of World 1. [[spoiler:They keep it after the TimeSkip, although it's obviously seen much better days]]. As playable characters, a smaller version of their mech is utilized as a SuperMode and in their Weapon Skill. |
| 281 | * NunsAreFunny: The leader Scarlett used to be an orphan girl living with the Church of Prometheia around the time of the Slayers NEXT collab ten years before the beginning of the game. |
| 282 | * PromotedToPlayable: As of the 2nd Anniversary update. |
| 283 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: These three individuals came from vastly different walks of life and would later find themselves intertwined in an unbreakable bond. |
| 284 | * RedemptionPromotion: They become much more competent as part of the resistance in the ''Unrecorded World'' and as a playable unit than they ever were as villains. |
| 285 | * ShooOutTheClowns: As the story got darker, their appearances grew rarer and roles as antagonists ceased to exist. |
| 286 | * SuddenlyVoiced: As a result of the Japanese version adding partial voice acting for the Prologue and Chapter 1. |
| 287 | * TalkingAnimal: The eponymous red panda of the trio is capable of human speech. |
| 288 | * TerribleTrio: They're a trio of goofy, not-particularly-threatening criminals that show up to harass the main characters every so often. |
| 289 | * UndyingLoyalty: No matter what happens or how dangerous it gets, the Mad Panda Trio would never abandon each other. |
| 290 | |
| 291 | !!Tropes as Party Crasher: |
| 292 | * ActuallyFourMooks: When out of battle, only Scarlett's sprite is visible since she's the main unit the player controls. Danny and Red Panda only show up in battle as a variation of GuestStarPartyMember. |
| 293 | * HeelFaceTurn: This unit shows them joining the Heavenhold crew. Mostly because [[GoodPaysBetter working for the heroes pays much better than crime ever did]]. |
| 294 | * HiddenDepths: Their playable version's bio reveal each of the three's backstories before they met one another: |
| 295 | ** Scarlett was once an [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan orphan]] living in a convent run by the Church of Prometheia. Her early life wasn't a happy one as it was marked by bullying and looks of disappointment from the nuns, with her longing for just a tiny bit of kindness in her life. One day, a merchant infamous for his bad temper arrived at the convent and managed to get the priests and nuns to act "kindly" to him. Scarlett saw this and approached this merchant before he left, asking what his secret was in getting people to be nice to him. After being told that the key is "having money", Scarlett would later run away from the convent to become a mercenary. |
| 296 | ** Danny was once a highly-intelligent boy named Daniel, who became very famous both for his parent's "parenting diary" that became a bestseller in Kanterbury and for entering the Royal College at a very young age, but he disliked being the center of people's attention. One day, he caught a very bad fever that left him unconscious for a few days. After he recovered, it was discovered that [[TookALevelInDumbass he lost his intelligence somehow]], and he would later be forgotten and ignored by the public and his own parents, who shifted their attention to their second son. One day, he would later disappear after a certain red-haired woman entered the family's mansion. |
| 297 | ** Panda was a former adventurer that [[CareerEndingInjury had to retire after]] [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim getting shot in the knee]]. He became a storyteller for a while, embellishing his tales of adventures and constantly changing parts of his past tales. No one even knows if "Panda" really is his name. He would later cross paths with the previous two and would form their mercenary group soon after. |
| 298 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: The second-anniversary motion comic has each member of the Mad Panda Trio finding themselves hopelessly outmatched in all their individual skills by other Heavenhold residents. Part of why they [[ActuallyFourMooks exclusively fight as a team]] is because it takes all three of them and their [[MiniMecha mech]] to be roughly on par with any one of the other heroes. |
| 299 | * UninvitedToTheParty: As the title shows, the trio showed up at the second anniversary party uninvited looking for a big score from the party prizes. The heroes don't seem to mind and let them participate anyway. |

| 304 | Rosetta is a former executive of the Reservoir Snakes crime syndicate. Kidnapped from the slums at a young age and raised as a fighter in the hellish conditions of a facility known as "The Wolf's Belly". Eventually, she met another orphan girl named Oliva who she quickly bonded with. Together with the other children, they eventually overthrew and destroyed the facility and formed the gang Reservoir Snakes to protect others from having to share their fate. Olivia and Rosetta eventually came to blows over disagreements on the future of the gang and dueled for leadership. Rosetta lost and left without a trace while Olivia warped the gang into the vicious crime syndicate it is now. Rosetta wandered the wastes for decades until she eventually met Olivia's now-exiled granddaughter [[Characters/GuardianTalesWorld1 Elvira]]. She took in the girl and trained her in hopes that she'll someday retake the gang and restore it to its original purpose. |

| 314 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She stars alongside her student Elvira in the short story, ''The Old, The Angry, and The Weird Snake''. |
| 315 | * BadassNormal: She doesn't have any special powers, magic artifacts, backup minions, or advanced equipment. She became a legendary fighter with nothing but a well-maintained revolver, intense training, and decades of hard-won experience. |
| 316 | * BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Her go-to move to warn off people foolish enough to challenge her. |
| 317 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was born in the slums, kidnapped and raised as a weapon in The Wolf's Belly, was betrayed by her oldest friend, saw her formerly-well-intentioned gang warped into a vicious syndicate, and spent an untold amount of time wandering the desert alone. |
| 318 | * DineAndDash: Rosetta tends to rack up large tabs for food and especially booze wherever she goes. Part of why she tends to wander is to avoid angry mobs of shopkeepers looking to collect on her debt. |
| 319 | * DrowningMySorrows: She's been mostly at the bottom of a bottle since her fateful duel with Great Grandma. |
| 320 | * TheGunslinger: She's an old western-styled character that has incredible skill with a revolver. |
| 321 | * JustLikeRobinHood: Her goal in establishing Reservoir Snakes was to make a gang that would protect the downtrodden and weak. Unfortunately for Rosetta, she lost control over the gang to Olivia in a duel. As the new leader, Olivia would dub herself "Gread Grandma" and transform the gang she and Rosetta built into a force just as oppressive and callous to the weak as their former targets were. |
| 322 | * MentorInSourArmor: She's cynical and dismissive of Elvira and her abrasive attitude at first, but saw potential in the girl and took her in as a student anyway. |
| 323 | * MoochingMaster: She happily stick Elvira with her food and bar tabs while she runs off to relax or lay low. She sometimes justifies it as [[WaxOnWaxOff unconventional training]], but often doesn't bother with the pretense and leaves Elvira to deal with hordes of angry shopkeepers on her own. |
| 324 | * MsFanservice: Her impressive figure and [[{{Stripperiffic}} outfit]] make her very attention-grabbing. |
| 325 | * MyGreatestSecondChance: She sees Elvira as her best chance to undo the wrongs Great Grandma has done with Reservoir Snakes. |
| 326 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her shirt is open down to her navel. |
| 327 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's a contemporary of Elvira's grandmother, but could pass for a woman in her 20s or 30s at the oldest. Doesn't stop her student from calling her old whenever she gets the chance. |
| 328 | * OldMaster: She's been fighting her entire, very long life and took Elvira under her wing to show the girl how it's really done. |
| 329 | * TricksterMentor: Most of her training assignments are seemingly random chores and activities. Some are [[WaxOnWaxOff designed to subconsciously impart skills or improve conditioning]]. Other times, they're to teach Elvira an important intellectual or emotional lesson. The rest are just Rosetta messing with Elvira for personal amusement and/or convenience. |
| 330 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Elvira's grandmother Olivia used to be her best friend and co-leader of Reservoir Snakes. The two had a falling out over their conflicting ideologies and have been bitter enemies ever since. |

| 352 | The younger sister of [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes Queen Lilith]], Morrian is the governor of the militarized state of Saul. As it's magnanimous leader, she demonstrated an unnerving efficiency when rooting out the endemic corruption of the city upon her ascension to leadership, while implementing policies wholly advantageous to the expansion and prosperity of Saul as the mightiest military city of Demon World, and in her wake spawned an enthusiastic cloud of support which the citizenry participated with ardor. Yet beneath her projection of solidarity was a deep-seated resentment for Lilith, who she didn't believe had what it took to truly lead Demon World to greatness, and which reached a breaking point after the Invader assault... |

| 362 | ---- |
| 363 | * TheAce: When it comes to military strategy and tactics, among her peers she was the best. Yet even then... |
| 364 | * AlwaysSecondBest: It seems, Lilith was the one person that outclassed Morrian in all fields, a seemingly infallible fact that metastasized into her resentment that resulted in the Demon World Civil War. |
| 365 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She has the same bright pink skin tone and lavender hair as her sister. |
| 366 | * DevouredByTheHorde: [[spoiler:She was devoured by a horde of Labose monsters in 18-14.]] |
| 367 | * DividedWeFall: It's ultimately her war that causes Demon World to swiftly fall into disorder and chaos and [[spoiler:lose the ability to effectively handle the ensuing Labose invasion.]] |
| 368 | * DogpileOfDoom: [[spoiler:This is the manner in which she ultimately died in 18-14, well, before she was EatenAlive by plague monsters.]] |
| 369 | * DrivenByEnvy: Her war against Lilith is ultimately driven by a deep-seated resentment of her sister and belief that she didn't truly deserve to be ruler of Demon World. |
| 370 | * EatenAlive: [[spoiler:For a pixel game, her death in the maw of a dozen hungering plague monsters was quite gruesome.]] |
| 371 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:When she realizes that the planet-wide catastrophe at hand by-and-large soared far beyond the importance of her petty resentment of her sister, Morrian becomes amenable to offering military support to Lilith to fight back the inter-dimensional invasion that threatened to destroy all of Demon World.]] |
| 372 | * FlawExploitation: In many ways, Morrian hated her sister for [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter always seeming to be better than her in every way]], and believed that she alone deserved to be ruler of Demon World, not Lilith. [[spoiler:And after Aslan perished, she reached her emotional nadir, and that's when the [[TheCorrupter Plague Doctor]] revealed himself to her. He convinced her that Lilith was incompetent and was driving Demon World into ruin through that terminal incompetence, and that only through ''her'' leadership can Demon World become the [[TheEmpire mighty militaristic empire]] of her dreams- he told her what she wanted to hear, and goaded forth her resentment. He also told her that her sister could ''never'' deal with the coming Invader assault, and when that assault did truly occur, it seemed like the mysterious man was right. And so he told her secrets about Labose, and how it could be used to create SuperSoldiers, to fight her civil war...]] |
| 373 | * GloryDays: Another one of her motivations was, upon seeing the perceived 'weakness' of modern Demon World under Lilith's rule, she believed that, through her leadership, the country could once again become the military superpower like it was under the ancient king Beelzebub, a force that once brought Heaven and Tetis to their knees. |
| 374 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:When Lilith shows her that her actions alone allowed the crisis that threatened to destroy Demon World, and have gotten countless innocents killed, she realized the error of her ways and, with her final hours of life, tried to make her amends.]] |
| 375 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She gave up her life to ensure the survival of her soldiers by doing something no-one else was brave enough to do: charge head-on into a horde of plague monsters. Of course, it's not like she could have done anything to prevent her death, anyways.]] |
| 376 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Blames herself for all the damage Demon World has endured for the past few months, because of her hatred, her weakness and susceptibility to that [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes man's]] manipulation.]] |
| 377 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She roughly paraphrases this when she realizes that she should have been wiser, that she should have rejected the Plague Doctor's offer. Then, perhaps Demon World wouldn't be on the verge of collapse.]] |
| 378 | * ObiWanMoment: [[spoiler:Just before the plague monsters devoured her, she was strangely calm and, for the first time ever, conceded that her sister was not only the rightful Queen of Demon World, but that she actually ''deserved'' it and that Morrian herself could never survive in that position.]] |
| 379 | * PosthumousCharacter: Not Morrian herself [[spoiler:initially]], but rather her aide, Aslan. While she is by no means [[TheGhost an unseen character]], having [[spoiler:appeared in an Otherworld memory]], according to her, the aide had died of [[ThePlague L-bacterial infection]] in the District 51 incident, and Morrian has been alone since. [[spoiler:As we had said a moment ago, Aslan most likely appeared in one of the Otherworld memories. This is interesting because those memories are from different timelines, where Little Princess didn't exist. Thus, the alt-Knight that inhabited that timeline would have never been so weak that they had to be replaced, and no replacement means no Labose outbreak in D-51.]] |
| 380 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:After her HeelFaceTurn, she swiftly met her fate at the claws and teeth of an onslaught of plague monsters. Although to be fair, it's not like she could have survived even if she was a DirtyCoward: she was infected with Labose, and her days were numbered]]. |
| 381 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Shortly before her declaration of war, she opened up with a rant on ''why'' she deemed such a war necessary, directing much of her pent-up vitriol towards [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Lilith]]. She accused her of allowing Demon World to erode from the greatness of it's GloryDays into a rotting nation which is dependent on help from [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes traitors]], humans, and those disgusting [[Characters/GuardianTalesWorld12 Demon Gods]] to fight it's own wars, and that she can't even keep track of Heavenhold, it's only real weapon. |
| 382 | ** Even Priscilla wasn't spared her wrath. When the half-vampire warned her that, without everyone working together, [[DividedWeFall Demon World stands no chance against the Invaders]], Morrian rebuked rather harshly: |
| 383 | --->'''Morrian:''' [[WhileYouWereInDiapers "Stay out of this. You don't even know what war is, you little half-vampire brat."]] |
| 384 | * TheResenter: She doesn't believe that Lilith deserves the success that she has and believes her to be a horrible ruler of Demon World, and thus she believes that [[TheUsurper if she were to seize control of the central government]] [[KlingonPromotion militarily]] and replace her as Queen of Demon World, she could lead the country back into the Golden rays of it's past glory. Furthermore, some of her notes suggest that her frustration was partially born of [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]], for once she had the dream of becoming the Queen of Demon World and a greater ruler then her grandfather, only to have that dream seized away from her by Lilith. This resentment morphed into an unhealthy obsession of Lilith, and a desire for revenge. [[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBastard All of this of course makes her a highly susceptible target for the]] [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes Plague Doctor]].]] |
| 385 | * SatelliteCharacter: Lilith described her secretary, Aslan, as "following her like a shadow", and as such it came as a surprise that Morrian came to the Grand Conference alone. [[spoiler:This is because Aslan is ''dead'', and died all the way back in World 12]]. |
| 386 | * SecondPlaceIsForLosers: As per her [[AllInTheManual bio]], Morrian was by all means an [[TheAce ace]] and wise beyond her years, achieving great academic success as a student of her military academy and thoroughly trouncing all of the top cadets in an international competition. But it wasn't enough, and she still strived for more, fuelled by the one person who always managed to come out on top: [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Lilith]]. In every competition set up by their grandfather and past King of Saul, Beelzebub, no matter what she did, the future queen would always reign supreme. Morrian eventually came to the conclusion that the games were rigged, and that she never actually deserved the success she enjoyed. |
| 387 | * SiblingRivalry: She hates and resents [[AloofBigSister sister]]. And in the past, perhaps Lilith reciprocated this behavior. |
| 388 | * SuperSoldiers: [[spoiler:Using L-bacteria based [[SuperSerum super serums]] supplied by the Plague Doctor, she created appropriately described 'black-eyed soldiers' in a similar manner to the creation of Super-Invaders.]] |
| 389 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Morrian was deeply aware that she would soon perish of her fatal Labose infection, and in her final moments, she used the last of her strength to kill as many monsters as she can while delaying their advance.]] |
| 390 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: Well, loved by everyone in Saul, at any rate. |
| 391 | * VillainsDyingGrace: [[AntiVillain For a given definition of 'villain']], [[spoiler: Morrian sacrifices her life, [[RedemptionEqualsDeath shortly after her]] HeelFaceTurn, to buy time for her men and her sister.]] |
