9 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[PinkBoyBlueGirl Blue Girl Pink Boy?]]]] |
10 | * AllWorkVsAllPlay: Alk's all work vs. Ilke's all play. |
11 | * AmbiguousGender: they look really alike, if it wasn't for Ilke being a [[AnIcePerson Frost Child]] she and Alk would look just the same. |
12 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: According to Sir Thomas. |
13 | %%* BadassFamily |
14 | %%* BadassAdorable |
15 | %%* BadassLongcoat |
16 | * BrotherSisterTeam |
17 | * [[ChildMage Child Mages]]: Even though Ilke has her frost powers included, Alk does know some fire and light magic. Sha-ra also taught them simple levitation spells to make small objects fly. |
18 | * [[TheChosenOne The Chosen Ones]]: Gyldendal translates the 1st book's title(Profetiens Utvalgte) to Prophecy's Chosen Ones. |
19 | ** [[spoiler:ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne]]: and how! |
20 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: both has this, but Ilke has it more. |
21 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: the prophecy book tells nothing of them saving their family. |
22 | ** [[spoiler: They eventually do it anyway.]] |
23 | ** [[spoiler: But even though they save countless people, they still can't save [[TeamDad Sha-ra]]…]] |
24 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: they have no idea what to do with their lives when they complete their mission. |
25 | * FacialMarkings: Given to them by their real father, it's the mark of the elf chieftain, elves aren't allowed to have them anymore under the mortok's rule though. |

27 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot |
28 | * HairContrastDuo |
29 | * HarmfulToMinors: [[spoiler:they hear an old man getting eaten...]] |
30 | * HappilyAdopted: by Sha-ra |
31 | * HalfIdenticalTwins: they would if Ilke wasn't a [[AnIcePerson Frost Child]]. |
32 | ** {{Lampshaded}} by Khiri. "They look really alike when they sleep". |
33 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: Some tribes are more than willing to sell them out to the villains so their towns won't be ruined... |
34 | * JustAKid: it's even really important to the story. |
35 | * IcyBlueEyes / InnocentBlueEyes |
36 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: at least in the beginning. While Ilke likes to fight, is Alk withdrawn and spends most of his time reading. |
37 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They look a lot like Creator/KristenStewart and Creator/RobertPattinson on the [[http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/3423625074/ german cover of book 7]] for some reason. |
38 | * [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness OOC Is Serious Business]]: and how! It's even used for one of their trials..! |

46 | |
47 | !! Alk |
48 | [[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alk_3676.gif]][[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alkger_2239.png]] |

50 | [[caption-width-right:173:[[labelnote:Click to see baby Alk]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbalk_7329.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
51 | Alk is the main character and the wielder of [[CoolSword Kheiko]]. He's usually calm and responsible. |
52 | ----- |
53 | * AntiMagic: Magic doesn't work at him. |
54 | * BadassBookworm |
55 | * BigBrotherInstinct: for Ilke even though she's the older twin. |
56 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Jolsah |
57 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: with Mjam. |
58 | * ChildMage: knows some spells. |
59 | * DubNameChange: To Alak in the German translations. Is thankfully still called Alk in the TV-series script according to [[https://twitter.com/PhenomenaWriter/status/474508446675783681 PhenomenaWriter]], still called Alke on the Creator/FilmedImagination [[http://filmedimagination.com/projects/phenomena.html page]]. |
60 | * HearingVoices: Alk hears Kheiko's voice inside his head, he hates it in the beginning. |
61 | * IdiotHair: He has a small one and some artists love to draw attention to it. Makes that he's TheSmartGuy of the TwoGirlsAndAGuy group even funnier. |
62 | * InterspeciesRomance: Mijam, who is not an elf. |
63 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: on some of the art. |
64 | * LuminescentBlush: He's mentioned to blush often when he talks to girls. Some of {{fanon}} sees this as SomethingElseAlsoRises. |
65 | * MagicKnight |
66 | * [[spoiler:{{Mangst}}: From the 6th book when Sha-ra dies, it gets [[FromBadToWorse worse]] when Ilke dies.]] |
67 | * OfficialCouple: with Mijam |
68 | ** UptightLovesWild |
69 | * PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: Mijam's |
70 | * PlayingWithFire: His main element. |
71 | * PrincessClassic: RareMaleExample. Can talk to animals, is nice, feminine while not {{camp}}, [[{{bishonen}} pretty]], is a good fighter when needed to but not the best and is saved by his sword, and reffered to by royal titles, even though he doesn't really have earned them yet. |
72 | * RedOniBlueOni: blue to [[{{Irony}} Ilke]], Mlillian, Arol and Jolsah, red to Sha-ra and Kheiko. |
73 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: the sensitive guy to Azur, Arol and Jolsah's manly men personalities. |
74 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Can talk to any kind of animal. |
75 | ** [[SuddenlyFluentInGibberish Suddenly Fluent In Gibberish]]/[[SuddenlyBilingual Suddenly Bilingual]]: he can understand any kind of language, [[spoiler:even Norwegian, English and even memes, but he wont translate the memes Millian comes with to the others since he thinks it's too hard to explain.]] |
76 | * TookALevelInJerkAss: [[spoiler:In the end of book 7, he takes Ilke's pendant off. While this is jerkish on it's own, is it sorta understandable due to them being in the coldest place mentioned so far in the story. But what makes it's truly jerkish and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out of character]] is that he takes it on himself (who grew up with long winters and Ilke so he can handle cold better than most), even though his girlfriend Mijam who grew up in a warm ''desert'' is there with him, the usual Alk would have given it to Mijam right away.]] |
77 | * TwoGirlsAndAGuy: the guy. |
78 | * [[spoiler:UnstoppableRage: after Ilke is killed.]] |
79 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: has no idea what love is when he falls for Mijam. |
80 | !!! In the comic: |
81 | * BadassCape: AND |
82 | * BadassLongcoat: For whatever reason |
83 | * BareFistedMonk: As Kheiko is nowhere to be seen in the artwork. |
84 | * {{Expy}}: Designvise of [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zuko]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY and]] [[Franchise/StarWars Luke]] for whatever reason seemingly. |
85 | * GoodScarsEvilScars |
86 | * HandicappedBadass: Has a burn over his his right eye, most likely making him blind on that eye. |
87 | |
88 | !! Ilke |
89 | [[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ilke_9168.gif]][[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ilkeger_3502.png]] |
90 | [[caption-width-right:187:German design]] |
91 | [[caption-width-right:173:[[labelnote:Click to see baby Ilke]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bbilke_3698.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
92 | Ilke is the more curious of the two and easily gets herself in trouble. She often refuses to admit it when she's scared, even when she cries. Being RaisedByDudes without any real mother or big sister figure in her life, is she clearly a {{Tomboy}}. On their journey when they meet women she does pick up a few traits from them. Has a huge love for mothers, almost to the point of LesYay, and really enjoys their scent and tone of voice. |
93 | |
94 | She does not have much control of her powers in the beginning, causing her to hurt Alk badly once. But once she can control them does she mainly use them to help rather than to fight. She is the most fighting for SlaveLiberation, seeing a slave causes her to free them. She can however be shy around strangers and then Alk has to talk for her. Got an [[InvisibleToNormals invincibility cloak]] from the Air Prophets which she's really proud of. |
95 | ----- |
96 | * ActionGirl |
97 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Her ShipTease with Jolsah is mostly from his side. Yet does it seem that she LikesOlderWomen by her over-attraction to mothers, and a slightly PseudoRomanticFriendship with Millian that sorta resembles [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra and Asami's]] [[spoiler:(before they ended up as the OfficialCouple)]], except in that Millian is in love with [[FishPeople Azur]], [[spoiler:and they (Millian and Azur) become a couple, if it'll last is yet to be seen]]. [[NatureSpirit Hisj]] has shown some interest in a WifeHusbandry way only to be told by her that she doesn't belong to anyone. And with Norwegian sharing words for both girlfriend and boyfriend, kjæreste (word he used for partner), meaning 'dearest', it does stand as ambiguous. |
98 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: can be said for both, [[spoiler:and according to Sir Thomas would they be diagnosed with it if they lived on Earth,]] but Ilke has it more clearly. |
99 | * BadassAdorable |
100 | * BareFistedMonk: Combined with frost magic. |
101 | * BrilliantButLazy: Sleeps in class but knows much of the things Alk thought only he caught up. |
102 | * CharacterDevelopment: she grows from being a "fearless" {{Tomboy}} who never admits being scared, to a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who speaks more openly about her own feelings, including fear. |
103 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Jolsah and Mijam. |
104 | * ConsummateLiar: A very mild example of this in the first book. Gets rid of it after some CharacterDevelopment. |
105 | * [[RavenHairIvorySkin Dark Blue Hair Pale Blue Skin]]: Well, at least according to the [[http://www.amazon.de/dp/3423623977/ref=rdr_ext_tmb German covers]] |
106 | * [[WinterRoyalLady Daugher of the Frost(Frostens Datter)]] |
107 | * [[spoiler:[[DeadGuyOnDisplay Dead Girl On Display]]: type 1]] |
108 | * DefrostingIceQueen: subverted |
109 | * {{Deuteragonist}} |
110 | * FreakinessShame: Implied that she feels this about her being blue and all deep down, but hides it behind a [[StepfordSmiler smile]]. |
111 | * [[AnIcePerson Frost Child]] |
112 | * GenkiGirl |
113 | * HatesBeingAlone |
114 | * ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: according to WordOfGod this is what she is looking for in an eventual partner. Someone who's as strong as herself. Finding that won't be easy. |
115 | * [[spoiler:JeanneDArchetype: she even dies, if it's final is up to the fans.]] |
116 | * MiddleChildSyndrome: She is [[spoiler: the older twin but Alk acts [[BigBrotherInstinct older]] and he's the main protagonist]], so he gets more attention both from the story and Sha-ra. And then we got Akai, their little brother who off course gets more attention from their biological parents.]] |
117 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: [[PlayingWithATrope played with]], as she wasn't born as a frost child. |
118 | * PowerDyesYourHair: changed when Hish took her. |
119 | * RaisedByDudes |
120 | * RedOniBlueOni: the red to Alk's blue. |
121 | * ShipTease: With Jolsah sometimes, but it's mostly one sided from him. |
122 | ** InterspeciesRomance: In that case since he's a mortok. |
123 | * ShipperOnDeck: apparently ships Alk/Mijam in the 1st, and also ships Millian/Azur, even though she's hinted to be a YaoiFangirl that ships Alk/Jolsah in the 7th, which is odd considering that Alk is her brother and Jolsah is her ImpliedLoveInterest... but then again YaoiFangirl shipping aren't logical. |
124 | * SlaveLiberation: A |
125 | * TheThreeFacesofEve: The Child. |
126 | * {{Tomboy}}: [[JustifiedTrope just]][[RaisedByDudes ified]] |
127 | ** TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She begins becoming a little more feminine when she hangs out with Mijam, and becomes even more feminine when Millian joins them. |
128 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth |
129 | * TownGirls: The butch. |
130 | * TwoGirlsAndAGuy: One of the girls. |
131 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: with Jolsah sometimes, mostly from his side. |
132 | * YaoiFangirl: hinted, since she pretty much [[{{Squee}} squees]] when she sees Alk and Jolsah [[ManHug hug]]. |
133 | !!! In the comic: |
134 | * AdaptationDyeJob: She has a case of PowerDyesYourHair in the books, but she's in or at least [[YoungerThanTheyLook looks]] like she's in her 20s in the comic, and has blonde hair. |
135 | * BraidsOfAction |
136 | * CleavageWindow: For whatever reason. |
137 | * {{Expy}}: Turn her skin peach and her hair brown and you got [[Franchise/StarWars Leia]] in some designs, the company making the comic are huge ''Franchise/StarWars'' fans and it shows a little too well. |
138 | * HollywoodCostuming: If you look at the artwork on this page you'll see that the characters' clothes fit the 19th century for not being too old yet not too new. Even Alk's comic self fit that theme. Comic!Ilke however… looks like a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation blue]] HumanAlien from a sci-fi comic or even the foreigners in ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' rather than an elf from a fantasy comic. |
139 | * HotterAndSexier |
140 | * MsFanservice |
141 | [[/folder]] |
142 | |
143 | |
144 | [[folder:Closest Friends]] |
145 | |
146 | Tropes that fit all of them: |
147 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: |
148 | ** Sha-ra [[spoiler:saw his mother die of an illness at a young age. His father then sent him and his brother away to a wizard who was turning crazy. Sha-ra bacame the favorite of the wizard, his brother got jealous and burned the castle to the ground with their teacher inside. He was then HappilyAdopted by the Winter Bears, but it's implied much happened after that, which wasn't necisarily good.]] |
149 | ** Arol [[spoiler:was going to visit Sha-ra with his brother and father, but on their way they were killed and skinned by the mortoks, happily Sha-ra saved Arol, but he still has SurvivorGuilt and HatesBeingAlone because of it.]] |
150 | ** Azur's is shown in his spin-off. [[spoiler:He meets Ezau when he's swimming around and Ezau convinces him to come to a grotto they have been told is dangerous. When he enters Ezau makes sure he can't leave by normal means. Azur then searches for an exit in the dark being more and more frightned. After a long while he finds a omnious mace which Ezau tells him he wants. When he touches it, he can't let it go. When he leaves the Kraken follows him. When he returns to the village he gets banished until he can get rid of the mace as it's can be dangerous to the village. He goes to the surface and he's captured. The mace is forced from his hand and he's made a slave. The ship is destroyed by the kraken and another slave ship collects him and the others. He's freed by Ilke and escapes, his chains are broken by Ezau who has become a terraquz of his own free will. He only comes to a desert, his body dries up and sanity slips, and he's in a desperate state when Alk and Ilke meets him again]]. |
151 | ** Millian [[spoiler:and her mother was left by their father who was going to protect them from her EvilUncle. Her father was then killed by him (his own brother). Years later said uncle caught her and her mother. He beat up and abused her mother the same place he boasted about killing her father in. She was found almost dead in her mother's arms, and had King Veha come 1 minute later she probably would've been dead.]] Because of that she has no problem with killing. |
152 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: they're all much older than the twins in some way. |

165 | ** [[spoiler:They're more like a JacobAndEsau dynamic actually, more so than Azur and [[{{Irony}} Ezau]], with both their father and teacher favoring Sha-ra, and their mother understanding that Mentor isn't that strong so she favors him and takes better care of him.]] |

168 | * [[spoiler: DragonRider: he was the 1st dragon knight!]] |

176 | * [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment: his father left him when his mother died.]] |

[[spoiler: One don't get to see Mentor's ears either so it's hard to tell.]] |

189 | ----- |
190 | * BadassAdorable: well, at least by [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss Tear's]] standards. |
191 | * BareFistedMonk: being a bear and all. |
192 | * BearsAreBadNews: {{Averted}}, he is one of the nicest characters, [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes as long you do not hurt]] Alk and Ilke, or insult his dead friends. |
193 | * BigBrotherMentor: For Alk and Ilke |
194 | * [[CallARabbitASmeerp Calling a Polar Bear Winterbear]] |
195 | ** Still sometimes called a polar bear. |

198 | * {{Expy}}: of [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-Bear-King-Valemon White-Bear-King-Valemon]] to some extent, being a royal polar bear and all. The TV serieswill use this to save money and elaborates this futher by also making Arol a ShapeShifter. |

209 | |

211 | https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azur_237.png |
212 | Azur used to be a normal, if not bored, sea man. But was eventually captured. While in the slave tent, is he freed by Ilke. Due to being captured is he no longer allowed to return to the sea so he sets for [[SandIsWater the desert]], where he slowly turns into a terraqus. Later he sees the other terraqusses capturing Alk and Ilke. He gives them the ability to breathe under sand and begs for their lives.
