11	!Roland
12	------
13	* ChasteHero: Somewhat. He doesn't completely shut down any advances, but he does fluster easily.
14	* ChickMagnet: World-saving partnerships aside, all the Witches end up quite fond of him.
15	* HeroesPreferSwords: Just like any other protagonists in every installment.
16	* JackOfAllStats: but can engage with a Witch to receive a large stat boost and new abilities.
17	** With a dash of MasterOfNone. Unlike most SRPG protagonists, without Engaging he's outdone in every way by specialists. This makes his DuelBoss fights (where he can't engage) surprisingly tricky if you're not adequately leveled.
18	%%* LukeIAmYourFather: with Mattias.
19	* MagicKnight: Called this word-for-word by Sophia.
20	* PowerDyesYourHair: After completing trial to become a master, his hair changed into what appears to be gray.
21	* PowersInTheFirstEpisode: by accident.
22
23	!Rasche
24	------
25	%%* BoisterousBruiser
26	%%* DeadpanSnarker
27	* DeathFromAbove: His Flash Drive's last move.
28	* FantasticRacism: He has a dim view of Witches and expresses this to their face on occasion.
29	* FieryRedhead: Rasche is one of the more temperamental characters, and has red hair.
30	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
31	* TheLancer: He's Roland's steadiest companion, but tends to be far more brusque and less prone to showing sympathy for their enemies.
32	* MightyGlacier: He can pack a punch with his lance of his, but has the lowest attack order tied with Luna.
33	* SpamAttack: His flash drive consists of numerous lance thrusts.
34	* YouKilledMyFather: He has this attitude towards [[spoiler:Matthias]] due to the latter's role in [[spoiler:the death of his father]]. Rasche's animosity continues after [[spoiler:Matthias dies and the party finds out he was, in a fashion, trying to save the world]], with Rasche getting mad at his compatriots having a CryForTheDevil moment.
35
36	!Rina
37	------
38	* CainAndAbel: She develops this dynamic with [[spoiler:her brother Steiner after he turns against the party. Steiner at one point offers to spare her if she leaves the group. She refuses]].
39	* DifficultButAwesome: Her Shadow Shot skill can only target enemies that are exactly five or six spaces away from her in a straight line, making it difficult to position properly, and it comes with an accuracy penalty. It also gives her the best reach of any physical attacker and hits as hard as a Flash Drive.
40	* FriendlySniper: The very first sniper to join your party.
41	%%* GenkiGirl
42	* LethalChef: She once baked cookies using salt (she chose the wrong ingredient) during an intermission, and you had to be honest for the best break.
43	* MagikarpPower: She starts off rather weak in all stats but accuracy, but she can become a very good damage dealer if she's levelled up enough to learn her Loop Shot and Shadow Shot skills.
44	* NoArcInArchery: Averted in a way. Her Loop Shot skill shows her shooting at an angle with increased power but lowered accuracy.
45	* SweetTooth: After arriving in Mistia for the first time, she and Pip finished eating 128 ice cream flavors and later to 256 in their second visit.
46	%%* {{Tomboy}}
47	* WideEyedIdealist: She believes that Roland, Rasche, Steiner, and herself can always be as good of friends as they were in childhood. The other three are skeptical, [[spoiler:and she ultimately turns out to be wrong]].
48	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Her parents died in a fire, and she seems to see every open flame as black.
49	* YouKilledMyFather: to [[spoiler: Bharva]]
50
51	!Kaph
52	------
53	* BrokenPedestal: PlayedForLaughs. Most of the Witches are fans of his work, but are significantly creeped out in person.
54	* ButtMonkey: Though some of what he says and does suggests he invites the abuse he gets so the others can let off steam and think properly.
55	* CutenessProximity: He's a normal, if pretentious and slightly [[LargeHam over-the-top]] artist most of the time, but becaomes a fawning sycophant when he detects a Witch.
56	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Everybody in the party finds him an annoyance due to his fawning over Witches.
57	* InstrumentOfMurder: his guitar gun.
58	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Or more accurately, dumbass with a brain. Despite his fawning over Witches, he's legitimately skilled in (at least) sculpture, photography and dressmaking.
59	* LargeHam
60	* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Used for a MythologyGag when he says he seems drawn to minor character Cecillia. [[spoiler: veterans of the first game will recognize her as a blatant {{Expy}} of Cecille, the Twilight Witch in hr sealed form.]]
61	* {{Otaku}}: If his class and his overall behavior when a witch is around don't tick you off.
62	* ScaryShinyGlasses
63	* StatusInflictionAttack: His first three skills allow him to silence, confuse, or paralyze enemies.
64	* TooKinkyToTorture
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Witches]]
68
69	!Althea
70	------
71	* ACupAngst: She isn't a total washboard, but, in an illustration, Althea is seen being rather jealous at [[BuxomBeautyStandard Fatima's buxom figure]].
72	* BreakTheCutie: The latter half of the game put Althea through the ringer, with her [[spoiler:finding out she isn't actually human, but a beast fiend]]. It gets bad enough that she [[spoiler:tries to kill herself]].
73	* ClingyJealousGirl: During the Fatima route, her jealousy at her former enemy's growing relationship with Roland eventually causes [[spoiler: her beast fiend blood to take control, resulting in an EvilMakeover and causing her to attack the party.]]
74	* CombatMedic: Most of her magic is offensive, but she also learned Resurrection.
75	* CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler: She is a beast fiend.]]
76	* TheDeterminator: I will be the Mage Queen!
77	* DrivenToSuicide: She attempts to [[spoiler:kill herself rather than endanger everyone in both routes. She survives due to ThePowerOfLove on her own route or Fatima's intervention on the latter's route]].
78	* {{Expy}}: Look similar to Adele Nevanlinna from ''VideoGame/ArcRiseFantasia'' up to [[spoiler:Yandere point in Fatima route]]. She come back fine though.
79	%%* FieryRedhead
80	%%* PlayingWithFire
81	* RedOniBlueOni: the red oni to Fatima's blue oni.
82	* SphereOfDestruction: Ignis Blaze
83	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:in Fatima's path]]
84	* TomatoInTheMirror: She eventually learns that she is [[spoiler: a construct-clone, created by Elicia and stolen by Ayane]].
85	* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: In Fatima's path, her jealousy temporarily causes her to lose control of her beast fiend nature and attack the party]].
86
87	!Fatima, the Shadow Frost Witch
88	------
89	[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fatima_4519.png]]
90
91	* AnIcePerson: She's a Shadow Frost Magic, being able to use [[CastingAShadow dark magic]] as well as ice magic.
92	* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a sizable bust, which is emphasized by the NavelDeepNeckline on her outfit. This is also one of the reasons why [[ACupAngst Athea is jealous of her]].
93	* CastingAShadow: She's a Shadow Frost Magic, being able to use dark magic as well as [[AnIcePerson ice magic]].
94	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She is a socially rejected person in the past, and states that she has always been alone.
95	%%* DeadpanSnarker
96	* DiscOneFinalBoss: She's one of the main antagonists in the first part of the game, and is fought as a boss before Bharva's true intentions are discovered.
97	* DualBoss: Usually with Josie, and later with [[spoiler: Mattias]]
98	* IOweYouMyLife: To Master Mattias, for definitely being the first person to reach out to her despite her status as a social reject.
99	%%* IceQueen: This should have been very obvious.
100	* ElementalWeapon: Her primary weapon is a whip that is made of ice.
101	%%** DefrostingIceQueen
102	%%* KillItWithIce
103	%%* LadyOfBlackMagic
104	* MoralityPet: The fact [[spoiler: Master Mattias]] still genuinely cares for her is the biggest sign [[spoiler: he's not totally AxeCrazy]].
105	* NavelDeepNeckline: Her witch outfit leaves both her cleavage and navel exposed.
106	* PointyEars: Has them, though no one seems to notice them or find them strange.
107	%%* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Althea's red oni.
108	* SacredFirstKiss: She awkwardly reveals [[spoiler:Roland got it]].
109	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Well, let's see here... The upper part of her outfit barely conceals her body, her skirt doesn't even cover her bare thighs, and if it wasn't for that cape, we would definitely see her shapely butt.
110	%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
111	%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
112	%%* TheStoic: For most of the time.
113	%%* {{Tsundere}}
114	* WhipOfDominance: PlayedWith. She's a HotWitch who uses a [[ElementalWeapon ice whip]] as her weapon of choice, which initially seems to fits her as a villainous IceQueen with a dark, {{Stripperiffic}} outfit resembles a dominatrix. But when she joins the party and [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosts]] she's revealed to actually be socially awkward and somewhat shy.
115
116	!Dia, the Brilliant Witch
117	------
118	[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dia_7776.png]]
119	* BeamSpam: Her flash drive, and some abilities.
120	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: One magic academy student mentions sneaking into her lecture, despite not being a student of Light magic.
121	%%* HotTeacher
122	%%* LightEmUp
123	* NoSenseOfDirection: The first time she joins the party to find Luna, she wound up directing everyone to Pop's house, which is located on a ''different region''.
124	* ObfuscatingStupidity: While she never comes off as completely stupid, Dia is much better at pushing buttons than her demeanor would suggest. She even manipulates Sadie by making appeals that a sociopath like her would respond to.
125	* SweetTooth: Most apparent in her intermissions, when she rewards correct pop quiz answers with candy, and it absolutely thrilled when Roland offers her a limited-edition chocolate bar.
126
127	!Luna, the Tide Witch
128	------
129	[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lunala2_8641.png]]
130	* CompanionCube: She seems quite attached to the Enigmatron.
131	* GeniusDitz: Slightly silly airhead that one could mistake for being high. Also a master of ancient languages and cryptography.
132	%%* HotTeacher
133	* ImprobableWeaponUser: A pair of fans
134	%%* MakingASplash
135	* TheMedic: Though can still be used offensively
136	* ScarfOfAsskicking: What credidentials she lacks in asskicking are made up by her 'scarf' being a ribbon of water she levitates around with her.
137	%%* ShrinkingViolet
138	%%* SquishyWizard
139	* WaterIsWomanly: The calm, shy Tide Witch in an elegant outfit.
140
141	!Potpourri "Pop", the Verdure Witch
142	------
143	* ActualPacifist: Tries to be this, following in the footsteps of the predecessor she idolizes. She later drops this after realizing her interpretation of the teachings was painfully one-dimensional.
144	* ACupAngst: Feel intimidated when she see Dia and Luna in their bathsuit.
145	%%* BrattyHalfPint
146	* CuteBruiser: Physically the strongest Witch, though she uses magic to pull it off.
147	%%* GirlishPigtails
148	* GreenThumb: All her magic incorporates plants.
149	* ImprobableWeaponUser: A giant lotus pod, used like a TelephonePolearm
150	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Crabs, in any form. She'll even eat ''crab gelato''.
151	* TurnInYourBadge: Dia strips her of her Nature Crest and title at one point. [[spoiler: Or tries to, anyway; Pop simply runs off. Dia doesn't press the issue, since it was nothing more than a last resort to strong-arm her cooperation.]]
152
153	!Phillip "Pip"
154	------
155	%%* AdorablyPrecociousChild
156	%%* BlushSticker
157	* HealerSignsOnEarly: Joins in chapter 6, out of 30.
158	* HealingFactor: His last spell, Regen Mass, gives party members including himself (if he's in the range) ability to regain HP at the start of their turn.
159	* ImprobableWeaponUser: A giant whisk
160	* TheMedic: Sturdier and faster than Luna, but his healing is less potent.
161	%%* SupremeChef
162	* SweetTooth: To the point that he'll try 128 flavors of ice-cream in a sitting. He's on the way of tasting twice the amount of flavors on the group's second visit but was stopped by Roland.
163	* UnexplainedAccent: Pip has a British accent for some reason.
164	%%* WingdingEyes: sometimes
165
166	!Sadie, the Breeze Witch
167	------
168	%%* BlowYouAway
169	* BrokenBird: Being the only one surviving among witches who sealed Mattias (not to mention she's [[LastOfHisKind the last Winged One]]) in a world where winged creatures like her were shunned, No. wonder she chose to live alone. Thankfully, people's reaction 15 years after the incident was better.
170	* CuddleBug: She really likes to deliver this to Josie, and the reaction is to be expected.
171	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Roland has to beat her in a fight before she'll cooperate with him. Even then, she;s the only one she'll listen to.
172	* FragileSpeedster: Has high attack order with adequate magic power, but has low health.
173	* FreakinessShame: She was at first worried that people may shun her because of her wings, but as she is the last of her kind, people find her wings cute or otherwise think that they are fake.
174	%%* MagicSkirt
175	* MusicalAssassin: She uses trumpet as her weapon.
176	* OlderThanTheyLook: Possibly ReallySevenHundredYearsOld; she's never given an actual age, but she;s almost certainly the third-oldest party member.
177	** Lampshaded when she says at one point that looking up her skirt won't achieve much.
178	%%* SquishyWizard
179	* TheSociopath: Sadie shows distinct sociopathic tendencies (selfishness, lack of empathy, telling the blunt truth). Interestingly, a big deal isn't made out of this, the others simply accept it's how she is and Dia even show she knows quite well how to get through to one (appealing directly to Sadie's self-interest by [[spoiler: talking up how powerful Roland is and challenging her to a fight to alleviate her boredom, staking her cooperation on the outcome.]] It works.)
180	* TheTease: She makes [[spoiler: Uniting]] sound like it involves nothing less than a DeusSexMachina. [[spoiler:Roland]] only realizes it's not when she stops at a kiss.
181	* WindIsGreen: And her hair, eyes and outfit are all green.
182	%%* WingedHumanoid
183
184	!Josie
185	------
186	%%* CatsAreMean
187	* ImprobableWeaponUser: A fishbone.
188	* InsistentTerminology: Feline Familiar. Despite even the manual calling him an "[[BuffySpeak undead cat thing]]".
189	* LogicBomb: Happens when [[spoiler: he's sent to assassinate an incapacitated Althea and discovers Roland, who very much does not want her dead, has become a Master. Faced with two masters with contradictory wishes, he freaks out and leaves without even putting up a fight]].
190	%%* NonHumanSidekick
191	%%* OcularGushers
192	* OlderThanTheyLook: He's been serving Masters for thousands of years. Sadie explains he still seems a bit dim because despite millenia of experience, he was never very intelligent.
193	%%* SlasherSmile
194	%%* StatusInflictionAttack: his specialty.
195	* VerbalTic: Meow. Lampshaded when he announces himself from hiding, and in response to the immediate cry of "Who's that?" asks if they know anyone else who says "meow".
196
197	!Ayano
198	------
199	%%* AntiMagic: [[spoiler:Specializes in it.]]
200	* ChewingTheScenery: [[InvokedTrope Does this intentionally]] while [[PaperThinDisguise posing]] as a fortune teller.
201	%%* CoolBigSis
202	%%* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:Her shadows]]
203	* GlassCannon: Fast, hits hard, and very fragile. Her evasion and self-buff (it increases accuracy and evasion) help somewhat.
204	* IaijutsuPractitioner: Even has an attack called "Iai slash". Turn-based format aside, she's fast enough to give [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara Mitsunari Ishida]] a run for his money - some of her attacks are so quick they ''don't even leave SwordLines''. [[spoiler: Justified in that she's not human and has had a lot of time to practice. [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld "Four thousand years of power..."]]]]
205	%%* {{Ninja}}
206	* PaperThinDisguise: Uses one to [[spoiler: direct Roland towards Mt. Wynzard]]. It's painfully obvious who she is, but it's also implied she uses magic to make it stick.
207	%%* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
208	%%* ScarfOfAsskicking
209	%%* {{Stripperiffic}}
210	%%* WhoWantsToLiveForever
211	[[/folder]]
212
213	[[folder:Royal Carnava]]
214
215	!Sophia
216	------
217	%%* BigGood: Most of the time.
218	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She makes some decisions that put her at odds with the protagonists, or even outright makes the situation worse, but believes she's doing the right thing. [[spoiler: Additionally, the only reason she makes these decisions is due to being fed bad information. Once TheMole is excised, she immediately start correcting her mistakes.]]
219	%%* TheHighQueen
220	%%* UnwittingPawn: to [[spoiler:Bharva]]
221
222	!Gaston
223	------
224	%%* AFatherToHisMen
225	%%* CoolOldGuy
226	%%* MightyGlacier
227	%%* StoneWall: His stats pretty much sums it well.
228	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Hesitantly questions some of Sophia's decisions, but firmly believes it's his place to carry out her orders, whatever they are.
229
230	!Richter
231	------
232	* BloodKnight: In fact, his main concern if Roland is gone is that he never had a chance to fight him in single combat.
233	* ChickMagnet: Girls in the group note that if his fanclub were opened, girls around the kingdom would instantly join.
234	* JOustingLance: On the contrary with Rasche's spear, he uses a knight lance.
235	* LightningBruiser: His attack is fairly good. Besides, he has the highest attack order among the party members.
236
237	!Steiner
238	------
239	* AloofBigBrother: Downplayed; He's still nice to his sister but otherwise engulfs himself in his Runic Engine research.
240	%%* AmbitionIsEvil
241	* CavalryBetrayal: [[spoiler:when he and his squad appeared and sent Bharva running, they then proceed to arrest Roland and others.]]
242	* DualWielding: He apparently uses twin sabers.
243	%%* GreenEyedMonster
244	* LightEmUp: After installing runic engine, he can use light magic.
245	%%* MadScientist
246	%%* MagicKnight
247	* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Interesting example, as he uses this to claim moral superiority while flagrantly acting like a ''total dick''.
248	%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath
249	%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: after seeing [[spoiler: Bharva]]
250	* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:trying to nuke Bharva, and killing himself in the process from HeroicRROD. Bharva gets back up soon afterwards.]]
251	** [[spoiler: Well, he didn't know it was senseless at the time, and he came closer to killing Bharva than anyone else had up to that point. That he came back from that was a shock to everyone.]]
252
253	!Steven
254	------
255	* BerserkButton: Saying anything bad about Mattias in front of him.
256	%%* CoolOldGuy
257	%%* DrillSergeantNasty
258	%%* FatherToHisMen
259	%%* SenselessSacrifice
260	%%* TakeCareOfTheKids
261
262
263	!Mattias
264	------
265	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:Near the Conclusion Gate]]
266	* BecomingTheMask: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremism]] aside, [[spoiler: he takes sadistic delight in filling the Demon Blade, even forcing his old friends to watch as he slaughters their men. It may be a result of the [[ArtifactOfDoom cursed weapon]] affecting his mind.]]
267	%%* DiscOneFinalBoss
268	* DualBoss: usually with Fatima and Josie
269	* DuelBoss: [[spoiler: Roland have to fight him in single combat to obtain the True Demon Blade]]
270	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He killed people to fill the Demon Blade with souls so that no one else would suffer the guilt for it. Later, it becomes a true HeroicSacrifice when he throws himself between Bharva and Roland.]]
271	%%* LargeHam
272	%%* LukeIAmYourFather
273	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:filling the Demon Blade with souls, saving a lot of work for Bharva.]]
274	%%* WellIntentionedExtremist
275	[[/folder]]
276
277	[[folder:Rosetta Rosso]]
278	!Karen
279	------
280	%%* BrokenBird
281	* FantasticRacism: She has no qualms about stealing a Witch's lapistier. Note this this is fatal and apparently very painful.[[spoiler:Though she will return it to the owner if it isn't the Rune Nullifier]]
282	%%* TheGunslinger
283	%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge
284	%%* {{Tsundere}}
285	* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Bharva in the guise of Wendell killed her parents, and took the credit for her father's research.]]
286
287	!Ace
288	------
289	%%* CasanovaWannabe
290	%%* ChivalrousPervert
291	* NonActionGuy: Justified, he's too useful as a runner and scout and implied to be subpar in combat.

293	!Moose
294	------
295	%%* TheEngineer
296	%%* GeniusDitz
297	%%* MadScientist
298	* NonActionGuy: Again justified, he can build useful machines but can't fight himself.
299	* UnexplainedAccent: Averted, his German accent is explained as him having studied engineering overseas.

302	[[folder:Beast Fiends - '''Warning: Contains Major Unmarked Spoilers''']]

304	!Bharva
305	------
306	[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bharva_8442.png]]
307	* BaitAndSwitchBoss: His first appearance
308	* BreathWeapon: And the AI knows very well how to use its conical target area to great effect.
309	%%* CanisMajor
310	%%* TheDragon: To Elicia
311	%%* LargeHam
312	%%* ManipulativeBastard
