| 8 | !! Lucius and His Disciples |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[folder:Lucius]] |
| 11 | -->'''Mock Unit:''' Sealed God Lucius |
| 12 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravefrontier_lucius.png]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The God of the Gate, and the one who summons the player to Grand Gaia. He questions you of your name, and gives you a starter unit to aid you on your journey. He's usually seen as a floating green orb, and appears every time to talk to you after you finish a region or two. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AmbiguousGender: He is officially stated to be genderless. |
| 17 | * BadBoss: [[spoiler:Despite all the loyalty His disciples showed to Him, He abandoned Melord in Ishgria [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once he's done sealing Karna Masta]], and disregarded Tilith's feelings on [[FinalSolution His plans for humanity]] once she found out. Ark, of course, was merely threatened into working for him.]] |
| 18 | * BigGood: He brought the Summoner (which is you) over to Grand Gaia and its related territories so they could help kill some monsters. [[spoiler:[[EvilAllAlong Or, at least initially.]]]] |
| 19 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: As a God, He operates on this. [[spoiler: And considering His reasons why He eventually became hostile to humanity...]] |
| 20 | * TheFaceless: Due to being mostly seen as a floating orb and all. [[spoiler:And even when you face Him, His true form still lacks a face.]] |
| 21 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of the Bariura region, and of the realm of Grand Gaia as a whole.]] |
| 22 | * GodIsGood: He's the one who summoned you to Grand Gaia so you can eliminate the Four Fallen Gods plaguing its lands, and helps you access new places through His power of controlling the world Gates. [[spoiler:Later on, however, He turns out to be a subversion, as [[GodIsEvil he's really using you]].]] |
| 23 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Lucius is, by all accounts, the one indirectly responsible for the deaths of the Twelve Guardians, the Six Heroes, and the Six Pillars, simply because he saw them all as a threat for his plans for humanity.]] |
| 24 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: |
| 25 | ** [[spoiler:He forces you and Tilith to fight each other as your punishment for not heeding His orders later in the game.]] |
| 26 | ** [[spoiler:He was responsible for trapping the Six Pillars in Ishgria to trick them into annihilating each other. However, Feeva saw through the plan and was able to force him to leave, though the Pillars were still trapped in the end.]] |
| 27 | * LightEmUp: His element. |
| 28 | * LightIsNotGood: His Element is Light and He always appears as a glowing orb of light, and is seemingly benevolent as He's the one who takes you to places so you can eventually defeat the Four Fallen Gods. His later appearance [[spoiler:as a final boss]] consists of Him appearing as an angelic, faceless, rainbow-colored being with an ornate golden halo. [[spoiler:However, His true motives and personality are anything but benevolent.]] |
| 29 | * MeaningfulName: Lucius is Latin for "light", which makes sense because his Element is Light and He always appears as a glowing orb of light. [[spoiler:But when you find out His true motives, He becomes an example of LightIsNotGood.]] |
| 30 | * NoSell: His mock unit's Leader Skill nullifies all ailments. |
| 31 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Gets two.]] |
| 32 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He plans to get rid of all humans so peace and order can be restored, and the Earth's balance won't be plagued by wars, famine, greed, and all that jazz]]. |

| 42 | |
| 43 | The first person you encounter in the game. Tilith first shows you the ropes of the gameplay, then guides you through the regions for you to reach and defeat the Four Fallen Gods in order to stop their villainy. She's also one of Lucius' Disciples. |
| 44 | ---- |
| 45 | * AllLovingHero: All incarnations of her Unit forms, especially Loving Goddess, state her as one who would accept any and all peoples and ideologies. In the main story's third arc, this trait of hers shows when she wants to [[spoiler:save Mel and Garrett from being killed in cold blood, despite them being unquestionable enemies before.]] |
| 46 | * BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler:After Lucius' defeat by your hands, the seal to Ishgria - the demon realm - opens. Tilith has to stay behind to prevent the demons from coming through while you and your friends must venture into Ishgria in order to defeat the demons before they can break through. She later comes back to help you like before, though.]] |
| 47 | * BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:After spending almost all the Ishgria storyline governing the Gate and greeting the Summoner as a floating green orb, [[ShesBack she returns in physical form]] at the end of Estria in time [[BigDamnHeroes to protect them from Mora]].]] |
| 48 | * BigGood: [[spoiler:Tilith replaces Lucius' position as the one who informs the player of the newly-opened path to the next regions of Ishgria.]] |
| 49 | * ButtMonkey: Only by voice, as she sometimes complains about the uncomfortable situation in each of the environment she's in (such as finding the Cave of Flames in Mistral to be too hot and the Magutagal Wetlands in the same region to be too sticky). |
| 50 | * CatFight: Eventually escalated to one after arguing with Seria at the end of the Amdahl region. |
| 51 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Often PlayedForLaughs in regards to her closeness towards the Summoner. |
| 52 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Very often. |
| 53 | * ElementalPowers: In the final phase of her Trial, she can use every element but dark. |
| 54 | * ExpositionFairy: In the beginning, at least. |
| 55 | * FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler:When you encounter her at the Boruk Blazing Dunes in Bariura.]] |
| 56 | * GenkiGirl: She's got a lot of pep compared to every other person in the Summoner's group of friends, if not the entire cast. |
| 57 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of the first arc, she gives up her freedom so as to maintain the seal keeping the demons in Ishgria. Thankfully, your crusade through Ishgria has allowed things to let up for Tilith to accompany you later on.]] |
| 58 | * ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:She cuts her hair short in the third story arc.]] |
| 59 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: [[spoiler:Happens when Maxwell cursed her. Fortunately, it's [[DownplayedTrope not fatal enough]] and reversible by beating Maxwell.]] |
| 60 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: At one point, she tells Seria and Karl that they should accompany the Summoner, to which Seria points out that they're busy pursuing [[ArchEnemy Graham]]. Tilith's response is essentially, "He's just going to get away like always, so you might as well accompany [Summoner] from the beginning this time!" ''Ouch''. |
| 61 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: [[spoiler:Once you get to the Boruk Blazing Dunes in Bariura, she is forced to fight you, the Summoner, thanks to Lucius. [[TakeAThirdOption However]], if you don't attack her for five turns, she'll give up and leave you victorious.]] |
| 62 | * LightEmUp: Her mock unit's element, [[spoiler:and later, her own when you battle her yourself.]] |
| 63 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:She's unaware of the existence of the true nature of Lucius' other Disciple, Ark, as well as His true plans.]] |
| 64 | * ModestyShorts: If you can see her full artwork, she wears a pair of black shorts under her dress. |
| 65 | * TheNicknamer: She's the one who shortened Lugina's name into ''Lugi''. She also called Paris "Paris-bear" during Mirvana and Lanara. And when she's informed about Owen, she immediately labeled him as ''"Little Owen"''. |
| 66 | * PluckyGirl: If she's not being upbeat, that's a bad sign. |
| 67 | * PointyEars: She has these, likely due to her nonhuman nature. |
| 68 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: While she may not act like it, she's several centuries' old, what with being a goddess. |
| 69 | * SandInMyEyes: Averted; she does not bother giving an excuse as she denies crying from [[spoiler:listening to Xenon's backstory.]] |
| 70 | * SheatheYourSword: [[spoiler:If you only guard for five turns when you fight her in the second area of Bariura, the fight automatically ends with her giving up for your victory.]] |
| 71 | * SuperPowerLottery: [[spoiler:It is revealed by Ark that Tilith's power to open and control the Gates between worlds is very rare even among the gods, and the only people to possess such power are her and Lucius himself.]] |
| 72 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: A few examples, such as: |
| 73 | ** At the end of Morgan, she returns from doing something in "Breeze Beach", which was not, according to her, competing with Selena in a beauty contest. |
| 74 | ** In Amdahl, at the beginning of "Ghost Ship Legnia", she kids about being afraid of ghosts. Screaming at a squeaking noise at the end gave it away. |
| 75 | ** In "Unholy Tower: The Cursed Princess", she denies crying from [[spoiler:listening to Xenon's backstory]] without even giving an excuse. |
| 76 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She becomes this with Seria. |
| 77 | |

| 81 | * AreaOfEffect: Her Brave Burst covers all her allies. |
| 82 | * NoSell: Her Leader Skill makes herself and her allies resistant (or immune in her later form) to ailments. |
| 83 | * SupportPartyMember: She is basically a BB Gauge filler and a healer rolled into one. |

| 86 | [[folder:Dark Figure '''(SPOILERS UNMARKED)''']] |
| 87 | -->'''Mock Units:'''\ |
| 88 | -- Ark → Oracle Knight Ark → Knight of Holy Light Ark\ |
| 89 | -- Dark Oracle Knight Ark |
| 90 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravefrontier_ark.png]] |
| 91 | |
| 92 | A mysterious figure who is seen talking with or listening to Eriole several times and is his personal aide. He later reveals himself as a Disciple of Lucius and is personally sent by Him to aid Eriole. However, he has his own agenda, one that will go against the god he serves. |
| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | * AndThenWhat: Asked this to himself upon Karna Masta's defeat. With Karna Masta's and Ilia's spirits gone for good, he has nothing to do and feels that he's "stuck in the past". |
| 95 | * CastingAShadow: He has this element when you fight him in Menon. |
| 96 | * DualWielding: With longswords. |
| 97 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He's actually the man in the original title screen of the game. |
| 98 | * HeelFaceTurn: This is the reason you never end up fighting him. He's wanted to pull this off for a long time, but was unable to due to Lucius holding his lover captive. |
| 99 | * HeroKiller: He got the '''Six Heroes''' ''killed'', and Will as well. |
| 100 | * IHaveYourWife: The only reason why Ark works for Lucius is that the God of the Gate is holding Ark's lover and protectorate, the Oracle Maiden Illia, as His hostage. |
| 101 | * KarmaHoudini: For all the questionable things he's done, including killing several key groups who would've stopped the gods from killing off humanity, Ark got away relatively clean--but he still has to fight for and find Ilia. |
| 102 | * KnightInShiningArmor: Used to be one in his time as Oracle Knight. |
| 103 | * LightEmUp: His Mock Unit's element, as well as his own. |
| 104 | * LightIsNotGood: Zigzagged. He unwillingly helped the gods to keep Ilia safe, and his past Mock Unit was Light-elemental. But when you fight him at Menon, he reveals to be Dark-elemental instead. |
| 105 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Played with. In this case even though love is ''keeping'' him on the bad guys side, it's also the only reason he's willing to turn against his master when the opportunity comes along. |
| 106 | * LoveMartyr |
| 107 | * TheMole: He spied on Eriole's movements for Lucius by pretending to be his aide. Although, Eriole isn't stupid enough to believe he's just an aide... |
| 108 | * MysteriousStranger: As the Dark Figure, he wore a [[InTheHood hood]] and a [[WhiteMaskOfDoom mask]] to hide his face until the time came to reveal his identity. [[{{Irony}} Funnily enough]], fellow disciple Melord, the one who kidnapped Ilia and got Ark into this new mess, wore the exact same disguise. |
| 109 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: By his own insistence. Unfortunately for him, Eriole tells everyone his real name as a taunt. |
| 110 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He lived during the time right before Grand Gaia was embroiled in the War of the Gods, then was made a Disciple, extending his lifespan to live until the events of the present. |
| 111 | * RecurringBoss: He's fought twice in Menon, as he tries to stop the group from destroying Karna Masta's Body because he can't let his friends' sacrifices in vain. He eventually stands down to have a talk. |
| 112 | * RequiredPartyMember: For the entirety of Mildran, you're forced to use Present Ark as a Friend until you defeat Karna Masta's Spirit. |
| 113 | * StarCrossedLovers: With Ilia, who sacrificed herself to seal away Karna Masta. |
| 114 | * TheUnfought: |
| 115 | ** In Grand Gaia, despite all of the build-ups, he only summons the [[Characters/BraveFrontierUnitsPart1 Six Heroes]] and the [[Characters/BraveFrontierUnitsPart7 Gods' Loyalists]] against the protagonists in the Tower of the Oracle at Bariura. However, he (or rather, his past self) is an OptionalBoss in Trial 007 at the Summoner's Research Lab. |
| 116 | ** Averted when you have to fight his current self in Menon. |
| 117 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: As a human-turned-Disciple, his lifespan is coming to an end. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | !!! Tropes exclusive to his Mock Units: |
| 120 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_ark1.png]] |
| 121 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here for evolutions]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bf_ark2.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 122 | * AllYourPowersCombined: As the Oracle Knight, his Ultimate Brave Burst infuses the party with all six elements for 3 turns. And one of his Omni form's SP options enables him to do so just by using his Super Brave Burst. |
| 123 | * BraggingRightsReward: [[spoiler:Ultimately, Present Ark is this, as you receive him when you defeat Karna Masta's Spirit in Mildran, and that version of his is stuck on 6-Star.]] |
| 124 | * CastingAShadow: Present Ark's element. |
| 125 | * TheDividual: [[spoiler:Past Ark's Omni form has him and Ilia fighting together as one Unit.]] |
| 126 | * DualWielding: He wields a pair of greatswords. |
| 127 | * LightEmUp: Past Ark's element. |
| 128 | * [[MyFutureSelfAndMe My Past Self and Me]]: Ark is one of the only two [=NPCs=] (the other being Mirfah) to receive two Mock Units based on his state on two different times. In Ark's case, his past self from Trial 007 is the stronger of the two, as it can be evolved to Omni form. |
| 129 | * StatusBuff: His Leader/Friend skill increase all stats, as well as Spark damage and Battle Crystal drop rate during a Spark. He also increases normal attack's hitcount in his Brave Burst and boosts Attack in his Super Brave Burst. |
| 130 | * WideEyedIdealist: Judging from his lines, it's pretty clear that pre-HeroKiller Ark used to be a man with a strong sense of justice and courage. |

| 140 | |
| 141 | The player's childhood friend, and one of the best Summoners around. He is also the head of the 24th Demon Slayers Squadron "Rebel Lance"[[note]]Likely a mistranslation in hindsight, as [[AllThereInTheManual the storybook reveals his squad is named after a dragon]][[/note]] or "Nyonne". |
| 142 | ---- |
| 143 | * TheAce: Renowned as the mightiest in the Summoners' Hall, and well-liked in general (unless your name is Lugina, anyway). |
| 144 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: [[spoiler:Pre-Ishgria, he's always been wary of the unknown power he feels dwelling within him, and it's implied that he's sometimes held back because of this.]] |
| 145 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:As it turns out, Karl is half dragonoid-demon, half human.]] |
| 146 | * BadassCape: Dons one on his new armor in Ishgria. |
| 147 | * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:From the middle portion of Ryvern until the end of Agni, at least until Lugina saves him.]] He still kicks asses afterwards, though. |
| 148 | * BaitAndSwitchBoss: [[spoiler:From his first appearance in Ishgria, it's clear that you're going to have to fight him at some point, with the destination finally being Fal Nerga... except he becomes incapable of such due to his demonic instability, and so Liomerg fights in his stead. Seeing as how Karl then goes back to your side after he's stabilized some more, it overlaps with TheUnfought.]] |
| 149 | * BerserkButton: Don't ''ever'' badmouth the people he cares about. Mare purposely presses this button in Ryvern, and Nebulous discovers it in the "Warped Reflection" Grand Quest. |
| 150 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He displays this towards Haruto, the stand-in for the Summoner in ''Haruto's Summoning Diary'', to an overprotective level (though considering that Haruto is an IdiotHero, it's understandable). |
| 151 | * BlueBlood: [[spoiler:His deceased mother was a princess from a ruined kingdom located at borders of Randall Empire, as it turned out.]] |
| 152 | * BlueIsHeroic: His main color scheme is dark blue, and he's one of the good guys. |
| 153 | * BossSubtitles: "The Cobalt Impact". |
| 154 | * BrokenAce: He starts veering in this direction as the mystery of his origins becomes more and more prominent. [[spoiler:After discovering he's half-demon, he acts confident, but it's ultimately revealed to be a front for how uncertain he really is.]] |
| 155 | * CallingParentsByTheirName: [[spoiler:He refers to his real father, Barion, by his name without any honorifics.]] |
| 156 | * ChildOfTwoWorlds: [[spoiler:It's implied that the reason for his initial motivations in the Ishgria arc being what they are--that is, him being somewhat on the side of the demons--is because of his demonic blood ties and at the end, he chooses to stay behind to talk things over with Barion and Liomerg. At the same time, he sees Elgaia as his home and Grahdens and Seria and co. to be his true family and friends.]] |
| 157 | * ChildhoodFriend: With the player. |
| 158 | * ChromaticArrangement: Blue to Seria's Red and Lugina's Green. |
| 159 | * CluelessChickMagnet: [[AllThereInTheManual The storybook]] mentions that he's popular with women, though it also implies he doesn't quite realize this (and as ''Brave Frontier 2'' confirms, [[CelibateHero he doesn't care either way]]). |
| 160 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes. |
| 161 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not as often as some of the others, but he sometimes falls into this role in response to Seria's antics or when the group as a whole is being silly. |
| 162 | * DubInducedPlothole: The Global version removed the JustifiedTutorial where you make an Antidote for him, meaning that all jokes about it (including in the main storyline) will seem completely random. |
| 163 | * ElementalPowers: He's one of the few (heroic) [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] to use elements beyond the one(s) he uses as a playable unit whenever faced as an opponent (in Trials): specifically, every element but dark and fire. |
| 164 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: InUniverse, when he and Seria first met during a mission. She (and the others) became trapped but told Karl to defeat the enemy first, which [[TheAce he did]]--and then, while still injured, immediately came back for them, cementing his position as a NiceGuy. |
| 165 | * FacialMarkings: [[spoiler:In his demon form.]] |
| 166 | * FriendlyEnemy: [[spoiler:He's technically something of an antagonist for two thirds of the Ishgria arc, but no less friendly and well-meaning than he was before.]] |
| 167 | * GeneHunting: To an extent. He's always known that he was adopted and actively made no attempt to discover his true parentage until after his Grand Quest. [[spoiler:He finds his answers in Ishgria, but makes it clear by the end that he still views Grahdens as his father.]] |
| 168 | * HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Karl presumes his mother to be human, while his father's a demon lord.]] |
| 169 | * HappilyAdopted: By Elder Grah, aka Grahdens. To an extent of "happily", at least--Karl loves him, but their family situation wasn't always the easiest. |
| 170 | * HellishPupils: [[spoiler:In his demon form.]] |
| 171 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With the Summoner. While the player is free to choose whichever gender they want, ''Brave Frontier 2'' makes them male canonically. |
| 172 | * HumbleHero: Unlike [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Seria and Lugina]], he doesn't care about being the strongest or competing with others, and is always happy to praise others' achievements instead. |
| 173 | * IAmWhatIAm: [[spoiler:The end result of his character arc, as he comes to realize that being half-demon hasn't really changed who he is.]] |
| 174 | * IAmWho: A question he both does and doesn't want to know the answer to. |
| 175 | * ICallItVera: According to the ''VideoGame/ChainChronicle'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyBraveExvius'' collaborations with Brave Frontier, his poleaxe is named "Lad Mirazh". |
| 176 | * AnIcePerson: While his element is water, he's leaning more towards the "ice" side. |
| 177 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: While he never flat-out says it--and mind you, he's not looking for a ''peaceful'' life, as being a Summoner is his calling--[[spoiler:his initial rejection of the unknown power within him and then his later insecurities over being half-demon]] speak for themselves. |
| 178 | * InadequateInheritor: [[spoiler:He's the son of a demonic ruler, but as far as said ruler and the guy's right-hand man are concerned, Karl doesn't live up to the power he's inherited.]] |
| 179 | * IneffectualLoner: In spite of being the NiceGuy, he of all people develops a case of this in Ishgria, before Seria talks some sense into him. |
| 180 | * JustifiedTutorial: A short one, but when he came back poisoned during the tutorial section of the game, you were taught how to Synthesize an Antidote in order to cure him. |
| 181 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: Considering that there's now a batch about his origins (and while he's never explicitly mentioned, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's about him), the game isn't making much of an effort to hide his HalfHumanHybrid status anymore. |
| 182 | * MakingASplash: He has the ability to manipulate water, and so does his Mock unit. |
| 183 | * NiceGuy: Generally a fairly amiable guy, especially considering [[{{Tsundere}} his]] [[{{Jerkass}} friends]]. Lampshaded affectionately by Tilith, as well as... not so affectionately by Lugina. |
| 184 | * NoHeroToHisValet: Grahdens is his ParentalSubstitute first, [[CoolOldGuy Elder Summoner]] second. He's also not as intimidated by [[TheDreaded Owen]] as the others are and refers to him more casually (Owen/[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Owen-san]] vs. their Lord Owen/Owen-sama), as his backstory means he's likely known since the man since he was young. |
| 185 | * OddFriendship: |
| 186 | ** With Seria, a la RedOniBlueOni style. |
| 187 | ** While they're never seen interacting on-screen, it's implied that he get along well with Mirfah, despite Mirfah being out to kill Grahdens. |
| 188 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He's actually twenty-five, but looks more like a teenager. |
| 189 | * OnlySaneMan: Especially after Tilith and Seria start fighting over the player, in which he gets fed up and tells both girls to stop. He's also entirely aware of his role as mediator between Seria and Lugina, given their egos. |
| 190 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Seria (considering the Summoner's non-presence as a SilentProtagonist). They have a long history as nigh-inseparable partners since their rookie days as Summoners and it's implied [[MistakenForRomance people mistake them for being a couple]], but there's zero indication of any romantic feelings. |
| 191 | * PointyEars: He has these. [[spoiler:Likely indicating at his demon blood, as they become more pronounced in his demon form.]] |
| 192 | * PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Until he finally accepts his demonic side, he has difficulty controlling his powers, and freely admits that he shouldn't try and force himself back into his human form or else he might lose control and go on a rampage.]] |
| 193 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Double subverted. He'll talk about this and how he doesn't care about his issues because of it, but then struggle with said issues (sometimes in the same ''map'' after giving a speech about how friends are awesome) and relying on friends when it really matters. Ultimately, it's subverted again when he comes to terms with who he is, citing the faith of his friends as the main contribution to his closure. |
| 194 | * PrettyBoy: Lampshaded by Lugina, when he, without a good impression of him, calls him "girly-faced" in his rant. |
| 195 | * PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: [[spoiler:Due to his inability to fully accept his demonic heritage, he has difficulty activating/deactivating his demonic side at will. It's only after facing Mora, where his failure to awaken his blood has near disastrous consequences, that he truly resolves to change.]] |
| 196 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue Oni to Seria's Red. And this is represented literally by the color of their armor. |
| 197 | * RunningGag: Whenever he appears in Frontier Hunter, he'll ''always'' be able to cure himself of poison, on account of the aforementioned JustifiedTutorial. |
| 198 | * ShroudedInMyth: His mock unit's second lore revolves around the rumours that fly about Karl and his origins. |
| 199 | * StepfordSmiler: His reaction to being ShroudedInMyth? Smile. His real feelings on the matter? See BrokenAce. |
| 200 | * SuperMode: [[spoiler:His demon form is essentially this.]] |
| 201 | * TellMeAboutMyFather: Mother, in his case. [[spoiler:In the third arc, he mentions to Barion that he wants to hear about her, as he knows absolutely nothing; that said, he realizes that he must first prove his strength to Barion before he can get Barion to say... well, anything.]] |
| 202 | * {{Tsundere}}: He has shades of this towards Elder Grah, his ParentalSubstitute, whom he's occasionally rude towards and denies being concerned over. |
| 203 | * VagueAge: According to WordOfGod, he's twenty-five years old. But since it's unknown how much time has passed during the game's story, it's never clear at what point he's on that age. |
| 204 | * VitriolicBestBuds: According to him, he and Seria used to fight a lot when they first met, even as companions. |
| 205 | * WackyParentSeriousChild: The Only Sane Man to Grahdens's DirtyOldMan. |

| 210 | * AreaOfEffect: His Brave Bursts can hit all enemies. |
| 211 | * HornedHumanoid: The crystals on his head in his Boreal Courage form give this impression. |
| 212 | * AnIcePerson: His main element. |
| 213 | * NumberOfTheBeast: His HP in his Boreal Courage form at max. level comes to '''666'''0. Considering [[spoiler:his demonic nature and what his dad's like]], it's not entirely unfitting. |
| 214 | * OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Starting from his Ice Warrior form, an ice spirit appears behind him. It disappears in his 7-Stars form, although looking by his design, it presumably merges with him. |
| 215 | * PowerGivesYouWings: He was supposed to get them in his Blizzard God form, but the idea was delayed for his Boreal Courage form. |

| 225 | |
| 226 | A hot-headed Summoner who is one of Karl's companions. She is also the champion of the Arena, and was a member of the 19th Demon Slayers Squadron "Bloody Rose". |
| 227 | ---- |
| 228 | * ActionGirl: One of the most renowned female Summoners, and a frequent competitor in the Arena. |
| 229 | * [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Summoner Girl]]: In the first arc, she'll frequently remind the player of how inexperienced and/or unskilled they are, especially in comparison to veterans like her. |
| 230 | * BewareTheHonestOnes: Mixed in with a bit of TooDumbToFool, in Ishgria. Bertz notes her to be the only one (alongside the Summoner) whose actions he can't predict, likely due to her being so simple-minded and fixated on [[spoiler:saving Tilith]] that she's not concerned with the details everyone else is and thus can't be easily manipulated. |
| 231 | * {{BFS}}: She wields one. |
| 232 | * BoisterousBruiser: Her solution to a lot of problems is "beat it up". |
| 233 | * BossSubtitles: "The Crimson Terror". |
| 234 | * BrutalHonesty: She'll say it exactly like it is. Occasionally, it contributes to her being a {{Jerkass}}; at other times, it's what needs to be said. |
| 235 | * CatFight: Against Tilith. |
| 236 | * ChromaticArrangement: Red to Karl's Blue and Lugina's Green. |
| 237 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Can be just as much of one as Tliith to the summoner. |
| 238 | * DeadpanSnarker: If she's not losing her temper, she tends to be this. |
| 239 | * {{Determinator}}: She's a very dedicated person, if not to the point of simple-mindedness. Her focus on her ultimate goal means that she doesn't always sweat over the small details or the odds that she's up against, as especially becomes obvious in Ishgria. |
| 240 | * DubInducedPlothole: Inexplicably, the Global version removed the scene where Karl explains her backstory to the player, despite the role it plays in her CharacterDevelopment. |
| 241 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: InUniverse, during her first meeting with Karl during a mission. When she and the others were trapped and he tried to rescue them, she scolded him and told him the mission came first, demonstrating her selflessness and sense of duty. |
| 242 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: If nothing else, Lin at one point randomly calls her beautiful, much to her embarrassment. |
| 243 | * AFriendInNeed: Typically the role she plays whenever Karl's insecurities start flaring up. As she tells him, she'll always trust him. [[spoiler:She's also the one most devoted to rescuing Tilith, to the point of it overshadowing her concern over anything else.]] |
| 244 | * HairTriggerTemper: Hot damn, does she get angrily easily. |
| 245 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Implied in the Cobalt Spirit's Waking Grand Quest after [[spoiler:defeating Graham]], where she and Karl decide to party in celebration and she tells him that she's not going to let him hold her back this time. |
| 246 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Towards the end of the Ishgria arc, she expresses to the Summoner her insecurities, and how she feels like she isn't even helping in any way. |
| 247 | * ICallItVera: Like Karl, ''VideoGame/ChainChronicle'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyBraveExvius'' collaborations named her greatsword "Vernard". |
| 248 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: As the story goes on, she begins to feel like she pales in comparison to the others: she's not as smart as [[GeniusBruiser Lugina]], as devoted as Paris, or as powerful as the Summoner ([[BrokenAce Karl]] is kind of a mess of his own, at this point). As a result, she vows to gain more strength so that she can become more useful. |
| 249 | * {{Jerkass}}: In the beginning. |
| 250 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She eventually warms up to the player. While she never quite stops being abrasive, there's no denying that her heart is always in the right place. |
| 251 | * MoralityPet: For [[spoiler:Mora]]. |
| 252 | * MyGreatestFailure: |
| 253 | ** She lost her original squad in battle when a rookie Summoner made a mistake, leaving her the only survivor. The incident left her with an incredible dislike towards all Summoner trainees (especially you, the player, when you first start the game), believing nothing good will come out of them. This is kind of averted when Seria finishes her story with the fact that she doesn't blame the rookie Summoner, by pointing out it was she and her squad's fault for relying on him even though he was inexperienced. Seria's behavior is due to the fact she doesn't want to ever rely on someone who is as such, much like the player is during the first parts of the game. |
| 254 | ** To a lesser degree, she watched her master's partner become full of himself after he started winning arena matches, eventually leading to a career-ending injury, and so she now regrets not having done anything about it. As the player progresses through the arena ranks, she worries that they're going to follow the same path. |
| 255 | * OddFriendship: With Karl, her complete opposite in personality. |
| 256 | * PlayingWithFire: As befitting someone who wears red and is a hot-headed {{Tsundere}}. |
| 257 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Karl, to the point where it can be easy to forget ''you're'' his best friend, not her. They've been partners as Summoners since they met and are just about always by each other's side, but with no apparent romantic feelings. |
| 258 | * PluckyGirl: While she has her own issues, she becomes this by Ishgria, to the point of [[spoiler:telling Mora that no matter how bad things seem now, one should keep on living because good things will happen to them eventually!]] |
| 259 | * ThePromise: She once promised the aforementioned rookie Summoner that she'd reach the top of the arena and wait for them there, hence why, even though said Summoner is dead, she's fiercely competitive when it comes to arena rankings. |
| 260 | * RedIsHeroic: She wears red, and is one of your allies. |
| 261 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red Oni to Karl's Blue. Again, this is represented literally by the color of their armor. |
| 262 | * RevengeBeforeReason: The "Crimson's God Cry" Grand Quest deals with her behaving in this manner when Algmos, the demon that wiped out her squad years ago, reappears. |
| 263 | * TheRival: To the player in the Arena. |
| 264 | * SoleSurvivor: Of the attack that killed her original team (see above). |
| 265 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her new armor that she wears in Ishgria is certainly more revealing than her previous one. |
| 266 | * SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Even if she doesn't agree with them, she genuinely wants to understand Mora's motivations and is a little upset when it feels as though the party isn't seriously considering them.]] |
| 267 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: If nothing else, her smile in her new art for Ishgria is certainly more cheerful than her old one. |
| 268 | * TookALevelInKindness: Over the course of the story, as she warms up to you. |
| 269 | * TrainingFromHell: At the end of Ishgria, she demands from Owen that he train her. When, after plenty of protesting, he informs her that this is what he'll be dishing, she's elated. |
| 270 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type A example to the summoner and a non-romantic example to everyone else. |
| 271 | * VitriolicBestBuds: She becomes this with Tilith. And with Lugina, but with a lot more emphasis on the "vitriolic" part than "best buds". According to Karl, he also used to be this with her, but nowadays, while she still has her ''tsun'' moments, she's generally nicer to him than she is to most. |
| 272 | * WolfPackBoss: Whenever she's fought as a boss, she will summon her units after several turns or have someone (usually Lugina or Karl) to accompany her. Or both. |
| 273 | * YouRemindMeOfX: |
| 274 | ** At the end of Lem, [[spoiler:Mora said that she reminds her of her former mentor Oguro.]] |
| 275 | ** If the player advances through the arena rankings, Seria is uncomfortably reminded of her master's partner, as noted under MyGreatestFailure. |

| 291 | |
| 292 | A fellow Summoner who the player first meets in Cordelica, being tasked to investigate the region alongside you. He is also the head of the 23rd Demon Slayers Squadron "Sky Garden". |
| 293 | ---- |
| 294 | * AffectionateNickname: "Lugi", courtesy of Tilith. |
| 295 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Much like Seria, he has extreme confidence in his abilities and does not like the fact that the player is often involved in their affairs. [[spoiler:Shit even got real when they clashed!]] |
| 296 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Pulls a fairly complicated one on Mare during the course of Agni in order to save Karl.]] |
| 297 | * {{BFS}}: He wields one as his weapon of choice. |
| 298 | * BossSubtitles: "The Green Menace". |
| 299 | * ButtMonkey: His punishment for being such a {{Jerkass}} is that he usually ends up as the butt of jokes. |
| 300 | * CastingAShadow: He is able to attack with this element as a Brave Burst. |
| 301 | * CelibateHero: Lugina revealed to be one in the Grand Quest "Proud Soldier's Feast". He claims it's because all of the girls around him are "a waste of time". [[labelnote:Though in ''Brave Frontier 2''...]]He ironically ends up the only member of the ChromaticArrangement to marry, while Karl and Seria explicitly have no interest in marrying.[[/labelnote]] |
| 302 | * ChromaticArrangement: Green to Karl's Blue and Seria's Red. |
| 303 | * CoolSword: It's a sword that makes it's wielder grow stronger when they are winning, but weaker as they are losing. Instead of having it reforged, Lugina likes it the way it is, since in his mind he never loses. |
| 304 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes. |
| 305 | * EmbarrassingNickname: The aforementioned "Lugi" becomes this when Paris and Seria use it. |
| 306 | * {{Foil}}: Can be considered one to Seria AND Karl. He's a more logical and less emotional version of Seria but with all of her negative traits exaggerated, and TheRival to Karl but the complete opposite in personality (rude, arrogant, and demeaning vs. Karl's friendly, humble, and encouraging nature, etc.). |
| 307 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: You can bet that if anyone's clashing with the rest of the group, it's this guy. |
| 308 | * GeniusBruiser: One would think that he's a DumbMuscle, but he's got good foresight and analysis skill, in addition to being capable of calmly assessing a situation while everybody else is freaking out. Lugina is also a skilled trapper as seen when he disarms traps spanning a long bridge, while intense fighting went on around him. |
| 309 | * GreenThumb: His element, when he starts to be your opponent in your quest, as well as his Mock unit's. |
| 310 | * HairTriggerTemper: One of the things he has in common with Seria, and why, when they're in the same room, the volume control is non-existent. |
| 311 | * ICallItVera: His sword, "Sky Harbinger". |
| 312 | * {{Jerkass}}: Suffice to say there's a reason why nobody wants to work with him (except for Karl, but [[TheRival take a guess as to why they aren't partners]]). |
| 313 | * JerkassHasAPoint: There are a lot of times when he ''doesn't'', but once in a while, he makes a valid point, even if he perhaps puts it more cruelly than needed. |
| 314 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However downright irritating he can be, he genuinely does want to help in his own way... |
| 315 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: ...but sometimes he's just like that because he can be. |
| 316 | * LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:He is the next in line to inherit the name [[Characters/BraveFrontierUnitsPart4 "Zelban"]].]] |
| 317 | * TheMole: Shockingly, he is accused of being one [[spoiler:for the Elgaian Federation in Rakshult by Bertz, which he vehemently denies.]] |
| 318 | * MoreHeroThanThou: He often does this with Seria and/or Karl. This is because Karl once got all the glory he should have gotten during a mission, resulting in him resenting Karl so much. [[spoiler:And actually, the whole thing was just a misunderstanding.]] |
| 319 | * NoSympathy: You could have the saddest backstory in existence and Lugina will just mock you. If your name is Karl, Lugina will be ''delighted'', [[KickTheDog as he enjoys any dysfunction in Karl's life as proof that he's not so perfect]]. |
| 320 | * OneHitKill: Downplayed. One of his Brave Burst that look like a Dark-elemental attack deals 90% of his targets' HP. |
| 321 | * RecurringBoss: You have to fight him [[spoiler:''three times'']] during the course of Lizeria, as he's had enough of you being seemingly better than him. That, or he wanted to test how powerful you actually are. |
| 322 | ** [[spoiler:He seems to be a staple for EX Trials as well, since he's been featured in no less than three of them: his own, Karl's, and Tilith's.]] |
| 323 | * TheResenter: He really, really does not appreciate that Karl is regarded as TheAce of the Summoners' Hall and not him. |
| 324 | * TheRival: For Karl. Borderlines on UnknownRival, as while Karl's aware that Lugina holds him in heavy disdain, he's not trying to compete against him the way Lugina really, really is trying with him. |
| 325 | * RunningGag: Him getting caught in crevices and the like. |
| 326 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Downplayed. He genuinely is a competent badass, but even he isn't as amazing as he often touts himself to be. |
| 327 | * SmugSmiler: Which occasionally gets on the others' nerves. |
| 328 | * SurroundedByIdiots: His opinion when dealing with you, Seria, and co. |
| 329 | * {{Tsundere}}: With heavy emphasis on the ''tsun''. He'll never show a soft side or openly care about anyone else, but it's generally agreed that, even if he'll deny it, he does care more than he lets on. Probably. |
| 330 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:A heroic example. He hates Karl and the Summoner, but is sent in to save the former in Agni. He doesn't like the mission enough to leave the Summoner alone, but it's later revealed that his displeasure was just part of his BatmanGambit.]] |
| 331 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Seria, though perhaps ''just'' meeting the "best buds" requirement. |
| 332 | * WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:He's sealed away his La Veda fencing abilities, though he regains them during the Ishgria arc.]] |
| 333 | * WouldHitAGirl: Well, not yet, but he threatens to do this to Seria and Paris if they go too far with their snarking at him. |

| 338 | * AreaOfEffect: His Brave Burst attacks all enemies. Subverted for his Super Brave Burst as Quake God, as it is a single-target attack that instantly fills his BB Gauge. But his 7-Star form's Super Brave Burst plays this straight again. |
| 339 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: If he has access to Super Brave Burst, he can add [=DEF=] ignoring effect to his party's attacks. |
| 340 | * HourOfPower: The stat boosts from his Leadership Skill only lasts for 2 turns. |
| 341 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: [[spoiler:His 7-Star form's Defense-oriented skills is a CallBack to the reveal that he is the current "Zelban", who has Defense buff. His own offensive take of those skills shows his insistence to be his own person while still making use of Vedan fencing style.]] |
| 342 | * StatusBuff: If he's the leader of the group, he will have the team's Attack and Defense raised for two turns. As Quake God, he also bestows Ignore Defense. And as the top, he boosts the party's Defense by '''150%''' in his 7-Star form. |

| 350 | ---- |

| 353 | * BashBrothers: With Owen. |

| 355 | * BirthdayHater: Subverted. [[spoiler:In the Arena cutscenes, he'll claim that Karl, Lin, and Lugina are searching for him to celebrate his birthday and that he doesn't want to, on account of being this, but it's later revealed to be a lie he made up (Karl and co. wanting to celebrate his birthday, that is).]] |
| 356 | * CastingAShadow: His element, as himself and as a Mock unit. |
| 357 | * TheChessmaster: While his intentions are generally benevolent, he has a tendency to pull strings and get people to move according to how he wants them to. |
| 358 | * CoolOldGuy: At first. While mysterious, he's friendly and even jokes about being the terrible god of Amdahl. Then it sticks, especially when he messes around. When he is first met, he claims to only hold onto his weapon just for show, but all of the monsters scattering away in his presence during his appearance seems to suggest otherwise. Confirmed when he's revealed to be Grahdens, a renowned Summoner of Old and by all accounts one of your superiors. |
| 359 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: [[spoiler:His spear Ishrion was once a Disciple of a certain high-ranked god who spent some time travelling with him.]] |
| 360 | * DirtyOldMan: Some of his comments towards the girls are quite suggestive. |
| 361 | * DualWielding: Wields his aforementioned spear and a short sword. |

| 363 | * TheGadfly: He's fond of teasing people. |
| 364 | * ICallItVera: His spear, "Ishrion". [[spoiler:It is the Disciple who once traveled with him.]] |
| 365 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: His real name and identity were supposed to be spoilers... at first. |
| 366 | * LivingWeapon: [[spoiler:Ishrion, who is actually a Disciple turned into a spear.]] |
| 367 | * MyGreatestFailure: He shares this with Owen: |
| 368 | ** [[spoiler:In their younger days back when the original Demon Slayers Squadrons were still active, they allowed their fellow Squadron heads to go on an expedition to Ishgria, believing them to be strong enough to handle whatever dangers the then unknown realm could throw at them. They were wrong - all but one of them got killed there instead.]] |
| 369 | *** [[spoiler:The above tragedy caused Grahdens to become a slight eccentric, Owen to become a cynical hardass towards the current generation of Summoners, and a third surviving Summoner of Old, Warlon, to lose his will to fight on top of all their fallen friends' Squadrons being retired out of respect.]] |
| 370 | * ParentalSubstitute: To Karl. |
| 371 | * ParentsAsPeople: Of the foster variety to Karl, whom he wasn't there for much while Karl was growing up, due to unwillingly being MarriedToTheJob. Karl's always understood, and they still love each other dearly, but it's implied to have put a bit of strain on their relationship. |
| 372 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Owen's Red. |
| 373 | * SandInMyEyes: [[spoiler:After he and Karl give their goodbyes before the climax in Ishgria, Grahdens denies to Owen that he's crying.]] |
| 374 | * ScarsAreForever: He covers a particularly nasty looking one with his eye patch. |
| 375 | * VerbalTic: He usually says "Ho ho ho" before saying something when he's amused. |
| 376 | * WackyParentSeriousChild: Karl is often exasperated/embarrassed by him, while Grahdens teases Karl for being a "bore". |

| 394 | A member of the Akras Summoners' Hall's Logistics Support Office. She usually wanders into Grand Gaia to investigate new areas. She also manages the Frontier Hunter Seasonal Event. |
| 395 | ---- |
| 396 | * BreatherBoss: In the "Hall of Challengers" Frontier Gate, she appears in 21st stage, before the difficulty picks up. |
| 397 | * ButtMonkey: Especially in "Lin's Long Day" Grand Quest, in which a series of unfortunate events just seems to happen around her as she and the Summoner survey a recently-discovered area. |
| 398 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}} |
| 399 | * TheDitz: She's shown to be rather air-headed. |
| 400 | * ForgottenFirstMeeting: The player apparently helped her out in Randall before her debut, but they have no recollection of this, much to her disappointment. |
| 401 | * GreenThumb: Her element, which is also applied to her Mock unit. |
| 402 | * IOweYouMyLife: Well, not ''life'' (unless that story is a lot more drastic than Lin's making it out to be!), but apparently, the Summoner once helped her out when she was lost in Randall, and it's why she's so eager to help them in particular. |
| 403 | * INeedToGoIronMyDog: In the "Hopes and Regrets" Grand Quest, she claims that she suddenly has urgent business to attend to--during a (just canceled) picnic--in an attempt to get [[ShipperOnDeck Noah and Elise alone together]]. |
| 404 | * MissionControl: How she assists the player in the Frontier Hunter Seasonal Event and in the dungeons of {{Superboss}}es in the Quest Mode regions. |
| 405 | * MomentKiller: She does this once or twice in the "Cobalt Spirit's Waking" Grand Quest when Karl and Seria are having a FriendshipMoment. |
| 406 | * ShipperOnDeck: She's very interested in Noah's and Elise's relationship, as seen in the Grand Quest "Hopes and Regrets". |

| 413 | * GradualRegeneration: Rather than instantly heal her allies, Lin prefers to give HP Regen and BB Gauge Regen for three turns. |

| 422 | |
| 423 | A member of the Akras Summoners' Hall's Research Lab. He creates Mock units based on the data he accumulated from people or beings and puts them into Trials for Summoners to fight against. He is also the son of the nephew of one of the Research Lab's founders, Rhoa. |
| 424 | ---- |
| 425 | * BerserkButton: He has several. |
| 426 | ** First, don't question his genius. |
| 427 | ** Don't act like an annoying {{Jerkass}} in front of him, either. |
| 428 | ** He also dislikes demons, which gets brought up in several Grand Quests and Grand Sapphire's description. |
| 429 | * BossSubtitles: "Genius' Challenge". |
| 430 | * ChildProdigy: He's twelve at the start of the story. |
| 431 | * CloneJesus: So far, he's able to clone all of the Four Fallen Gods, as well as clone [[spoiler: Tilith, Karl, Seria, Lugina, Paris, and Grahdens. Then there's also Noah, Elise, Owen, Ark, Lucius, Xie'Jing, and Gazia, with even more on the way.]] |
| 432 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His cyan hair matches his equally cyan eyes. |
| 433 | * FamousAncestor: Rhoa, who, in his time, was brighter and crazier than Noel. |
| 434 | * ForScience: The reason why he deigns to create Mock units based off people or beings you have met or fought. Suffice to say, it's [[InTheBlood in his blood.]] Also, in the Grand Quest "Tinkerer's Deceit", this is also his reason why he wanted you to activate a weird memory-watching device from Athensphere while he studies the feedback he's getting from you. |
| 435 | * InsufferableGenius: Noel has shades of this, but he's aware of it and tries to curb it when he can. |
| 436 | * OurClonesAreIdentical: His job at the Summoners' Research Hall is to make Mock Units based on other [=NPCs=]. |
| 437 | * TheUnfought: Even in ''his own Trial'', the Summoner never fight him directly. Instead, he will summon various Omni Evolution units to fight. |

| 448 | * EmotionlessGirl: Well, not too emotionless, but she certainly lacks a lot of expressions in her character portrait compared to the other characters. Subverted in her own Grand Quest, which has her emotes. |
| 449 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She even joined Lin to persuade Elise to reveal the full extent of her relationship with Noah. |
| 450 | * [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Sera finds herself playing this role towards the ever-energetic Lin and Elise in the Grand Quest "Hopes and Regrets". |

| 465 | The "female Summoner" mentioned by Noel who made it possible for them to simulate past events of history by gathering "Fragments of Memories" scattered across Grand Gaia. Several circumstances led her to meet the Summoner and Tilith in Bectas. |
| 466 | ---- |
| 467 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her name, as well as her job, are revealed in Japanese-exclusive adaptation novel of [[Characters/BraveFrontierUnitsPart4 "Ten-Winged Tormentor"]]. The official artbook also shows her currently unused [=NPC=] portrait. |
| 468 | * AscendedExtra: From a one-note [[TheGhost mention]] in the game to AudienceSurrogate of the novelizations to one of the Summoners' major allies as of the Summoner Arc. |
| 469 | * AudienceSurrogate: For the novelizations. |
| 470 | * ChildOfTwoWorlds: [[spoiler:She's born in the Elgaia Federation, yet she was raised in the Randall Empire.]] |
| 471 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Towards the Summoner, to the point it scares Tilith. |
| 472 | * {{Expy}}: Is noted by fans for looking like Seria but with shorter hair. |
| 473 | * TheGhost: Until she appears in the third story arc, at least. |
| 474 | * IWorkAlone: [[spoiler:Due to her mixed origins, she prefers to work alone as she's not confident enough to form friendship with others. After finding out the truth about Iris in the second novel, she got over it and joined Lugina's Otherworld Research Division.]] |
| 475 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Uptight and, by her own admission, vocal about her opinions, but otherwise, she's more openly friendly than [[{{Jerkass}} Seria, Lugina, and Noah]] initially were. |
| 476 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Her 7-Star form's lore mentioned that nobody knows what happened to her during her adventures in Ishgria. One of the second novelization's premises is to explain her adventures. |
| 477 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Tilith remarks on the similarity between her and Paris: namely, both being history nerds. |

| 488 | |
| 489 | The informant of the (Raid Battle) Demon Slayers. She assists the Summoners in Raid Battle by teaching them the basics, managing the party's rooms, and giving out missions. |
| 490 | ---- |
| 491 | * BewareOfTheNiceOnes: In the Grand Quest "Hopes and Regrets", she forces Lin and Sera to climb a mountain because they pegged her about Noah all the time. [[spoiler:Also, she was Noah's Vice Commander and was forced to retire because of the curse that would kill her if she ever met with powerful demons.]] |
| 492 | * ChildhoodFriends: She and Noah came from the same village before joining the Summoners' Hall, presumably making them this. |
| 493 | * {{Curse}}: [[spoiler:During a mission, she was given one by a demon who said she will immediately die if she ever fought demonkind again.]] |
| 494 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink hair and pink eyes. |
| 495 | * GreenEyedMonster: Mildly. She eventually admits that she's kind of jealous of the Summoner for being able to fight and thus bond with Noah, while she's left feeling like there's nothing she can do. |
| 496 | * TheHeart: [[spoiler:Her lore notes that once she retired, the squad basically fell apart thanks to Noah's... less than stellar people skills.]] |
| 497 | * IHaveThisFriend: How she justifies knowing so much about Noah--in hindsight, it's clear that the "friend" she was talking about, who was part of his squad but then retired, was actually her. |
| 498 | * MissionControl: For the Demon Slayers. |
| 499 | * MyGreatestFailure: She also considers Noah's as hers as well. Even more so on her part because she couldn't fight [[spoiler:due to the curse placed on her]], leading to Noah and the rest of her squad having to sacrifice themselves in protecting her instead. Only she and Noah survived. |
| 500 | * NumberTwo: Used to be this for Noah. |
| 501 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Pink Girl to Noah's Blue Boy. |
| 502 | * PlayingWithFire: Her element, which extends to her Mock unit too. |
| 503 | * PluckyGirl: She does her best to be this, even with her situation. |
| 504 | * RetiredBadass: She used to be a Demon Slayer, and while she's not the fighter she used to be, she's still notably ''much'' more athletic than Lin or Sera. |
| 505 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Cheerful and optimistic, especially when next to [[BrokenAce Noah]]. |
| 506 | * RunningGag: Owen suddenly showing up and her exclaiming in surprise, caught off-guard. He's going to give her a heart attack one day. |
| 507 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Energetic Girl to Noah's Savvy Guy. |
| 508 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: In "Hopes and Regrets", she denies any romantic involvement with Noah. Suffice to say that Lin doesn't buy it. |
| 509 | * TakingTheBullet: Non-fatally, [[spoiler:she did this for Noah in the past, which is how she received her curse]]. |
| 510 | * ThroughHisStomach: After they reconcile, she regularly cooks meals for Noah. |
| 511 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: She and Noah used to be close, before, well, trauma happened. Part of their arc involves them rebuilding their relationship. |

| 516 | * AreaOfEffect: Her Brave Bursts hit all enemies. |
| 517 | * BadassDecay: InUniverse, her mock unit's based on herself after suffering this, thanks to no longer being a Demon Slayer, as Noel feels that the real Elise should reclaim her power rather than the mock unit. |
| 518 | * KickChick: Her preferred method of fighting, and her Mock unit carries this on too. |

| 525 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravefrontier_noah.png]] |
| 526 | |
| 527 | A seasoned Demon Slayer, who, for some reason, antagonizes the player in his initial appearances. He is also the head of the now-retired 21st Demon Slayers Division "Silver Knights". |
| 528 | ---- |
| 529 | * TheAce: Noah was the best when it came to demon slaying with his teammates, until one day [[MyGreatestFailure they were wiped out except for him...]] |
| 530 | * AlmightyJanitor: Technically just a member of the Regular Army now, aka a step down from being a Demon Slayer. He stays in it even after his storyline, though Lugina would [[SarcasmMode graciously]] let Noah join his squad if he wanted. |
| 531 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Eventually, he starts feeling this way with regards to the Summoner, though he admits that it doesn't bother him as much as he thought it would. |
| 532 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: And he's even worse than Seria and Lugina! Though, he does tone it down a lot later as he warms up to other people again. |
| 533 | * BerserkButton: Don't make it seem like you are better than him when it comes to demon-slaying missions. And never, ever tell him that Elise might be in danger. [[spoiler:In a Raid Class 4 Mission, both of those buttons are pressed, and he really doesn't take them well.]] |
| 534 | * BrokenAce: He's been stuck in this state ever since the incident mentioned under TheAce, although he slowly gets better with your help alongside Owen's. |
| 535 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Elise, judging by the fact that they came from the same village. |
| 536 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has a rather sardonic sense of humour when he's in a calm mood, especially around Owen. |
| 537 | -->'''Noah:''' What's going on? |
| 538 | -->'''Owen''': Details are best saved for later. |
| 539 | -->'''Noah''': Which is code for "petty Summoners like yourselves don't need to know." |
| 540 | * DeclarationOfProtection: To Elise in "Hopes and Regrets", albeit not to her face, but said to the Summoner. |
| 541 | * DefrostingIceKing: Essentially the gist of his storyline, towards the player who becomes his OnlyFriend (aside from Elise). |
| 542 | * {{Determinator}}: Owen describes him as such in the storybook, noting that despite his trauma, the light never left Noah's eyes. It's not always a healthy devotion, mind you, but Noah never gives up. |
| 543 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: And how! He and Elise are ChildhoodFriends, Lins openly ships them (and in a canon that rarely has blatant ShipTease), the storybook notes their inauguration ceremony when their squad was formed seemed like a ''wedding'', he's insanely devoted to her and the sentiment's fairly mutual, she regularly cooks meals for him once they reconcile, etc... Literally the only thing preventing them from being an OfficialCouple is that it's never spelled out explicitly how they feel. |
| 544 | * IneffectualLoner: His storyline is about smacking this attitude out of him. It's noted that while he remains in the Regular Army after the Raid storyline, he's become more open to team assignments. |
| 545 | * {{Jerkass}}: Much like Seria and Lugina, he starts off as this. |
| 546 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ... And again, like the above, he becomes this as he warms up to the player. As a whole, while he might initially come off as worse, he's also more sincere and therefore quicker to give credit where it's due and more willing to apologize when he's done wrong. |
| 547 | * MakingASplash: His element, though like Karl, he leans towards being AnIcePerson. |
| 548 | * MilitaryMaverick: Downplayed, as Noah doesn't outright break any rules, but he has no problems with talking back to Owen, his superior. This being Owen, he doesn't care as long as Noah achieves results. |
| 549 | * MyGreatestFailure: |
| 550 | ** Considers the mission that caused his squad to get wiped out as this. |
| 551 | ** While not as heavily addressed, he also blames himself for [[spoiler:Elise's curse]]. |
| 552 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: Part of why he's such a loner now is to avoid a repeat of the trauma of all of his comrades being slaughtered. |
| 553 | * NoSocialSkills: When he's not being angry, he seems to to be rather socially stilted, and borderlines on being TheQuietOne. |
| 554 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Blue Boy to Elise's Pink Girl. |
| 555 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He's even more obsessed with taking down Yugreia than Seria is with Algmos! Though, to his credit, he calms down after snapping at Elise and acknowledging that he's losing it. |
| 556 | * TheRival: To the Summoner in Raid Battles. Evolves into a FriendlyRivalry, which is Noah's {{Tsundere}} way of expressing friendship. |
| 557 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Savvy Guy to Elise's Energetic Girl. |
| 558 | * TheScapegoat: He was forced to take on all responsibility for the incident that got his squad killed, even though it may not have necessarily been his error in judgment to begin with. Elise believes that this "unjust treatment" (plus the general trauma) is why Noah then closed himself off to others. |
| 559 | * ShellShockedVeteran: A lot of his behaviour can be attributed to him still reeling from his trauma. |
| 560 | * SoleSurvivor: In the Yugreia incident, where everyone else either died or received a career-ending injury. |
| 561 | * TheStoic: He's not entirely unlike Owen in this regard. |
| 562 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Rather aloof, but after he defrosts, he has his moments of kindness (and, according to Elise, talks about nothing but you whenever he's around). |
| 563 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Although it's obvious that he and Elise still care about each other, their trauma's left them unable to properly communicate. Noah, in particular, tends to be standoffish with her, although he'll apologize if he's gone too far. |
| 564 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In a Frontier Hunter season, he and Eriole lampshade being PutOnABus, but whereas Eriole finally returns in ''Brave Frontier 2'', Noah and Elise are the only two Summoners' Hall characters who aren't even mentioned at all. It's as if they simply ceased to exist. |
| 565 | * WorthyOpponent: He eventually comes to consider the Summoner this. |
| 566 | * YankTheDogsChain: Out of all the characters with an ArchEnemy, Noah gets the short end of the stick, as the Raid mechanics mean he can't actually succeed in defeating them. He thinks he defeated Yugreia? So did the player, aka you both just fought copies. Then, [[spoiler:he's ambushed by the real one and forced to leave it to the Summoner, and while he's grateful when they defeat it, it leaves him without closure, as he dedicated years to his vengeance only to still not be good enough]]. |

| 570 | * AreaOfEffect: While his ordinary Brave Bursts are single-target, his Super BB hits all enemies. |
| 571 | * ForgottenFirstMeeting: Apparently has no recollection of the water spirit whose protection he's received since childhood, in his Skilled Lance form. |
| 572 | * MakingASplash: His element. |
| 573 | * NoSell: His Leader/Friend skill negates all status ailments. His Skilled Lance form also reduces the BB gauge, leading to faster Brave Burst charging. |

| 581 | One of the Summoners of Old from the Akras Summoners' Hall, and the first known Summoner to re-open the Gate to Grand Gaia, thus making him the "First Summoner". He is also the former head of the now retired 1st Demon Slayers Squadron. |
| 582 | ---- |
| 583 | * AffectionateNickname: Little Owen, from Tilith. |
| 584 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As with Grahdens, he can demonstrate exactly why he's one of the Summoners of Old. |
| 585 | * BashBrothers: With Grahdens. |
| 586 | * BerserkButton: He gets quite infuriated when people use Items on their units in a fight - and if he ever sees you use one against him, your units are in for a beating! |
| 587 | * ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:The fight against him in Zamburg is one for Mirfah's {{Revenge}} arc of the Ishgria storyline.]] |
| 588 | * CoolOldGuy: And boy, is he. [[spoiler: You will know how powerful he is when you face him in Wulgee. And after you win the fight, he merely states he was simply holding back. [[OhCrap Then he ''forces'' you and Mirfah to team up against him later in Zamburg...]]]] |
| 589 | * DeathGlare: Seems fond of giving this to people who are starting to piss him off; in this case, it's usually Lugina who's the target of his ire, although the others aren't exempt especially when they AskAStupidQuestion |
| 590 | * TheDreaded: Even '''Lugina''' and '''Seria''' are scared of him! '''Noah''' and '''Elise''' are too! '''Grahdens''' doesn't even want to be on his bad side either! |
| 591 | * IOweYouMyLife: Owen respects Tilith greatly since she's the one who had saved him and all of humanity from demonic invasion early on in the Ishgria arc. Anything Tilith does he accepts and in fact finds the casual attitudes of Seria, Lugina, and Paris towards Tilith to be offensive. |
| 592 | * TheMentor: |
| 593 | ** Although he's actually quite too blunt to be one, he manages to re-teach Noah what it means to be a Demon Slayer again. |
| 594 | ** After the Grand Gaia arc, he becomes one to [[spoiler:Seria as per her request.]] |
| 595 | * NotSoStoic: |
| 596 | ** [[spoiler: In a Raid Mission cutscene, he begins tearing up slightly at the fact that Noah has become what he used to be again when the latter quickly leaves to deal with another demon, at which '''scares Elise''' into pretending she saw nothing.]] |
| 597 | ** Noah can tell immediately that even Owen is nervous about Elgaia's worsening situation when he laughs after boasting. "Never seen him so emotive before," indeed. |
| 598 | * PlayingWithFire: The only element he needs to kick everyone's ass. |
| 599 | * RedBaron: He is the "First Summoner", who re-opened the gate to Grand Gaia, and is the one who is actually responsible for jump-starting your adventure in the game. |
| 600 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Grahdens' Blue. |
| 601 | * ScarsAreForever: He sports a nasty-looking one across his stern face. |

| 628 | One of the Imperial Guards of the Randall Empire. She first meets with the Summoner during her mission in Cordelica. |
| 629 | ---- |
| 630 | * ActionGirl: While prim and proper, she won't hesitate to kick someone's ass if the need calls for it. |
| 631 | * AffectionateNickname: Paris-bear, courtesy of Tilith. |
| 632 | * BerserkButton: Don't insult Eriole in front of her. Or simply being Lugina. [[spoiler:Also, don't even think about threatening her friends, either.]] |
| 633 | * BossSubtitles: "The Yellow Flash". |
| 634 | * ChromaticArrangement: She adds the yellow to the aforementioned ChromaticArrangement of Karl, Seria, and Lugina. |
| 635 | * DeadpanSnarker: She certainly enjoys throwing a snide remark or two to the player and Lugina. [[spoiler:Then she later focuses her snark on Lugina alongside Seria.]] |
| 636 | * FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler:Eventually, with you and the rest of your friends.]] |
| 637 | * ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:She has cut her hair in Celgrad to symbolize her new resolve as a Summoner and her letting Eriole go.]] |
| 638 | * InternalReformist: [[spoiler:By the end of the Ishgria arc, she decides to quit the Summoners' Hall and return to Randall, as while anyone can change it from the outside, only she's in a position to do so from within.]] |
| 639 | * NoSocialSkills: Apparently. Tilith and everyone else had to tell her to ease up and drop the politeness once she starts travelling with them. |
| 640 | * {{Ojou}}: Being calm and collected even in the presence of the more irritable Lugina, or while in more dangerous situations. Also turns out to be literal; she's the daughter of an apparently very well-off nobleman. |
| 641 | * {{Otaku}}: [[spoiler:In Celgrad, she reveals that she is one for history.]] |
| 642 | * RecurringBoss: [[spoiler:In Atharva, you have to deal with her twice as she tries to stop you from reaching Eriole.]] |
| 643 | * RoyalRapier: In line with her noblewoman background, she uses one to great effect. Her Omni Unit as Prime Minister however replaces it with a broadsword. |
| 644 | * ShockAndAwe: Her element when you get to battle her. This applies to her Mock unit too. |
| 645 | * SilkHidingSteel: Of the {{Ojou}} ActionGirl [[spoiler:and eventual InternalReformist]] variety. |
| 646 | * SixthRanger: [[spoiler:Paris becomes one of your group's closest friends after Eriole's treachery is revealed and explained.]] |
| 647 | * SmugSmiler: It's not too blatant like Lugina's, but her smile is quite smug. [[spoiler:Then it becomes less so when she begins her new life as a Summoner.]] |
| 648 | * TookALevelInCheerfulness: Like Seria, by the second arc. [[spoiler:Being a Summoner instead of part of the Imperial Guard has helped her to loosen up.]] |
| 649 | * UndyingLoyalty: Towards Eriole. [[spoiler:At least until she is also targeted to be wiped out in an eruption in Atharva by Tesla.]] |
| 650 | |

| 679 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: [[spoiler:He and Tesla see each other only as siblings due to growing up together in the same orphanage]]. |
| 680 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: It wouldn't be this trope without Lugina mocking him for it! |
| 681 | * OrphanageOfLove: [[spoiler:Where he and Tesla were raised, until both of them got adopted by noble families.]] |
| 682 | * PlatonicLifePartners: [[spoiler:You'd be forgiven for thinking that he and Tesla are a romantic couple if it weren't for them being referred to/referring to each other as siblings.]] |
| 683 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:He was raised happily by the noble family that adopted him, but when found out that Tesla's new family blinded her, he turned into the vengeful man he is today.]] |
| 684 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He wants to achieve peace in Elgaia by eliminating the noble class so no one would have to suffer cruel indignities as Tesla did. Although his methods are questionable at best.]] |
| 685 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After his plans fail, he vanishes from the storyline, until ''Brave Frontier 2'' came out.]] |

| 702 | ---- |
| 703 | * NonHumanSidekick: Plays this role towards Noel when the latter wanted to enhance Paris' and Lugina's Mock Units. Aside from that, he also helped Noel to complete Grand Quest machine. |
| 704 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: For starters, he's quite small in appearance - possibly matching Noel's size - and he's in charge of a big library that spans long and wide. |

| 750 | ---- |
| 751 | * FantasticRacism: While they don’t fully mean it and come around to Tilith’s friendliness over time, the both of them were raised on stories of gods bent on killing humans. This made Riana fear Tilith even while being overly respectful of her, and Luciana to be wary. |

| 753 | * PoorCommunicationKills: When Riana confesses to being afraid of gods like Tilith, the goddess herself bemoans the poor relationship between gods and humans. However, Riana says that all it takes is for both sides to talk to understand each other, just like she and Tilith did earlie. |
