10[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mao_d3.png]]
11->A demon "Honor Student" out to kill his father and take his place as Overlord. Reading far too much manga for his own good, he concludes that the best way to do this is to become the Hero, because [[InvincibleHero heroes always kick Overlord ass]].
12----
13* AntiHero: He'd never admit it, but [[spoiler:he really does calm out a bit after the story. Of course, the interpretation varies from player to player. He'll drop an evil plan if his "friends" bug him enough about it.]]
14* BadassBookworm: He's an honor student who's also a powerful demon.
15* BigBad: of ''VisualNovel/DisgaeaInfinite''.
16* BlushSticker: Mao gets these then he is turned on.
17* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest:
18-->What are you doing here, Beryl? Are you trying to interrupt my research again? I'm about to conduct a physics experiment on skirt lifting. Get out of here.
19** On the other hand, this could be because Beryl wears proper tights, which kind of defeats the point of skirt-lifting.
20* ClosetGeek: He is the closet about liking heroes, truth is he might be as big a fan of them as Almaz and Flonne, if not more.
21* CoatCape: It is held around his neck by a chain.
22* CombatPragmatist: In the second fight against Raspberyl, it was implied he used Almaz as a shield.
23* CruelMercy: The way he punishes Aurum in the normal ending.
24* DisproportionateRetribution: His stated reason for wanting to defeat his father? Because his father accidentally destroyed his game system.
25%%* DitzyGenius
26* EinsteinHair: As befits a DitzyGenius MadScientist.
27* EnemyWithin: Dark Mao.
28* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Despite all his research, he doesn't ''get'' concepts like 'courage' and 'love'.
29* EvilLaugh: According to one of the flashbacks, Geoffrey went so far to more or less handcraft Mao's evil laugh for him.
30* FaceHeelTurn: Well, he already considers himself a heel, but he pulls this for ''real'' in the worst ending.
31* FantasticRacism: Towards Rutile.
32* FingerPokeOfDoom: His uniques tend to show him tossing away his sword so he can blast the opponent with energy from his finger.
33%%* ForScience
34* HumansAreBastards: [[spoiler:Due to Aurum.]]
35* IReadItForTheArticles: Mao insists that his massive superhero comic book collection is ''purely'' for research purposes. Really.
36* IceKing: His heart is literally as cold as ice.
37* AnIcePerson: His primary element.
38%%* InsufferableGenius
39* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lampshaded by Sapphire in the Super Hero Mao ending.
40** A really, really big jerk with a heart of gold. Several times in the game, we meet the embodiment of Mao's "True Heart," and he's basically what Mao would be if Mao were more mature and kind. The irritating jerkass Mao is entirely an affectation, a "surface".
41* KickTheMoralityPet: In the worst ending, [[spoiler:he mocks Almaz after he dies instead of grieving for him, which is seen as an in-universe MoralEventHorizon, making everyone turn their back on him. He then attacks them, but once Beryl is gone, he loses it.]]
42* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Despite the regular insistence that [[IReadItForTheArticles he doesn't really like heroes and just collects video games and comic books for research]], the fact that he is a fan of Super Hero Aurum is a significant plot point. [[spoiler:Namely, when the hero dropped by 200 years ago asking for directions to the strongest Overlord in the area, Mao was happy to point him in the direction of his father and let slip his weak points for an autograph, not realizing that Aurum was actually going to ''kill'' his father ([[ThouShaltNotKill because heroes don't kill their opponents in cold blood, right?]])]].
43* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He'll repeatedly mention his "1.8 Million E.Q." (Evil Quotient) which is absolutely worthless for understanding basic concepts like love, truth, and friendship.
44%%* LargeHam
45* LiteralSplitPersonality: The various Maos inside his own heart in Chapters 2 and 4.
46%%* MadScientist
47* MagicKnight: His highest aptitudes are ATK and INT, he can use both a sword and staff, and learns ice magic.
48* MemeticMolester: In an in-universe episode preview, Etna portrays him as a sexual-molesting pervert. He objects.
49* {{Nerdgasm}}: [[{{Invoked}} To the point]] that it unsettles just about everyone that's not him.
50-->'''Almaz:''' You need help in more ways than one.
51* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Mao has no compunctions against groping for the sake of science, as Almaz learned the hard way.
52-->'''Almaz:''' I think I've just been violated.
53* ObsessedWithPerfectAttendance: An inversion, having never attended a single class before but being considered an honor student due to the flipped standards of his world.
54* OddCouple: With Almaz at the beginning.
55* OminousPipeOrgan: "Fugue of Hell", Mao's {{leitmotif}}.
56* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Even after Almaz gains an actual hero title, Mao still calls him "Ex-Fake Hero".
57* OneWingedAngel: Depending on how you interpret his final skill, Vasa Aergun, he's either summoning a giant demon or transforming into it.
58* {{Otaku}}: 4 million hours on a [[BlandNameProduct Slay Station Portable]] is pretty hardcore.
59* PokeThePoodle: "...What? I only replaced all Stop signs with Yields, hid peoples' shoes, and prank called a few places at most."
60* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: 1578 years old.
61* ScarsAreForever: Has a crescent-shaped scar on his forehead, which is obscured by his bangs, but can be seen in his SuperMovePortraitAttack and his character design notes.
62%%* ScaryShinyGlasses
63* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Mao has this reaction to ''everything,'' not just Raspberyl. Any time he acts with a crumb of kindness or friendship, and someone else points it out, he throws a mini-tantrum about how he has no friends and he's never opened up his heart. See also IReadItForTheArticles, which is how he explains his love of superhero comics as mere "research."
64%%* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
65* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: His reaction to [[spoiler:Raspberyl]]'s death in the bad ending.
66* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Manifests briefly in chapter 5, fully manifests in the game's worst ending.
67* TeenGenius: Even though he's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, he's still a teenager by netherworld standards.
68* ThatCameOutWrong: A master of this, whether it's panting heavily and literally drooling over the developments in Almaz's body, demanding for Almaz to teach him about love, or telling Beryl's GirlPosse: "I'm not interested in praise. Reward me with something physical."
69* ThoseWackyNazis: Saucy Mao, the personification of Mao's love of hot sauce. ItMakesSenseInContext.
70* TooKinkyToTorture: Mao's biggest disappointment upon learning that [[spoiler:his butler Geoffery has been experimenting on him while he's unconscious]] is that he wasn't awake to remember any of it... well, the total breach of trust, too, but mostly the former. When he confronts him about it, he demands ''video''.
71* TortureTechnician: Comes natural with his love for experimenting and reconstructing his victims.
72* {{Tsundere}}: Much like Laharl, if he does something good, he'll try to deny it.
73* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: His research has left him convinced that roughly 70% of a hero's power comes from 'Love', but he doesn't comprehend it at all.
74* WhyDontYouMarryIt: The rest of the group is pretty convinced that Mao likes mad science in ''that'' sort of way. He doesn't exactly help his case against it.
75* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: In the "Human World Ending", after each of his party members dies one by one, Mao finally loses it when [[spoiler:Super Hero Aurum kills Raspberyl]]. After which, he effortlessly annihilates him and we are told he destroys the universe, and Mao is left all alone, floating in nothingness for all eternity.
76%%* WrongGenreSavvy: In one bad ending.

79[[folder:Almaz von Almandine Adamant]]
80!!Almaz von Almandine Adamant
81!!!Voiced by: Creator/HiroShimono (JP), Creator/JohnnyYongBosch (EN)
82[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/almaz_d3_3.png]]
83->A guardsman in the human world who goes to the Netherworld to fight the overlord to protect the princess. Gets his title stolen and all sorts of bad stuff comes his way.
84----
85* AllLovingHero: Minus that [[WhatTheHellHero one moment]] in chapter 4, Almaz fits the qualities of one. Kind and caring, always willing to help someone out even if he doesn't know them, and is willing to see the good in people no matter how cruel they are. He was even willing to [[spoiler:stay with Mao and convince him to stop his plan to attack the human world, and the ending depends on whether or not he is successful]].
86* AlliterativeName: '''A'''lmaz von '''A'''lmandine '''A'''damant.
87%%* AntiHero
88* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:To get his hero title back was all it took.]]
89* BadLiar: Ironically, [[spoiler:he was able to lie about being okay concerning the curse he was infected with]]. Everything else sticks out like a sore thumb.
90* BreakTheCutie: The Almaz ending. Also a minor example near the end of the game when he finds out that his superhero isn't all that it seems.
91* TheChewToy: My god...this guy is unlucky. Taken to {{woobie}} levels, especially in the Almaz ending.
92%%* ClassicalAntihero
93%%* CowardlyLion
94* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Gains considerable courage from Sapphire's presence.
95* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Not so unusual in real life, but in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' universe, the colour of his hair and eyes is as unusual as any other wacky colour.
96* CuteLittleFangs: Acquires these as he starts turning into a demon.
97* TheCutie: A rare male version.
98* DeadpanSnarker: In part because he's a [[TheChewToy chew toy]].
99* DefinitelyJustACold: His excuse when he starts getting affected by his curse.
100* {{Deuteragonist}}: Along with Mao, he undergoes his own CharacterDevelopment throughout the game and manages to, even in Mao's eyes, go from being a wannabe hero to a real one.
101* EarnYourHappyEnding: After everything he goes through, at the end of the game, he gets HappilyMarried to Sapphire.
102* TheEmpath: Becomes one as the game goes on.
103* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Dark Hero Days]]'', Hanako apparently summons him from the future after [[spoiler:he and Sapphire are married]], and as a result the two have a 99% chance of pulling off a combo attack at all times.
104* TheHeart: Functions as the member that keeps everyone together. [[spoiler:It shows in the worst ending, where his death triggers everyone to turn on Mao because he refused to grieve for him.]]
105%%* HeroicWannabe
106* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Inverted. This is his reaction to Sapphire's interest in him.
107%%* IncurableCoughOfDeath
108* KarmicTransformation: Almaz eventually realizes that his transformation into a demon was one of these.
109* KillTheCutie: Near the end of the game, he [[spoiler:gets killed shortly after protecting Sapphire. Naturally, it doesn't last long. Only in the worst ending does he stay dead, and it triggers a string of unfortunate events.]]
110* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Almaz is a tremendous Super Hero Aurum fanboy, and admits to owning a tremendous amount of merchandise based on him. [[spoiler:Naturally, he has the most trouble out of the main characters in accepting that Aurum is really evil.]]
111%%* TheLancer
112* LaserGuidedKarma: The cause of his example of ThrowTheDogABone and [[spoiler:RagsToRoyalty]].
113* MadeASlave: Mao's slave at that.
114* MoralityPet: Not to the extent of Beryl, but also serves as one to Mao [[spoiler:as shown in the worst ending, where his death contributes part of Mao's FaceHeelTurn and turns everyone against Mao]].
115* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His reaction to [[spoiler:what he does to Mao in chapter 4. Thinking he did a good thing by pulling the plug and shutting down his father inside of his heart, Almaz didn't realize that he mentally destroyed Mao in the process.]]
116%%* NiceGuy
117* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: The Almaz ending.
118* OddCouple: With Mao in the beginning, when it is just the two of them on the team.
119* OnlySaneMan: To his chagrin, given what he's surrounded by.
120* ThePowerOfTrust: He constantly talks about trust and friendship toward Mao. [[spoiler:The ending depends on if his talk about trust gets through.]]
121* RagsToRoyalty: He marries Sapphire in the normal ending.
122* ScarfOfAsskicking: He kicks ass when he needs to.
123* SpannerInTheWorks: Because of Almaz' presence, [[spoiler:the BigBad could not accomplish his goals of turning Mao into the perfect Overlord that he wanted him to be. Almaz is the reason that Mao opens his heart, effectively ruining his plans to have Mao go to the dark side. This is the reason why Aurum wanted him dead the most, but Almaz managed to cheat death at the very end, resulting in a VillainousBreakdown at the beginning of chapter 8.]]
124** [[spoiler:In a sense, Almaz is the very reason why Aurum fails to get everything he wants in multiple endings. In the worst ending, Almaz may have stayed dead as he planned, but it resulted in Mao being too powerful for Aurum to kill (Beryl also contributed to this). In the Almaz ending, Almaz prevents Mao from killing Aurum, meaning he's alive to see that the hero he failed to kill not only prevents his death, but also is the new Overlord. And in the normal and Super Hero Mao ending, Mao refuses to kill him and either experiments on him or forces him to be his butler again. In other words, Almaz is the very person that screws him over with ''everything'' he planned for 200 years.]]
125%%* TheStraightMan
126* TenderTears: Sheds them for Mao after [[spoiler:everyone recognizes him as the freshman leader given that Mao won't cheer on the outside]]. Naturally, Mao is disturbed by this act.
127** He does it again [[spoiler:when he realizes how much Mao is suffering because of his father's death]].
128%%* ThrowTheDogABone
129* TheVonTropeFamily: Almaz '''von''' Almandine Adamant.
130* WhatTheHellHero: While Almaz didn't know that pulling the plug would make Mao's mind revert back to a baby, announcing his attentions after [[spoiler:he promised Mao he would stay by his side and then later using the Princess as an excuse for wanting to leave the Netherworld while Mao was in that infant state]] gets him chewed out by Geoffrey, Champloo, and Sapphire, with Sapphire being the one that sends him into a minor {{Heroic BSOD}}. He quickly recovers thanks to Champloo's lecture that makes him go back into Mao's heart to set things right.
131%%* YankTheDogsChain

134[[folder:Raspberyl]]
135!!Raspberyl
136!!!Voiced by: Creator/ChiwaSaito (JP), Creator/LauraBailey (EN)
137[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Raspberyl_5628.png]]
138[[caption-width-right:205:Normal outfit]]
139[[quoteright:215:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Raspberyl_2_1664.png]]
140[[caption-width-right:215:Teacher outfit]]
141->Mao's childhood friend and the school's resident delinquent (a position which she maintains by being an almost [[MessianicArchetype Messianic Do-Gooder]]) who tries to talk Mao out of the whole "Hero" thing because she thinks he might end up stealing her thunder. Calls herself Beryl and comes with her own posse of {{Technical Pacifist}}s.
142----
143* AlphaBitch: Beryl is the demonic version of this, which is an inversion.
144* AntiAntichrist: Okay, not ''nearly'' as dramatic as most examples, but she's a demon who's rebelling against the perceived notion of "demonness."
145* ArrangedMarriage: With Mao, as arranged by their parents. May be a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage at that.
146* AttentionWhore: She never skips, is always punctual, and obeys a self-imposed curfew because she thinks it makes her a badass. Whenever there seems to be competition for her delinquent position, such as with Rutile, she gets competitive or outright jealous rather than pleased that other people are doing good things.
147%%* BadassAdorable
148%%* BadassBookworm
149%%* BadassInDistress: During [[spoiler:Chapter 3]].
150* BigEater: Asuka mentions that Raspberyl eats all the lunches of her absent classmates for them... but since they're always absent, she eats about ''thirty'' lunches per day.
151* BlushSticker: Gets them when she is very happy.
152* CoolDownHug: Uses this to prevent Mao's ''really'' evil side from taking over. TWICE!!
153* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: She defies demon tradition by acting against how a stereotypical demon behaves because she thinks it makes her a badass.
154* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink hair, pink eyes.
155* CuteMonsterGirl: According to Sapphire, at least.
156%%* CutesyDwarf
157* {{Delinquents}}: She strives to be as much of a delinquent as possible, with the catch being that she's doing it by ''demon'' standards, meaning her behavior is flawless by normal human standards. However, do keep in mind that she seems to be mostly doing all this to be cool, not because she genuinely believes in doing the right thing.
158* EvenEvilHasStandards: She and her GirlPosse are shocked and repulsed by the fact that Mao wishes to open his heart to remove the fake hero title. Kyoko supposedly even throws up a little in her mouth.
159* TheFettered: By her dedication to being a delinquent, to the point that she's forced to bow out of fighting Mao several times because she has to hurry off to class or make it home before her self-imposed curfew.
160* GirlPosse: Kyoko and Asuka.
161* GoGetterGirl: She has dedicated her life to becoming the greatest delinquent that there ever was.
162%%* HornedHumanoid
163* GoneHorriblyRight: In her special episode, her many attempts to impart the goodness of being a delinquent to her students only end up making them believe she's putting up a fake facade of a delinquent to bring chaos to other places (their field trip to Celestia somehow looked like an invasion). She wonders aloud if she's actually an honor student instead until she snaps out of it.
164* InSeriesNickname: As mentioned above, she prefers to go by Beryl.
165* {{Leitmotif}}: "Brilliant Blue" pretty much became this to her.
166%%* LovableAlphaBitch
167* LovedByAll: [[spoiler:While they don't admit it outwardly, she's beloved by the entire student body. In fact, saving her allows Mao to become the Freshman Class President through popular vote.]]
168* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:When she dies in the bad ending.]]
169* MoralityPet: To Mao.
170* NeverTrustATrailer: The opening shows demons raising their arms and singing as Beryl runs down the halls into class, as if they're praising her. Two big problems with this, a) All of Evil Academy seem to despise her for being a NobleDemon, and b) She would never even ''consider'' running down the halls. She even tells Kyoko and Asuka not to ever ''dare'' do it practically at the very beginning of the game, before we even know who she is.
171** TrailersAlwaysSpoil: While she would never run in the halls, [[spoiler:it turns out her demonic peers actually respect her and are grateful for her help, even if they're mostly too obsessed with appearing properly evil. When she's kidnapped, several express concern, and Mao actually doing something about it earns him high regard]].
172* ObsessedWithPerfectAttendance: She has perfect attendance in each of her classes, which considering the BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad nature of the Disgaea series is one of many reasons she is considered a delinquent student.
173* OlderThanTheyLook: 1578 years old, but she looks like she's 13-15 years old
174* OneeSama: How Kyoko and Asuka address her in Japanese; translated as 'my lady'.
175* PlayingWithFire: Her primary element.
176%%* ProperTightsWithASkirt
177* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: 1578.
178%%* SailorFuku
179* ShipTease: With Mao.
180** Especially in Raspberyl Mode. Honestly, she couldn't be more obvious, really.
181* ShipperOnDeck: She just loves pairing [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Adell and Rozalin]] up; in both the {{DLC}} in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|Absence of Justice}}'' and the extra content in ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Dark Hero Days]]''. She also enjoyed watching Almaz and Sapphire develop into a couple throughout the main game. Being a ShipperOnDeck is a requirement for being a delinquent, it seems.
182%%* TheSmartGuy
183* {{Squee}}: How she reacts to things like meeting a rare spawn like a hero, or seeing elusive skills like love and affection in action.
184%%* TokenMiniMoe
185* {{Tsundere}}: With Mao.

190!!!Voiced by: Creator/AkikoHasegawa (JP), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)
191[[quoteright:315:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sapphire_6569.png]]
192->Princess of her kingdom. Very aggressive despite her appearance. Probably best described as a CloudCuckoolander raised by Machiavelli. Has decided that the best way not to be a DamselInDistress is to kill via pre-emptive strike anyone who might kidnap her.
193----
194%%* AxCrazy
195* BadassNormal: Along with most humans in your party.
196* BattleCouple: [[spoiler:With Almaz]]; also leads to GameplayAndStoryIntegration with a 99% combo rate in ''Dark Hero Days''.
197* ChainsawGood: Not in the game itself, but in one of the scenes, when she feels she should take action with helping to open Mao's heart, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she plans to do so with a chainsaw]], which sends him running away with his tail between his legs.
198* CombatMedic
199* CutenessProximity: Sends Beryl to MarshmallowHell upon meeting her, and later sets off a trap that uses a stuffed animal for bait.
200* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Her chainsaw, played for laughs in one of the game's more well-known (funniest) scenes. Also proficient with axes.
201* HeadTurningBeauty: Gameplay, not story, as her evility is like Rozalin's in ''Disgaea 2''.
202* HellishPupils: While common in ''Disgaea'', hers deserve special mention because a) she's not a demon and b) they're star shaped.
203%%* HeroicComedicSociopath
204* HighClassGloves: Though armored, her gloves are still quite fancy.
205* IAmAMonster: "Demons are cold and heartless, huh? Then maybe... I truly am a demon."
206* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her clothes are still very fancy and opulent, yet still allow her to brawl.
207%%* LadyOfWar
208* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Her natural conclusion to nearly every problem that arises.
209* MyEyesAreLeaking: [[spoiler:Sapphire doesn't realize that she's crying for the very first time until Almaz points it out to her.]]
210%%* {{Ojou}}
211* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: She taught herself to defend the kingdom [[OneWomanArmy on her own.]]
212* PrettyInMink: Her royal ensemble includes a jacket trimmed with fur.
213* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's the kingdom's army. Just her, nobody else. She's more than enough.
214* SaveThePrincess: Inverted. She watched a countless stream of servants and heroes get themselves killed in her name. Now she's going to kill anything and everything that might threaten a hero. And she ''can''. Also the reason she's AxCrazy.
215* SecretTestOfCharacter: When chewing Almaz out in chapter 4, it was a test to see if he was really the kind of person she thought he was, thus worthy of her affection. In a rather deadpan way, she states she would have killed him if he failed.
216* ShipperOnDeck: If the drama CD's are anything to go by, seems like she ships Beryl and Mao.
217* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: [[spoiler:She marries Almaz in the normal ending]].
218* SuddenlyFluentInGibberish: Subverted. She doesn't ''really'' understand what regressed Mao is saying -- she's just kinda ''[[MurderIsTheBestSolution hoping]]'' that he's allowing them to murder the residents of his heart.
219* TechnicolorEyes: Neon green with white star-shaped pupils.
220* UnableToCry: [[spoiler:Until Almaz revives]].
221* {{Unicorn}}: Sapphire summons a [[HealingHands healing]] unicorn in her last Special Attack.
222* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Many of her bloodthirsty thoughts are due to this.
223* WrongGenreSavvy: Her initial plan to enter the Netherworld to kill the Overlord plotting to kidnap her, except, as she learns, there were no demons planning to kidnap her. [[spoiler:Instead, actually going to the Netherworld puts her in danger, since she ends up in a trap Aurum set for Almaz.]]
224* {{Yandere}}: And how! Almaz tends to be safe from her murderous impulses, though he does get hit by her on occasion...

230[[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Mr_Shamploo2_5590.png]]
231->Evil Academy's legendary, strict Home Ec teacher, an incredibly [[HotBlooded enthusiastic]] practitioner of the deadly Fire Chaos Style Kitchen Fist. He has a tendency to make wise observations wrapped in cooking metaphors, but he's also surprisingly competent and notably altruistic. Tags along with Mao for his own reasons, but seems to know an awful lot about a variety of things despite not being on the school's payroll ''or'' its insurance.
232----
233* BatmanGambit: Not the orchestrator, but the prime agent of it. The orchestrator is [[spoiler:Mao's dad]].
234* BunnyEarsLawyer: Who knew that various cooking styles could translate so well into deadly martial arts techniques?
235* ChekhovsGunman: Has elements of this that are revealed in [[spoiler:the final episode]].
236%%* HotBlooded
237* HotbloodedSideburns: You could swear the man stepped straight out of ''Manga/GetterRobo'', HotBlooded-ness and all.
238* IceCreamKoan: Any life-lesson can be explained with cooking metaphors. He and Almaz get into quite a lengthy conversation using nothing but these in chapter 4.
239* LargeHam: With a delicious seasoning and glaze.
240* NobleDemon: Doesn't even bother ''pretending'' to be evil and appears to actually care about Mao and others' well-being.
241* PowerFist: Fire Chaos Style Kitchen Fist is deadly indeed!
242%%* RealMenCook
243* TeamChef: He's a Home Ec teacher. You gotta figure he knows how to cook.
244* VerbalTic: BOOM!

250[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MasterBigStar_5908.png]]
251->The Sophomore Class Leader. A [[TheDandy good-looking gentleman]] who does a fantastic job at being a leader, and looks down upon Mao for lacking good leadership traits.
252----
253* AdvertisedExtra: He's presented as the BigBad in the opening. He isn't.
254%%* AFatherToHisMen
255%%* BigManOnCampus
256%%* BishieSparkle
257* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[spoiler:He asked the developers himself after his unfortunate letter event to fix his name, but he said that they told him that they refused the five times he reported it because it was supposed to look like that in the scene.]] [[NoFourthWall Not that you should feel surprised.]]
258* CapeWings: Inverted, his wings serves as his two-pieced cape.
259* TheDandy: They don't get much dandier than the former page image himself.
260* FullNameBasis: Starts regretting it after [[spoiler:someone steals the space and letter "a" in his name, and he could only afford a new "e", changing his name to Master Bigster.]] He asks the cast to stop after this, but they refuse.
261* MrFanservice: One of his abilities even increases the stats of adjacent female allied units.
262* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: 2,764.
263* NeverTrustATrailer: The opening shows him fighting Mao alongside Salvatore. However, not only is he never fought until the post-game, but he and Salvatore were in an all-out ''war'' against each other.
264* SomethingAboutARose: He holds one in his official art and his idle animation.

271->A member of the Diez Gentlemen. She is a military woman who gives (impossible) orders to her enemies as well as her own men. [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn Quits the Diez Gentlemen]] soon after she discovers she was working for Super Hero Aurum the whole time.]]
272----
273* TheBaroness: Mostly the Sexpot variant, although she has elements of the Rosa Klebb (Almaz's reaction to her statement that Baal stole her "womanliness" is basically, "''what'' womanliness?")
274* {{BFG}}: Great Gun King, a skill where she summons a Big Freaking GOLDEN Gun out of nowhere, shoots a Big Freaking BULLET out of it, and ''rides the bullet as it speeds toward the targets.''
275%%* CommissarCap
276* TheDragon: for the Senior Class Leader [[spoiler:(A.K.A, Aurum[=/=]Geoffery)]]
277* HeelFaceTurn: Starts out as an enemy but switches sides later.
278%%* HellBentForLeather
279%%* LadyOfWar
280* TheMagnificent: She's actually literally called "the Magnificent".
281* NeverTrustATrailer: The opening shows her fighting Mao alongside Master Big Star. However she and Master Big Star were in an all-out ''war'' against each other.
282* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: 2,666.
283* RuleOfCool: Her orders invariably invoke this. She'll frequently order her enemies to attack her in improbable and over the top ways.
284--> Master Big Star, you will burrow underground and attack me with 5,000,000°C magma! Aim for my heart! The rest of you, transform into a giant invincible robot and blast the area with a -5000°C blizzard!

294https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evil_god_aurum.png[[/labelnote]] to see [[spoiler:Evil God Aurum]].]]
295->Mao's loyal and incredibly efficient butler, capable of creating devices on the fly to aid Mao or open dimensional gates that are supposedly incapable of being opened. He does it all so Mao can be the strongest Overlord. And once that happens, he plans on doing battle with him and in the end either defeat him or die in battle against him. [[spoiler:In reality, he is Super Hero Aurum, a legendary hero who had battled numerous Overlords, including Mao's father who he killed.]]
296----
297* AndIMustScream: His fate as [[spoiler:Mao's guinea pig for his experiments in the normal ending.]]
298* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He's the [[spoiler:Senior Class Leader.]]
299* BecomingTheMask: In one ending, Mao refuses to [[spoiler:kill him. Realizing that he's stuck, Aurum resumes his role as Geoffrey.]]
300* BigBad: [[spoiler:He's been grooming Mao to be a powerful overlord that he, as Super Hero Aurum, can take down]].
301* BigNo: In the end when he realizes that his story ends with a one-way trip to [[spoiler:Mao's laboratory.]]
302* BloodKnight: He believes that, without a villain to fight, a hero's existence [[VictoryIsBoring has no meaning]].
303* BreakingTheFourthWall: Upon revealing himself, the gang get ready to [[spoiler:battle him as the final boss; he decides to let you save before finally facing him. Almaz even lampshades this by wondering why he didn't finish them off, clearly observing that Aurum could've easily killed them all at that moment if he wanted to.]]
304* BrokenPedestal: This guy was seen as a hero by everyone in the human world and even to some in the Netherworld, particularly Mao and Raspberyl. When Almaz and Sapphire get to see the real him, they can't stand him.
305* CatchPhrase: "I thought this might happen, so..."
306%%* ChekhovsGunman
307* ChewingTheScenery: Any time he uses his "Hero voice".
308* ContractualGenreBlindness: He knows that he's a character in a video game and that he's [[spoiler:a boss opposing the protagonists,]] but remains convinced that he's a hero, in his own twisted definition. This is especially notable [[spoiler:prior to the final battle against him when he reveals his OneWingedAngel form. Despite him claiming this form to be majestic, everyone lambasts it for its ObviouslyEvil appearance.]]
309* CoveredWithScars: At the end of the credits, we see that Aurum has scars around his chest due to Mao's experiments.
310* CrazyPrepared: Note his catch phrase, he uses nearly every time something unexpected happens, which every single chapter.
311* CreateYourOwnVillain: The goal of Aurum's EvilPlan was to turn Mao into a villain capable of defeating the Super Hero.
312* DeathSeeker: He's not just looking to die... he's looking to die in a blaze of glory to something unimaginably powerful, the only way a proper hero should die. He actually ''has'' died several times in the past, it simply wasn't allowed to stick. This may have been one of the things that sent him over the edge.
313* DubNameChange: Geoffrey's name in the original Japanese version is Jiiya.
314* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Like Vulcanus before him, he doesn't understand that good and evil aren't what you're called, they're what you ''do.'' He's got the label of "Super Hero", but he's really just a man devoted to fighting more and more powerful enemies.
315* FallenHero: [[spoiler:He's Almaz's idol, Super Hero Aurum]].
316* GoneHorriblyRight: In the Human World Ending, [[spoiler:Aurum kills Raspberyl before Mao, and he goes crazy with anger and unleashes his full potential. Aurum, excited, tries to fight him as a worthy threat to take down, but he's easily killed off without inflicting any damage. [[OhCrap Then everything dies.]]]]
317* HeelFaceBrainwashing: In Raspberyl Mode, due to Mao.
318* HeelFaceTurn: Played with in the Super Hero Mao ending. After some convincing from the party (and Mao's father), Aurum becomes Geoffrey again and resumes his role as Mao's hypercompetent butler.
319* HyperCompetentSidekick: He has a knack for anticipating almost everything Mao (Or Beryl in Raspberyl Mode) needs.
320%%* TheJeeves
321* {{Jerkass}}: He's a total asshole to his biggest fans, along with [[spoiler:having no problems murdering them.]]
322* KarmaHoudini: In the Super Hero Mao ending, where he's simply allowed to become Geoffrey again with no punishment whatsoever.
323* KnightOfCerebus: He may spew a couple of fourth wall breaking jokes and has a hilariously over-the-top hero voice, but the moment he shows up, the story takes a darker turn.
324* LaserGuidedKarma: He experimented on Mao for years to turn him into the strongest Overlord, [[spoiler:so it's only fitting that Aurum gets turned into a test subject for Mao to experiment on in the normal ending]].
325* MoneyDearBoy: Invoked. The heroic stuff he reportedly spouted that Almaz is so fond of? [[spoiler:He said it to sell his comic books.]]
326* OneWingedAngel: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by both him and Mao, respectively. [[spoiler:He claims his Evil God form to be majestic, but the dark aura and demonic body parts floating behind him makes it [[ObviouslyEvil anything but]] and the entire party chews him out for it.]]
327%%* ServileSnarker
328* SmugSnake: For all his arrogance and his ability to anticipate and plan for things that he couldn't have possibly expected, his plan to turn Mao into an evil overlord fails utterly in all but one ending, and in the one ending it succeeds in it turns out to have GoneHorriblyRight as he ends up creating a OmnicidalManiac that effortlessly curbstombs him before destroying the entire universe.
329* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Strapped to [[spoiler:Mao's]] operating table in the normal ending.
330* TakingTheBullet: To protect Mao from Salvatore. [[CrazyPrepared Good thing he had that bulletproof vest.]]
331* UnusualEyebrows: Curly ones that swoop upward. [[spoiler:A trait that Aurum retained when he became Geoffrey.]]
332* VillainousBreakdown: He has a minor one at the beginning of chapter 8 upon finding out that [[spoiler:Almaz was still alive after that curse was supposed to kill him, and another one at the end if Mao refuses to kill him.]]
333%%zce* WalkingSpoiler: His true role in the game make his this.

337!!Asuka Cranekick and Kyoko Needleworker
338!!!Asuka is voiced by: Natsuki Kosaka (JP, main series), Sakura Matsumoto (JP, Vita extra scenarios), Creator/StephanieSheh (EN)
339!!!Kyoko is voiced by: Shizuka Arai (JP), Creator/LaraJillMiller (EN)
340[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dsfsf_1678.png]]
341[[caption-width-right:297:Kyoko and Asuka]]
342->Asuka and Kyoko are two female demons, a Lady Samurai and Ninja respectively, who work alongside Raspberyl as "demon delinquents". They join the team along with Beryl after their graduation.
343----
344* ADayInTheLimelight: They get their own story mode in ''Absence of Detention''.
345* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Both wear copious amounts of the same shade of pink as Beryl's hair.
346%%* TheDividual
347* {{Fainting}}: Asuka nearly does an Emotional Faint when [[spoiler:Mao kills the first Beryl doppleganger without warning]].
348* TheFettered: Same as their lady.
349%%* GirlPosse
350* HighlyVisibleNinja: Justified with Kyoko as being stealthy is not the delinquent way, preferring to fight in broad daylight instead. It's also probably so that her outfit matches with Raspberyl and Asuka.
351* InsaneTrollLogic: They both keep making hasty conclusions about Raspberyl's lovesickness in their story mode after seeing her depressed and tired, bringing up potential love candidates as they spy on her delinquent actions. In the end, it turns out that [[spoiler:she was truthfully tired because she had been making gifts for both of them to congratulate them for being together over 100 years]].
352* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler:Asuka was diagnosed with demon leukemia a long time ago. If it wasn't for Raspberyl being her donor, she would've been in bed even today]].
353* MeaningfulName: Asuka enjoys folding [[ThousandOrigamiCranes paper cranes]], while Kyoko is an avid seamstress.
354* PaletteSwap: Of the Lady Samurai and the Kunoichi, respectively. Oddly enough, they still have a single unique move each. [[note]]Two in Raspberyl Mode.[[/note]]
355* PaperMaster: Asuka
356* RecurringExtra: Invoked. They always follow Raspberyl everywhere she goes, including cutscenes. Most of the time they're just there in the background watching everything unfold. Averted a bit in the UpdatedRerelease where they get their own story mode.
357* RedOniBlueOni: Subtle, but still present. Kyoko is generally the first of the pair to speak up and shows her emotions more strongly, particularly when it comes to her OneeSama Beryl. Asuka, meanwhile, is more soft-spoken and calmer, though she shows Raspberyl just as much respect.
358* TomboyishPonytail: Kyoko's sweeps upwards, while Asuka's sweeps back and downward. Both styles keep it out of the way.
359* YamatoNadeshiko: Asuka is one according to her Evility.
360[[/folder]]
361
362[[folder:Vato Bros.]]
363!!The Vato Bros.
364->The Vato Bros. - Chewie, Cholo, and Churro by name - are a trio of Orc honor students who (in the English dub) speak with heavy Latino accents. They serve the same game role as [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Mid-Boss]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Axel]], as recurring comic relief characters.
365----
366* FlunkyBoss: Stages with them usually have the Vato Bros. standing up on a platform away from the action while their lower-level friends attack.
367%%* GoldfishPoopGang
368%%* {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s
369* {{Irony}}: Mao, with his 1.8 Million evil IQ, [[EvilCannotComprehendGood can't wrap his mind around basic concepts like friendship and love]]. The Vato Brothers, despite being weaker and not as quick on the uptake, practically ''run'' on friendship.
370* PaletteSwap: They're ordinary orcs who just happen to be purple.
371* ThePowerOfFriendship: Firm believers in this.
372* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:With the help of their 200,000 family members.]]
373* VerbalTic: Each one has a different copula. (Ese for Chewie, homes for Cholo, and weddo for Churro.)
374** Lampshaded later when they temporarily drop it, and Mao can't tell the difference between them.
375** Their Japanese verbal tics are the same as their names: Yansu, Zansu, and Gozansu.
376* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: They have one strategy: calling upon their friends for help. They just apply this in different ways.

380!![=BeyondX=]
381[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-BeyondX_720.jpg]]
382A bizarre girl with the ability to shape shift. She, like Salvatore, is a member of the Diez Gentlemen.
383----
384* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: [[spoiler:While not the first Disgaea boss to change levels from different times, it's probably worth noting that when you talk to her in the hub area when she's Ms. Machiko, she's listed as level 500, which puts her as being more powerful than the final boss. Both times you fight her, she's nowhere nearly that powerful.]]
385* CosplayOtakuGirl: Due to her shapeshifting ability others view her as such, although she denies it.
386** Though when you run into her in the Item World's Innocent towns, she sometimes does ask about Mao's opinion on cosplaying girls.
387* PaletteSwap: Of the generic mage class.
388* SuccubiAndIncubi: One of her "disguises" is that of [[spoiler:Ms. Machiko]], a succubus.
389* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Which she uses for (cosplay) covert operations.

397[[quoteright:266:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rutile2_3850.png]]
398->A 15-year old halfling Nekomata raised on Earth. She's unfamiliar with the ways of the Netherworld, so she transfers to Evil Academy to learn more. Though gentle and trusting, she packs a lot of power into her small frame. She's one of two new characters exclusive to the PS Vita re-release.
399----
400* BadassAdorable: Cute, adorable, half-human[=/=]half-nekomata young girl. Capable of defending herself as well.
401* {{Catgirl}}: She's got a tail and cat-ears.
402%%* CombatMedic
403* CrutchCharacter: Subverted, depending on the player's party levels. On low level parties, she has a special that hits for 1600-2100 damage -- enough for the player to breeze through levels. However, [[spoiler:she leaves at the end of the chapter, but then joins again after the following map]].
404%%* CuteLittleFangs
405* DiskOneNuke: Comes with a special that deals massive damage to an enemy. After finishing her scenario, you can use her in the main cycle if your party members are way behind!
406* {{Delinquents}}: Inverted example, much like Raspberyl. She's basically touted as being more of a Delinquent than Raspberyl, even though all she did was pay her school fees.
407* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: Another reason for her transfer to the Netherworld is to get a better hold on her strength, as she's accidentally destroyed stuff in the Human World schools, causing her to be ostracized.
408* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler:To Stella when she goes into full SanitySlippage]].
409* HalfHumanHybrid: Her father is human. Her mother is a Nekomata demon.
410* NewTransferStudent: From the Human World. [[spoiler:And from Majin Academy acting as a spy]].
411* TheMole: To Stella, but [[spoiler:she does it only because she's awfully worried about Stella.]]
412* NiceGirl: Very trusting of others, though a bit naive.
413%%* PintsizedPowerhouse
414* PowerFist: Her most proficient weaponry set is fists, thanks to training from her mother.
415* SailorFuku: But only the top.
416* SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: [[spoiler:Subverted; she leaves at the end of the first chapter, but she joins again after the second chapter's first map.]]
417* TokenMiniMoe: She's the youngest character in the remake since most of the other characters are Really700YearsOld

420[[folder:Stella Grossular]]
421!! Stella Grossular
422!!!Voiced by: Creator/SaoriHayami (JP), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (EN)
423[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stella_grossular.png]]
424->The sole daughter of the Chief Director of Death Institute, Majin Academy, a rival school to Evil Academy, and also its acting Student Body President. She raises monsters, with slimes and zombies being her favorites. She has a spoiled, uppity attitude, which is strangely countered by an immature, prank-loving side. The second of the two new characters. [[spoiler:Her behavior stems from struggling to gain the approval of her father, who was in fact killed by Aurum, but Stella couldn't cope with it and continued trying to earn his approval while talking to his dead body.]]
425----
426* AcademicAlphaBitch: What she comes across. [[spoiler:It's mostly her SanitySlippage at play]].
427* AcademyOfEvil: Majin Academy, where the main goal is to teach students to become Majins. [[spoiler:The only Majin being Stella, much to her dismay]].
428* DiskOneNuke: Comes at level 90. A big deal if your other party members are way behind.
429** Even more-so in VideoGame/Disgaea4 on the Vita, as you can get her as soon as you have 100 mana, and she has all her abilities and stats from this game.
430* DistaffCounterpart: To Mao.
431* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:Towards Rutile.]]
432* KnightOfCerebus: Not initially, when she just comes off as a jerk, [[spoiler:but after TheReveal that her father was DeadAllAlong, she turns into a darker character as a result of her SanitySlippage.]]
433* HeelFaceTurn: At the end of her scenario.
434%%* HornedHumanoid
435* OneWingedAngel: Her "Flame Hazard" special transforms her into a gigantic lava lizard.
436* {{Ojou}}: Believes everything she does is "elegant".
437%%* OjouRinglets
438* PlayingWithFire: She even has an evility that drops the fire resistances of everyone else on the map aside from herself.
439* Really700YearsOld: 1657 years old.
440* SanitySlippage: After [[spoiler:her father was defeated and subsequently killed by Aurum]], she slowly fell into this.
441* SuckySchool: Let's just say that [[spoiler:it's quite pathetic your Majin school doesn't have above seven students that aren't even close to becoming Majin. It's because of this that Stella tries to ruin Evil Academy's reputation.]]
442%%* {{Tsundere}}
443* WellDoneDaughterGirl: And she's trying to get the approval of somebody [[spoiler:who's dead.]]
444[[/folder]]
