41
42	----
43	* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Averted. Once The Harbinger discovers the third omensight, The Witch is shocked, wondering if Vera was in league with Voden and sought to bring about the end of the world. The truth is much more tragic.]]
44	* HappilyAdopted: After her parents died, she was adopted by Ludomir's family. The two were really close growing up. [[spoiler: So much so that Ludomir was the only person who she taught her secret seal ritual.]]
45	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Seeing the cruelties and horrors of the war led to Vera breaking the vow of neutrality she swore as Godless-Priestess to risk summoning the serpent Voden in hopes it could stop it. It takes showing her the end result to snap her out of it.]]

49	* SecretArt: Vera created her own special seal.

77	* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: If made to help The Harbinger kill Indrik, she will be despondent. Once the duo get to the vault where Kladen was kept, and which ThePlayer by now will obviously know to be empty, Draga finally snaps. she concludes that The Harbinger is actually an agent of Voden himself, and she attacks.]]
78	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=hpwFoyrxUKQ ''Pride of Pygaria'']], a serious and imperialistic theme with an ominous wail.

84	!!Emperor Indrik
85	->''"This is why I sought to perform the Rite of Ascension. The Firebird Ritual. [[AntiVillain To protect us.]]"''
86
87	The emperor of The Pygarian Empire. An arrogant and confident eagle, his ruthlessness and cruelty is what led to Rodentia declaring war and ultimately the emergence of Voden. Though a [[{{Understatement}} difficult person to get along with]], as the most powerful person in Urralia he can aid The Harbinger’s efforts in ways no other can.
88
89	----
90	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Ultimately, Indrik seeks to do what he believes is best for his empire and the world at large.

96	* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: He is the only companion who has no special ability and cannot coordinate with the PlayerCharacter.
97	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If shown the last two Omensights, Indrik is deeply ashamed to realize that [[HeelRealization his actions did not lead to the betterment of the people of Urralia, but instead only resulted in breaking them as he was once broken.]] After his HeelFaceTurn, he immediately ceases all hostilies with Rodentia, and in the GoldenEnding he ends up stepping down as Emperor.]]
98	* PlayingWithFire: Indrik commands fire magic, allowing him to lob fireballs and enemies and surround himself in a fiery bubble to protect himself. His elite soldiers also demonstrates this ability.
99	* PuppetKing: [[spoiler:Indrik was abused by the patrician Lokrin until he became a ruler suitable for Lokrin's needs. Despite Indrik outranking Lokrin, it's clear that Lokrin was always the one pulling the strings.]]
100	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Every action he took was in the belief that he was forcing people to reach their fullest potential, if need be by being re-moulded through pain into something stronger. ]]

134	* SupportPartyMember: Her companion skill greatly increases The Harbinger's movement and attack speeds.
135	* TraumaCongaLine: [[spoiler: First she discovers a Pygarian cult which her brother is involved with, she breaks her promise to Vera by channeling the power of her balalaika with intent to harm, which results in catastrophic avalanche that she just barely managed to stop.

Then she is lauded as a hero and made into the leader of the Rodential uprising against the Pygarian Empire despite never asking for any of it and while still processing the loss of her brother.

151	* GroundPound: His companion ability, which allows him to knock enemies prone.
