* SmittenTeenageGirl: Her crush on Laharl is unnaturally intense considering he is a irritable and disagreeable young demon who does not appreciate the attention he gets from her at all.

!! Ozonne
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ozonne2_6759.png]]
-> Flonne's younger sister. Rare kind of angel: she likes money more than love and is the exact opposite of Flonne. She ran away from home. She is fond of Laharl since he's the Overlord, and she is always arguing with Flonne.

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: When Ozonne met Laharl she was disappointed by his looks.
-->''You're the Overlord? You're tinier than I thought.''

* GoodIsNotNice: She is a good person with the best of intentions for the people angels have vowed to protect, yet really unpleasant to be around unless you share her perspective.

* IAmNotMyFather: She is ashamed of even being related to her parents.
-->''I get goosebumps just from thinking that I'm related to them by blood.''
* InformedAttribute: The {{narrator}} claims Ozonne is slightly better endowed than Flonne. The artwork does not back this up.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: According to the narrator, the only thing that distinguishes her from completely resembling a male is the very very slight curve of her breasts.
* LoveFreak: Completely inverted of course.
-->''Love? What's the use for some insubstantial thing like that?''
%%* LittleMissSnarker
* [[BigBrotherBully Little Sister Bully]]: Prone to verbally bully Flonne.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Money is the solution, not love.
-->''Love isn't a solution to world hunger, is it? Just give them money.''
%%* RebelliousSpirit
* TheResenter: She appears to not only [[GreenEyedMonster envy]] Flonne but resent her deeply as well.
* TheRunaway: She ran away from home 400 years ago because she could not stand her parents and their [[LoveFreak endless worship of love]] any longer.
* SiblingTriangle: Both Flonne and Ozonne fancy Laharl.

* {{Tomboy}}: It is mentioned a lot of times that she acts like a guy.
* TransNature: Ozonne wants to become a demon (more precisely a fallen angel) because she does not fit in with the other Celestians and so she can be with Laharl, in fact she thinks marrying Laharl will cause her to become a fallen angel.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Laharl. She's notably even harsher than usual when talking to Flonne.
* {{Tsurime Eyes}}: Laharl notes that her eyes are a bit like [[{{Tareme Eyes}} Flonne's eyes]] when she's angry, but even more vindictive.

!! Terre and Elle
[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/terre_and_elle_4_731.png]]

Tropes associated with Terre and Elle:
* AngelicBeauty: It is easy to see where Flonne gets her good looks from.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: And now we know where Flonne gets it from.

* HeartSymbol: They got hearts floating around them in both of the images they appear in.

She carries a Masamune she created out of Caliburn, and she's a Master Swords-woman. She can't use magic but she can use a couple-hundred swords at the same time. She is on a journey to find both Caliburn and Excalibur, because she burns with passion as a 'Sword Maniac'. Her power is equal to that of Laharl, and her life is divided between several other archangels. She has once beaten Laharl. She was once an archangel working under Lamington, but since angels change between male and female depending on the situation, after becoming a Sword Master her male-side dominated her heart. But after she lost to Laharl, her female-side took over, she fell in love with Laharl and now she stays at the Overlord's castle.

!! Gwen / The Queen
[[quoteright:267:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gwen2_7437.png]]
-> Wife of the [[Myth/KingArthur King]] who ruled the human world about a thousand years ago. Laharl met her when he and Flonne travelled back in time. He became very fond of her since he was aware that she's in fact his mother. After Sakura came to steal the King's Excalibur, she and Gwen went to the future world of the Netherworld.

Tropes associated with Gwen:

%%* BowAndSwordInAccord

* GoodParents: To her son, Laharl. She loved him more then anything else and raised him to be a good boy. Then she had to [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest sacrifice herself]] so save him from a incurable disease. [[IMissMom It broke his heart]].
* HotConsort: [[spoiler: Twice]].
* InterspeciesRomance: She's a human who has this with King Krichevskoy, a demon.
* LadyOfWar: A [[ProperLady proper]], graceful and dignified badass queen.
* LoveAtFirstSight: With King Krichevskoy, according to Etna.
* LoveFreak: Laharl's mother was described to have been very similar to Flonne, so it's reasonable to assume she's a milder and calmer version of this.
%%* MadeASlave
* ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: She ended up marrying Overlord Krichevskoy, who was so powerful that he could knock down mountains, freeze oceans and split the ground in two. How they managed to make Laharl is a mystery.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She married a demon Overlord who most likely was several thousand year old at the time, when she looked no older then 20.
* ModestRoyalty: Both of the outfits she is seen in are modest and simple (by Disgaea standards that is).
* ProperLady: Possesses almost all of the characteristics; gentle, strong, virtuous, sacrificing, wise, loving, caring, tasteful, civilized, mannerly, devoted and loyal. Not to mention British. The only exception is that she does not require protection.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: No less than a fighting Queen.
* {{Sarashi}}: A part her soldier outfit.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Again, her soldier outfit. It looks very similar to [[MementoMacGuffin Laharl's scarf]].

* UndyingLoyalty: Towards her first husband. She fought loyally by his side in combat and stated that she would not want to live without him. [[spoiler: Thank god she got over it, because she had a PhysicalGod to marry and child to bear.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In both the novels and the good ending of the game is she seen [[TogetherInDeath ascending to the afterlife with Vyers (her husband)]], but [[AscendedDemon Vyers appears later as an angel]] in the novels and in several NIS games as a cameo, while Gwen is nowhere to be seen or heard from.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: [[spoiler: Her queen of the Netherworld outfit. Also very important, as her death was the cause of one of the [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness plot's]] major themes, [[ThePowerOfLove the importance of love]].]]
* WrongGuyFirst: Her first marriage didn't work out.
