* WhipOfDominance: He's a strict, stern, and pompous prosecutor who always carries a riding crop with him, which he uses both as a prop and as a self-defense weapon, since he DoesntLikeGuns.

Dewicking as Static Character is now Definition Only.


* StaticCharacter: He's already gone through CharacterDevelopment by the time the story catches up with him and largely ends up making sure the other characters grow as well.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: His paranoia towards Falcon and his obsession with flushing out the rebels can directly lead to Cocorico's death and the two worst endings.]]



* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Played with. His reputation as a cutthroat businessman precedes him, but his employees and servants all seem to regard him very well. [[spoiler: His reputation is part of the reason why he is easy to suspect of killing his business partner.]]



* RailroadBaron: He owns several enterprises, railroads among others.

to:

* RailroadBaron: He owns several enterprises, railroads among others. It's a poetically literal example, as he is also a titled Baron.



* BornLucky: Likely in reference to the superstition about rabbit's feet, Rabbington owes what little success he has seen in life to luck. It's implied to be the only reason he didn't finish bottom of his class in law school.




to:

* SmallReferencePools: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited.]] [[spoiler: both in-universe and out. The Juan Querido disguise only works as well as it does because the average French citizen knows next to nothing about Spain, it's people, or its royal family. The same is very likely to be true of the audience, which sets up the twist.]]


Added DiffLines:

* EndearinglyDorky: As a pamphleteer, he's awkward to the point where you almost feel sorry for him. Interactions with his brother suggest that this is what he's truly like, his imperious demeanor as a judge just being a pose to intimidate witnesses. [[spoiler: He's just as pathetic right before getting gunned down by Beaumort if you can prove his guilt.]]


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: By all appearances he's an earnest advocate of the Cult of Reason. [[spoiler: However, he and his brother are just trying to exploit the chaos of a revolution to obtain power.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PunnyName: Croque-Monsieur is a French ham and cheese sandwich. As noted by Falcon, "Croque" is pronounced similarly, if not identically, to "Croc", short for crocodile.

* CatFolk

to:

* CatFolkCatFolk: An actual cat in this case, just anthropomorphized.



* HistoricalDowngrade: The real life Louis-Phillippe was swept onto the throne on the back of his reputation as a military hero and advocate of the people, becoming hated through unpopular policies as King. This Louis-Phillippe is a spoiled, snobbish ManChild who is ''deeply'' out of touch with the reality outside of his castle.



* DirtyCoward: He may be a fanatical, power-hungry lunatic, but he only ever acts by proxy and slinks away from confrontation with anyone who can threaten him. The only time he ever does his own dirty work is when he has nothing else to lose.



* HangingJudge: When put in charge of an impromptu, unofficial court, he ''tries'' to be this, but defers to the prosecution's judgement several times. [[spoiler:Again, because Romulus is guilty.]]

* ArmsDealer: Well, yeah.

to:

* ArmsDealer: Well, yeah. He appears to specialize in exotic weapons which, while beneficial in terms of martial might, also makes his handiwork easy to identify.



* AntiVillain: She just wants to build a Second Republic to help end the injustice the lower class face.

* AntiVillain: She just wants to build a Second Republic to help end the injustice the lower class face. Her willingness to resort to violent methods is entirely dependent upon whether she feels that there's a choice in the matter.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: Hector Belioz's ''Grande symphonie funèbre et triomphale''. Appropriately for a bird as devoted as Volerti, it is a piece written to celebrate King Louis-Phillippe's rise to power.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Galliarde'' from Léo Delibes' ''Le roi s'amuse''. He doesn't end up with ''Roosters and Hens'' from Saint-Saens' ''Carnival'', though fittingly the ''Danse Galliarde'' is frequently described as evoking a cockfight.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: Claude Debussy's ''Valse Romantique'', a far simpler piece than most of the songs in the game, being a light, romantic piano solo.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Lions'' from Saint-Saens' ''Carnival of the Animals'', fittingly enough.
* MeaningfulName: Orgueil is French for "pride", which suits both his species and his personality.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Aragonaise'' from Georges Bizet's famous opera ''Carmen''. Chances are good that it's ''the'' piece of classical music that instantly makes one think of Spain. [[spoiler: And in keeping with Quierdo's role, it is a stereotypically Spanish piece of music written by a Frenchman.]]
** [[spoiler: Renard Vulpes has ''Moscow'' from Charles Tournemire's 3rd Symphony, a far more understated piece than the bombastic ''Aragonaise''.]]


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Slavic March", a solemn march meant to evoke the sound of an approaching army. Suitably ominous for what Romulus gets up to.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Long-earred Characters'' from Saint-Saens' ''Carnival of the Animals''. "Long-earred Characters" is widely regarded by music historians as a euphemistic way of saying "jackasses".


Added DiffLines:

* {{Leitmotif}}: A short piece from François Couperin's ''Les Concerts Royaux,'' a collection of solo pieces meant to be chamber music for Louis XIV, the "Sun King". Perhaps meant to suggest that Louis-Phillippe is a mere triviality compared to a ''real'' French monarch.
