Attempted Rape: Vane almost rapes her at one point but is prevented from doing so by Ray. What made it even worse though was that he even threatened to have Israel rape her after he was done with her.
Heroines Want Redheads: Played straight and then subverted. Tiara had a crush on the redheaded Ralph in the beginning of the story that persisted for awhile but then she decides that they are more Like Brother and Sister. She then later gets together with Chrono who has black hair.
How Do I Use The Sword Of Time?: Tiara is unable to control the Sword of Time and what powers it gives her. Most of the miracles she does succeed in are usually due to dumb luck and the higher her emotional state the less likely it is that she can use her powers. This is of course justified that Tiara wasn't supposed to be Time and thus does not have the potential needed to control the Sword of Time.
Famous Last Words: 'You found me.' Said this in response to Tiara saying 'I've looked everywhere for you.'
Fighting From The Inside: Israel successfully fights against Vane's mind control twice, both times due to his unwillingness to harm someone he cares for (His sister, Tiara and Ray). However, he is retaken over both times.
One-Sided Synchronization: Vane forced a bond between Israel and himself that is like Synchronization but instead of it being both ways it only effects Israel if Vane gets hurt but not the other way around.
Sex Slave: It is very much implied that Vane uses him for other things than just leverage on Tiara and fighting.
Weak Willed: Subverted. This is what Vane says his is, having been able to quite easily take control of Israel's mind. However, Vane was saying this to Tiara in a malicious attempt to break her and he did take over Israel right after Israel saw his dead parents bodies which had left him in quite a vunerable postion. He is also able to to fight off Vane's mind control twice before being recaptured.
Iskander and Annice Belknight (Tiara, Israel, and Sierra's parents):
A Man Is Not a Virgin: Had his first time when he was twelve. With a prostitute. In his defense though he was tricked into it by his older step brother.
Hates Baths: Due to his weakness towards water. Does not fight taking a bath however because he knows Kivah will throw him into it if he argues. She has done it before.
Humanity Ensues: Kivah, using her power and Kryba, makes him a full blooded human at some point after the ending of the Sequel so that he and Tiara could have children. (It was at his request.)
Murder Makes You Crazy / It Gets Easier: Believes in this concept due to Kivah's upbringing (she told him that once he murdered the first time, the next kill would be easier) and it is this reason for his Thou Shalt Not Kill vow.
No Social Skills: In the beginning anyway mainly because the only one he actually wanted to socialize with was Kivah. He improves as the story goes on however by interacting with his True Companions.
Parental Abandonment / Parental Neglect: Poor Chrono has it the worse with being unable to catch a break when it comes to his parents or parental replacements. His Father is dead, having committed suicide when he found out that he had impregnated Chie when he raped her with Chrono never meeting him. Chie neglects Chrono because he was born out of said rape and claims that she does not love him (though it's clear that she does). And even Kivah, his replacement mother, will eventually leave him (and has done so already for a year between his twelfth and thirteenth birthdays) due to her Nature.
One Note Cook: Chrono can make soup... and that's all.
Real Men Hate Affection: Is annoyed and defensive by any affection given to him by either Ray or Ralph. Because of this Ray is surprised and even lampshades it when Chrono comforts him after Israel's death by giving him a one armed hug.
Royal Blood: On both sides of his family though he is illegitimate to both.
Strong Family Resemblance: Looks enough like his father that his mother hates the sight of him because it was his father that raped her. Also is nearly identical to his older half sister, Raine.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Kivah mentions that he used to be a lot sweeter and less moody when he was younger. What she doesn't mention however is the reason why he is more grouchy nowadays was directly her fault.
Would Hit a Girl: Had no qualms about slapping Tiara early on and would attack any female who gets in the way of his goals. Also punches Nira at one point when he was emotionally distraught about Kivah's supposed demise.
Revenge: Went to war with Caaslm because she blamed Chie for her Father's suicide. Was placated however when her army brought back the news that she has a younger half brother and she immediately ended the war.
The Chooserof The One: Manipulated The Sword of Time into choosing Tiara as 'Time.' Did this for selfish reasons however, making Tiara 'Time' because she wanted to keep Tiara with her and Chrono in hopes that Chrono would fall for her.
Crazy-Prepared: Has many useful objects in her Dimension Pocket. Kind of justified because she has been traveling for about a hundred years and enjoys collecting things.
Cuddle Bug: She's worst than Ray. Know that if she is not at all interested in being physically affectionate towards you that tends to mean she doesn't like you. And if that is a case, you will probably end up dead one way or another.
Love Is A Weakness: Believed in this concept during her time in Dr. Lumbar's lab. However, when the chips were down and she had to choose between misguided loyalty towards Lumbar and her love towards Santorym, Kivah chose love.
Minored in Ass Kicking: Kivah hardly ever gets into physical altercations, liking to sit back and watch her companions fight instead. That doesn't stop her however from stepping up and slaughtering anyone who pisses her off. Or messes with her little brother. Or her mates. Or Chrono.
Mysterious Past: Kept that way for a good portion of the story.
Never Gets Drunk: Despite how much alcohol she consumes, Kivah never gets inebriated.
Technically a Smile: If she doesn't have the Cheshire Cat Grin on her face, this is usually what replaces it. It's tends not to bold well for whoever Kivah is looking at when this smile appears, especially if it is coupled with her red eyes.
Deal with the Devil: Made a deal with Dr. Lumber that if he is able to impregnate her then she will give him two of her children. He ends up doing it by impregnating her with Arazoir's DNA and she conceives three puppies. She is then able to keep Sol but had to give up Maroon and Kivah. This is the main reason for Kivah's animosity towards her.
A Day In The Lime Light: Gets his very own chapter along with Datih. Also the side-story which shows the past in Dr. Lumbar's laboratory is actually told in his point of view.
Green Eyes: Although he was born with blue eyes. His green eyes are a side effect of one of the chemicals he had been injected with during his experimentation days in Dr. Lumbar's lab.
Ret Gone: Tries to manipulate Kivah into erasing him from reality so that he would be able to experience her power first hand. Kivah is stopped however by Santorym and Daith who realizes that if she does it she, they, and everyone else connected to Dr. Lumbar would be erased as well.
Shock and Awe: Due to being one of the Mata'i. Useful in his line of work since the demon he is experimenting on, The Ghato, is weak against lightning.
Absurdly Youthful Father: Due to being a demon who ages much slower than humans, Ray is this to his son who, though a Half-Human Hybrid, ages the same way as a human. They both look fifteen.
Achilles Heel: His hands, due to being a Hachi Clan member.
All of the Other Reindeer: Was treated as an outcast on his home world due to his superior skill and power.
A Man Is Not a Virgin: Had his first time with a girl from the dojo where he learned martial arts. He actually knocked her up but she never told him. Also had sex with Chrono's older sister, Raine. Much to Chrono's chagrin. It is also implied that he slept with Kendall before she was hung.
Delivery Guy: Helps the birthing of two separate children and in the Epilogue it is revealed that he delivered Tiara's two children, Israel and Kivah Ann.
Interspecies Romance: Every girl Ray has been with or had feelings for are either Human or a different demon species from him. With the exception of Rin Rin, of course.
It Gets Easier: Subverts this trope because, despite having killed at least three people directly, Ray mourns for each of them as if they were his best friends and feels great guilt for each kill.
Mayfly December Romance: With Celia and Kendall. Would have also been the case with Tiara had she reciprocated his feelings. This is especially noticeable with Celia who Ray had a romance with when she was fourteen and fifteen years later she is twenty nine while Ray still looks like a teenager.
You Can't Go Home Again: Played straight for the majority of Chasing Time but after the Downer Ending Era, deciding he has been punished enough, with having to witness the death of his love and his Vitriolic Best Bud, grants him entry back onto his world. Of course this is proved moot with the ending of the Sequel due to the Set Right What Once Went Wrong event.
Characters Associated to Ray
Hanna Hachi of the Hachi Clan (Ray's Mom):
Achilles Heel: Her hands, due to being a Hachi Clan member.
Attractiveness Isolation: Tiara mentions to Nira that, while all of the girls in her and Ralph's village were attracted to Ralph, (Tiara included) no one ever asked him to be their lover due to this trope.
Chekhov's Gunman: Is named in an offhand comment in the beginning of the story. He shows up chapters later to take his place as one of the main characters.
The Chosen One: Chosen to set free the human slaves from Lusteor, Kingdom of the Mata'i. This is, however, subverted. Ralph was only meant to receive the Kwan Dao of Rai and pass it along to his child which would, along with Time (who would have been Sierra) be the one to free the slaves. However due to Kivah's intervention in making Tiara Time, Ralph ends up doing his child's task sixteen years early.
Aggressive Categorism: States that all Ghatos are evil (Due to one killing her parents). No exceptions. Main reason for her conflict with Kivah, though in that case her accusations are notentirelyunfounded.
Demonic Possession: is possessed by an Aliuri through the Aliuri's ability to control the water Nira had accidentally swallowed in a lake she was swimming in. Nira is then forced, while fully conscious, to attack her True Companions. However, when she is facing Ralph, her Love Interest, Nira is able to break the Demonic Possession by slitting her own throat.
Heavy Sleeper: Notorious for being difficult to wake up. Usually Played for Laughs but at one point it becomes a serious flaw when Tiara wakes up to discover that she is paralyzed and is slowly being tortured through the Synchronization to Chrono. Realizing that Chrono is in danger Tiara immediately tries to wake Nira up but is unable to do so by merely calling her name. Eventually she is able to work up enough movement to throw an object at Nira's head, effectively waking her up.
Irrational Hatred: Her hatred for Kivah begins as this since she hates all Ghatos because one had killed her parents. After getting to know Kivah however, Nira's hatred becomes more genuine because she sees the murderess in Kivah and is suspicious that eventually Kivah will turn on her and their friends.
Poisoned Weapons: Icoris and Ecoris; Nira's knives. Icoris is bathed in the strongest of demon poisons while Ecoris is bathed in the strongest of human poisons.
Abusive Parent: Turns out he fathered a pair of twins to a rape victim of his. And what does he do when he finds out that they exist? He has Israel set fire to their home.
Achilles Heel: His wings that Vane keeps invisible at all times.
Mix-and-Match Demon: Although Vane was born a Magus (shadow demon), Sin placed residual pieces of seven of his victims, each from the different demon species, into Vane to give him one unique power from each of the other seven demon species.
More than Mind Control: Vane mentions that the only way for him to mind control someone is to break them so completely that they ask for him to take away their free will. This is the reason he tries to rape Tiara.
Worthy Opponent: thinks of Kivah this way. He is even disappointed when it is Ray to show up to save Tiara from getting raped instead of Kivah and even gave Kivah the 'We Can Rule Together' speech.
Master of Illusion: So good were his illusions that he was able to trick Ray into thinking that Chrono kissed him and, in response, that he killed Chrono by knocking him down some stairs. Of course, considering Chrono was synchronized to Tiara, which Raidis didn't know, it automatically put a chink in Raidis' whole revenge plot when Tiara was alive and unharmed even though Chrono was 'killed'.
Revenge: Goes after Ray and Chrono for harming him and killing his implied lover, Selene.
One-sided Synchronization / Can't Live Without You: Is synchronized to Sierra but she is not synchronized to him so if he dies or gets hurt she won't be affected but if she dies or gets hurt he will die or get hurt in the same place.
One-sided Synchronization / Can't Live Without You: Kyo is synchronized to her but she is not synchronized to him so if he dies or gets hurt she won't be affected but if she dies or gets hurt he will die or get hurt in the same place.
Long Lost Relative: Is first cousin to Kyo. When they found out though Hazel wasn't surprised for she guessed that they were related in some way though it is doubtful that she guessed they were that closely related.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Every time Arazoir appears in front of Kivah he takes on different forms that he believes would please her at the time.
She's never pleased.
The Chooserof The One: Hand picks who will be the next 'Time' after the former one dies.
Hot God: No matter what appearance he takes, he is always attractive.
