History Characters / CrestOfTheStars

* IGaveMyWord: If she makes a promise, she will do everything in her power to keep it. That said, she is always careful to never promise anything she doesn't have the ability to give. For example, she can't promise to give prospective allies a ship, because all Abh ships are the property of the crown and only leased out to others. But she can promise to petition the crown to grant them a lease, which she does while pointing out that she can't guarantee what the result of said petition will be. [[spoiler:It gets granted]].

* SociopathicHero: She ain't called "the Lady of Chaos" for nothing. She finds anything less than a life-or-death struggle 'boring' and when she captured an enemy vessel she gave the crew [[MortonsFork the choice between execution or 1 year's rations for a 100 year journey home through normal space.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: This character list uses the spellings commonly featured in the English official translations of the material, if available, for simplicity. The proper Baronh transliterations are listed in parentheses afterward.

** By ''Banner of the Stars',' she's taken to regularly insulting him despite the ''Basroil'''s crew acknowledging him as her "special friend". She's likely in a crabby mood during this time due to this being her first command and she is feeling the pressure ''very'' heavily. On a couple of occasions Jinto manages to take her mind off of things and she lightens up considerably.

* ImpoverishedPatrician: Jinto may be a count but the only thing to his name is his position in the Star Force. He comments on this and his quarters on the ship has a sign declaring, "The tiniest noble mansion in the empire." This changes in Banner III, [[spoiler: when Martine is finally recaptured and (reluctantly) agrees to stay with the Empire. Jinto still doesn't get to set foot on his home planet again, as this was one of the conditions Martinians required.]]
* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officer' but Lafiel and Jinto fullfil the spirit of the trope. He takes care of and otherwise protects her, while she is a good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire. On the other hand, since Jinto is kinda-sorta TheQuisling, his fellow humans see them as the darker variety.

* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officer' but Lafiel and Jinto fulfill the spirit of the trope. A good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire.

** In ''Crest of Stars'' she becomes this after arriving at Sufugnof; she gives Jinto a hard time in between moments of affection and vulnerability. She says baka complete with LuminescentBlush while telling him to shut up. Being [[FishOutOfWater out of her comfort zone]] on land probably makes her irritable.

She's likely in a crabby mood during this time due to this being her first command and she is feeling the pressure ''very'' heavily. On a couple of occasions Jinto manages to take her mind off of things and she lightens up considerably.
** By ''Banner II'', she refuses to cry over him and says that his kidnapping is his own fault but that is more TheChainsOfCommand than Tsundere. She's actually more dere-dere here than previous series.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: Ends up as Crown Princess in ''Banner V'' [[spoiler:because after the surprise attack on the capital cuts the government off from most of the Empire, she's the only recognized heir in the succession apart from the new Emperor who isn't dead or missing. She's fully aware that she could be dropped down in the succession again should any of the more senior heirs turn up during the campaign to retake the empire.]]
* WarriorPrincess: As early as Crest of Stars; take over a space station and rescue her companion without arms or back up? No problem for an Imperial Princess of the Empire.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Mandated by Imperial Law. All Abh nobles and royals have to serve in the Space Force.

* UnfortunateNames: Spoor. Get a dictionary and laugh. It's because of [[SpellMyNameWithAnS lame phonetic transcription]], as the [[ConLang correct form of her name]] in Latin script is Spaurh.

* BlasphemousBoast: In response to Angusson, who claims the title of "Prime Minister of Lognas II" by DivineRight, she says the following, "In this galaxy, Hell does indeed exist and we know this for certain because we created it and we control it."

* {{Adorkable}}: ''Passage of the Stars'' has him edge into this near the end, when he lets himself stop being TheStoic. His awkward attempts at flirting with Lexshue and the meaning of Lafiel's name being inspired by the incident with the derelict in particular ring of this.

* MeaningfulName: Well, meaningful to her parents, at least. Her name in Baronh contains "Gem" and "Source of life", obliquely drawing off an incident her parents were involved in.

* {{Adorkable}}: ''Passage of the Stars'' has him edge into this near the end, when he lets himself stop being TheStoic. His awkward attempts at flirting with Lexshue and the meaning of Lafiel's name being inspired by the incident with the derelict.

* DeclarationOfLove: A silent one near the end of ''Passage'', done by pressing her helmet to Debeusec's and mouthing "I love you".

* {{Troll}}: He told his daughter she was born of the family cat, for heaven's sake! And she was young enough to take him at his word. ''Passage'' reveals he wasn't exactly straight-laced in private around Lexshue either.

* InseriesNickname: Lexshue used to call him "my precious imperial highness". ''Passage'' reveals he wasn't exactly comfortable with it, at one point asking her to drop the "precious".

* TheStoic: To a degree; while he has emotions, he tends to keep them subdued. By his own admission, it's largely out of his own pride.

* LadyAndKnight: Technically it would be 'Captain and Supply Officier' but Lafiel and Jinto fullfil the spirit of the trope. He takes care of and otherwise protects her, while she is a good-hearted princess with a drive to serve her empire. On the other hand, since Jinto is kinda-sorta TheQuisling, his fellow humans see them as the darker variety.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Left his homeworld at the age of ten in the prologue, and goes years at a time without returning. [[spoiler:By the series finale, he is banned by treaty from ever coming back.]]

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Mandated by Imperial Law. All Abh nobels and royals have to serve in the Space Force.

* InseriesNickname: Lexshue used to call him "my precious imperial highness".

* {{Troll}}: He told his daughter she was born of the family cat, for heaven's sake! And she was young enough to take him at his word.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Lafiel is a princess. Her military superiors exploit this by ordering her on diplomatic missions which deny her the martial glory she craves.

* [[SpellMyNameWithAnS A note on spelling]]: this character list uses the spellings commonly featured in the English official translations of the material, if available, for simplicity. The proper Baronh transliterations are listed in parentheses afterward.

* BadassPrincess: As early as Crest of Stars; take over a space station and rescue her companion without arms or back up? No problem.

* SilkHidingSteel: Polite and proper even when threatening someone. By her strength of will and cleverness, [[spoiler: she recruited Klowal's pet-like maids into a rebellion against him]]. As for 'being in charge' she may be a princess but she's still has to obey her military superiors.

* BlasphemousBoast: In response to Angusson, who claims the title of "Prime Minister of Lognas II" by DivineRight she says the following, "In this galaxy, Hell does indeed exist and we know this for certain because we created it and we control it."

* HeroicSeductress: During negiotations with Jinto and Meideen about the Western Block immigrating (and thus escaping perverts looking for playthings, i.e. the men of the Eastern Block) she gives the former a view of her cleave while suggesting they talk "privately". Meideen immediately calls her on this and she denies it. In any case, Jinto didn't care and she doesn't try again.

* KarimicDeath: [[spoiler: He is drowned by a tidal wave that is formed by the emergency take off of the last shuttle carrying female prisoners off the planet. In other words, he is indirectly killed by the people he tried to subjugate and objectify.]]

* FaceDeathWithDignity: He refuses to give in to the demands of Angusson and Dofuku, and dies for it. Angusson observes a moment of silence in honor of his courage.

* DirtyCoward: It's clear that he doesn't have the backbone to resist Angusson, and unrepentantly brown-noses the guy once he conquers the Central Sector.

* DueToTheDead: One of the only positive traits he shows is a desire to honor [[spoiler:Meideen]] after his death, since the man did not die a coward.
