While we can use redirects (e.g. Big Sister Bully and Orcus On Her Throne and Last Of Her Kind and Nice Gal and Ms Exposition), we're not supposed to edit trope names like that or spoiler them out like that.

A fairly handsome young knight, and Lady Marisa's first lover. He is also the father of Mystia Woods.
* AbsurdlyYouthfulFather: He's remarked as comely by many people, and he raised Mystia himself, and despite that seems no less worse for wear.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Once again, a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]- while he is courteous, handsome, competent and loyal, he also was dishonorable enough to sire a bastard, but is a good person regardless.

[[folder:Ser Shibou Taida*]]
A middle-aged, fat, yet competent knight who works as a gate-guard and room-guard to Lady Marisa. He also seems to have a past with the late Lord Vladimir Scarlet. He becomes a POV character in chapter 83.
* AscendedExtra: Compared to his initial appearance as just a gate-guard with a name, he gets to become a POV character and has a relatively complex backstory, being one of the more prominent [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]].
* BigFun: Has shades of this, being both large and at times boisterous, but he is very much capable of being serious, and in his POVs he is rather introverted.
* BladeOnAStick: Favors this fighting style, though he can also wield a sword with moderate competence.
* BrosBeforeHoes: He and Vladimir Scarlet stopped being friends after he took his lady love of old, Kisa.
* ChastityCouple: Occasionally is shown to be part of one with Lady Marisa as the only knight she has never had sex with and the only one she emotionally loves.
* TheFaceless: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]- he ''tries'' to be this by wearing his helmet all the time, as he's ashamed of his ugly face, but Marisa regularly convinces him not to.
* ForWantOfANail: If he and Kisa had got together rather than her and Vladimir, Koakuma would never have been born, and [[spoiler:the implied future rebellion that is likely to continue the cycle of violence in the epilogue]] wouldn't occur. Also, [[spoiler:he would have never come into the service of Lady Marisa, likely undoing the Kirisame asylum of the returned Lunas]].
* {{Gaydar}}: He seems to notice Iku's AmbiguouslyGay tendencies, something other characters rarely note.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a multitude of facial scars, which Marisa tells him to be proud of, as they show his sacrifices in battle.
* JackOfAllTrades: Is a moderately competent fighter, general, and even suggests a few decent schemes every now and then, but he is not mentioned as particularly excelling at any beyond spear combat.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]- while he is courteous, devoted, honorable, and kind, he is fat, ugly, and generally unattractive, bucking the stereotype.
* IAmNotPretty: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]- while Marisa wants him to be proud of his face and reveal it more often when he's not in immediate danger, he genuinely is ugly- he has a fat face, acne, and scars.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Rumia Woods, who he trains in sparring.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: In the later chapters relating to the Rainbow Fort, it is clear from [[spoiler:Iku's]] POV that plots ([[spoiler:mostly by Tewi]]) are floating around the Woodlands entirely unbeknownst to him, and while he's suspicious of some people, he's almost always wrong as to what it is they're plotting.
* LoveHurts: His old love, Kisa, did this to him, however he seems a positive-minded individual despite this. His relationship with Marisa [[AvertedTrope averts]] this, actually remedying hurt.
* MaleGaze: One of the few people to [[AvertedTrope avert]] it with [[MsFanservice Lady Marisa]], as he's seen her naked so many times it barely registers any more.
* NiceGuy: Is one of the most genuinely good characters in the series.
* OriginalCharacter
* ParentalSubstitute: Marisa sees him as both this and a potential emotional love interest. Rumia sees him simply as a parental substitute, though, as her father is unknown and Lady Marisa trusted the raising of her and the teaching of swordsmanship to him.
* RiseOfZitboy: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]- though he has noticably bad acne, he doesn't particularly care about it, and just prefers to hide it in his helmet.
* StoutStrength: Is treated as, and overall seems to be, a strong man despite his girth.
* UndyingLoyalty: Undoubtedly has this to Lady Marisa.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Is implied to have come into the service of Lady Marisa due to him leaving his former friend, Lord Vladimir Scarlet, on bad terms, likely due to his old love 'Kisa', a woman strongly implied to be Koakuma's mother.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Him and Marisa have a lot of ship tease, but ultimately their relationship is fatherly and daughterly despite confusion.

* BladeOnAStick: Favors this fighting style, though he can also wield a sword with moderate competence.
* BrosBeforeHoes: He and Vladimir Scarlet stopped being friends after he took his lady love of old, Kisa.
* ChastityCouple: Occasionally is shown to be part of one with Lady Marisa as the only knight she has never had sex with and the only one she emotionally loves.
* TheFaceless: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]- he ''tries'' to be this by wearing his helmet all the time, as he's ashamed of his ugly face, but Marisa regularly convinces him not to.
* ForWantOfANail: If he and Kisa had got together rather than her and Vladimir, Koakuma would never have been born, and [[spoiler:the implied future rebellion that is likely to continue the cycle of violence in the epilogue]] wouldn't occur. Also, [[spoiler:he would have never come into the service of Lady Marisa, likely undoing the Kirisame asylum of the returned Lunas]].
* {{Gaydar}}: He seems to notice Iku's AmbiguouslyGay tendencies, something other characters rarely note.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a multitude of facial scars, which Marisa tells him to be proud of, as they show his sacrifices in battle.
* JackOfAllTrades: Is a moderately competent fighter, general, and even suggests a few decent schemes every now and then, but he is not mentioned as particularly excelling at any beyond spear combat.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]- while he is courteous, devoted, honorable, and kind, he is fat, ugly, and generally unattractive, bucking the stereotype.
* IAmNotPretty: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]- while Marisa wants him to be proud of his face and reveal it more often when he's not in immediate danger, he genuinely is ugly- he has a fat face, acne, and scars.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Rumia Woods, who he trains in sparring.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: In the later chapters relating to the Rainbow Fort, it is clear from [[spoiler:Iku's]] POV that plots ([[spoiler:mostly by Tewi]]) are floating around the Woodlands entirely unbeknownst to him, and while he's suspicious of some people, he's almost always wrong as to what it is they're plotting.
* LoveHurts: His old love, Kisa, did this to him, however he seems a positive-minded individual despite this. His relationship with Marisa [[AvertedTrope averts]] this, actually remedying hurt.
* MaleGaze: One of the few people to [[AvertedTrope avert]] it with [[MsFanservice Lady Marisa]], as he's seen her naked so many times it barely registers any more.
* NiceGuy: Is one of the most genuinely good characters in the series.
* OriginalCharacter
* ParentalSubstitute: Marisa sees him as both this and a potential emotional love interest. Rumia sees him simply as a parental substitute, though, as her father is unknown and Lady Marisa trusted the raising of her and the teaching of swordsmanship to him.
* RiseOfZitboy: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]- though he has noticably bad acne, he doesn't particularly care about it, and just prefers to hide it in his helmet.
* StoutStrength: Is treated as, and overall seems to be, a strong man despite his girth.
* UndyingLoyalty: Undoubtedly has this to Lady Marisa.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Is implied to have come into the service of Lady Marisa due to him leaving his former friend, Lord Vladimir Scarlet, on bad terms, likely due to his old love 'Kisa', a woman strongly implied to be Koakuma's mother.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Him and Marisa have a lot of ship tease, but ultimately their relationship is fatherly and daughterly despite confusion.

The eldest bastard daughter of Lady Marisa Kirisame, aged sixteen. She is pretty, demure, and an effective battle commander for her age, and has also been groomed to succeed Lady Marisa upon her death.
* ActionGirl: As a sixteen-year-old commander and FrontlineGeneral, she qualifies without a doubt.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Is blonde-haired in this, as opposed to in Canon, where her hair was purple-pink.
* AdaptationalHeroism: From a man-eating CuteMonsterGirl who lures unwitting humans to their deaths to a genuinely sweet bastard girl who is heroic in her own way.

* BreakTheCutie: She's been through enough war-based trauma to be at least rattled, as her more quiet and serious demeanor late-story shows.
* DaddysGirl: Is notably attached to her biological father and mentor in combat, Ser Tachiba, both of them having a drink together at an inn when [[spoiler:he is sent off to join Queen Remilia's Queensguard]].
* [[SonOfAWhore Daughter Of A Whore]]: Is spoken of in this light by at least Mokou Fujiwara, due to her mother being the famously promiscuous 'noble whore'.

[[folder:Lady Marisa Kirisame]]
The Lady of the Rainbow Fort. A prolific user of man-whores and all-round hedonist with a heart of gold. While initially seeming to have little influence, her decisions become important to the story.
* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: At thirty-two she's already had four children, the eldest of which is sixteen, meaning she was only sixteen herself when she first had her child.
* AgeLift: From the teeneaged Canon iteration to a thirty-two year old mother of four.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is surprisingly frightening when crossed, although this is partially due to her [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask having to be frightening]].
* [[SonOfAWhore Daughter Of A Whore]]: On top of being treated as ''a'' whore, her mother being a former wildling has not helped her image.
* EthicalSlut: Is an exceptionally promiscuous noble, however she is one of the most kind-hearted nobles in Noros, and seems to have a ForHappiness kind of philosophy regarding sex.
* {{Expy}}: Of both Fanon!Marisa and [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Prince Oberyn Martell]] in being promiscuous, yet good-hearted and loving to her family. Unlike Oberyn, however, she lacks his [[HotBlooded hot-bloodedness]], almost like Oberyn's older brother Doran in her calm plotting and [[spoiler:emotional anguish]].
* FairForItsDay: Her in-universe views are like this when you compare her to the rest of Noros, and she certainly has no qualms with male prostitution to equal the female prostitution of the rest of the continent.
* GoodParents: Marisa is a kind, loving parent who makes sure her daughters can follow their dreams, going as far as providing knights to train them in combat and ensuring, when possible, that her children can have a relationship with their father. She also fully intends to have her eldest ''bastard'', Mystia, inherit the Rainbow Fort when she dies.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Seemingly a family trait- she has blonde hair and is possibly the kindest noble in Noros.
* TheHedonist: Is shamelessly indulgent of her wants, but she does not indulge them to the point of harming others, [[SubvertedTrope hence subverting the trope]].
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Is genuinely good-natured and kind-hearted, but her promiscuity places her in a bad light with most of the other nobles.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: While not actually a prostitute, merely considered one due to her promiscuity, she has shades of this trope in that she's genuinely good-hearted, yet promiscuous.
* MayDecemberRomance: She and Ser Shobou Taida, the only Kirisame knight she hasn't slept with, have a [[WillTheyOrWontThey strange pseudo-romantic close parental friendship]] [[BuffySpeak thing]] despite their huge difference in both age and attractiveness.
* MementoMacGuffin: Her hakkero is a memento of her mother, Mima.
* MsFanservice: Is considered this by the men who do not consider her a vile whore.
* NotAMorningPerson: Is certainly not if Shibou's chapters are any indication- she is allergic both to leaving her bed and putting on clothes, and tends to get up around mid-day.
* OddFriendship / IntergenerationalFriendship: With Lady Shinki, an old woman from a desert region, when she herself is a woman in her prime from a snowy region.
* SexForServices: Apparently a common gambit of hers, but only seen explicitly when [[spoiler:she tries to manipulate Yuugenmagan this way]].
* ShoutOut: Her heirloom, the hakkero, is a reference to her Canon counterpart's WeaponOfChoice, and her whoring ways is a reference to the {{Fanon}} interpretation of her being something of a village bicycle.
* TheirFirstTime: Marisa's first time was awkward and unpracticed, according to Ser Tachiba. It also resulted in the latter being chewed out by her father and being ordered by threat of death to take care of her bastard.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: She and Ser Shibou Taida have lots of ShipTease together, [[spoiler:but ultimately they don't]].
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: The Shibou chapters show this is most certainly the case as she deals with [[spoiler:the Woodlands under Fujiwara rule]], trying to seem like her decisions are unflinching and resolute, when actually she is highly troubled by the tougher decisions she has to make.
