History Characters / GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet

* CovertPervert: In episode 6 of ''Petit'', Amy asks him why he has detailed photos of the girls in their BellyDancer outfits. He awkwardly states his purpose as a Caliber while slowly retreating.

* BellyDancer: A pretty damn good one, too; [[spoiler:Ledo even asks her to dance for him again the night after she first performed, and this is someone who's NEVER experienced sexual arousal or romantic attraction in his life! Amy is definitely having an effect on Ledo in more ways than one.]]

* MsFanservice: While she doesn't flaunt it around blatantly, her outfit and figure are very revealing. The second Log Book short meanwhile shows her in the full BellyDancer outfit during the festival and reveals that she used to be among the best dancers aboard the Gargantia.

* BellyDancer: While not as good a dancer as Amy, the show focuses quite a bit on her butt.

* BellyDancer: Not as good as Amy, but we get a very good look at her hips.

* TheLoad: A large part of his personal conflict is that he has no useful skills of his own with which he can support himself. He's given living quarters as a stipend, and his cost of living is low enough that loaning out Chamber for manual labor gets him by, but he's looked down upon with pity or mild contempt because he doesn't contribute to a society in which you need to find a place for yourself or you burden the community.

* AFatherToHisMen: Is this at the start of the series, as well as much of the second OVA. [[spoiler:And then, Linaria dies, and it keeps on getting worse from there...]] It's actually a bit of a subversion with Ledo, as seen under CombatPragmatist.
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:To an extent. He resists this trope at first and considers his role as a divine emissary to be a farce, but after crossing the DespairEventHorizon, he starts calling himself a god.]]

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler: He serves as one for Ledo. Both are FishOutOfWater who's first interaction with Earth is with the girl who would serve as their LoveInterest. However, Ledo took Amy hostage in the first meeting, while Kugel [[BigDamnHeroes rescued]] Linaria from her treacherous sisters. Ledo's arrival is met with fear and distrust while Kugel's is treat with awe and reverence. In his first battle against pirates, Ledo nonchalantly slaughters the pirates and earns a big fat WhatTheHellHero from the Gargantia fleet. Kugel, on the other, avoid casualties in his first scuffle with pirates by explicitly incapacitating them non-lethally. Ledo is initially seen as TheLoad for his inability to do anything aside from fighting and letting Chamber do manual labor, Kugel's treated as a god due to Striker's overwhelming power. Ledo's military discipline clashing with Gargantia's way is a source of great personal conflict for him, though he changes over the course series and even ends up GoingNative as a result of the time spent with Amy and the rest of the Gargantia and learning [[AwfulTruth the Hideauze/Whale-Squid's origins.]] Meanwhile, Kugel initially believed that the Galactic Alliance's dogma had no place on Earth, but [[StartOfDarkness Linaria's death and Striker's manipulations]] convince him to reform Linaria's fleet into a cult/dictatorship not unlike the Galactic Alliance. Essentially, their experiences and characters arcs go in completely opposite trajectories.]]

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:She begins to think in this way after Kugel dies, reasoning that her practices, such as getting rid of weaker humans, is standard Galactic Alliance protocol. She then reasons that by becoming a god, she is relieving the burden of having to think of humans. Chamber calls her out on this.]]

* CoolBigSis: To Bevel.

* ButtMonkey: A mild example. The gags he's fallen victim to so far include:

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He decides to bail out of Kugel's fleet once he realizes the monstrosities of his plans]].

* SocialDarwinist: Aleria hunts her sister Linaria down because she views the latter to be too weak to lead their father's fleet.

* EatingTheEyeCandy: After being the eye candy for most of the girls around him during the BeachEpisode, Ledo finally returns the favor by eating up Amy's belly dance. It's one of the first signs he's NotSoStoic as it seems and a [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]. Eventually, he just straight up comes to Amy and asks for an encore... and Amy, being as madly in love with him as she is, is more than happy to oblige.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Ledo" or "Red?" Ledo, if you decipher the {{Fictionary}}. The supplementary light novel also uses Ledo.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Bebel" seems to be the official romanization, but going with the ThemeNaming scheme common on Gargantia, it's obviously intended to be "Bevel."

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The Crunchyroll subtitles calls her "Lima".

* BoobsOfSteel: She boasts the biggest rack of the pirate sisters and she also leads the pirate fleet in the second OVA.
