History Characters / TalesOfXillia

%%* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: At the end of the first game, he becomes [[spoiler:Gaius's Prime Minister, making him the second most influential man in Rieze Maxia, and he's no slouch at all.]]

%%* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He was able to block Milla's sword attack with his bare hands and knocks her across the room.

* DropTheHammer: His weapon is a titanic hammer. Combined with his StoutStrength, the guy hits like a truck.

* LadyOfWar: Between her long Hair, dress-like lower body and polite manner of speaking, Undine resembles a ProperLady. She also carries a lance and fires a flawless water cannon.

* EvilGenius: Hey, she may be AxeCrazy, but take just one look at the [[WaveMotionGun Lance of Kresnik]].

* TheEvilGenius: Unlike the other Chimeriad, she's a little too devious to fill the heroic counterpart's criteria. That's not to say she's necessarily ''evil''.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler: If her being a part of the Chimeriad is supposed to be a twist...]] then stay the hell away from the Tales Facebook page!

** FlamingSword

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: What he also invokes since it's been ten years since he kicked his way to the throne, and in ''Xillia 2'', he's one of the strongest party members gameplay wise.

* BoobsOfSteel: FullContactMagic version, yes, but she still counts.

* ACupAngst: Justified in that she isn't even a teenager yet, but it's pretty obvious she envies [[BoobsOfSteel Milla]] for this.

* TheDarkChick: A rather good example. She's an emotional centre for the villains and the one who contrasts the most with them, as they're usually rather calm and reserved for one reason or another. [[AxeCrazy She, on the other hand]]...

* TheHero: If the player chooses her to be the main character then the story follows her quest to investigate the death of the spirits and Jude is a kid she bumped into along the way.

* TheHero: If the player chooses him to be the main character than he will better fit this role and Milla the MysteriousWaif that the hero encounters at the start of the journey.

* LadyOfWar: Between her long Hair, dress-like lower body and polite manner of speaking, Undine resembles a ProperLady. She also carries a BladeOnAStick and fires a flawless water cannon.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: The people of Auj Oule utterly ''worship'' him. They have some good reasons for it, as a series of subevents called "The History of Auj Oule" reveals the previous rulers were corrupt. [[spoiler: A subevent connected to the previous ones slightly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]] this as it turns out they rely on him too much. It then is [[{{Reconstruction}} reconstructed]] as once they are called out on it they set to fixing things.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: One of his alternate selves in ''Xillia 2'' has a tethering relationship with a birdlike male spirit named Aska. Tethering is consistently used [[spoiler: as an analogy for sex within the series]], suggesting Jude might be into both men and women.

* BadassBaritone: In the dub, courtesy of Creator/TravisWillingham.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: After his defeat, he [[spoiler:listens to Rowen and genuinely seems to be interested in joining his friend together to lead the country. Then he's KilledOffForReal.]]

* CallBack: A couple of her victory poses serve as call backs to [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Vesperia's]], such as her elaborate [[HandshakeSubstitute 'sign of victory']] pose with Alvin, or the reinvention of the 'beauty corps' with Milla and Elize.

* EvilGenius: Hey, she may be AxeCrazy, but take just one look at the [[{{WaveMotionGun}} Lance of Kresnik]].

* FlippingTheBird: She seems really fond of hand gestures in general. She [[{{GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger}} gives people the pointer finger]] probably the most, or her [[{{SwordPointing}} sword if she's holding it]], and she even gives the group a double thumbs down just before she walks out of a room with the rest of [[spoiler:Chimeriad]] at one point. Also does this to Leia [[spoiler:as she falls to her death, but]] [[{{Bowdlerise}} only in the JP version of the game.]]

** She immediately tries to [[TakingYouWithMe kill them along with herself]] as the quickest form of [[RevengeBeforeReason revenge]].

* TokenMiniMoe: She's the youngest member of the Chimeriad and the youngest female antagonist in the franchise at fifteen.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The overall youngest antagonist in the franchise is [[VideoGame/TalesofTheAbyss Sync]].[[/labelnote]]

* HopelessBossFight: The first fight against him is meant to be a failure. You can win with some effort but all that will happen is he reveals that [[{{IAmNotLeftHanded}} He Is Not Left Handed]], and then he beats the party in the following cutscene.

* KidWithTheLeash: [[spoiler: He's the '''only''' person [[{{AxeCrazy}} Agria]] will listen to. Late in the game, he gets a hold of [[PersonOfMassDestruction Muzét's]] leash.]]

* PaperThinDisguise: Beyond using a different name, he's really not doing much to hide the fact that he's Gaius. It's at least {{Justified}} for people in Elympios, they only know his name, not how he looks. It's also implied in a skit regarding the possibility of entering the arena that he's also playing the part of a playboy aristocrat to hide his [[TheStoic true nature]]. However, [[spoiler:he's figured out in his fourth character episode by the corrupt Trigleph sheriff through his connections, so it's not as ridiculously foolproof as one would believe.]]

---> '''Gaius''': "Yes, to try and live a satisfying life. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion How do you think one can achieve that? Do you even know?]]"
---> '''Jude''': "[[DidntThinkThisThrough Well...]]"

* ExpositoryHairStyleChange

* TheHeavy: Tied with [[spoiler: Maxwell for the trope but in a sense, most of the story is his fault. To elaborate: Because of his ship coming into Rieze Maxia and taking over it, Alvin gained his ChronicBackStabbingDisorder, caused Milla's harsh view of spyrixes, caused Jude's father to leave and settle down (which later led to Jude's birth and later ended up causing Leia's injury as a child), and his actions caused Nachtigal's BadBoss actions.]]

=* BlowYouAway: Sylph the wind spirit.

%%%* TeamMom: Undine
%%%%* {{Tsundere}}: Sylph to [[spoiler: an amnesiac Milla in the spirit world.]]

* SatelliteCharacter: Invoked and also [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype Deconstructed]]. [[spoiler:Having been made by Maxwell to protect the Schism above all else, Muzét has no sense of self-agency and does whatever she can to follow her masters wishes. To do so, she basically finds the person most likely to do so and works her best to revolve herself around that person so they follow her ideas. The {{Deconstruction}} hits when Maxwell abandons her, causing her to suffer a breakdown when she realizes he is going to remove what she sees as her reason for existing, and so she throws herself at Gaius out of desperation to justify her own existence.]]

-->''"You might say I'm nosy or naive, but I just can't leave you alone."''

* NotGoodWithPeople: Limited contact with friendly people made her very timid of them. At first, she only really speaks to Jude, but soon opens up to the others.

* ShrinkingViolet: To the point where she'll sometimes hide behind one of the other party members when meeting strangers.

%%* ElementalHair: As Maxwell, it makes sense for her to represent different elements at once.

* EasilyForgiven: For his actions in ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'', which included [[spoiler: trying to wipe out an entire world of people to protect his own instead of looking for compromise, or to at least destroy all their spyrix in the English version.]]

* IdiotHair: [[{{InsistentTerminology}} Ahem, it's a]] ''CharmPoint''!!!
