* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Being defeated by the girl she had been relentlessly bullying, in a public match no less, humbled her down.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: She does considers Melida to be her friend… but in her mind, being her friend meant that Melida would always remain a helpless girl who does whatever she wants and has to rely on her. She is downright ''offended'' that Melida dared to change.

* BandageMummy: Justified. Ghouls can manipulate bandages and infuse them with the power to seal Mana, so he is effectively covered in weapons.
* CardCarryingVillain: He tells Melida that it's okay for her to think of him and his friends as "the bad guys".
* DidntSeeThatComing: There was no way he could predict that [[spoiler:Kufa was half-vampire.]]
* ItsPersonal: Because Kufa killed his companions and forced him to run away when they met in the prologue of the series, he gets much more excited fighting him than when he was trying to capture Melida and Elise.
* NotSoDifferent: From Kufa. Both were taken by an underworld guild and had to learn to be cold-blooded killers because they had nowhere else to go. Also, [[spoiler:they are both half Lycanthrope, although Gin is an artificially made one while Kufa is a naturally born one.]] Even his attitude regarding Melida's possible murder is the same as Kufa before his change of heart: Neither of them was doing it because they liked it, but they had to obey their orders.
* StarterVillain: He is the main physical threat the main characters face in Volume 1.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He can get murderous angry if you don't address him by his full name. [[spoiler:Considering he is a former noble, it may be sign that he is unable to let go of his previous life.]]

His change of heart and decision to protect her is what starts the plot for real. Most of the tension comes from the risk of her getting killed if Kufa fails to hide their secret. And the second most important plotline is Melida's journey to prove herself.
Added DiffLines:
* FragileSpeedster: Since she got her Mana from Kufa, she is in the Samurai class like him. Said class has high agility and stealth, but low defense. However, Kufa taught her Chaos Cadena to compensate for this disadvantage, allowing Melida to defend from strong attacks by concentrating Mana in a single spot. It's a double-edged sword however, as it leaves the rest of the body with little Mana and thus even more fragile.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Born in the Night World, he spent his childhood trying to survive with his mother in a dark place full of monsters. When they finally reached a safe place where humans could live, they faced great discrimination for supposedly being "dirtied" by the curse of the night. His mother eventually died and he was taken in by a dark guild who made him go through a hellish training to become an assassin.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He is an assassin with black hair, black coat, and is currently dedicating himself to save the life of a young girl. Even before meeting Melida he was never really evil, assassination is just a job for him.
* TheDulcineaEffect: He disobeys orders and throws himself head first into a dangerous self-imposed mission that could get him killed, all for a girl he had just met. He even recognizes that he is letting his emotions guide him, but doesn't back down.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: A dark take. He's got plenty of battle experience because he has been trained since he was a child to be an assassin.
* HotTeacher: Melida's handsome personal tutor quickly calls the attention of [[OneGenderSchool the entire student body]].
* TheOneGuy: The only guy living in Melidas mansion, as all the servants working there are women. He also becomes this when he goes to St. Frideswide alongside Melida, since [[OneGenderSchool the student body and staff are made entirely of women]] and the only other private tutor with permission to enter (Rosetti) is also a girl.
* PragmaticVillainy: He isn't a villain, but he is a ruthless assassin. The only reason why he isn't piling up corpses anymore is because protecting Melida is a mission that won't be easily achieved just by killing people. Case in point, [[spoiler:he refuses to kill Gin and instead tells him to go back to his client and report that he found traces of Paladin Mana within Melida. If he killed an assassin sent after Melida another would come later, while having Gin deliver a fake report lessens the chances of it happening again.]]
* StockLightNovelHero: Zigzagged with Kufa. In terms of appearance and role in the plot, he seems to be the definition of this trope: he has the short dark hair with soft facial features that one would expect of a Japanese protagonist (even though the series doesn't even take place on our Earth), wears dark clothing, is much stronger than most of the cast from the start, and is surrounded by pretty girls who like him and fight together with him. When you see his personality and backstory however, they don't resemble this trope at all: far from being a normal person dragged into a fantastic world, he has been raised to be an assassin since he was a child. Being so overpowered doesn't come just from an innate power, but also from having far more experience in battle than a person his age should have. He may look like an AllLovingHero at first glance, but that's just a façade he puts on for the sake of his mission, in reality he is cold and calculating. And while he does comes to genuinely care about one girl, his core personality remains the same and he only looks more heroic than he actually is [[PragmaticVillainy due to pragmatism]].
* ChickMagnet: Because of his good looks and polite (fake) personality, he quickly becomes very popular among the maids at Melida's mansion and the students at her school.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Born in the Night World, he spent his childhood trying to survive with his mother in a dark place full of monsters.

Added DiffLines:
* AffectionateNickname: Elise calls her Lida.
* BadassAdorable: A cute, easily impressionable young girl currently training to become an elite knight.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Zigzagged. On one hand, she would never have awakened Mana without Kufa's help, and thus would be doomed to be a powerless girl forever no matter how hard she trained. On the other hand, training so hard since long before she met Kufa is the reason she became such a skilled fighter immediately after awakening her Mana, so her hard work didn't amount to nothing.
* PrecociousCrush: She is just thirteen years old, and she fell for Kufa right after meeting him. She considers him to be a fairytale prince that came to save her, not knowing his true intentions when he arrived at her home.
* TookALevelInBadass: Kufa implanting his Mana in her kickstarts the plot. Thanks to his guidance and her own hard work, she goes from hopelessly useless to BadassAdorable in record time.

Added DiffLines:
* AffectionateNickname: She is called Ellie by Melida.
* BadassAdorable: For the same reasons as Melida, with the added bonus of having the SuperpowerfulGenetics she lacks.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: She has blue hair and doesn't emote much. She is expected to perform the same role as the main character, but at the start of the series she is seemingly better and has the respect the protagonist wants. She is actually hiding strong emotions and insecurities behind her stoic behavior. Doesn't that sound just like Rei Ayanami?
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has light blue hair.

Added DiffLines:
* HumbleHero: In spite of the several-meters-long list of [[SelfMadeWoman impressive achievements under her name]], she gets embarrassed when people recognize her as "that" Rosetti, as if she wasn't every bit the celebrity people think she is.
* ThePollyanna: She is always trying to share her energy with those around her, and frequently tries to alleviate the mood around her by smiling a lot and offering words of encouragement.
* SelfMadeWoman: Awakened Mana at an unusually early age, but couldn't go to a school to learn how to use it because she was a commoner. She still managed to become a master in her class through self-study alone and just kept accumulating achievements until she was given the title of First Generation Marquess, granting her entire family the status of nobility.
* WomanChild: Kufa accuses her of being one because of her GenkiGirl act and more importantly, because she thought he was some kind of "Dream Prince" when she first met him.
