* ShovelStrike: Fittingly for a plant lover, his weapon of choice is a shovel.

to:

* ShovelStrike: Fittingly for a plant lover, his weapon of choice is a shovel. He mentions in a conversation with Sophie and Logy that he prefers a shovel since it saves him from having to carry an extra piece of equipment and he can reset any dirt that gets displaced during battle to help the local plants.

Added DiffLines:

* IneptMage: At the start of the game, Sophie can't even make a basic medicine. This isn't a reflection on her competence; Sophie's grandmother died when she was young, and she never got proper training in her talent. Once Plachta starts teaching her, she starts improving rapidly.

* ForHappiness: She wants to use alchemy to make as many people happy as she can.



* TheFogOfAges: She didn't lose her memory to any traumatic incident or anything, just time. She does recover her memories with Sophie's help.




to:

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler:They didn't seem to like their 500 years of life. One of Atomina's lines even suggests they would have preferred death, but just couldn't die]].

* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has stars in her eyes to reflect her doll's body.



* BigDamnHeroes: His first appearance is cutting down a demon to protect Sophie.
* DeclarationOfProtection: He vows to makes sure Sophie isn't hurt in their fight against the dragon. It'll probably be his dialog for the rest of the game when you talk to him.
* ThePaladin: A ReligiousBruiser knight? Check. Bonus damage against demons? Check. A desire to help people? Check. One of his abilities even references Paladins.




to:

* SmallStepsHero: He wants to help the people around him rather than serving a country.



** NoPronunciationGuide: It's pronounced "Lay-on," instead of the normal "Lee-on."
* TheFashionista: Well she is a clothier.



* MotiveDecay: [[spoiler:She wanted to make clothes so spread joy to people, but somewhere along the lines wanted to become the greatest clothier in the country instead]].




to:

* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: [[spoiler:Her dream was to become the greatest clothier, but she still felt unsatisfied once she finally achieved her goal. It's subverted when she realized she really wanted to make people happy]].


Added DiffLines:

* LooksLikeCesare: Tall, thin, pale, and with perpetual bags under his eyes.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:Part of his lethargy towards clockmaking comes from knowing he'll never be better than his genius father. He does manage to overcome this mindset, and eventually learns that his father had to practice to get where he did, not rely on natural talent]].


Added DiffLines:

* RetiredBadass: He may have traded mercenary work for doll making, but the old man's still got it.


Added DiffLines:

* MotiveDecay: [[spoiler:He wanted to help people once, and his Ablation Alchemy was supposed to help with that. Unfortunately, his fascination with Ablation Alchemy consumed him in the end.]]

Added DiffLines:

* EleventhHourRanger: Plachta becomes playable much, much later than the rest of the party.


Added DiffLines:

* PurposefullyOverpowered: Plachta has a unique upgrade mechanic, excellent offense and defense, immunity to several status effects, only slightly narrower item access than Sophie, an auto-rex and an MP regeneration upgrade that lets her spam her special attacks forever. In short ... she's the best party member. Seeing as she's an extremely knowledgeable alchemist inhabiting a construct body, this makes perfect sense and was almost certainly entirely deliberate.

* ShoutOut: His offensive 300% Chain special, which has him freeze time and surround the target with throwing knives, is suspiciously similar to an attack performed by Dio Brando in part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.

to:

* CreepyTwins: These two are somewhat unnerving in most of their appearances. [[spoiler:Which makes sense, considering how they're actually the BigBad]].

* WalkingSpoiler: He's only introduced late in the game, and brings a series of shocking revelations with him.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: In the past, [[spoiler:Luard was Plachta's friend and alchemy partner, but became so obsessed with Ablation Alchemy that she had no choice but to defeat him and turn him into Meklet and Atomina.]]

to:

\n!!Fritz* TheGunslinger: Although he's a clockmaker, he'd rather make guns, which he uses in battle.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is quite abrasive at first, but becomes much nicer later on. This is best shown when [[spoiler:he flat out refuses to make springs for Placta's doll at first, but changes his mind when Sophie says "You're the only one I can rely on."]]
* KnifeNut: Although he mostly fights with a gun, he also has several throwing knives shaped like clock hands which he uses in certain attacks.
* ShoutOut: His offensive 300% Chain special, which has him freeze time and surround the target with throwing knives, is suspiciously similar to an attack performed by Dio Brando in part 3 of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.

* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her handmade fancy dresses don't seem to hinder her at all in combat.
* NaginatasAreFeminine: Her weapon is more of a normal spear than a naginata, but it fits her elegant and graceful style in a very similar way.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Drinks lots of milk in order to reduce the shrinking effect of her duplication alchemy.
