The 1997 Anime Adaptation did Charlotte dirty; she's a good lass and deserves better.


* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Take away her birthright and Griffith and she's nothing.

to:

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Take away NiceGirl: Arguably ''the'' single most genuine and kindhearted person in the saga so far; but don't let the 1997 Anime adaptation fool you, that does '''not''' make her birthright and Griffith and she's nothing.a weak person. See SilkHidingSteel below for how strong a heart she truly has in the original manga.



* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only actual role in the series is being Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket. She pretty much thinks about nothing but Griffith and how happy she is when she is around him.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Her only actual role main defining attribute in the 1997 Anime series is being Griffith's LoveInterest / MealTicket. She pretty much thinks about nothing but Griffith and how happy she is when she is around him. This is in stark contrast to her more nunanced original manga counterpart. See SilkHidingSteel below.


Added DiffLines:

* SilkHidingSteel: Charlotte's in the original manga was an active participant in helping and guiding The Band of Falcon's rescue of Griffifth, bribing the guards to let them through, following the band down every blood soaked step of the staircase spiralling to the dungeons where her beloved is tortured, ''refusing to leave his side'' even though he is now a hideously deformed cripple and ''then'' '''unhesitatingly taking a poisoned arrow for him''''', not to mention defiantly (and successfully) pleading for the life of the failed assassins and her OnlyFriend Anna when they were caught by her insane father. This strength of character that fueled ''by'' her kindhearted nature is unfortunately AdaptedOut of the 1997 animated adaptation, leaving the misconception that she is nothing but a wallflower and shallow DamselInDistress.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Charlotte was the ''first'' person in Griffifth's life of hardship and betrayal to be truly pure and genuine, with no ulterior motive to gain from her kindness to him. This caused Griffifth to open his heart to her at the ''worst'' time possible; as his belief that he does not regard a loyal soldier as a friend was overheard ''just in time'' by Guts, freshly traumatized from killing a child in an assassination mission ''ordereded by Griffifth.'' Had Charlotte not opened Griffifth's heart, Guts would not have left the Band of the Falcon to prove himself worthy of his love and respect, destroying their friendship and dragging the world literally to Hell with them.

* AnimalMotifs: He's the commander of the White Dragon Knights, the mightiest of Midland's formal military force. Julius himself is a ruthless man who exudes an aura of power and adheres to a view of self-appointed supremacy and supremacy of all in his social class that can easily be described as draconic.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The anime gave his name as "Yurius." Also, nobody seems to be able to decide whether he is a ''duke'', an ''earl'', a ''count'', or a ''lord''.

* ForWantOfANail: Just think for a sec, if his goon's poisoned arrow had hit anywhere else but the chest, Griffith would've died, none of the horror at the Eclipse would've happened, and the whole saga would've gone in a drastically different path. Unfortunately, the four members of the God Hand had special plans for Griffith, meaning no matter what, fate would be in his favor enough to keep him alive.

* AbusiveParents: AbusiveDad: [[spoiler:He eventually tries to rape Charlotte.]]



* AbusiveParents: Downplayed. He does subject his thirteen-year-old son Adonis to [[TrainingFromHell brutal sword training]] in order to prepare him to take his place as general of the White Dragons, in which he cuts him pretty seriously on the arm and calls him weak. His methods remind Guts of his own abusive parent. Unlike Gambino, however, he seems to genuinely want what he thinks is best for his son. Outside of sparring, he doesn't act particularly abusive to Adonis and even expresses some Saturnine love for him.
