* BadassNormal: In her default form, probably the closest example of this out of all the characters through the whole series.
* BareYourMidriff
* BoisterousBruiser: Katt likes to joke and make fun of her enemies while she's beating the hell out of them. This also counts as one of her game skills, as Katt uses it to break Ryu's concentration during their initial battle and later can use it against normal enemies to make them ignore her party and attack her instead.
* CatGirl: Well, ''tiger'' girl.
* CuteBruiser: One of the party's heavy-hitters and the only character besides Ryu with the ability to counterattack.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Except for being covered in fur from the waist down, Katt, a female Woren, is a fairly standard cat girl. In contrast, Tiga, a male Woren, is a BeastMan with a tiger head.
* DanceBattler: The game literally describes her as this.
* TheDitz: Bow asks Ryu to take her along as he quickly realizes Katt isn't the sharpest knife in the box and if she's allowed to stay with him, she could destroy the house he was intending to fix. Rand even wonders if there's a way to get inside of Katt's head and rewire her brain to make her smarter.
** It's gotten worse in the FanTranslation, even if this wasn't the [[WordOfGod translator's]] intention, interestingly.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: His Sana/Shin fusion is a anthropomorphic [[VisualPun snapdragon]]. Sadly, said fusion still uses his normal GeoEffects special.
* PlantPerson
** PunnyName: Now check his full name. Just don't [[FacePalm hit your face too hard.]]
* TheSpock: He is only capable of thinking logically, but starts discovering new feelings and emotions near the end of the game.
* Really700YearsOld: His actual age is 111.
** OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like 16 (and he has that in "human years")
* StatusBuff: Team expert on the subject.
* TheStoic
* WhipItGood
!! Ekal/Ekaru Hoppe Do/De Pe Tapeta/Jean
* AbortedArc: His subplot with Nimufu/Nimpho the witch. She just [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse disappears from the face of Earth]] after the impostor story is resolved.
* BilingualBonus: The "Ekal" part on his name is written "Ekaru" in Japanese, which is an anagram of "Kaeru", Japanese for Frog.
* BrattyHalfPint: His sister Petape.
* TheCameo: In ''III''.
* ChefOfIron: Slightly subverted in that he's a good cook ''for his race only'', considering most of their meals consists of roaches, flies and worms. Otherwise, he was such a well-known chef that a CookingDuel was set up to demostrate he was the true prince.
* DiagonalCut: The ability of his Shaman form.
* GratuitousFrench: ''Non, Non, Non!''
* TheNotSecret: [[spoiler:The castle's self-destruct switch. Only his sister and the impostor believed it existed.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He plays dumb only because he's very optimistic and easy-going.
* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: A Royal Ring owned by Tapeta/Jean is used as proof of being the true prince. Too bad the impostor also has one...
* RousseauWasRight: He thinks there are no truly evil persons, only weak ones that can easily fall into evil's temptation.
* RoyalBlood: He's the prince of [=SimaFort=].
* SpotTheImposter: The focus of his whole arc.
!! Baba/Babadel
* AnAxeToGrind
* BadassBeard
* TheBigGuy
* {{Engrish}}: According to the end credits, he's a [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ramberjack]].
* GentleGiant: He really only imposes a fight to Ryu for his spot at the tournament.

* WingedHumanoid
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
!!Nimufu/Nimpho Mani
* CuteWitch
* {{Meaningful|Name}}[=/=]PunnyName[=/=]GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her full name is a pun on the word "[[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nymphomania nymphomania]]", which is an "excess of sexual behavior or desire in women", which can explain why she is a cute and sexy witch. No wonder her name got changed via {{bowdleri|se}}zation.
* TakenForGranite: Her magic has made people (including the shaman Seso) fall under this type by the time the party arrives at her tower.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Where she ran off to after the [=Simafort=] and Wild Cat incident remains a mystery.
* WickedWitch
!!Tiga/Tigger Lee
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Only explanation for his [[HopelessBossFight boss fight against Ryu.]]
* TheInfiltration: Claris infiltrated Evrai posing as a believer. The party and Tiga later do the same.

* LoveInterests: Katt at first. [[spoiler:Then later, realizes Claris is the one he truly loves. Unfortunately, [[FromBadToWorse things went sour afterwards. Very sour.]]]]
* LaResistance: Tiga is the leader.
* LoveHurts
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: All characters related to the resistance are named after {{Disney}} characters. Yes, Tiga's real name is a reference to ''that'' [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]].
* [[spoiler:StuffedIntoTheFridge: Claris is tortured by Habaruku in front of the (infiltrated) party and Tiga. Tiga ''then'' becomes the victim along with his love, setting in stone the party's motivation to take direct action.]]

* BadassLongcoat
* HealingHands: He uses healing spells as a priest, and can teach one of two possible spells to a party member after the Capitan incident.
* [[spoiler:HeroAntagonist]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Turns out he's a member of the Dragon clan, as well.]]
* [[spoiler:TheRival]]
* [[spoiler:StealthMentor: He dies just for Ryu to learn the Kaiser Dragon transformation.]]
!!Valerie [=McCarran=]
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Her dragon form is downright enormous.
* [[spoiler:BarrierMaiden]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: That dragon on Gate's back bushes? One guess on ''her'' identity...]]
** [[spoiler:ConvenientComa: She's on a deep slumber until after Habaruku's attempt to kill her.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: To open the entrance to Infinity.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: For Ryu's father.
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: She finally awakens in force once Habaruku threatens Patty/Yua.]]
* WingedHumanoid: A side effect of her race's continued contact with [[spoiler:Deathevan's]] aura.
* WomanInWhite
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
!! Augus/Argus Cont, Joker Heart, Trout Barm, Kuwadora/Quadra X, Shupkay, Ringmaster John, Father Manson.
Deathevan's [[EliteMooks servants.]] Originally normal, relatively speaking, beings, Deathevan's influence turned them into demons.
* AllThereInTheScript: Ringmaster John's name is only seen in the CreativeClosingCredits.
* DeadlyGame: Argus wanted to turn the contest into this, thinking it'd be more exciting and satisfying for the public if Katt died during/after the bout.
* FatBastard: Trout and The Joker.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Joker's whole motivation was lusting over Nina.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Trout, again.
* TheNeidermeyer: Shupkay.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Manson summons a group of undead before he decides to fight himself.
* NotEvenHuman: Though it's Not Even Humanoid for Shupkay and Kuwadora.
* ObviouslyEvil: Again, all of them, but the ringmaster who captures Spar is so blatantly evil that it's almost funny.
* OneWingedAngel: They all pull one before you fight them.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Augus, who has two heads in his true form.
* PaletteSwap: Shupkay and the ringmaster's true forms are used as [[DegradedBoss recurring enemies]] later in the game.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''Shupkay'' in the dialogue becomes ''Shup'''u'''kay'' in the boss battle.
* SpotTheImpostor: Kuwadora, who poses as Jean at one point during the game. Somewhat subverted in that nearly everyone at the castle knew he was full of crap, but went along with him anyway.
* SinisterMinister: Father Manson.
* ShoutOut: Trout and his rich neighbour/rival Kilgore are named after Kilgore Trout, a recurrent character used by writer KurtVonnegut.
** Manson is arguably named after cult leader Charles Manson, and his summoning of undead (and his position as ''Father'' Manson) may be references to Charles Manson's cult "The Family".
* TheUndead: Manson's [[OneWingedAngel fighting form]], the {{Necromancer}}.
!!Aruhamel/Alzheimer
* [[spoiler:BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: He's staying within [[TheWorldTree Gandaroof]]'s mind, making a mess out of his mind so he's neutered as an obstacle.]]
* EasyAmnesia: He uses amnesia as a ''weapon'', being capable of making the characters forget any number of spells from their spell list.
* MeaningfulName: [[CaptainObvious It's rather obvious in the Japanese version.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Unlike most other enemies in the game, he's a pure demon.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: This guy needs a break. He's spelt '''Aruhameru''' in the dialogue, '''Aruhamel''' in the BossBattle and '''Alheimer''' in the credits.
!! Habaruku/Habalq V [[spoiler:a.k.a. Father Hulk/Halq]]
* AbusiveParents: While he isn't shown to be outright abusive to Ray, he brushes him aside as "worthless" when he hears of his defeat at the hands of the heroes.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Remember that slightly goofy priest from the prologue, Father Hulk?]]
* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:After abducting Father Ganer, he attaches him to a machine in the facility beneath the Grand Church and uses his life force to power Deathevan. If this doesn't sound bad enough, he tortures him like this for ''ten years''.]]
* TheDragon
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:He appears as Father Hulk ''long'' before his formal introduction near the end of the game.]]
* [[spoiler: EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: His monster form.]]
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler: In addition to offering sacrifices to Deathevan, he attempts to offer up Patty's life to open the portal to Infinity and release demons upon the world.]]
* KingIncognito
* LightIsNotGood
* NotEvenHuman: Turns into a Cthulu esque monster when fought.
* ParentalSubstitute: Raised Ray.
* SinisterMinister
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: At times (and during the BossFight), his name appears misspelled as ''Babaruku''.
!! Barubary/Barbaroi
* TheDragon: Along with Habaruku.
* DuelBoss: He offers Ryu to fight one-on-one midway through his BossBattle. It's up to the player if he accepts or not.
* HopelessBossFight: Right in the prologue.
* NobleDemon: Probably the only demon in ''the whole series'' who has anything even resembling a code of honour.
** WorthyOpponent
* OurDemonsAreDifferent
* SelfImposedChallenge: Barubary challenges Ryu to fight him alone. It's actually easier to fight him solo if you stock up on Roasts and Wisdom Fruit then just spam G. Dragon 3 times. If you win he gives a [[GuideDangIt vague hint where the ultimate armor is]].
!! Deathevan, a.k.a. Father Evans/St. Eva
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:After Ryu hits him, it all goes downhill for him.]]
* [[spoiler:AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Deathevan feeds off human darkness. Also, Ganer explicity states in the good ending that, if Ryu can eliminate hate and despair on the world, he'd never be able to return.]]
* BigBad
* BreakingSpeech: Will give everyone you bring to the last fight a very pointed lecture about their "sins". [[spoiler: Except Deis, who he rants at for helping to kill his mother Myria in the first game.]]
* CrystalDragonJesus
* DarkIsEvil
* EarlyBirdCameo: He shows up in a few instances prior to the climax of the game, represented as a gigantic eye.
* EldritchAbomination: His true TRUE form. Making [[spoiler:mommy]] so proud!
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: Deatheven's presence causes the forests surrounding [[spoiler:Gate]] to wither and die.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: His Ice Breath attack, not to mention his whole [[spoiler:freezing the party schtick]].
* EvilOldFolks: In his human form.
* GodOfEvil: ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' follows a polytheistic universe, and so he is one of many gods rather than a singular god.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Essentially says so in the first scene of the game. [[spoiler: He doesn't actually need them, but they give him power and he'd be able to break out of his prison sooner.]]
* GuideDangIt: What's that? You say you didn't get Anfini before you came to face him? [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons ''HA-ha!'']]
* LightIsNotGood: He's a horrifically evil demon, but invokes this trope when he masquerades as [[spoiler:Evans/St.Eva]].
** Not to mention his Bone Laser attack is a huge beam of light.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:He's the spawn of BigBad Myria from the first game.]]
* NietzscheWannabe: "I will bless the world... with desperation. All living things will look up to me and feel happiness as they accept death."
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: As Ryu later discovers, Deathevan only lost his physical form after his final defeat. He decides to peform an HeroicSacrifice to take his mother's place as the guardian of the mountain... or if you get the best ending, your father will take your place and crush the whole mountain with the [=TownShip=]!]]
* OneWingedAngel
* [[spoiler:OurDragonsAreDifferent: A belief of some fans thanks to a mistranslation in the ending which "implies" he's a dragon. There's no such implication in the Japanese script.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: He does ''not'' react well when [[spoiler:Ryu [[CutscenePowerToTheMax cuts his hand off]] in a fit of UnstoppableRage.]]
** [[spoiler: It's hard to tell because of the not-so-detailed sprite. Either his hand was cut off or Ryu ''cut across his face.'']]
* AMinorKidroduction: The prologue.
* {{Bishonen}}
** ChickMagnet: Katt/Rinpoo, Nina, Bleu/Deis, the three harpies boss and Nimufu/Nympho all comment/fawn on him.
* CantDropTheHero
* TheChosenOne: Barubary says as much in the Prologue.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Seeing hopelessly how Deathevan kills all his friends. Followed by a mandatory UnstoppableRage.]]
* ElementalPowers: Same arrangement as his predecessor.[[note]]Though thanks to a oversight, the three Dragon forms are actually NonElemental.[[/note]]
** AnIcePerson: Ice Puppy and Ice Dragon
** PlayingWithFire: Fire Puppy and Fire Dragon
** ShockAndAwe: Thunder Puppy and Thunder Dragon
** NonElemental: Kasier/G.Dgn
* HalfHumanHybrid: Father's human, mother's dragon. As a result, his dragon transformations only last long enough to fire one breath attack, as he cannot maintain that form.
* TheHero
* HeroicMime: [[spoiler:He does, however, speak in the flashback where you're playing as his mother.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: The bad ending if you don't get [=TownShip=] flying.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords
* LastOfHisKind: Ryu - well, at first, anyway. [[spoiler:Dologany, the city that falls halfway through the Infinity dungeon, is home to a lot of dragons.]]
* OrphansPlotTrinket: The Dragon Tear.
* PaperThinDisguise: He replaces Baba in the tournament, only needing to show the axe he got from him as proof. Once he does this, everyone calls him Baba and talks about him as if he is Baba. Despite Baba being a recurrent participant, and [[TheBigGuy a musclebound giant lumberjack]].
* [[spoiler:PowerAtAPrice: The test he must undergo to obtain the ultimate power Infini finds him forced to choose one of his allies to sacrifice in exchange. [[SecretTestOfCharacter He selects to choose no one]] and wins.]]
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It's explicitly stated that [[spoiler:Infini, the final dragon spell,]] draws its power from the bonds between Ryu and his friends.
* RetGone: He is forgotten by everyone in his hometown of Gate. [[spoiler:You find out late in the game that Aruhamel erased him from their minds, along with his sister and father. This facilitated Habaruku's infiltration under the guise of Father Hulk.]]
* SecretTestOfCharacter: How he acquires his ultimate spell, Infinity/Anfini.
* TimeMaster: In a small scale. He naturally gains the ability to fast-forward the day/night cycle.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
!! Bow/Bosch Doggy
* AMinorKidroduction
* AutomaticCrossbows
* CantCatchUp: He's locked out of the party so long to remain in hiding that when you ''do'' get him back, he can behind in levels up to the double digits.
* ChivalrousPervert: Always seems to have something to say about the female characters you encounter.
* ClearMyName: What makes him unavailable for an early portion of the game.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan
* HealingHands: Slightly better at it than Rand.
* LovableRogue
* NoPronunciationGuide: Does his name rhyme with "ow" (he's a dog,) or with "oh" (he's an archer)?
* {{Sidekick}}: To Ryu.
!! Katt/Rinpoo Chuan
* ActionGirl
* ACupAngst: Although she's fairly busty in her [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080229032152/bof/images/thumb/4/48/KattBF2.jpg/1000px-KattBF2.jpg concept art]].
* BadassAdorable: She's cute, she's funny and she can pulverize monsters several times bigger and heavier than her.
* BadassNormal: In her default form, probably the closest example of this out of all the characters through the whole series.
* BareYourMidriff
* BoisterousBruiser: Katt likes to joke and make fun of her enemies while she's beating the hell out of them. This also counts as one of her game skills, as Katt uses it to break Ryu's concentration during their initial battle and later can use it against normal enemies to make them ignore her party and attack her instead.
* CatGirl: Well, ''tiger'' girl.
* CuteBruiser: One of the party's heavy-hitters and the only character besides Ryu with the ability to counterattack.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Except for being covered in fur from the waist down, Katt, a female Woren, is a fairly standard cat girl. In contrast, Tiga, a male Woren, is a BeastMan with a tiger head.
* DanceBattler: The game literally describes her as this.
* TheDitz: Bow asks Ryu to take her along as he quickly realizes Katt isn't the sharpest knife in the box and if she's allowed to stay with him, she could destroy the house he was intending to fix. Rand even wonders if there's a way to get inside of Katt's head and rewire her brain to make her smarter.
** It's gotten worse in the FanTranslation, even if this wasn't the [[WordOfGod translator's]] intention, interestingly.
** This is played with when you consider her spell casting abilities. She learns some of the most powerful spells very early in the game, but her maximum AP is way to low to actually cast any of these spells even once until late into the game without serious level grinding.
* FieryRedhead
* FragileSpeedster: While she's one of the fastest and hardest hitting characters in the game, her HP and defense stats tend to be low.
** GlassCannon: Her ultimate Shaman combination deals ''maximum'' damage as a ChargeAttack. Her defense, on the other hand, remains the same.
* GenkiGirl
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Katt romps around ''bottomless''.
* [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]]: She's never seen another of her kind. [[spoiler:Until Tiga's entrance, who tells her that there are very few of them spread all over the world.]]
** So few that when Ryu and her arrive at the monster hunters's place, they ask Ryu to sell her to them.
* LoveInterests: Tiga [[LoveAtFirstSight sets his eyes on her the moment she crosses the door]]. [[spoiler:Later, Katt has to clear up the issues as she can't reciprocate the feeling, in quite a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Katt is short, thin and flat chested, yet she is the strongest character in the game and her shamanized form cranks it up to eleven.
* RequiredPartyMember: To enter [=CotLnd=]/Kott Fortress, and (rather [[GuideDangIt troublesome]]) to proceed into the whale.
* RunningGag: In the Japanese version, constant mention of her small cup size. If Salvador is recruited as a Township's resident, Katt will ask him to give her a bigger chest when it's her turn to get a statue. (He doesn't.)
* SimpleStaff
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Katt's outfit is made of fingerless gloves, toeless boots, a bra... and nothing else. Her shamanized form ditches the bra, replacing it with a ''tattoo'' painted around her torso.
* WomenAreWiser: Inverted, as Katt is the dumbest member of the party and gets called on it a few times. It's implied that her low intelligence is simply the result of her poor education, as she was raised to do nothing but fight.
* YourAnswerToEverything: Katt tries to fix everything using brute force, death threats and old fashioned violence. The funny part? ''It works''.
!! Rand Marks
* TheBigGuy
* BerserkButton: Don't mess with momma!
* DishingOutDirt
* GentleGiant
* GoodOldFisticuffs: His attack animation consists of a few quick punches and an uppercut. His equipable weapons are all brass knuckles.
* HealingHands
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He stays behind to hold two closing walls and let the team proceed. His mother then comes and forcefully switches places with him.]]
* MightyGlacier / StoneWall
* MommasBoy: The one reason he left his home.
* PunnyName: ''Land'' Marks. Because he rolls. Get it?
* PowerFist
* TeamDad: He says he sees himself as one during the Anfini test.
!! Nina Windia
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She's exiled due to her black wings.
* ApocalypseMaiden: The people of Wyndia ''think'' she's this due to her black wings, which is why she was banished.
* TheCameo: Appears as a card in the ''Heroes and Heralds'' mode of ''[[MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
* DuelBoss: Against the Guardian of the Wings [[spoiler:who ends up being the ghost of the first game's Nina, ancestor of the current]].
* FreakinessShame: [[HoYay From Katt.]]
* GlassCannon: She can deal a lot of damage with her offensive magic (unlike her counterpart in the original game, she's an offensive mage, not a support one), but can't take much in return
* GlobalAirship: [[spoiler:No, she's not the airship this time. She's the one calling it.]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Attempted to by turning into the Great Bird.]]
* ModestRoyalty
* RingOfPower: Her weapon set consists of rings.
* RoyalBlood: Though her parents ignore her existence, due to her wings [[spoiler:and one prediction stating that once a black-winged wyndian is born in the royal family, misfortune would strike the country]].
** [[spoiler: HalfHumanHybrid: Part dragon way in the back, actually. The ghost of the first Nina explains that the black wings come from her decision to marry someone from outside the Windian race, implied to be the first Ryu. As a result, every now and then a royal is born with black wings, because of the small amount of dragon heritage in them.]]
* ShesGotLegs
* WingedHumanoid
!! Sten Legacy
* TheAtoner: Mixed with a huge dose of survivor's guilt.
* TheCasanova: He ''attempts'' to play this trope with Nina and Katt. Nina gets disturbed, and Katt gives him a savage off-screen beating. Much later, we discover he fits perfectly the trope among his people, and his ''princess'' loves him dearly.
* ConMan
* DuelBoss: Against Trubo. [[PointOfNoReturn Hope you have leveled him up well.]] Otherwise, you're [[LevelGrinding going to spend some time]] in the castle's basement.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys
* ExtendableArms: His field skill is to cross over chasms by extending his arms.
* FakingTheDead: His in-battle option.
** He apparently did this with his fellow Highlanders; they believed he had died in a previous battle before his return.
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: He appears to sacrifice his life after the defeat of Shupkay, [[UnexplainedRecovery but he turns out to be just fine]], something that he didn't want.]]
* KnifeNut
* PlayingPossum: His special skill is feigning being K.O. so that enemies ignore him when attacking.
* PlayingWithFire: All of his spells are fire-based.
* TheRival: His old war buddy Turbo/Turvoe.
* ShellShockedVeteran
* StageMagician
!! Spar/Aspara Gus
* AmbiguousGender
* GreenThumb: His special skill allows him to, among others, [[WhenTreesAttack command trees to stomp on the enemies]] or flowers to bloom and restore the party.
** GeoEffects: The effect of the skill depends on the environment during the battle: while a forest background calls forth trees, a desert one will have exploding cacti.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: His Sana/Shin fusion is a anthropomorphic [[VisualPun snapdragon]]. Sadly, said fusion still uses his normal GeoEffects special.

** PunnyName: Now check his full name. Just don't [[FacePalm hit your face too hard.]]
* TheSpock: He is only capable of thinking logically, but starts discovering new feelings and emotions near the end of the game.

* [[spoiler:HeroAntagonist]]
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Turns out he's a member of the Dragon clan, as well.]]
* [[spoiler:TheRival]]
* [[spoiler:StealthMentor: He dies just for Ryu to learn the Kaiser Dragon transformation.]]
!!Valerie [=McCarran=]
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Her dragon form is downright enormous.
* [[spoiler:BarrierMaiden]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: That dragon on Gate's back bushes? One guess on ''her'' identity...]]
** [[spoiler:ConvenientComa: She's on a deep slumber until after Habaruku's attempt to kill her.]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: To open the entrance to Infinity.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: For Ryu's father.
* MamaBear: [[spoiler: She finally awakens in force once Habaruku threatens Patty/Yua.]]
* WingedHumanoid: A side effect of her race's continued contact with [[spoiler:Deathevan's]] aura.
* WomanInWhite
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair
!! Augus/Argus Cont, Joker Heart, Trout Barm, Kuwadora/Quadra X, Shupkay, Ringmaster John, Father Manson.
Deathevan's [[EliteMooks servants.]] Originally normal, relatively speaking, beings, Deathevan's influence turned them into demons.
* AllThereInTheScript: Ringmaster John's name is only seen in the CreativeClosingCredits.
* DeadlyGame: Argus wanted to turn the contest into this, thinking it'd be more exciting and satisfying for the public if Katt died during/after the bout.
* FatBastard: Trout and The Joker.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Joker's whole motivation was lusting over Nina.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Trout, again.
* TheNeidermeyer: Shupkay.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Manson summons a group of undead before he decides to fight himself.
* NotEvenHuman: Though it's Not Even Humanoid for Shupkay and Kuwadora.
* ObviouslyEvil: Again, all of them, but the ringmaster who captures Spar is so blatantly evil that it's almost funny.
* OneWingedAngel: They all pull one before you fight them.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Augus, who has two heads in his true form.
* PaletteSwap: Shupkay and the ringmaster's true forms are used as [[DegradedBoss recurring enemies]] later in the game.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ''Shupkay'' in the dialogue becomes ''Shup'''u'''kay'' in the boss battle.
* SpotTheImpostor: Kuwadora, who poses as Jean at one point during the game. Somewhat subverted in that nearly everyone at the castle knew he was full of crap, but went along with him anyway.
* SinisterMinister: Father Manson.
* ShoutOut: Trout and his rich neighbour/rival Kilgore are named after Kilgore Trout, a recurrent character used by writer KurtVonnegut.
** Manson is arguably named after cult leader Charles Manson, and his summoning of undead (and his position as ''Father'' Manson) may be references to Charles Manson's cult "The Family".
* TheUndead: Manson's [[OneWingedAngel fighting form]], the {{Necromancer}}.
!!Aruhamel/Alzheimer
* [[spoiler:BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: He's staying within [[TheWorldTree Gandaroof]]'s mind, making a mess out of his mind so he's neutered as an obstacle.]]
* EasyAmnesia: He uses amnesia as a ''weapon'', being capable of making the characters forget any number of spells from their spell list.
* MeaningfulName: [[CaptainObvious It's rather obvious in the Japanese version.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Unlike most other enemies in the game, he's a pure demon.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: This guy needs a break. He's spelt '''Aruhameru''' in the dialogue, '''Aruhamel''' in the BossBattle and '''Alheimer''' in the credits.
!! Habaruku/Habalq V [[spoiler:a.k.a. Father Hulk/Halq]]
* AbusiveParents: While he isn't shown to be outright abusive to Ray, he brushes him aside as "worthless" when he hears of his defeat at the hands of the heroes.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Remember that slightly goofy priest from the prologue, Father Hulk?]]
* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler:After abducting Father Ganer, he attaches him to a machine in the facility beneath the Grand Church and uses his life force to power Deathevan. If this doesn't sound bad enough, he tortures him like this for ''ten years''.]]
* TheDragon
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:He appears as Father Hulk ''long'' before his formal introduction near the end of the game.]]
* [[spoiler: EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: His monster form.]]
* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler: In addition to offering sacrifices to Deathevan, he attempts to offer up Patty's life to open the portal to Infinity and release demons upon the world.]]
* KingIncognito
* LightIsNotGood
* NotEvenHuman: Turns into a Cthulu esque monster when fought.
* ParentalSubstitute: Raised Ray.
* SinisterMinister
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: At times (and during the BossFight), his name appears misspelled as ''Babaruku''.
!! Barubary/Barbaroi
* TheDragon: Along with Habaruku.
* DuelBoss: He offers Ryu to fight one-on-one midway through his BossBattle. It's up to the player if he accepts or not.
* HopelessBossFight: Right in the prologue.
* NobleDemon: Probably the only demon in ''the whole series'' who has anything even resembling a code of honour.
** WorthyOpponent
* OurDemonsAreDifferent
* SelfImposedChallenge: Barubary challenges Ryu to fight him alone. It's actually easier to fight him solo if you stock up on Roasts and Wisdom Fruit then just spam G. Dragon 3 times. If you win he gives a [[GuideDangIt vague hint where the ultimate armor is]].
!! Deathevan, a.k.a. Father Evans/St. Eva
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:After Ryu hits him, it all goes downhill for him.]]
* [[spoiler:AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Deathevan feeds off human darkness. Also, Ganer explicity states in the good ending that, if Ryu can eliminate hate and despair on the world, he'd never be able to return.]]
* BigBad
* BreakingSpeech: Will give everyone you bring to the last fight a very pointed lecture about their "sins". [[spoiler: Except Deis, who he rants at for helping to kill his mother Myria in the first game.]]
* CrystalDragonJesus
* DarkIsEvil
* EarlyBirdCameo: He shows up in a few instances prior to the climax of the game, represented as a gigantic eye.
* EldritchAbomination: His true TRUE form. Making [[spoiler:mommy]] so proud!
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: Deatheven's presence causes the forests surrounding [[spoiler:Gate]] to wither and die.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: His Ice Breath attack, not to mention his whole [[spoiler:freezing the party schtick]].
* EvilOldFolks: In his human form.
* GodOfEvil: ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire'' follows a polytheistic universe, and so he is one of many gods rather than a singular god.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Essentially says so in the first scene of the game. [[spoiler: He doesn't actually need them, but they give him power and he'd be able to break out of his prison sooner.]]
* GuideDangIt: What's that? You say you didn't get Anfini before you came to face him? [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons ''HA-ha!'']]
* LightIsNotGood: He's a horrifically evil demon, but invokes this trope when he masquerades as [[spoiler:Evans/St.Eva]].
** Not to mention his Bone Laser attack is a huge beam of light.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:He's the spawn of BigBad Myria from the first game.]]
* NietzscheWannabe: "I will bless the world... with desperation. All living things will look up to me and feel happiness as they accept death."
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: As Ryu later discovers, Deathevan only lost his physical form after his final defeat. He decides to peform an HeroicSacrifice to take his mother's place as the guardian of the mountain... or if you get the best ending, your father will take your place and crush the whole mountain with the [=TownShip=]!]]
* OneWingedAngel
* [[spoiler:OurDragonsAreDifferent: A belief of some fans thanks to a mistranslation in the ending which "implies" he's a dragon. There's no such implication in the Japanese script.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: He does ''not'' react well when [[spoiler:Ryu [[CutscenePowerToTheMax cuts his hand off]] in a fit of UnstoppableRage.]]
** [[spoiler: It's hard to tell because of the not-so-detailed sprite. Either his hand was cut off or Ryu ''cut across his face.'']]
