* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:He has sealed within himself the essence and powers of the whole Brood, which once defeated materialize in the allmighty Infinity Gene.]]

!!Myria

* AGodAmI: She herself. [[spoiler:She seems to be not so sure at the end, though.]]
* AngelicBeauty: Her initial form.
* BackFromTheDead
* BigBad
* [[spoiler:[[CainAndAbel Cain to Deis's Abel]]]]
* TheCameo: Appears as a card in the ''Heroes and Heralds'' mode of ''[[MarvelVsCapcom3 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first game, she was the villain ForTheEvulz and literally fed on being hated and feared. Here, she's a WellIntentionedExtremist trying to protect all life from destruction by destroying or imprisoning the Brood.
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:She appears right on the beginning in Ryu's dream.]]
* FanDisservice: She wears GodivaHair during her battle. Except for her default attack, where her guts rupture out to slap someone as her hair flies back.
* {{Gnosticism}}: The early games hint at it but ''BreathOfFireIII'' finally confirms that Myria is meant to be some kind of parallel to the Demiurge, [[spoiler:as she believes herself to be a divine being despite implications that she isn't standing... implications that she seems to accept at the end]].
* LightIsNotGood
* MyBelovedSmother: [[spoiler:She's this to ''all the earth's habitants''.]]
* NightmareFace: Just see her sprite during the Holocaust attack.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:She's usually seen assuming the form of a winged woman with light all around her]]. However, there is a distinct UncannyValley effect you realize that her wings are upside down.
* PowerSource: [[spoiler:It is stated the chrysm, the fuel for all machinery on the world, is a medium for Myria to provide the world with her magical energy.]]
* TheScottishTrope: The Urkans (and Guardians) are prohibited to speak the name of their goddess, or that of her enemy the Brood.
* SpaceStation: Orbital Station Myria.
* VillainousBreakdown
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She's protecting life and the world by sending the technology of Caer Xhan to humanity via the Black Ship in manageable doses, keeping the Desert of Death away from humanity with an ocean barrier, and stopping the Brood from destroying the world with their power. Unfortunately, sending machines to humanity means making humanity dependent on her, keeping the Desert away from the rest of the world prevents humanity and Yggdrasil from colonizing and restoring it, and protecting the world from the Brood means either killing them all or imprisoning them in a false Heaven, regardless of whether or not they've done anything wrong.
