History Characters / BreathOfFireIII

* TheHero

* BladeOnAStick: A very large spear is his preferred weapon.

* TriangRelations: Type 4. Beyd wants to marry Shadis, but she's engaged to Zig.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: In the lower levels of the castle, Nina is more respected than her parents. They support and cover for her decision to [[RebelliousPrincess rebel]], and she can come and go as she pleases even after running away.

* MagicWand: Uses one as a child, it turns into a proper staff when she's older.

* EvilCounterpart: To Ryu. Both have similar starts, and while Teepo is attracted to Myria's view of his powers and the Brood and sides with her, Ryu chooses free will and confronts her.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Even in her frail-looking human form, she's strong enough to knock Garr around like a ball.

* OffModel: Ryu's child design clashes between his finalized artwork shown above, and the concept artwork used for his sprites that gives him different clothes and a more poofy hair shape.

* OffModel: Teepo's child design sprites are very different from his actual artwork, to the point that it's easy to [[DudeLooksLikeALady mistake his gender]].

* OffModel: Suffers this the most, as her sprite/concept designs only vaguely resemble her finalized artwork. This is especially jarring in the ending, where she shows up in the final design above - which looks absolutely ''nothing'' like her adult design up to that point.

* [[MrFixit Miss Fixit]]: Need to fix the Lighthouse? Bring in Momo! The ship isn't working and nobody understands why? Call Momo! There are problems in the Plant? [[SarcasmMode Gee, I wonder who can help us?]]

* AnAxeToGrind: He breaks out a two-handed battle-axe for his boss fight.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: He saves the {{a|nAxeToGrind}}xe for log-cutting.

* MsFanservice: [[ShesGotLegs Long legs]], a short dress and [[ZettaiRyouiki some knee-high]] boots. She definitely counts.

* TookALevelInBadass: Just compare his dragon transformations as a kid vs. as an adult. He even takes a minor one early on in the game. Compare his attack animations at the start of the game versus when he meets Nina.

* BerserkButton: Mess with his [[TrueCompanions family]] and [[PapaWolf you'll pay]]. [[UnstoppableRage With blood.]]
* TheBerserker: [[spoiler: As Weretiger.]]

* MsFanservice: [[ShesGotLegs Long legs]], a short dress and [[ZettaiRyouiki some knee-high]] [[NiceShoes boots]]. She definitely counts.

* CorruptHick: The boss of a farming village who squeezes the people to pay for his women.

* KnifeNut: He dual wields knives.

* WingsDoNothing: The only Nina whose wings grant her no special skills or abilities. It's even hinted they're just accessories and Wyndians don't ''have'' wings anymore.

* MsFanservice: [[ShesGotLegs Long legs]], [[DangerouslyShortSkirt a short dress]] and [[ZettaiRyouiki some knee-high]] [[NiceShoes boots]]. She definitely counts.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green.

* ShoutOut: Stallion's design and trademark technique are one to Franchise/{{Ultraman}}. He even strikes his popular L-pose while using it. For some reason, the references were removed in the PSP remake, with his color changed to brown and his technique renamed.

* PlantPerson: He's a large onion who [[IncrediblyLamePun makes his opponents cry]].

* WaifFu: Even in her human form, she's strong enough to knock Garr around like a ball.

* PlantPerson: He's a large onion.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Mikba's dying words reveals to Rei that Ryu already killed Balio and Sunder, and it can be inferred he realizes or gets told off-screen that it was pre-TimeSkip at that. This causes Rei to briefly snap when he realizes that his Weretiger rampages to slaughter the mafia in revenge may have been almost entirely pointless [[HeWhoFightsMonster and made him as bad as those he hunted.]]]]

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: In the lower levels of the castle, Nina is more respected than her parents. They support and cover for her [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious]] tendencies, and she can come and go as she pleases even after running away.

* TheCameo: Gets a small cameo in ComicBook/DoctorStrange's ending in ''Ultimate VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.

* MasterOfAll: With proper training, usually becomes one. His True Kaiser Dragon transformation also counts.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:His realization at the Angel Tower that for as weak and fleshy as the young Ryu is, even despite the potential granted by the Brood blood in his veins, the boy's transformation into [[InfinityPlusOneSword Kaiser form]] is so overwhelmingly powerful despite being a mere ''child''. This also triggers him realizing a massive hole in the logic of his faith; if Ryu of all people could've killed him with zero effort, ''how did the Brood lose?'']]

* TheCameo: In ''IV'''s NewGamePlus.

* RedBaron: The referee at the Contest of Champions introduces Garr with a list of badass epithets.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Quite a literal one. All Guardians are strengthened by Myria's energy, so once she's defeated for good he turns into stone.]]

* [[PoseOfSupplication Pose of Supplication]]: When KO'd in battle, he slumps forward in a humiliating pose where he's bent over on his knees, with his butt protruding upward.

* WelcomeBackTraitor: [[spoiler: Though to be fair, only Ryu knows the true story of what happened.]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: All ghosts merge to form the Amalgam / Conglomerate.
* BilingualBonus[=/=]ShoutOutThemeNaming: As befits a line of money-grubbing aristocrats, [=McNeil=]'s ancestors are named after business terms: Kanzei = customs, Torast (Torastu) = trust, Kassen (Kashisen) = "cashes in", Galtel (Karuteru) = cartel, Doksen (Dokusen) = monopoly. Their merged form Amalgam is called "Congermerate" (conglomerate) in the Japanese version.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's rather cowardly and weak. His [[TheMafia "friends"]], on the other hand, are anything but.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Mayor [=McNeil=] is the thirteenth of his line, and the one who ends up screwing it up for the whole family.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: He thought that it would be a good idea to have [[CatFolk Rei]], [[{{Weredragon}} Ryu & Teepo]] steal money from [=McNeil=]. As Bunyan reveals to the three of them (and the player) afterwards. [=McNeil=] is friends with [[ArcVillain the main villians]] for the first half of the game [[SapientSteed Balio & Sunder]], and he orders them to burn down Rei's house in retaliation.
* DirtyCoward: After [=McNeil=] is robbed, he flees town so [[TheMafia The Organization]] won't get him. He comes back a few years later to testify against him though.

* ShoutOut: Stallion's design and trademark technique are one to Series/{{Ultraman}}. He even strikes his popular L-pose while using it. For some reason, the references were removed in the PSP remake, with his color changed to brown and his technique renamed.

* ContinuityNod: His speech regarding God, reveals that he is a demon created by [[Videogame/BreathOfFireII Deathevan]].

* AngelicBeauty: She's usually seen assuming the form of a winged woman with light all around her.

* BigBad: She's Ryu's ultimate enemy, as the destroyer of the Brood and the one who commanded Garr and the other Guardians to carry out that genocide.

* HeroAntagonist:It's undeniable that she's fighting to preserve the world from the dangers of the Brood, the Desert of Death and uncontrolled technological advancement. The problem is, while the Brood are dangerously powerful, they're ''not'' evil. And you're one of them. Yggdrasil also points out that keeping the Desert locked away from the lands of the living prevents them from recolonizing it.

* BadassBeard
* TheBigGuy

* BigGood: With Deis imprisoned and Jono and Ladon largely inactive, it's the most powerful active force fighting against Myria.

* ShoutOut: Beyd's rival, Zig, bears a strong resemblance to [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Bluto.]]
* ShoutOutThemeNaming: All characters from Raphala are named after fishing equipment: Beyd is "Bait", while Zig, Sinkar and Shadis are named after the "Jig", "Sinker" and "Shad" baits.
** The region itself is named after a brand of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapala fishing gear]].

* [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Gal]] Despite her formidable prowess in the previous two games, she doesn't join the party for this outing.
* PermanentlyMissableContent: [[spoiler: Can be missed as a Master if you don't flatter her when you first meet her snaky form.]]

* CrackOhMyBack: Every three turns during his BossFight, he'll waste a turn with the "Bad Back" skill. You can even learn it from him, though it doesn't do anything.

* MrExposition: Part of his purpose is to fill you in on part of the big mystery surrounding the Brood.

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler: He has sealed within himself the essence and powers of the whole Brood, which coalesce into the almighty Infinity Gene once he is defeated.]]
