History Characters / DeliciousInDungeon

* BerserkButton: Do not be a PickyEater. More importantly do not be a picky eater with poor table manners, [[SeriousBusiness or you will receive a lesson on proper etiquette regardless of who's lives are on the line.]]

* HybridMonster: She is a beastkin, essentially an artificial chimera, specifically a combination of some form of cat and human. She's traveling with the Thorden party now to find a way to break the curse that is keeping her [[LittleBitBeastly beastly]].

* LittleBitBeastly: She is manufactured being, a combination of some form of cat and human. She's traveling with the Thorden party now to find a way to break the curse that is keeping her beastly.

* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:As a chimera, she shrugs off damage that would normally kill any of her components -- in her case, a slashed throat and stab wounds to her heart, right lung, and kidney -- either because they're no longer vital organs for the whole, or because she has redundancies.]]

* ExperiencedProtagonist: The protagonists are definitely not newbies. They are very experienced people capable of surviving and telling the readers the many lores behind the great dungeon.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Downplayed, but Laius is quicker to awe at the dangerous monsters of the dungeon than be actually wary of them. Played straighter when, upon laying eyes on [[spoiler:Farlyn's chimera transformation]] for the first time (which he has just seen kill several people) his first thought is to admire how cool it looks ''before'' he starts worrying [[spoiler:about her monstrous state]].
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: He loses his left leg just below the knee to deal a fatal blow to the red dragon. Marcille reattaches it]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: He disagreed with Senshi for bonding with a monster because people can not know what's exactly inside a monster's mind. All at the same time [[spoiler: keeping a living sword and hiding it from the rest of the party]]. Although his [[spoiler: living sword]] is too weak to physically harm him and seems incapable of independent thought, he still doesn't practice what he preaches. [[spoiler: This bites him really hard when his living sword ran away during the fight with Red Dragon.]]
* IdiotHero: Laius is an odd mix dependable and undependable, there are many situations where he seems incredibly stupid and others where he seems very capable just as much, people follows his commands without questioning in the later moments.

* DitzyGenius: Has a great deal of knowledge about monsters, but seems to be severely lacking in common sense sometimes.
** It comes to bite him later on. When Sureau learns that [[spoiler:Laius' group revived Farlyn using black magic, he admits eventually that he would probably have done the same thing, Laius' rather devil-may-care attitude towards that, eating monsters, and telling Sureau that he won't tell anyone what they've done infuriates Sureau.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: He disagreed with Senshi for bonding with a monster because people can not know what's exactly inside a monster's mind. All at the same time [[spoiler: keeping a living sword and hiding it from the rest of the party]]. Although his [[spoiler: living sword]] is too weak to physically harm him and seems incapable of independent thought, he still doesn't practice what he preaches.
** [[spoiler: This bites him really hard when his living sword ran away during the fight with Red Dragon.]]

** The shape shifter incident is a good example of how he's can be both well versed on things but also kind of dense. He is very knowledgeable on shapeshifters, but he is so dotty, that he can barely remember exactly what his allies clothes look like (as two of the shape shifters that have different looking clothes are assumed to be from his mind.) His knowledge allows him to come up with a good plan to sort out who is real and who is a shape shifter, but none of others are sure he really knows what he's doing. And he actually manages to pick out who is the real one from pure instinct, before realizing that [[spoiler:they weren't dealing with doppelgangers but a wolf spirit creating illusions.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: InUniverse, among his various ideas, [[spoiler:eating RAW SEAFOOD is not one of the best. He gets infected with parasites for his trouble.]]

* TheDarkArts: [[spoiler: She dabbles in forbidden magic, believing that magic is inherently neither good nor evil and only man can be both.]]
** [[spoiler: Could also be terribly, terribly wrong about this - when she's using forbidden magic to cast Dispel on the Mad Sorcerer's dragonblood minions, she starts chuckling and smiling as she's spattered with blood, bleeding from the nose, and her eyes are unclear and distant.]]

* ICallItVera: Named her staff Ambrosia.

* TheMedic: She knows a few healing spells and thus is the reduced party's go-to girl for healing, but not being a Cleric like Farlyn ensures a vastly reduced effect.
** Unlike Farlyn, she is more like a [[MeatgrinderSurgery meatgrinder surgeon]] rather than a nursing healer. She heals wounds really fast but her patients will experience extreme pain as their damaged organs, torn flesh, and cracked bones correct themselves. On top of that, it only heals it to immediate working order - the rest of the healing is VERY slow going. [[spoiler:Where Laius' leg was reattached, it's a ghastly, still half-open and torn gash he keeps '''scratching''' at until Farlyn instantly heals it completely.]]

* DeadpanSnarker

* AncestralWeapon: His pot used to be a heirloom shield, but since he doesn't need the shield he repurposed it into a pot. Oh, and it's made of Adamantine capable of withstanding an Undine's water jet - not to mention that it's an unbelievably excellent metal for cooking with.
** [[spoiler: He also molded the fabled Mithril into a ''cooking'' knife, which... [[{{Understatement}} underutilization]] would probably get him killed by Namari]]

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: She's resurrected by Marcille using Forbidden Magic combined with Dragon meat in order to reform her completely, as only her bones were left after the Red Dragon digested her.]]
* [[spoiler: CameBackStrong: After being resurrected with Dragon Meat through Forbidden Magic, Farlyn should not have had much, if any mana at all - despite this, she was not only able to drop a protection spell strong enough to leave Senshi undamaged from a point blank gas explosion, she did so INSTANTLY, without any incantation or preparation whatsoever.]]
* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong: Chilchak suspects her to be this, he doesn't like the forbidden magic Marcille used to resurrect her. Also the fact that the living sword hides itself and jumps out of Farlyn's hands might be a hint.]]
** [[spoiler: Remember Namari's explanation about how sometimes resurrection will cause souls to fuse together? Marcille did just that with Farlyn and the Red Dragon's souls thanks to the Forbidden Magic she used.]]
** [[spoiler: As of chapter 37, Farlyn is transformed by the Mad Sorcerer [[BodyHorror into a harpy chimera.]]]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Like Namari, he chose not to return to the dungeon after barely escaping the dragon. We haven't seen him since to see if he feels bad about it.
** According to Namari, he's in love with Farlyn and has been pursuing his own lead on saving her. Confirmed when he is later encountered by Kabru's party with a new party of his own within the dungeon.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:Although he doesn't say it aloud, he goes from friendly to ready to kill Laius after learning they used the dark arts to revive Farlyn. After he explains the potential consequences for everyone involved, it's kind of hard to blame him.]]
** Though Kabru gets him to admit that in the same situation, he probably would have done the same thing. It's mostly Laius' blithe attitude about it that infuriates him.

!![[spoiler: The Sorcerer]]

* AlmightyJanitor
* AmbiguousGender: Consistently referred to as "they."
* [[spoiler: BadPowersBadPeople]]
* BloodMagic: [[spoiler: And much more effective at it than Marcille, too. The [[OlderThanTheyLook practice]] probably helped.]]
** SummonMagic: tying in with the above.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller
* GameFace: [[spoiler: Whenever they use magic, which happens to be whenever they're [[HairTriggerTemper furious.]] ]]

* TheLostLenore: Platonic version: they're desperately searching for the king of the Golden Kingdom...
** [[spoiler: [[DramaticIrony ...who we saw crawling up to the surface and promptly crumbling into dust.]] ''On the first page of the series.'']]
* MasterOfIllusion: They're first encountered inside the [[PortalPicture living paintings]] [[spoiler: the ones telling the life story of the last king.]] Laius needed the rest of the party to pull him out of one - and [[spoiler: the sorcerer]] ''remembers'' seeing Laius inside them when they turn up later, so....

* PlayingWithFire
* RedBaron: [[spoiler: ''the Mad Sorcerer''.]]

* NightmareFetishist: Absolutely fascinated by monsters, and had been deeply curious about their flavor for quite a while before the events of the series. Still, he fully understands how dangerous they can be.
