History Characters / FinalFantasyXIVDisciplesOfMagic

* GirlInABox: The Warrior of Light finds her trapped in a crate.

* GreaterScopeVillain: To Tristan for the ''A Realm Reborn'' Summoner storyline. He steps up to bat as the active BigBad in ''Heavensward'''s.

'''Epithet''': The Cross\\

* TheAtoner: Of a sort. [[spoiler:He is harsh with Sylphie and opposes her style of healing because Sylphie's mother used the same techniques, and said techiniques cost her her life. E-Sumi feels ''intensely'' guilty over not intervening in the case of Sylphie's mother sooner (and thus feels responsible for Sylphie being an orphan) and is absolutely determined to make sure history does not repeat itself.]]

* AChildShallLeadThem: Or at least someone who appears to be a child.

* LimitBreak: [[spoiler:The final White Mage quest in ''Stormblood'' has him cast Pulse of Life, the same level 3 limit break that a healer player can use, to revive Sylphie while also fully recovering Gatty the player's HP.]]

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Generally, although Sylphie has a tendency to push his buttons. [[spoiler:Her mere attempt at ''being'' a Conjurer pushes his "guilt" button, for one. In ''Stormblood'', he is willing to let Gatty stay with her mother as long as she learns to control her magic, even though Gatty is a Padjal who belongs in Gridania.]]

* ImperfectRitual: He tried to summon the Knights of the Round using the notes found in Archbishop Thordan's journals as instructions. He carried it out in the same place (Azys Lla) with the same implement (the sword Ascalon), but because the Warring Triad has long since been destroyed and Ascalon no longer has the eye of Nidhogg attached to it, Vartinoix had far less aether to put into the summoning than the archbishop did. As such, the ritual transforms King Thordan's would-be vessel into a deeply confused but otherwise normal man instead of the godlike Primal that Vartinoix wanted.

-->I have dedicated my life to the church! Conducted my affairs in accordance with the scriptures, and taught others to do likewise! But you took it all from us! Tore down everything that defined us! You cannot know how it feels to have your very existence rejected! To be forsaken by your community--to be ''denied'' by your society! Well, I deny ''you'' and this ''justice''! I deny an Ishgard where the church has no place! I refuse to accept it, do you hear me!? ''I refuse to accept it''!

* ReallyGetsAround: He's constantly carousing with women, often calling prostitutes in on lonely nights. This naturally does nothing to help his image. [[spoiler:To some extent this is a survival mechanism, as his enemies are less likely to move against the RichIdiotWithNoDayJob no one expects anything from than a heretical astrologian.]]
* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Up until he meets the Warrior of Light, Jannequinard hadn't furthered his studies in Sharlayan astrology for twenty years, rather he would spend his days chasing women and being seen as a harmless nuisance by Ishgardian astrologers.

* NumberOneDime: Her grimoire. It was a gift to her from the guildmaster.

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He spent a lot of it in some kind of stasis, but as the ''Encyclopedia Eorzea'' states, he's something on the order of ''sixteen hundred years old'', making him one of the oldest friendly characters in the entire game. Which means he must've been rather old even before the Green Death struck Nym.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:His is one of the few ages not explicitly stated in the ''Encyclopedia'', but logic dictates he's got to be around the same age as Surito.]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Like all Tonberries in the Wanderer's Palace, due to being in stasis. Although she's the youngest of the Tonberries that you meet, as she was less than 20 years old when she caught the Green Death.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: She may be a vicious BloodKnight and an InsufferableGenius who revels in destruction, but she's well-aware of what her people did with her Black Magic following her death. She's ashamed of Mhach's imperialism and the horrors it wrought in its reckless zest for power. This desire for atonement is part of the reason she's so motivated to use her prowess to avert disaster.

* RedBaron: According to Zhai'a, one of Shatotto's more charming titles was "Death's Handmaiden".

* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out the Seedseers on their insistence of remaining in the Twelveswood when they are needed elsewhere. These words cause Raya-O-Senna and A-Ruhn-Senna to reconsider their stances and agree to leave the forest to help out. [[spoiler:This also causes A-Ruhn to follow in A-Towa's footsteps by wandering around Eorzea to help people in need and purge whatever corruption that threatens the Twelveswood. Eschiva is delighted to hear A-Ruhn step up and decides to accompany him in his journey like her great-grandfather had done with A-Towa.]]

* YouWereTryingTooHard: [[spoiler:His constant attempts to impress Leveva and the Warrior of Light go nowhere, and just make Jannequinard come across as a pompous ass who got where he is through his connections. This gets more true when he goes through a BreakTheHaughty moment, as the Warrior of Light gets in days what he couldn't get in years with astrology study. But thanks to some clever planning, Jannequinard ends up leading the Noble Court into a trap for the Astrologians, giving them the edge and letting them continue to spread their teachings further. Only when Jannequinard stopped trying to be the most impressive man in the room [[SweetAndSourGrapes did he become genuinely impressive]].]]

* CowardlyLion: As told in one of the Tales from the Calamity, despite their generally cowardly nature the 5 Lolobuki brothers were the only thaumaturges that answered Nanamo's call to help stop rioting in Ul'Dah immediately after the Calamity. Their bravery there was what led Cocobuki to be named Guildmaster of the guild, especially since it came to light that the previous guildmaster was corrupt and cowardly, willing to incinerate scared citizens trying to enter the guild during said riots.

* InTheHood: He and his brothers wear hooded robes.

* HornyDevil: Mormo is a succubus. Though we don't see it, she happened to seduce and lead a few women away with her [[spoiler:to use as a sacrifice to become her true form.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:She losing her healing abilities after trying and failing to cast Raise. This leads to Sylphie having to learn how to conjure the elementals in the proper way.]]

* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Due to shunning the lessons of conjury in favor of solely focusing on healing.]]

* [[TurnOutLikeHisFather Turn Out Like Her Mother]]: What she strives towards, but what E-Sumi-Yan is trying to prevent. [[spoiler:[[CastFromHitPoints With]] [[HeroicRROD good reason]].]]

* AnAxToGrind: Carries a battle ax instead of a kitchen knife.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After encountering Doesmaga as well as the unrepairable damage to her Grimoire - a gift from the Guildmaster - as a result of the latter throwing it overboard]].

* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't hold back in telling the Seedseers that people don't look up to them as much because of their hesitation to leave the Twelveswood, as the padjal are the ones who should be protecting the people of Twelveswood but they've been relying on the Warrior of Light and her.

* {{Dracolich}}: [[spoiler:The "spoils" of her research, a powerful undead dragon under her thrall.]]
* EvilSmellsBad: The narrative implies that she smells bad. Eschiva remarks on a stench"upon meeting Alaqa for the first time, and the textboxes call her Malodorous Mage before the player learns what her name is. Later on, Eschiva clarifies that "the stench of death" is all around Alaqa.

* NonActionBigBad: When you encounter her for the final time, she sics a zombie dragon and skeletons on you and she doesn't do any actual fighting herself.

* ThePigPen: The narrative implies that she smells bad. Eschiva remarks on a "stench" upon meeting Alaqa for the first time, and the textboxes call her "Malodorous Mage" before the player learns what her name is.
* ReformedCriminal: [[spoiler:''Shadowbringers'' reveals that she has atoned for her crimes and are repaying her debts to society by taking up the arts of conjury to heal people and the forest.]]
