* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: When it comes to Goblin Slayer. She casually and cheerfully greets him every morning she can before she gets dress, either in her underwear or by covering herself with her bedsheet. It gets {{Averted}} in one variation, however; despite Goblin Slayer seeing her near-nude practically everyday, in Volume 8, when Goblin Slayer walked in to her room when she was ''completely'' naked, she becomes shocked, gets a LuminescentBlush and tried to (ineffectively) cover herself with her hands.

* TheSlacker: Dislikes strict schedules and extensive itineraries on quests, and complains about having to do herr own chores at the guild inn.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: The "high elf" part of her epithet is of a rare lineage, and thus she regularly turns heads with her extraordinary beauty. Subverted behavior-wise though, as her ruder aspects stem out of hot-headed youthfulness than of cultural superiority and she lacks the stature and curvaceousness often associated with her species.

* RainOfArrows: She is fast enough on the draw to lay one-woman suppressive fire whenever the situation calls for it.

* VariableTerminalVelocity: Can use Falling Control to slow or even reverse a fall. Weirdly, it's Earth magic [[FridgeBrilliance or perhaps not so weird if you recall]] [[GeniusBonus gravity is caused by the Earth's mass.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: The only prominent character with red hair, and initially had the deepest relationship with Goblin Slayer due to their shared past.

* BerserkButton: In Volume 16 he goes seething with fury when he is forced to back down and run from the vampire in the abandoned temple after it proved too strong for him to keep up with in close combat.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Tells a horse to graze before crossing onto desert turf "in a language not spoken by people."
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Wields a greatbow with an incrdible amount of distinguishment.

* GoingCommando: Apparently elves don’t wear underwear in this setting. Hell, in Volume 2, she doesn’t even know what [[{{UsefulNotes/Pettanko}} bras]] and panties are ''for''. Guild Girl later takes her shopping to explain, with humorous results.

* ShipTease: Despite claiming she doesn’t have feelings for Goblin Slayer, she constantly seeks his company and doesn’t hide her pleasure when he acknowledges her. She also always sticks up for him, such as when she was visibly upset at the rude remarks being made, she goes to sit next to Goblin Slayer, pressing herself against his arm while being very friendly with him. As they walk out of the Guild, she also takes him by the hand. This causes confusion and jealousy among those who were berating him, to which she takes gratification in.

* ChainmailBikini: She tries one on when she has a day off with Priestess.

* UnskilledButStrong: Despite being a [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Girl]], Cow Girl is stated to be athletic and very physically strong due to years of manual work from living on a farm. Cow Girl has thought to herself that her physical strength could result in her becoming a formidable adventuress, and imagines that if she were to take on class it would be something similar to ''Amazon's'', complete with ChainmailBikini and large ax. However, between her mental trauma from her original village being destroyed and being content with her current farm life, Cow Girl views her own contemplation of being an adventurer as just fun WhatIf scenarios to think about.

* AnimalEyes: He posesses nictitating membranes.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Being able to create skeletal minions would usually be a red-flag, especially given how it’s noted that Necromancers and most Lizardmen are on the side of the Unpraying, but Lizard Priest is a devoted servant of the good and no one around him ever questions that conviction. DiscussedTrope in volume 11, when Noble Fencer muses how in a storybook, the Dragontooth Warrior would be a worthless minion of an evil wizard, but the one made to guard her provides her with more comfort and sense of security than almost anything else.

* CombatMedic: Is primarily a frontline fighter, but his “Refresh” spell is also a decent pick-me-up after pitch battle.

* DinosaursAreDragons: His ultimate goal is to achieve enough power and renown to be made into a "Naga", which are the being he worships. The are pretty clearly meant to be dinosaurs, between names such as Velociraptor and Brontosaurus and references to the Big Freeze killing them, but he does not correct anyone when they refer to them as dragons, and in Volume 5 even describes his hypothetical future form with the appearance and abilities of the latter.

* HealingHands: His “Refresh” spell can stabilize critically injured people. It doesn’t fix all the damage but it sees more effective use than Priestess' quite weak “Heal.”

* MightyRoar: Occasionally, when emotions are running extremely high, he’ll let out a great, saurian bellow of challenge.

* {{Necromancer}}: His most-used spell creates/summons a skeleton warrior to fight at his side.

* {{Paladin}}: A [[MagicKnight spell-capable frontline melee unit]] and ReligiousBruiser whose magic is derived from his object of devotion, though it’s implied that Lizardman religion is based on ancestor worship instead of honoring a diety or pantheon.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Often loudly calls on his ancestors to witness his deeds in battle as he charges into the fray. And then there's this;

* PsychicLink: Can sense the location and status of his Dragontooth Warriors, the precison depending on his focus.

* SummonMagic: He can use catalysts to summon a Dragon-Tooth Warrior, a bipedal draconid skeleton, as an ally. It is just as adept with a blade as he is. With some proper preparation, he can even summon a veritable army of the creatures to fight alongside him.

* TastesLikeFriendship: He had always been receptive to Goblin Slayer upon their first meeting, but the grimy warrior pretty much won Lizard Priest's lifelong companionship and loyalty with the cheese he offered at a campfire.

* DistractedByTheSexy: In Volume 9, she wakes up straddling Goblin Slayer after hiding in well from goblins, and has to consciously tell herself not to lose her head over the incident under the present circumstances.

* HonoraryTrueCompanion: By virtue of her close relationsip with Goblin Slayer, at least at first. It is clear that Priestess looks up to her as a big-sister figure. And Cow Girl, usually goes out her way to hang out with Goblin Slayer and his friends, and some of them becoming her friends as well. She is central to the plot of the First Volume and is full on the action during Volume 9.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: When sent in to distract the Beholder in the sewer dungeon she grouses to herself about how her older sister and cousin would have been able to shoot out its eyes as they dodged around it if they were in her place.

* AttackOnTheHeart: In volume 12 she buries an arrow in the heart of a wyvern. After first nailing it in the eye, passing through its brain, and coming out the other eye to then dip and arc into its breast.

* BoyfriendBluff: Cuddles up to Goblin Slayer while shopping in Water Town to shut up some snooty adventurers talking smack about him and attempting to pass at her.

* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: She holds an arrow in her mouth while climbing a treetop to reach the goblins riding Mokele Mbembe's back. She then proceeds to operate her bow with her mouth as well.

* DinosaursAreDragons: His ultimate goal is to acheive enough power and reknown to be made into a "Naga," which are the being he worships. The are pretty clearly meant to be dinosaurs, between names such as Velociraptor and Brontosaurus and references to the Big Freeze killing them, but he does not correct anyone when they refer to them as dragons, and in Volume 5 even describes his hypothetical future form with the appearance and abilities of the latter.

* TheAgeless: His people claim to be immune to senescence, though in practice they almost all tend to die young by even human standards due to [[ProudWarriorRace a culture that exults throwing themselves into battle.]]
* AgreeToDisagree: Has a very “live and let live” attitude towards other faiths, seeing no reason for conflict over theological differences. It helps that his ancestor-worship is as much an ethnocultural expression as a formal religion. He’ll still make BlackComedy jokes about “smiting heretics” if people refuse to be assured of his tolerance.
* AliensLoveHumanFood: He's reptilian and from a culture that doesn't practice agriculture or livestock-rearing. Goblin Slayer introduces him to cheese, and he rapidly becomes obsessed with the stuff.

* MagicEnhancement: One of his miracles, Partial Dragon, temporarily boosts his own muscle density with the power of the Naga he worships, letting him to tear apart stone with his bare claws.

* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Lizard Priest is unique in that he does not conform to a traditional rpg class. He can summon skeletons, sharpen his blades, increase his muscles, rust metal, and comprehend languages with his magic while remaining a vicious combatant. There isn't an archetype that has all of these ComboPlatterPowers in most fantasy games.

* HypocriticalHumor: She chides Goblin Slayer for not knowing about the Earth Mother temple's wine-making festival... then immediately turns to ask Priestess about the whole thing. She defends herself to Dwarf Shaman that she's only been in town 2 years as opposed to 7, and both times was on extended trips during the summer wine season.

* AdaptationalCurves: While she is big in the Light Novels, Manga, and Anime, it's more pronounced in the anime. [[DownplayedTrope The increase in size]] [[BlinkAndYouMissIt is subtle, though]]. Comparing her first appearance in the manga and anime together, she goes from at least bigger than an E cup in the manga to a size so large it rests fully on the windowsill.

* CharacterAlignment: Funimation released ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' character sheets for [[https://blog.funimation.com/2018/12/07/goblin-slayer-character-stat-cards/ Goblin Slayer's adventuring party]], which includes their canonical alignments.

** Priestess, High Elf Archer, and Dwarf Shaman are all LawfulGood.
** Lizard Priest is LawfulNeutral.

* HidingBehindYOurBangs: Back when she was a ShrinkingViolet with crippling social anxiety, her hair was longer and covered half of her face.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the past, she grew her hair out over the five years since she first heard of her hometown's destruction. She was still suffering grief and loneliness, and her [[PeekABangs uncut bangs]] made it convenient to not have to look anyone in the eye. She returns to her original hairstyle after she resolves to remain by Goblin Slayer's side.

* PeekABangs: Back when she was a ShrinkingViolet with crippling social anxiety, her hair was longer and covered half of her face.

* {{Keigo}}: Lizard Priest always speaks with antiquated diction and deferential tones, and addresses those around him with titles such as Lady Ranger, Master Spellcaster, Lady Priestess, and Milord Goblin Slayer.
