* AbusiveParents: Nicolas has an abusive parental stand in in the form of his uncle, who beats him and puts him down at every turn. Justified in that this was rather normal parenting for a time before children had many rights.
* AttentionWhore: He shows some signs of this, going to great lengths to be seen as a knight and get the attention and recognition that comes with it.
* {{Determinator}}: Nicolas shows incredible amounts of determination towards being a knight. While it doesn't always go well for him, he sticks to his goal no matter what happens, and actually winds up with a [[EarnYourHappyEnding fairly good end]] to show for it all.
* GlorySeeker: Nicolas's main motivation is being recognized as a real knight, and he'll do almost anything to get that. He's determined to be a knight no matter what the cost, and tries multiple times to throw himself in the way of death just to prove that he's brave. He's confirmed to be weak to appearances, and focuses heavily on how people see him.
* HeroicWannabe: He absolutely embodies this. Nicolas's primary goal in life is to be a knight, and despite everything in his life trying to stop him, does ''not'' give up on his dream. [[spoiler:This determination and willingness to do anything leads to the death and enslavement of countless children, all because of his plot to become a knight.]]
* HighHopesZeroTalent: Nicolas is determined to be a knight at any cost. . . completely discounting the fact that he's a 12 year old from the middle of nowhere with no one and nothing to support his dream. He's not particularly good at combat, either, and seems to be running mostly on dreams and high hopes.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: [[spoiler: In later chapters, Christian is revealed to be in love with Etienne and desiring to become a woman in order to be with him. It's unclear if he's actually transgender, and wants to be female for more reasons than being with Etienne, or if he's just using being female as a justification for his feelings. Considering his overly logical personality and tendency to want explanations for things, either is possible.]]
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: While possibly not [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity gay]], Christian does ''not'' get a happy ending. After it's revealed that he despises himself for ever loving Etienne, he's impaled through the midsection by Michael and kicked into a river to die, with his textbook, his most precious belonging, shredded and thrown in after him.]]
* ComingOutStory: [[spoiler: In chapter 20, he reveals himself as gay/trans (it's unclear which) to Etienne in the form of stabbing Etienne's lover in the back, explaining his love for Etienne (whim he's loved since childhood), and then trying to kill him when the other doesn't accept his feelings. The sheer amount of pain he's experiencing is heartbreaking, especially seeing the normally composed Christian break down over his feelings for Etienne.]]
* CrazyJealousGuy: [[spoiler: [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity or possibly]] ClingyJealousGirl]] Attempts to kill the lover of the person he's in love with, then chokes them out with the intent to kill when they don't return his feelings. Later, it's revealed that he had all intention of killing them and then himself if they didn't accept his feelings.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Seems to think this about [[spoiler: Etienne, even going so far as to try to kill him when the other rejects his feelings.]]
* {{Gayngst}}: [[spoiler: He's in love with Etienne and hates himself over it, even going so far as to say that "I became a devil the moment I fell in love with you!" to Etienne. His self hatred over the matter is so bad that, when killed, he expresses genuine joy at finally being put out of the misery he's been living. All of this is fairly justified, considering that in the time period, being gay was punishable by death. Also see TransTribulations below.]]

* TransTribulations: [[spoiler: While it's unclear if he's actually trans, he definitely has to deal with this. Due to being in love with Etienne, he realized that he wants to be female, and hates himself over it to the point of showing genuine happiness when killed. He calls himself a devil for ever loving Etienne, and dreams of going to the Middle East, where sex change surgery can make him the way he wants to be. Also see {{Gayngst}} above.]]

* {{Panacea}}: Remy is told that sugar is this, and eventually develops a perceived addiction to it, believing that it will keep him from succumbing to his illness.
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Guy, thanks to his childhood spent living as a bandit, is much more adjusted to the horrors of the Crusade than his teammates, all of whom are entirely unaccustomed to violence. Despite being a kind person at heart Guy has seen some things, and his experience winds up being a great asset when the Children's Crusade actually has to fight.
* CoveredWithScars: Guy's entire body is covered with a variety of scars inflicted during his time as a bandit.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Guy fulfills both sides of this trope. As a villain, his scar covered body is ObviouslyEvil, but once he turns his life around and starts serving under Etienne, his scars are just neat enough to fall under the good side of this trope.
* ScarsAreForever: Even when shown later in life, Guy's scars are still very much present, despite the fact that he received most of them at a very young age.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Michael lies about both being the chosen child of God and bringing miracles to the common folk.
