History Characters / LegendOfMana

* OverprotectiveDad: He dotes on Rachel so much that he doesn't even allow her to go anywhere past the town gate, citing the outside world's "not safe for my dear little angel." While he does have a good point, he takes it to babying extremes, much to both Rachel ''and'' his wife's chagrin.

* BladeOnAStick: He's always carrying around a spear as his weapon.

* ForTheGreaterGood: Sierra was willing to slay her own brother for this reason; if Drakonis had gotten out and wreaked havoc in Fa'Diel, he'd likely take every life on the planet as his sustenance, [[spoiler: just like he did with Larc]], as well as protecting her master's life.

* AsianStoreOwner: Has an Indian look about him.

* InterspeciesAdoption: In the anime, the human Serfina was adopted by the Jumi Sandra when she found her abandoned as a baby.

* PetTheDog: After the end of the Jumi story arc, [[spoiler:she throws a note to the player just like the ones she'd been leaving during her cat and mouse jewel stealing, Jumi killing game. The note reads "Please take care of Florina for me." Averted in ''Teardrop Crystal'', where she just walks away and doesn't even bother to help un-petrify Shiloh and Serafina like the other Jumi do despite everything the two did for her and the entire Jumi race. A scene was added to Director's Cut of the final episode, where Sandra was shown tearing up after leaving the Bejeweled City]].

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the game, both playable characters are simply avatars with no real personality or backstory to them, save for the heavy implication that they were specifically created by the Mana goddess herself to become saviors of Fa'Diel. In ''Teardrop Crystal'', while the same is still implied for the male hero (named Shiloh), the female heroine (named Serafina) is given a completely new backstory as a war orphan who was found and raised by Alexandre of the Jumi, which explains the antagonistic role she ends up playing in this anime adaptation.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The final episode of ''Teardrop Crystal'' explains that Serafina (the game's female player character) was a war orphan found and raised by the jewel thief, Sandra. This is an original invention by the anime since in the game, Sandra is merely an ArcVillain who's never had any prior interactions with either protagonists.

* PetTheDog: After the end of the Jumi story arc, [[spoiler:she throws a note to the player just like the ones she'd been leaving during her cat and mouse jewel stealing, Jumi killing game. The note reads "Please take care of Florina for me." Averted in ''Teardrop Crystal'', where she just walks away and doesn't even bother to help un-petrify Shiloh and Serafina like the other Jumi do despite everything the two did for her and the entire Jumi race]].

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Became the ruler of the Underworld after defeating the previous ruler.

* GenderFlip: A bit of an odd case for the manga adaptation. Rather than have both of Alexandra's forms be fully biological transformations like in the original game and anime adaption, the manga [[spoiler:downgrades Sandra to a mere disguise and makes Alex the primary/"true" form instead. To drive the point home, he's even given the male equivalent of Sandra's ''qipao'' after the reveal - a sleeveless vest reminiscent of a ''tangzhuang'' top. The ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime does show that Alexandre's original form was more similar to the Alex persona.]]
* GenocideFromTheInside: It turns out the one hunting Jumi to extinction is [[spoiler:a Jumi herself!]]

* MeaningfulName: Sharp-eyed people will notice that Alex is short for [[spoiler:Alexandre.]]
* NotQuiteHuman: Contrary to his appearance, [[spoiler:Alex is not really a human. It's merely a cover for Alexandre/Sandra, who is really a Jumi. Sandra dons this disguise to draw attention away from herself.]]

* ForcedSleep: Alex[[spoiler:andre]] puts her to eternal slumber so she would no longer hurt herself creating healing tears.

* LightLiegeDarkDefender: The Light Liege to Lady Blackpearl's (and later, Alexandre's) Dark Defender.
* NiceGirl: Not only is she willing to sacrifice herself to create healing tears for her people, but she pleads with Lady Blackpearl to show mercy to [[spoiler:Alexandre]] despite the fact the latter had betrayed their own people.

* DespairEventHorizon: After Florina is kidnapped by Alexandre and most of the Jumi start leaving her Bejeweled City in fear of another attack by the Enaanshalc Empire without the aid of Florina's healing tears, she loses hope and willingly petrifies herself.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has aquamarine-colored hair.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: Of each other in the anime adaptation, though it never goes deeper than a few ship teases.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: To each other in the anime adaptation, though it never goes deeper than a few ship teases.

* HeroicMime: All interaction is handled by dialogue trees except for the end of the Jumi Arc, wherein the character declares: [[spoiler: "I'm back!" to Bud and Lisa]]. Subverted in the ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime, where both Shiloh and Serafina are voiced.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The audience [[spoiler:later learns why Sandra is hunting down other Jumi and killing them for their cores when they refuse to or cannot cry. The Lord of Jewels promised to heal Florina and revive the Jumi by consuming Jumi cores. Despite the Lord of Jewels's plan failing in the end, Sandra was desperate for any other alternative other than Florina sacrificing herself for the Jumi. So Sandra took the most gruesome path since it was the only one that ensured Florina's survival. As Blackpearl points out, however, Sandra was never acting on Florina's own wishes and was just selfishly pursuing her own desire to keep Florina around at the expense of others' lives]].

* CombatPragmatist: She defeats both Rubens [[spoiler: and Lady Blackpearl]] with underhanded tactics.
* DeviousDaggers: Utilizes daggers as her main weapon in the ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime. [[spoiler:She originally wielded nunchucks when she was Alexandre.]]

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:She is the adoptive parent of Serafina in the ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime, who found Serafina as a baby and raised Serafina as her own.]]
* PetTheDog: After the end of the Jumi story arc, [[spoiler:she throws a note to the player just like the ones she'd been leaving during her cat and mouse jewel stealing, Jumi killing game. The note reads "Please take care of Florina for me."]]

* SelfImposedExile: [[spoiler:After being revived with the other Jumi following the events of the ''Teardrop Crystal'', Sandra is too ashamed to look Florina in the eye after everything she's done in the Jumi Arc or call herself Florina's knight. So, instead of returning to the Bejeweled City, she banishes herself and says to Blackpearl in a note to take care of Florina in her steed. It also doesn't help that she's still on the run from Inspector Boyd, given her crime of hunting and killing other Jumi for their cores.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:We later learn why Sandra is hunting down other Jumi and killing them for their cores when they refuse to or cannot cry. The Lord of Jewels promised to heal Florina and revive the Jumi by consuming Jumi cores. Despite the Lord of Jewels's plan failing in the end, Sandra was desperate for any other alternative other than Florina sacrificing herself for the Jumi. So Sandra took the most gruesome path since it was the only one that ensured Florina's survival.]]
* YouHateWhatYouAre: [[spoiler:It's suggested that Sandra hates the Jumi as she calls all the Jumi, other than Florina, stone puppets as she believes that the Jumi's inability to cry is caused by their loss to care for others. Due to this, she believes that all the Jumi should die rather than Florina.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:'''　Taiki Yamashita (Anime)

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:She is the adoptive parent of Serfina in the ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime, who found Serfina as a baby and raised Serfina as her own.]]

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Sandra uses ''cards'' - the same little notecards she likes to leave to announce her thefts. Specifically, she's learned to throw them so precisely that she can scratch a Jumi's core badly enough to incapacitate them without killing them.

* LoveMakesYouEvil: She turned against the Jumi and hunted them to near extinction because [[spoiler:she didn't want Florina to die and felt like the whole race was knowingly sacrificing her for their own survival.]]

* MeaningfulName: Sharp-eyed people will notice that Sandra is short for [[spoiler:Alexandre.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:We later learn why Sandra is despicable enough to hunt down other Jumi and kill them for their cores, when they refuse to or cannot cry. The Lord of Jewels promised that, in return for the cost of 1000 Jumi, he would revive them without using Florina's life force. It's more than likely he was lying, but Sandra was desperate for any other alternative. So, she took the most gruesome path since it was the only one that was open at the time.]]

* AndIMustScream: Played with. Alex locked her in Pandora's Box to keep her safe from the Jewel Hunter, and Florina was quite comfortable there at first and even slept through most of it. But then she starts having nightmares so horrible it upsets the Dream Witch, and she can't leave on her own.

* CoolSword: A 1-handed sword user, he carries "the Sword of Fate," which was given to him by Blackpearl and has the power to cut through anything, but only once. None of this backstory on the sword winds up being relevant to the plot in the slightest. Should the player character elect to [[spoiler:take Pearl instead of Elazul to the Bejeweled City during the events of Teardrop Crystal, Elazul will bequeath the sword to them. It's more impressive for the implied sentiment than for the sword's actual (mediocre) stats, unfortunately]]. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the ''Teardrop Crystal'' anime where its power is used to defet a Jewel Beast in one strike.

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:She has her core taken by Sandra (and Serafina in the anime) if she is not the chosen companion taken to the Bejeweled City during the events of Teardrop Crystal.]]

* FauxActionGirl: Despite being a Jumi Knight, she is killed off-screen by an unnamed Jumi hunter while protecting Sappho. Although this is justified as supplementary material mentions that she was originally a Guardian who forced herself to assume the role of Knight to protect Sappho who couldn't fight.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It seems that he still holds some affection for his wife Thesenis based on the events of the Siren Arc in VideoGame/EchoesOfMan as he allows her to trespass in his domain without much fuss.

* ImmortalitySeeker: In life he sought immortality, going as far as to attack the dragons for their Mana Stones in this pursuit. Apparently his ambition impressed Jajara so much that Jajara granted his wish for immortality by turning him into an undead and into a dragoon. Based on events of the Siren Arc in VideoGame/EchoesOfMana, [[WhoWantsToLiveForever Deathbringer regrets this now and actively seeks a way to end his immortal undead existence]].
