None


* MightyGlacier: His Persona's role is to take hits for others, but is notably slow to react so is in danger of being nothing but a giant target of it finds itself without support.
* NiceGuy: Is quite earnest, so much so Kallen can't find it in her to hold his BigEater tendency against him, even if it reminds her how so many Japanese are starving in ghettos.

!The Glinda Knights
[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In canon, the Glinda Knights were an anti-terror task force founded by Princess Marrybell mel Britannia in ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection''. Here, that's just their (unnamed) day job; in truth, they're another vigilante group that makes otherwise untouchable criminals confess their crimes with their own mouths.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:This story's Glinda Knights have the same leader and the same members as their canonical namesake, but here they're an outlaw group that triggers changes of heart rather than a military organization (though that last part is their official cover).]]
* CassandraTruth: {{Discussed|Trope}}. The Glinda Knights don't go public with their findings about [[spoiler:the AncientConspiracy at the heart of the Empire]] because they know no one would ever believe them.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: They show up during the fifth Palace BossFight right after Lelouch and co. claim the Treasure.
* ChekhovsGunman:
** [[spoiler:Princess Marrybell mel Britannia]] is mentioned early on in Chapter 17 by Lelouch when [[spoiler:telling Leila about the few relatives that bothered to see him and Nunnally off when they were exiled to Japan in all but name.]]
** The above and [[spoiler:her Knight Oldrin Zevon]] make a brief appearance in Chapter 22 by [[spoiler:basically playing dress-up at Leila's expense]]. They finally make a plot-relevant appearance -- if unnamed at the time -- in Chapter 56 at the MasqueradeBall and their identities are fully confirmed in Chapter 59.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: As of Chapter 49, the Glinda Knights have changed the hearts of Princess Carine ne Britannia and Knight of Ten Luciano Bradley in the Homeland, but this is only mentioned in InUniverse news reports and all the internet noise about whether they're more prolific than the Black Knights despite not being active for as long as the latter. [[spoiler:Their story intersects with the main one as of the High Eunuch's Palace.]]
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Most of its members started off as loyal Britannian soldiers, but after seeing the Empire's real face through the Shadow Selves of their ruling elite, to say nothing of [[spoiler:the Emperor's secret plans]], they have come to accept the need to fight for Britannia's people rather than for Britannia itself.

[[folder:West]]
!!Marrybell mel Britannia/West
->'''Arcana:''' 0. The Fool\\
'''Persona:''' [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Elphaba]]
----
See her entry under [[spoiler:the Faith]] Arcana folder in the [[Characters/LelouchOfTheWingsOfRebellionConfidants Confidants page]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Oz]]
!!Oldrin Zevon/Oz
->'''Arcana:''' VIII. Justice\\
'''Persona:''' [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Dorothy]]
The Ace of the Glinda Knights. The daughter of the Zevon noble family and a childhood friend of Marrybell, she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps by becoming a Knight. Following Mary into the military after her uncle became family head, she joined her in forming the Glinda Knights.
----
* TheAce: Of the Glinda Knights, she's their best Knightmare devicer; though she mentions that her sync rating is still slightly below the Knights of the Round, and freely admits she doesn't hold a candle to Kallen.
* BadassFamily: Her mother was a Knight of the Round.
* BodyguardBabes: She's a Knight of Honor duty-bound to protect her lady, and very attractive.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A {{victorious|ChildhoodFriend}} example, albeit a {{secret|Relationship}} one.
* EmbarrassingSuperpower: She's a badass knight who trained swordsmanship since she could walk, and she's not too happy she got [[PluckyGirl Dorothy]] [[AccidentalHero Gale]] as her Persona, the CountryMouse {{Kid Hero}}ine (and KidAppealCharacter) of the ''Franchise/LandOfOz'' novels.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Kallen. Both are [[TheLancer right-hand women]] (and more) to their team leader, and passionate about protecting the common people of their home country. However, while Kallen has bitterly admitted she would abandon her ideals if it means staying with Lelouch, Oldrin has made it clear that she intends to keep Merrybell from falling off their path, even if it means losing her.
** Perhaps less importantly, there's an amusing parallel between them in that [[spoiler:Oldrin is in a SecretRelationship with Marrybell, whereas Kallen is the only one of Lelouch's girlfriends publicly dating him.]]
* HideYourLesbians: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Unlike in ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'', the story doesn't bother to hide her relationship with Marrybell behind (albeit rather transparent) subtext.
* HonestAdvisor: Quite outspoken with her boss when in private.
* LadyOfWar: A military academy graduate serving as a Royal Princess' Knight of Honor.
* TheLancer: To West.
* TheLastDJ: She genuinely believes in the [[CodeOfHonour Chivalric Code]], in what a Knight is ''supposed'' to do and represent, rather than being another cog in the imperial machine. This at times puts her at odds with her lady who has a tendency for [[TheUnfettered amoral pragmatism]] without a MoralityChain holding her back.
* MoralityChain: To her lady, who much like canon Lelouch has a tendency for utterly ruthless courses of action when devoid a MoralityChain holding them back.
* SecretRelationship: With Marrybell. Kept secret not only because a LadyAndKnight UnequalPairing is a tad questionable, but also because they live in an aristocracy and revealing their relationship would make things difficult for a princess like Marrybell.
* SexySecretary: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Oldrin is officially Marrybell's Knight of Honor, but she doesn't mind doing more menial stuff while bodyguarding her like filling in the score sheets of her lady's chess matches.
* SuccessionCrisis: She's nominally the heiress of the contested leadership of the Zevon family but prefers to live her life as a knight, so she basically left home and let her uncle take over.

[[folder:Scarecrow]]
!!Sokkia Scerpa/Scarecrow
->'''Arcana:''' II. The Priestess\\
'''Persona:''' [[Main/ScaryScarecrow Bootzafrau]]
A former sports star and model, with a flirtatious/perverted streak several miles wide.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Her Persona carries an axe in it's hand. Interestingly it's abilities make it more suited for distant support like Leila's.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When Alice learns she's even wrote a story about Nemo, she's quick to assure it's just an unpublished draft of a more innocent relationship, as writing smut about underage girls is a line even she won't cross. This at least works to mollify Alice.
* HiddenDepths: She's a professional sports racer and model turned soldier, whom the public doesn't know also writes trashy fan fictions in secret. Even when confronted by her lurid tastes by Kallen, she reveals that she also has a practical motivation of spreading purposely false disinformation about the Metaverse and the Persona groups in her works and on the Internet in the hopes that it further misleads official intelligence agencies. [[LovableSexManiac She's a pervert]], but she's a pervert with a brain.
* ICallItVera: She thinks her Persona's name is a mouthful, so prefers to call it 'Boogie'.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She knows a great deal about Japanese culture, but still refers to it as Area 11 and it's people as Elevens which rubs Kallen the wrong way. As that's simply how Britannia colonies are referred in the mainland, she doesn't mean for it to be demeaning, and sincerely apologizes when called on it.
* LeotardOfPower: Her Thief Suit is some combination of Amazonian warrior and wrestling outfit.
* LovableSexManiac: She's just as bad as Milly, if not WORSE since she writes smutty fanfiction of both the Black Knights and Glinda Knights.
* ScaryScarecrows: Subverted. Her Persona may be a scarecrow, but it's noted to appear more attractive than horrifying.
* ShoutOut: To the Scarecrow of Oz.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stannum]]
!!Tink Lockhart/Stannum
->'''Arcana:''' XI. Strength\\
'''Persona:''' [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Talos]]
A former Knightmare test pilot, with more scars than he'll admit to.
----
* BigEater: Kallen observes how he's able to chow down a surprising amount of hamburgers without any trouble.
* TheBigGuy: He's the biggest member of the group, and his Persona is a metal giant.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Thoroughly subverted. His Thief suit looks like a cyborg, but is noted to being a kid friendly design and the man himself is quite friendly and polite. [[spoiler:It also applies to the fact he actually is a cyborg with an artificial arm in the real world.]]
* MeaningfulName: His alias is latin for tin ('Tin Man' was too close to his ''actual'' name).
* MightyGlacier: His Persona's role is to take hits for others, but is notably slow to react so is in danger of being nothing but a giant target of it finds itself without support.
* NiceGuy: Is quite earnest, so much so Kallen can't find it in her to hold his BigEater tendency against him, even if it reminds her how so many Japanese are starving in ghettos.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's only a year older than Kallen, but seems older given his hair color and build.
* ShoutOut: Naturally to the Tin Man. And his cyborg-like Thief suit [[spoiler:also refers to the fact that he is a cyborg.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Arslan]]
!!Leonhardt Steiner/Arslan
->'''Arcana:''' IV. The Emperor\\
'''Persona:''' [[UsefulNotes/RichardTheLionheart Richard]]
The heir of the Steiner Konzern, the primary suppliers of Knightmare Frames after the Ashfords fall from grace. A quiet and unassuming young man.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: The guy is really shy and awkward with his fiancé.
* BlueBlood: He's the heir to a prominent noble family, and his Thief Suit also calls upon his aristocratic status.
* CowardlyLion: As a ShoutOut of the character, he's shy and subdued in the real world, but bold and daring in the Metaverse.
* JackOfAllStats: His Persona is noted to having no weaknesses yet no resistances, and while his stats are respectable, he has no real speciality either.
* MeaningfulName: His alias is the Turkish word for 'lion'.
* OfficerAndAGentleman: His Thief Suit invokes this, albeit in a style more fitting during Washington's Rebellion.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Per canon, he's been engaged to Marika by their families since they were kids. Thankfully, they do love each other.
* SwordAndGun: He wields a sable and flintlock pistol in the Metaverse to go with his colonial officer Thief Suit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Valkyrie]]
!!Marika Soresi/Valkyrie
->'''Arcana:''' XII. The Hanged Man\\
'''Persona:''' [[Literature/{{Dracula}} Mina]]
The newest member of the Glinda Knights and younger sister of the second-in-command of the Purist Faction, who was saved from joining Luciano Bradley's Valkyrie Squadron by the Glinda Knights.
----
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Accidentally offends Kallen by calling the Japanese 'Elevens'. She sincerely apologizes for doing so, noting how it's difficult to work around the inherent prejudices of the Empire.
* LadyOfWar: Much like Euphemia, Marika's Thief Suit is based off the outfit Cornelia wears, but this one in ''Resurrection'', symbolizing how she also looks up to the general.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Luciano had tried to make her join the Valkyrie Squadron. She took her alias as a way of defying his distorted desires.]]
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: She's engaged to Leonhardt, who's four years older than her. She doesn't seem bothered by this, and they seem to get along fairly well.
* VampireHunter: Her Persona, as one of the characters on team Van Hellsing in Literature/{{Dracula}}. Considering her experience with ''Bradley'', this is fitting.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Terry]]
!!Toto Thompson/Terry
->'''Arcana:''' IX. The Hermit\\
'''Persona:''' [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Lethe]]
A maid in service to the Zevon family, who followed her mistress Oz into the military, and then into the Glinda Knights.
----
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Before the operation to attack Britannia's Psionic Research base, she expresses unease at what they will find. Stating there are things people would best not know. Those familiar with her canon story will know why.
* FamilyOfChoice: Outright declares Oldrin and the Glinda Knights to be this.
* MeaningfulName: Aside from her real name being ''Toto,'' her code name not only refers to the actual name of the Cairn Terrier who played the film role, but also that terriers were used to sniff out and locate vermin, much as her Persona serves primarily to locate Shadows.
* {{Meido}}: Her Thief Suit is a combination of spy catsuit and maid outfit... with cute dog ears.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:She was actually an agent of The Director's cult, having been sent to spy on the Zevons and Marrybell. However, she's since changed her loyalties to the group that ''actually'' cares about her.]]
* MythologyGag: Her Persona is the underworld goddess of forgetfulness, reflecting her canon Geass. [[spoiler:And her actual power, it turns out.]]
* TheQuietOne: She's very unassuming, and blends into the background.
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:Her Persona, capable of erasing memories, can partially manifest outside of the Metaverse.]]
