History Characters / Lufia

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Poor guy has the worst name inconsistency problem in the franchise: He's called "Artea" in ''Lufia I'' and ''II'', "Arty" in the menu screen of ''Lufia II'', and "Artia" in the epilogue of ''The Legend Returns'', said by Milka before going to Estoland.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Doesn't appear in person anywhere else aside from ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and its remake. He's only ever given a brief mention by Iris/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Iria]] in ''The Legend Returns''.

* DubNameChange: From Arekdias to just Arek... not that this translation is [[SpellMyNameWithAnS consistent]], however (see below).

* ResetButton: [[spoiler: In the GoldenEnding of the DS remake, he's able to change the timeline by using the Dual Blade's ability to control time so that Selan and Maxim return home safely from Doom Island.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: An unused location name in ''Lufia II'' calls him "Arek Daos", and he's referred to as "Alekdias" in ''The Legend Returns'', courtesy of the aforementioned Iris/Iria.

* OneSteveLimit: There's an OptionalBoss in ''The Legend Returns'' who also bears the name Iris, or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Iria]], according to the [[BlindIdiotTranslation English translation]]. Both are seemingly unrelated to each other.

* SuperBoss: It's usually fought at the end of the optional Ancient Cave (with the exception of ''The Legend Returns'', where it's fought halfway through its 200 floor incarnation, with Iris/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Iria]] taking its place as the last Ancient Cave opponent). The challenge it presents is rather unique: Outside of the aforementioned exception, it never attacks. It always opens its fights with a party-wide full heal, with the challenge being to attempt to deplete its gargantuan HP as quickly as possible before it forcefully ends the battle.

* SequelHook: Should you defeat her, she says that you might be strong enough to defeat [[SpellMyNameWithAnS "Alekdias"]] (Arek the Absolute), setting up for a potential sequel with him taking center stage, something that [[AbortedArc never happened]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In ''The Legend Returns'', her name is spelled "Iria" in battle.

* ArcherArchetype: As part of fulfilling Artea's role in the foursome.

* ArcherArchetype: Literally in the SNES version, but keeps the personality traits in every version.

* DropTheHammer: Wields a massive one in the DS remake.

* DropTheHammer: His field skill.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Doesn't appear in person anywhere else aside from ''Rise of the Sinistrals'' and its remake. He's only ever given a brief mention by BonusBoss Iris/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Iria]] in ''The Legend Returns''.

* OneSteveLimit: There's a BonusBoss in ''The Legend Returns'' who also bears the name Iris, or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Iria]], according to the [[BlindIdiotTranslation English translation]]. Both are seemingly unrelated to each other.

* BoobsOfSteel: One of the strongest characters in the game. She's noticeably bustier than every other female party member.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: In ''Rise of the Sinistrals''.

* PeekABangs: Her sprite in the game is this [[spoiler:and also as Erim]]

An elf girl NPC from the village Eserikto. Steals Lexus's blueprint for Ecerlion befause his factory pollutes the nature. Becomes playable in the third game, possessing Green Spiritual Force.

* StayInTheKitchen: Has a shed of it, though not as bad as Maxim. He tried to leave for adventuring without telling Lufia so she wouldn't be in harm.

%%* DarkChick

* BladeOnAStick: They're only usable by Deckard.

* BladeOnAStick: In the first two games, though his attacks mostly consist of magic.

* WhipItGood: His field ability functions similarly to the grappling hook in ''Rise of Sinistrals'', only a bit more limited. It can only grapple onto small wooden polls, and lacks the ability to stun enemies with its tip.

%%* BareYourMidriff

* TheChick: Somewhat. More noticeable once Tia leaves.

** Their "evolution" stages take the form of mostly completely different beings. Take Sully the earth monster, for example: It goes from a radish to a mini knight, then to a giant [[EenieMeenieMinyMoai face statue]], and its master form is a centaur.

* WasOnceAMan: Or hobbit, rather.

* AnAxeToGrind: His battle sprite in the SNES version of the game depict him holding an axe, though he's not always equipped with one. He can do this in the remake, by being able to equip nearly any weapon, including Guy's axes.

* AnAxeToGrind: His battle sprite depicts him with an axe in hand, just like in ''Lufia II''.

%%%* ShesGotLegs:

%%* IllGirl

* SimpleStaff: Her battle sprite has her holding one as one of her [[WeaponOfChoice weapons of choice]]. Strangely enough, she can't equip Zircon Staff, the strongest staff equipment in the game.

* BareFistedMonk: She comes equipped with only her fists, although she can also equip [[SimpleStaff staves]].

%%* NiceHat: Berty in DS game.

* SequelNonEntity: ''The Ruins of Lore'' is notably the only ''Lufia'' game to not feature him at all, which is especially weird considering the fact that it not only takes place roughly 25 years after ''Lufia II'', but also because the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Egg Ring]] is still in the game despite his absence (where it's instead obtained via defeating the Ancient Cave's SuperBoss or crafting with the Alchemy system).
