History Characters / MapleStoryNPC

* InformedAbility: She's supposedly a thief instructor, but rarely ever makes use of such skills, only doing so once during ''Black Heaven''.

[[folder: Others]]
!!Alice/Alicia

The human form of the World Tree, the Transcendence of Life of the Maple World. After a battle with the Black Mage, she retreated to the Root Abyss, where she rested for years in order to regain her power. However, Damien sealed her inside Root Abyss and set up four guardians to maintain the seal and keep her from escaping. After the player defeats the guardians and frees Alice, she agrees to be placed under the care of Cygnus and Shinsoo.

* AliceAllusion: Blonde girl, wears a dress, is first encountered underneath a large tree trunk after the player fell down a hole and is the Transcendence of Life (in contrast to the massive amounts of BlackComedy in [[Literature/AliceInWonderland the source]]). Not to mention the Root Abyss is supposed to be a twisted and darker version of Alice In Wonderland.
* DumbIsGood: A firm believer of this in the Global release, but not so in the original KMS story.
* ExpositionFairy: Alicia is this during the Tower of Oz, and unfortunately, she quickly becomes the type you want to tell to [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper Stop Helping Me]] However, most of the instructions she gives are necessary, so the only choice is to listen.
* GodInHumanForm: [[spoiler:Sugar, a strange girl that Explorer characters meet, is her embodiment, although that is not discovered until her potential to heal Maple Island is awakened.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Zigzagged. Her body and [[spoiler:Sugar]] are very nice, the former being emotionally vulnerable and polite. Her soul, on the other hand, is a rude and condescending JerkassGod.
* IdiotHero: The point of the Tower of Oz dungeon she made. She thinks that learning and knowledge is the source of corruption and evil, resulting in the tower being unable to be accessed by anyone who isn't mentally retarded. Apparently she even makes stupid pills.
** Note that this is only in the Global version. The original Korean version, the Tower of Oz was a dream world, and you took special sleeping pills in order to enter it.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Her body and soul are separate, and both have different personalities. Her soul (who resides in the Tower of Oz) is rude, condescending, and egotistical (and doesn't like her body much at all) while her body (who resides in the Root Abyss) is more polite, with an almost childlike innocence (though rather naïve). [[spoiler:Sugar]] is like the latter, but with more confidence.
* PhysicalGod: Is a Transcendence, one of three beings created by the gods who created Maple World to represent the aspects of Light, Time, and Life individually. Alice is the Transcendence of Life.
* RapunzelHair
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Looks like a girl, but has been around for centuries.

!!Kao

An enigmatic character mentioned across the Explorers and Ellin Forest questline. From what is said about them, they have an uncanny resemblance to the player. [[spoiler:It's because they ''are'' the player character, having lost their memory in an offshoot timeline and spit out of the Arcane River. They're first encountered at the Temple of Time as the Amnesiac Temple Monk.]]

* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: Claudine, Brighton, and Checky are villains in MapleStory2. [[FridgeLogic Despite the game taking place hundreds of years in the past]]. They're a group of anti-magic resistance fighters despite [[{{Hypocrite}} Brighton being a Battle Mage]].

* GenreSavvy: Shown to be this in the Grand Athenaeum questline. Knowing that his mercenary friend (you) is a softie at heart, he makes the mercenary attempt to decline right in front of a young Cygnus, making it impossible for you to do so in front of the adorable, kind-hearted girl.

* [[LongLostRelative Long-Lost Brother]]: To Lilin. This is rarely mentioned, and if it is, it's usually by either one of them as a passing comment. Beyond that, the only things they clearly have in common are [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]] and [[TheStoic extreme stolidness]].

* HairofGoldHeartofGold: She has long blonde hair and is (off-screen) fighting for the good of Maple World.

!!!Tropes associated with Starling

** Though it could be argued that he's a JerkWithAGoldHeart as he did save the player character from an explosion (though rubs it in their face later on) and is still a part of the good guys at the end of the day.

----

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a jerk to everyone except the Empress. That said, he'll give credit where it's due and is not above giving glowing praise when he feels appropriate. The problem is, getting the latter outcome out of his so difficult that anything remotely resembling the sort leaves everyone (except Cygnus) shocked.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Her Twilight Perion counterpart claims to be this, promising the citizens that the excessive toil they force upon them will pay off in the long run.]]

The leaders and Instructors for Resistance characters, based in a secret compound in Edelstein

* BadassInDistress: With the exception of the Demon, the Fourth Job Advancement quest involves the player having to rescue his mentor, who was caught trying to sabotage Gelimer's new weapon. (And then finish doing that himself.)
* DarkIsNotEvil: Much like their students, they're pretty grim due to the DarkerAndEdgier nature of their storyline
* KnightInSourArmor: Again, the darker tone requires it.
* PaperThinDisguise: The "disguises" they use to conceal themselves from the Blackwings barely hides their identities at all. Fortunately, most of the villains are too dumb to put two and two together.
