History Characters / MapleStoryNPC

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons

* DePowered: [[spoiler:They're the player from an alternate timeline, meaning that at the peak of their power they are anything from a very strong human, a legendary hero or hero's reincarnation, a reformed demon commander, or even a ''Transcendant''. However, their encounter with Arma drained their ability to use Arcane Symbols, and their defeat by the Black Mage and journey to the past seems to have weakened them even further, to the point where the Vanishing Journey [=NPCs=] comment on how weak they are.]]

* MeaningfulName: "Kao" is Japanese for "face", and they're apparently identical to you.

[[folder: Town [=NPCs=] ]]

* HairDecorations: Has two golden-colored hair clips in her female sprite.

* DudeMagney: Suffice to say, Resistance soldiers often hit on her even when the Alliance airship is under attack.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Belle, which seemed to evolve into them being a BattleCouple as young members of the Resistance. [[spoiler: In Black Heaven, it's the only thing he can think of when they both assume they're about to be killed.]]

* HelloNurse: Suffice to say, Resistance soldiers often hit on her even when the Alliance airship is under attack.

!!Alice/Alicia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maplestory_alice.png]]

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.

* EyesAlwaysShut: In-game, she is always seen with her eyes closed. The Webtoon promoting the release of Zero averts this, though, and shows her [[OutOfCharacterMoment opening her eyes and smiling at the Black Mage]] moments before his curse transforms her into a HumanPopsicle completely. The game makes several references to Arkarium blinding her in the past. This could be why.

* TheStraightAndArrowPath: [[CaptainObvious Well, duh.]]

* LoveableSexManiac: Very much attracted to Tear and attempts to dress her up like a doll at any opportunity.

* Jerkass: He insults the player character at every opportunity, bosses them around and seem to have quite the inflated ego considering just how much he likes to make it known that he's a high-ranking member of the Silent Crusade.

!!Neinheart (Nineheart in MSEA)

* [[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]]. They had a falling out over Lilin's quest to find the hero Aran. Neinheart did not beleive in the heroes and saught to trace the Empress' bloodline to raise a successor as the path to Maple World's salvation.

* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Cygnus' side when she awakens her powers, as she as not supposed to do that and doing so may put her life in danger.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Even when awake; one exception is [[spoiler: the Gate to the Future scenario, where his eyes are open and ''evil''-looking.]]

* GentleGiant: Despite being a dragon, he's a kind, friendly creature who protects Cygnus.

* DubNameChange: Known as Helena in the Korean version

The Pirate job instructor and captain of the Nautilus. Kyrin was taken in by Athena Pierce as a child, only to run away after learning that it was the Black Mage who was responsible for their death. Eventually, several decades later she returned to Victoria Island with her pirate crew. Kyrin's primary goal was to warn everyone of the Black Mage's return, but she also wished to increase her ranks with new followers and to gain further wealth in the process.

Kyrin was the one who found Jett after his/her crash landing to Maple World, forcing Jett into joining her crew.

* AllThereInTheManual: The issue between her and the Dark Lord is rarely alluded to beyond the official backstory.

* NowWhat: [[spoiler: Oddly enough, she never makes plans on what to do should the Black Wings ever be overthrown, and has no idea what to do at the end of ''Black Heaven''; she suggests possibly dating, but it's not know with who, if anyone.]]

* InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: In the Demon's level 140 quest, after she changes back into her original form, Mastema begins to confess how she has had a crush on the Demon since they met. Unfortunately she changes back into her cat form which causes her to swiftly change the subject.

* ThePromise: In Demon's cutscene the night before he is supposed to attack Black Heaven with the Alliance, Mastema asks Demon to be careful and promise that he'll come back as she will wait for him. Given that in the Black Heaven arc there was a real chance of the player character dying [[spoiler: and actually would have so if not for Shinsoo's Tear]] its quite touching.

[[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maplestory_claudine.png]]

* BigGood: For the Nova, as the one pushing to reclaim their rightful home.
* CoolOldLady

* SheIsAllGrownUp: As of the BLACK update, she's noticeably grown since her debut and matured to show it, up to and including reading the final charge against the Black Mage on her own. It's at least implied she advanced in physical age suddenly upon her powers awakening to full.

* BlackSheep: He's one of the few job instructors to have no part in the Alliance; he's not in the conference room and seems to have little interaction with them.

* AChildShallLeadThem: At least in the beginning, as seen in the Grand Athenaeum theme dungeon. If you look at her current official art, she looks at least somewhat older.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: As of the BLACK update, she's noticeably grown since her debut and matured to show it, up to and including reading the final charge against the Black Mage on her own.
