* PlotTriggeringDeath: Her execution by the Sacred Office for being a witch is what kicked off the main plot; her daughter Poeme turned against the Sacred Office and became the new leader of the witches, while her other daughter Amelia blamed the witches for her death and became one of the leaders of the Church's FinalSolution against them.



* TokenHeroicOrc: Among the known members of the witch faction, she's the only named member who made any attempt at working within the Sacred Office's twisted system to allow other witches their freedom, displaying at least a degree of understanding regarding how the two factions' constant clashes weren't going anywhere. Unfortunately, this caused problems for her nation as a whole when her witchcraft was discovered, and led to her younger daughter's turn to evil.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: The Church portrays her as evil, but since the Church is quite bigoted, it is hard to say how much truth there is to this claim. Given the character dossiers, it isn't mentioned anywhere except [[BigBad Princess Poeme's file]] and by Princess Amelia that the ''current'' ritual will turn '''everything''' into nature, whereas the files for the Archwitch and the first rituals are far more ambiguous. It also isn't known how much her original rituals ran on BloodMagic as opposed to the literal river of blood and the HumanSacrifice used in the current rituals.

* PsychoKnifeNut: She is one of the leaders of TheTheocracy with a genocidal hatred of witches and uses a knife to kill Sister Anna Fran and tries to kill Sister Semilla when they want to make peace with the witches.



* VillainousPrincess: Though not considered as such given the culture of Ranillia and its status as a holy kingdom whose monarch is sanctified by the Sacred Office, Princess Amelia ''does'' become a problem in the 'good' ending, where she refuses to budge on any matter regarding showing the witches mercy.

* DrivenToVillainy: Their extreme actions, such as their mass-murder of Church soldiers, are a response to the Church trying to kill them all.
* HeelFaceTurn: In the good end, [[spoiler:all the surviving witches, who presumably helped kill many Church soldiers and innocents, agree to a truce with the Church, ending the war.]]
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: They are ultimately trying to defend themselves against the FinalSolution carried out by the Church, but are willing to kill even innocent nuns and ultimately plan on [[spoiler:carrying out a ritual that will kill every non-witch]].



* KarmaHoudini: In both ends, they receive no comeuppance for perpetrating the genocide of the witches and turning the Soliette sisters against each other. In the bad end, they continue their genocide after Poeme is killed, while in the good end they end up brokering a peace deal with the witches, with no indication of actual consequences.

* AlasPoorVillain: Despite fully supporting and aiding the Church in their FinalSolution against the witches, her defeat is depicted somberly with SadBattleMusic, her [[IWantMyMommy calling out for her dear mother]], and Camphor sympathizing with her when she needs to flee.



* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Despite having a genocidal hatred of witches, it is indicated by her anger towards Poeme bringing up their mother (executed for being a witch) and her [[IWantMyMommy calling out for her when defeated]] that she dearly loves her mother, and [[LoveMakesYouEvil blames the witches]] instead of the church for her death.



* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Ultimately her major character flaw. Princess Amelia is hardly a ''bad person,'' but she's been raised as the Princess of a nation whose monarchy is given credence and legitimization by the Sacred Office, and thus sees them as the ultimate authority on what is good in the world. Their predisposition towards slaughtering people on the slightest hint of being a witch and their insistence witches cannot be negotiated with is thus the exact same thing ''Amelia'' peddles, and it's why she comes to blows with Sisters Semilla and Anna Fran in the good ending, when the latter two come to the conclusion it may be in everyone's best interests to reach compromise. Unfortunately, [[KillTheCutie she can prove she practices what she preaches]] in the 'good' ending.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She wants to create a world where witches can live in peace without persecution, but is willing to kill even innocent nuns of the Church to do so. The issue with this is that, unfortunately, the rituals required to give witches a place to call home require myriad blood sacrifices, and will, if left unchecked, 'return everything to nature' in the most literal, horrific manner possible. The danger she represents makes any attempt at diplomacy impossible until she's dealt with and the ritual is stopped - ironically, a means of brokering peace and giving witches their place in the sun only comes to pass ''after'' Poeme is dispatched.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Sister Anna Fran finally snaps in Mercy Cellar, Sister Anna Fran breaks her vow of silence (she may only speak to explain mission-critical information and to respond to questions from others) to give Sister Anna Fran a ''much'' needed pep talk, which helps Sister Anna Fran compose herself again.

* RageBreakingPoint: She understandably crosses the threshold in response to the 'good' ending, where Sister Anna Fran tries to talk Princess Amerlia down from finishing off her sister before an agreement between the two factions can be reached. After all her torture, after the betrayal of her sister, after being cursed to slowly become a tree, and after witnessing all the blood rituals the witches have propagated under her sister's guidance, the two nuns having the audacity to ''defy'' her and prevent her from ending the threat of her sister immediately causes her to finally '''snap.'''

* AmbiguousSituation: Just how much does she know about the Church's unsavory acts? Evidence points to 'not much,' given she'd have no reason to hide Mercy Cellar from the Sisters and would in fact benefit from knowing about it as an alternate means of getting outside and away from St. Hildreth's Cathedral, which was enemy territory at that point, but it's not entirely clear if she's truly clueless about the Church's worst offenses. She'd at least need to know about their propensity for burning witches, but in the setting she's in that's considered a justified action against evil, even if it clashes with modern sensibilities. How evil Princess Amelia is almost entirely hinges on this question, as her actions against the witches and her sister are ''much'' more justified if she's simply acting in defiance towards a blatant hostile takeover of her kingdom.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Sister Devoir is a turncoat nun from the Sacred Office - the 'Sister' in her name serving as a means to draw attention to her origins. She still has the sword she used while in the Sacred Office, and her magic isn't the natural sort of power the witches use. When fought as a boss, her combat style is ''very'' similar to how Sister Semilla fights, which makes sense, as they were both part of elite units of the Sacred Office's orders.



** Sister Devoir criticizes the Sacred Office for its needless cruelty; just outside St. Hildreth's Cathedral are ''hundreds'' of commoner and knight corpses, many of which are literally burning at stakes, and within the walls of St. Hildreth's Cathedral are dozens of nuns killed in very obviously painful ways, including one nun who is ''hung from a wall so that her blood can drip on her comrades.

Added DiffLines:

* MagicKnight: As a boss, she actually fights a lot like Sister Semilla, juxtaposing a strong focus on melee combos with two potent spells. Much of what she can do casually acts as a variant to Sister Semilla's full potential once she gets more incense.
* MirrorBoss: It's not one-to-one, but Sister Devoir's fighting style is very similar to how Sister Semilla fights, including a combo, a jump attack, a quick escape option, and some simple magical powers.

* FatalFlaw: Her almost comical levels of [[HolierThanThou self-righteousness.]] She raises many good points about how the Sacred Office is a faulty system that is needlessly cruel, but her desire to massacre anyone related to the Sacred Office as a means to wash away its 'filth' not only serves to mark her as a {{Hypocrite}}, it also leads to her death at Sister Semilla's hands. Sister Semilla was trying to get intel out of Sister Devoir, and Devoir knew Semilla had made it past Lisette because Devoir saw the nun coming; the logical option would have been to simply retreat or hide, but Devoir couldn't control her need to clean out any and every nun in her path.

** Sister Devoir calls out Sister Anna Fran for not thinking for herself. Not only is Sister Anna Fran one of the few people in the Sacred Office who ''is'' thinking for herself and already hates her job in the Sacred Office, but it's particularly rich coming from Sister Devoir, who only ever parrots common talking points from the witches and is fanatically loyal to the witches' cause.
