History Characters / NoliMeTangere

* LoveMartyr: Loves her husband Pedro despite him being a drunk gambler who spends his time betting and generally not giving a damn about his family. She tries to justify it by saying she does it to keep the family from falling apart. [[Main.CaptainObvious It doesn't work.]]

* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler: Survives being shot several times, swims down a river and goes three days without food or water. Need we say more?]]

* RatedMForManly: The guy is a total {{Badass}} [[spoiler: and went out in a DyingMomentOfAwesome]]. Rizal even takes the time to describe his features as manly.

!!Maria Clara

!!Kapitan Tiago

The good captain, Don Rafael's good friend, and Ibarra's future father-in-law [[spoiler: or was supposed to be]]. His kind heart is overridden by the fact that he's too weak-willed to fight back against the Spanish, whom he is [[Main.UndyingLoyalty loyal to]].

* TheCaptain: It's in the name.

Padre Damaso's successor as the parish priest of San Diego, Ibarra's hometown. Unlike the loud and boisterous Damaso, Salvi is quiet and sickly... but that doesn't mean [[Main.CorruptChurch he's any better than the former.]] Padre Salvi is often the one who makes decisions for the town of San Diego, something which irks actual town officials. He is bitter enemies with the [[Main.DaChief Alferez]][[labelnote:*]] the Lieutenant Commander of the Civil Guard [[labelnote]] though they pretend as though they were not in public. [[spoiler: He is implied to be the one who killed Crispin. Oh, and he also [[Main.DirtyOldMan has his eyes on Maria Clara]].]]

* DirtyOldMan: [[spoiler: Lusts after Maria Clara. [[Main/GenerationXerox Like his predecessor Father Damaso.]]]]

* TheIdealist

* RebelLeader: [[spoiler: Is falsely implicated as the instigator and main brains behind the uprising stirred by Lucas and Fray Salvi.]]

!!Fray Damaso

!!Fray Salvi

Padre Damaso's successor as the parish priest of San Diego, Ibarra's hometown. Unlike the loud and rough Damaso, Salvi is quiet and sickly... but that doesn't mean [[Main.CorruptChurch he's any better than the former.]] Padre Salvi is often the one who makes decisions for the town of San Diego, something which irks actual town officials. He is bitter enemies with the [[Main.DaChief alferez]] though they pretend as though they were not in public. [[spoiler: He is implied to be the one who killed Crispin. Oh, and he also [[Main.DirtyOldMan has his eyes on Maria Clara]].]]

* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter

* PetTheDog: His only redeeming quality is his genuine fatherly love and fondness towards his godchild Maria Clara. [[spoiler: [[JustifiedTrope}} Justified]], she's his biological daughter.]]

A relative of Damaso's and supposed cousin of Don Tiburcio who came to the Philippines to find a wife and a job. [[spoiler: Is betrothed to Maria Clara after he's excommunicated by the Church.]]

* PetTheDog: His only redeeming quality is his genuine fatherly love and fondness towards his godchild Maria Clara. [[spoiler: {{JustifiedTrope}} Justified, she's his biological daughter.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Ever since his grandfather was implicated by a Spanish noble for arson, his entire family has been treated as outcasts: his grandfather and younger sister even [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide]].

* [[spoiler: SacrificialLamb: His death marks the fact that Rizal is basically saying, ''AnyoneCanDie''.]]

* RebelLeader: [[Is implicated as the instigator and main brains behind the uprising stirred by Lucas and Fray Salvi.]]

TheHero of Noli Me Tangere [[spoiler: and El Filibusterismo.]] He is a ''mestizo'' (Filipino with mixed foreign blood, in this case Spanish) who studied abroad in Europe for the past seven years and returns to the Philippines to visit his late father's funeral. A certified WideEyedIdealist... until secrets are revealed and things promptly [[Main.FromBadToWorse go to hell.]]

!!Padre Damaso

* FatAndSkinny: The FatBastard to padre Salvi's LeanAndMean.

!!Padre Salvi

* AuthorAvatar
* {{Badass}}
* ChekhovsGunman

* TheLancer
* RatedMForManly: The guy is a total {{Badass}} [[spoiler: and went out in a DyingMomentOfAwesome]].

A rude Spanish friar who was also a family friend of the Ibarra family. Key word being ''was'', since Damaso definitely hated the guts of the Ibarra patriarch, Don Rafael Ibarra -- Crisostomo Ibarra's father, and was not afraid to hide it. This hatred extends to Crisostomo, whom Damaso despises for studying abroad and thus being [[Main.HeKnowsTooMuch enlightened enough to understand the Spanish oppression.]] Padre Damaso bears a grudge against Filipinos (who they called ''indios'' during those times) and was once the parish priest in Ibarra's hometown, before he reassigned to another town by the Governor General because of [[Main.LastDisrespects something Damaso did]].
