One of the participants in the royal selection to become king of Lugunica. A somewhat dense, but hard-working woman, who tends to prefer masculine attire. If she is chosen as the new king of Lugunica, she vows her first act will be to free Lugunica from the dragon's covenant.
----
* ActionGirl: Crusch is a skilled swordswoman, and powerful user of wind magic.
* BeYourself: Advises a crestfallen Subaru to stand tall and be true to himself even if others will oppose him.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She generally tends to dress as a man, giving her a somewhat androgynous look.
* BlowYouAway: Her blessing, "Wind Indication" allows her to see things that aren't normally visible and read the emotion of others, making it difficult to lie to her. It also grants her the ability to not only use Wind Magic, but to combine it with her swordplay.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Among the candidates of the royal selection, she's the one with the lowest voice, reflecting her status as a brave and skilled ActionGirl.
* FrontlineGeneral: When in battle, she not only issues commands to her soldiers, she's just as often right in the thick of the action.
* GirlinessUpgrade: A dark example. The headstrong and bold {{Bifauxnen}} Crusch becomes soft-spoken and ladylike after Ley Batenkaitos eats her memories.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She often wields her family's treasured word the Lion Rampart in battle.
* HonorBeforeReason: While she is very pragmatic, she will not take credit for the actions of others, among other things [[spoiler: crediting Subaru and Wilhelm as the most important individuals in the slaying of the White Whale.]]
* IdentityAmnesia: Crusch's memories are eaten by the Archbishop of Gluttony while Subaru and co. are battling against Petelgeuse. As a result, Crusch forgets everything about herself and the people she knows.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: While she sees Emilia as competition, Crusch insists she does not want their rivalry to turn ugly.
* LivingLieDetector: Thanks to her Blessing allowing her to read the emotions of others.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine Girl to Felix's Feminine Boy. Crusch tends to wear masculine clothes and has a very serious, strong-willed personality. On the other hand, Felix is playful and likes wearing cute dresses.
* ObliviousToLove: In her sidestory, she never notices Fourier's feelings for years until the very last chapter of book where he dies.
* PingPongNaivete: She's said to be a skilled negotiator and there isn't anyone who can fool her. Yet when Felix jokes that the ceremony to announce the fifth candidate was a drinking party, Crusch completely believes him. Justified as she is a LivingLieDetector and assumes that no one can trick her with words.
* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: After his courage and cunning helped her and her army defeat the White Whale, Crusch warmly tells Subaru that in that even in the more-than-likely case they become enemies due to politics, she will always love and respect him as a friend. To that Subaru muses that had he not loved Emilia and Rem already, he would have fallen for Crusch on the spot, to which she chuckles that had not the dreams of conquest occupied the throne of ''her'' heart, she would have fallen for him too.
* PragmaticHero: Crusch is a great leader and brave hero, but she seldom helps anyone if it does not benefit her in some form, and double if it actually inconveniences her.
* RousingSpeech: Her great charisma allows her to rally her soldiers, giving courage even when situations seem bleak. She gives one before the battle against [[spoiler:the White Whale]], and another during its climax.
* SheCleansUpNicely: She looks ''great'' in a dress. Subaru barely recognizes her.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Even with the threat of an entire village being wiped out, Crusch declines to aid Subaru because there's nothing in it for her.
* TheStoic: Displays very little emotion to the point where even her smiles are subdued.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: When dealing with political matters, she's formal, professional, cool-headed and quick to show her audience the door if they have no offer that will benefit her. She does show a softer and friendly side to the people she trusts or when she's not trying to get something from you in a negotiation.
* SwordBeam: Her "Hyakunin Hitotachi" [[note]]Lit: Hundred Man Sword Strike[[/note]]
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's an assertive young woman who prefers masculine clothing, but she doesn't mind putting on a dress every once in a while.
* TomboyishVoice: She has a low voice that matches perfectly with her {{Bifauxnen}} nature. After she loses her memories, Creator/YukaIguchi changes to a gentle voice for Crusch.
* WineIsClassy: Is seen enjoying evening liquor from a wine glass no less.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Subaru manages to sum him up in one question before anyone could even realize the meaning.
--> '''Subaru:''' You probably think your wife is the prettiest girl in the world. Isn't that what you thought when you proposed to her?
* BadassNormal: In a world full of people who use magic to boost their fighting capabilities, are able to borrow the power of spirits, or have received TheGift in some form, Wilhelm brings nothing to the table except his skills with a sword.

* BestHerToBedHer: He married Theresia after he was able to defeat her in a duel.

* DeclarationOfProtection: He declared to Theresia that his reason to wield his sword was to protect her.
* DoomedHometown: His hometown was sacked during the civil war by demi-human force in revenge for their comrades and killing one of their leaders.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted, but discussed as Wilhelm had to train long and hard to become a renowned swordsman whereas his wife's talent allowed her to reach the rank with presumably less effort.
* LightningBruiser: Despite his age, Wilhelm is still lightning fast, physically powerful, and has survived attacks and ''explosions'' that could easily kill a lesser warrior.
* MasterSwordsman: Is known to be one of the best swordsmen in Lugunica.
* MentorArchetype: To Subaru, teaching him about swordplay and hard work.
* TheMourningAfter: He still loves his wife deeply despite her passing. [[spoiler:Avenging her is his motivation to kill the White Whale.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: His wife's death [[spoiler: at the hands of the White Whale]].
* OldSoldier: He is old, by human standards, yet still picks up a sword and has skill and experience to back it up.
* RedBaron: Wilhelm is titled the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Sword Demon]].
* TheResenter:
** When he was younger, Wilhelm dedicated his life to learning the art of the sword. He became irritated when he learned that Theresia not only easily surpassed him in skill but resented her talent as she hated bloodshed.
** In the present time, he resents [[spoiler:his grandson Reinhard because his wife's power as the Sword Saint was passed over to him at the worst of timings. Wilhelm's relationship with Reinhard is strained, to say the least.]]
* RetiredBadass: He might be old enough to retire, but he can still kick a lot of ass.
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:He considers killing the White Whale as his greatest goal in life, wanting revenge for it killing his wife. He achieves it.]]
* SwallowedWhole: Gets swallowed by [[spoiler:the White Whale]] in the first battle against it. Then he [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth claws his way out]] like a badass.
* TookTheWifesName: He took on his wife Theresia's last name when they got married because she was from a noble house. He kept the name after her death, showing how much he came to love her despite his contempt and jealousy of the Astrea name for their renown swordsmanship. After [[spoiler:he kills the White Whale to avenge Theresia]], he takes up his old last name, Trias.
* TheVonTropeFamily: His last name is van Astrea after he marries into a family of famous swordsmen.
