* UpperClassTwit: PlayedWith. He cultivates an image of an eccentric but nonthreatening aristocrat: an impeccably dressed, adventurous book author prone to dramatics who constantly gets into minor scrapes through his silly behavior. However, he's also a Kimberly alumnus powerful enough to freeze a whole army with a single spell, and it's unclear whether his silliness is genuine or ObfuscatingStupidity, or both.

* TheDreaded: She is by far the single most-feared character in the series, able to ride herd on mages twice her age or more, and being summoned to her office is serious business for students: Oliver is scared stiff when it happens to him and Pete in volume 6 even though she says up front that they're not under suspicion in Forghieri's death ([[VaryingCompetencyAlibi because it ought to be physically impossible for a second-year]]). Theodore is brave enough to needle her, but only the resident FearlessFool Nanao is completely unwary of her.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He's superficially similar to [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Gilderoy Lockhart]], as a [[UpperClassTwit foppish and rather silly]] world traveler and book author who sometimes fills in for other teachers, particularly Alchemy after Darius goes missing. However, he's actually ''competent'', and is subtly indicated to be [[BitchInSheepsClothing a far more threatening character than the eccentric facade he puts up]]: besides his maltreatment of his illlegitimate daughter Stacy, he's got Chela's entire life basically pre-planned for her including {{Arranged Marriage}}s to further the family bloodline, and she's starting to resent it and has also become suspicious of his intentions towards Nanao.
