----
!!!Tropes:
* AffablyEvil: No problem killing rivals when ordered to, but he's genuinely a nice guy compared to [[ItsAllAboutMe Roman]]. [[spoiler: He even tries to keep Chloe safe when it's clear that torturing her won't get anything out of Roman, despite what Kincaid wants.]]
* AntiVillain: He’s not really a bad guy (and much more morally sound than Roman).
* CoDragons: With Roman under Kincaid’s employ.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Roman pretty much lampshades this about his decision to rejoin Kincaid.]]
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He is abruptly killed by Kincaid in a fit of rage.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: He works with Kincaid to take down Roman.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: He ends up betraying Roman when he finds out that his rise to power has upset Kincaid.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is appropriately horrified when he realizes that Kincaid is really going to kill Reed’s family. He also is disturbed when Roman considers doing the same for the police commissioner. [[spoiler: He also tries to keep Chloe alive since she was innocent when Kincaid would rather pointlessly kill her.]]
* TheFettered: He'll go to some pretty far lengths considering he is in organized crime, but he still has standards and won't compromise them under any circumstances.
* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler: Roman calls him out for working with Kincaid. But Dwight notes that she knows PragmaticVillainy better than Roman does. Roman only goes for power.]]
* NumberTwo: For Roman at the beginning of his career.
* OnlySaneMan: Pretty much the only main character with enough of a conscience to know when things are messed up. He also has to deal with Roman’s ego.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: After betraying Roman, he’s killed by the very woman he teamed up with to betray him.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He decides to abandon Roman when he suggests killing someone’s family.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Roman. They constantly bicker with each other even when they are out being enforcers for Kincaid.
* TookALevelInBadass: It's a subtle one, but it is still very noticeable in his character development. Dwight was much more meek and timid at the beginning of ''Roman's Empire'', but after spending years with Roman, he grows bolder more assertive. Dwight starts speaking his mind more and is more willing to call out Roman. Years of being in organized crime with Roman definitely helped him grow a spine. [[spoiler: He even has the guts to both go back to Kincaid to defy Roman ''and'' to stand up to her when she tries to kill Chloe. It ultimately doesn't pan out for him, but hey. At least he made some improvements.]]
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: Roman calls him out on this when he sides with Kincaid.]]
* VillainousFriendship: He used to have this with Roman.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Roman notes that now that he’s betrayed him, there’s nothing stopping her from killing him since the only reason she cared about him was that he was associated with Roman.]]

[[folder:Chloe]]
!!Chloe Torchwick (nee Price)
Roman’s wife and financial manager.
----
!!!Tropes:
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: How Kincaid kills her.]]
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: She’s aware of her husband’s profession and what he does on a daily basis. But she’s still there. And she doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it.
* CutenessProximity: She thinks Neo is absolutely adorable and can’t help but pinch her cheeks whenever she sees her.
* DeadpanSnarker: The only aversion in the WorldOfSnark that is the story ''Roman's Empire''.
* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge on Her]]: [[spoiler: Chloe’s death is rather abrupt.]]
* ElectricTorture: [[spoiler: She was soaked and had her feet stuck in a small tub with a lightning Dust crystal.]]
* HiddenDepths: She’s good at accounting. And she’s aware of Roman’s LackOfEmpathy. But she’s also very perceptive of noticing that Neo is an exception.
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler: She is kidnapped by Kincaid to invoke this. Though Dwight correctly noted that it wouldn’t work on [[LackOfEmpathy Roman]].]]
* ShoutOut: [[AvertedTrope She isn’t one.]] Even though her maiden name is the same as the character from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', that was not intended as the writer later admits.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Gal]]: She handles the finances for Roman’s criminal enterprise.
* TrophyWife: Roman initially marries her so he can have a queen for his empire.
* UndyingLoyalty: But not blind loyalty. She’s still upset that Roman [[spoiler: let her get tortured]], but she wouldn’t divorce him.
[[/folder]]

!!Violet Kincaid
Roman’s old mob boss and mentor.
----
!!!Tropes:
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Yeah. It’s probably a good thing that this woman got eviscerated by Neo.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She definitely shows herself to be the strongest members of the crew when a mobster attempts to kill her at one of her own parties. She effortlessly takes on guys with guns and comes out without a scratch.
* BadBoss: While she may [[FauxAffablyEvil act like a]] BenevolentBoss when interacting with underbosses, it’s all pragmatic. She’d rather be violently fighting them. Regular workers are more susceptible to her Bad Boss tendencies as Chapters 2 and 6 prove. The only low-level employees she treats well are Roman and Dwight. And even then, she [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk just wants to get into Roman's pants and thinks she'll upset him if he goes after Dwight]].
* BigBad: Of ''Roman’s Empire''. The end of Chapter 4 confirms her antagonism towards Roman.
* BloodKnight: She takes pride in fighting and says that she'd prefer a fight just before torturing Cordovan. She smiles when she has to kill some intruders during her party.
* BoobsOfSteel: She’s very busty and great fighter.
* BuxomIsBetter: She mentions that she would prefer Chloe to be bustier, implying a preference for busty ladies. She also has a nice rack herself (all natural as she points out) and likes showing it off. Especially for Roman.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's a subtle example, but she is proud to be a mobster and doesn't even try to paint herself as the victim.
* ControlFreak: Implied. She never likes having any threats to her power and will do anything to keep it. In Chapter 5 of ''Roman's Empire'', the reason she goes after Roman for draining her profits even though she's still very wealthy. [[spoiler: And her VillainousBreakdown is triggered by Roman and Neo escaping.]]
* CoolOldLady: Can you really get much cooler than a badass [[TheDon mob boss]] who lives like a playboy? Roman definitely looked up to her. [[spoiler: At least until she tries to punish him for infringing on her business.]]
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: She's a rich and successful mob boss who lives like a playboy. She hooks up with men and women left and right while enjoying dominating the underbosses under her control.
* DarkActionGirl: She’s not just the kind of mob boss to sit around and torture helpless people. She shows how well she can fight people during the party.
* DepravedBisexual: Downplayed. She seems to have no sense of boundaries and will flirt with anyone, but her major sociopathic behaviors have nothing to do with her bisexuality. If anything, her moments of sexual harassment and promiscuity are her least harmful offenses.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: For all her smug superiority, when the tables are turned, she begs for her life. Unfortunately, [[AxCrazy Neo]] was her attacker.]]
* DirtyOldWoman: She’s [[DownplayedTrope in her fifties]] at the beginning of the story, but she is still a shameless pervert. These tendencies haven’t stopped in her sixties.
* TheDon: She is the head of all organized crime in Vale.
* EvilOldFolks: After the TimeSkip, Roman notes that she has to be at least 62. (The oldest she could be is about 67 or 68.) Even when she was in her fifties, Roman loved to poke fun at this.
-->''"Pssh. I'm not'' that ''old."''
* EvilRedhead: Roman mentions that she has red hair.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She is incredibly charismatic and Roman even notes how good she is at not looking like “a [[{{Greed}} greedy]], [[BloodKnight violent]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]].” Even When she’s mad at Roman for taking her business, she still has a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic tone]].
* {{Gayngster}}: An unapologetically bisexual mob boss who was even introduced flirting with a girl.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Still a bombshell even in her sixties.
* TheHedonist: When she's not working, she's going out flirting with young and attractive people and hooking up with them. Even killing people is often [[{{Sadist}} for her pleasure]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: By Neo in the climax just before killing her.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She has a fondness for Roman and treats him nicely, but he sees right through it and knows it’s because she wants to get in his pants. She confirms this years later. She is also nice to Dwight, but it’s simply because he’s an associate of Roman’s, as he points out years later.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Killing Chloe despite Dwight’s protests against it.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: She continually states how getting attached to people is what gets people caught.
-->''“Even if I did get hitched and they took my lover hostage, I’d go over there and shoot them myself. Much cheaper than divorce.”''
* TheMentor: She was this to Roman. She taught him everything he knows.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The most powerful mob boss in Vale and most sadistic. Many of her male counterparts fear her. [[spoiler: And the one to finally take her down is Neo.]]
* MrsRobinson: She frequently goes after people who are at least two decades younger than her. She regularly attempts to sleep with Roman, who is about thirty years younger.
* MsFanservice: She’s busty, got some nice hips, a SexyWalk, wears outfits to accentuate it, and is unapologetically sexual.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When she’s about to be killed by Neo.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: The biggest sign that Kincaid has [[VillainousBreakdown officially lost it]] is when she kicks Roman directly in the face. Something she tried to avoid since she was attracted to him. After making a fool out of her after messing with her business, she really doesn't care anymore.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: The reason she can’t indulge in her sadistic desires more often. She needs to keep peace and make sure everyone stays happy, so they don’t try to revolt against her.
* ProudBeauty: She's sexy and she knows it. It's rare to see her downplaying how attractive she is.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She’s [[TheDon the head of all organized crime]] in Vale, she can fight and kill three armed men at once, and her name is “Violet.” She even wears a purple dress during her party where she beats up three armed men on her own.
* ReallyGetsAround: Implied. She makes many comments alluding to her sexual conquests.
* {{Sadist}}: Whether she be [[BloodKnight fighting people]], [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing them]], or just causing emotional distress, Kincaid loves to cause pain.
* [[SelfMadeMan Self-Made Woman]]: She rose up the ranks of the organized crime scene in Vale all on her own by the time she was thirty.
* TheSociopath: Roman lampshades this in Chapter 2. She is a textbook example of the trope, fitting every single point on the main trope page.
## LackOfEmpathy and [[TheUnfettered Devoid of Conscience]]: She’s willing to do anything including murder and torture to get ahead or [[ForTheEvulz for kicks]]. She’ll even torture other people’s loved ones.
## ConsummateLiar and [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulator]]: She has [[FauxAffablyEvil a lot of charisma]] and will use clever wording to make her selfish motives into something that looks like it will benefit others. [[spoiler: She basically does this to Dwight since he kills Chloe against his wishes.]]
## [[TheHedonist Pathological Need for Stimulation]]: She enjoys being violent with people whether it be murder, torture, or brawling. She also spends her downtime flirting and [[ReallyGetsAround having sex with]] attractive young [[BiTheWay men and women]].
## [[ItsAllAboutMe Shallow Affect and Complete Lack of Emotional Reciprocity]]: While she does have a fondness for Roman, it is purely because of her sexual attraction to him (as he points out many times) and his usefulness to her. [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk All her kindness is to make him sleep with her.]] And she throws it out the window when Roman screws up her business.
## [[{{Pride}} Grandiose Sense of Self-Worth]]: She thinks she’s hot stuff and she certainly acts like it. She’ll take every moment to compliment herself. It crosses with {{Narcissist}} since she’s not happy about any threats to her power.
* TortureTechnician: And she gets pretty creative, too. She uses a curling iron to burn Cordovan after he messes with her business. [[spoiler: She also uses lightning Dust to perform ElectricTorture on Chloe. She puts her bare feet in a tub of water with the Dust.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: She starts going through one when Roman and Neo escape. She drops all her charm and only has rage. She shoots Dwight in cold blood during a fit of rage, and even gives Roman a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown starting with kicking him [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in the face]].]]
* WouldHurtAChild: She plans to kill Reed’s family, young daughters included. She also casually mentions the fact that she has killed several children.

* AtrociousAlias: Everyone notes how stupid his self-proclaimed nickname is.

----
!!Hei "Junior" Xiong
A local club-owner in Vale and associate of Roman.
----
!!!Tropes:
* BenevolentBoss: As much as [[SurroundedByIdiots he hates the incompetence of his men]], he shows concern about Neo killing them so often. Even if it's just for pragmatic reasons (he needs them to work), it's more than [[BadBoss Roman]] can say.

Characters from ''Fanfic/RomansEmpire''.
[[foldercontrol]]
!Roman and His Associates
[[folder:Roman]]
!!Roman Torchwick
An up and coming mob boss in Vale. [[Characters/TheMakingsOfTeamCRME Find his tropes here.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Neo]]
!!Neopolitan
Roman's personal assistant. [[Characters/TheMakingsOfTeamCRME Find her tropes here.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dwight]]
!!Dwight Golding
Roman’s original partner.
----
!!!Tropes:
* AffablyEvil: No problem killing rivals when ordered to, but he's genuinely a nice guy compared to [[ItsAllAboutMe Roman]]. [[spoiler: He even tries to keep Chloe safe when it's clear that torturing her won't get anything out of Roman, despite what Kincaid wants.]]
* AntiVillain: He’s not really a bad guy (and much more morally sound than Roman).
* CoDragons: With Roman under Kincaid’s employ.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Roman pretty much lampshades this about his decision to rejoin Kincaid.]]
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He is abruptly killed by Kincaid in a fit of rage.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: He works with Kincaid to take down Roman.]]
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: He ends up betraying Roman when he finds out that his rise to power has upset Kincaid.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is appropriately horrified when he realizes that Kincaid is really going to kill Reed’s family. He also is disturbed when Roman considers doing the same for the police commissioner. [[spoiler: He also tries to keep Chloe alive since she was innocent when Kincaid would rather pointlessly kill her.]]
* TheFettered: He'll go to some pretty far lengths considering he is in organized crime, but he still has standards and won't compromise them under any circumstances.
* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler: Roman calls him out for working with Kincaid. But Dwight notes that she knows PragmaticVillainy better than Roman does. Roman only goes for power.]]
* NumberTwo: For Roman at the beginning of his career.
* OnlySaneMan: Pretty much the only main character with enough of a conscience to know when things are messed up. He also has to deal with Roman’s ego.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler: After betraying Roman, he’s killed by the very woman he teamed up with to betray him.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He decides to abandon Roman when he suggests killing someone’s family.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Roman. They constantly bicker with each other even when they are out being enforcers for Kincaid.
* TookALevelInBadass: It's a subtle one, but it is still very noticeable in his character development. Dwight was much more meek and timid at the beginning of ''Roman's Empire'', but after spending years with Roman, he grows bolder more assertive. Dwight starts speaking his mind more and is more willing to call out Roman. Years of being in organized crime with Roman definitely helped him grow a spine. [[spoiler: He even has the guts to both go back to Kincaid to defy Roman ''and'' to stand up to her when she tries to kill Chloe. It ultimately doesn't pan out for him, but hey. At least he made some improvements.]]
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: Roman calls him out on this when he sides with Kincaid.]]
* VillainousFriendship: He used to have this with Roman.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Roman notes that now that he’s betrayed him, there’s nothing stopping her from killing him since the only reason she cared about him was that he was associated with Roman.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Chloe]]
!!Chloe Torchwick (nee Price)
Roman’s wife and financial manager.
----
!!!Tropes:
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: How Kincaid kills her.]]
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: She’s aware of her husband’s profession and what he does on a daily basis. But she’s still there. And she doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it.
* CutenessProximity: She thinks Neo is absolutely adorable and can’t help but pinch her cheeks whenever she sees her.
* DeadpanSnarker: The only aversion in the WorldOfSnark that is the story ''Roman's Empire''.
* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Dropped a Bridge on Her]]: [[spoiler: Chloe’s death is rather abrupt.]]
* ElectricTorture: [[spoiler: She was soaked and had her feet stuck in a small tub with a lightning Dust crystal.]]
* HiddenDepths: She’s good at accounting. And she’s aware of Roman’s LackOfEmpathy. But she’s also very perceptive of noticing that Neo is an exception.
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler: She is kidnapped by Kincaid to invoke this. Though Dwight correctly noted that it wouldn’t work on [[LackOfEmpathy Roman]].]]
* ShoutOut: [[AvertedTrope She isn’t one.]] Even though her maiden name is the same as the character from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', that was not intended as the writer later admits.
* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Gal]]: She handles the finances for Roman’s criminal enterprise.
* TrophyWife: Roman initially marries her so he can have a queen for his empire.
* UndyingLoyalty: But not blind loyalty. She’s still upset that Roman [[spoiler: let her get tortured]], but she wouldn’t divorce him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Candice]]
!!Candice Torchwick
Roman’s mother.
----
!!!Tropes:
* GoodParents: She’s such a nice person and cares for his son even though she’s aware of his profession.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She is unaware that Kincaid killed Roman’s father.
* OpenMindedParent: She is proud of him for going so far up in the ranks of organized crime.
[[/folder]]
!Other Characters
[[folder:Kincaid]]
!!Violet Kincaid
Roman’s old mob boss and mentor.
----
!!!Tropes:
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Yeah. It’s probably a good thing that this woman got eviscerated by Neo.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She definitely shows herself to be the strongest members of the crew when a mobster attempts to kill her at one of her own parties. She effortlessly takes on guys with guns and comes out without a scratch.
* BadBoss: While she may [[FauxAffablyEvil act like a]] BenevolentBoss when interacting with underbosses, it’s all pragmatic. She’d rather be violently fighting them. Regular workers are more susceptible to her Bad Boss tendencies as Chapters 2 and 6 prove. The only low-level employees she treats well are Roman and Dwight. And even then, she [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk just wants to get into Roman's pants and thinks she'll upset him if he goes after Dwight]].
* BigBad: Of ''Roman’s Empire''. The end of Chapter 4 confirms her antagonism towards Roman.
* BloodKnight: She takes pride in fighting and says that she'd prefer a fight just before torturing Cordovan. She smiles when she has to kill some intruders during her party.
* BoobsOfSteel: She’s very busty and great fighter.
* BuxomIsBetter: She mentions that she would prefer Chloe to be bustier, implying a preference for busty ladies. She also has a nice rack herself (all natural as she points out) and likes showing it off. Especially for Roman.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's a subtle example, but she is proud to be a mobster and doesn't even try to paint herself as the victim.
* ControlFreak: Implied. She never likes having any threats to her power and will do anything to keep it. In Chapter 5 of ''Roman's Empire'', the reason she goes after Roman for draining her profits even though she's still very wealthy. [[spoiler: And her VillainousBreakdown is triggered by Roman and Neo escaping.]]
* CoolOldLady: Can you really get much cooler than a badass [[TheDon mob boss]] who lives like a playboy? Roman definitely looked up to her. [[spoiler: At least until she tries to punish him for infringing on her business.]]
* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: She's a rich and successful mob boss who lives like a playboy. She hooks up with men and women left and right while enjoying dominating the underbosses under her control.
* DarkActionGirl: She’s not just the kind of mob boss to sit around and torture helpless people. She shows how well she can fight people during the party.
* DepravedBisexual: Downplayed. She seems to have no sense of boundaries and will flirt with anyone, but her major sociopathic behaviors have nothing to do with her bisexuality. If anything, her moments of sexual harassment and promiscuity are her least harmful offenses.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: For all her smug superiority, when the tables are turned, she begs for her life. Unfortunately, [[AxCrazy Neo]] was her attacker.]]
* DirtyOldWoman: She’s [[DownplayedTrope in her fifties]] at the beginning of the story, but she is still a shameless pervert. These tendencies haven’t stopped in her sixties.
* TheDon: She is the head of all organized crime in Vale.
* EvilOldFolks: After the TimeSkip, Roman notes that she has to be at least 62. (The oldest she could be is about 67 or 68.) Even when she was in her fifties, Roman loved to poke fun at this.
-->''"Pssh. I'm not'' that ''old."''
* EvilRedhead: Roman mentions that she has red hair.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She is incredibly charismatic and Roman even notes how good she is at not looking like “a [[{{Greed}} greedy]], [[BloodKnight violent]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]].” Even When she’s mad at Roman for taking her business, she still has a [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic tone]].
* {{Gayngster}}: An unapologetically bisexual mob boss who was even introduced flirting with a girl.
* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Still a bombshell even in her sixties.
* TheHedonist: When she's not working, she's going out flirting with young and attractive people and hooking up with them. Even killing people is often [[{{Sadist}} for her pleasure]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: By Neo in the climax just before killing her.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: She has a fondness for Roman and treats him nicely, but he sees right through it and knows it’s because she wants to get in his pants. She confirms this years later. She is also nice to Dwight, but it’s simply because he’s an associate of Roman’s, as he points out years later.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Killing Chloe despite Dwight’s protests against it.]]
* LoveIsAWeakness: She continually states how getting attached to people is what gets people caught.
-->''“Even if I did get hitched and they took my lover hostage, I’d go over there and shoot them myself. Much cheaper than divorce.”''
* TheMentor: She was this to Roman. She taught him everything he knows.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The most powerful mob boss in Vale and most sadistic. Many of her male counterparts fear her. [[spoiler: And the one to finally take her down is Neo.]]
* MrsRobinson: She frequently goes after people who are at least two decades younger than her. She regularly attempts to sleep with Roman, who is about thirty years younger.
* MsFanservice: She’s busty, got some nice hips, a SexyWalk, wears outfits to accentuate it, and is unapologetically sexual.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When she’s about to be killed by Neo.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler: The biggest sign that Kincaid has [[VillainousBreakdown officially lost it]] is when she kicks Roman directly in the face. Something she tried to avoid since she was attracted to him. After making a fool out of her after messing with her business, she really doesn't care anymore.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: The reason she can’t indulge in her sadistic desires more often. She needs to keep peace and make sure everyone stays happy, so they don’t try to revolt against her.
* ProudBeauty: She's sexy and she knows it. It's rare to see her downplaying how attractive she is.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She’s [[TheDon the head of all organized crime]] in Vale, she can fight and kill three armed men at once, and her name is “Violet.” She even wears a purple dress during her party where she beats up three armed men on her own.
* ReallyGetsAround: Implied. She makes many comments alluding to her sexual conquests.
* {{Sadist}}: Whether she be [[BloodKnight fighting people]], [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing them]], or just causing emotional distress, Kincaid loves to cause pain.
* [[SelfMadeMan Self-Made Woman]]: She rose up the ranks of the organized crime scene in Vale all on her own by the time she was thirty.
* TheSociopath: Roman lampshades this in Chapter 2. She is a textbook example of the trope, fitting every single point on the main trope page.
## LackOfEmpathy and [[TheUnfettered Devoid of Conscience]]: She’s willing to do anything including murder and torture to get ahead or [[ForTheEvulz for kicks]]. She’ll even torture other people’s loved ones.
## ConsummateLiar and [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulator]]: She has [[FauxAffablyEvil a lot of charisma]] and will use clever wording to make her selfish motives into something that looks like it will benefit others. [[spoiler: She basically does this to Dwight since he kills Chloe against his wishes.]]
## [[TheHedonist Pathological Need for Stimulation]]: She enjoys being violent with people whether it be murder, torture, or brawling. She also spends her downtime flirting and [[ReallyGetsAround having sex with]] attractive young [[BiTheWay men and women]].
## [[ItsAllAboutMe Shallow Affect and Complete Lack of Emotional Reciprocity]]: While she does have a fondness for Roman, it is purely because of her sexual attraction to him (as he points out many times) and his usefulness to her. [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk All her kindness is to make him sleep with her.]] And she throws it out the window when Roman screws up her business.
## [[{{Pride}} Grandiose Sense of Self-Worth]]: She thinks she’s hot stuff and she certainly acts like it. She’ll take every moment to compliment herself. It crosses with {{Narcissist}} since she’s not happy about any threats to her power.
* TortureTechnician: And she gets pretty creative, too. She uses a curling iron to burn Cordovan after he messes with her business. [[spoiler: She also uses lightning Dust to perform ElectricTorture on Chloe. She puts her bare feet in a tub of water with the Dust.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: She starts going through one when Roman and Neo escape. She drops all her charm and only has rage. She shoots Dwight in cold blood during a fit of rage, and even gives Roman a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown starting with kicking him [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in the face]].]]
* WouldHurtAChild: She plans to kill Reed’s family, young daughters included. She also casually mentions the fact that she has killed several children.
