* AboveTheInfluence: If playing the Corval Court Lady, one of the reasons Blain apparently dislikes her is that he tried to flirt with her to get her support for his own selection to the Summit and got completely ignored.

* ManipulativeBastard: A Immoral, Indifferent MC with high manipulation is this.



* DeathGlare: If you have raised his romance high enough for him to consider a match, the Matchmaker tells you that he didn't say a word, but shot her a glare that said everything she needed to know when she mentioned that you might make a good match for someone else.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Noted by the creator to not really care about things that don't directly involve him.



* UpperClassTwit: There are some scattered about, such as the delegate from Wellin who wishes to marry someone from his own country, having apparently missed the point of the summit.

* TooDumbToLive: Just before [[spoiler: the balcony set falls, the protagonist, having already been lured in with a fake note, hears someone in a dark, cluttered room calling out her name; the game then asks if you want her to move closer.]] Picking No raises your Insight stat, but picking Yes actually lowers it. This is one of the only times the game actually takes away a stat, reasoning that anyone disregarding so many warning signs is this trope.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Determinator}}: The game is said in the intro to take place about 100 years after the first Summit, but when asked how long after Katyia's death the game takes place, the creator answered [[https://azalynestudios.tumblr.com/post/183573280656/how-long-after-katiyas-death-is-this "several generations."]] Either we're measuring very short generations or it took her ''decades'' to organize the first Summit.

* {{Adorkable}}: Duke Lyon is brilliant, socially awkward, and remarkably easy (and fun!) to tease and fluster.



* HiddenDepths: He may be {{Adorkable}}, but he can't be manipulated. If your MC is immoral she can't hide it from him no matter how high her manipulation skill is. [[spoiler:And a secret scene in week 5 shows him meeting with Woodley on the cliffs after following a secret code Woodley left in the library. He has no problem giving him TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for his manipulations and "creepy interest in some of the delegates"]]

The Hise MC actually gave up piracy so her father wouldn't worry. Finally, the Arland MC is this at the beginning, but begins to reflect on what 'duty' really means in her personal plot.

* UnscrupulousHero: When playing your character's background story, you have the option of choosing very ruthless means of dealing with rivals. Usually this is in the form of taking revenge, befitting this trope, but in the case of the Ambitious Widow background, when rumors say you killed your husband, you can choose for this to actually be the case.
* UpperClassTwit: Your character can act this way, although in Challenge Mode, it will almost certainly result in being kicked out in Week Three.

The roguish Captain of the ship ''Blackwater'' is the son of Hise's current leader. Although there is no direct inheritance in Hise, by all accounts he is already on the path to surpass his father. He is impulsive, adventurous and irreverent and most importantly, an excellent captain and leader.

* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Duke Lyon is the single most intelligent person in the game, and possibly the least socially adept. He warns you up-front in your first conversation that he doesn't expect anyone to enjoy talking to him; in a later conversation he is genuinely surprised when, having stepped away after telling him she'd be right back, the player character ''actually comes back'' rather than using the excuse to get away from him.

The young earl of Arland spent most of his youth traveling and being fostered around different kingdoms. Following the recent death of his father, he has returned to Arland (and is attending the Summit) to finally take up his duties. He seems a friendly, good sport, with no particular ambitions.

* FreudianExcuse: Subverted, at least according to her. While she believes her parents did her few favours, Gisette claims sole responsibility for the way she is today, mocking any expectation that she might be [[BrokenBird a good person inside]] [[DarkAndTroubledPast twisted by circumstances]].



* IceQueen: Princess Gisette is proud, haughty, and remote. Her profile on the official site specifically refers to her as "The Ice Queen."

to:

* IAmWhatIAm: Though she says it was her parents' actions that put their children into a position where they must fight and scheme to survive, Gisette does not begrudge their ambitions any and does not blame anything or anyone other than herself for what she is today, nor does she feel any guilt for her actions, [[spoiler:including her attempted murder of you, even if you are her lover.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She claims this trope when it comes to keeping order in her own nation, as according to her she and her brother would likely meet grisly ends if they come out the loser. [[spoiler:If you question her about it on her route, Gisette also invokes this trope about her attempted murder on you, though by that point she is glad you survived the attempt.]]
