History Characters / ShakuganNoShana

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Shana. [[spoiler:[[TheyDo They end up in a romantic relationship at the end of the series.]]]]

* MoralityChain: Shana appoints herself as [[spoiler: Yuji's]] at the end of the series. Rather than let him separate himself from her in penance, she insists that [[TheyDo she accompany him]] on his quest for true peace between Denizens and humans, correcting him and keeping him on the straight and narrow when necessary.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Given her Tsundere attitude, any relationship she might start with Yuji is a amibigious. [[spoiler: It becomes more unlikely after Yuji's face-heel-turn until TheyDo at the end.]]

** He originally intended to [[WalkingTheEarth travel Xanadu]] ''without'' Shana until true peace between humans and Denizens was achieved (which he predicts may take ''thousands of years'') as penance, believing his [[NoPlaceForMeThere actions made him unworthy of being with Shana]]. Fortunately, Shana has no inclination to wait any longer to [[TheyDo be together]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: She is the commander of the Flame Haze army, and she one-shots [[EldritchAbomination Decarabia]].

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the General of Bal Masque's army and also its most powerful soldier.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: One of the most powerful of the Crimson Lords, [[spoiler: Sophie Sawallisch uses up most of her power killing him.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is a Crimson Lord in addition to being a leader of one of Bal Masqué's armies, and his arrival is bad news for his enemy.

* ShanaClone: The [[TropeNamer original]] flavor, popularizing the archetype of the short, flat-chested {{Tsundere}}.

* GagBoobs: During the festival, and because of her open kimono, everyone got an eyeful.

%%* AwesomeMcCoolname

* KnifeNut: Valac communicates to him through his family heirloom, a dagger, which he also uses in combat.

* MsFanservice: Doesn't mind flaunting her body, though [[EveryoneHasStandards she draws the line]] [[NakedFirstImpression at being caught in the buff by Yuri]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: Demonstrates this twice with her BadassLongcoat. Once after beating up Yuji for dropping in while she was changing, and again when her school uniform is slashed neatly down the chest by Sorath.

* AbsoluteCleavage: During the BeachEpisode (water park technically), her swimsuit is as modest as can be expected from someone like her.

* SimpleStaff: His Treasure Tool, Mekest, resembles a huge metallic column, which he swings around like a staff.

* SimpleStaff: Her Treasure Tool, Trigon, is a stylized ''shakujo'' staff.

* CryCute: She's quite frankly adorable whenever she cries, most notably when she and Yuji reconcile towards the end of the Margery Daw arc and later when she discovers Yuji is still alive despite the Midnight Lost Child being stolen from him by Bal Masqué.

* CryCute: She has such a soft and gentle heart that battle distresses her, and she cries while fighting.

Entitled "Priestess", Hecate is a small girl with a NiceHat, a staff and a white cape, who controls the movements of Seireiden, the base of the Bal Masqué. Melancholic and quiet, frequently lamenting herself as "empty", she habitually prays, but to nothing in particular, which Bel Peol finds odd.

* NiceHat: A white jester hat that dangles red balls; so nice, it's the current trope picture.

* NiceHat: Tiriel's frilled bonnet, both fancy and ostentatious.

* NiceHat: A classical Victorian hat for a gentleman.

* ICanChangeMyBeloved: After [[spoiler:Yuji becomes Snake of the Festival, she makes her goal to defeat him and redeem him in order to be with him. It helps that Yuji has legitimately good reasons for doing what he's doing, with the point of contention about how feasible his dream is and way he's pursuing it]].

* ElementalHairColors: Her hair turns red when she uses her fire powers.

* FieryRedhead: [[PlayingWithFire Literally]], but only when she activates her Flame Haze powers. Normally, her hair is dark black-brown.

* PowerDyesYourHair: Black to red, usually accompanied with embers.

* AnimeChineseGirl: Shana was found originally in Hong Kong, likely making her this in ethnicity. She even wore a {{qipao}} during her training prior to being a Flame Haze.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair is almost as long as her body. Rather than status or vanity, it's probably because she doesn't bother cutting it.

%%%* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes down to her ankles.

%%%* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes down to at least her knees.

%%%* RapunzelHair: Her hair reaches down to her knees.

* RapunzelHair: Again in keeping with her ElegantGothicLolita style, Tiriel's hair goes down to her shoulders and waist.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His hair has become [[RapunzelHair very lengthy]], and he's overall more handsome than his previous appearance.

* RapunzelHair: In his guise as the Snake of the Festival's host, his grows much longer. Part of this is to [[PrehensileHair stretch as a weapon]] but it is also to make him look more distinguished.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green hair is strange in this setting, an indication that she's not human.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is pink. It is unknown if this is a flame haze trait like Shana's red hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her unusual phenotype is the product of her being a Crimson Lord.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Green hair, but she's a Crimson Lord, so it's okay.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Blue hair isn't impossible for a Crimson Denizen.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has violet hair but she's a Crimson Lord so it's not improbable.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: It's unrestrictive for combat. Shana shortened a {{qipao}} for the same reason. Besides, her Grade A ZettaiRyouiki wouldn't work otherwise.

* {{Megane}}: As is befitting of his role of the brain and level-headed adviser in his friends' group.

* {{Megane}}: When he dies, his glasses are the only thing left behind.

* FingerlessGloves: One of the few purely aesthetic parts of her character design, whereas everything else about Pheles creams FemmeFatale.

* TheAgeless: The final light novel confirms that he will never age after [[spoiler:he becomes a complete existence, courtesy of Leanan-sidhe's Unrestricted Spell, Grammatica]].

* CastFromHitPoints: As the Mystes of the Midnight Lost Child, Yuji can lend his power to Shana, and later, cast his own Unrestricted Spells, using his very existence. This is not debilitating unless he uses up all of it before it can be replenished at midnight.

* AnimeChineseGirl: Shana was found originally in Hong Kong, likely making her this in ethnicity. She even (unwillingly) wore a {{qipao}} during her training prior to being a Flame Haze.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Her ultimate technique, which allows her to materialize Alastor. Even without resorting to this, she's strong enough in ''II'' that she can incinerate several square miles of Misaki City, and only gets stronger from there.

* CreepyBlueEyes: Both have blue eyes and are villains of inhuman nature.
* CreepyTwins: Their being twins makes their appearance and behavior even more uncanny, and ups the {{Squick}} factor of their [[BrotherSisterIncest incest]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: Sorath's title is "He-Who-Loves-Himself" for a good reason. He's utterly self-absorbed, entirely focused on his own gratification. Not only does he not care when Tiriel dies giving him her Power of Existence, he doesn't even seem to be ''aware'' that it happened.

[[folder:Merihim [=/=] Shiro]]

* AllTakeAndNoGive: Tiriel gives Sorath anything he wants so she can keep him pleased even if it means giving up her life for him while Sorath only cares about getting what he wants and as long as Tiriel can give it to him he doesn't really care about what happens to her.

* BrotherSisterIncest: In a negative, even [[{{Squick}} downright disgusting]] light. Considering [[DemonicInvaders what they are]], though, genealogy may be a moot point.

* ElegantGothicLolita: Tiriel. She wears a puffy dress bedecked with ribbons and a frilly bonnet. Given her nature and personality, her clothing only makes her more disturbing.

* MakeOutKids: They're always sloppily making out any chance they get without caring one bit about how awkward and squicky it is for people around them (especially given how visible is that they are brother and sister). Shana comes to understand that this type of relationship is shallow and entirely physical and not true love.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: They [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzag]] this trope. Sorath's more sensitive and submissive compared to Tiriel, but Tiriel is nothing if not feminine in her manner of dress and Sorath is the one swinging a sword around.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: To [[spoiler:Yuji after he becomes Snake of the Festival, because she thinks she needs to beat the Snake out of him]]. However, [[spoiler: it quickly becomes clear he is't being controlled]].

* MasterOfThreads: Wilhelmina's main ability is manipulating ribbons that she uses to whip and constrain targets.

* CombatTentacles: Her ribbons act as tentacles by whipping and constraining targets.
